he's making a damned fool ideological argument.

Ron Paul believes that words should mean something. We've had six years of war rhetoric, yet bin Laden is not in our hands. The borders are open. Islamic immigration has increased. Saudis send suicide bombers to kill our troops in Iraq at will.

Ron Paul knows that our liberties have suffered, and we are no closer to winning the war than we were before. It should be the other way around.

Yes, Ron Paul knows that ideas and words mean something. That is why he avoids war rhetoric as much as possible, instead preferring to talk about restoring our liberty. He is correct.

How much dough is Ron Paul receiving from George $oro$ or other left-wing donors? I believe McCain got some $oro$ cash back when he was still viable. The DNC playbook includes ‘divide and conquer’ and they’ve been successful at it.

It would be interesting to estimate how much of Paul’s notoriety is being propped up by the DNC, as a way to peel off many Independent Conservatives to increase Her Heinous’ chances in 2008.

The rats did something similar in 2006 on a smaller scale, to grab DeLay’s district by backing a marginal candidate, just a few 1000s of lost votes may have made the difference.

So that's why he throws the word "neocon" around so much. What does that word mean again?

It also must be why he's come up with a comprehensive, practical, alternative plan for defeating Islamic terrorism rather than engaging in "rhetoric". I'm sure he'll get around to explaining what he's going to do about al Qaeda just as soon as possible. Or maybe he comfortable in the knowledge that, after listening to his rhetoric, no one will have a reason to attack the United States so long as Ron Paul is President.

If Ron Paul was as serious about defending this country as his supporters insist he is, he might just be worth considering. The overwhelming weight of evidence, largely coming out of his own mouth, flies in the face of such as assertion.

What is Ron Paul suggesting that will increase the probability of apprehending Osama bin Laden?

Ron Paul knows that our liberties have suffered,

Yes, and that's part of the problem, that Paul "knows" something that is just plain nonsense. Pray tell what "liberties" of yours do you think have "suffered"? Be as specific as you can. I'll be here.
