It seems that none of the Fred supporters I have seen can admit a single flaw in the man.

I support him and I can admit a flaw in him. Of course, you have never seen me so perhaps it's all for naught.

Paul is embracing the notion that the Constitution as written is the absolute prism that Govt should run by, normally that would be fine, but..

willing to give up a little liberty for security eh?

[maica]

Thanks for posting the memo from the “lawyers.”

[eeevil conservative]

share with me your thoughts?

no thanks...you remind me of a woman who won’t shut up after the night cap......

been mostly trying to ignore you....a political analyst you are not, dear.....

[eeevil conservative]

not me.....but willing to understand that our enemies have done their homework....

no longer do “countries” invade us militarily (as a nation).....our gov’t needs to pull together and find a legal way to address the part of the Constitution that may hinder us from protecting ourselves.....

[Rick_Michael]

I agree. Depending on the conditions in Iraq and the candidate, we’ll see a Republican or Hillary.

So we must have faith in the republican primary voters and Bush.

The former I trust more, but I hope Bush uses his time well...or we’ll have a much bigger problem with Hillary.

[NordP]

HUNTER is doing Sooooooooooooooooo well.

[Shortstop7]

I don’t look at the cut of their collars either. Utter hogwash.

[Petronski]

Willard, what’s your view on the scope of your national security authority in this situation?

Ask my lawyers.

Well, what about this one?

Ask my lawyers.

[NordP]

Ron Paul is dangerous.

[Rick_Michael]

That is sort of rude. Have I done something specifically to you, to offend you?

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!!

I love how his voice almost reaches the same pitch as Hillary’s screeching.....

heh, heh, heh.......

[traviskicks]

They want a handsome, photogenic, and glib politician.

as does most of the US population. rather sad isn't it...?

[MNJohnnie]

Still waiting for ONE of you Paulbots to answer this simple challenge.

Or is sneering at everyone else while being wholly unable to present an intellectually serious case for your boy all you Paulbots are capable of?

Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me HOW Paul would do anything. Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

See, you need us to support Dr Paul. We have no reason to support Dr Paul. So please explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do anything. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. None of the usual Paulite personal attacks in place of reason argument. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. NO statements of what YOU think Paul means. REAL plans with documented links so we can read them for ourselves.

[Shortstop7]

Heehee. Paulette does tend to screech, doesn’t he?

[eeevil conservative]

no....nothing specific....

you just annoy me in general.....

[longtermmemmory]

Difinative losers from this debate:

Huckabee
Tancredo
Brownback
Paul

off the island!

[eeevil conservative]

ROFLLLL!!!!

[Rick_Michael]

“I don’t look at the cut of their collars either. Utter hogwash.”

Yes.

[Shortstop7]

OH my gosh........Paul just had such an evil look on his face after Rudy talked about the 9-11 attackers. Paul is definitely unhinged, imho.
