RON PAUL: Well, I haven’t thought about it completely, but you know, it reminds me of what Sinclair, uh, Lewis once said, he said ‘when Fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.’ I don’t know whether that’s a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross like he is the only Christian, or implying that subtly. So, uh, I don’t think I would ever use anything like that.

I guess Ron Paul would have a problem placing his hand on the Holy Bible to swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He just lost any chance of getting my vote.

Actually, he said nothing of the sort. He simply said he's not going to campaign like he is the only Christian among the candidates, in the process belittling the faith of other candidates. Read your own post.

But don't let little things like facts and reality interrupt an anti-Ron Paul temper tantrum. The anti-Ron Paul nuts here have a penchant for taking a quote, coming up with their own interpretation, throwing a temper tantrum over it and then cooking up conspiracy theories when confronted on it.
