Ron Paul, get out of the Republican Party.

Modern Conservative ^ | Christopher Cook

[connell]

Leave. Just go.

Mr. Paul, you are NOT a Republican. You may have views that intersect with some aspects of the Republican platform. That does NOT make you a Republican.

The Republican Party is a big tent movement. We don't apply nearly the same strictness when it comes to tests of ideological purity as the Democrats do, but we still have some standards. And you, sir, do not even come close to meeting them.

People who blame America for the acts of war made against it are not Republicans.

People who think that we blew up our own buildings on 9/11...or who hint that we might have...or who attract the support of people with such beliefs...are not Republicans.

People who may be receiving secret funding from George Soros...and who certainly receive energy and succor from radical leftists...are not Republicans.

People who have become the darling of, and the recipient of support from, America's neo-Nazis and white supremacists---and who refuse to openly repudiate that support---are not Republicans.

And people who publish racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-American newsletters...are not Republicans.

Oh, and your protestations of innocence regarding this racist, anti-Semitic, anti-American newsletter to which you attached your name are absurd. As Jonah Goldberg said yesterday on the Michael Medved show, if...

Makes you wonder who here is remnants of one of the prior infiltration campaigns?

And you guys call the Ron Paul supporters conspiracy nuts!

LOL!

If I had to pick between big government and racist hate groups, I’d have to take the big government.

Someone used to have a "I can't believe I read this on FR" list. This would have been the perfect addition.

[bcsco]

Ummm, if you don't like my posts you support the terrorists?

That's your implication. And it's stupid.

Of –preposition 1...

My mistake, yes. But one a spellchecker wouldn't pick up. So I'm still ahead of the game, Bucko.

[jmc813]

That's your implication. And it's stupid.

I thought you were gonna have me for breakfast if I posted that. C'mon I wanted to see you flip out. Start over. And I just realized you f#%&ed up the "or" in your last post too.

[fortheDeclaration]

So why is Rudy fair game for criticism but Paul isn't?

If you are advocating the purging of all pro-abortionists from the GOP, then fine, say that.

As for Duke, he was not rejected for his 'neo-Confederate' views, but for his past KKK affiliation.

[fortheDeclaration]

[Are the other candidates cowards? I’m told they threw Duke out so why can’t they throw Paul out if he is as bad as some of the posters here says he is?]

Put a sock in it.

It is indeed amazing how haughty you anti-Paul zealots are.

[HoustonTech]

That would be fine with me. If FR starts supporting hate groups, I would leave it too. Are you saying FR is a hate group?

[bcsco]

I thought you were gonna have me for breakfast if I posted that. C'mon I wanted to see you flip out.

Ha. That'll be the day.

And I just realized you f#%&ed up the "or" in your last post too.

If it was an 'of' you were referring to, still another non-spell check error.

You really need to get off this pettiness. It's making you out the kindergärtner you are.

[bcsco]

It is indeed amazing how haughty you anti-Paul zealots are.

Not haughty at all. That definition goes to you PaulBots. We're simply tired of your drivel.

[HoustonTech]

And you guys call the Ron Paul supporters conspiracy nuts!

Well, I've never called any of the Ron Paul conspiracy nuts, and if they call me, I'll hang up. ;-)

[bcsco]

Beautiful!

[Globalist Goon]

I agree. Any person or candidate who wants government out of their life should ditch the Republicans.

[Xenalyte]

Since from your name I assume you’re in H-town, and therefore a local call for me, I’ll be glad to call you so you can hang up on me. Would that make everyone fell better?

[fortheDeclaration]

“other candidates” didn’t throw Duke out, we the people threw Duke out. As I recall, the other candidates ignored Duke, and rightly so, he wasn’t worth their time.

Duke still ran as a Republican when Livingston resigned and garnered 19% of the vote.

[bcsco]

Duke still ran as a Republican when Livingston resigned and garnered 19% of the vote.

So by this, are you saying his racism was an asset and should be considered acceptable by the GOP?

[fortheDeclaration]

Either way the point is a man who calls Reagan “a dramatic failure” cannot be a true member of the party of Reagan.

Really?

And did the size of government increase or decrease under Reagan?

[HoustonTech]

I can’t believe that someone would seek to censor denounciation of hate groups as being “PC.” If the hate groups are giving us big government, that’s all the more reason to condemn them, but I suspect you are implying something else.

Don’t try to hang “hate crime” legislation on me. I’m opposed to as much as anyone, but I won’t let this kind of stupid argument keep me from denouncing hate mongers and their supporters. There were hate groups out there long before there was anything called a hate crime, and Republicans even more than Democrats have always been opposed to them.

I for one am not willing to let them or their apologists ruin my party. Those of you who want to embrace them need to get you head out of the sand.

[fortheDeclaration]

Not really. Reagan, Bush I and Atwater were vocal in their denunciation. You can't "actually throw someone out" of the party, Duke or Paul, but they ran a second Republican candidate against him. The runoff Duke won was Rep vs Rep. GWB campaigned for John Treen, the other Republican. Might have been his political campaign experience.

Yes, and that happened also in Virgina when the RINO's made sure Ollie North wouldn't get elected.

[bcsco]

I for one am not willing to let them or their apologists ruin my party. Those of you who want to embrace them need to get you head out of the sand go where you're welcome.

There. Fixed it.

PAUL WANTS TO DESTROY OUR MILITARY - HOW IS THAT A REPUBLICAN ISSUE?

In what way? My officer friends in the Army disagree.
