Yeah, but where’s Ron Paul gonna go?

Maybe they should start a Moonbat Party. Paul and Kucinich could fight it out for the '08 nomination.

Exactly.

If Paul supporters had any sense they would have realized a long time ago that if they REALLY wanted smaller government and federalism than Thompson was the man. Who knows maybe some of those supporters will wise up, but I won’t be holding my breath. The one’s I’ve talked to are still defending the guy...unbelievable!

McCain is problematic, for sure. His voting record is mostly conservative, but he has stabbed conservatives and the GOP in the back several times. Factor his voting record (83 lifetime ACU rating) with his annoying “maverick” behaviors, and you still get someone who occupies far more of the GOP’s ideological space than Ron Paul ever will. Paul has the small government thing going for him, but that’s about it. I’d rather have Thompson, but I’d take McCain over Paul any day.

Now, send the same message to Rudy, Romney, Huckster, and McInsane.

Seriously. Paul is closer to the Republican platform than these four and 90% of the idiots we have in Congress.

Perhaps the leading candidates could echo this brilliant post. If Paul is so repugnant they should come out explicitly against Paul’s and his supporter’s racism against minorities and seek to bounce Paul and his 10% out of the party. Those few thousand won’t be missed and think of the millions who will look to the GOP as the true saviors of America. Just an idea, maybe you could e-mail your post to the campaigns.

A lot of folks wonder how much Soros money is going to his pals McCain, Rudy, Romney, Huckabee and Thompson.

They’re all in the club with him.

The Grand Klegal (sp?) is a CommieCrat from West Virginia.

Does the Klan still have its own political party?

As much as I disagree with the Rudy McRomnabee’s of the GOP they are far better men than Ron Paul is. At least they don’t draw most of their support from neo-Nazis and other hate groups. If I thought Ron Paul represented what the GOP ought to be, I’d leave the party. Even the Democrats would give us a better president than Ron Paul.

It isn’t. And that is not his intent. His intent is to avoid wars. Which in this case is utter stupidity, IMO.

But,

Is Rudy pro-life? no
Is Rudy pro 2A? no
Is Rudy against Kelo? no
Is Rudy remotely conservative? No

Remember, Fred Phelps talks about the bible and Christianity all the time, doesn’t mean you want him at your church.

That is one of the best analogies I have heard. Brilliant, sir. Simply brilliant.

All of them....If they do not look like, talk like, walk like, dress like, etc. President Bush, they all need to go. That seems to be the logic of some. Get rid of the big tent and replace it with a pup tent.

If I thought Ron Paul was a true Republican, I couldn't be one. He ought to leave, and I have been saying so for years.

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

Ron Paul proposes that our military be destroyed? Are you sure about that?

Good points. How long can his supporters come on FreeRepublic and call all who do not agree with this kooky "libertarian" RINOs when clearly it is their guru and master who is the RINO?
