Ron Paul, get out of the Republican Party.
Modern Conservative ^ | Christopher Cook

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...

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 it had been one or two issues, and then you closed down the newsletter, that would be acceptable. Letting it go on for two decades is not.

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

I am not a Paul fan at all, but if he is supposed to leave, could he take most of our other candidates and drop them off a RAT headquarters?

I just read one person’s comment that was very interesting. How come, if these comments were written by a ‘ghost writer’ who was fired for making those statements, was a retraction, correction or disavowment not printed in a later newsletter?

What a dumb article.

I guess pro-abortionists and gun grabbers are A-OK with this dope.

No, what is sad is that Christian socialists and Democrats running as Republicans beat Thompson.

Was it incorrect?
Just wondering.

Naturally, the PaulBots will be in complete denial. It doesn’t matter where the material comes from, no one has the right to criticize Ron Paul except Ron Paul. Anyone else is a liberal, a socialist, a neo-conservative, whatever name they find handy at the time.

Frankly, this is why I agreed with you yesterday that we should not be zotting PaulBots out of hand. The more they show themselves for what they are, the more honest FReepers will see just what motivates them.

In a liberal state that Thompson didn’t even campaign in? Might as well ask how Paul will do against Thompson in San Francisco. Not worried. Let’s wait until Super Tuesday and see how that plays out.

What a dumb response. The article write is right on. Ron Paul is no republican, and those who support him can leave too.

Yeah, but where’s Ron Paul gonna go? Does the Klan still have its own political party?

Besides Hunter, Paul is the only GOP candidate that is not sitting down and partying with Soros.

Be careful of what you ask for. An independent run by Ron Paul in 08 could sink the GOP nominee.

Not as sad as unrealistic hopes being pinned on candidates with zero charisma and long past their prime who obviously don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. (Remember Bob Dole?)
