David Duke ran on the platform of limited government and returning to Constitutional values, heck, he even disavowed racism, but didn’t mean the Republicna party had to accept him. If Paul was only about Constitutional values and limited government, we wouldn’t have a problem with him.

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

My perception is that Ron Paul is being run out of the Republican Party precisely because of his belief in limited government - the peripheral issues are just excuses. Many Republicans talk favorably about limiting government, but when they realize that in doing so they will lose the chance to control (or make war upon) people whose beliefs they don't like, all of a sudden they turn their backs on the idea and shun the one who proposed it.

“If Paul was only about Constitutional values and limited government, we wouldn’t have a problem with him.”

Put down your pipe. I’ve seen enough of your posts to know that regardless of “anything whatsoever”, you would oppose him.

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

You're either naive or lying. This Republican Party 2nd Millenium Version has no room for anyone who wants limited values, and you know it, or should.

To test that assertion, ask yourself if you had a problem with him BEFORE you ever heard about this newsletter.
