It’s amazing to me that such vitriol gets unleashed here against conservatism. Leftist, anti-American websites are quoted as gospel since they go against Ron Paul. The fact that Ron Paul’s platform mirrors the longtime Republican platform is lost by what seem to be newbie Republicans who believe that a giant Nanny-State is the way to go, with a huge Federal Government Education Department, Imperial Executive, etc.
Frankly, I’m astonished. Although I don’t agree with Dr. Paul on everything, and I think Duncan Hunter has very conservative views and Fred Thompson seems to be honestly conservative, too, it is very difficult not to support his candidacy if one truly believes in the Constitution’s relevance today.
Well Gondring, that is sort of Ron Paul’s role in this campaign, he supposed to upset apple carts and offer differing opinions and radical views.
I doubt he will win, if we (meaning Republicans) lose in 08, Ron Paul’s brand of conservatism (Classic Conservatism BTW, non interventionist, inward looking) will be searched for what is useful and what is not.
Incoming no doubt...LOL!
You need to dig a lot deeper into how Ron Paul thinks about a myriad of issues and topics.
"Here’s one libertarian who doesn’t believe that America was responsible for 911, for example, as Ron Paul is on record as saying. I suspect I’m not alone in this. Here’s one libertarian who is thoroughly annoyed at our troops being called murderers, as Ron Paul is on record as having done. I suspect I’m not alone in this. Here is one libertarian who thinks there are few people in the country which can damage the libertarian movement more than Alex Jones can… and Ron Paul embraces the guy, yet refuses to show up on mainstream talkshows. Here is one libertarian who is outright disgusted with Ron Paul’s ties to Stormfront… ties he should have had the spine to disavow, yet did not. I suspect I’m not alone in this. Here’s one libertarian who is disgusted with Ron Paul’s’ being a cheerleader for the PLO. I suspect I’m not alone in this. Here’s one libertarian who is disgusted with Ron Paul’s’ stance on Israel… and so on. The list of these is easily longer than the list of his rabid, non-thinking supporters."
Paul did it again, refused to distance himself from the Alex Jones "truthers."
