I love the Paul haters and the fact they spend more time bashing Paul than doing something about supporting their candidate.

With little name recognition Paul marches on with his supporters Others with the big names are packing their bags and folding tents.

Come on over to the Revolution.

Not surprising that fringe folks, especially those who feel picked on by the State, want the police state toned down a bit.

I think they like that Ron Paul will remove all economic and military support for Israel. Let it rise or fall on its own, they say. If it is destroyed, so be it . .

Five Percent.

All that time, money and hopes in Florida... five percent.

Just saying.

support for Israel

Hmm, yes, quite possibly.

Israel would be the last country I would cut aid from. Just cutting back on foreign aid would be a step in the right direction.

Why is it that my two favorite foreign nations, Israel and Taiwan, are both banned from having seats in the U.N.

ps. are you who I think you are???

Yes, I am , indeed.

Actually, Israel is in the United Nations. Taiwan is not.

I stand corrected.

My hat is off to you, sir. You have the courage of your convictions!

He won't have the ability screw up the convention the way Buchanan did at the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston.

Pat Buchanan did not 'screw up' the 1992 convention.

I was there as a delegate.

What lost it for elder Bush was his infamous 'read my lips' speech that he reneged on.

That opened the door for a Perot candidacy, which 'screwed up' the election that year, not the Buchanan candidacy.

If the president had not been so adamant about holding the line on tax increases and then flip-flopping, there would have been no Bubba Klinton in the White House.

This should be good enough to win the White House for Hillary no matter what anyone else does.

Yeah, because we should all toe the party line and vote for McCain/Huckabee/Romney, right.

If either one of these clowns is nominated, I will ENCOURAGE Dr. Paul to run 3rd party.

Well, when he can’t get the nomination in the RP, don’t count it out. That’s the next thud to hit the floor IMO.

All of the other GOP candidates are going broke and they don't have money for Super Duper Tuesday ad buys. And they don't have the grassroots that Paul has.

So I wouldn't count Paul out yet. Even Tim Russert said Paul will be in up through the convention. And he'll have his seat at the table and his moment in the sun even if he's not nominated. And that's what's really important.

I didn’t know that about either man, but that’s a big problem for me. I’m sorry to hear it about Goldwater. I haven’t been a big political fan of his, but I did like the guy.

LOL, I hear ya. I just recognize that even if Fred were to pull it out, then nominate Hunter as his VP, Paul would take them down from a third party position.

He could also short circuit any message we were trying to send also.

The third party thud is what I was talking about. You may have understood that.

I’m not convinced Paul will make it to the convention, but I am interested to know where he’s getting all the money it takes to run his campaign.

I don’t know many Republicans who would support him after his stance on the war. That makes me think Soros. Wouldn’t that be a fine how do you do.
