Ahh, a goosestepper with a lifetime 82 rating from the ACU. You’re as nuts as the supporter you quoted is.”

Typical ignorant response from a paulistinian.

Your are entitled to your opnion, not the facts.

This guy has bashed the US, he has truthers in his corner, he has support from racial websites, and is antisemetic.
He blames us for 9/11.

if you really want to know where this stooge stands.

Luckily, we Texans don't have to endure any more Ron Paul commercials. You know the ones, the ones where he conveniently forgets to mention his tuck-tail stance on foreign issues because his audience is Texas.

[Xenalyte]

Ever notice how much Magneto looks like Gandalf?

[SJackson]

He's still looking for that Time cover. Not to compare his actual achievements to Stassen's, simply the windmill jousting.

Who's the ONE and ONLY rep to vote AGAINST a resolution condemning the rocket attacks on Israel?

Now now, let's congratulate the good Doctor! After all, he at least had more BALLS to publicly state his anti-semitic views, as compared to Seattle's own "Baghdad" Jim McDermott who stands by Paul ideologically on this issue, but didn't have the courage to vote other than "PRESENT"...

"Ahh, a goosestepper with a lifetime 82 rating from the ACU."

Does the ACU take into account that Ron Paul is a blame America firster, frequents Truther radio shows, wants to shrink the US military to one submarine, and echoes Al Qaeda propaganda?

Hell, he gives goose steppers a bad name.

Who actually wrote that piece, and what’s his FReeper handle?

Interesting to note that so many complain that McCain is a Democrat Liberal and that Ron Paul is an ultra conservative, especially given that John McCain has the exact same rating as Ron Paul

[oblomov]

Probably off campaigning somewhere, I have no idea. I’ve never had any illusions about Paul. I simply think that what Albert Jay Nock called “the remnant” is an essential part of the right, even though I do not agree with Paul on every issue.

It’s good that Peden has a role somewhere. I have no problem with him.

It just goes to show my father's wisdom: Figures never lie, but liars figure.

[Womp Rat]

I’m glad he’s still in. Without him, there would have been nobody left worth voting for, and I sure as heck was not going to be a nutjob and vote for Hillary.

[Cyclone Conservative]

Ron Paul says and does alot more right than wrong. Obviously there are a lot of neocons who think differently.

[West Coast Conservative]

Yep.

The House voted 404-1 condemning the rocket attacks against Israel.

[mnehring]

Chris is a good guy with a very good, Conservative record. It was sad how he was demonized as a ‘neocon fascist’ by many of his supporters. The threats and harassment he and his family received were unacceptable. He actually sent his kids off to stay with his parents during the campaign because of the threats.

[green iguana]

I know where the guy stands. Paulistinian... Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa! You’re funny.

You do know that his anti-Israeli votes are a reflection of his foreign policy beliefs (misguided as they are) and not indicative of a dislike for Israel don’t you? Ah - thought not.

You should read the things at your links before you send them out - a lot of solidly conservative beliefs there for Dr. Paul. And some admittedly nutty ones too.

[mnehring]

I just looked it up, it is roll call vote #93.

If memory serves me correctly, Paul did vote a condemnation of Israel when they retaliated against Lebanon last year (resolution failed).. I’ll go look that up.

[Larebil]

This guy would be a disaster nationaly.

He is an isolationist whose mindset is still stuck in the 1800s.

We are not protected by the ocean anymore.
Tha fact that he has truthers and leftists like kucinich supporting him is disturbing.
His followers are the angry face in the crowd and the government conspiracy types.
The fact that he is barely a blip on the radar means that there is still some sanity left.

[mnehring]

I think at this point, it is all moot. 90% to 95% of Republican Primary voters looked at Paul’s record, listened to what he said, and didn’t buy it.

[green iguana]

Not disagreeing with you there. But calling him a goosestepper is way off the mark.

BTW, I supported either Thompson or Hunter... we know how that turned out.
