"You see, Ron Paul actually wants the USA to follow the Constitution as it was written, so he’s a POS. ??????"

My my you do like those question marks don't you?
First of all I was the one who called "Doctor Paul" a POS, not GoldStandard. So if you're going to refer to my statement you need to give me a courtesy ping.

Secondly it's easy to claim I and the FReepers who don't like "Doctor Paul" do so because he "only wants to follow the Constitution". I guess it's a lot easier to claim that than to deal with his past history of anti-Israeli sentiment, of being glad that the Democrats were the controlling majority and of being a 9/11 truther. All things that of course have something to do with "following the Constitution".

You have some valid arguments but take them way too far. Ron Paul could be more aggressive in criticizing Democrats instead of just criticizing general ideas, but I doubt he is happy about the Democrats being in charge and their socialism.

His foreign policy, for right or for wrong, is consistent and doesn't have anything to do with him being anti-Israel. It would be a valid argument to say his foreign policy is dangerous because it treats both Israel and Iran the same, for example. But to say he hates Israel has no basis in fact.

If you care so much about Israel, then go over there and join their Army and fight for them.
