Ron Paul’s liberty will give us death

I have never before, I am not now, nor will I ever read an article about Paul that is that darn long.

I think the guy is funny, likable in some ways and I might enjoy having lunch with him, if he bought, but that’s about all I could take of his craziness.

As for the straw poll... he’s right to be a bit upset, in that it was a virtual tie with only 152 votes separating him and Bachmann.

I can see how his supporters might be a bit upset in seeing Bachmann getting all of the media attention, while ignoring him. I think it would upset me if I supported him.

I do hope his supporters pass this clot and that Paul feels whole real soon, as we have much more important things going on.

No, I think "apprehend" is OK in this context:

ap·pre·hend
   [ap-ri-hend]
verb (used with object)
1.
to take into custody; arrest by legal warrant or authority: The police apprehended the burglars.
2.
to grasp the meaning of; understand, especially intuitively; perceive.
3.
to expect with anxiety, suspicion, or fear; anticipate: apprehending violence.
verb (used without object)
4.
to understand.
5.
to be apprehensive,  suspicious, or fearful; fear.

Do you mean like the FReepers who express contempt for Cain, or Palin, or Bachamann, or any other candidates because of aspects they disagree with?

---

I’m talking about those who pretend their opponents are mentally ill or senile (Alinsky would be proud) as opposed to the usual gutter politics. It has been true well before any electoral campaign.

Those Freepers drive me closer to Paul, and away from the GOP and its “Dem Lite” candidates.

WHY? is the federal reserve NOT audited..?...
What are they doing with the TRILLIONS sent to them?..
Why is it such a mystery?.. Corruption?.. Theft?.. Ponzi-scheme?..

Ron Paul has has finger on Americas problem!!...
He is over target getting way too much Flak!!..
-OR- just enough FLAK.. because is over target..

[Atlas Sneezed]

Even though he may be a fine fellow in general, to many of his ideas are lunacy.

---

When you sober up, you might want to write that comprehensibly.

And perhaps acknowledge the multitude of his principles that conservatives agree with.

[svcw]

WOW, what conservative principles are those, oh swami.

[svcw]

If you are driven closer to Paul because people criticize him and away from the GOP - just say it. Be a proud libertarian. Paul has lunatic foreign policies ideas and he is an anti-Semitic but other than that his ideas are fine (roll eyes).

[JOPO]

Vote Paul; Elect Obama.

[mnehring]

Ron Paul has has finger on Americas problem!!..

You mean the Fed problem, you know, the one that he is in the catbird seat now to do something about with his committee chairmanship and hasn't done jack other than sabotage his own 'audit' movement. He is in the best position now to go after the Fed and he is blowing it.

The same ones that led Reagan to state the libertarianism is the heart and soul of conservatism. If you’re unaware, maybe you should stop mouthing off, and learn about liberty.

Start with our nation’s founding.

[svcw]

Huh? I do not remember Reagan being anti-Semitic or having lunatic foreign policies ideas or saying that he was opposed to ear marks then voting for shrimp ear marks, or the legalization of drugs or a bunch of other things. Name what policies Paul has that are conservative and not libertarian.
Paul himself says he is not a Republican, he says he is a libertarian.

[Allegra]

Those Freepers who express contempt for him because of the aspects they disagree with disgust me.

{GASP!} How DARE any FReepers express an opinion of Ron Paul that is less than glowing? That conveys anything less than perfection upon the sainted Ron Paul? Sacrilege!

Seriously, are there any candidates who are not held in contempt by some FReepers for some of the aspects of their ideologies?

C'mon...

[upchuck]

I was thinking the author meant comprehend.

[Shimmer1]

ping for later

You must agree with Obama, attacking Libya is really a good idea. So we give money 7 to 1 to Israel’s Enemy’s, Ron Paul says that’s a waste of our money and distorts reality and he’s the anti-Semite. How many American soldiers must walk into battle to defend Israel when at every point in Israel’s short history, she has defender herself with great skill and valour.

Why do neo-cons and communists insist on their interventionist wars of democratic world conquest for the American Empire, wouldn’t being a good example to the world of a peaceful and prosperous nation be best.

When did our fore-father advocate a policy of interventionism and Nation Building, it’s bad foreign policy and is bankrupting the nation. Suffice it to say whether Obama, Perry, Palin, Romney, or Paul are elected, the America as an Empire is near and end, we simply cannot afford it anymore!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Who wrote this? Ben Bernanke’s lawyer? :)

Your straw-man rhetoric is pathetic. I referred to “contempt” and gave examples.

Come back when you read the posts.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Why do you anti-Paul loonies have to pretend that the person you are addressing said something he didn’t?

You’re worse than Democrats.

[Allegra]

That's what I love about Paul threads. The Paultards are such friendly, polite people and have such great senses of humor.

Yeah.. how bout that... if he is a shill to hamper the investigation.. it should come out.. AND OTHERS pick up the slack..

UNLESS there is (guard my mouth) there is a conspiracy in Washington D.C. to NOT AUDIT THE FED...

Then Ron Paul would/could be "outted" as a federal reserve shill...
with Libertarians falling on their swords and committing "Hari Kari" all over the place..
The entertainment value would precious... BUT the deed would still remain UNDONE...
