The RuPaulistas are like bedbugs in the mattress of Free Republic, and need to be fumigated!
I usually enjoy your posts. Your statement above does little to maintain the quality of Free Republic. Why do you have to resort to insults for other FR posters who back a different Republican candidate?

I call it as I see it, and the RuPaulistas are exactly as I described them and I stand by my post.

Sarah Palin was my initial choice, but since she decided not to run, I am now considering Cain and Paul. As I look into their positions, I try to see how their positions line up with the Constitution.

Oh Ron Paul is the man when it comes to the Constitution, although it's the Constitution of 1901.

Right now, I love Cain’s character and leadership. Man, can that man give powerful speeches! I do not, however, want a new area that the Federal Govt can tax. I think it was @ FR that someone posted 9+9+9 + 5yrs= 20+20+20 Another thing that concerns me is when he said he would appoint Volker to head the Fed Reserve.

I'm not here to defend 9-9-9, do the research and then ask yourself why the founder of the Laffer Curve (which is what Reaganomics was based on) has endorsed '9-9-9'. As for who he would appoint to head up the Federal Reserve, that train hasn't even pulled into the station yet, let alone blown the whistle to leave the station.

With Ron Paul, I love his economic positions.

Do you love that 214 million dollar earmark he voted for back in June that benefited what is commonly referred to as 'Big Pharma'?

I am trying to further understand his position with respect to foreign affairs. At first it seems ridiculous. Yet, we do seem to be in so many countries fighting so many wars, with unclear reasons/justifications in many (but not all) instances.

Ron Paul is an apologist for the Iranian mullahs, and had he been President in 2001, it is questionable that we would have gone into Afghanistan without a formal declaration of war, and Saddam Hussein would still be in power and sending President Paul Ramadan Cards each December.

I imagine we would be much better than Obama with either candidate. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to insult other FReepers who hold differing views.

I wasn’t aware that we had a different Constitution than in 1901 and I don’t believe in a “living constitution”, like liberals.

I am aware of the Laffer Curve. Without a repeal of the 16th, replaced with a permanent “9-9-9” amendment, it would be an “open door” to corrupt politicians for a 20-20-20 plan.

>>Do you love that 214 million dollar earmark he voted for back in June that benefited what is commonly referred to as ‘Big Pharma’?<<

Well, actually, yes, I do. If Ron Paul did not earmark that money, it would have defaulted to Obama to spend as he please. I thought this topic had been thoroughly discussed already, so I am puzzled as to why this half-truths keep being posted about earmarks.

Well, it is my belief that, in general, it is easy to throw insults. It takes more thought and energy to formulate substantive thought and communicate those thoughts with non-insulting words. This is, after all, Free Republic and not DU.
