RonPaultards for The ZOT Nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supreme One]

...I thought Huntsman would be my ideal candidate. And indeed, his tax reform proposals--modeled on Bowles-Simpson--are dead-on....

On foreign policy, Huntsman also favors a more realist correction to neocon excess, and would build on Obama's remarkable successes.... And his sanity on climate change--certainty that it is man-made but real skepticism about how to tackle it--is, in my view, the conservative position. And, almost alone among the Republicans, he acknowledges that gay people exist and that our committed relationships merit recognition in the law.

So why not Huntsman? The sad truth is: he simply hasn't connected with the voters, generates little enthusiasm, and has run a mediocre campaign....

Which brings me to Ron Paul. Let me immediately say I do not support many of his nuttier policy proposals. I am not a doctrinaire libertarian. Paul's campaign for greater oversight of the Fed is great, but abolition of it is utopian and dangerous.... There are times when he is rightly described as a crank....

But all this is why a conservative like me is for Obama. What we are talking about here is who to support in a primary dominated by extremes, resentment, absence of ideas and Obama-hatred.

And I see in Paul none of the resentment that burns in Gingrich or the fakeness that defines Romney or the fascistic strains in Perry's buffoonery.... He has now gone through two primary elections without compromising an inch of his character or his philosophy.... He is, in other words, a decent fellow, and that's an adjective I don't use lightly. We need more decency among Republicans.

The constant refrain on Fox News that this man has "zero chance" of being the nominee is a propagandistic lie....

[Supreme One]

I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion, but he has an excellent point about the need for decency -- integrity and civility have been distressingly rare in the GOP of late.

But no guts. He’s a whiner.

[SkyDancer]

Sorry for the double post. There’s a storm coming and the power glitched.

[Antoninus]

Yeah, I'll listen go the guy who invented homosexual "marriage."

Pass.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

He’s a stoned, whining, racist “truther”.

[Antoninus]

These guys say, vote for Ron Paul.

[dmartin]

and would build on Obama's remarkable successes....

No need to read past this point in the article. The author is an idiot.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

>>homosexual “marriage.”<<

Oh yeah, and that too.

[digger48]

No need to read past this point in the article. The author is an idiot.

That's why I saw no need to read past the authors name, Andrew Sullivan

[Logical me]

If Ron Paul makes the nomination I am leaving the GOP and help with the start of a third party. I would rather have King Obama President as long as we can take the Senate. King Obama would be on vacation the entire second term. After all with the dropping of 5 trillion this term what the hell would a trillion more for vacations expense hurt us. Damn I'm pissed.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

IBTZ..........

[Drill Thrawl]

But all this is why a conservative like me is for Obama.

The very definition of non-sequitor.

[Toespi]

“I would rather have King Obama President”

If Paul wins the nomination, we would have Obama for another four.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Please let us play with this one for a while...That is if it ever responds again.

[MindBender26]

More than anything else, Paul is a complete fraud and liar.

[InterceptPoint]

And his sanity on climate change--certainty that it is man-made but real skepticism about how to tackle it--is, in my view, the conservative position.

Nope.

Conservatives don't support obvious scams. Read the science and you will never be able to support the idea that there is man-made Global Warming of the planet that is not dwarfed by natural phenomenon.

[dmartin]

Andrew Sullivan has been supporting Obama since the last election. This support has paid dividends.

[Supreme One]

Now, see, this is what I mean about lack of civility...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The GOP and Tokyo Rove will give us Romney, but Obama will trounce Romney, because the Paultards with either go turd party, or vote for Obama.
