Until I heard it straight from Paul's mouth, it's political smear as far as I'm concerned.
I don't agree with everything Paul supports, but he is the closest candidate to a true constitutionalists.
Paul, regardless of all the nutball comments, is an accomplished individual. Served in the armed services, attended college and became a doctor, then has served ten terms in the congress.
He has been the most consistent representative on record with regards to fiscal policy.
Say what you will about Ron Paul, he is principled, consistent and conservative.
I don’t think you should trust “accomplished individuals” who make “nutball comments” with nuclear devices. I don’t think people who want to erase entire countries for fiscal reasons are actually conservative, and even if they are, I live in the country he would rather not have around. I view his fiscal conservatism the way I view that crazed gunman who was obsessed with proper grammar. I like proper grammar, too. I also like fiscal conservatism. But I wouldn’t vote for a crazy person if I were you.
I'm not sure this is true, but I do know that the last thing the Republican party, and some here on FR, want is a candidate who is a principled, consistent conservative.
“Say what you will about Ron Paul, he is principled, consistent and conservative.”
Now, now. Don’t go using logic. The idea of these threads is to see who can howl the loudest that Ron Paul is CRAZY!! ANTISEMITIC!! RACIST!! UNRELIABLE!! NAIVE!!
That he would likely cut the scope and breadth of government by more than any other candidate running for the gop nomination never enters into the equation.
“Served in the armed services, attended college and became a doctor”
So did Nidal Hasan.
And sorry, but Ron Paul is NOT a conservative. The difference is explained very well and plainly in the article below. (Included is a photo of him and Stormfront friends.) Try to look past the title and at least check it out:
