New Hampshire and the NE can go get blanked
I’m what I’m saying is the root of the reason why so many people like Paul, Libertarians, etc... is because the Republican Party has gone too far to the left. THAT is the real issue. So they support people that want to go radically to the right to slow down America’s drift to Socialism.
It’s kind of like when you go into a debate... If you know where you really want to be... Then you go to an extreme so you can compromise to get to where you really want to be.
If you start where you really want to be, then you are going to slowly go to their side incrementally over time. That is what is happening now in our country and why we are drifting to Socialism.
If you want to compare anyone to McCain, it is Hartman. Did you hear him speak in Chinese?
Romney is a Socialist. That is all you need to know.
Any man that allows a Socialized Health Care like he did in Massachusetts is a Socialist plain and simple.
Why can't we debate the issues, themselves--and the questions of the effectiveness of candidates on those issues, which is a different subject;--in a polite manner, so that we do not leave unnecessary wounds that will help no one who really cares about the future?

“So to directly answer your question of “will you support Ron Paul” if he wins the nomination: HELL NO.”
Well, thank you for a direct answer! Let me follow it with another: Is there any amount of evidence or logical reasoning that might change your mind?
Now I will give you a direct answer to your Yes/No question:
Yes, I support Ron Paul. No, I don’t agree with him 100 percent on all of his views, but neither do I agree 100 percent with any of the other candidates. But I agree with enough of his views to support him, and on the issues where I disagree, I’m willing to listen to the other side and to discuss the differences. I’m not insisting on 100 percent perfection, in other words. That seems to me to be a reasonable position.
What are those differences? Well, you mentioned his support of Israel and his position on Iran and nuclear weapons. I agree that those are acceptable objections, but I have also listened to Paul’s answers to them, and I think that his explanations are not as unreasonable as they have been presented in the press, nor as simplistic as those think who have not given careful consideration of them.
Does that make me a “Paultard”? I still don’t know what a “Paultard” is unless it is defined as anyone who tainted by any contact of any amount or degree with Ron Paul’s ideas.
If one insists on 100 percent agreement, and would rather have another four years of the current president rather than accept a candidate with only 80 percent agreement,
then the answer to my question is obvious:
Q: Is there any amount of evidence or logical reasoning that might change one’s mind?
A: Hell, no. I’d rather have Obama for four more years than have Ron Paul with whom I only agree with 80 or so percent of the time! As Wittaker Chambers once observed: “The open mind is always closed on one end.”
OK and I agree
Ron Paul has publically said that the CIA has accomplished a coup against America and needs to be taken out:

A direct quote from this conference is as such:
(January 20, 2010) House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”
Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said: “There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries...”
And here is one prominant website that supports the 9/11 conspiracy theories, calling for a RON PAUL PROVISIONAL ARMY to take over after we investigate the 9/11 events:

Just to be clear. You called me a sicko first.
Secondly, the topic of bestiality never crosses my mind and has never been brought up in ANY conversation I’ve had in my entire life.
To me it’s sick that you’re obsessed with it.
On a related topic, I also think our debt crisis is more sickening than martians probing one-eyed dwarfs.
It is hard to believe this guy has gotten so many primary votes thus far. Weird s**t is happening.
it is the absolute lack of morality our nation is experiencing
we would be voting in the republicans we do if we knew right from wrong, nor would people mistake the lunacy from ron paul as a solution, either.
you’re right I do think you are a sicko because you think spending into debt is less sick than having sex with animals in front of kids and I still stand by that and I would never allow you near my kids for sure.
These people who support Paul not all but a couple have showed that they care more about spending than sex in public with animals.
They are more left than liberals and IMHO they are sick freaks.

Hartman?
I see Paul signs everywhere locally no one else just Paul signs and wacko kids in the street with Paul signs.I think they were funded by Soros Obama.The same thing happened in 08.It is an alinsky trick a wacko with reform.I no longer have respect for Rand Paul if he takes this Soros funded baton.
Paul has said he does not expect to win.
Last weekend he said he was the true Democrat running and he has tried to run now 3 times
Either he is a stooge, or a confused frail old man or both but when you look at his record of only passing one bill in all those years then one has to ask WTH is and has he been doing.
Ron Paul is not conservative, not “right wing”. He is a combo anarchist/leftist.
Open primaries. Dems and Independents voting. Probably people bussed in from elsewhere too.
“He is a combo anarchist/leftist”
That is an oxymoron ...
Anarchy:
1. a state of society without government or law.
2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy.
Anarchy or Anarchist are as far right as you can go and not leftist.
At any rate I disagree with your statement. So you like big government and you like to invade countries. That is not about freedom at all.
