A wider electorate? Hippies and OWS protestors are that influential? Didn’t know that.
They may not be "influential," but they do vote.
You think Paul is the best candidate we have? Please educate us on why you think that? Does his pro-dope and pro-prostitution values appeal to your liberal nature?
I explicitly stated that my candidate is and was Palin. I do believe that if we want to stop Romney, Paul is the best we've got at the moment.
I also know that the primary objection to Libertarianism is its basis in atheism. Since Dr. Paul is NOT an atheist, he is not a "true Libertarian," but holds with some of their views.
If being open-minded, willing to look at the facts myself and not be swayed by what "they" say, knowing that the Declaration and Constitution are grossly misunderstood today, then perhaps I am a "liberal." However, I've considered myself a Conservative since the early 1960's when I first attended a Christian Anti-Communist Crusade meeting to hear Dr. Fred Schwarz. I read and digested Chamber's Witness at the age of 14. Truly, I am a conservative.
You seem to be hung up on your misinformed ideas about the 10th amendment. Does that mean - like RoPaul (sic) - you support abortion as a states rights issue?
Like Ron Paul, I know that the 10th amendment states the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. I fail to see how I am misinformed. I hate, loathe and abominate even the concept of abortion.
Are you a truther like Paul?
I do have questions about where BO was born, why his birth certificate and other documents are not available. If that makes me a "birther," then so be it.
Do you also hate the military and want queers to openly serve.
I love the military, and so does Ron Paul. I pray for homosexuals, that they may find peace with God. I do not believe they should serve in the military at all.
9/11 was an inside job, huh?
I do not believe 9/ll was an inside job. Did Ron Paul state that he did, unequivocally?
You like government pork? Paul sure does.
Please specify the projects Dr. Paul voted for and give his explanations for so doing. Ron Paul is undoubtedly the most fiscally conservative Congressman to serve for the last 20 years.
Let me guess... You’re a bigot too.
No, let me guess. Your use of such obvious attacks proves that you're an Alinskyite.
Look my liberal FRiend, I could go on and on all day knocking down the irrational reasons why you support Paul.
To repeat, I may be a liberal, but I'm not a socialist or communist or even a supporter of BO or Romney. I didn't know we were friends, do you treat all those you care about like this? What, precisely, have you "knocked down" -- all those straw men you've thrown up? I've not been irrational in anything I've written. Such a shame, I can't say the same about you.
But may I remind you that this is a conservative forum and for you to come here with you support for liberal trash is zot-worthy?
I've been coming to FR since 1998. My register date is April 11, 1999. I probably know more about the site than you do. And I really don't think Jim would zot me for expressing my honest views and asking rational questions. Why do you?
(blushing) Thank you. I do pride myself on being amazing.
To repeat, I may be a liberal...
lolololol
There really is anything more to say, huh?
Good post. Thanks for posting it.
I do think you are on to something, pegging Responsibility2nd as an Alinskyite. He certainly seems to have those tactics down well. Sad that he uses them so fiercely against any conservative that would dare suggest Ron Paul is a less evil choice than Romney.
The Primary has not come to California yet. When it does on June 5th, it looks like my Republican Candidate choices will be down to only Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.
Electing Romney will seal the deal for the Rino Republican Elite for probably the remainder of my lifetime. Conservative influence over the Republican party will then have been quite effectively neutered.
Still being a voter of the Anybody but Obama and Anybody but Romney persuasion, and no longer having the option of Palin, Cain, Santorum, Bachman or Gingrich, etc. I will grit my teeth and vote for the last non Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Statist Republican candidate standing, warts, flaws and all. (Not Romney)
This nation’s worst enemies are not Obama or Romney. They are the people that would vote for Socialism/Marxism/Fascism/State-ism over our Constitution.
In my opinion, a great many Romney Primary voters, knowingly or otherwise, fall into this category.
Romney as the presumptive nominee shows that our electorate has yet to learn from the mistake that Obama represents.
In the General, I think it likely that Romney will name a non Natural Born citizen to the VP slot, to provide ongoing cover for Obama. He won’t get my vote then, either, although I can and do understand the temptation to perceive Romney as the lesser evil Compared to Obama. (or as simply a chance to get in a few more years of preparation before the SH** finally Hits The Fans that both of these candidates have steered us towards their entire political careers.)
And no, Responsibility2nd, I too am not and never have been a 911 Truther, Pro-Abortion, Anti Military, Gay Agenda supporting, Drug Legalization supporting Paul-bot.
I AM an Anti-Socialism, Anti-Marxism, Anti-Fascism, Anti-State-ism, Pro Limited Government, Pro US Constitution voter.
Jim declared a truce. Perhaps it’s time to give the Alinsky tactics against those who love the Constitution at least as much as you do, a rest.
