You get the idea.

Well, see, it’s okay when Ron Paul does it, because, because clearly he and only he is in touch with what the framers wanted.

By the way, can anybody tell me what’s up with the Ron Paul eEVOLution (with the backward “LOVE” emphasized)? What is this? Peace, love, and Ron Paul? Isn’t he, you know, conservative?

I love how you put words into his mouth and do not let him or his supporters speak for themselves. Ron Paul is the true inheritor of Goldwater and Reagan’s libertarian mantle.
I challenge you to read or watch Reagan’s 1964 speech endorsing Barry Goldwater, which is
available at http://www.reaganfoundation.org/reagan/speeches/rendezvous.asp or http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4770988975023965161 and tell me that Ron Paul is just a ‘pseudo-libertarian,’ as his views echo his predecessors. I urge you to do a little more research on the subject.

Of course, that would take a little more effort than your stream of consciousness blathering.

Thanks! I think one of those RP supporters must have broadcast this post to one of their lists or something, because the comments are much higher than average around here. And, this doesn’t count about 20 comments I deleted simply because I didn’t think people calling me a “motherf***er,” “dips**t,” “commie” without actually having anything whatsoever else to say were particularly constructive.

That said, you hit the nail on the head on this one. I find it hilarious that a man who bemoans the overextension of executive power under the Bush administration would propose such drastic changes without stopping for a second to consider that practically NONE of the changes he’s proposing can be brought about without Congress. Last time I checked, the libertarian party didn’t have too many seats in that particular branch of government (or any other one). Thus, Ron Paul would most likely become the most useless president since Warren G Harding.

Also, I think that possibly the only positive thing to come from a Paul candidacy would be the resurgence of some of the not-so-wacko CIVIL libertarian philosophy that used to be prevelant in the GOP.

What’s that sound? It’s the sound of someone scaring themselves silly. Here’s another example: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” - C. Little
Here’s an amazing example: “Ron Paul is so constitutionally selective he can make your neighbor’s cat and only your neighbor’s cat totally unconstitutional just by saying so, raising online contributions, and having his supporters agree with him.” Holy cow, my neighbor’s cat?! Who knew? If my neighbor had a cat, and I was an authoritarian, I might be tempted to try that.
Mr. Leibowitz, I gotta hand it to you, this is the funniest stuff I’ve read all day.

The middle class? Abolishing the federal reserve and returning to a sound currency backed by gold will be the best thing we can do for the middle class.

So, abolishing overtime protections, which Ron Paul voted to do, is good for the middle class?

And how about that voting record of “impeccable integrity,” as you say? He voted to allow indicted leadership members to continue serving and also voted to weaken House ethics provisions. You call that integrity? You can’t be serious.

Dr Paul has a 30 yr record for you to research.

I reply:

Have you actually researched Ron Paul’s real record? Have you taken the time to examine all of his votes in Congress? Are you aware that he’s rarely cast a pro-consumer vote in his entire tenure in Washington?

Are you aware that he is so out of touch with his own district that people down there are breathing a sigh of relief in hopes he won’t be running for re-election this cycle?

Did you also know that Ron Paul took money from the very corrupt politicos you Paul supporters are against? He’s taken thousands from Tom DeLay’s Americans for a Republican Majority PAC, over $42,000 from the oil industry, and voted to allow indicted House leadership members to consider serving in their leadership positions!

Ron Paul is not, as you say, “CHANGE.” Rather, he is more of the same corrupt Republican cronyism of the Tom DeLay era.

Do your homework buddy and stop being such a commie. There are NO other acceptable candidates. Most of them, esp. Hillary, are criminals. How we let these fringe elements even get that far is what is truly FRIGHTENING.

It amuses me that you think Hillary Clinton, et al are “fringe elements.” Ninety percent of the population thinks that Ron Paul is the fringe element.

I believe the psychos like Clinton, Obama, Giuliani and Romney who would continue torture and throw us pell-mell into a nuclear confrontation with Iran are the radicals.

I reply:

Think what you will, but there would be chaos in the streets with Ron Paul, because he’d essentially dismantle most of the federal government.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who will end the war in Iraq, the mindless killing, and pull the plug on our imperialist foreign policy. Frightening indeed.

I know his voting record well–it is precisely why I support him–he has a record of impeccable integrity. The middle class? Abolishing the federal reserve and returning to a sound currency backed by gold will be the best thing we can do for the middle class. Beyond that, I say the Constitution is more important than class divisions–even though I know Karl Marx, and Hillary Clinton, (and the other so-called Republicans) may disagree.

I am now supporting Dr. Paul with my wallet and my heart, and many of my colleagues are sold on him too.

I’m a 35 year teacher and would LOVE the feds to get out of education since they do NOTHING to help it.

Frightening? The only thing that is frightening is the surge in socialism this country’s citizens seem to have accepted.

Ron Paul is the best thing to ever happen to this country. He has educated more people on why the FedRes is illegal, and so is the IRS.

Rock on Ron, he is gaining steam by the day.

Do your homework buddy and stop being such a commie. There are NO other acceptable candidates. Most of them, esp. Hillary, are criminals. How we let these fringe elements even get that far is what is truly FRIGHTENING.

Ron Paul is not so radical as you seem to think. I believe the psychos like Clinton, Obama, Giuliani and Romney who would continue torture and throw us pell-mell into a nuclear confrontation with Iran are the radicals.
