I also wonder if he is a cultist. Some people of his political stripe believe that our public school history books deliberately lie to us about our history. I want to know if RP agrees with that; if he does, I want to know who he thinks is behind the lies. [/quote] |

OK, is this where we start with the ad hominems? Sorry, but I won't descend to that level.
If you want to respond to any of the facts I present, I'll be happy to discuss them. |

Is that so?
What do you know about recent Republican-Party registration activity and the motives of those who have done so? Explain. |
What I know is from numerous people who have said so on their youtube videos and comments. I haven't seen anyone saying this for any other candidate. |

Paul Shaping Up As Spoiler In GOP Race
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
Thu Dec 20, 5:56 PM ET
CONCORD, N.H. - It wasn't long ago that Rep. Ron Paul was an anti-war asterisk in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Then his campaign raised a record $6 million in a single day.
Now the libertarian-leaning Texas congressman is looking like a possible spoiler, with an eclectic, tech-savvy following and an astounding $18 million in donations raised in less than three months.
"It's sort of gotten out of control. I don't know what to do about it," he told one audience recently in mock frustration.
At the current rate, it is some of his better known rivals who might have cause for concern. Polls give no indication that Paul can win any primaries or caucuses. But his appeal to independents, in particular, could make a difference in contests in New Hampshire, which votes on Jan. 8, or in Michigan, where a primary is scheduled one week later.

The Republicans shouldn't vote for him. That way, he'll lose the nomination, run as an independent candidate, and steal votes from people who would have otherwise voted Democrat.
Then, they can have Mike Huckabee in office. They really just want someone who's gonna beat the Bible to death, anyway. |

Replace one bat-shit crazy guy with another.
It'd be the Reagan era all over again. |

That is right, Igotthisguitar: a spoiler. That is the best he can become, provided he resigns from the Republicans and runs Independent.
I heard a radio ad in Nevada last night. Ron Paul trying to whip up Nevadans over federal nuclear waste programs. Listening to him talk on that ad convinced me he is just another populist.
But in any case, the best part was when others at the Christmas party looked at me incredulously, asking, quote, why I would want to listen to anything that lunatic had to say. These were mostly dispassionate, middle-of-the-road people politically-speaking, by the way.
Could not have been more pleased. |

The fact that some hard core Democrats don't like any Republican, let alone Ron Paul is irrelevant. (After all, if they like FDR, who was a fascist, they could never support a candidate who believes in liberty, which is the opposite of what FDR stood for.)
Meanwhile, whether as a Republican or an Independent, some names are starting to surface as possible Ron Paul runningmates:
Walter Williams
John Stossel |

FDR a fascist who stood for the opposite of liberty?

socialist security: destroys 200 million jobs worldwide and bankrupts country impoverishes the world creating proverty, instability and war for decades
steals gold from citizens
devalues currency takes major step toward total destruction of the dollar
turns recession into Great Depression
creates huge programs that continue to grow and bankrupt America
turns boatloads of Jewish refugees away from America (anti semite)
prolongs the depression with isolationist trade policies
tries to control wages and prices also prolonging depression
FDR roused the masses with his voice. Too bad they ignored his words and didn't understand the evil in his deeds.
hmmm ... Hitler used the same technique ...
Gopher, it's you who are out of touch, and 70 years behing the times ... |

Actually, I'm pretty anti-FDR myself.
But ontheway just compared him to Hitler.
Wrap this thread up, because its done. |
