Damn Ron Paul is the only sane voice in this group

[malaise]

of raving warmongers. I swear.

[soothsayer]

1. I totally like that guy.

[Warpy]

30. That means you need to do more research

Paul is a libertarian who believes in complete deregulation of all corporations, the abolition of Social Security and Medicare, the abolition of all regulatory agencies overseeing food and medication safety, the abolition of all social spending.

He is also a rabid antichoicer.

The more you know about Ron Paul, the crazier he looks.

That he's right on this war is pure coincidence.

[Snarkturian Clone]

32. You just described most of the other repuke candidates as well.

If it's got to be ONE of those whackjobs, let it be Paul. Repukes will be divided if he gets the nomination and we'll win. If he wins, you'll get the same as all the other repukes except the war will end.


edited to add: he may be a racist sexist homophobe but at least he tells you upfront. Compared to the other repukes, he's Judge friggin Reinhold.

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. Thank you! Ron Paul is NOT someone we want to be prez!

:scared:

[devilgrrl]

44. Say, do you have link with a nice break down like that?

Someone I know keeps inundating me with pro-Paul b.s. and I'd like to set him straight.

[Warpy]

45. I'd try his campaign site first

and then throw in choice bits from the Libertarian Party site.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. He said Read The Constitution! eom

[sabra]

3. and receives the biggest applause...

[AllegroRondo]

4. which is why they'll never nominate him

[TheDebbieDee]

5. And he's a racist, isn't he?

[gateley]

8. is he? I never got that impression - how do you know that? Thanks. nt

[TheDebbieDee]

36. He's a big supporter and booster of state's rights.....

with regard to passing legislation in states that would override conflicting federal laws.

That would include legislation intended to rollback civil rights with regards African-Americans, women or any other issue a powerful group of narrowminded people could bring to the floor........

I realize I'm painting with a very broad brush, but my GUT tells me that Ron Paul believes that United States exists to serve the interests of European-Americans.

[gateley]

40. You may be right. If so, I reckon we'll hear about it if he becomes a threat in the race. nt

[AspenRose]

6. That's why "they" want him silenced

eom

[Solly Mack]

7. I'm listening and they are all so boring

and the kicker is, they actually think they're making a point

[malaise]

18. They frighten me

they're madmen with no regard for social rights or the constitution.

[Solly Mack]

24. They are scary. And I don't want them anywhere near government

but they say the same things over and over again - and it's just as crazy the first time they say it as every other time...and I'm amazed that their supporters hear anything else but blather.

I know it's a winning tactic...constant repetition ...but I'm the kind of person that if you're going to lie to me or blow smoke up my ass, make it good..original..creative. Not gonna believe you but at least it's new

I listen for things not said...which to my thinking, says more than what they do say....

[Horse with no Name]

9. He has a billboard not to far from my house

if I can get to it to get a good picture, I will try it.
However....it says "REVOLUTION" ...with the letters "EVOL" in red (LOVE backwards)...

[malaise]

17. Please try n/t

[gateley]

10. He has a lot of good points on many issues, and some that I find a tad scary. nt

[book_worm]

11. yeah he just wants to end legalized abortion and any kind of safety net for the poor

and make Social Security voluntary.

[Whisp]

26. scarey dude, for sure.

his sound bytes may give him the appearance of sounding reasonable, but dig deeper and he ain't no friend of the people.

[gateley]

41. I think - could be wrong - he feels abortion isn't a Federal issue, but rather a

state issue. I know he PERSONALLY opposes abortion, though.

I'm not sure I'd disagree with having Social Security be voluntary. Mandatory IS another example of the government taking away our free choice. I'd have to think about it.

[maxsolomon]

12. too bad the rest of his platform is libertarian krazee.

:crazy:

i agree with pat buchanan sometimes, too. he's still a fascist.

[mmonk]

13. He may be sane and know what a constitution is

but that is where it ends. He believes in the Libertarian free for all battle of the fittest doctrine.

[VP505]

14. Paul sure as

hell gets it where war, Iraq and Iran is concerned. Unfortunately he is just too far right on most of the rest of the important stuff.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. he is a sexist-homophobic-elitist right wing nut. nt

[malaise]

16. And he's still saner than the rest of these right wing

warmongering lunatic Rethugs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. well he is consistent in his ideology and hence seems less fake

theres that to be said about him

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. well he is consistent in his ideology and hence seems less fake

theres that to be said about him

[kimmerspixelated]

27. I know!

But still there is admiration for the underdog in him! Ron Paul is to the rethugs what Gravel is to our party, except that Gravel has GOOD ideas- meaning... for the people!

[high density]

21. Which is pretty bad, because he's still quite insane! NM

[RevolutionStartsNow]

22. He may be right on the war, but he's a racist wacko. Read up!

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/15/124912/740

[malaise]

25. They all are

but at least he's genuinely anti-war. Not one of them is winning the WH anyway.

[Initech]

23. He is a wacko, but after Bush, I 'm starting to think a wacko is just what we need.

[DuaneBidoux]

28. Obviously you've never heard him on a non-war issue.

[LeftishBrit]

29. Sane???

None of them's sane, including him. They're just insane on different issues!

[DrDan]

31. I agree - he seems to actually believe in what he says - rather than

just memorizing some talking points

[Tinksrival]

33. Romney talks like Rummy

Answers in questions

[Tinksrival]

34. WOW

That was a total joke!

[Ikonoklast]

35. He's the sanest person in the asylum

But still bat-shit crazy compared to rational thinking people.

Libertarianism as a political ideology is a lot like believing in the Tooth Fairy.
Neither really exists in the real world..

[Solar_Power]

38. He'll drop out soon if he can't raise some cash

and move up in the polls

[spanone]

39. your right malaise fucking warmongers....

and romney would have his fucking lawyers part of his foreign policy.....

ron paul is bat shit crazy about everydamn thing but the war.

[The Gunslinger]

42. The fact that he is considered the most sane..

doesn't say a lot for the republic party.

[Perseid]

43. ron paul is not a neocon

he has an independent voice that I respect.

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. I said that at the first debate

Not only is he the most sane (and he's batshit crazy, so his sanity tells you more about the Republican party today than anthing else)

But I think we can at least trust him with the welfare of the nation, just not social security, the department of labor, and other hard right libertarian issues he takes issue with

But he is sane comapared to the rest
