Cong David Crockett allegedly said, All Politicians are scum (paraphrased).

Naturally, to a politician/and those caught up in the bs of this world, truth will sound like bs.

Dr Ron Paul is basically not a politician, he is a conservative in the true sense of the word as defined by Goldwater and Reagan, of libertarian (small l) philosophy; today most referring to themselves as patriots, etc. are just kidding themselves.

Dr Paul is, indeed, the only true conservative, patriot, candidate out there.

My opinion, others may wallow in the slop to their heart’s content.

Semper Watching!

Neither Reagan nor Goldwater would blame America for all the problems in the world. It was Goldwater who said, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue". Appeasement Paul would have said, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is unthinkable, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is admirable." No the coward from Galveston is NOTHING like Reagan or Goldwater.

On the subject of Cong. David Crockett quotes, my favorite has always been:

We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity, but as Members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.

Really?

"Blast from the past: Ron Paul quits the Republican party (Ron Paul NO FAN of Reagan)"
