Rep. Dr. Ron Paul is the only Candidate now running who:
1.) Has a comprehensive platform that will cut BASELINE Federal spending.
2.) Insists that all of the planks in his platform are consistent with the US Constitution.
3.) Accepts the fact that the USA can no longer financially afford to be the World’s policeman.
4.) Fully understands how to dismantle the disastrous Federal medical “entitlements” of Medicare, Medicaid, and the illegal Obama”care.”
5.) Has a comprehensive plan to abolish or dramatically shrink 5 Federal Departments, or Bureaus.
These positions set Dr. Paul apart from the rest of the Candidates who stubbornly cling to the time-honored traditions of "The Bipartisan Cave-In" by the RINO Political Party. (Democrats NEVER cave-in, but they still call it Bipartisan.)
I enjoy reading about the furor caused by Ron Paul rocking the boat. Paul offers a clear philosophical break to the leadership of the RINO Party, and thus has triggered the fear emotion of “fight or flight” among many faithful RINOs.
Four years from now, Senator Rand Paul will probably run for POTUS. Watch closely this year, and compare what you see to what Rand will be saying 4 years from now.
As usual, the “most electable” RINO will be chosen as the Party Nominee in Tampa, a failed and time-tested method of “playing not to lose,” just like the way losing teams do in football.
Nonetheless, Rep. Paul has defined a platform that the RINO Party must take some planks from to avoid going the way of the Whig Political Party.
It’s great to have The Soros pawn doing the lefts Bidding .
Were you involved in the Paul nutters joint venture with r

A new low from the Paul -Soros - Acorn storm troopers !
You must be very of Ronny !
I am so stealing that line.
Get a grip and join reality. You think Jefferson, the man who went after the Barbary Pirates would brown nose Iran ala Ron Paul style?
His lies, anti-US Constitution, isolationism, pandering to conspiracy whackos, blaming the US for 9/11, and more prove that he is nothing but a leftwing kook.
LOL...

The only possible effect will take place if he runs on a third party ticket. He will help the Republican nominee by doing so, as most of his support comes from young liberals who ignore his fiscal message and support his liberal policies regarding foreign policy and drug legalization.
My read is that much of his support from the conserative side comes from people who vote third party or don’t vote anyway.
Run Doctor, run!
Now now, don’t go hitting Paulinoids with facts...
3.) Accepts the fact that the USA can no longer financially afford to be the World’s policeman.
Those two points alone scuttle Ron Paul's chances of winning the Republican nomination. If there are two things that the modern Republican Party stands for it is dispensing of the Constitution when convenient - Big Government spending (TARP, Medicare Part D) eviscerating the Bill of Rights (Patriot Act, NDAA) and unending, Trillion-dollar a year Globalist military interventions. If that wasn't enough they emulate the Soviet Union in one more way. They label anyone that opposes their policies as "crazy". Ron Paul really is a RINO.
I see the latest RNC talking points has been made available to it’s followers.
This makes Paul a RINO ~ a Republican In Name Only. He does that to run for office. This is an old tradition in the Souf' and Texas. Run as a Republican to bypass the demands of the Democrats, or Libertarians or whatevers.
For many years the Republican party throughout the Souf' was a SHELL. Now it's not, so this sort of behavior is far more serious.
So, let's count up how many RINOs the Republicans have using different definitions
(1) Traditional ~ (as describe above) ~ that'd give us Perry and Paul.
(2) More modern ~ ustabe a Democrat, Libertarian or some other party but didn't run as one ~ that'd give us Michelle Bachman and that Johnson guy (although Johnson tried to run as a Libertarian the other day).
(3) Ustabe a Republican but joined or allied with Democrats ~ that'd be Jon Huntsman.
This leaves Newt Gingrich, Romney and Santorum as the only real, full scale, authentic Republicans running in this primary for President.
So, 8 candidates and 5 of them arguably RINOs under very narrow interpretations of the term.
Some still want to label Romney for his mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Leftwingtard government program outlook ~ but I think we already have sufficient terms concerning such folks so there's no sense wasting a perfectly usable term like "RINO" on them.
Only Gingrich and Santorum are clear cut, down the line, traditional Republicans.
So rand, which part of Responsible’s statement is incorrect?
These statements have been shown dozens and dozens of times on FR, however tell which are untrue.
He and mittens are the only two beating or tied with Thugbama.
RP has MASS APPEAL to independents sick to death of the GOP, as most of us are.
In fact, the Occupy idiots marched on Paul's headquarters to declare their SUPPORT for him.
What a disgusting excuse for a politician.
Good luck with that...
