Accept No Substitutes? [Just who are Ron Paul Supporters?]

So serious.....

[Swordfished]

If this immigration bills passes, I will declare the country medically dead and therefore no longer worthy of the ‘lesser of two evils’ idea.

I will then be a full-on Constitutional or Libertarian Party supporter.

Just who are Ron Paul Supporters?

Radical "live and let live" libertarians who want to legalize all drugs, oppose "one man and one woman" marriage legislation, dismantle the Patriot Act, disengage from protecting our international interests, etc.

[deport]

Can’t say that is the case today.

---

Can’t say that I see him much of a threat to win the GOP today either.

To each his own I guess.

[mgstarr]

There are a sadly large number of "conservatives" who'd find the following quote to be seditious:

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security

I wonder which side of the Revolution they'd actually have been on.

[niki]

They are the kooks that still believe in the Constitution and limited government.

[lonevoice]

Maybe Ron Paul is the GOP vanguard.

BWAH! That's the funniest thing I've read all day. :-)

[abigailsmybaby]

I believe he thinks all that should be left up to the individual states, not the federal government. Are you against that or do you like big government?

[mgstarr]

The concept of freedom and liberty existed well before there were (R)’s and (D)’s.

You’d be hard pressed to see that based on the threads here in in support of “benevolent” Big Brother.

[carenot]

He wants to get rid of all federal laws against drugs.

Of course he does.
He believes most laws should be up to the States.

[carenot]

Any candidate who has the party bosses running their mud factory overtime has my interest. They sure cranked it up for Sen. Coburn of Oklahoma.

I sure do like him. He is a lot like Ron Paul.

[Ditter]

Wrong elkieboy, I have met Paul and he is a squirrel. He will not be elected president. I certainly do not fear him.

[mysterio]

I don’t know. I don’t speak for them. I personally like the way he has voted against many Constitutionally questionable bills.

[carenot]

I was a Ron Paul supporter until he became a Alex Jones clone.

How is he an Alex Jones clone?

[goldenequity]

Who IS Ron Paul? Everybody seems to dip out of each other's cup and borrow OPO's (other people's oppinions) concerning Ron Paul. A growing support base means the man has something to say. Why not listen and decide for yourself?

NOBODY explains Ron Paul BETTER than Ron Paul himself! Here is an interactive audio archive of Ron Paul speeches and interviews in chronological order. Worth a look! www.ronpaulaudio.com

Signed up today to campaign for Paul I see. Well welcome to FreeRepublic, but Paul is going no where, get used to it.

[bnelson44]

I find it remarkable that just about every Ron Paul supporter I know also frequents Prison Planet

[wideawake]

His supporters do tend to be people who have read the Constitution a time or two

In reality Ron Paul and his supporters know a lot less about the Constitution than the average Republican.

Ron Paul, touted by his supporters as a defender of the Constitution, is actually a huge booster of the legal theories of Lysander Spooner - a Constitution-hating crank.

Ron Paul is no Constitutionalist.

[CommerceComet]

Just did a check. Of the 6195 votes for Paul right now, 4063 of them came from this site: http://www.gopstrawpolls.com/pollresults.php?state=&refer=gopstrawpolls.com Not sure what that means (maybe spamming, not sure)

Perhaps OrthodoxPresbyterian hit the vote button 4,000 times? ;-)

[P-40]

In reality Ron Paul and his supporters know a lot less about the Constitution than the average Republican.

Then the average Republican must not know very much. And Ron Paul is a booster of Spooner?
