Idiot isolationist L.Ron is popular with Seattle liberals?

I’m shocked.

He was drawn to politics when President Nixon severed the connection between the dollar and gold in 1971.

You can't make this stuff up.

"I don't support abortion, but I don't want to pass any federal law to regulate it," he added.

My, what a champion of the unborn. He's personally opposed, but . . .

Well, heck, Ron, let’s just disband the entire U.S. military while we’re at it and let every man go for himself. I’m game!

"We should only send U.S. forces abroad when our security is directly threatened. Right now, nobody threatens our national security."

Oh, OK. "This is just a wonderful, rosy World we live in, Ollie."

In Paul's view, the U.S. invasion of Iraq worked to encourage al-Qaida.

The Socialists say the same thing.

Has he seen any other Republican candidate he could support for the White House? "So far, nobody," he replied.

Perhaps he ought to return to the Libertarian Party, if he has so little in common with the Republican Party.

We all want our troops home. It is a matter of when and under what conditions.

"My, what a champion of the unborn. He's personally opposed, but . . ."

Actually, his position is the correct one under the Constitution. The Fedgov has no authority under the Constitution to regulate abortion, either for or against---it's a state function.

Don't get me wrong--I'm as opposed to abortion as anybody, but I also believe that our Constitution should be followed---AS WRITTEN (or amended---and NOT by Supreme Court).p Now, if you can persuade enough members of Congress and sufficient state legislatures to pass an actual Constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion--then I'd be all in favor.

I am embarrassed that this weenie is from Texas. The sooner he loses the better.

Bush has moved us much in this direction by insisting that other nations provide for their own defense and by planning to close foreign bases.

I may fall in love with Paul, as I also agree that the Fed claims to control too much land. Recently, I saw that they have expanded the set aside of TR by ten times. They do a lousy job of managing it. However, I would reenact the Homestead law so the land goes to people, not states.

Very interesting. From what I can see, his positions are more conservative than liberal on balance, but he's got the college kiddies swooning just because of his opposition to the Iraq war.

He has some very devoted backers, too. His signs appear everywhere around here.
