If this is true...Chuck Norris is our only hope.

Paul is a candidate, but not a viable or electable candidate - threads should be banned.

[George W. Bush]

Thanks for the transcript , the quote When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it as well as After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing, on their own or paired, appear to be fabrications.

Or at least very hard to find. You know, it did take me quite a while to locate that UCSB archive. For some reason, Google doesn't index it properly for searching. UCSB does quite well at the news conference archives but speeches and other stuff don't go back very far.

That said, there's nothing wrong with demanding the source for these quotes which float around. I had that one recently of Bush on his relative indifference to the capture of Osama. While I found a press conference that did say virtually the same things, the actual quote which floated around turned out to be bogus. If I hadn't been challenged on it, I wouldn't have known. The Lefty sites are creating a lot of bogus stuff to float around and then quote it endlessly, causing it to have a bazillion hits in Google which fools people into thinking it is a real quote. The Snopes forum does some good work exposing these false quotes.

Maybe one of these days, we'll see a FalseQuotes.com website dedicated to weeding out the true from the false. Maybe a Wiki project. I find trying to search Snopes to be too unwieldy at times.

"Even if he loses in the primary, he will still run in the general."

How so?

[Designer]

"And he will siphon votes..from the Republicans, not Hillary.."

Also how so?

I thought you guys claim Ron Paul is only a "nutter" and only the libs pretending to be "conservatives" will support him.

Now you claim that Ron Paul would be somehow attractive to Republicans and not democrats.

Whew! Would somebody please explain this new development?

Chuck should be ready, his contract to advertise the Total Gym is set to expire in a few weeks...

“This sudden, ignorant embrace of Ron Paul by people on the left is so weird that it’s a little creepy”

Over the 4th of July holiday I took the family to Seattle’s Greenlake which is a gathering place for the strangest of the loony left that Seattle has to offer, and Seattle is about as Left as they come. (They actually have a statue of Lenin). Anyway, who do we see having a rally? Thats right, a Ron Paul rally. Dozens and dozens of them with banners, signs, bull horns, and pamphlets they were handing out to the people walking around the lake. And the strangest thing - they were received very well by the leftist people in the park. Try holding a Rudy, Mitt, Fred, rally or any of the other GOP candidates in that same park and they would have to call in the Seattle Police to protect you from the angry mobs that would gather.

Update- I went by bus into Seattle to see the Huskies play Ohio State this last Saturday. Going through the very liberal U-District I saw plenty of Political yard signs - All Ron Paul. The type of flies that get attracted to Paul aught to warn you that he is someone to stay well clear of.

[George W. Bush]

Maybe Rudy. But I can't imagine angry mobs over Mitt. Or Fred.

[NavyCanDo]

Then you don’t know Seattle.

In the fall of 2000 “before” Bush became the lefts #1 enemy. At around the same time he got a 10% bump with his appearance on Oprah - I and other Bush supporters stood in front of Husky Stadium with Bush/Cheney signs. We were flipped off so many times I could not count them. One guy got in my face yelling at the top of his lungs tempting me to throw a punch.

Sorry, as long as he's a declared presidential candidate, he's newsworthy.

threads should be banned.

Just like a liberal. Can't debate the merits of Paul's candidacy so you want him banned.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Whew! Would somebody please explain this new development?

They engage in the very consipracy kookery that they accuse Paul supporters of engaging in.

[Sonora]

No, just threads about him banned. What more can be stated about this nutcase?

Why is he considered newsworthy here?

[Designer]

"They engage in the very consipracy kookery that they accuse Paul supporters of engaging in."

Yes, indeed they do!

How is it that the very first ones to respond to a Ron Paul post are the bashers?

Furthermore, they don't say exactly why they think Ron Paul is a "nutter", just that he is.

[Sicon]

I’m not sure I can drink enough Kool-Aid to get on board the RP revolution... Maybe I could just not bother voting in 2008. The outcome would be the same either way...

[Allegra]

was at the Gathering of Eagles’ counter-protest in DC this weekend. As the anti-America hippies marched on...I noticed that probably 10% of them were holding Ron Paul signs. Certainly doesn’t say much for the patriotism of Ron Paul and his supporters.

Yep...it's a pretty good indication of which side seems to be most enamored of him...this was a MoveOn, A.N.S.W.E.R. event, for crying out loud. And his supporters showed up for that. Yeeesh.

McCainiacs.
