Ron Paul supporters marched along side ANSWER this weekend.

LOL! Pretty much the type I saw down in Iowa.
At some point, the messenger becomes the Message...and Ron Paul has attracted enough zanies...it is almost as if they are trying to discredit the constitutionalist small government view.

Hmmmm. I’d probably vote for Paul before I’d vote for Romney. Might vote for Paul before Huckabee just because he seems kind of left wing. Otherwise I’d vote for the other Republican . . .

It’s good to see that Rosanne is keeping busy after her show went off the air.

Which crisis will it be?
The OJ crisis I’m seeing 24/7 on TV?
Or the Britney crisis that even Neil Cavuto seems obsessed with?

I dunno. Don't judge a book by the cover. I went out for a time in the early 90s with an alterna-chick who had some very interesting crypto-conservative views. I turned her on to
American Spectator (this was back in TAS' tabloid-format days), and such writers as PJ O'Rourke, HL Mencken, Edward Banfield, Robert Nisbet, and Russell Kirk. I gave her a copy of Kirk's
Confessions of a Bohemian Tory one year for Christmas, and she would tell people from then on, with a straight face, that she was a bohemian Tory.
She ended up going to work in a number of conservative interest groups, and now heads up a rather prominent one. I won't mention her name, but if you saw her today you would never guess that she once organized raves and that she had piercings in some very nontraditional places...

Check out Post # 1 from this website which talks about Barry Manilow being a supporter of Ron Paul.
Barry to Elisabeth: Your "View" is Dangerous
"1. Barry go back on and promote Ron Paul!
Barry, since you support Paul, please go on TV somewhere and talk about him!

Note: “Conservative” and “Libertarian” are as different as “Republican” and “Democrat.” A lot of people on this website don’t seem to understand that.

The only crisis I see ahead is the election of a democrat.

I figure he will run on a third party, the PAAAP (Paul’s Anti-American Appeasement Party). I think it will hurt the democrats more than the Republicans though. The true Republicans who vote, will vote for a pro American who wants to win the war on terror. It is the democrats who want to loose, and they are the only people who would vote for cut and run.

“Unfortunately, hes probably more right than wrong about the future.”
I agree. The NWO crowd will eventually bring this country to it’s knees. Can't have all that pesky personal wealth, sovereignty and freedom getting in the way.

I tell the lefties who like ron paul, that I would trade them the Iraq War for all the rest of Paul's positions. Would they make the trade with me? I'd accept Paul and his anti-war crap, if they would accept that PLUS his Libertarianism on the rest of the issues. Would they? Could they? They usually fall silent, most dont even know what a Libertarian is.
Someone else wrote that at least Paul is sticking to his principles in opposing the Iraq thing. If that were all he was doing, then I'd say more power to him. But the fact is that he has stepped over the line into moonbatism, and for that, he has lost any shred of support I had for him, and I speak as someone who has voted for him for PRESIDENT in a past national election..

LOL, That conjured up a very disturbing image.
To: wolfcreek
There were two directions to go when replying to the article. You chose differently than I. I just don’t feel comfortable allowing this guy to address real issues when his fixes are as flawed as his are.
That being said, I agree with your take on this, and the NWO crowd is alive and well even here.

Here at FR, a conservative site, according to founder Jim Robinson, members preferring Ron Paul are currently totaling 5.5% in the poll on the lower right side of the cover page.
Non-members go for Paul at the rate of 20.7
Yet RP gets more threads than any other candidate.
Interesting.
