Heck, a lot of folks wonder how much Soros money is going to paul's big fundraisers.

Leave. Just go.
Mr. Paul, you are NOT a Republican. You may have views that intersect with some aspects of the Republican platform. That does NOT make you a Republican.
The Republican Party is a big tent movement. We don't apply nearly the same strictness when it comes to tests of ideological purity as the Democrats do, but we still have some standards. And you, sir, do not even come close to meeting them.
People who blame America for the acts of war made against it are not Republicans.
People who think that we blew up our own buildings on 9/11...or who hint that we might have...or who attract the support of people with such beliefs...are not Republicans.
People who may be receiving secret funding from George Soros...and who certainly receive energy and succor from radical leftists...are not Republicans.
People who have become the darling of, and the recipient of support from, America's neo-Nazis and white supremacists---and who refuse to openly repudiate that support---are not Republicans.
And people who publish racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-American newsletters...are not Republicans.
Oh, and your protestations of innocence regarding this racist, anti-Semitic, anti-American newsletter to which you attached your name are absurd. As Jonah Goldberg said yesterday on the Michael Medved show, if...

Now, send the same message to Rudy, Romney, Huckster, and McInsane.
I am not a Paul fan at all, but if he is supposed to leave, could he take most of our other candidates and drop them off a RAT headquarters?
Its about time this stuff was made public in forums like this.
You beat me with the same thought. LOL
What a dumb article.
I guess pro-abortionists and gun grabbers are A-OK with this dope.
whats sad is that this traitor just beat Fred Thompson by almost 10pts in New Hampshire
Was it incorrect?
Just wondering.
Naturally, the PaulBots will be in complete denial. It doesn’t matter where the material comes from, no one has the right to criticize Ron Paul except Ron Paul. Anyone else is a liberal, a socialist, a neo-conservative, whatever name they find handy at the time.
Frankly, this is why I agreed with you yesterday that we should not be zotting PaulBots out of hand. The more they show themselves for what they are, the more honest FReepers will see just what motivates them.
In a liberal state that Thompson didn’t even campaign in? Might as well ask how Paul will do against Thompson in San Francisco. Not worried. Let’s wait until Super Tuesday and see how that plays out.
What a dumb response. The article write is right on. Ron Paul is no republican, and those who support him can leave too.
Yeah, but where’s Ron Paul gonna go? Does the Klan still have its own political party?
Besides Hunter, Paul is the only GOP candidate that is not sitting down and partying with Soros.
Who said mcCain is !
Be careful of what you ask for. An independent run by Ron Paul in 08 could sink the GOP nominee.
Not as sad as unrealistic hopes being pinned on candidates with zero charisma and long past their prime who obviously don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. (Remember Bob Dole?)
If Rudy McRomnabee is what passes for republican, I’d say the GOP has left us.
Yes, get out, damn you! You're reminding the Republicans that they have forgotten all about conserving the Constitution. They can't hear that treasonous talk because they've got big spending plans ahead! There are evangelical votes to buy with promises of a new Inquisition, and redneck yahoos to impress by buying ten new aircraft carriers and talking "tough on terror!"
(But just make sure you don't dare to notice that they really don't take terrorism seriously at all, because they've left the back door open to terrorists and anybody else who wants to walk right in as long as there is some chance they will help keep the consumer economy afloat...)
So enough of this Constitutionalist garbage, Ron Paul! We can't afford freedom right now, because EastAsia has sworn to destroy us! So just get out! ;)
Quality of posting on the FR decreasing rapidly. A pity...
Sorry, disagree. If you really believe we should have smaller government, you can’t support anyone else in this GOP primary but Ron Paul. I don’t agree with him on everything. I never will, but at least I know he won’t sell out his principles for cheap political gain like some front running Republicans in the race. I noticed he beat this websites’ two darlings yesterday, Fred Thompson & Duncan Hunter like a drum. It wasn’t even close. He almost beat Rudy as well.
Heck, a lot of folks wonder how much Soros money is going to paul's big fundraisers.
Ron Paul can be accused of many things, but accusing him of receinving funding from Soros is dead wrong. He is an enemy of Soros and his agents, as well an enemy of those who hire Soros for dirty jobs.
Just the other day I noticed posters in this forum stating that they wished all of Paul, Hunter & Keyes supporters would leave the party. One guy even said that Paul supporters were a cancer upon the GOP that needed to be cut out.
Of course in a few months these same posters will be telling everyone that we need every vote that we can get. That you must hold our nose and vote for Giuliani or you are delivering us to Hillary.
Paul adheres to more republican issues than several of the other candidates.
I'm sure that was a mere oversight.
David Duke ran on the platform of limited government and returning to Constitutional values, heck, he even disavowed racism, but didn’t mean the Republicna party had to accept him. If Paul was only about Constitutional values and limited government, we wouldn’t have a problem with him.
Remember, Fred Phelps talks about the bible and Christianity all the time, doesn’t mean you want him at your church.
maybe
I don’t think so. Here in Boulder, there are ron Paul signs and stickers everywhere. The primaries are full of saboteurs and “activists” that are pushing this fruitcake as a viable contender. The truth is plain to see - republicans will not vote for this clown nor should they allow him as part of the party. Would they let David Duke up onstage at a republican debate? Do they have to include RuPaul?
Note fReepers there are many saboteurs within the FR pages. See who they are most afraid of - Mitt Romney, Hunter, Thompson, McCain. Those are the candidates that would smash Hillary/Obama. They are all good candidates. The Dem candidates are all talentless unaccomplished hacks.
He cannot really do any worse
Oh, please. What self-indulgent tripe.
Here is the context of Ron Paul's rejection of the New Republic expose taken directly from Paul's site':
"January 8, 2008 5:28 am EST
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In response to an article published by The New Republic, Ron Paul issued the following statement:
“The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts.
“In fact, I have always agreed with Martin Luther King, Jr. that we should only be concerned with the content of a person's character, not the color of their skin. As I stated on the floor of the U.S. House on April 20, 1999: ‘I rise in great respect for the courage and high ideals of Rosa Parks who stood steadfastly for the rights of individuals against unjust laws and oppressive governmental policies.’
“This story is old news and has been rehashed for over a decade. It's once again being resurrected for obvious political reasons on the day of the New Hampshire primary.
“When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the product. For over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name.”
Nowhere in this statement does Paul indicate the writer was fired. I wonder where the above poster got his material. In fact, judging by the above denial, Paul would/should have no executive authority to fire anyone under the circumstances as stated. The whole implication being that whoever did this did so beyond the scope of Paul's control.
Which is exactly what the Dim’s are hoping for by feeding Run Paul’s campaign with Soros’ money.
“If Paul was only about Constitutional values and limited government, we wouldn’t have a problem with him.”
Put down your pipe. I’ve seen enough of your posts to know that regardless of “anything whatsoever”, you would oppose him.
PAUL WANTS TO DESTROY OUR MILITARY - HOW IS THAT A REPUBLICAN ISSUE?
I agree. Time for Paul and any other, not a real Republican, candidate to get out of the party. And take your followers with you. Of course that would mean the Republicans wouldn’t have the chance of a snowball in Hell winning an election but, what the heck. At least the party would be pure.
Maybe they should start a Moonbat Party. Paul and Kucinich could fight it out for the '08 nomination.
Exactly.
If Paul supporters had any sense they would have realized a long time ago that if they REALLY wanted smaller government and federalism than Thompson was the man. Who knows maybe some of those supporters will wise up, but I won’t be holding my breath. The one’s I’ve talked to are still defending the guy...unbelievable!
McCain is problematic, for sure. His voting record is mostly conservative, but he has stabbed conservatives and the GOP in the back several times. Factor his voting record (83 lifetime ACU rating) with his annoying “maverick” behaviors, and you still get someone who occupies far more of the GOP’s ideological space than Ron Paul ever will. Paul has the small government thing going for him, but that’s about it. I’d rather have Thompson, but I’d take McCain over Paul any day.
Seriously. Paul is closer to the Republican platform than these four and 90% of the idiots we have in Congress.
Perhaps the leading candidates could echo this brilliant post. If Paul is so repugnant they should come out explicitly against Paul’s and his supporter’s racism against minorities and seek to bounce Paul and his 10% out of the party. Those few thousand won’t be missed and think of the millions who will look to the GOP as the true saviors of America. Just an idea, maybe you could e-mail your post to the campaigns.
What about Giuliani, Spectre & Snowe?
A lot of folks wonder how much Soros money is going to his pals McCain, Rudy, Romney, Huckabee and Thompson.
They’re all in the club with him.
Does the Klan still have its own political party?
I second that. Get out, Paul!
As much as I disagree with the Rudy McRomnabee’s of the GOP they are far better men than Ron Paul is. At least they don’t draw most of their support from neo-Nazis and other hate groups. If I thought Ron Paul represented what the GOP ought to be, I’d leave the party. Even the Democrats would give us a better president than Ron Paul.
