Ron Paul is an asshat ...

[Revelation 911]

should move on and try to do some good working within the GOP

the party that used to stand for conservatism and small govt, and has consistently deserted the conservative base ?....no thanks, no money, no support, and while youre at it - kiss my backside

Ron Paul....Don Quixote on LSD.

[Dog Gone]

He’s my congressman and I not only voted against him in the primary, but gave money to his primary opponent.

Unfortunately, he’s unopposed in November, so I’m stuck with him.

Good article by Dave Nalle. Thanks for posting.

You know there was a time when true patriots like the JBS and Ron Paul were looked highly on here. They are the only true defenders of the Constitution and everyone else are neoCons. They were the only ones brave enough to stand up to Reagan and say ‘he made Jimmy Carter look conservative’.

OK, back to reality, I need a shower after that.

This “Dave Nalle” chracter is what passes for conservative writing on FR these days LOL? This guy is a crappy leftist writer with roots in Syria. This guy is an Al Gore cultist.

Ron Paul would be highly regarded here except for his monetary policy and position on the war.

These positions make him a non viable candidate

Ron Paul would be highly regarded here except for his monetary policy and position on the war.

And his calling Reagan a liberal, and cozying up to Troofers and Stormfronters, and pandering to anarchists, and joining Kucinich and the blame America first crowd. I guess both sides need our crazy uncles (ie, Jeremiah Wrights).. we drove out David Duke a while back, someone had to stand out.

In recent weeks the thundering Ron Paul freight train has kind of derailed.

It was more like a Lionel train.

[darkangel82]

Duke was never one of ‘ours’ to start with.

[mnehring]

True, he tried to take on the mantle, but we rejected him. I wish people would open their eyes to Paul.

[Drango]

"Ron Paul would be highly regarded here"...

...his most vocal supporters seemed to be coming from the dangerous fringe of conspiracy paranoia and reactionary bigotry

Yeah 9/11 truther attracts a lot of wackjob followers along with the white supremacy crowd. What an ugly combination.

[JHBowden]

The Paulstapo were just Democrat trolls anyway.

[mnehring]

Something I discovered early this week, I wonder how many are 4channers playing a game?

[Captain Kirk]

More sour grapes from the anti-Paul brigade. The fact that he will be in Congress for at least that next three years really gets under their skin.

I suspect that that that author of this article was one of those who triumphantly declared that Chris Peden would beat him in the primary. In the end, of course, the good voters of Paul's district reelected him by a thundering 70 percent!

Interesting take by the author and comments in this thread. I assume everyone is satisfied with the status quo and the direction the Republic is heading.
