Ron Paul Ping
I remember in 2006, 2007-ish, Ron Paul said Bush and the “neocons” were going to attack Iran within a year. Oops.
I’ll say this about Ron...the liberal media loves him, because they can post his liberal-like views and make him seem to be a symbol of the dying GOP. Ron is conserative in many respects, but they don’t care to accentuate that. It was his anti-war view that made him a media darling.
Ron Paul is the only GOP leader who is constantly promoting the right wing ideology on tv, internet and elsewhere
on top of Ron Paul bashing other GOPers all the time, is why the media love him. What bothers me a little bit is that Ron Paul rarely bashes Democrats
“Ron Paul is the only GOP leader who is constantly promoting the right wing ideology on tv, internet and elsewhere”
He’s a loon.
I’ve seen Ron Paul attack GOP for their ill intentions, but never Democrats. I like to see him bash Democrats at least once in a while, not just think of them as misguided with good intentions
“on top of Ron Paul bashing other GOPers all the time, is why the media love him. What bothers me a little bit is that Ron Paul rarely bashes Democrats”
I’m uncertain if that was just media editting our just Ron Paul’s spin on things. Either way, a conservative shouldn’t destroy the right but change it from within.
Years back he seemed reasonable on certain things (within articles he wrote), but the moment I started LISTENING to him....he did appear odd. Copy and paste with a cartoonish feel.
9/11 truthers LOVE him...
So in reality he's....John McCain?
I’m not a Ron Paul fan (he’s a loon), but Charles Johnson’s credibility has been in the toilet for a while now. He lost me with his brilliant 2008 election analysis that “creationists” lost the election for the GOP.
It astounds me how these folks want to beat up on Ron Paul who as far as I can tell is the only elected official in Washington DC that has hitched his wagon to the United States Constitution.
Ron Paul is definately far right of Mccain and far right of many ppl on here, but he does have the same relationship with the media that Mccain have
Perhaps someone with a little more knowledge on the subject than I have can set me straight on the John Birch Society. It isn't a racist organization is it?
I thought it was mainly an older Constitutionalist Conservative group. Am I off base here?
It really angers me when people toss out labels like that. If they want to talk about an organization, they need to provide more information than an epithet to gain my agreement. It destroys an argument faster than anything else for me.
Chuck Johnson never misses a chance to get in a dig against religion, religious people of any faith, or creationism, or intelligent design.
He's a committed atheist big-banger.
Got to agree with you about Charles Johnson and LGF. I used to be a daily reader of LGF, but some time ago, I’d guess around election time, I just stopped reading his blog. He has become arrogant and .....dare I say....narcissistic.
I have not seen him come right out and endorse Presidunce Barry, but then again, I don’t visit his blog much at all anymore. At the very least, he’s a closet supporter.
Quite honestly, I am having trouble differentiating between Ron Paul and Barack Obama:
1. Barack Obama associates with unsavory racists, Ron Paul associates with unsavory racists.
2. Barack Obama wants to harm US economy by causing inflation; Ron Paul wants to harm US economy by causing deflation.
3. Barack Obama wants to restrict free trade; Ron Paul wants to restrict free trade.
4. Barack Obama is looking to betray our closest allies; Ron Paul wants to betray all our allies.
I agree there are some subtle differences. But they are very subtle.
