He’s a hater!

In other words we have nothing but crooks running for office in both parties.
Ron Paul and Harry Reid are twins separated a birth
More garbage being dumped on the public to distort and confuse voters.
This means Jim DeMint is in bed with these very same people, and Sarah Palin. Mostly it’s republican elites that fear Paul.
Unfortunately there is accepted wisdom on the Civil War, and it has become sacred. We lost 600,000 - 700,000 of our own people. Many others were maimed. War crimes were rampant. Cities and homes were destroyed. Lincoln violated the Constitution more than any other president. Young men were conscripted to fight against their will, the ultimate violation of freedom.
As far as I know, we were the only country to liberate slaves through war. We could have peacefully let the South go and then embargoed trade. Slavery was extremely inefficient and was collapsing under its own weight. It was already in its last days. (Read de Tocqueville's Democracy In America about how poorly slave states performed and why.)
If a state wants to leave the Union, no other state has the right to keep it in. This is the essence of federalism.
Few can see the Civil War for the atrocity it was. As Thomas Paine said "Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
According to DeMint and Palin we should embrace Paul. So, Welcome to the Republican fold Cynthia McKinney (((hugs))). We have much to learn from Paul and friends.
Yes, at times I hate Republicans as well - so what? I really have no idea why articles like this are even written. Paul’s not going to win the nomination, despite getting plenty of votes along the way (surely right up until the very final primary; he’s never dropping out). All this is does is play into the persecution complex that characterizes a somewhat large portion of his supporters.
I’m still in wonderment that people are still taking this tinfoil hat wearing individual seriously as a possible presidential candidate.
To the headline: - yea duh
Included in that: reason, rational thought, coherent ideas
Ron Paul is a single person. He will never get nominated and he thus casts one vote. Like me. Like you.
His Paulbot followers are dominated by dopers who want legal marijuana and cocaine and probably think they might get it for free too. Some of these people will end up voting for the Republican no matter who it is, some for the Demovik no matter who it is, many won’t vote at all in November.
I hear and respect DeMint and Palin but they are wrong about coddling Paul or his Paulbots. There is almost nothing to be gained in catering to dopers. Why do you think they call it dope?
What those who truly hate Ron Paul need to consider is that those who support him, support instead his IDEAS on things that conservatives want.
They truly don’t care that a screwball is advocating these very good ideas alongside his crackpot ideas.
His supporters point out that he is the *only* candidate calling for these logical, conservative, and constitutional things.
THE ONLY ONE.
Thus they are indifferent to Ron Paul the man, and Ron Paul the screwball. They are DESPERATE that someone, ANYONE in the Republican party endorse these LOGICAL, CONSERVATIVE, AND CONSTITUTIONAL THINGS.
And they aren’t. Why is that?
Why are Romney and Gingrich and Perry and the rest of them so at variance with logic, conservatism, and constitutionality? The best they can say is that they are conservative sometimes, depending on how the wind is blowing.
Why isn’t there a SANE conservative candidate running on the platform of:
1) Ending socialism in America.
2) Reducing the real size and power of the federal government? The presidency, the congress, the judiciary, and the bureaucracy?
3) Restoring our RIGHTS enumerated in the BILL OF RIGHTS, that have been curtailed and dismissed as unimportant by both political parties for a HUNDRED years?
4) Balancing the federal budget by not spending more money than the government takes from the people as taxes?
5) Limiting our foreign involvement to our national interests in a dozen places in the world, instead of the hundred we are now. And telling the worthless scoundrels at the UN to bugger off with their One World Government ideas.
6) Put a fence on our southern border with Mexico, without screwing around for decades. Increase penalties for foreigners who commit felonies while in the US illegally.
7) Return lands taken from the states by the federal government.
8) Demilitarize our federal police. We have over 100 federal police agencies, many of whom should be consolidated, and now non-police agencies are buying arms as well. The Department of Education does NOT need its own SWAT team.
9) End the Patriot Act laws that are NEVER used against terrorists, only against American citizens not implicated in any way with terrorists or terrorism. These laws are unconstitutional lies and must be ended.
>> Ron Paul Hates Republicans and Everything They Stand For
A lot of Republicans are statists so maybe his alleged ‘hatred’ is not misplaced. Nonetheless, Paul’s portrayal of reality is tenuous.
Code Pink Endorses Ron Paul

Why doesn’t he attack Romney?
Ron Paul is batshit crazy, he will nuke Cuba, Venezuela, Mecca and probably even China.
He is one of those people that believe that the world would be better off if it had 5 billion less souls on it.
I’m not sure that Ron Paul hates Republicans but I AM SURE THAT THE LAST THING WE NEED IS A 3RD PARTY RUN.
That action would simply hand the boob another 4 years to destroy our country.
Interesting.... Ron Paul feels about me, the way I feel about him...
“Most people already know that Ron Paul refused to endorse John McCain in the 2008 general election.”
I neither endorsed nor voted for John McCain in 2008. No, I do not regret that decision.
headline should be “Hates rinos , loves constitution”. as for his foreign policy , im over giving money we dont have to countries that treat us like crap .
So lets vote Romney!!! If it comes to Romney vs. Paul (which it will) GO ROMNEY!!!!
