I am overly passionate in my hatred and disgust of Ron Paul and anyone who defends him or - like yourself - would vote for him.
All through this thread I’ve explained his role in the campaign has been as a useful idiot for Mitt. Paul’s only objective was to divide and conquer the GOP away from real conservatives like Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Newt and so on.
They (conservatives) now are all gone. Who’s left? Mitt and his stooge RoPaul.
Truce? Jim has called for a truce relative to the ABO crowds. He has not backed off his opposition to “911 Truther, Pro-Abortion, Anti Military, Gay Agenda supporting, Drug Legalization supporting Paul-bots.”
And unless I hear otherwise - I will continue to lay waste to any pukes who defend Rep. Ron Paul.
My vote in the Primary will be a vote in support of the US Constitution and against Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, State-ism, Big Government, or a New World Order.
At this point, there is about to be only one way left to do that on the Republican Primary ticket, for those of us that have not had their primary yet.
The fact that we have allowed Ron Paul be the Republican Party’s only remaining outspoken supporter of the Constitution speaks volumes about what we are up against.
Obama has swung the nation’s pendulum so far away from the Constitution that nothing short of an equal or greater swing back towards it has any hope of preserving our Republic.
To those of you that think swinging it back just a little with Romney is good enough, well, good luck with that...
How do you think we got here in the first place?
His role as you see it. You have not proven your case, though, especially given the fact that each of our conservative candidates have taken far, far more votes away from each other, than Ron Paul, or even Mitt Romney, took from away them.
How many more times will we let ourselves be Huckabee-ed and Santorum-ed out of ANY decent conservative candidate? (No, that doesn't mean I think Ron Paul is a decent conservative candidate... The fact that Ron Paul is the ONLY Nationally Recognized Spokesperson for the US Constitution is a crying shame in my view.)
I agree with the poster who said we need a Conservative candidate primary well in advance of the Republican candidate primary.
As to Ron Paul's only objective? It's the same as it has been for 30 years. It's to use every chance, every opportunity, every occasion, every microphone he winds up in front of, to make some uncompromising point about the Constitution. No matter how much of a stretch or how crazy a leap of imagination it takes sometimes. He's said and done the the same thing for 30 years. He is a deeply flawed candidate, but nothing about his policies are as flexible and uncertain (and Socialist) as Romney's.
