Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani and Double Standards

[George W. Bush]

She looks like a great supporter of the Constitution to me.

It may require further study with a magnifying glass. We have to be sure.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What pisses you off is that I post here at all, and yes, I do post on Ron Paul threads.

What pisses me off is the continuous dumpster-diving you do looking for anything on Paul. You're smearing one of the most honorable men who have ever served in Congress, someone who is a devout Christian married for 50 years. I can understand the criticism of Paul on the war, but FReepers have went beyond that and started smearing Paul personally, even insinuating that he's pro-abortion.

Don't like me posting here on FR, your buddies don't, too da*n bad (an m not w). B*tch to management, becaus your opinion is nothing to me, dumbass.

Your postings are counter-productive. You fail to appreciate what Paul is doing for the long-term. He is rebuilding the GOP with new voters and younger voters who previously never gave a damn about politics. He has united the libertarians and the social conservatives back into the GOP. I don't mind that you post here, as I told you before, I appreciate your Middle East threads and have replied to you without the venom that's common on these threads.

Look, Paul's not going to drop out of the race just for you, OK? I just don't understand that if leftists and anti-war kooks are really supporting him, you make a big deal out of it. You're not going to vote for him anyway. If these folks are supporting him, then I say stand back and watch him implode. But they're not supporting him, which explains your hit pieces.

All the well-known liberal freepers of the past were very vocally anti-Paul too. Chief Jackson, Fat Luis, Poohbie, Cultural Jihad, Palpatine. I kinda miss those days. :-(

Y'don't mean to tell me - CWOJackson is gone????

Never missed him one bit.

Nor Poohbah, nor the other two you listed next.

Who was Fat Luis? I don't racall that screen name.

[Mr. Silverback]

I'm no Robertson fan, but comparing Robertson to the 9/11 truthers and Stormfront? Just more evidence that Paul's supporters need medication.

Thanks for coming by to give us the latest from the Ministry of Silly Explanations, though.

Any questions?

[Mr. Silverback]

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," January 8, 1992

Wow. A preacher discussed (and endorsed!!!) actual Biblical doctrine and you guys see that as threatening. How very wise and generous of you.

[Mr. Silverback]

I really love this standard you guys have where anyone who isn't a member of the Church of Paul is automatically a Rudy-loving heretic.

Rudy's a lib; I'm opposing his candidacy. That said, your candidate is a traitor who should be deported. Get over yourselves.

[incindiary]

Oh, the irony is just too much.

It's the exact opposite. And when the truth eventually comes out, some of you guys will owe not only Dr. Paul but a lot of other people apologies.

I was listing an assembly of famous quotes and included the entire list. I think you know which ones are the offensive ones. Or are you just worried that someone will know all the stupid crap Robertson has said over the years and realize why the old fraud isn't much of a plus when endorsing Rudi.

It's actually funny. That bunch goes from site to site these days getting booted for being obnoxious and showing up somewhere else. They certainly suck at life.

Who was Fat Luis?

Gonzalez the sociopath.

[jmc813]

Jim’s also not going to vote for Rudy if he’s the nominee. I remember seeing you bitch about people doing that a while back.

[jmc813]

Fred Thompson is a traitor?

[Mr. Silverback]

Oh, the irony is just too much.

Let's say that all the NAU stuff is the real deal and not the Y2K/Black Helicopter fad for 2007. Will I then owe Dr. Paul an apology? Heck no! A guy who's right on one issue (NAU) and a traitor on another (Iraq) is still a traitor. You'll also notice that I don't call him a traitor for opposing the war. He is a traitor because he is advocating defeat for the American soldier, and wants to pull funds while they are engaged with the enemy and winning.

[Mr. Silverback]

I could care less if Roberston endorses Rudy, as I am no fan of Robertson's and 100% opposed to Rudy. What's hilarious is watching Dr. Benedict Arnold's supporters channel a bunch of God-hating libs to try and make their candidate look sane.

When Fred Thompson shows up on Alex Jones' show and in one of Alex Jones' "documentaries," you let me know. Until then, it's just more blather from the ministry of Silly Explanations.

[Mr. Silverback]

Jim’s also not going to vote for Rudy if he’s the nominee. I remember seeing you bitch about people doing that a while back.

Well, I hope Jim and others will change their minds about that if we are visited with the horro of a Giuliani nomination, and I have respectfully shared that opinion with him in the past.

However, none of that changes the fact that Ron Paul gives aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war and should be deported, not nominated.

[jmc813]

I doubt he will. Jim doesn't vote for pro-abortion gun grabbers and neither do I. If you want to, knock yourself out.

[Mr. Silverback]

I doubt he will. Jim doesn't vote for pro-abortion gun grabbers and neither do I. If you want to, knock yourself out.

Yes, and the great part is your vote will ensure that no pro-abortion gungrabber will sit in the Oval Office in 2009, because there aren't any running for the Dem nomination, right?

Given a choice between making the libs take a field goal and quitting the game and selling them the stadium for a buck, I'll take the field goal.
