Okay, he’d be better than Obama: but that ain’t saying much.
Ron Paul is the new Pat Paulson.
Ho, hum!!!!!
The man is the only Constitutionalist in Congress and has to date lived up to his promise that he would “never vote for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution” and still a majority of Freepers consider him crazy. Just goes to show how far the “Conservative Right” has moved towards the center.
Ron Paul got railroaded because Rush and Hannity didn’t like his stance on Iraq.
He was the most conservative candidate in the last election and the attacks came from the right.
Rush and Hannity wouldn’t allow themselves to be wrong on Iraq. Therefore, anyone that didn’t support us going into Iraq had to be labeled looney by them.
In 1913 these United States were recolonized into the British Empire through the enactment of the federal reserve Act.
.........Ah, because Rush and Sean WEREN’T wrong on Iraq. As far as Ron Paul goes, how’s that “truther” aspect coming along for him? Please.

Agreed.
I’m guessing Ron Paul was/is anti-war, not because he is a wimp, but because like the Federal Reserve itself, the war’s main purpose, like all the pork and wasteful spending, is to drain our treasury.
Towards the center?
Nah...more like towards the left.
Just look at the most recent Republican administration, the first to face a throughly Republican-controlled Congress since Coolidge.
Except, unlike Coolidge, who actually reduced the size of the Federal government and its debt and spending, the most recent Republican administration engaged in "compassionate conservatism" and outspent all its predecessors.
The fact of the matter is that...
No Republican since Coolidge has ever reduced the size of the Federal government and its spending and debt.
Reagan tried but faced a barely Republican-controlled Senate and a Democrat-controlled House.
And unless we find another Coolidge or another Reagan and pair him/her with throughly libertarian conservatives, and quickly, then we're screwed.
"In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule."Link

Ditto, Jim.
Ron Paul's libertarian beliefs on foreign policy and international affairs are naive and dangerous, and no different then the liberal Democratic Party agenda. Paul voted against the 2002 Iraq war resolution and has continually opposed both the Iraq and Afghan wars. He opposed the Patriot Act and enhanced interrogation and voted against funding for our troops fighting the Islamofacists. Also, Paul supports bringing ALL US troops home and blames America for 911.
Paul is not only loony, he belongs in a straight jacket and heavily medicated. A first class crackpot!
It's tough these days to figure out who hates the libertarian right more; socialists or the fiscally (un)conservative neocons.
Most of them should come home. Why do we have bases in England, France, Germany, etc? Can you give 1 good reason to leave those open?
and blames America for 911.
That's not a fair assessment of what he has said. Paul believes, and he is correct, that our foreign policy will have some blow back. We can't go around the world, do what we want to other countries, and act like everyone will like us.
I also love the way he drives the RINO nutjobs here are FR even more nuts. Every positive comment about Ron Paul lures those cretins out from their holes. That lets me know whose comments are less than worthless.
