Paul’s doggedness in advancing the causes of individual responsibility and limited government could intimidate almost anyone who clings to the label “conservative” or “libertarian.” Perhaps that is why he avoids those abused designations and calls himself a “constitutionalist.” His philosophy is simple: “no government intervention, not in personal life, not in economic life, not in affairs of other nations.”

They’re still drinking the Koool Aid.
Who?
It makes you wonder when George Noory appears to be endorsing Ron Paul.
Scott McConnell founded The American Conservative with Pat Buchanan and Taki Theodoracopulos in 2002.......

i can’t stand george noory. he’s such a nut. unfortunately my insomnia gets the best of me most nights and i end up listening to his crazy ideas about 9/11 and stupid stuff. he’s ruined that show. you get the feeling he believes every loony idea that comes down the pike, without an intellectual input at all.
Better than socialism.
Walks the walk along with talking the talk.
You need an “I Luv Big Guv” sticker for your car.
If that is the case then he is most certainly not a constitutionalist. The constitution never has forbade government intervention in any of those things. I do believe the government should be reigned in and its interventions limited but what he suggests while it may seem appealing is just not the reality that has existed since the founding of this country. I would rather he advocate very specific roll backs in government largess rather than going off the deep end with a generalist philosophy that makes assumptions that are not and have never been true.

Admirable. But he still has some loony ideas.
Refreshing. That used to be the standard of conservatism. These days we have 'conservatives' advocating massive domestic policy spending, passing more legislation for what we as adults can ingest, and interfering in other nations that don't represent a threat to our borders.
And Paul has been in public office for many years...and is still not exactly fabulously wealthy.
I'm one and I don't. I sincerely hope he's defeated in the primary next year, or has the guts to not run for re-election while seeking the Presidency.

What is it that you don’t like? Not trying to poke at you at all. I really would like to know.
The Ron Paul folks are drinking the KoolAid as instructed and fiddling up a storm while Rome burns. Supporting any candidate who cannot beat the Democrat ( most likely Hillary or Obama) is just supporting the Dem. RP is a waste of time, energy, and money. The RP supporters have been programed to say that the other candidates are as bad or worse socialists as Hillary. Ya Da Ya Da... Bottom line is - support RP and elect a Dem. If they don’t mind Hillary or Obama they should put bumper stickers for Hillary or Obama on their cars. Because that is what they are doing. Oh by the way -for the RP folks who will attack my statements by claiming that I have never read the Constitution, I have.
