Ron Paul did not invent "limiting the federal government & protecting our sovereignty " those are well known conservative values and I totally support it.

He's the only Republican who has actually walked the walk though. His record speaks for itself.

Second, idiot Ron Paul is not going to win any primary, not even close. So I will keep laughing at you and all Paul supporters as I am doing now.

Paul is polling strong in N.H. and it's possible he could come in 2nd in Iowa, after Tommy Thompson. He has a wide, cross-section of dedicated supporters. Although he may not win the nomination, it's possible he could win a primary or continually place 2nd or 3rd and go deep, which will have an impact on the front-runner. The GOP would have to let him speak at the convention, and whoever's the front-runner would no doubt court Paul's supporters.

“Thanks for your comments. I too enjoy the fact that Paul is in the race, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from those who prefer to continue sucking on the government teat.”

I’m a standard issue Libertarian and he’s a little off the wall for my taste — but I do agree with some of what he says and, beyond my personal views, I think that all points of view should be heard and discussed. What’s the downside of listening to everyone? I even like having Gravely in the Dim race and hope that Nader joins the fray as well.

Ron Paul’s impact is non-existant.

He is an irrelevant expelling of gas which only the DBM has taken note outside the internet and then only for an effort to construct the illusion of “division in the ranks”.

Yep, the Republican Party is terrified that Ron Paul is going to be the party nominee

Keep in mind that the national GOP is scared of Paul. They have undermined him and cartblocked him in every one of his Congressional elections.

Paul has his own network of donors and he doesn't need the establishment's help. Perhaps instead of bashing Paul, the GOP needs to court him and co-opt a couple of his issues. Because if Paul's not in the race, who do you think his supporters are going to support? They're going to stay home or vote 3rd party as they always do since they feel they're not represented by either the GOP or the Democrats.

Apparently, FReepers have no problem with a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual liberal Mayor running as a Republican, but when a pro-Constitution Republican runs....HE’S A KOOK!

Yeah, that fair and balanced reporting we've come to know and love.

Well it is really not supposed to be.

Reuters picked it up from a Blog “Liberal Values - Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought”

But it is just the sort of writing they prefer.

Any thread with Ron Paul should be titled a Major Barf Alert. ;)

What’s amusing is that Ron Paul draws better than Hunter.

....is a “semi-barf alert” kinda’ like when the vomitus comes half the way up and then kinda’ goes back down due to reverse peristalsys?

Third.

[jveritas]

He is a Kook because he wants to surrender in the war on terror and he blames America for 9/11. He is not only a kook but also a defeatist and a traitor.
