It's a very popular myth lie, especially among members of the Billy Jeff Legacy Maintenance Society.

I disagree with that but you might be right. Obama is anti-war though too, keep in mind.

On Foreign policy my concern there is getting involved in wars we should not be. While I do disagree with his view on Iraq, I think that the initial impulse of any leader should be to not go to war. But only after careful consideration.

The impulse to get ourselves into permanent foreign entaglements should be resisted.

Yes, I’m aware Obama is also anti-war .. but he’s a much milder candidate whereas Ron is a radical anti-war and therefore suits the radical anti-war crowd.

Still .. Ron will be lucky if he pulls 5% .. because the right wing of the “right” is not going to be allowed to govern the “majority” of the right; unlike the left.

Hey, I've got news for you. If Giuliani or Romney end up as our nominee, there's at least a 50/50 chance I'd vote for this guy in the general.

There's a 0% chance I'd vote for the other two.

And yes, he would pull a lot of pro-life conservatives with him.

[Antoninus]

Very few republicans will support this double talking bottle head frail senile man with Elmer Fudd features and a feminine lisp to lead the most powerful country in the world.

Don't be so sure. If our candidate ends up being Abortiani or RomneyCare, Paul could get 20% in the general election. And Hillary could win it with 42% of the vote.

This sort of supports my allegations about the Paul campaign.

Ron already said he’d take money from anyone and everyone. That amounts to probably a few thousand out of 8 digits he’s received. Soros I’m sure only sees this as a chance to break up the Republican base no doubt but I think that will fail. Only if the nominee is Huckabee or Guiliani will that happen.

[CyberAnt]

I agree .. Soros has evil intent - while Ron is just accepting money from anybody.

The only problem I have with that .. when you accept donations from just “anybody” - you can often obligate yourself to people who you would not normally associate with. And .. if you don’t listen to their ideas, etc., you risk them withholding any further funds.

It’s a slippery slope!

It shows me that Ron is only interested in winning .. but not for the right reasons.
