Leave. Just go.
Mr. Paul, you are NOT a Republican. You may have views that intersect with some aspects of the Republican platform. That does NOT make you a Republican.
The Republican Party is a big tent movement. We don't apply nearly the same strictness when it comes to tests of ideological purity as the Democrats do, but we still have some standards. And you, sir, do not even come close to meeting them.
People who blame America for the acts of war made against it are not Republicans.
People who think that we blew up our own buildings on 9/11...or who hint that we might have...or who attract the support of people with such beliefs...are not Republicans.
People who may be receiving secret funding from George Soros...and who certainly receive energy and succor from radical leftists...are not Republicans.
People who have become the darling of, and the recipient of support from, America's neo-Nazis and white supremacists---and who refuse to openly repudiate that support---are not Republicans.
And people who publish racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-American newsletters...are not Republicans.
Oh, and your protestations of innocence regarding this racist, anti-Semitic, anti-American newsletter to which you attached your name are absurd. As Jonah Goldberg said yesterday on the Michael Medved show, if...

Maybe they should start a Moonbat Party. Paul and Kucinich could fight it out for the '08 nomination.
Exactly.
If Paul supporters had any sense they would have realized a long time ago that if they REALLY wanted smaller government and federalism than Thompson was the man. Who knows maybe some of those supporters will wise up, but I won’t be holding my breath. The one’s I’ve talked to are still defending the guy...unbelievable!
McCain is problematic, for sure. His voting record is mostly conservative, but he has stabbed conservatives and the GOP in the back several times. Factor his voting record (83 lifetime ACU rating) with his annoying “maverick” behaviors, and you still get someone who occupies far more of the GOP’s ideological space than Ron Paul ever will. Paul has the small government thing going for him, but that’s about it. I’d rather have Thompson, but I’d take McCain over Paul any day.
Seriously. Paul is closer to the Republican platform than these four and 90% of the idiots we have in Congress.
Perhaps the leading candidates could echo this brilliant post. If Paul is so repugnant they should come out explicitly against Paul’s and his supporter’s racism against minorities and seek to bounce Paul and his 10% out of the party. Those few thousand won’t be missed and think of the millions who will look to the GOP as the true saviors of America. Just an idea, maybe you could e-mail your post to the campaigns.
What about Giuliani, Spectre & Snowe?
A lot of folks wonder how much Soros money is going to his pals McCain, Rudy, Romney, Huckabee and Thompson.
They’re all in the club with him.
Does the Klan still have its own political party?
I second that. Get out, Paul!
As much as I disagree with the Rudy McRomnabee’s of the GOP they are far better men than Ron Paul is. At least they don’t draw most of their support from neo-Nazis and other hate groups. If I thought Ron Paul represented what the GOP ought to be, I’d leave the party. Even the Democrats would give us a better president than Ron Paul.
It isn’t. And that is not his intent. His intent is to avoid wars. Which in this case is utter stupidity, IMO.
But,
Is Rudy pro-life? no
Is Rudy pro 2A? no
Is Rudy against Kelo? no
Is Rudy remotely conservative? No
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of them....If they do not look like, talk like, walk like, dress like, etc. President Bush, they all need to go. That seems to be the logic of some. Get rid of the big tent and replace it with a pup tent.
Agree.
Ron Paul proposes that our military be destroyed? Are you sure about that?
ping
They aren’t better men than anyone.
