(11/6) Which one of the following candidates should pro-life conservatives rally behind to defeat the liberal abortionists Hillary and Giuliani?
(Excerpt) Read more at freerepublic.com ...
The election is almost a year away and a lot will happen. I think Bush will blow the rats out of the water later and that the people running may be out by the election. Why don’t you put none of the above in the polls?
Why is FR excerpted on FR?
Silly - we don’t want to get sued by ourselves, now do we?
Where is Stephen Colbert on this poll? He is over 5% nationally and is pro-life and has always been pro-life!

Maybe old worn-out cowards are left out.
And he’s a freaking nut.
Maybe in the opinion of the pollster they don't consider Ron Paul conservative. I don't know that much about the guy. Is he conservative?
The antiwar moonbat Ron Paul is disqualified from any consideration whatsoever for president:
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
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.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, [RON PAUL,] and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.

Well considering the fact that Paul usually gets several times as many non member votes as member votes it’s the only way to keep it remotely accurate.
Ron? He's off co sponsoring legislation that others wrote. None of his legislation ever went anywhere. For a guy who claims he loves 'small government', he sure signed on to a bunch of bills.
Just for comparison of actual accomplishments in congress: Statistics: Duncan Hunter has sponsored 105 bills since Jan 7, 1997, of which 72 haven’t made it out of committee (Average)
and 10 were successfully enacted (Good, relative to peers).
Hunter has co-sponsored 894 bills during the same time period (Average, relative to peers).

Now take a look at Ron Paul, who claims many ‘accomplishments’
Statistics: Ronald Paul has sponsored 346 bills since Jan 7, 1997, of which 341 haven’t made it out of committee (Extremely Poor)
and 0 were successfully enacted .
Paul has co-sponsored 1876 bills during the same time period (Average, relative to peers)

The pundit from Little Valley, NY finds it amusing that the founder of Free Republic refers to himself in the third person.
;-)
Who cares where Ron Paul or Ralph Nader are on this poll?
I guess we could put Daffy Duck on the damn thing just to be fair to cartoons as well as other non entities which collectively have chances between zero and nil of ever being remotely important to the 08 election.
He should know that selling his non-interventionist foreign policy views to conservatives in today's political climate especially (2000 would have been a different matter, and I think he would have been #1 on this site, and would have captured the nomination) will not be easy, and that it would take more finesse (and less of what, to the untrained or politically green ear, appears to be no different than leftist moonbattery).

50mm agrees, but the bas**rd rarely lets me talk. He says I'm not cynical enough.
Who is Ron Paul?
Ron Paul could be classified as a Constitutionalist. He is Pro-life, limited govt, individual liberty, he wants declared war, he understands the monetary system is being devalued and is in danger of collapse with the Boomers oncoming retirement. He is the only conservative willing to speak truth to Bernacke on the Federal Reserve .. But he thinks that blowback is better handled by swift harsh strikes at the time of attack.. not war and invasions of other nations or keeping hundreds of thousands of troops in Germany, Japan, Korea, and all over the world. We need a defense— one capable of quick strategic strikes. Not an offense department, in my opinion
