He’s a flipping nut. He’s not grounded enough to be a Nazi or anything else that can be categorized.

He’s being taken seriously by too many. Because of inflation and bankers being associated w Jews. He’s being proven to be a real threat to not just the political process but societal order.

I guess racists don’t like being asked about their racists beliefs ... especially when he has been using the excuse that he didn’t read what other people were publishing over his signature making him either a fool or having no more talent than an illiterate.

I never thought I’d find FReepers so “concerned” about racism. Did Jesse Jackson take over the website from JimRob? Did Kweisi Mfume sign up?

What a fascinating change in outlook. It couldn’t be an orchestrated effort to trash a political opponent, could it? After all, only the ‘rats and the msm do that.

“He’s being proven to be a real threat to not just the political process but societal order.”

And a grave threat to the gop establishment. Oh the horrors.

Do ya think the lame brains that follow paul are sufficient in number to get past maybe a 2nd place in the Iowa buy-a-vote cheatathon? After Iowa he will fall on his face in any real Primaries.

If Iowa was a real Primary, actual voters would run from Paul and he would not be a subject for discussion.

“Stick a fork in him, he’s done.....”

Until he runs a third party challenge.

Agreed. But what gets me is to see all the “I’m voting for CAIN because he’s an outsider and a businessman”, now embracing ole Newt.

The ultimate insider life long POL, government money whore/Lobbyist.

Humm seems we have a few with Multiple Personality
disorder roaming the Web.

Yeah, he’ll get enough votes to do OK in early primaries, especially those in open primary states. Then his star will probably start to fade with the inevitable pile-on to secure the coronation for mittens. But that doesn’t much matter, the objective of Ron Paul’s gop campaign will have been accomplished.

Then he starts the third party run.

If he does that, you can stick the fork in this country, 'cuz the election will be handed to Obama on a silver platter, just as the Presidency was in 1992 when so many Republicans supported Ross Perot.

Supporting third party candidates on principle sounds great in theory; in reality it sucks!

“It’s Ron Pauls turn to get “Cained” now.”

Unlike Cain, Paul has been doing this for years. He never backs down and never apologizes. He stonewalls the press and eventually they get tired of asking the same questions. Voters either don’t care or don’t notice. The same thing happened when Rand Paul stonewalled the press on racial issues.

He claims that he didn't write them and he disavows their content. CNN asked the question and he answered. When a reporter keeps badgering a candidate in a disrespectful manner then it is time to end the interview. Especially when it gets ludicrous about making a million dollars off some poorly published newsletter that he didn't write.

Interesting observation. Maybe there’s a lesson for conservative candidates?

Only if the surrender monkey still has enough money to buy all the dope it is going to take to keep the potheads there until the voting is over.

RE: some poorly published newsletter that he didn’t write.

CNN’s badgering aside...

If Ron Paul really disavowed its contests ( the newsletter has HIS NAME on it and people associate it WITH HIM ), he should have KNOWN about its contents and put a stop to it long ago.

That he did not act at all sows doubts in people’s minds and I can’t blame them.

This kind of disavowal smacks of Obama sitting on Rev. Wright’s pew for many years and then telling us that he never heard him spout his anti-America rhetoric even once.
