You are wasting your time here. A form of political dementia has overtaken FR, and rational discussion of candidates is not allowed.

The story is absurd - John Connally and Ron Paul allegedly “knew”, which on its face ought have been a warrning sign that the story was bogus. At the time of the story, Texas was still firmly under the control of Yellow Dog Dems. If something like this had been true, the Ds - especially the unions in RP’s district - would have made sure he was run out of office or investigated and indicted.

I used to live in that district and I have worked at a chemical plant there for Brown and Root, worked on my father’s shrimp boat and other things, I wasn’t aware of much union presence.

“You are wasting your time here. A form of political dementia has overtaken FR, and rational discussion of candidates is not allowed.”

You got that right!

I find myself just sitting here staring at the screen in disbelief anymore.

It’s as though the obvious fact (all the choices suck) is largely ignored, but what the heck? Let’s have a game anyway!

And the level and degree of venom is unreal.

Aticles like this one would have been laughed offline not so long ago. Now they are clutched at immediately in a blind frenzy to club “the other guy”.

What’s lost entirely is an semblance of conservative thought or philosophy at all.

Sad day when this is what the supposed “right” has come down to.

If you’re unhappy with FR, take your liberaltarian rear to Screwy Lewy Rockwell’s crappy sites or go whine about the “Zionists” over at the Daily Paul.

I would like to applaud you for post #24. (I was going to say hug, but I didn't want to freak you out, haha!)

As for this thread, I see a certain person still has his obsession going. *rolleyes*
