Love the guy or hate'm (we have plenty of both in here), you've got to admit and respect the fact that Ron Paul is a straight shooter. I had a good laugh at his response to Dan Abrams on the endorsement from Bush as it wasn't the answer I was expecting! lol

The reason he has the support he does is because he's the anti-Bush. Bush and his neocon cohorts have failed America miserably.

Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad." -- James Madison

Ron Paul isn't anti-Bush. Ron Paul is simply the only person in Washington D.C. who obeys the law. Therefore his policies are in opposition to Bush's policies which are anything but Constitutional.
I can't remember who said this before, but for the majority of Americans today (well let's say a year ago before Ron Paul started spreading liberty) had to choose a platform of Jefferson vs. a platform of Stalin, most would end up supporting the platform of Stalin today. It's big government vs. liberty.
Boy did I have my head in the sand close to twelve years ago when the Republican party made their push for control of congress and of course the election of GW. I kept thinking this was a movement toward smaller government etc. etc.
Yes I was listening to blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and I believed that finally our country would be governed by people with some good sense and responsibility. GW was the man I thought. He was my governor at the time and as far as I was concerned represented me well as a governor. His performance as president and my buying into ideas of morons like Rush Limbaugh has been one big letdown.

shortie,
I too was a very hardcore neoconservative about 4-5 years ago. You know, the kind that thinks that party does no wrong, that the party establishes what is right vs. wrong. The kind that simply votes party ticket and wouldn't even THINK about voting for anybody else.
Discovering the FairTax showed me that Republicans were just like Democrats and that was the beginning of the freeing of my mind. I left the GOP and registered with a true Constitutionally conservative party being the AFP (www.AmericaFirstParty.org) but now I'm BACK to the GOP and very proud to be a Robert Taft/Barry Goldwater/Ron Paul Republican!
I was listening to Cspan this morning and a man was just kind of going over the candidates stands. He mentioned during the debate that when the question was asked about supporting the republican candidate that was nominated, both Paul and Tancredo said they would probably consider a third party. I was so overjoyed. This is what I wanted. I want Tom and Ron to both get out of this mess. If they joined forces I would be even happier.

he's the anti-Bush.
Exactly, RP's message is 180 turn from Bush. He's against the war, against nation building, against big govt...etc

Ok Cspan apparantly added to what was said. MsBobby said they didnt actually say anything about 3rd party, just that they would not supported the nominee in the republican party. You cant trust what anyone says. Geeesh...
Go to The Official Ron Paul Canditate Thread. I posted a link where you can read the transcript of the "debate" on MSNBC the other day. I also copied the statements directed toward Paul and Tancredo about supporting the Republican nominee. I heard what was said in the rerun of the depate that night and read what was written in the transcript. Maybe I am not comprehending the two candidate's comments, the way I understand is the two did not say a positive "no" rather they pointed out conditions that would warrant non-support.
It was interesting reviewing what was said in the transcript. I have thanked MSNBC for the one on one interview with Ron Paul as noted in the video in this thread. Paul was certainly not afforded much opportunity to speak in the debate.

Now that was a very good and decent interview. He gained credit with me.

Well, Shortie, you had lots of company, me included! The beach must have looked like a sea of butts in the air. My mother used to warn me about what was happening, but I thought she was off her chump on this topic. I should have known better!

I have never laughed so hard at an interview before.

if the "EX" mayor of NYC or Billary get in office we are all doomed . I just wish the "People" could see it . Isn't all this crazy mess now with "Illegals" & the Mexican gov telling us what to do enough to wake you'll up ?? txs 4 the vid of a True American

Nam Vet 1967/1970 , 29 months there 4 a group of war profiteers . Skull & Bones can KMA
More and more people are seeing it. I don't believe Rudy will carry New York , much like Gore didn't carry his home state . The people in New York are a little fired up at present over politics in general considering the governors attitude to illegals and Rudys illegals policies having been a carbon copy for the city , along with his failure to the fire and police departments which caused so many deaths in the events of 9/11 . It is a matter of time , and GWB has nearly given his support to the Clinton(S) anyway to continue NAU and other world organizations the Bush(S) have favored .
Vote Responsibly and if you don't vote don't complain around me .
