Ron Paul in 4-way Deadheat for Iowa....

Quote from Grandluxe:

So tell me,
Why do white supremacists like Ron Paul? He tops every poll on stormfront and they are his most ardent supporters. Just go and see for yourself. For some reason, returning to the "constitution and freedom" somehow means to them they can do as they wish and start having the freedom to shoot and lynch blacks,jews,asians.

With supporters like these, is there any reason why Ron Paul should not be seen as a kook?

Millions of pedophiles and felons voted for Obama. Feel free to condemn Odumbo in your next post.

...


AAA had mentioned in one of his posts that the RNC has done a poor job at policing the debates to date, but imho, the other Republican candidates want Paul limited on time just as much as the Democrats.

You're no doubt correct. The other candidates more or less seem to have drunk the neo-con kool-aid. Bachmann is one possible exception. She strongly criticized Obama's Libyan adventure and his sending troops to uganda. She also has mentioned the cost of the various wars.

The others though seemed to have learned nothing from two disastrous wars, which got us basically nothing but cost us plenty.

So they certainly don't want to have Ron Paul explaining why this massive expenditure of money and lives leaves us less safe.

The problem though is that the media don't just censor Paul. A couple of the debates were ridiculous, with the moderators openly trying to get Romney and Perry arguing and ignoring everyone else. As the CBS email scandal made clear, it is a deliberate policy. They knew before the debate that they intended to exclude Bachmann from meaningful participation. Now granted, the republican establishment has almost as little regard for Bachmann as they do for Paul, but the principle is obvious. Do they really want the media to decide who gets to speak at a republican debate?

But she is one of the biggest hawks for war with Iran

At this point the media is trying to narrow the field and they seem to feel she won't cut it. So, our kingmakers have deigned to cast her aside.

I find it funny and hypocritical that in the last Presidential election, Obama was praised on his internet base's influence and prowess, but Paul is penalized by CBS on the same grounds, saying their poll results were skewed by his large internet following.

The contortions of logic which attempt to explain away Ron Paul's obviously strong support are approaching r-tard levels not seen since Sara Palin last spoke.

I don't know that she has ever actually said she would go to war. She has been very aggressive on this issue though. You are right about that.

It's a difficult problem. Probably the most responsible answer is to refuse to get into hypotheticals. At the same time, it is important not to suggest that a nuclear iran is remotely acceptable.

All the more reason for me NOT to vote for Odumbo.

Quote from Scataphagos:

Confirms how the Republicans and Democrats are not all that different. Two sides of the same Big Government, Liberal coin.

So you're essentially saying that republicans are liberals... ?

If you examine a politician's policies and then put a label on them (instead of believing what they choose to label themselves), you'll find that a lot of politicians' policies are liberal. A lot of people in America are swept up in the idea that there are two opposing sides, but really they're on the same side, opposing each other on how to implement liberal ideals.
