Is it just me or is Ron Paul the oly republican that makes sense?

Question

I was a republican, when the republicans were liberitarians, now I guess I am an independent, leaning democrat, unless Ron Paul wins the nomination, which does not seem like it will happen

Answer 1

The only "honest" candidate from both parties.

Answer 2

Yes. The others are either calculating opportunists like Giuliani, or just batsh*t insane like Tancredo and Brownback.

I've watched all the Republican debate so far, and each time its a painful experience. Ron Paul is the only one who tells the truth and makes some sense.

I'm supporting Mike Gravel, but Ron Paul would be my second choice.

Answer 3

ron paul is to the republican occasion what the Blue dogsa re to the democratic occasion- a liar and a hypocrite who does not have the moral intwegrity to connect the occasion of his convictions. he has extra ability and status as a republican than he could ever have as a Libertarian, his genuine homestead. he's so a consumer-friendly the thank you to the the superb option he's purely approximately a liberal.

Answer 4

Ron Paul is kind of the kick in the pants republicans need, but since he is going against the team he is being told to pick up his ball and go home. I do think he makes sense, and he is right in the fact 9/11 was for us being in the holy land of islam, and they are still angry about it...how would we all feel if some Islamic country put a military base close to the Vatican?

Answer 5

You must be a true Goldwater Republican. Just like Ron Paul.

Answer 6

No. No way. And I'm a registered libertarian.

In a world at peace, he'd be my guy. But in a world where we are at war with Islamic fundamentalists?

Yeah, bring all the troops home right away. That's a great idea! Nevr mind that slaughter and chaos that will happen in Iraq, that the USA will have caused by our invasion and toppling of the gov't, and then suddenly leaving. Never mind that the Islamic Fundamentalists will take over Iraq, use it's oil revenue, and then support and sponsor Islamic jihad all over the world. Never mind that the USA will have demonstrated to both our allies and enemies all over the world that the USA can't stomach a fight, and will quit after only a few thousand casualties.

Do you think those are positive things?

We have to leave some sort of stable gov't in Iraq before leaving, that will not support terrorism. To do otherwise, will be sheer folly and will only bite us in the *** 5 or 10 years later.

Oh yeah, I guess he won't have any trouble with Iran getting nukes either. Now there's a pleasant thought.

Answer 7

Sounds like you don't know what you believe. It's not about individuals, or even specific policies.

It's about an overall philosophy. You must not have one, or you wouldn't switch party affiliation.

You should try to settle on one. It would make things easier, and hopefully, it would make Ron Paul sound like the kook he is.

Maybe "kook" is too strong; how about "unrealistic"?

Answer 8

Ron Paul is the best choice for republicans

Answer 9

Ron "the libertarian" Paul makes no sense at all. He would be a threat to U.S. National Security. He would destroy America. Ron Paul's fifteen minutes of shame are over, and he will not come close to the primaries. Anyone who blames the U.S. for 9-11 instead of the attackers, has no place running this Nation.

Answer 10

It's you..... he is a libertarian he is a nutcase

OK I should rephrase that...He give libertarians a bad name like Bush is giving the Republicans a bad name.
