Or is "more of the same" the safe bet for candidates?
2007-11-28 13:41:12 · update #1
Of course "more of the same" is a safe bet, so is "I will change my view as often as necessary to get the most support."
Ron Paul has more balls to say what is needed, than the rest of the group.

Ya i wonder just what we Americans find so "scary" about the truth? Is it because we havent heard any real truths since Ronnie Reagan was president? We have been lied to and swindled and bamboozled by what six administrations now? Like being brainwashed we want to believe the truth is "real" but somehow the truth just doesnt seem right!
Wow Six!! count em SIX thats hard to believe!!

It's very refreshing to see a politician like Paul who speaks his mind and tells it like it is, instead of trying to be 'politically correct', and to schmooze and slander to get votes like the other politicians.
But as far as 'truth' goes, most Americans have been brainwashed for so long (by big govt. neo-cons), they don't know what truth looks like if it stared them in the face.

It's awesome!
You know Chi I am sort of afraid of what might happen to Ron Paul if he were to win. We all know what happens when even Presidents don't play along with the powers that be.
JFK. need I say more?

Yes it is very amazing. The question is, will they let him in? No matter what you think of him, we all know that he is a lot more popular among Americans then the polls are saying. He raised 4.3 million in 1 day, and on December 16th I believe it will excede even that.

Sorry, I don't find it amazing at all. Paul's a libertarian as am I. He's been saying this stuff for as long as I've known of him. What's amazing is that many who swoon over his foreign policy don't seem to get the rest of his message.

I do not understand how this guy can advocate defeat of the American Troops in Iraq and still be popular. I also do not understand how a pacifist could even be remotely considered to become commander-in-chief of the United States military forces, I furthermore do not understand how Ron Paul can validate or rather equal the attack of 9-11 because "They attacked us because we were in Iraq"......WHAT?!?! In case some were absent from class that day (Busy in the basement watching star trek re-runs or playing X-Box) The US didn't invade Iraq until AFTER 9-11.....I should know this not because I watch the debates, or read the newspapers...or even visit the Internet...I know this because unlike so many people who "Know" about the conflict that is ongoing in Iraq.......I was ACTUALLY there during the initial push into Iraq, and also just returned from my Second tour in December of 06...I can assure you the troops in Iraq want one thing and one thing only...........VICTORY.....not a time-line for withdrawal (or as we see it a time-line for defeat)

I really don't find what Mr. Paul says to be the truth. He certainly is getting a lot of boos though.
I finally heard Rudy say "Reagan" . He said he worked in something or other. I just can't like Rudy.

Chi, I agree with you. He has more guts than any of the others there. And he has experienced more life with COMMON people than any of those other bozos up there ever have!

It's great, especially since he's there in the (R) debates.
He's the sharpest of all of that crowd.
