Islam is not the enemy. But I'll be damned if I'll vote for a man saying it's our fault. We did what we did in the name of stopping Communism. If that means we're going to suffer reprisals for it, so be it, but let's not forget why we did it or what we accomplished by doing it.

I don't think this is entirely fair. Given the opportunity, Paul would take the helm and drive for us, like a VW bus on the way to Woodstock. Given the opportunity, Trump would turn it down because even he knows that he is not fit.

Paul is campaigning for face-time, sure; however, he'd take the job.

Having lived through and personally remember how he's harmed elections in the past, any criticism of Ron Paul, no matter how harsh, is fair. The man is bat-**** crazy, and his loosertarian policies on prostitution, drugs, and the war, to say the least, are a ****ing joke. Trump actually does make a more viable candidate for President then Ron Paul or his son.

Categorically, universally, only a complete moron would support Ron Paul.

General groups are fair targets as per DP rules. But please, I would love to eviscerate Ron Paul in detail. Pick a topic.

I have no interest in any actual discussion with you. I seriously question your sanity.
 
I would vote for him under certain circumstances. I pretty much agree with everything he stands for, but he also says that states have the right to trample on my rights, which IMO, is worse than the FED protecting my rights inspite of a state's wish. He would also have to work as a force for social change and work to destroy the evil maximum's hold on society. Without the social shift, the only thing his polices would do is increase the speed of revolution.

That is a personal attack.

I did not issue a personal attack to you, nor will I now.

The invitation is open, any topic. I maintain that Ron Paul is a lunatic using the presidential election as a way to gain some face-time, nothing more. He's not serious, as Trump is not serious, on running for President, because he knows he can't ever, ever win.

I've come to understand he is merely running an educational campaign to try to pull people back to a form of government that is sustainable and decent. I wish a better speaker could lead the charge, but it is what it is.

You are only saying that because you don't want small government. You want large government in social policy and ... maybe empire.

Of course thats what hes doing. No sane person who actually wanted to win the presidency would expound his views. Thats something to say after you win.

If there's one positive thing which can be said about Ron Paul, other than his ability to raise funds, it's that the man is near perfectly consistent. He doesn't just say some random dangerously stupid thing and then walk away from it. When he says something retarded, which is quite often, he stands by it forever. Integrity is one of his virtues.

However, this means you can't count on him to bend to your 'circumstances' or other specific criteria.

See? I'm right, again. Ron Paul is not trying to win the Presidency, as I said. He is only making a mockery of the election process.

No hes not. He actually believes everything he says but he would have to be retarded to believe that he could win RIGHT NOW with those views. He a champion of real American conservationism. He could be a snake in the grass, say one thing, get elected and then completely toss it out the window and do what he really wants... Like every president for nearly the last 100 years.

Our full involvement in the Middle East for the past few decades has had little to do with Communism. Bin Laden already said why the United States was attacked. As long as we remain involved in the Middle East, recruitment by terrorist organizations will be on the rise. They want us out of their affairs. I think we should listen.

How exactly is running for the Republican Presidential ticket a mockery of the election process?
 
In my opinion, Ron Paul is the last person we need as president. My own political beliefs aside, I feel that the nation is in no state for what I'd consider a "radical" individual. With the Afghanistan war, the economic crisis, and the various other foreign happenings in the world right now (ex. Libya, Egypt, Yemen, etc.), we need someone who is less focused on the big ideas, and more interested in fixing the problems of our time.

I'm all for big ideas, and for big campaigns to essentially just make the world a better place. However, these things tend to fail, and right now I don't think anyone in the United States is interested in committing to campaigns like that when we have so many other problems occurring.

Ron Paul, although I personally don't agree with his ideas nor his policies, is someone who could be better suited to be president during peace time, when there is more room for exploration and testing things out. To reiterate what I've said, there is just no room for a radical president, whether conservative or liberal, right now.

Israel was behind 9/11 and yes I know what SF is its a forum for white nationalists/separatists etc its not a white supremacist site...just another bait word liberals use. If he did add duke as his VP he would get tons more support from WN's he already has it just go look at SF.

"White nationalist" is a code word that racists use to seem legitimate. stormfront (NEVER capitalized... they deserve zero respect) is certainly a white supremicist site. It's claims to be white nationalist is a fallacy. Just a bunch of racists trying to con folks that they are not... and those folks are too stupid to realize that we all know it.

Paul will never talk a racist as his VP, so Duke would never be on his ticket.

As far as Israel being behind 9/11, that's nothing but insane conspiracy theory crap spewed and repeated by racists and anti-semites. You really need to stop listening to the moronic garbage that they spew.

"He is not".....what? Consistent? The kook I accuse him of being? Making a mockery of the election process? I don't understand which claim of mine you're objecting to here, and as your objection frames everything else you say in your post, I'm likely going to misunderstand the whole post as well. So, I shall wait for your clarification.
