    Ron Paul = a breath of fresh air, quite potentially.
    I will reserve final judgment about his merits until I think a bit more. For now, I am ... Intriged.

    Though Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance, I'll be voting for him before I vote for Guiliani, Romney or McCain. If one of them get nominated, I'll write someone else in and let Hillary or Obama get elected president. I don't give a shit anymore...

    Paul's right on everything. He's right on abortion, individual liberty, gun rights, foreign policy, and who knows what else.

    My personal fav was Tom Tancredo though. The borders are a mess and Tancredo's the right guido to point it out.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    I write here during the summer b/c I don't have classes and I've got nothing better to do.

    Now that I'm 21 though, I'll be able to go to bars I suppose...although...I don't have much $$$

    Ron was on the Dennis Miller show. You'll be able to listen (at some point) here:

    you agree w/ his stance on israel and 9/11?
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    so, ffg (or anyone else who supports ron paul), why do you think he's dropped so much in the polls? do you think it was his comments about what helps cause things like 9/11?

    i didn't follow his numbers, or anyone's, too much then but it hought i rememebr before this he had a pretty good standing...then ppl started twisting what he said/meant and next thing you know he's not even listed anymore in the polls it seems...you got talkin heads like glenn beck misrepresenting what he said and meant and going on and on about how crazy he is and this and that...

    do you think those comments were the reason/ a part of it? do you think it is justified or ppl are believing the misrepresentations put out about him?

    "Dropped in the polls"??? What data are you looking at? Ron Paul is and has been at 1% in the real polls pretty much since the get-go. He's made little headway, but hasn't been dropping either. As far as web polls go, Ron is still destroying everyone on either side of the race. There's been no drop-off there.

    Certainly his words have been twisted, but that's also his own fault for not clearly eludidating the concepts. I don't think too many Ron Paul supporters are going to be swayed by Glenn Beck, but he certainly didn't help himself with other Republican voters.

    I don't think too many people are even aware of who he is. Go out into the streets and ask people "who is Ron Paul?". You'll get a vast majority of "I don't knows".

    The coverage he's gotten post-debate has been a double-edged sword. Certainly it's turned some people off, but it's also turned some people on. I think the misrepresentations are somewhat justified based on what he said, but at the same time there are lots of people talking about what he meant by his words and that's gotten some good airtime too.

    Paul is only partially right about the occupiers being those to blame for the suicide bombers. If you get right down to it, I think those people are 1 of 3 things, or all three things: 1) young, impressionable 2) disenfranchised (meaning no job or means to better oneself) 3) avengers of the death of a family member/friend.
    The occupation is a catylist for it, but it isn't the only thing.

    Dennis Miller, by his own logic, needs to be slapped around for being a threat to the country.

    Jeff who?? ..... ;):)

    Hey, hallowedscorn! It's been awhile! How are you? :) Oh, so Jeff is gone away, and not just avoiding my questions to him in the liberal libertarian thread? Does he not have access to the board? baraka needs him to clean out some space in his pm box.

    (sorry gue_barium - jeff aka farfromglorified)

    angelica, jeff does have internet access but it is slow and intermittent. he took his laptop with him and can dial in with his phone but he says its more trouble than its worth for casual access. i think he's just checking his email occassionally but is calling home everyday. what is a pm box???

    Thanks, hallowedscorn. :)

    His pm box is his private message inbox for this board. From my understanding, he sent baraka a debate-pm, and she went to respond but his inbox is full. She told me as her board liaison (;)), if I see him, to get him to clear that out.

    Jon Stewart: "...you appear to have consistent, principled integrity, uh, Americans usually don't go for that."
