RP's honesty is, IMHO, the quality that makes him stand out from the rest. That and his firm grasp on Constitutional principals. His actions (voting record) are in line with his rhetoric. He's not simply trying to appeal to conservative voters by talking the talk. I found it very telling that, in the debate the other day, the "I'm more conservative than you" line of questioning stopped when they decided it was time to give RP some attention. IMHO he puts them all to shame.

Too bad the rest of the pols are not.

can't agree with ya more, Toad. I firmly believe that, if they could, the Founding Fathers would endorse RP.

torque... if you look at his real party... libertarians... you will see that he is the last person you would support. libertarians are the anti socialist. You may agree with him on the war but I doubt that there is much else you would.

BS.. I honestly don't care enough about the whole torture thing to matter... I want to see him introduce bills to cut taxes and shrink government and restore constitutional rights.

Yeah, Torque, there's so few good Americans left.

Only Canadians are good and pure anymore. Last of the breed.

I'm just cutting out the middle man this year and voting for either Forrest Gump or Satan himself. Since most candidates fall into either category.

Ron Paul was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, 30 Oct. pretty good performance, he was composed and confident. Got lobbed a couple softballs I think he could have answered differently, but all in all he got the message out.

from the interesting indicator's department, Ron Paul's book sales are skyrocketing.

Quote

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul’s new book, "A foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship" as of yesterday had sky rocketed on Amazon.com from No. 594 to No. 294. and made it to 22 on Amazon's Movers and Shakers list. The book looks like it may quickly become a best seller.

by whom? By Giuliani? Probably, he never took Ron up on his offer to give him a reading list... By the media? I think they're recognizing the concept of blowback, the friggin' 9/11 commission did, fer cryin' out loud...

moot · « **Reply #221 on:** November 02, 2007, 08:22:02 PM »

Well I guess it might be just as likely that he was asked that again (as likely as it just being bleeds-leads polemic bait), this long afterwards, as an opportunity for him to put any doubts about it to bed (for anyone who watched that debate and didn't realize Giuliani's BS).. he didn't shoot it down as well as he could have.

I wouldn't choose Ron Paul to be the Republican candidate solely for his isolationist position. I don't think that's viable in the world today. I am pleased he isn't pulling a Ross Perot.

moot · « **Reply #223 on:** November 02, 2007, 09:22:05 PM »

What isolationism? He says explicitly that he's only pulling out the troops. That he wants to do more commerce with the rest of the world... What's isolationist about that? Did I miss something?
In that Leno vid, his comment about the US not having anyone in the world to fear militarily is right. Who the **** is going to screw with the US? No one.

We would benefit greatly form some good old fashioned isolationism.

I'm for the Old Republic.

Boarders, Morals, Intelligence, Sacrifice, and Bombs as a last resort. But when munitions are called for, do it right.
