SO YOU GUYS KEEP WATCHING FAUX NEWS AND CNN AND OF COURSE MSNBC TO GET YOUR LITTLE TALKING POINTS, AND THEN YOU CAN PAT EACH OTHER ON THE BACK AND TELL YOURSELVES YOUR NOT BRAINWASHED. WAKE UP PEOPLE
This is the first time I've been to this website and was appauled at the lack of courtesy and substance by many of the commentators. The first nice comment was from a Ron Paul supporter and the next intelligent comment, focusing on the issue, was also by what appears to be a Ron Paul supporter. Are the RP supporters the only ones with decorum and intelligence? Maybe I should take another look at him (I'm Independent)
Considering there are a lot of polls out there showing that nearly half of Iowa Republicans are still undecided;

That's just a small sample, it is still in the air, but whoever wins it there are still 49 other states to go.
Where have I ever said directly or indirectly that I would sit out the election? However, I could turn that back at you by asking you if Paul is not the nominee will you vote for the one that is? Many of your fellows have said they will not.
"I said he is the only one who CAN. " that IS an opinion.
In the case of radical or fundamentalist ( however one wishes to qualify or quantify it) Islam, we are staring down the barrel of religious war. If you do not understand what winning a religious war entails, I suggest you learn it, because it does involve murder, that is what you call it when those we call "defenseless" are slain is it not? They are fighting it to win, you can only fight and win religious wars by going "old school" (by old school, read ancient) with your warfare. Most Westerners don't have the stomach for that. You're intelligent enough to figure out what I am driving at, I believe.
On the surface of this comment it appears looney. That was his point. They have to dig hard and deep then twist his words So that the simple minds will think he is a loon. When in fact here is truth to everything he says. Comparatively he is the sanist candidate I've EVER seen. He is the most principled candidate in my lifetime. We can overlook mandating health care or ties to lobbying or all the other crap that is true about the others but if RP mis speaks he's outa here?
I guess the truth is "crazy" to those who fail or refuse to understand it. Ron Paul is a smart man who refuses to allow political correctness or this ridiculous idea that we must coddle israel to silence his message of truth. Ron Paul 2012!
Ron is right, You are just afraid to hear what he is saying. So you childishly photoshop a hat on him rather than even try to make sense of his words. The conservatives have proven to be as closed minded as the liberals when it comes to Paul. That is why we are in the pickle we are in. I researched and see where he makes sense although it may not have been presented properly or presented without enough explanation for the simple mind. We aren't looking for a perfect man. Just a true principled person that knows big government won't and can't fix big government. A person that knows we can't support being the 'American Empire' and a person that knows government and America is not what the current GOP is making of it.
The "name calling" goes both ways, it is just as prevalent among his proponents as it is among his detractors.
Addendum: For the record, an not a member of any political party. I am one of those "Independents" everyone worries about.

Don't know if you are aware of this about Rockwell or not.

If you are going to cite him and you are a Paul supporter, you should read it.
If Israel is attacked, Paul would do nothing. That's something that's so heinous, so despicable a trait that I cannot imagine that Ron Paul is part of the human species.
"99% of the people on this site are convinced that he's crazy and will not listen to reason anymore."
The problem is that Ron Paul's foreign policy cannot be defended. It is a suicide pact. That's why people call it crazy.
I understand what you're saying. Don't be in other people's business and maybe they'll pay less attention to you. But this is the real world. Jihad has existed before the US was around. Extremist Muslims bomb everyone that's different. To think that going away will make things better is not a statement that can be made with any logic or facts. The safety of Israel is a must. It's more than just the country and its people. It's the only place in the middle east that has democracy. The geopolitical landscape of the world will be altered for the worse if Israel goes down.
So everything Ron Paul stands for vis a vis foreign policy is lunacy for good reasons. It's not just something we say to put Ron Paul down. It's that there aren't any roads that will lead you back once you find out the true consequences of Paul's policies.
You have overlooked or chosen to ignore the fact that it cuts both ways. Paul cannot beat Obama with only the support of his backers alone either.
The "No Entangling alliances" is not a part of the Constitution or their oath.
This is the oath created by the first Congress;
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States."
The current oath was created and first used in 1884;
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
Neither the Constitution or their Oath says anything about "neutrality".
You are over-simplifying the issue, as is your candidate. Look at it from this perspective if you want simple. You give a person who purports to be a friend a helping hand in doing a good work, but it turns out they are a deceiver and betray your trust by using that help to carry out or facilitate actions that harm or even lead to the death of a loved one. How would you react? I know how I would and it would not end well for that betrayer. This is where people, like myself, differ from other Christians and perhaps yourself, we are able to place aside our Christian "values" and do what needs to be done and accept the consequences of our actions, by the knowledge that we have only God to answer to for our actions, even though the price we pay in this life is to dwell outside his grace. I have accepted this.
I don't know how the Obama administration is handling these so called "charities". I do know how past administrations have dealt with them, when they were discovered to be funding terrorists. We know how Israel has dealt with them.
Gingrich for president, he is the most qualified. His baggage doesn't matter, all politicians have baggage and it doesn't interfere with their politics.
Hi Bob,
Good to hear from you -
Unfortunately baggage is related to character
I am still waiting for all the "baggage" to be disclosed on ALL the candidates
These dopes should do their OWN research on themselves so they see the bombs coming their way
If they are not smart enough to do that - I wonder about their competence
I have not yet decided who to vote for - I suspect more crap is coming
Ciao!
There are some qualifications, it is not as simple as Paul's statements make it out to be. Many of these "groups" began life as charities in Gaza and the West Bank. As long as they were charities, building schools,hospitals and mosques, they were allowed and encouraged to a degree, however when they went "militant" all bets were off.
Matthew Levitt & Dennis Ross, Yale University Press, 2007, p. 24. “Scholars and historians on both sides . . . agree that from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s the [Muslim] Brotherhood benefited from the Israeli government's support of non-violent Islamist Palestinian factions, believing these groups would function as a useful counterweight to the secular nationalist Palestinian groups . . .”
Some info on HAMAS as it now stands;

As has been said before: Ronpaul is for every conspiracy except the one where Muslim's want to kill American (and Jewish) infidels simply for existing.
Good link >>
excerpt - "Hamas was established in 1987, and has its origins in Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood movement"
Where have I heard about that "bowel" movement before?
OH YEAH - The "new Egypt" that Odumbo created
Great job!
And you aren't obsessive as many of them are, trolling for arguments through the comment thread stressing out the whole community.
I'd say you are a good 'un, for now anyway ;-)
Paul for President of Planet OUTTHEReEIUS
No foil hats allowed - so you can get clear reception!
I want to type up some curse words directed at him right now but I am just laughing so hard at his moronic world views. What's he? An 18 yr old college kid? And he is running for the president of the United States? Gosh... LOOOOOOOOOOL~!
Thanks for the articles. I look forward to looking at them in depth. I still think this is new evidence that Paul has a blind spot for those who hate freedom and freedom loving people.
I have to admit you are the friendly Paulie out there. : ) I appreciate your arguments. I do hope that you will rethink Paul as President. He is radio-active and for those who really believe in small government ideas will only hurt their cause by making excuses for him. (I'm not saying you have...)
My computer must be messed up because I can't see this clip. Good thing though- I'd most likely throw something at it and then I'd miss all of you at the Right Scoop. Paul has GOT to quit his campaign.
Is there one Paulie out there who will admit that they were wrong about their "Messiah?"
