Hilarious to me, that nobody in the entire WORLD, can find a reason to dislike Ron Paul other than these newsletters.
Well, apart from his monetary policy, his economic policy, his attitude toward the Civil Rights Act, his attitude toward pretty much any amendment past the tenth (and especially the 14th and 16th), his attitude toward Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and

Hilarious to me, that nobody in the entire WORLD, can find a reason to dislike Ron Paul other than these newsletters.

We all know about them, and what was in them. Ron Paul did not write them, did he know about them, did he possibly agree with SOME of the opinions AT THAT TIME? Probably.

Truth is, he isn't racist now, and he has no weaknesses.

Ron Paul will

All I know is that I was saying "Boooo-urns".

I want Paul to stay in the race. I hope he goes full-blown Ross Perot for absolutely no other reason than to fuck up the Romneygrich. I want President Obama to win by more and am actively hoping that he lays a pounding on the GOP as bad as the one Reagan laid on Mondale. If this happens because some gold-standard obsessed

I keep hearing about how bad it is that Paul only wants to leave the war on drugs to the states. I don't know much about the drug war, so I'm genuinely asking:

Wouldn't that still be an improvement?

It seems to me it would severely curtail the war on drugs outside the US (Which could be a bad thing, I suppose). And at least a few states allow medical marijuana,

I was in the middle of an IM chat with Mr. Awesome and said, "Hang on, I should post this link about how Ron Paul is racist," and he replied with something like, "Didn't we figure this out in 2007? Are you going to post an article about how the gravitational constant is the same? Are you going to get on the ball about how McDonald's makes boring shitty food for obese people

In the novel, Ron Paul would be using the money he gets from hate groups to fund a covert and subtle neo-nazi destabilization program and laughs quietly at the public for doubting his resolve (but not saying anything about it) while undermining the feasibility of the continuing function of said hate group, having taken all their political walking around money as payment for decades of hateful

Possibly but I feel you're not exactly considering context when you make this statement.

Ron Paul's pandering to racists HELP him politically and financially - at least in Republican politics. In this case, he's just like every other politician. We don't really know that Mitt Romney is genuinely against 'Obamacare' or that Newt Gingrich doesn't believe in

2012-01-29T11:22:21.512-05:00
Look, none of this changes the fact that if you don't see a moderate Democrat as being just as bad as a guy who wants to restore the Articles of Confederation, you're a mindless O-bot. I mean, you have to be pretty in the tank for Obama not to see that not applying the Bill of Rights to state governments is the kind of principled civil libertarianism this country needs.

If Ron Paul is willing to pander to racists just because they give him money, it stands to reason that his support of drug legalization (nationally) and tacit acceptance of Truthers is also disingenuous. It's not really possible to know what he actually thinks about anything.

Hey, I'm against militarism, too! In fact, I'm against it *so much* that I'd prefer not to have the position discredited by being popularly associated with an unbalanced radical who panders to stormfront types for fun'n'profit, thanks very much.

I really dislike Paul for a lot of reasons, and I think as president he would do more harm than good, but I want him to stay in as long as he can. Whatever havoc his actual policies would reap on America, right now he's nothing more than a mouthpiece for ideas. He's the only candidate willing to talk about the things the others won't. Do I want him to be president? Fuck no. But I want

I see you haven't read the website you're mocking. Par for the course. Apart from your spoon-fed idiocy about debts and deficits, nothing you've mentioned is celebrated here, and much of it is castigated. Go beat your tiny stupid fists against some other wall.

Ha! Nice try. You are a political party operative shill (the worst kind of scum in the American political sphere). If this isn’t a (D) blog, then f*cking prove it. Write something scathing about Mr. President. And not one of those “oh he has no backbone, he doesn’t stand up to the Evil GOP” rebukes, which in reality

Poe's Law, indeed.

That would be a really excellent point if this were a (D)emocrat blog or if Paul's opposition to the War on Drugs was total and not only federal. Which means, via states' rights, that he tolerates the 50 individual Wars on Drugs. All of which are currently happening. Now. You idiot.

2012-01-27T12:51:51.060-05:00
So Paul is (probably) a racist. And a liar. He won’t be President. Let’s move on to other things.

Like how (unlike Ron Paul) Barack Obama has continued, and stepped up, the single most racist policy of the government – the “War On Drugs.” Looking forward to that article which will never happen because he has a holy (D) next to his name and that’s all that matters GOP LOL amirite!?

Is this a textbook example of Poe's Law?

***

Paul is yet another cynical Reichwing WASP whose soul has been replaced by an accountant. He is a "Libertarian In Name Only" who has been able to trick certain segments of the American public into mindless worship.

On one level, I salute his success. He's played those morons like a fiddle. Bravo,
