Right On The Right

Holy sh*t. Did you just say the "business of governing"?

Do you read anything other than the Fox news propaganda? You are a sucker. You have been duped. Ron Paul believes exactly as did Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, etc. Read about it. Ron Paul is a hero and you can't see the truth!

George Bush's grandfather (Prescott Bush) supported and financed Adolf Hitler in WW2. His dad preached about a 'New World Order' that will merge all of the countries under a 'one world government'. It is happening now and you are supporting it.

Haven't you noticed that the USA standard of living is way down? 30 years ago one wage earner could easily support a family and live comfortably. Now it takes two wage earners to barely get by. Soon the USA and Mexico will have the same standard of living.

This isn't a joke. Hitler and Joseph Goebbels said propaganda can convince people of any lie. The new Nazis propagandists and liars have taken over the media and Have mesmerized the people. I use to be one of them. I use to think O'Reilly was good. But after extensive research I find the media is putting out a pack propaganda and lies and the people are falling for it just like in Nazi germany! Wake up! Read the truth. Read "WhatReallyHappened.com" and other real news sites before they are outlawed by your beloved Nazi buddies. SB 1959 is set to outlaw 'domestic terrorism' which means they will outlaw anything they want on the internet or anywhere else! Google 'SB 1959'.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."

- President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908

Uhhh...you DO realise that there is always less than 100% in a poll, right? Especially one like this.

you are just mad because he called Israel foster child,
& he called 1st gulf war ( not America's war but Israel's war),
you guys want the war in the middle east to continue for ever so that warmongers like you make more money.

Why don't you learn how to spell before you start calling a man with an MD from Duke University names? Idiot.

a 43-32 lead over Paul

Do your "inside sources" know what happened to the other 25% in that poll?

Jeez, does every Ron Paul supporter sound like a crazy old man yelling at teenagers to stay off his lawn? The kind of destruction McCain will bring to the Republican party is akin to the kind of destruction going on at the Orange Bowl, a controlled demolition of a decrepit and obsolete structure to make way for a modern facility. So buy some of the bleachers to sip your punch on and moan about bygone days and stay out of the way of the people who are serious about the business of governing.

I've been a Republican since I could vote. You were 8 then, I was in the Army.

I can't wait till you're end of the party dies off when McCain gets completely distroyed in the general election. Maybe then our party can get its head out of its 4th point of contact and throw the pro-war democrats out, because thats what all you neo-cons are. You all worship the military, but never served, you rail against welfare, but support spending $275 million a day in Iraq with no solid objectives except "staying the course" or "defeating the terrorists" and insist on "victory" except that you don't actually give a hard definition of what that is, or even who we are supposed to be beating. Meanwhile, people like my best friend die over there for nothing while you run your mouth on your blog about the only candidate that calls it like it is and you say I am not a Republican?

Sorry kid, but fuck you. You leave the party if you don't like people like me, it was mine first and I earned my right to be in it.

It's really sad that an actual conservative like Ron Paul gets vilified by his own party, while a RINO like McCain runs away with the nomination. If Paul loses his seat then who is next? Tom Coburn? Jeff Flake? Maybe you guys can get Joe Lieberman to run as VP. Hell, he's probably more conservative than most of the GOP. Is it any surprise that Republican primary turnout has been so dismal? Have fun getting steamrolled in November.

"...let the grownups handle politics"

Because y'all have done such a great job of it so far. Give me a break.

All the anointed candidates are preaching "change" but the one candidate that actually means change and can give specifics on the change he means is called "Batshit Crazy"

After 22 years, I'm done with the GOP. Turn out the lights.

Actually, in today's world, Ron is "crazy." Of course, anyone who actually wants true freedom is considered crazy. What sort of lunatic would take responsibility for themselves when they can have government protect them from themselves?

We Republicans are going to get shellacked in November of 2008. Instead of attacking the Paul supporters, we ought to be worried about Obama and trying to harness their enthusiasm.

Patriot Act
Spying on Americans
Undeclared Wars
Unconstitutional Spending

You neo-cons ARE the NAZIs. You blab about American principles that you don't even understand. You haven't read -- much less understood -- the U.S. Constitution. You're the friggin' lap dogs. You've screwed up conservatism to the point that you're basically old-school Democrats. You neo-cons make war, promote welfare, and print money. Then, all the neo-con lap dogs sniff each others' butts trying to figure out who's the alpha male (answer: It's whoever yells "WAR!" the loudest and longest -- I guess currently that would be McCain).

Idiots.

He is a (i) anti-semite nutjob (read his published newsletters - oh, that's right, for YEARS he didn't know what was in them. Gimme a break!!), (ii) a 9/11 "troofer," and, worst of all (iii) an egomaniac - NO ONE else, with his poll numbers, delegate numbers, and primary results, would have stayed in the race. Send his crazy ass packing - it's time for Ron "Batshit Crazy" Paul, and all of his batshit crazy, pot-smoking supporters to go home, light up the bong, and let the grownups handle politics. What a bunch of crackpot nutjobs.

So sad. So true.

Behold the power of the media over the blind masses.

I don't know anything about anything, but I heard this cool catchphrase: "Ron Paul is crazy." Heh. Sounds pretty cool. Can't really see why, but who can argue with "crazy?"

What if the media(i.e., the mouthpiece of corporations and the government) is building a simple mental association between two things (A) and (B)? The most basic propaganda ever. It works. One thing equals another. No supporting evidence required. Basic mental association and nothing more. It has a wonderful effect, though. It keeps a large percentage of the sheep from pulling a lever pre-associated with "craziness." The masses are too mentally lazy to do their homework. Mission accomplished. [Another easy example: Fox News is fair and balanced.]

So... remember kids:

A. Ron Paul is crazy. Don't ask me why, he just is.
B. Whatever you do, don't pull the "crazy" lever!
C. If you hear a patriot (tinfoil hatter) saying anything good about ol' Crazy, point and tell 'em they're crazy!
D. Don't think for yourself. People are paid well to do the thinking for you.
E. Everything is going to be ok. Grab a beer and get back to the game.

well maybe its his crazy FOLLOWERS (read YOU) who makes us think he is crazy......

What I find so disconcerting is that Republicans have been brainwashed into thinking "WAR" is a republican Ideal. All this war has done is created bigger government, killed 100,000's of civilians and thousands of Americans. "IF" the goal of the war was to win, why didn't we just declare war, win and get out? Cause the idea was never to win, the idea was to nation build.

I use to be a brainwashed neo-con until I realized that THESE SAME neocons supported international treaties that subverted our sovereignty (these same laws will enable the UN to TAX US!!!), allowed for open borders (more illegals have crossed our borders during Bush's reign than ANY OTHER TIME in history). The neo-con administartion has increased our national debt many times over... and THIS is what Repubilicans agree with????

Wake up Conservative Republicans - our party has been hijacked by special interets. They tell you that "islofascists" must be killed for the "us" be safe, WHILE OUR BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN!!!!!

C'mon fellow republicans, you aren't so easily brainwashed are you?

Its never too late to "get it" and realize that our party has been abandoned and subverted. Don't get on Ron Paul for being a true republican. Just takes a little reading to realize it.

Ron Paul or Bust!!!!!

TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

Batshit crazy? Please explain to us why Paul is crazy.

He serves on the House Banking Committee. He's read the Constitution, and thinks it is a good thing. He wants peace and prosperity through a sound monetary policy and a non-interventionist foreign policy. He believes in the rule of law. Nothing too crazy sounding there.

So, just exactly what would constitute crazy? Sirs, Justin Higgins, you obviously are as ignorant as you are incorrect. If something doesn't change for the better in this country, we are going to suffer.

Think of your families before you speak. If the economy continues on its current course, your family could be facing starvation, dismemberment even death at the hands of your own fellow Americans who could become so desperate as to kill you and your loved ones in order to feed their own families. Is that when you'll see that you are the crazy ones?

Think L.A. Riots x1000. People with nothing left to lose can do some really crazy things. Of course, in such a situation, foreign troops may need to be called in to "keep the peace". Crazy, huh? Just like $4.00 a gal. gasoline crazy.

Maybe that won't happen, instead China and Russia will just get sick of us and send us into history in an atomic fury. Just a couple of weeks ago, Putin said he would use a pre-emptive nuclear strike to prevent anyone from attacking their allies - read Iran. Only last week, the NY Times ran a story proclaiming that American Hegemony has been lost and that it is a whole new ball game.

Anyone with half a clue about history knows what to expect. Paul is attempting to keep those things from happening. What is so crazy about that? Oops! I almost forgot that you don't even have half a clue.

Maybe you are right, maybe he is crazy. Crazy enough to think that you care enough to stop worshiping a flag in patriotic frenzy, and just take a moment to remember what that flag stands for in the first place.

I still care enough to share with you, yet you will neither listen nor understand until it is far too late to do anything. You will wake up one day and ask, "Where did my country go?" and there will be nothing but empty silence. You were not deaf but just wouldn't listen when it mattered.

Pearls of wisdom thrown to the swines of the slaughter, I'd say.

Ciao.

Ronnie's batshit craziness wasn't widely known even in his own district until he and his Ronulans paraded it across the nation, now he's toast.

If he's truly serious about the presidential race, Congressman Paul will not worry about losing his seat in Congress.

He _is_ serious about becoming president, isn't he?

Ron Paul is only anti-republican if you turn a blind eye towards your party's own platform. Not only is Ron Paul the only acceptable heir to the legacy of Goldwater and Reagan, he is the ONLY Republican presidential candidate who is bringing people back into the party who were smart enough to realize that the Old Right had been replaced by the Neo-conservatives. He is making the tent bigger, and he is doing it by sticking to the true principles of conservatism and the Constitution (which ought to be the same).

It makes me so angry to see all of these so-called Republicans bashing Ron Paul. Obviously you haven't read up on your philosophy and you don't really know what a conservative is. That would explain why so many are voting for McCain. Instead of just calling yourself Republicans and Conservatives, why don't you try reading up on what that means before you slander the label of 'Conservative' by attaching your leftist, neo-conservative, big government, interventionist, unconstitutional policies to the name.

"Congressman Ron Paul will be pulling out of the Republican presidential race in advance of his home state's March 4 primary, The FDH Lounge blog has learned."

That statement is untrue and here is the source.

You fake conservatives are pathetic. Someone waves an eternal war in your face and you get so excited you lose all sense of fiscal responsibility and Constitutional restraint. Shame on you.

If any politician is truly against government power, he's going to have the kind of people you name behind him no matter what he does, whether he likes them or not. It's a signal, you know, like when the New York Times endorses McCain it's a signal about what McCain stands for.

If Ron Paul has as supporters the kind of people who despise the government, that just means he's on the right track. Having those supporters says nothing else about Paul. The exercise of determining what the NYT endorsement of McCain means is left to the reader.

If you guys were actually limited government conservatives, you would be backing Paul, because neither Huckabee or McCain are even remotely concerned about limited government.

I'm not even for Paul's stance on the war, but the most important thing we can do right now as a nation is get our own house in order by getting our government back under our control. It'd be nice to be able to save the world for democracy while we're at it, but free rainbows and puppy dogs for everyone might be nice too, while we're wishing.

nor luap dog shit by any other name still stinks.
supported by neo nazi's, holocoust deniers, and even some commies.

Well hell - Ron Paul was my representative until the most recent redistricting. I really hate it that I won;t get to vote for his opponent in the primary. Truthfully, I don't even care who his challenger is....

good maybe him and his nutty cult can move to Guyana

I don't hate Ron Paul. He is the only conservative left in the race and though he has many real good foreign policy plans I can't get my arms around his war stance.

If he ran as an Independent I would probably vote for him over McCain.

If he loses that seat in Texas he might run as an Independent.

BTW, I read he was not dropping out. He said he was not concentrating on anything but his district until after it votes. He might have changed his mind though especially with an 11 point deficit.
