You misread the sentence. By the way thank you for that error check, re. Pat..(they're 2 peas in a pod and I mix them up all the time)..I made the change..<BR/>But back to Dr. Paul..granted there are a few things (emphasis on few) that I probably agree with him on, but the greatest problem I have with him is his isolationist/nonintervionist bent and first and foremost his stance on the Iaq War. Because of that I think he's dangerous. I know he likes to claim he's not an isolationist, but non-intervention is part and parcel of isolationism. Had we intervened sooner during during WWII there would have been many lives saved. Same goes for various other conflicts. That is why I would NEVER vote for Paul.<BR/><BR/>And nothing wrong with not having a blog.

I think this is his form of protest. He just likes things that are new and different and the young crowd are easily moved into action when they have nothing else going on in their lives. I hope they just drift to another cause by the time the election comes. I think there needs to be more calls to action even if they are wrong.

You should be confident enough on your positions that you don't look like a nut. <BR/><BR/>There's a screwloosechange blog that debates the truthers, and I don't think those guys are nutty for debating them.<BR/><BR/>Sure, I agree that it would help Paul if he increases his distance from the fringe. He has stated several times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v60TWZNVgtk&NR=1) he doesn't believe the 911 conspiracy.<BR/><BR/>But, even if he doesn't distance himself, it wouldn't change the way he would run the country. White supremacists wouldn't conduct linchings<BR/>and Bush wouldn't be in jail for 9-11.<BR/><BR/>Also, what's wrong with not having a blog? Do I have to have a blog to post here?<BR/><BR/>FYI: You made an error stating "1. Buchanan has just officially endorsed Rudy G."

And the fact he's not dis-associating himself from his lunatic fringe supporters is like not denying your gay when your accused of being gay- if you're indeed not.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't want white supremacists endorsing me, even if I was salivating for more votes. Or the Truthers, then again, he kind of is a Truther himself.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-6468263584299324742007-11-09T00:50:00.000-05:002007-11-09T00:50:00.000-05:00WOMAN: We should be darlin, if he takes away vote...WOMAN: We should be darlin, if he takes away votes from the legit nominee. which is a very big possibility.<BR/><BR/>DEE: Well your little blurb inspired me. :-) I'll look forward to your take tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>I think we should be extremely concerned... Though I quoted "be very scared" half in jest, I *do* think we should be worried, for the reasons mentioned in my last paragraph. What concerns me most is even if he doesn't run third party.. with all his grassroot supporters... they'll write him in.. effectively taking away votes from whomever we nominate. And no it doesn't matter.. but he is obviously appealing to the religious right who happen to be anti-war. I wish they would wake up too!<BR/><BR/>HEIDIANNE: I haven't a clue either. On both cases. He won't get the nom, but he could help Hillary get the white house, by taking away votes.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-34816374201872144982007-11-09T00:36:00.000-05:002007-11-09T00:36:00.000-05:00Why don't debate his stances instead of attacking ...Why don't debate his stances instead of attacking his supporters as way to discredit Ron Paul.<BR/><BR/>It's like me saying you're Gay, because you have Gay friends - which doesn't make sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-8707242213461314212007-11-09T00:34:00.000-05:002007-11-09T00:34:00.000-05:00i can't figure out why people like this guy. but ...i can't figure out why people like this guy. but then, i can't figure out why people ever liked slick willy or hillary, either.<BR/><BR/>i don't believe he'll get the nomination, but it is frightening that he's building up speed...<BR/><BR/>thanks for the post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-4004757074668997922007-11-09T00:02:00.000-05:002007-11-09T00:02:00.000-05:00It is so ironic that you bring this up today.

I was just thinking some of the very same things and plan on putting it in my post for tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>I took my kids on a field trip today to a Lewis and Clark fort that is out in the middle of nowhere. We had to go through this itty bitty town to get there and there were 3 Ron Paul signs. After seeing this and the insane amount of money he is raising on the internet I am starting to get a little concerned. <BR/><BR/>Before I just dismissed him as so fringe like that he wouldn't take any decent people away from the Republicans if he ran 3rd party. But now I am more convinced than ever that even though he won't win the nomination he will in all probability run on a 3rd party ticket and because he's pro-life he could well take votes away from the Republican nominee especially if its Rudy. It doesn't seem to matter that he is a COMPLETE NUT JOB!!!!!!!! I wish people would wake up and use their brains.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-28847434434116796152007-11-08T23:27:00.000-05:002007-11-08T23:27:00.000-05:00a cult?..sheesh!..I am scared girl..LOLa cult?..sheesh!..I am scared girl..LOLWomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.com
