Ron Paul gets it: "We have been propping up the Saudis for more than 50 years"

[thereismore]

Wow. He is not a republican. He is using them as a vehicle and they know it but they can't do anything about it.

1. he most certainly is a republican

And he damn well isn't a Democrat.

[Progressive Friend]

11. He is a Libertarian (he was their presidential candidate in 1988)

Extremely right-wing regarding economics, but also anti-war.

2. Oh really. . .

'nuff said.

7. What we like about RP is how he's sticking it to the Repukes

Not that we like all that he stands for. It really isn't disputed that he's right about the war. What we "love" is how he tells that truth during the Republican debates. And that's it, nothing more. People also like Sen. Hagel's views against the occupation. Besides that he's way too far right.

'nuff said.

3. I thought he'd come out and say we overthre the iran government

And that's why they snatched our people during the Carter admin.

He talks so fast, I thought he'd be able to blurt out the whole CIA/Ike deal.

4. The spice... I mean the OIL must flow!

[pepperbear]

5. Ron Paul basically wants to privatize EVERYTHING.....

and with virtually no REGULATION; He wants to farm out the upkeep and maintenance of roads, schools, what little there is of our health care system, and every other aspect of public infrastructure to private enterprise.

Oh, and you'll still be paying taxes too. His ideas could work if he took human nature and the nature of capitalism into account, but he doesn't.

He's a true libertarian. I am so not fooled by his stance on social issues, or his isolationist leanings.

We don't want him in the white house.

[incapsulated]

6. Oh, yeah, he is a republican

Bet your bippy he is.

[Turbineguy]

8. The laws of probablility would tell you

you are bound to run into somebody who is both a republican and honest or right sometime. Even if so by accident. And even if that person is right or honest only once.

9. Ron Paul's a NUTBAG

Sure, he may speak some truth, but he's a repuke nutbag. How would you like to get bills to pay services he wants to privatize?

And any doctor who refuses to take Medicare patients is just scum. period. :grr:

[thereismore]

10. did he really refuse medicare patients? nt
