    So another words support my candidate or we'll vote for Obama. That tells me they are liberals masquerading as conservatives. What better way to ensure Obama gets re elected!

    Clearly the best way would be to repeat the mistake of 2008......the nomination of a the Limp wristed Rino like John McCamnesty. Mitt Romney is the John McCain of 2012.......and the path to Obama's re-election....which is why the Democrat Party and the Liberal Media are pushing Romney so hard......that's their boy.

    November 2, 2010--The Largest Political Ass Whooping in History.......

    ......we know the path to victory. And that path doesnt involve nominating a bunch of limp wristed middle of the road Rino Republicans.

    Anyone who supports Paul's domestic policy isn't a progressive. Unfortunately, Paul has about 0 chance of accomplishing anything even if he won. I agree with him on many issues, the problem is he isn't a leader and isn't even really a politician. Nothing he says or does is going to be translated into anything other than some naive niche support.

    Status quo republicans have a monopoly on naivety...and on making broad assertions with no specifics.

    Live any way you like.

    Anyone who claims Obama is the same as the GOP and refuses to vote for the GOP nominee is a liberal.

    Absolutely because you guarantee an Obama win.

    If you can't see the difference between a republican thats not Paul and Obama you've got some serious issues to work out.

    Its called consistency.

    Nothing perplexing about it.

    I answered it easily.

    Now what.

    I'd be happy to share one example I witnessed tonight. While being interviewed on Fox News, Ron Paul was asked to address a comment he had written in the 1980s about AIDS. Something along the lines of "People with AIDs are victimizing us with their medical costs". Instead of clarifying his position and on a number of other potentially controversial positions, he stumbled said something about socialism and looked awkward.

    Now, I understand the reasoning behind that comment. Socialism creates what's called moral hazard where the cost of an individuals poor decision making is displaced to responsible individuals. You cannot have moral hazard in a free society. A good example of this are laws requiring individuals to wear motorcycle helmets because of the medical costs that are self inflicted by reckless drivers.

    Now I also prefer a free society and Ron Paul is technically correct. However this is not something that the general public understands and is a position outside of mainstream thought.

    When challenged Ron Paul failed to articulate his position and came across as a nutter who hates people with AIDS. He does this quite often.

    Thomas Sowell endorsed Newt, for what it's worth.

    You know the LRA are not as bad as AL Qaeda, but both are still terrorist groups.

    Similarly, Gingrich/Romney is not as bad as Obama, but both would drag America down into the gutter.

    By voting for anyone less than a real Conservative, you are destroying America.

    You, not the Ron Paul supporters, are what is wrong with this country.

    Coming from a die hard far left liberal like yourself, I take that as the greatest complement you can give.

    The very fact you would support Paul going third party only makes my point for me.

    Thank you for being so painfully transparent.

    Texmaster,

    I'm glad you created this post. The responses I'm seeing are mostly just sarcasm and derogatory barbs, but not much of a response to your point (not that it surprises me). As for the above referenced post, I completely agree and it seems odd to me that most of the candidates seem to have such a problem with things that they knew would come up. Cain should have suspected the sexual harassment claims would come up. Newt certainly knew many of the things against him would come up, but Paul has looked ridiculous in articulating his positions and namely dealing with his newsletter issue. To sit there and just deny you knew anything about a publication that had you name on it for 10 years is absurd. Personally, I don't care about it as the media is more about character assassination than they are at addressing the issues. With that said though, Ron Paul has done a lousy job with it. And even though Ron Paul is at the bottom of the list for me of people I would vote for on the Conservative side, I would vote for him over Obama. I too get tired of the "if I can't get my way, I'm going to take my ball and go home" mentality.

    I am a die-hard SOCIAL Liberal. I'm to the Right when it comes to economics and government.

    IE a Real Conservative.

    You Neo-Cons are fake conservatives. You are nothing less than big government, big corporation, big war shills.

    The only candidate I will vote for is Ron Paul. He is the only Constitutional candidate in the race.

    The fact that you would vote for a candidate simply because they are not Obama even though they are a big government globalist statist (Gingrich/Romney) shows just how much you hate America.

    You are really no different than Obama: No Principles and All Hate for America.

    My vote is mine, for me to not vote for what I think is best for this country, and vote along party lines, is in my opinion treasonous to the country I love.

    I will be voting for Paul, I dont care what label he flys under in Nov, Democrat, Republican or Third party. Because party means nothing when the future of our country is concerned.

    Voting for the lesser of two evils is absolutely retarded, this is not a team sport, I don't care which label wins, I only care about the political positions of the person I am voting for.

    HAHAHHAHAHAHA Now that is funny.

    You are a DIE HARD OBAMA SUPPORTER.

    Don't make me embarrass you by producing the quotes.

    Find one post of mine where I ever identified myself as a neo con or supported big government, big corporation or big war.

    Put your money where your lies are.

    Another lie. You are an Obama supporter and if you continue this lie I will provide the quotes that prove it.

    Yes genius. Because I know Obama must be defeated I hate America. How very liberal of you....again. :)

    no principles and hate America. Care to back up that lie as well?

    Then you back Obama. If Paul doesn't win the election and you claim to believe in his principles and he doesn't get the GOP nomination and you vote for him knowing he could never win you might as well vote for Obama.

    I voted for Paul in the 2008 Primary and refused to vote in the Presidential election.

    I defend the President when people call him out for ridiculous false bull(*)(*)(*)(*), and I did the same for Bush.

    I can produce quotes of that as well. You've been a member of this site for about 5 minutes, so I'm pretty sure you haven't bothered to do your homework on me.

    If you are willing to vote for Romney, Gingrich, or anyone besides Paul in the race right now that is exactly what you support.

    Provide quotes. By all means. I'll provide context and show how dumb you are for listing them.

    If are willing to vote for Gingrich/Romney/etc. then you must hate America because they will destroy it just as assuredly as Obama.

    Vote for a lesser evil.

    It just proves you have no principles and are willing to see America burn just to satisfy a political grudge.

    No, to support Obama would be to put a check next to his name on the ballot.

    If Ron paul splits the vote, and Obama wins because of it, its merely a symptom of our broken two party system.

    I will not be guilted in to voting for a big government, socialist, pro war candidate, no matter what party they represent.

    Exactly.

    This is what Tex doesn't get. In order to get rid of Obama, he's thinks he's saying:

    "I support the lesser evil."

    But he doesn't realize that he's actually saying:

    "I support evil."

    It doesn't matter if its lesser or greater. It's evil.
