    You can prattle your one-trick pony of a retort all day if you want, but it's still nonsense.

    The thread is unnecessary as Paul will not be a factor in the election. His racist ties won't be needed to make him ultimately irrelevant.

    I have not seen these racist ties you refer to.

    Can you post them for us?

    What a bunch of bunk! Now, you are responsible for the beliefs of anyone that supports you? This is rich coming from liberals who don't take responsiblity for THEMSELVES, yet alone anyone else.

    Hahahahaha!!!!!

    Isn't that what conservatives do with Bill Ayers?

    Keep laughing. Beats crying.

    Huge difference!!! Obama SUPPORTED AYERS by kicking off his campaign at his HOUSE! Ayres wasn't just some random stranger giving money to his campaign. If you don't see the major difference, there is no help for you.

    I asked you to post a copy of the racist ties but you fail to do so.

    What are you waiting for?

    You didn't ask me. Not my thread. Don't want to respond to my post? I don't blame you.

    On the contrary. Ayers supported Obama, and you know this. That is the point of a fund raiser. To financially support the candidate.
    This wasn't even a good try by you.
    Seriously.

    I'm still waiting for you to post the evidence against Ron Paul.

    Don't you have anything to back up your claim that he's a racist?

    Yes. I suggested the racist ties are completely unnecessary. I don't care a fig about them. Paul is going to, once again, be a footnote in the campaign.

    You said he had racist ties without - it seems - knowing what you were talking about.

    Mac, get it together. I said I don't care. He's a non-entity. I made no such claims. Not sure I don't agree, but I didn't claim it.
    I DON'T CARE.

    Since you really don't know maybe you should have inserted the word "alleged" into your first post.

    As in "alleged by Obama attack dogs."

    OTOH

    Obama's racist ties are irrelevant b/c of the color of his skin

    To suggest that the issue will ultimately be irrelevant. Paul will only be a factor if he runs independent and helps to split the Republican vote and re-elects the president.
    In the Republican primary, he is irrelevant, so the "alleged" racist ties will be unnecessary.
    Does that sit better with you?

    Ron Paul has to jump two others to win the GOP nomination but that does not seem impossible to me.

    He still has time and he has a message that is appealing.

    Defend what issue? Oh wait, the same bull(*)(*)(*)(*) that gets brought up every election but never sticks to him?

    You're simply respewing the same garbage most likely coming from GOP operatives.

    Good job parrot.

    wrong, ron paul's racist newsletters won't go away no matter how much he lies about them


    "When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the product. For over a decade, I have publicly taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name.
    I'm sorry, but no. This simply doesn't wash. I don't doubt for a moment that Paul doesn't sincerely regret the contents of over 15 years of assorted newsletters that went out under his name (he published several different ones) -- and presumably, under his ownership and for his own profit as well.

    But even the most abject apology doesn't address the larger question, which is: How do people expect a man who can't exercise basic oversight for a lousy monthly newsletter to take full responsibility for the entirety of the government of the most powerful nation on earth?

    Since libertarians are supposed to be all about running the government by the standards of private business, let me clue you in on how this kind of lackadaisical failure-to-pay-attention goes down in the private sector.

    If somebody goes into court to get out of a contract because "My lawyer wrote it for me, and I didn't really read it, even though I did sign my name to it," the judge will rightly laugh them right out of the courtroom -- and probably award the plaintiff extra damages just for the stupidity factor.

    A corporate manager who claims, "Oh, some underling of mine let that defective product out onto the market -- I wasn't really watching, so I had nothing to do with it" is still going to be out of a job so fast he'll have asphalt marks on the butt of his Brooks Brothers suit.

    What would you say if I told you Obama once belonged to a racist organization that does not admit white people?

    So by your logic, we can hold president Obama accountable for the views of every kook that supports him as well, right? People like you are the reason politics in this country are so stupid and dirty.
