Ron Paul, Why does everyone bash him?  

I feel the same way, I am sure part of it is that they are afraid that he will change the way it is in Washington, and those with automatic reelection districts could actually have to work for once.

I, personally, don't think he could be any worse the George W. Bush was.

LOL, that surely isn't say much! My dog would make a better president than Bush

He was a doctor and he was in the U.S. House of Representatives. What's not to like?

Rogue, I was talking about Bush

I thought we were talking about Ron Paul and how great he is?

I like him, I just wonder what he will do in the future

He could run again.

The boos actually came before Paul took the stage, and shocked the person giving the announcement. The results were shown on the screen first and the person was about to announce the winner and there were many boos heard. I am sure you can find it on Youtube.

I personally (and I could be wrong) haven't heard many people "bash" Paul on the left, we don't like his abortion stance, but other than that he doesn't seam to be a bad guy. For a guy that votes 90% with a party that treats him like $hit, I wonder why he continues to even deal with these idiots.

The best thing I can tell all of you to do with your life is watch CNBC for one hour, and you will understand that it isn't left wing media (and I know this isn't what you are saying, but this channel is made up of far right wingers). I understand what you are saying about the media's agenda on a hole, and it makes you really wonder about the NWO people (maybe they are crazy, or maybe they have just figured it out). I can understand Nader, he is pretty crazy now a days, but Bob Barr is a pretty straight forward kind of guy.

You can understand why the GOP doesn't want a third party candidate after 1992.
I agree that we need more options in our elections, but I hate to say that it is going to have to start at the local level, instead of the national level. The tea party movement might be able to help organize sympathetic voters to candidates, but it will take them decades to build what has taken centuries for the other parties to.

" and it makes you really wonder about the NWO people (maybe they are crazy, or maybe they have just figured it out)."
I tell ya Debater...I spend a lot of time at prison planets forum....and there is a lot of wack job stuff ....but I have found the tin foil hat crowd a lot more informative and truthfull lately than main stream news when you learn to sort through the garbage there. Thank god for the tin foil hatties, seriously, I mean that.

X, the problem with believing what they say is you then have to change everything you know about your own world. The question then is: Do you want to do that?

"The question then is: Do you want to do that? "
The question is more, "Do we need to?"....I am beginning to wonder...I really am. In the words of Einstien, "The more I learn, the more I am astounded by my own ignorance".

X, it becomes a sanity issue. If what you learn will drive you crazy, then do you really want to know? I am not saying this is right or wrong, I am just saying that I have pointed things out to you that make me and you upset, but there is nothing we can do about it. So, do you continue to drive yourself crazy with no solution in sight, or do you just live in your own little dream world and be happy. There is no right or wrong answer here, it is all about your own personal sanity level. We are all lemmings on a certain level.

I agree that the Bush years were filled with anything but fiscal conservatives. The problem is getting new candidates to run for office, if CPAC is any sign of the future than get ready for the social conservative, fiscal liberal republicans to take back control of the government. Not good at all for America!

I would have to agree with you on this, but how long will it take Ron to see the light? This man is far more intelligent than the party that he votes with, and they repay him for his support by treating him like a red headed step-child. He needs to move this movement forward, and he is the only national figure with the ability to do it. I hear his son is running for office, and in early polls he is winning. Maybe he can recruit his son to carry the torch of the movement, and lead it into the future.

Rand is not quite as savey as his old man but he still shows a great deal of promise and seems to cut from the same libertarian cloth. I have high hopes for him so far and I think he would make a great addition to congress. He is doing extremely well in the polls and it looks as if he is almost a shoe in for a win.
I do wish Ron had run as an indepandant after he lost the primaries. He may not have stood a chance as I don't know how many Obama supporters he would have been able to bring to his side, the momentum was just too great and everyone was so caught up in Obama-mania I don't think he could have gotten many. But it would have set him up for this one as he could have done a lot of the "you watch and see what happens if they do this" kind of thing. I think the next election may be a very different story. He should start now and just do what he does best, point out truth and remind people that he has been right so far on everything he said would come to pass. The man is a veritable sage and I think he and his supporters should expolit that aspect of him. They should also focus on the guys genuine honesty and experience.

The sad part is that he is voting with the same people that bash him every chance they get. I sure wouldn't put up with that very long.

Lil, so what you are saying is that he really doesn't belong in the republican party, but he is there so his voice can still be heard. I agree with you that the movement may be better with Ron forcing the republican party to at least keep him happy so he doesn't completely destroy the republican party. I guess you could say that what he is doing now is good for him, and for the republican party. This allows him to get his ideas out in a public, and allows the party to get votes from his followers that might go to another candidate.

He is a republican....a real republican before NECONS took over. He is a Republican that is not just paying lip service but actually means what he says. He is what all of our elected officials should be. ANd I don't mean his views on things. I mean his honesty and ethics.Althought I really like most of hsi views. We could use more poeple like him in both parties. Get rid of the parasites. The parasites hate him because he makes them look bad. Show me a politican that hates Ron Paul...I will show you a blood sucking, crooked, corrupt politican.

As for the party....I don't know how much Ron Paul helps the Republican party. I know I voted for him in the last election. But that does not mean I voted for other republicans. I don't vote a straight ticket. I don't support any candidate because of the (R) or (D) beside their names. I support candidates...not parties.
