1. Don't let Ron Raul snow you over.
He is tricking you. He is not *good* for America, as so many claim.

The farthest I can go is that he is good for the repubs. That's it.

3. Paul isn't getting any corporate cash at all
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 08:04 AM by Silverbug
He's in favor of eliminating all corporate subsidies, tarrifs, and special favors...no more government contracts...no more corporate welfare. They'll have to fend for themselves, rely on consumers to voluntarily buy their products.. This means *gasp* more COMPETETION!..and the big corps don't like that idea at all.

5. anyone see the You tube
video of Paul talking about Dennis Kucinich. He had kind words to say. Not that he agreed with him on most issues. But, he knows an honest face when he sees one.

9. Paul is a right wing ati-government extremist
Just because he agrees with Dems on a couple of issues, does not make him an admirable politican - he's much closerto Grover Nordquist than he'll ever be to us!

20. huh?
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 11:54 AM by Lirwin2
Why do some (*ahem*) Obama supporters believe that every post by a Hillary supporter is somehow an attack on them?

21. That's what happens when you roll your eyes at someone's post
they think you're objecting to them.

Good to hear you don't think I'm anti-road, Lirwin. I take back the humorless part. And you're only slightly more annoying than me so we're about even.

22. I wasnt rolling my eyes at your post.
I was AGREEING with you, by stating Ron Pauls "The free market will provide!" line, and rolling my eyes at that...

30. No one who EVER voted for a Republican is a Democrat.
All you people who were seduced by Eisenhower or Nixon or Reagan or Bush should just go away. No icky people allowed in our club.

16. Yep. It's not that they don't like Clinton or Obama.
They're just rightwing nutjobs.

14. Well, there goes the "Ron Paul support is only because Hillary's a DINO" argument.
Apparently DU is home to a sizable contingent of crazy-ass right-wingers.

17. Or, those people are so fanatical they keep an eye on every nook and cranny of the net.
Ever look at the News and Politics category at YouTube (highest rated, etc.)? What do we miss on there because the pages are blanketed with Ron Paul videos? Sometimes, Olbermann videos barely surface -- ditto those from major candidates.

25. It's an outrage that rightwing crackpot Paul gets ANY support on DU
No one who even pretends to be a progressive has any business voting for that scumbag.

28. My favorite expression to track politicians.
Follow the money. Or rather , follow their money. Not saying necessarily this is the case with Ron Paul. But, sometimes, I say, I 'd vote for someone I don't agree with rather than someone I agree with but find corrupt. It could apply to certain breeds of Democrats. Follow the money. What you see following this strategy, is what you get.
