Bigots like us? It’s bigoted to let people live their lives the way they want, so long as they aren’t violating other peoples rights? It’s bigoted to want to stop bombing others who don’t go along with our foreign policy?

Not seeing it.

@Chance Haywood (urbanelephants.com ?)

Goldwater (before, during and after) and Reagan were great heroes in American History. Paulbots don’t have exclusive claim to their ideology.

Take a history lesson.

“represents what (R)epublicans should be.”

It’s the bigots like you who kill this party and say, “it’s this way or the highway.” Face it, the majority doesn’t agree with you.

Anti-Paulites? Are you kidding me? Ron Paul represents what republicans should be. How can you take issue with a man who puts life, liberty and freedom above all else when it comes to political ideology.

You must be one of the republicans who think Taft, Goldwater and Reagan were bad for the party.

Ron Paul had some ideas that could have been implemented into the Party platform, but has lost all integrity.

He defeated himself. Great.

Long live the new generation of anti-Paulites.

Maybe they’ll take him seriously, since everything he’s been predicting for over thirty years is coming true.

Last October, at a debate in Michigan, he talked about the inflation tax. He called it a “transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to Wall St.” I bet people know what he’s talking about now.

You don’t know anything about Paul.

“after every sane political observer knew it, Paul grudgingly accepted the obvious”

…he didn’t grudgingly accept anything. He stayed in because his supporters wanted him too. He said he’d bow out when they didn’t want him too. They continued to send money and volunteer… even long after he officially dropped out.

“new-found disdain for third-parties”

He didn’t show any disdain for third parties. He has shown disdain for laws that are biased against third parties. A big part of his message during the presidential campaign was to encourage people to vote third party, any third party…

“nothing more than a juvenile cry for attention”

…and he endorsed Chuck Baldwin very, very quietly.

At the end of a long blog entry, and not at the national press conference on third parties.
