Paul IS a former Libertarian Party presidential nominee, after all. Joel Send a noteboard - 23/11/2011 09:15:55 AM
Of course, the Republican candidates in this election cycle resemble the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight. Bachmann, Cain, Perry and Santorum are just embarrassments to the party. Huntsman is a decent guy but not Presidential. Ron Paul is so libertarian I'm surprised he self-identifies as a Republican (though I like a lot of what he says until he goes overboard).


1. You say Huntsman is not Presidential. What is "Presidential?"

2. I'm surprised you're surprised Paul being a Republican. I think you really know that he actually identifies as a Libertarian. But he knows he has zero chance to win the presidency as a Libertarian. He has to indentify as a Republican if he is to have any chance.

I would not expect him to do any better running for president with that party now than he did a decade and a half ago. ;) But then, I do not expect a pro-life pro-drug-legalization candidate to do well with any party. :P That is Pauls problem in a nut shell: In a nation that chooses its president on the basis of who scares it least, he offers something to terrify everyone. Tom and I disagree on a LOT of things (though not everything,) but I also like a lot of what Paul says until he goes overboard; I suspect, however, that Tom and I differ (somewhat) on WHERE Paul goes overboard. In terms of either of us voting for the man though, the specifics of why I will vote for Obama and Tom will vote for Romney do not matter (particularly since those are the men each party will nominate.)

How is a Bigoted Ass clown still in the top 3 for the GOP nomination? - 22/11/2011 02:40:35 AM 1175 Views
Because the alternatives are mostly even worse? *NM* - 22/11/2011 02:46:53 AM 388 Views
Bachmann is the only who comes close to being worse than Cain - 23/11/2011 03:11:24 AM 596 Views

No one has told him yet that dog whistles are supposed to be inaudible to humans. - 22/11/2011 04:18:21 AM 772 Views
Ignoring the rant I do have a question - 22/11/2011 09:40:25 PM 640 Views
No, just a not so random aspersion. - 23/11/2011 06:28:41 AM 771 Views
