In fact, that's kinda my whole point. If more of those Democrats and progressives learned what they were really getting with Dr. Paul - a racist, anti-choicer who wants to dismantle the social safety net and abolish all government agencies except the military, they'd run screaming for the hills. I do have to give the media some credit for recently exposing his hypocrisy in getting all that pork for his district while pretending to be against government spending. webdevgirl, I’ve got quite enough of the “whole Ron Paul picture” to make my determination about him.

And that's a tremendous position for a Republican to have. But if a Democrat votes for Ron Paul due to his position on the war they are no better than someone who votes for an anti-choice candidate just because they want to overturn Roe v Wade, or a Club for Growth supported candidated because they hate taxes. One issue voters are just not credible. The war position is just something to get you to take a look. But once you look under the covers, it's the same conservative B.S. that we're used to. Come on; Democrats are smarter than that! http://idonotsupportronpaulbecauseheisawacko.blogspot.com/ The reality is that most Democrats who support Ron Paul do so because of his position on the Iraq War.

You have to admit, he has some humdingers. But other than not supporting the war in Iraq, I don't see a redeeming quality in Paul. I find him refreshing in some ways and find his supporters to be inspiring in some ways, but he doesn't stand for what I stand for. In fact, he's against most of what I believe in. But that's just my two buck chuck :) You’re wrong about the sound bytes - those are what make him sound good. You have to admit, he has some humdingers.

The problem is that most of what you see in the news about Congressman Paul are just 30-second sound bytes or his words are twisted or taken out of context so you don't get the whole picture. No one in their right mind would do some of the things you accuse Congressman Paul of doing -- and neither would he. Unfortunately the mainsteam media is twisting things or cutting him off so he doesn't get to explain his full plan. I would suggest getting the whole picture. No other candidate, for example, on EITHER side has consistently been opposed to the war in Iraq except Congressman Paul. http://isupportronpaul.blogspot.com/ It’s interesting that quite a few Democrats are, in fact, now supporting Ron Paul (here’s one such example: http://www.bellinghamherald.com/124/story/275080.html).
