Question

Is Ron Paul a good example of a right wing moonbat?

Answer 1

I've noticed that the people who put Ron Paul down are predominantly ignorant of where he stands on issues and uneducated on politics in general. You people think he's a moonbat because he wants to disband federal agencies like the Federal Reserve, IRS, etc. What you don't realize is that you've been brainwashed by the controlled mass media to believe we need these bureaus. In truth, we don't! They are only designed to enslave the American people and we'd be better off without them.

Many of you are simpletons who just like to mock what you don't understand. You don't like people who are different so you knock them down. Let's face it.. it's hard to classify Ron Paul. Just look at his diverse following. He's got the admiration of some of the most right wing conservative Republicans out there, and he also has the respect many left wing liberals. I've even seen punk rockers with Ron Paul t-shirts on.

People are threatened by that and so they go around insulting him.  Very sad and pathetic.  

Answer 2

He is a man that still believes in the the core values that made the Republican Party great, but they have forgotten.  

Answer 3

He's the only one that makes sense. I too thought he was nuts at first, but if research him and what he stands for with an open mind, you might be surprised. He really does make a lot of sense. The Dempublicans and Republicrats really aren't all that different anymore. The Republican party has strayed so far from their small-government non-interventionalist policies, and until a candidate steps up that pledges to reduce the size, that has consistently worked to decrease the size of government (like Paul has), I'm not voting Republican again.

Answer 4

I am so sick of hearing about Ron Paul..if he was not good enough for the GOP ..then he is not going to do much in the Libertarian party

he just is not up to par

Answer 5

Ron Paul makes too much sense for either political party.  

Answer 6

Are you a robot? Do you have an opinion of your own that you didn't get from watching Faux news?

Answer 7

I'm a died in the wool Democrat, and never cared for Republicans

But for the most part, respected there beliefs. But with those right wing nuts and Neocons who took over the party, I lost that respect.

They lie and cheat, and manipulate their base and some Independents, to win Elections. It's no longer about issues that concern most Americans, who are mainly in the middle.

They use one issue campaigns, to ge the NRA members, the Religious right, Anti Tax groups and Pro-life. To vote their way

With our Electoral Process of Voting for President, it doesn't take much, to sway the Election their way.

As we saw in 2000 in Florida, and 2004 in Ohio. A few thousands votes, their way, was enough to make Bush our President. We all know how well those choices worked out.

At least Paul, speaks the truth, as far as he sees it.  

Answer 8

ROTFLMAO !!

Actually, his cult followers are the right wing moonbats !!!!

But the McCain/Bush supporters are rightwingnut asssclowns and they are even worse.  

Answer 9

Yeah...lower taxes, smaller government, fewer regulations on personal behaviors, more states rights to decide their own policies, following the Constitution...the guy must be totally insane.

Answer 10

Definitely right wing of the old school - small government, fiscal responsibility, civil liberties and noninterventionist foreign policy.

Not moonbat though.

He'll be on the Colbert Report tonight, so you can check him out a bit, but the 12,000 or so people at his rally Tuesday sure didn't act as if they thought he was a 'moonbat'.

Here's a thoughtful discussion of policy, if you can understand it:  http://www.minnpost.com/craigwestover/20...

And then there is this about the roll call vote at the RNC:  

"Last night's roll call certainly lacked the drama of the Democrats' version last week, but a notable thing happened at the end. As I was trying to listen through each state's cheering delegation, I noticed a ghost of primaries past reemerging. Texas congressman Ron Paul, who placed second in the Nevada and Montana caucuses, and created a huge following on the internet, received a few delegate votes. Two from West Virginia, four from Washington, four from Oregon. And Alaska, where Palin is the governor, was listed with five delegate votes for Paul. That actually put him in second place, ahead of Mitt Romney's two delegate votes.

Romney spoke before Palin Wednesday night, and Paul, who held his own convention in nearby Minneapolis, did not exactly receive a warm welcome from the Republicans earlier in the week. On Tuesday, Paul told CNN that as a Republican congressman he "should have a pass to the floor, but they said, 'Your pass will be at the gate, and we'll pick it up when you leave, and you can't take anybody with you.' "

At the end of the roll call, a motion passed to make John McCain the nominee by acclamation. But I'm sure Paul will take his 15 official votes with him, as well as more than ten thousand people who bought tickets to his "Rally for the Republic" convention. Something tells me we haven't heard the last of the Ron Paul Revolution. "

Answer 11

He is a RINO - (Republican In Name Only)

Answer 12

No, He is not liberal at all according to today's views of a liberal. He is a conservative libertarian and one of the most honest and trustworthy guys that actually care more about the liberty and freedom of America than anyone else in congress.
