Quote by: richardson  I'm so tired of hearing about Ron Paul. By his own admission this person is a Libertarian running as a Republican. He says he is running as a Republican because it's too expensive to run as a third party. He also said he ran for Congress as a Republican because he couldn't be competitive as a Libertarian. Anyone who starts out using the resources of another party to get into the frey does not deserve to be considered as a real candidate.
I'll be happy when this election is over just so I won't have to hear about him anymore. |
Well, you could watch cartoons on TV instead of looking at political webpages. He might be a wolf in sheepe clothing but he still has the right to howl. Perhaps he figures that it you cannot defeat them - then join them, that way he can operate from within like a mole. Or like a worm in the apples of the great American Pie.
In spite of his libertarian perspectives he has authored bills that were important for the objectives of Bush and the Republican objectives. And for Texas oil interests. Therefore he has earned the right be on the Republican ticket... even if he does not agree with how people interpret the Consitution.
