pot shots maybe not. poor terminology. maybe people are just being obtuse when considering his answers to these questions?
Obtuse? My questions are clear and direct. What does Paul specifically propose for the collection of intelligence data in the absence of the current intel organizations? The only answer I've received at Volconvo is some form of "we don't need intelligence to prevent terror attacks."

I'm a bit concerned about mr paul not being gaurded enough to play the game enough to win. That's what we need. That's what I meant about PR.
I thought Paul was above parsing words and Washingtonian double-speak. The minute he starts, his long paper trail of clear and concise messages will come back to haunt him every day. Leave the flip-flopping and non-answers to the expert in the Republican field, Mitt Romney.

'in translation' meaning the difference between Mr'.Pauls statements and how they are stated by scared democrats
I'm not "translating" Paul's position: I'm asking for clarification. If Paul wants to abolish the current US intel community, what PRECISELY does he want in its stead? That's a question, not a translation. Paul should not have trouble providing an answer. But somehow his Volconvo supporters are have trouble providing a convincing one.

And what gives you the idea that Democrats fear Ron Paul? I respect the man, but I don't fear him. He hasn't even broken double digits in ANY statewide Republican poll, including the straw poll in his home state of Texas. Perhaps he'll do better in a few months, but right now he's really not too scary for anybody, in any party.
