Ron Paul is a nut. Period.
Molon Labe commented:
Ron Paul is probably the worst abuser of earmarks among Republicans. He gives lie to his “small goivernment” and strict constitution by feeding at the trough. He is dishonest, dishonorable, and above all insane.

IDIOTS. Ron Paul is ignored again but he WON the debate. All the others candidates looked stupid and only said stupid things. Boy you people are really kooks.

Gride commented:
I didn’t watch the debates but from what I am reading on all other sites it sounds like Romney was the winner and shockingly Paul was the loser.
donh commented:
So Perry has taken up Michelle Bachman’s former role as Myth Romney’s hunting dog. As the earlier story today proved. Romney is a forgone conclusion , and the others have been placed in the pond water as decoys to divide distract and attack the non Romney vote. Paul is the only real threat to the fake stage craft that has been rigged to goad you down the Romney sinkhole.

I am glad Rick Perry stayed in long enough to deliver that smack down to Ron Paul.
Sasja commented:
April, he’s only controversial to those on the left.
Rose commented:
IF Ron Paul is in fact a Conservative, it is only because he is a Conservative Neo-Nazi. He wants to be best friends with Ahmadinajab like Hitler was with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who gave Hitler two Muslim Panzer Divisions to help run his Concentration/Death Camps – upgrading Hitler from 5 to 7 Panzer Divisions.
These will take pay in mind-altering, highly addictive drugs.
Ron Paul is Dennis Kucinich’s Siamese Twin brother.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
Like usual, they have tried to ignore Ron Paul again. Still, he won the debate. The only one who truely understand economy. All the others looked like amateurs. If Romney is the only thing you have to show … go jump off a cliff. Tjhe whole world is laughing!
Gride commented:
Rose go hide in a closet you are so stupid.
The last bastion of a failed argument is name calling. Sounds like you are a little butt hurt that Paul was the big loser tonight.
It’s time to give it up. Ron Paul is going the way of the dodo.
Sasja commented:
Craig, as nuttier a nut, nut as Paul the Nut. Craig, apparently you haven’t taken my advice to get some help. I’m beginning to worry about you, little one.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
LOL… your country will never recover, with this bunch of clowns. Keep spending, keep the war going… keep the Status Quo… keep the groping… keep it all and you will lose it all with these buffoons. Poor America!

Patty commented:
Perry gets a little better every debate. I too would want to go back to Iraq and blow up some more of the mean guys. Without causalities on our side and no innocent people getting hurt.
Perry may not get the Paul types to excited but then again, we are out now. More important fish to fry. Iran.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
No Gride, Ron Paul was the clear winner tonight although they let him speak about 2 minutes.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
Hey Petty… ouch. Perry said he would sent back the troops in Irak right now. You call that an improvement? GEE how gone are you?
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
Petty, what do you like about Perry? His looks? You are so vain, it’s probably the only reason. YEAH… go kill some more, that will make your day! You disgustful bloodthirsty idiot. I hope China, Russia and Pakistan will come and nuke your country, so you will see if you still like blood… sadistic ugly woman!
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
The more I read the comments on this blog, the more I hate you people. Funny, three years ago I used to like Americans. No more. You are so evil… who could like you?
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:

Patty commented:
I have not made my mind up, Craig. Sorry, if you thought I did. Never said that. I like what Perry said because it is the opposite of this Chicago Thug in our White House.
Gride commented:
I have figured it out. Craig is either a Muslim jihadist or a Neo-Nazi.

Donh, # 35,
I know, I used to blog here 3 year ago. People were all Ron Paul Partiers and it was great. But, since, the Tea Party has been hijacked by the neocons, like Perry, Backman, etc.
Nowaday, these same people spit on the Constitution and on Ron Paul. It’s like the devil took possession of their souls somehow.
The only Americans I can deal with are Ron Paul supporters. All the other ones, as far as I’m concerned can go straight to hell. I’m sure even God despites them now. Just like the OWS, I can imagine them sh**ting on Ron Paul’s car and on the Constitution. That’s how far gone they are. Their souls are not recoverable.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
If you ask me if I think Romney or any other candidate besides RP, would be better than Obama. I will say: No, they wont be better, probably not worse either… they will be exactly the same as Obama. You will have change 4 quarters for a dollar. All that money spent in vain… like if you can afford throwing money thru the window at this time.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
Oh and by the way… WHY THE SAME? Because all your Presidents are puppets to their masters, the foreign bankers who own and rule your country.
Ron Paul is the only one who will stand in front of them and bring them to court and sent to jail.
Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
Listen up #37,
Great quotation! I’m sure you are not a neocon. Am I right?
Molon Labe commented:
I didn’t know that if you had a lobotomy the patient would rabbit on, and on, and on. I did realize that incoherent ranting would probably be the result, but the more I read Craig’s comments I realize he probably writes the monologues from Al Sharpton. The vast verbage in search of an idea, the endless repition of a theme because of the inability to imagine any coherent way of proving it or illustrating it with evidence, till the subject dies of overwork and endless exoploitation.
This banality packaged as bombast gets to sound like products for women. You just want to turn it off. Or commercials for ambluances chasers, so degrading to the human spirit and any sense of decency.
I guess its true. If you shake hands with Ron Paul you have to howl at the moon, wear high heels, and worship jihaddies. God I wish Craig would just go back to working for NAMBLA.
Molon Labe commented:
Its so nice to see the Ronulians reduced to sputtering Obamaisms. Frothing at the mouth is just so conductive to winning people over. But Ron Paul was one of three representatives this year who requested earmarks. And he scored a record of almost 200 million. Its not that I hold this against him its his hiprocracy when he talks about the Constitution and limited government and uses tax payer monies for projects they were never intended and QED unconstitutional.
This is the heart of being a Ronulian. Its just Obamaism.
S. Wolf commented:
Craig #38, 39
‘I recently told a friend that I might hold my nose and vote for Ron Paul because he is the only one talking about drastically cutting the federal bureaucracy. I take it all back! The more we learn about this guy, the more troubling are his views.
We argued in our series that libertarianism is based on a moral foundation of sand. And that is exactly what Paul’s views reflect. On the surface, conservatives ought to like him. He says he is for the Constitution and for smaller government. But let’s see where this leads us.
Ron Paul also has stated that there should be no “age of consent law” in the federal statutes. In other words, Paul says that it should be OK by federal law for a 24 year old man to convince a 10 year old girl to have sex.
He left the Republican Party to run as a Libertarian in the 1980’s because he did not like Ronald Reagan.
•He was the only member of the House of Representatives to vote against a 2005 resolution condemning Ahmadinejad’s call to “wipe Israel off the map” and a 2009 resolution “expressing support” for Iranian pro-democracy demonstrators.
•He has intimated, on more than one occasion, that the United States is to blame for the 9/11 massacre.
•In the 1990’s he wrote a newsletter that had multiple vividly racist statements, a fact for which he acknowledges he holds “some” responsibility. (Some responsibility? These letters came out under his signature.) Apparently the American Nazi party supported Ron Paul.
•He has said that the United States had no business being in World War II.
•He is an active pork obtainer and sees this as consistent with his other views.
Folks, this guy is NUTTY, and a very dangerous man. It is pretty hard to tell this man’s ideas apart from liberals like Michael Moore! I have been listening to various talk shows lately. The Paulites are calling in droves to support this nut. It is amazing how blinded they are to the facts when presented to them.’

Craig (The only conservative on this site) commented:
I knew Wolf had no arguments. Everything he wrote above about Ron Paul are all false. Wolf is a big bad wolf who wants to eat America. He hates America and he will vote for anybody who will destroy it. Wolf is a neocon bloodthirsty warmonger and he enjoys bullying the world. Your country is doomed!

Oh boy! You must be on crack , #50. You remember me of a fellow who used to write on this blog 3 years ago. His name was TOM. He was on crack, and he used to take the name CRAIG like you do to try to annoy me…lol. Well, maybe it’s the same TOM, who’s back under a new pseudo. Childish crakpot head… you are pathetic….lol
This blogsite is a complete joke. I don’t know why I write here for. Maybe it’s because I hate you so much, that it is a way to blow up a bit of steam. Boy I hate you idiots. And I’m starting to enjoy it. Never thought it would be fun to hate people. It never happened to me before. I use to like everybody. Well you can be proud, you teached me hatred!

Yeah, I was definately under the impression that Craig was Canadian.
eddie commented:
RON PAUL ROCKS! why are so many people scared of freedom and liberty?
Molon Labe commented:
Doug Ross’s site provided the following demonstrating how crazy Ron Paul is and how stupid his followers are:
One of the odd things I hear about from time to time from many of my libertarian colleagues and friends is their perception that Texas Republican Ron Paul is a rare model of purity in a political pigsty…
I have many issues of agreement with Paul, particularly on health policy, and I’ve defended him publicly in the past on many of his calls for government reform. But this perception of Paul as a principled crusader who serves only the Constitution is at odds with his wholehearted embrace of typical pork-barrel politics – a difference which is all the more stark in the wake of House Republicans’ voluntary ban on earmarks last year. The record on this is available to the public, but it attracts scant attention…
…Paul made over $157 million in earmark requests for FY 2011, one of only four House Republicans to request any earmarks. Additionally, he made over $398 million in earmark requests for FY 2010, again one of the leading Republican House members…
Among Paul’s earmarks are boondoggles like $38 million to “encourage parents to read aloud to their children”, $18 million for a light rail study, $4 million for a “Trails and Sidewalks Connectivity Initiative”, $11 million for an ACORN-like “Community-Based Job Training Program”, $2 million for a “clean energy” pilot project, and many, many more.
All of the above earmarks can be found on Paul’s own congressional website… Paul typically will make the earmark request, but then votes against or abstains from voting on final passage, so he can maintain his claim to have “never voted for an earmark”, even the earmark requests he himself made.
So not only does Paul embrace the suicidal national security views of Dennis Kucinich, but his claims to be a fiscal hawk are as plainly fraudulent as his assertions that he never read his own newsletter.
How stupid does Ron Paul think Americans are? Uhm, for you Paul drones, that’s a rhetorical question.
YEAH RON PAUL HAS NEVER REQUESTED AN EARMARK.
CRAIG IS THE CYNTHIA MCKINNEY OF THE BLOG WORLD>
RedBeard commented:
Oh, dear. It appears, after reading these comments, that poor Craig is nearing a total mental collapse. Of course, if he’s already institutionalized as I suspect, he’ll be well cared for.
Evil Otto commented:
The more I read the comments on this blog, the more I hate you people.
Good.
Not sure how everyone else here feels, but personally, I don’t want a loudmothed, mentally-ill conspiracy theorist like you to like me, Craig. I would feel ashamed if a worm like you liked me. I want your hate. I enjoy laughing at your idiotic beliefs, your idea that you’re “the only conservative on this site,” the fact that you’re so obsessive about a political process you have no say in, and your chosen candidate, L. Ron Paul.
So, c’mon, hate me more, Craig. I’m enjoying watching you get more and more deranged as time passes.
Evil Otto commented:
It never happened to me before. I use to like everybody. Well you can be proud, you teached me hatred!
“Teached?”
No, Craig, this is the real you. You’ve always been a hateful person, and now you’re just admitting it to yourself. You’re heading for a mental breakdown… I just hope you don’t hurt anyone when you finally snap.
jonnot commented:
To Jim Hoft–
Jim, how about establishing a policy here that a commenter is restricted to a maximum of 5 comments on any given thread? It is annoying–and unfair–when a loud mouth (no names, but his initials are Craig!) takes over a thread and all reasonable conversation stops.
Sasja commented:
jonnot. I suggest we stop (myself included) responding to his rants.
jonnot commented:
I have never responded to any of his posts: like you, I just hoped that eventually he’d go away. However, I do object to his hi-jacking any and all threads regarding the primaries and the Republican candidates.

that hasn’t proffered a NWO.. everyone was against Bush, including
his own father, not to mention turd blossom, Powell & several others in

Both of them are correct too. It IS the congresses job to appropriate money and not give blank checks to the administration.
This whole ‘earmarks’ thing is totally a red herring meant solely to distract everyone from the real issue…..the total spending.
Its HOW MUCH we are spending that is real big problem, not how its being spent.

Brovo Craig! let the rest of these perpetual war advocates drone on about supporting candidates who want to attack Iran. This as China and India quitely go around the world making friends of all countries. And buying their resources. Soon we’ll even lose our resource deals with you Canadians. Will we be able to get foreign aid from you folks when we become the world piarrea because we are broke and without any other friend than Israel? If I were a Canadian I’d tell Americans to go screw ut I guess you are too polite.
MustComment commented:
#75: Lol. Too funny.
Ron Paul has a lot of conservative ideas domestically, BUT his crazy foreign policies will never get him elected. Thank God. Problem is, Rand will be running soon enough.
Jay Tea commented:
No , Ron Paul knows that the bills are going to pass and he knows the money is going to be spend .. If not it ends up in the President’s slush fund and congress has to beg the president for it later… Ron Paul is against earmarks and stuff like that.. But since he know they are going to pass , he put things in there that benefit his district,,, THEN HE VOTES AGAINST THE BILL….. Hoping that all the others do the same but NO THEY DON”T ….. He is only making sure that if they are going to recklessly spend money that at least SOME of it comes back to his district… If he had his way there would be NO EARMARKS.

Josh commented:
It really pays to not just listen to what the candidates say, you should do your own research and listen to explanations that the assailed opponent says too. Ron Paul wants to eliminate the income tax, he’s pointed out that if we did, we could still afford our national budget from about ten years ago. Since we are taxed, constituents from his district send their money to Washington, the way to make sure they get their fair share back is to claim earmarks for his district, if he didn’t, he would not be serving his constituents fairly. A lot of what Ron Paul says may sound wacky, but if you read more in depth about what he has to say, listen to the CSPAN townhalls they’re doing in NH now for example, you can come to understand that he’s actually making a lot of sense and that it sounds crazy because the way things have been done for so long are really nuts. Like the defense budget, they treat him like he’s nuts for wanting to cut it, but really our military has become so big and overblown (we literally spend more than the rest of the world combined) that it’s a detriment to our national security! I know it’s hard because there are a lot of hypesters on the Ron Paul sites and some aren’t patient enough to explain things, but others are, he really does have the answers and his opponents are just another one in line of a long line of the same garbage that’s gotten us to where we are today.
