blah blah blah. Is Ron Paul capable of not sounding like a broken record? Why bother interviewing him, you will find your answer to every question in media archives.

I’d vote for him again, but his rhetoric is getting on my nerves now.

#2: They could strip him of his seniority, just as the House Democrats stripped John Bell Williams of Mississippi and Albert Watson of South Carolina for backing Goldwater in ’64.

Watson had little seniority, but Williams lost his committee chairmanship. Mississippi had voted 87.1% for Goldwater, and John Bell was looking toward the ’67 governor’s race, which he won.

I think the failure to answer the last question, is Ron still friends with Barr, speaks volumes in its silence.

It’s propaganda. Hitler would be proud, too.

“G.E. // Nov 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm

The Republican Party has traditionally been the party of liberty and limited government.

Thatâ€™s a lie and he knows it.”

That is not a lie, it is rhetoric. Aristotle would be proud of Paul.

just like itâ€™s possible to pick out some Democrats throughout history who were relatively libertarian.

Only there were a LOT, LOT, LOT more of them on the Democratic side up until the Progressive Era.

G.E. is absolutely right. Many Republicans, especially RLC people, harbor this bizarre fantasy that the Republican Party was like an early version of the Libertarian Party until a few decades ago. Wrong. It never was.

Of course, it’s possible to pick out a few Republicans throughout history who were relatively libertarian, just like it’s possible to pick out some Democrats throughout history who were relatively libertarian.

Interesting that he refers to the Republican Party as “they.”

Ron Paul evidently has no fear of being disciplined by the House GOP Conference for endorsing Chuck Baldwin.
