He should stop making it sound like it is just what he believes.

It is all about how to package the truth. Where there is a will, there is a way.

emily, I love ya! You are a 'trip'...and I mean that in a very positive light.

Either you 'care' much...or you're working for Paul? But, whatever the case....you keep coming....like a brama bull. And that's neat!

You may should be the candidate....but, I disagree with your politics....so I can't be your campaign manager.

Accurate, but the fault is with it being an inconvenient truth for a substantial part of electorate. That is a death sentence in politics.

O.K. Everyone can RELAX now. Ron Paul has the PERFECT comeback to what caused 9/11 sound byte style. He was given a chance by CNN today to explain what he meant when his answer about the cause of 9/11 and he said something I've NEVER heard him say. It makes PERFECT SENSE and it should SHUT EVERYONE UP who gives him grief or who doesn't like his foreign policy stance.

(I'll paraphrase. Among other things (he talks about blowback which CIA confirms and forcing our exceptionalism on others as causes BUT he said "if they hate us because of our "freedom", why aren't they going after other countries that are freer than us like Switzerland?" ????? Pretty good question isn't it????????? Also he points out that there were exponentially more suicide bombers AFTER we went over there than beforehand. So bottom line is we are LESS SAFE with our current policy of occupying countries all over the world rather than having our troops here.

Listen:

If I was the candidate, I guess you wouldn't vote for me either (if you don't like my politics).

It must be my fault that I haven't explained myself correctly if you don't agree wholeheartedly. I think everyone, if they really understood, would agree with my positions on all the issues (which coincidentally just happen to be where Ron Paul also stands).

No EMILY....that's not it...you told me in a DM....if a person would be ''stupid enough'' to do drugs (you were arguing Paul's 'Libertarian' position to Legalize drugs, prostitution, etc....by letting 'States' decide. You said, 'tough...if a person got hooked. That is NOT my Christian attitude....but it clearly is Ron Paul's position....and your's emily...as you stated to me.

I love a lot about you, emily (no come on, haha) and me and my friends are praying for you...we see a lot of Quality potential....but until and unless...you have a 'Heart' change....I can only Hope you realize what you need. - God Bless...Sincerely!!!

I think you must have me confused with someone else Q. G. I've never sent you any direct messages as of yet. I just checked to make sure.

No, emily...I forgot..you responded to my DM...when you stated the 'drug position'.....I sent a condensed copy to you...just now...in a DM.

I would post here...what you stated in your DM response to me....but won't do that, unless you OK it?

Sorry Q.G. I guess I did send you a message after all. I thought City-Data saved them for us but I guess all they do is save the ones you receive. It is either that or I don't know where to look.

You're forgiven, em. Really nothing to be 'forgiven'...ya just forgot.

Oh...go to 'Direct Messages'....down where it shows the Direct Message box.....click on the name 'Direct Message' at top of the box.....it will bring up 'inbox' and 'sent mail'....click on...and what you have sent or received...will come on...unless you Deleted them.

That's the rub you're forcing your beliefs on others THRU GOVERNMENT. Quit trying to use force to accomplish what you want. Government role is limited, like protecting property rights. That's one of their roles. Our founders knew government isn't moral. Society can be moral.
Through education people learn, not through force and coercion.
