And if he's not freedom and liberty won't go near the White House either. But then again you don't care about property rights of people so it wont bother you.

To the party faithful,the party matters more than the nation.

Winning is all.

Been that way for a while,BOTH parties and their followers believe it.

It is why this nation is going downhill...well one of the reasons.

Such is life.

I don't go by baseless accusations of the agenda driven I look for the truth.
Good to know you think people in Ron Pauls district are racist.
Anything else idiotic you want to post?
Couldn't rep you again for this, but well said. I'm going on what I have read and heard from Dr. Paul in the 16 years after those newsletters. Do I agree with everything he is for? No, but in the overall picture he comes a whole lot closer to my personal positions than any other candidate out there. The bottom line for me is that I wish to be a citizen of a free republic, not a subject of an empire.

Here you go, Paul took credit for the writings in 1996.

Quote:
Paul, a Republican obstetrician from Surfside, said Wednesday he opposes racism and that his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of ""current events and statistical reports of the time."

Selected writings by Paul were distributed Wednesday by the campaign of his Democratic opponent, Austin lawyer Charles ""Lefty" Morris.

The last line of your linked article
"None of this is conclusive, of course, but it sure is interesting"
As pointed out earlier that article attributes all the writings in the newsletters to Dr. Paul. Simply not the case. Can you find anything in subsequent writings or speeches by Dr. Paul himself, that would confirm any charge of racism on his part?

Here you go making things up. You once again have no proof just that some unreliable source said so.

When they run out of rhetoric it is their fall back tactic, what they fail to grasp is that other people can read Pauls ideas and figure out what how they would impact the Nation themselves without watching a U-Tube video as they have to do themselves.

could you explain what you mean by track record? And what you mean by people doing their homework? Many of us have and our opinions differ from each other, but that doesn't mean any of us are wrong or completely right.
