Two things to add to this thread...
First, can the OP please add either RP, Ron Paul, or Paulites somewhere in the title of the thread so we know that its another lovefest for him, that way it will get us all posting here faster rather than having to guess what your rant would be, thanks.
Second,
Creature said
his views on Race and Government make him, in my opinion,...a wacko.
WINSTON THE WOLF conveniently forgot to address the race part in his rebuttal that I would like to see an answer to and the part about the government that you refuted makes no sense.
See the problem I have with RP is not that he's a quack or a wacko or any other unintelligent name I could think of (even though Paulista's is a good one), the problem is this. His solutions to the problems we face today do not make sense for today's time period.
Sure, I would love to see the IRS abolished, but anyone that thinks its possible lives in a fairy tale. Do we have a complex, burdensome, unequal tax code and laws, you bet we do, but is abolishing the IRS overnight going to fix that? Of course not. We need someone who UNDERSTANDS WHY something does not work, what can be done to fix that problem and the solution to get it to the operational point to make it beneficial to all of us. RP only sees things through the eyes of the Constitution, which to me is his pro AND con at the same time. Did the framers envision everything when they drafted the Constitution, of course not, they weren't all knowing, and there will be things that change overtime that need to be addressed without using the Constitution as a rule of thumb but as a guide.
If RP had been able to put common sense in with his message instead of shouting fiscal policy, gold standard, and unconstitutional war in Iraq every chance he got on tv, maybe he 1) would have had more air time 2) came across better to some of his party and 3) more importantly, done better in the polls.
We need someone with RP's message, but another messenger, one who can control his supporters, one who can grasp the disconnect between Constitutional era thinking and 2008 thinking.
Now, we have no options this election that fit those, so better luck next time I guess.
That's MY rant for the day
And finally, WINSTON THE WOLF, try using logic and sound arguments when you debate someone, it gets old you just using nonsense rebuttals like this:
He wan't to get rid of the IRS, Yup I forgot alot of people like paying taxes, and He is against the Patriot act, Crazy me, I forgot how many Americans like theirs phones being tapped and their privacy being invaded. He want's us out of the U.N, But I for got how much Americans like being rent a cops for the U.N.
I added the emphasis
