Ron Paul the True Republican

We had at least three of the “mainstream” candidates make totally irresponsible remarks about war. Huckabee with his gates of hell comment. Thompson with his virgins remark. And McCain and his corny ass jokes about burkas and one way tickets. These candidates sound like ignorant rednecks, not presidential leaders. Last night seemed like a contest to see who could sound the most ignorant with Ron Paul refusing to play. The questions aimed at Ron Paul about 9/11 conspiracy people and his electability were hostile and attempted to further alienate him from his party. Of course it comes as no surprise that Fox News continues to disrespect the only respectable Republican in the race. And let’s not leave out Mr. Romney who quipped to Paul, “You must be reading Ahmadinejad’s press releases.” Interestingly the crowd was often with Mr. Paul, applauding several times after his statements. Yet after the debate the focus group almost unanimously declared him the loser.

It’s hard to believe the American people are too stupid to see through all of this. If the Republicans continue to allow themselves to be controlled by neocons they will eventually disintegrate. While I disagree with Ron Paul on some issues, Dr. Paul deserves respect for being an intelligent conservative with consistent and logical principles. Neocons have NO principles. They have sold their souls to the devil and are under the illusion that they will forever be able to delude Americans with their shameless patriotic platitudes. They’ve been able to trick Christians into voting for them by making them believe Christ would only care about two issues: abortion and homosexuality. Well, I have faith that Christians are beginning to see this strategy and they will reject it.
