While Ron Paul may have a national following of supporters, apparently he’s not so popular in his home state, Texas. The Hill reports, “Paul finished third in a straw poll of 1,300 Texas Republican activists who had been delegates to recent…

Wired is reporting on the Ron Paul SPAM story that I noted here the other day. The SPAM has been “laundered through a botnet,” which is ”a standard spammer practice,” and ”a decidedly illegal one.”  Gary Warner, t…

It appears Ron Paul supporters really don’t take the time to read posts before the pounce. Please don’t all flatter yourselves. No feelings hurt and you all have far from handed me anything.

Here she was, just trying to make a few innocent observations about a “cult” of “wingnuts,” citing articles that insinuate Ron Paul supporters are behind the spam she’s getting, then linking to guilt-by-unsought association crap about a “Nazi supporter” of Ron Paul, then finishes by saying that the most fiscally responsible member of congress is on a “spending spree.”

Poor Pamela. I’m afraid I don’t buy your little babe in the woods routine, my dear. I guess you’re learning that if you’re going to write snotty things about Ron Paul you’re going to get your pretty little cyberass handed right back to you.

Last night I posted a little something about Ron Paul here, perhaps for the first time, and a few of his supporters were not too pleased. I’m not a Ron Paul enthusiast, I must admit, and clearly as readers know I’m a liberal Democrat, who h…

Paul is big on “getting back to the Constitution’ but the S.C. disagrees with him on point after point that we’ve ever left it. Unless the guy is willing to agree that anything the S.C. says is legal is legal, I don’t want him anywhere near the Whitehouse. If he ever got his way, this country would devolve into utter chaos.

And so on that note, I thank you all for sharing. Had my email box not been filled for 2 days with the SPAM mentioned in the post and had I not run across the story on the SPAM, I would not have posted about Ron Paul.

As ironxl84 noted “This forum is actually very civil ” and sadly, it seems that Ron Paul supporters who have visited took undue offense to a post that was reitering what was already in the news and not actually dissing Paul purposely or intentionally.

I must be one of the lucky ones to not get any Ron Paul spam, too bad, it would have made a great opening if I were to write an infactual political hit piece. Go sit in the corner and read a book….possibly something by John Locke, then maybe, just maybe, you will have a clue as to what Liberty means and why the RP supporters are so passionate.

I kid…well…sorta

I happen to like Ron Paul because he is an inherently decent, honest and principled man. That is what distinguishes him from the rest of the Republican pack, and I find his candor to be refreshing.

However, I am NOT by any means in his “cult”, and I think that phrase creates a strong resentment on the part of his followers. They are fed up with the fact that the MSM keeps dismissing him as a sideshow and pushing the other 4 “frontrunners”, though every single one of them simply display varying levels of Ignorance and Intolerance.

I would also state that this forum in no way should be compared to FOX News with “slanted propaganda”. That is absurd.

This forum is actually very civil and informative, and I believe that many share my opinion.
