OK, "Veteran",even though I know it will just infuriate you more I think I''ll fill u in on a few more things.

I voted against Bush and Cheny in both elections and consider them both to be one of the worst things that have ever happened to America. I know you have a vivid imagination but I didn''t voice support for either one of them in any posting I have ever made anywhere, anytime.

So let''s see- so far youv''e incorrectly labeled me as a neocon, a flag supporter, a Bushie, anti-gay, Bible loving, and an Iraq War supporter. So far you''re 0-6. And the amazing thing is I have not voiced an opinion on any of those subjects in any of my posts in here, so obviously you''re just grasping at labels. I''m sure you have more in your little box.

Instead of just trying to label me, how about address the only point I''ve made here -- which is that Paul''s supporters are some of his own worst enemies. You quite obviously fall in that category. So instead of ranting about flag burning and Bushies and ***, how about try to stay on subject?

Now I am going to do what everyone else apparently has long since done and abandon this blog. You Paulbots have once again succeeded in alienating everyone around you. Have fun.

LOL. Now veteran71 thinks I''m a flaming neocon Bushie. Wow!!! Maybe I''m hiding under your bed too along with all of the other boogeymen in your head. BTW I served for seven years in the military and also don''t support the Iraq War. I''m also gay and an agnostic, so there goes the flag burning, bible, gaay marriage argument. But don''t let that diminish your hysteria. I hope for Paul''s sake you are not on the streets spouting this kind of nonsense at his rallies or his negatives will rise any further.

On a serious note -- I will assume that you are a veteran. Buddy go get some help at the VA. You''re very angry for some reason and you know talking to somebody might help. And the VA is free. I''m sorry my postings get you all agitated so I won''t personally respond to you in the future because I don''t want to make it worse. Good luck.

Hey classicdoc --

You are the first Paul supporter I''ve seen in any blog who is calm, rationale, and in control of himself. Too bad more supporters aren''t like you, which I think would help Paul greatly in his campaign. The rants by supporters like Veteran 71 just posted is a perfect example. Is anyone going to read that and a) vote for Paul and b) think this guy isn''t several fries short of a happy meal? OMG the Criminal Fascists are here !!!!!!!! Unfortunately his type is the prevalent one online.

bud28dy--I''ve heard that it''s mostly the new Paul supporters who are a bit rowdy, and they tend to settle down after awhile. Of course, new supporters keep flocking to the cause, and a lot of them are young. As a 60-year-old whole voted for Paul in ''88, I''m kinda settled. Anyhow, on Paul as an obstructionist--well, standing up for what''s right also means standing against what''s wrong, no? After all these years I''ve come to the conclusion that we''re better off the less Congress does. That may have something to do with why the 90s weren''t so bad. With gridlock between Clinton and the Republicans, we didn''t get too many new spending programs, the economy straightened out, debt got paid down.... Maybe the best thing Paul could do, after bringing home the troops, is veto every spending bill so the only spending that gets through is agreed to by a supermajority.

The Media gives comment and support to the candidates who spend the $$$ to buy there time, promote there rants, raves and faces, and alienate the others who dont want to give them millions for a few moments in a 2 yr campaign process, which personally to me, is insanely far too long. Simply put, media advertise what sells, & will cast unfavorable shadows on the ones who refuse to spend there campaign $ on biased (bought&paid for) media outlets. Any smart voter would ignore all the media frenzy, do there own research on what each candidate has acomplished, what positions they have consistantly stood for, what there actual TRUE past says. The garbage that gets tossed out there now, is the same lies and garbage that ALWAYS gets told to get elected.

Hey tuckerndfw --

Nice to see another voice of reason on here. I didin''t know a great deal about Paul when I went to a street fair here in LA in Sept. Several candidates had booths where they were calmy talking to people who stopped by. However, the Paul supporters walked through the crowd, basically getting in people''s faces. Folks who did stop and chat and raised questions about Paul''s positions were loudly called socialists, etc. One older woman asked about Paul''s wanting to abolish Social Security -- amazingly the supporters response was that she should rely on friends and stop mooching off young people like him. Needless to say they alientated far more people with their methods than they won over. Their rants in all of the blogs are essentially of the same tone and character. Unfortunately Paul''s message is being ruined by his messengers. I have no doubt they are largely responsible for his 45% unfavorability rating.

Case in point -- just look at the rabid postings which this will engender.

It''s the types of postings Ron supporters are making on here that have hurt Paul so much. His negatives are at 45% and his positives only 23%. That number is amazing considering that he has not been vetted or criticized by the media (in fact they''''ve ignored him as they well should), and he has also been ignored by his fellow candidates. The other candidates never mention him much less criticize him. That means the only info the public is getting about him is from the candidate and you folks, which is probably the most favorable info possible. And yet with no one publicly saying bad things about him, 45% of the population has a negative opinion. In other words Paul''''s own positions and the unfortunate manner in which many of his supporters have been rabidly presenting his case has hurt him tremendously. The same thing happened to Howard Dean. His own supporters were often his worst enemy.

BTW, I posted this several times to counter a previous poster who posted his over and over hoping to wipe all negative Paul comments off the first page.
