RON PAUL........ FTW

...He is a dangerous nutcase...

Really? I guess I need to do more research. Is there a quote or a link that demonstrates your point, ebrown?

"Many more are going to have difficultly avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists -- and they can be identified by the color of their skin. This conclusion may not be entirely fair, but it is, for many, entirely unavoidable.

Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action.... Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal. "

Google says it means For The Win. I think jasonrest is a Ron Paul supporter.

I like Ron Paul, and wish he had a chance in hell. He's just about the only Republican that sounds as if he might have actually thought about the issues and come up with conclusions using his very own brain.

Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal

we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.

I looked into him and found stuff like this:

From Ron Paul's self-published 1992 newsletter,
The Ron Paul Political Report:

Quote:

You have to dig around a little to avoid the endless Ron Paul Fan sites, but there is plenty of information like this if you search. He has good sound bites, but his substance is scary.

Can you provide a direct link?

... and while his chances look slim, ...

"In 2001, Paul took "moral responsibility" for the comments printed in his newsletter under his name, telling Texas Monthly magazine that the comments were written by an unnamed ghostwriter and did not represent his views. ..."

ebrown beat me to it. However, it appears on a few reputable places on the web. You can search around and pick a source you like.

I'm not trying to pick on you jason, I just want you (and anyone else) to go beyond what a politician says when he is doing a stump speech and look at other sources.
