Beware False Ron Paul Republicans

Ron Paul’s success in building a big, enthusiastic grassroots movement brings with it a serious problem: the potential for phony Ron Paul Republicans who seek to take advantage of it.
This was made clear to me when I read an interview in my neighborhood newspaper with a candidate for Congress who had appeared numerous times at local Ron Paul Meetup events posing as a Ron Paul Republican. He didn’t mention it to Ron Paul supporters, but he told the paper that "the surge is working." I see now that his website adds that "Americans prefer victory to defeat" and that "President Bush executed the war exactly the way it should be executed." In other words, the candidate who was happy to allow Ron Paul supporters to think he was one of them is, in fact, a John McCain Republican. (He also supports socializing the "legal industry" — a prospect I find particularly distasteful!).
More success will attract more characters like this, of course. Such is politics.

As a buckeye, I am ashamed that this person (and I use that term loosely) is claiming to be conservative. This is the reason that Ohio is in such a world of s---. I am SOOOOOO ready to move from this “black” heartland of america.

McCain is a piece of s--- at best.

Ron Paul had a chance to do something about this when he began his campaign, but instead he denied any govt. involvement in 9/11. YouTube: Ron Paul on 9/11 Truthers.
Because of this, the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, Guantanamo Bay, are considered legitimate actions in response to a horrific act of terrorism. RP’s campaign has no traction w/o 9/11 truth.
When this is over, the US will be a scorched land without a soul.

Who is this guy?

BTW, I agree with jay lee (above) concerning the denial of 9/11 truth by RP & the campaign. I got a sinking feeling in my stomach when RP went on traitor Glenn Beck’s show to honestly spread the message, then ended up denying any people who question the 9/11 official story. That was an enormous mistake.

Dr. paul is smarter than blowing off like an idiot and exposing everything he knows just to align with everyones feelings. He’s already on an edge that mainstream can hardly fathom, by shouting conspiracy the average dumb ass in American would wright him off and not catch the message of Freedom which will smoke out the truth on things like 9/11. Support the man and movement that will allow you to be hurd! You take on the task of 9/11 truth after Ron Paul provides the means to the end.
Dr. Paul has lit a fire of freedom in Americas heart, don’t stamp it out with stupid selfeshness!!!
As tragic and sickening as 9/11,waco,oklahoma, and on and on are, that fight is up to us and so is spreading the message. Never by devided over Freedom as that is were we are and need to run from!! Unite unite and win the fight!!!!

ron paul sucks he’s an idiot, the only reason i even supported him was because i knew was a lot better than the other idiots running for president
March 2nd, 2008 at 4:54 am
Hey mike: Don’t be so disapointed. ron paul was riped off and so was the rest of us. If you know a better person for the JOB i’m all ears. I think that the only reason that you call ron paul an idiot is beacuse you wanted him to win. It is hard when most shallow Americans to get mad when threir favorite team does not win. I have to hand it to paul though, he has made an impact on me as well!! Sorry our team didn’t win.. Power to the peacefull RIO in NC

Well, the fact is, the publics attention is captivated by the CFR’s groomed candidate, Ron isn’t in the list so, there’s too many examples of this procedure being implemented by the elite. I only know, when it comes to the general election, I know I’m voting for Ron Paul, even if I have to write him in ! I’m not moved by Ron Paul Look-A-Likes or any other deceptive game that goes on with the media nonsense blabbering out of their mouths. I live by facts and reasons, I live in reality, not fantasy. When I see the other candidates, I see a groomed talking heads, that has no brains; no sense of reality, or sense of direction; for US and the Constitution.
I don’t vote to feel like an outsider, I vote my conscience for what’s best for our country and the constitution. When I see Unions making money while the rest are in recession, I know the crooked bastards are controlling our economy for their benefit……I want Change !

While I have said here before that I like RP, the reason he didn’t get much support from MSM had a great deal to do with issues that many of his supporters were behind. No candidate that is supported heavily by 9/11 conspiracy theorists will ever win the election. His movement was all about setting the government on it’s ear. While that may sound great in theory, people will not vote for an upheaval. Right or wrong, that is not how you win elections. He should have picked some key issues, and stuck to them. The fear of the unknown (what will it be like if he is President) cost him the election. It was refreshing to hear someone be convicted in their beliefs. However, some of the fringe groups that supported him, made him come off as a kook, which I do not believe him to be. He denounced 9/11 truthers half-heartedly and too late.

Voting is now the opiate of the masses. Did you really think Ron Paul would be allowed to win ?
The winner of the 08 election was decided several years ago.
March 2nd, 2008 at 6:20 am
the assholes who diss ron paul, say he sucks and is an idiot are obviously retarded, barcalounger cowboys. the message is important.
Thank a Marine for your freedoms: I highly suspect you were a willing killing machine and there’s not one f---ing reason I should ever thank your sorry ass.
as for your joke about conspiracy theorists, please note you will eat your words when you are forced into a fema camp, starved and tortured…unless you’ve sold your hearts to satan.

I hope and pray that those kind of charliatians won’t taint Ron Paul’s movement. I’m a big supporter of Ron Paul. He’s got the right ideas and has basic common sense, which is lacking among the Neocons and the liberals.

american’s who didn’t wote 4 ron paul are the blame for a future disaster which is coming!!!every nation deserves their leaders!bye bye idoitic-stupid brainwashed sheeple!!!bye bye AMERICA…..it was a good country……very sad..tragic….

To thankamarineforyourfreedom, Fear of the unknown is what made this country great. My ancesters hit the beach in Maine in 1756. I am sure there was a little fear. 80 percent of the jobs in this country are provided by small business owners who face fear of the unknown everyday. I appreciate your service to our country, my father fought in the Korean War. I don’t think its the fear of the unknown. Its ignorance,apathy and a brainwashing machine called the media,federal(although private)reserve,political parasites in congress who have sold their soul.
You almost sound like that car-ville guy.
