So you're just going to make a blatantly bad comment without even reading the article. Perhaps you should read the article before you speak. He's stirring up republicans because he's going to win.

if the definition-usage of "stirring" here is more synonymous with bother than gather then my statement remains true despite whether or not i read the article. that is irrelevant. if my guess at your usage of the word in the article's title is incorrect then that is a different story.
its not a bad comment, just a comment. his strategy of making the wrong type of enemies is counter-productive to his quest for the office and it is making wide-eyed dreamers like yourself waste votes.
just because its a flash of the reality light on your precious savior Dr. Paul, that does not mean the comment is bad.
being the most honest guy running and telling all his plans without the political BS does NOT make him the best man for the job.

You twisted the term "stirring up". It doesn't mean bother. You're commenting without even knowing in what context the term is being used. Read the article. He's not making enemies he's gaining ground and gathering momentum. Being truthful and sincere is what all politicians should be but so few are. Dr. Paul is the exception. He is the best man for the job not because he's honest and sincere. He is the best man for the job because he is right. They don't challenge him on the issues, they try to smear and lie about him. Anyone who can only be fought through lies is truly the leader this country needs.

Well to be fair any could make a career out of correcting Bachmann's facts.
The GOP has spent months tying not to select Mitt, at some point you'd think they'd come around to Paul.

Paul's comments last night abour Iran and their nuclear capability made him look extra-looney.
I like Paul, and I can understand the libertarian approach. But common sense has to be part of the equation, and why he refuses to acknowledge that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon is scary, and it won't go away no matter how deep Paul buries his head in the sand.

A lot of the problems I have with Paul involve his logic of it's either this crazy option or my crazy option... thee are no other options. Usually that logic produces rather odd fallacies.

It's amazing how she gets away with making things up. Every debate she says something that's completely untrue.

Because what he's really saying (but can't say) is let Israel deal with it. We shouldn't get involved.

How is it common sense to start another war when the USA is bankrupt financially? How are you going to pay for it?
Ron Paul is right. This is nothing more than more war propaganda. Just like Iraq. We were told they have "weapons of mass destruction". Total bullshit.
Now, Iran is a threat because they might try to build a nuke and now we have to bomb them and start another war? Here's an idea. Let israel fight their own battles instead of having the USA do it.
Far from common sense, this is insanity.

So the only two options are either we start a war with them or let Israel deal with the problem alone? More "it's either this option or that option logic" in my opinion when the reality is they are a many possible ways to deal with it.

No, I didn't say that. I said I support Ron Paul's position that we don't need another war.
I would leave Iran alone since they aren't a threat to the USA. If israel thinks they are a threat then let them deal with it.

Sorry I quoted what you said because I thought that's what you were saying. Rereading I could see how what you wrote could be taken more then one way.
So the US should simply stay out of it even if Iran is building a Nuke?

but do you support ron paul's position that we need to bring All the Troops home from hostile territories right now???
THAT is the question. hes no general or friend of the general. how the F*ck does he even have the audacity to pretend like he knows whats going on?
i like Dr. Paul as a person. he is a dreamer. some of his policies are extreme, ignorant, dangerously presumptive.
he wants to get rid of all these programs and departments but he doesn't seem to understand that there is an infrastructure in place. things are as simple as he thinks.
but at least he's honest. no body can take that away from him. hes the only guy speaking his mind but that doesnt make him the best guy for the job.

Yes. First, we can't afford another war. We have no money.
Secondly, there are many nations that have nuclear weapons, should we bomb them all?
Third, Iran is not threat to the USA.

Please stop with the nonsense. There is nothing Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, or Rick Santorum knows better than Ron Paul.
As far as your question if I support bringing all the troops home from hostile territories, the answer is yes.
How is having over 900 bases in over 130 countries a benefit to us?
How is having troops on, say, the Korean border helping us in any way?
How can we continue to afford to pay for over 900 bases in over 130 countries around the world?
How can we afford to keep these wasteful, massive, departments of government that do nothing positive?
If you think Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney or Michele Bachmann can solve these problems better than Ron Paul could than I would say it's you who is the dreamer.
