"As for Rep. Ron Paul of Texas..."

[Richandler]

From the West County Times in California.

"As for Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, these Republicans said they like his commonsense apporach but called his policies too radical and say he seems to view the presidency as the job of a king."

This was in my local paper and it was the only paragraph that talked about Paul it a obsession fest with the other 3 and in particular Huckabee.

The people prove themselves time and time again to be very ignorant of everything.

This was a article about the debate BTW.

That is 100% insane. King? wtf? That's like an accusation a 13 year old makes up to attack the kid he's arguing with.

You need to call that reporter and set him straight. Obviously he has no understanding of the facts and is NOT doing his readers any service. If he is a decent reporter he will listen, verify what you say and write about it.

Really incredible these people that call themselves journalists these days. What nerve. We have to call them on it especially at the local level where our voices are louder and we have more of a chance to be heard and making a difference.

Ron needs to stop using the word "Empire"

Small-minded imbeciles hear the word and don't put it in context.

Are these people on crack? Maybe I am not reading the quote correctly (I failed 1 year of high school because of English) but are they implying that Ron Paul wants to be king or that a President should be a king?

[freejack]

if you give us his email we'll do the rest.

[bucfish]

Yeah an email address would be nice

[PhillyEagles11]

So Paul wanting LESS power in the presidency makes him a king? Ignorance is an awfully tall wall to overcome.

[specsaregood]

Its sad that the only guy that says "It is NOT the job of the President to.....insert lots of stuff..." is misunderstood like that.

Edit: or it is intentional. hrm....

[Richandler]

Bare in mind I believe this is from a focus group of sorts the "reporter" worked with. Although it was not actually quoted or implied that someone said it.

I thought it was good that he used that word. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think most people watching the debates aren't small minded imbeciles. The idiots are watching Rock of Love on VH1.

When he says empire, it becomes obvious we are just trying to police the world. I think most people can make that connection, because RP usually says "police the world" when he mentions "empire."

"but called his policies too radical and say he seems to view the presidency as the job of a king."

What the freaking hell is this? Are we talking about the same Ron Paul that wants to eliminate the Patriot Act, restore Habeus Corpus, would not abuse the executive order, would not over rule the bills that come to his desk through the use of Presidential Signing Statements? Seriously...WTF is this crap!!!????

[mjp1025]

It IS an empire...and it's on the verge of collapse.

[Voluntaryist]

Stupid paperboy:

"OMG RON PAUL DOESNT WANT TO RUN AN EMPIRE! OMG RON PAUL WANTS TO OPEN UP THE FREE MARKETS! WHAT A TYRANT WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! HES TOO RADICAL!"

[crazyfingers]

I was in a conveinence store earlier today and overheard two people talking about who they were going to vote for in the upcoming primary. When asked the first guy said he was voting for John McCain...at this point I interjected and said "You really should look into Ron Paul" and his reply to me was "I'm not voting for a liberal." WTF? This from a McCain supporter of all things. I tried to set him straight but it just goes to show how clueless most people are.

[Richandler]

To me this spells out how important our fight against the media is as much as fighting the other candidates.

That's INSANE! AYE!

You can't fix stupid!

[bcreps85]

Kings like power...and he's the only candidate wanting to relinquish power back onto the PEOPLE. Whoever said this should DIAF.

[blakjak]

c'mon guys, don't you know by now... constitution = radical

[CrownThyGood]

hillay clinton - "i wanna run the government" - queen hillary -- :eek:PukE!:eek:

[Iconoclast777]

that really angers me...

he has in no way implied the presidency is a king's job...

actually, he said the opposite, but i guess she wasnt listening...

[WilliamC]

I swear too many of those brainwashed by the MSM and poor public schooling actually have some sort of dyslexia where they hear the exact opposite of what is said.

Why else would McCain be getting the anit-war vote and Ron Paul be compared to a king?

It's like people hear 1 out of every 5 words someone says and base their thinking on what they had for breakfast that morning.

[Sunshinysmile]

No, he thinks that we worship Ron Paul like a king because we show up with the Fife and Drum in uniform! We know the message rote! We trust our candidate to be the way he has always been! I can't wait to see the Ron Paul supporters and delegates show out at the convention!!!! Suppose the gun lovers show up with their MUSKETS!!!!!!!!

I love this revolution!!

[RSLudlum]

I thought the Ghoul was the only one running for King of the United States?

[Goldwater Conservative]

Romney: "I want to run the economy."
McCain: "I want Jack Kemp to run the economy while I start more wars."
Huckabee: "I want to make laws according to the Bible."
Paul: "I want to let you live your lives."

Seriously, I don't see how even the most totally uneducated buffoon could misinterpret that.
