First of all, I'm becoming more and more impressed by the way Ron Paul tactically (and strategically) knows his position, and firmly stands behind it. I think it is in EVERYONE's best interest to know why some of his controversial points of view are as they are. In order to do so, I compiled my own way of dealing in a respectful manner for each of the following positions posed by democrats, neocons, and foreign activists.

I researched these because I wanted answers, and I found exactly what I was looking for:

Here we go:

On why he wouldn't accept a Bush endorsement (recent interview), see the following column:

On being anti-war (which he is not, he's anti THIS act of agression):

On ending the war on drugs:

On being pro-life:

Now, for interesting tidbits to arm you when you actually get in on a phone line to a televised interest.

Glenn Beck has said he agrees with Ron Paul on almost every stance except the following two. Supporters are a "radical group", and that Ron is not a viable candidate because of stature and image. Well, here you go:

And for his image, I think the mosaic is the most powerful, use the image contained in this article:

I want to keep adding to this thread as I find specific parts to combat the common analogy. I truly believe that Rush Limbaugh is sliding in his perspective views as a neo-con, and the time might be right soon to present a united, carefully thought out and demonstrated position that would be in the best interest of the neo-con base. If you notice he has yet to attack Ron Paul except proclaiming that he doesn't have the required support to get the nomination and that his response to Guilliani about 9/11 was taken the wrong way. This is easily rectified.

The Glenn Beck interview MUST happen, because of them all, I think Glenn is the closest to moving to a full support mode. There must be a cohesive response to his challenge of an intelligent Ron Paul supporter arguing any discrepancies.

That's it for now.

Well, actually he is anti-war - which is a good thing. Anybody who isn't anti-war in general is a fool. That doesn't mean he opposes protecting the country with military force if neccessary. War is something you only do when you HAVE to and as a last option.
