I think CR's comments were more toward Hickabee not being a Conservitive in reality rather than a negative comentary on conservitism.

i was really getting behind Fred. but Fred has disappointed. He has not built any kind of a political machine at all. I dont think he wants to do the work to get elected.

Ron Paul isnt my kind of guy for president at all. First he is more liberatarian than republican and I still believe in limited government instead of anarchy.

RPs ideas of what the constitution is, are vastly different than my own. i dont like RP, I dont thin he can get elected and I think he would be as bad for America as a democrat for vertually the opposite reasons.

well, as of now, in the primary i will vote for Huck. but a few months ago, it was Fred. I am cooling on Huck the more if find out about him.

Ron Paul isn't an anarchist. He simply wants more state-level government and less Federal government. That wouldn't be a bad thing. As far as the constitution, he just interpets it fairly literally.

well that is true, in spite of his flaws, and we all have them i would support him, i think our best ally will be if hillarious is nominated, she is a socailist, and will lose her cool and show the world that temper and then she is toast, lol,dt

I disagree with your assessment. Others do as well. I believe in Orriginal intent, however, RP acts for all intents and purposes that nothing happened after 1810. PR may see himself as Jeffersonian, but i assure you that Madison would not view RP as a postive influence.

RPs view of Americas place in the Global economy boarders on Isolationist and that will simply not work.

RPs view of the roll of Governemnt goes too far. RP may give lip service to the constitution but he and the Federalist papers seem to be at odds.

I just saw him for 2 minutes on Kenneth Copeland being interviewed. Copeland made a big statement that he was their as an ordained mininster not as a politician.

I guess everyone has a right to their opinion, but I don't see how you can say he is an isolationist. He believes that we shouldn't rely on other nations or organizations quite as much as we do now. And I don't see how wanting less Federal government is a bad thing.
