Ron Paul much easier to listen to than grinch or mittens, imo.

[elleng]

A little 'out there,' but not a demagogue.

1. all you paulbots are the same

[hlthe2b]

5. elleng is not a paulbot.

No way...

[mdmc]

12. You are correct my friend

Peace and low stress..

[elleng]

13. Thanks, hlthe and mdmc!

[Warpy]

2. Uh, he's a demagogue of the first order.

He just raves in that doctor's delivery that sounds so reasonable even when he's spouting utter nonsense.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yes.. I'd never vote for him, but he does come across better-- less "mad dog" (Newt)

less religious crazy (Santorum), less slimy (Mitt). If you weren't really listening to everything he says, but just how he says it, he sounds quite sane and reasonable.

[Old and In the Way]

4. I agree...without knowing his background and based strictly on his concession speech,

he sounded the most reasonable of the 3 candidates. I didn't pay any attention to Santorum's.

[klook]

6. What's really scary

is seeing the young people enthusiastically supporting Ron Paul. I hope a large percentage of them eventually learn enough to figure out that what he advocates is extremely destructive.

[elleng]

14. They will, imo, but it may take a while.

[Uncle Joe]

7. I feel the same way.

Thanks for the thread, elleng.

[elleng]

15. YVW, Joe.

Just had to comment, ESPECIALLY after hearing grinch.

[femmocrat]

8. NOT a "paulbot" either, but I don't mind him.

At least compared to the other 3 candidates who are unbearable, IMO.

Paul has kind of a funny, folksy way about him that makes him kind of tolerable. I can understand why his fans like him. (But, I repeat, I am NOT one of them!!!)

LOL

[tabatha]

9. I agree with even though I despise libertarianism.

I despise Republicanism more.

At least Ron Paul sticks to the same message. He is sincere.

[phleshdef]

10. I wouldn't vote for him to run a lemonade stand. But he keeps a respectable attitude.

Even in the debates, he doesn't go out of his way to talk nasty about others, not even Obama. He keeps it cordial and that I respect, if not much else.

[elleng]

16. Right, a major part of my feeling, I think,

is that he does NOT get nasty or lie about PrezO and his policies.
With the others hanging around, its gonna be a LOOOOONG year, imo.

[highplainsdem]

11. Maybe it's because I know a Paulbot who won't shut up, but I can't stand Ron Paul, or take him

seriously.

He's sort of the crackpot uncle who might be occasionally entertaining to listen to at family gatherings, and once in a while he even meanders to some opinion you agree with, but you know he's also a bigot, and you're thankful he doesn't really have any power.

[Brother Buzz]

17. If you challenge him and get him on the defensive he sounds irritating as hell

Just like an excited Barney Fife.
