1. Another Debtpublic who will be slipping on the Gimp Suit
And groveling at Limpballs feet in the very near future.

2. Well even Ron kind of weaseled on the front end but then
ended on a positive note and a good message. Why are we discussing more about how the Republicans got us to where we are today?

3. I agree, however
I think he did speak well and identified one thing that probably gets overlooked in these cases.

Semantics... He did make a good point that the interviewer was kind of pushing the point maybe a little much to get Ron Paul to say something incindiary (sp?).

I do think he finished well and had some great points.

If there were more Ron Pauls, I think the GOP would be in better shape than they are now... by a long shot.

5. Sounded to me like he was afraid to confront Limbaugh.
He tried to avoid aswering the question.

I think anyone else would be called out as being a slick politician. "Yes, he's wrong if..."; "I was disappointed with Rush because he is a good conservative..." He covered himself by putting disclaimers everywhere, but he followed that up by pointing out how Rush was not conservative and those points show that Rush was merely partisan; I only hear dissonance there.

He was trying to avoid confrontation and I think he only ended up criticising Rush because Schuster pushed the issue.

6. And I agree on the semantics issue
It's just he didn't sound like he was coming off good at first but once he got his mojo going he ended real well and brought some important issues to the conversation.

7. was Ronnie whimpering
When asked if Rush is the head of the party he kind of squeaked out a no. Even Ron Paul is Rush's footstool.
