So what's the freeper take on Ron Paul? Do they hate him, or pretending that he doesn't exist?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Just curious.

1. considering all the fake applause last night I think they hate him. n/t

[HockeyMom]

2. Fred Thompson is their new Golden Boy

They are waiting with baited breath until he announces. Duncan Hunter is "unelectable" now. lol

Ron Paul is only passing because he meets the Pro Life criteria, unlike Rudy McRomney.

[unpossibles]

3. I think they're confused because Paul ran on the Libertarian ticket

and that's what they are claiming to be, so until Drudge & Rush tell them what to do, they'll be seriesly confused.

5. Rush made sure to slander Congressman Paul today for

not being "realistic" about protecting American National Interests. As Dr. Zinn stated America's National Interests are not the interests of 298 million Americans.

8. He's their Dennis Kucinich

He's cute, likable, well intended, principled, good for the sound bite, impossible to contain, but really overall, he is just a pain in the ass to his own party whenever his vote is needed because his goals are so different than the party at large.

Ron in particular is a bitch to coerce because he doesn't believe in ANY government spending at all no matter what, and that makes it a bitch to buy him off with pork. When I was living in Austin, I remember hearing about how his district was threatened with punishment if he didn't vote the party line on something because his principles made it impossible to bribe him, in a way.

Ron Paul is only a Republican because you have to be in a major party to win in rural Texas, and that party better start with an R.

I have a feeling that if we were more of a multi-party, parliamentary system Dennis might leave us for the Greens or the Liberal Party or some such (I would too).

9. They are allowed to post positive things about him, probably

because they realize he doesn't stand a chance in hell.

10. Hate him.

He's a small "c" Conservative, not a freaking fascist.

Ron Paul beat Rudy Giuliani in Fox's own poll last night, then they pulled the poll.

[enfield collector]

11. they hate him because he's actually trying to uphold

his oath to protect the constitution of the United States of America

[unlawflcombatnt]

12. Exactly

And we can't have that now, can we. After all, the Great Divider has declared it nothing but a "g**d*** piece of paper."

How dare Ron Paul think otherwise.
