Don't forget, a Republican is a Republican.

Let's try it this way: you know damn well he would kowtow to the Right, religious "conservatives", The NRA-etc.

WRONG! (again)
Come see what's happening in Alaska with the Republican Party. From a previous post of mine, and I quote myself:
"Paul is the leading Republican candidate in Alaska ( which has what, one electoral vote?)
Too bad the Repubs in the rest of the country can't get their shit together the way AK repubs have. The neocons are basically being cleaned out, investigated, tried, convicted and sentenced (http://ktuu.images.worldnow.com/imag...y_catalog.html)
and a new breed has emerged which isn't bad. The present gov. Palin is one who challenged the incumbent rep. gov. (a neo con type) in the primary and won it and the general election (against a highly regarded Dem. ex-gov) in landslides. She's highly regarded and has approval ratings hovering around 90 %.

From Anchorage Daily News, a very liberal newspaper owned
"89-93 POLL RATINGS: Palin has pleased most voters by sticking to her promises."

Ah sh*t man: any Republican is a person who is fundamentally against people, even if they have no outward personal philosophy that specifies their position.
Let's try this: tell me which Republican before the 2006 elections put some "lead in their pencils", ever voted against a Republican (anti-people) agenda?
Not the lip service of voting against pending legislation, but voting against enabling legislation on final passage?
What you are saying is Republicans like Paul would once in a while vote with Democrats if their own personal philosophies clashed with the Republican plank.
That is so much horse-hockey: even you know the likelyhood of a serving Republican going against a serving President or Congress is literally and figuratively unheard of.
In essence: there ain't no "maverick" Republicans, not even Paul.

I agree & "incestuous" seems to be a very accurate assessment of the past & present relationship..........

I now have doubts about the "need" for the mass buildup & all the hysteria that accompanied it....... Much of which we now know was the direct result of American intransigence & hegemony rather then the one sided bull shit we learned how it was "all their fault"............

Correct. Paul has. Also, Gov. Sarah Palin and co. are turning the old guard republicans in Alaska on their head. They are pissed at her. They are about the only people in AK that don't like her.

I've heard of Paul. And he has gone against a serving Pres. and at the time went against his own majority party, as well as against the Dem. minority .

I think the most glaring example of how Paul is different from Repubs is that he's never voted to fund the Iraq war. That also makes him different from most Dems, too.
You are a bigot:

Of what import is that?

That Ron Paul is a REPUBLICAN; which tells you more about Ron Paul than Ron Paul himself is willing to tell you about Ron Paul; and that a lying SOB (Paul) is a lying SOB (read: Republican).

What is disingenuous about Ron Paul supporters (and Ron Paul himself) is he has tried to paint himself as something other than what he is: kinda like a "New, populist Republican, an Eisenhower of sorts", a man who was-if all who remember him recall-under the Wolves clothing; a rock-rib Republican.

Add to my apt conclusion (above) the fact John McCain is a war-mongerer par excellance' wearing Sheep's clothing.
He continues to bleat out his "kill them all-let god sort them out" mantra while spouting his other BS political rhetoric.
Elect him and you get "Dubya ll".

That's great.
I could never figure how Alaska could hold a special place in my heart with all them repugnicans up there. Now, I say, "Yay."
And, "Thank you Alaskans."
