Wikipedia has decent definitions, should you care to extend yourself to look those terms up. Paul is against abortion, against gun control, for smaller government, none of which are typical "Liberal" talking points last I checked. You can look it up on his website. He also happens to be the sole "Conservative" candidate (you can look up that definition, too) who opposes the war. Freak? Sure, why not. Maybe not of the Rick James variety. Anyone who deviates from the norm, or at least is willing to speak up for his or her beliefs against a rising tide of conformity, fits that moniker. I personally vastly disagree with Paul's social viewpoints - but I respect his willingness to speak to them, and along with so many others, admire his candor in pulling back the curtain on the financial wizards who have led us into ruin. What does "Republican" mean to you, John? Reflexive posturing? Or an examination of (some of) the tenets that (at least in name) underpin what Ronald Reagan was about, including smaller government? Or does it mean simply parroting what our current president espouses - the largest buildup of government spending in the history of the US, and attacking anyone who dares to call a spade, a spade? @John

That’s “Libertarian”, not “Liberal”. Wikipedia has decent definitions, should you care to extend yourself to look those terms up.

He needs to quit calling himself a Republican. Ron Paul is a freak and a liberal. He needs to quit calling himself a Republican.

The "fittest" does not mean the toughest nor most ruthless, not to Darwin nor to modern biologists. Altruism, sacrificing for offspring, cooperation are also adaptive traits.They have survival value in particular environments. The US is the most compassionate country is history, because it can afford to be. And we have been successful because of it. Republicanism has never been shortsighted, brutal, or reflexively militaristic. So it would be inaccurate to characterize a "true" Republican as such...unless one is an "authentic" Democrat for whom accuracy is subjective. You need to re-read, or just read, natural selection.

Don’t you remember WHY we’ve been voting Republican for that last 40 years? It’s to get even with "those people" and the liberals that ruined this great nation. Now, when we are almost at the END – when the plan is almost COMPLETE – you are abandoning the only political philosophy that has ANY chance of success, which is "survival of the fittest". And we know WHO the fittest are, right? Our great leader STILL has 30% approval ratings from the TRUE patriotic peasant class. And, all I hear on this site – a site of nobility - is this defeatist talk. You sound like a bunch of Democrats on here. Keep your eye on the goal, the Party knows WHAT is best for America ! Remember: Help Jesus get EVEN, KEEP voting for REAL Republicans! Not some Democrat pretender like Ron Paul! What is the MATTER with all you ex-patriotic “conservatives” in this country?
