When talking about someone that changes his stance like the wind blows? We're talking about a panderer that changes on what his current crowd wants to hear. He's even changed his stance within the year on the Middle East, from insisting on American boots on the ground to air strikes.

Whether he said it 10 years ago or 10 minutes ago, he has proven that he changes his stances and plays both sides of the field. Lack of consistency and honesty (some of Ron Paul's best qualities) give me pause, and make it hard to believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

If he can't even take his own marriage vows seriously, how can one expect him to take his oath of office, (or anything else really) seriously? And as silly as it sounds, he's been accused multiple times in the past of cheating at golf - GOLF! My God, is that really necessary??? It's a game for Christ sakes! I can't even begin to imagine how he would behave with other world leaders, or the constitution simply because the "rules" don't apply to him.

I've never known the difference.  It was a pleasure to meet Lawrence in DC on a visit to see Ron.  For what its worth they are both pillars for the philosophy of liberty.

BTW anyone ever think about a nick name for this place.

I remember we were surprised he wasn't dead yet.  Well there you go.  70 is a long life of partying though.

Yes, that is Mark Knopfler playing a sweet lead, here. Check out other cuts from Slow Train Coming, to hear more of their brilliant collaborations.

as long as he did. Don't know how true the claims of drinking an entire bottle of whiskey are. He certainly seemed to live life to the fullest. Good for you Lemmy! Thanks for the music, memories, and may you rest in peace (or keep ripping it up).

but there are some here that seem to be losing hope even before the 1st caucus. Others that may be lurking and/or new to the election process may be swayed and give up before the fight even begins. It's a direct cause of being hopeless & negative which results in  divisiveness - something the Trump supporters over at PL were allowed and encouraged to do.

It's as Rand said, voters are being swayed by worthless polls and essentially being told who to vote for - and the voters, like good little sheep, listen and obey.

Edit - This was a reply to #3, which for some reason appeared "above" it as #2.

Funny how familiar formats seem friendlier, but reading around here a bit before jumping in, I found enough like-minds to give it a try.

I had some parting words for PL that I was working on before the computer grinch pulled her down. Perhaps they were meant to be better said here, moving forward, than left where they might never be read.

Those of us who have been paying attention since Ron's first campaign are not fooled at all.

those bastards. i spent months in the hospital and it was terrible. hospitals are on of the worst places you can go when you're in need of help. they will keep you there just to suck your insurance dry and send you the bill for the balance. the healthcare system is pathetically messed up in this country. good for him and his father.
