52. I have never supported Ron Paul

Sun Jan 1, 2012, 04:15 PM

Jan 2012

Ever. And I have posted several times that I disagree with Greenwald on Ron Paul.

I have always voted for Democrats. You have no right or basis to question my credentials as a progressive.

You called Greenwald a Republican. Now you call him a Libertarian. He is neither. You have no evidence to support these shifting, slanted views.

I already gave Barack Obama a lot of support in 2008, back when he was against war.

I have been posting here a long time and I didn't know people had to march in lockstep. This is not a Stalinist website.

I already answered your silly question about why I am defending Greenwald. But I noticed you didn't answer mine.
