"Ron Paul hates govt intervention, likes mandatory vaginal ultrasound probes"

[JackRiddler]

12. Obviously your preference is for Romney, Gingrich or Santorum.

And your real preference is for continued war, drug war and the latest NDAA.

You haven't started 50 threads to attack Romney, Gingrich or Santorum.

You must think Ron Paul is worse.

Do you care to argue that these other Republicans are less racist? Because that's a hilarious proposition!

Gingrich didn't publish racist rhetoric in newsletters 20 years ago, he's been publishing racist books for the last 20 years. Santorum just disavowed giving help to black, um "blah" people! Romney wants to get that "tar baby." They're all in the party that has pandered to racism as its presidential strategy since 1968. The only difference is that Paul's politics might release hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the drug war - most of them people of color.

The most important differences between Paul and the other Republicans are the issues on which Paul also disagrees with Obama, the issues on which Obama agrees with Romney/Santorum/Gingrich: to maintain drug prohibition and drug war, to give a legal framework for indefinite preventive detention of citizens without legal counsel, to maintain 800+ military bases and military spending that eats half the discretionary budget and is greater than at least "the next 10 nations combined" (in Obama's words!).

The daily exorcism of Ron Paul is a device with which you beat up on liberals and leftists (who don't support Paul's candidacy) for not agreeing with Obama (and also Romney/Santorum/Gingrich) on these matters.
