(45,319 posts)who is actually supporting him is not a liberal. My post meant this: I sure don't know any liberals who support Paul, and in my opinion, supporting him means they are not liberal at all. Of course thinking he's screw the GOP as a third Party guy is not the same as supporting him, Jaysus.
The OP claims there is a 'certain' group who are liberals supporting Paul. I'm saying I don't know any, did not know any during the 20 years or so Paul has remained high on my shit list, and that if a person supported him, they'd no longer count as liberal. Sorry if you don't care for that. Paul is a long time nemesis of mine, disliked him long, long ago, I need no permission from anyone to rip him to shreds.
Now. I also don't see the President as a liberal. Like Paul, he opposes equal rights for my community due to religious dogma they share. I'll as always, cast one against the GOP, which is sort of 'for' the President. He opposes my rights, so I am not really all that thrilled with him, he and Paul are the same in that regard, State's rights and God In the Mix nonsense.
To me, a Paul supporter is a person who wants him to get elected President. I see one on roadside with a sign some days. One. Not a liberal. I know that just glancing at him, as he supports the election of Paul. A right winger. A Republican.
People discussing Paul are not supporters of Paul. As a major opponent of Paul's who was discussing him years ahead of the DU frenzy, I think he and his policies need to get aired out and discussing in the full light of day. The DNC should take up the few areas which Paul uses to draw in support. We should stand for peace and for an end to the insane drug policy.
So why I'd get you upset is hard for me to see. I'll talk Paul all day if you want. I do not want him elected, nor do you, it seems. I think we agree.
I just do not think he has 'certain' liberal supporters. He's got right wing supporters he's a Republican with an interesting set of campaign rhetoric, that's it.
