As I said, I have serious disagreements with Hunter on the war and foreign policy - but I'm not going to begin throwing silly statements, insults, and meaningless nitpicking around.
Part of the problem in our communication is that some Paul supporters seem to believe that all Paul detractors believe that Paul is crazy, or a muslim lover and such. I have never said these things. Yes, some have siad them, but myself, Once-a-Democrat, or MW have never said them. Paul detractors are every bit as diverse as Paul followers. Just as some Paul followers are consiracy theorists, that does not mean that they all are. Same goes for Paul detractors. We do not all think that he is anti-American etc. I do not believe he is a "traitor," or a "Muslim lover" etc. I do not even support the war. I just believe that Paul is not strong enough for our movement on illegal immigration and trade.

I want to hear the views and I want to see facts about all candidates. What I don't want to hear is some off the wall statement that is just political speak. Just me, but I've had enough buzz words, 'talking points', political spin to last me another lifetime. We should be way past that.
I believe that what I have provided, and have always provided, are the facts about Ron Paul. This time I decided to go straight to the horses mouth so all could see what the Paul campaign officially put's on his web-site. Its not talking points. I quoted from several different articles on his trade link to his site, It is clear that Paul has clearly dilineated that he is not a "fair trader." In one of my quotes he clearly dinstances himself from fair traders, and is in favor of free trade and ending tariffs unilaterally. But I agree we should not be using talking points and spin. I do not believe that I do, nor do I believe that I ever have. Again, we need not lump all Paul detractors in the same category.
