Like Bubba or not he was the most gifted politician we have seen since Reagan and probably tops Reagan in most ways.
But if you are the Prez and you are gonna cheat why those skanks?

Why can't we just get Bill Clinton back again?
Did you see the interview he did with Bill O'Reilly a week or two ago? I'm not a Bill Clinton fan, I'm very much a Reagan Republican (the real type, not the revisionist Sean Hanity type tyvm) but I gotta give the man credit where credit was due. O'Reilly asked him a ton of hard, fair and appropriate questions. Tough stuff. and on every one, at every beat Clinton responded just absolutely perfectly. It was striking at how well he came accoss, and how much he still can inspire and seem presidential. Particularly when contrasted with the entire GOP field and most notably the current occupier of the White House.
I'm more of a Republican than a Democrat, but yeah, Clinton outshines anyone currently.

I completely agree with Faefrost. My complaint is more with Ron Paul supporters (aka hale bop comet wannabe spazzoids) than Ron Paul. Ron Paul's foreign policy ideas make him unelectable in any major election. Also, the fact that he spent decades in Congress and only passed 1 piece of legislation makes him a crappy leader. BUT, and this is a big but, I hope whoever the nominee is recognizes that his fiscal ideas and portions of his platform really resonate with people, and should not be ignored. He has much to contribute in that way and I hope he is treated with respect when this is all settled. I would love to see him take a more prominent role. Maybe his chanting, eyes-rolled-into-the-back-of-their-heads, batsh*t crazy followers can find that acceptable. We can only hope.
With the way you keep spouting off about how Ron Paul supporters are deluded and brainwashed, it makes me wonder if you are in touch with how most of the United States and the rest of the world views the Republican Party. I know you know that a huge chunk of Romney and Santorum supporters watch Fox News. And anyone who is honest with themselves knows that the network is full of misinformation and lies, that are personally catered to a specific right-wing crowd who wants their views validated.
I fail to see how the people who value civil liberties and legitimate deficit reduction are the crazy ones while those who keep arguing for social conservatism, imperialism and a gross-expansion of government (which you've GOTTEN the past 20 years) are normal. Just because your side is in the majority doesn't mean we are the ones effed in the head. When the older generation dies I see a lot of things improving in the US, especially in traditionally red areas.
Ron Paul hasn't gotten much legislation passed, that's true, but our Congress has been creating ridiculous legislation over the past few decades so I'm willing to overlook that.

Uhh, Ron Paul isnt exactly the bastion of truth. He also is no where near for legitimate deficit reduction. You say that Fox viewers who are for Romney and Santorum are only getting their views validated but then you go off about Ron Paul who does the exact opposite of what you claim to have as your views but because he says things that arent true they validate your views. Ironing.

I don't have time to comb through Ron Paul's legislation over the years to dispute you, but even if Ron Paul has gotten nothing done and given the alternatives, I'll still take the person who is saying they will cut the deficit and reduce the size of our government(Ron Paul), over the person who ran as a Liberal and then adopted the worst aspects of the Republicans (Obama), the rest of the GOP crowd who are either crazy fundamentalists(Perry, Bachman, Santorum), a Hypocrite with no morals(Gingrich), or someone who is nearly identical to Obama (Romney).
I feel that is a good enough reason to support Ron Paul. I'm really not concerned with whether you disagree with me because you support Obama who has been a mediocre president who craps all over Civil Liberties, and a huge expansion of government and the deficit.

I dont support Obama. I dont support anyone. I would find your reasoning valid, except Ron Paul has done exactly the opposite of what he says he is for. I just find your reasoning for supporting him quite odd since his track record shows he holds almost none of the values that he says he does and that you seem to be for. I also find it odd that you seem to be bashing those who support Romney for things he has done in his past but says he is now against, but you let Ron Paul slide even though he's done things in his past that are the opposite of what you say you are voting for him for.

Ron Paul's rabid followers have done soooo much to hurt the guy. It's sad that his long, mostly upstanding career will end with these morons running around fellating each other simply by mentioning his name. He seems like a decent enough, pretty genuine guy (especially for a politician) but wow, his supporters have just ripped his name to shreds.

You don't support Obama? I haven't been on ACF much lately but I don't recall a word of criticism from you on him and you are a very active political poster. I would like some examples of how Ron Paul has done the opposite of what he says he is for, something besides earmarks, because those are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
I criticize Romney because he doesn't even hide the fact he wants to eliminate our civil liberties, he openly supports taking them away.
I'm not trying say Paul is an ideal candidate by any means (there are several things I disagree with him on), but he's a big step ahead of the other options.

Coming from an Obama supporter that is downright hilarious.
