Catholics are not allowed to assume to know the intent of other people’s hearts. It’s also against the rules of these forums. I am a Ron Paul supporter and can tell you the statement that generalizes his followers is patently false, and I have to question your reason for posting it?
So two wrongs make a right? Where does Christianity teach that?
So Catholics are not allowed now to make objective statements based on actual experiences?
Who’s making the wrong? Sorry when I hear many Ron Paul supporters call for the destruction of Israel and throw out anti-semetic slurs and pejoratives…I call them out on it.
It amazes me when discussing men who have given to this country and the comments some make against them. It’s like ‘Romney lost and we can’t speak positive about anyone else until a decent mourning period has passed.’ I’m just as shocked to see the reaction toward Jindal, who seems to be trying to resolve the problem. Some of the comments being made only validate the current public perception of Republicans. I’d take a chill pill and let it rest, if I wanted to see Republicans have a chance in the future. But that’s just me.

You can be right and ineffective when the numbers of wrong are against you.I don’t know what this has to do with you accusing me of being less of a Catholic, because I made an observation based on my experiences.
Regardless I spoke positively about Romney after the election, he did the best he could. He made a lot of mistakes, but it is what it is. I’m on the fence with Jindal, because I’m hearing more “rah rah” for moderate Republicans and Jeb Bush running in 2016 and I know it will end the same way 1992, 1996, 2008 and 2012 did. A big GOP loss.
As for Ron Paul I don’t agree with you on him “giving” to this country. In my opinion Ron Paul has been one of the most ineffective Congressman in modern history. But that’s just my opinion.
Haha yes, because it’s not like Republicans haven’t been nominating liberal to moderate Republicans for the past 20 yearsYou can be right and ineffective when the numbers of wrong are against you.
Yea, let’s stay to the far right and see how that works out in future elections.
Republicans are going to have to become more moderate on the ‘other issues’ if they want to be trusted by the majority. After all, aren’t we to look beyond the other issues for the important issues?
Read some of what Jindal has to say about Republicans image.Haha yes, because it’s not like Republicans haven’t been nominating liberal to moderate Republicans for the past 20 years
Also what do you mean become more moderate on “other issues” exactly what issues are you pertaining to?
Once again what does this have to do with you accusing me of being less of a Catholic?
Then the argument of not looking at other issues as proportionate are only for the other side? If it means Republicans have to give on the other issues for the sake of the important issues, it’s moral cowardice and they cannot be set aside?
Ron Paul’s most important issues would be or could be auditing the fed.
I realize Ron Paul’s history in the medical profession. I participated in 3 live births this past year and find it hard to imagine anyone cannot see that life begins at conception; when two living cells merge.
LOL!
I have not noticed any bad treatment of Rand Paul by conservatives (what you refer to as the “far right”). This may be because Rand Paul has different views than Ron Paul who was a bit, shall we say, quirky. Also, Rand Paul has been in the Republican party - Ron Paul quit the party, then joined, then quit again, then joined. Hard to keep up. I will not miss him.
I agree - we don’t need another Bush, even a Jeb Bush. I think a Rubio/Jindall or a Rubio/Martinez, or even a Rubio/Haley ticket might be good. Rubio is unapologetic about his conservative principles - esp. pro-life principles. Now, the media would try to force him to say things that they can twist into “war on women” narrative. But Rubio is pretty smart. If the GOP lets liberals moderate the next debates then they don’t deserve to win. I’ll say it again: If the Republicans let liberal Democrats moderate all the debates, then they don’t deserve to win.I don’t know what this has to do with you accusing me of being less of a Catholic, because I made an observation based on my experiences.

Here is how I see it: The GOP needs to come up with a serious immigration plan that includes sealing the borders first, then granting all of the illegal immigrants a path to citizenship if they want. Also, they need to do a better job screening the Senate candidates during the primaries: do not nominate guys who don’t know what to say and what not to say during a speech or debate. They need to be more disciplined and not fall into the “gotcha” trap set by the liberal media.You can be right and ineffective when the numbers of wrong are against you.

Yeah, right!
When you have to resort to uncharitable, ad hominem slogans like “Paul Qaeda” and then have to attribute a straw-man argument to Paul’s supporters in the form of “You are just a NWO neocon scum, I hope the NWO takes over…I’d love to put fascists like you in concerntration camps you scum!” then you know you have lost the argument. And if anyone else engaged in those kind of uncharitable attacks, they would have been banned long ago.
