[Dripping Rain]

edit: just to clarify Christie wasnt saying this in a flattering context. He said if Dennis Kucinich is the extreme left wing of the Democrat party then Ron Paul is the extreme Right wing of the GOP

sour grapes. what a jackass

 

[wormyguy]

Well, he is, isn't he? He's certainly no moderate.

 

[Dripping Rain]

Well, he is, isn't he? He's certainly no moderate.

its not a good thing to say on national tv and to Bloombergs audience. sounds more like a smear to me
I know Ron is the most Conservative but I homestly dont know about extreme Right winf

 

[Fozz]

And three years ago, they were saying he isn't a real conservative

 

[Sola_Fide]

Oh, Ron's "too extreme" now huh?


Screw you Chris!

Libertarians really aren't "on the right." They're on the top of the political spectrum. This diagram at the bottom illustrates that.

Christie is NorthEastern RINO trash.

Dont let his tough talk fool ya.....His budget cuts are miniscule.

/thread.

Edit: Fox News continually asked him why he was a Republican. Now we can assume establishment Republicans will be attacking him for being far right. Don't think Christy isn't getting coached by the GOP.


Such a nice post Foz.

Yeah, and he's also pro gun control.

 

[Jandrsn21]

Also pro cap and trade!

We are TOP Dead Center... Christie and Company are the Extremists, it's when you deviate from the center, than you deviate from the US Constitution.

Oh and while we're at it... a moderate is NOT a politician in the middle. A Moderate is the WORST part of both extremist parties, because they hold the philosophy, "You vote for my bad bill and spending, and I'll vote for yours.


Neutral ground is what the forefathers set up.. both parties have deviated to the EXTREME Left/Right.

PS: Ah, what do you expect for Christie... Rudy GHOULiana is his bitch.

"far-right" might not be that bad of a label considering how folks are voting

 

[legion]

Christie is lining up for a run at the presidency. Of course he's going to say stuff like this.

Ding, Ding, Ding! This is an improvement as far as I am concerned.

Remember this:

Republican Debate Transcript, South Carolina
May 15, 2007

MR. GOLER: Congressman Paul, I believe you are the only man on the stage who opposes the war in Iraq, who would bring the troops home as quickly as -- almost immediately, sir. Are you out of step with your party? Is your party out of step with the rest of the world? If either of those is the case, why are you seeking its nomination?

REP. PAUL: Well, I think the party has lost its way, because the conservative wing of the Republican Party always advocated a noninterventionist foreign policy.

Senator Robert Taft didn't even want to be in NATO. George Bush won the election in the year 2000 campaigning on a humble foreign policy -- no nation-building, no policing of the world. Republicans were elected to end the Korean War. The Republicans were elected to end the Vietnam War. There's a strong tradition of being anti-war in the Republican party. It is the constitutional position. It is the advice of the Founders to follow a non-interventionist foreign policy, stay out of entangling alliances, be friends with countries, negotiate and talk with them and trade with them.

Just think of the tremendous improvement -- relationships with Vietnam. We lost 60,000 men. We came home in defeat. Now we go over there and invest in Vietnam. So there's a lot of merit to the advice of the Founders and following the Constitution.

And my argument is that we shouldn't go to war so carelessly. (Bell rings.) When we do, the wars don't end.

Just a few years ago they were implying he shouldn't be a Republican.

Just a few years ago they were implying he shouldn't be a Republican.

Ron Paul does his best work when he is stuffing pepper up the ass of the establishment.

The man is so solid and untainted, they don't know what to make of him, they don't know how to pigeonhole him they don't know how to smear him, because the Establishment has no clue about how government is supposed to be.

Ron is not the RIGHT. Ron's on TOP

On The Issues has Ron Paul as strongly for foreign aid, and strongly opposed to lowering taxes, free trade and immigration. He should be much higher up in the libertarian column than is represented there.

 

[james1906]

So now it's a strong conservative position for us to take our marching orders from al-Qaida?

 

[tnvoter]

This is why he'll STAY in New Jersey.

But at least he's proving that some fiscal conservatism is good.

I'm SO GLAD someone else is posting this for once!!!!!!

I get so SICK of trying to explain the false left/right paradigm to people! People on here should understand the false left/right paradigm, afterall, Ron Paul tries to explain it all the time!

"The left says you can have civil liberties, but not economic liberties, and the right says you can have economic liberties, but not civil liberties. We split liberty in half in two parts, and you can't do that."

My paraphrasing of a statement Ron Paul says ALL THE TIME about the "left" and the "right."

What he means is that each says one half of government intervention is ok, and the other says the other half of government intervention is ok, so that when they're combined the government can intervene EVERYWHERE. And that if you really support liberty, then you support ALL liberty, not just in only economic or civil matters.

"Moderates" are usually even more authoritarian than those on the "left" or "right" because they usually support both civil and economic planning and intervention by the government.

Lieberman is the PERFECT and ICONIC MODERATE.

He is moderate because he agrees with the "right" about a lot of things the government should do, and he agrees with the "left" about a lot of things the government should do, resulting in him supporting the government having authority in nearly everything, if not literally everything.

(Is there really anything Lieberman is on record for trying to stop the government from doing? If there is, I honestly don't know about it because I just constantly see him supporting government control in everything I can think of).
