"Ron Paul sees the world in rose-colored glasses." do you agree?

Dr. Paul is a knight in shining armor, defending Liberty from those that would defile Her. He is quite possibly the bravest man in America, and a fine human being. ( "The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that an optimist believes this is the best of all possible worlds, and a pessimist is afraid they are right". Can't remember who said that.)

It's time to bar barr and put root in the root cellar! Come on guys stop with this crap already.

I thought I heard on the Alex Jones / Bardwin interview that the Constitution party almost nominated this Root guy too. Why would these 2 supposedly libertarian/ contitution first parties want him to represent them. It makes me really leery of either party. Of course all parties have been pretty much infiltrated.

Why is he still there?

...then: I do not see Dr. Paul as seeing the glass half empty or half full. I see Dr. Paul as seeing the glass as 50% water and 50% air. He is a master strategician, and is not necessarily interested in the short game, if that is all it is. If there is a precedent to be set, then the long game is worth it for him. He is calculated, savvy, and his timing is near perfect. That he comes off naive or quixotic is a misinterpretation of his honesty and persistence. Think of the many interviews where he has slam-dunked the anchors, belying their best efforts to stump him with gossipy trash, polls, and rhetoric. He owns them.

This admirable, yet confusing to some, focus on the distant target is what drew me to Dr. Paul once I discovered his long fight against tyranny.

People like Paul come once or twice in a lifetime in my opinion. No, I am not readying myself for a kool-aide Revolution function...but seriously...someone who has dedicated much of his life to a great cause, undisturbed by the sewage floating around him, it is an inspiring opportunity to realize that the human spirit is alive and well. Except, in this sense, as compared to a stellar artist or gifted athlete, it is a Statesman-politician. A rarety, making him that much more ethereal, unbelievable...a phenomenon.

He has TOTALLY swallowed the Neocon Islamo-fascist hate pill.

Is he really Barr's vp?

God I hate Root.... he's a dick and he's annoying/egotistical....

I'm guessing you're asking if people agree with you that Ron Paul's beliefs are more optimistic than they should be and that Root is more blind to the misconception that terrorists are only opposed to american prosperity-so he smears Ron Paul.

Ron Paul's view is the best it can be for a man who doesn't see any other leaders who are speaking out against the great evil of the Federal Reserve and the government backed industrial complexes (medical, media, military). I think he plays his suspicions low key and reinforces the common mistrust of our corrupt government, and if you want the majority of people to follow you and the media to cover you then this is the course he should be taking.

Barr and Root aren't getting my vote, Baldwin and Nader and McKinney aren't either. If there's a concerted effort to push all the third party candidates into the 10-20% range then maybe I'll consider joining the operation to gridlock the elections, but otherwise its PAUL ALL THE WAY.

A person can support military intervention and not be a neoconservative. That's not what defines neoconservativism. It depends on the goal of that intervention. If it's to nation build and force democracy into other countries, yes. But if it's perceived necessity for self-defense, no. For instance, Dr. Paul supported military intervention in Afghanistan, but that doesn't make him a neoconservative, because he didn't want them to go into nation building.
