Ron Paul Refuses to Debate
For all intents and purposes Rep. Ron Paul has given up his quixotic Presidential race and is focusing on winning re-election to the Congress. When he was a full-time seeker of the Presidency he complained Fox News was “scared” of him and so excluded him from a debate. Paul’s supporters claimed neocon conspiracies against the only “true conservative” in the GOP race.
Now that Paul has a primary challenge from Chris Peden a one-on-one debate isn’t important:
Sad.
I’m not sad for Paul. We know he has serious flaws. I’m sad for most of his passionate supporters who put so much time, effort, and money (the Ron Paul blimp has a debt) into a campaign they thought would change America.
All but the least rational Paul supporters have come to the conclusion that “Dr. No” isn’t that different from you, me, or most politicians. When it comes right down to it he wants to get re-elected.
I know why Paul won’t debate Peden. It’s because he’s the front-runner. Paul has nothing to gain for putting himself on the same stage as a long-shot competitor. But speaking that truth would undermine the objections Paul and his supporters had for excluding him from a Presidential debate.
“Why Won’t Ron Paul Debate His Congressional Primary Opponent?”
UPDATE: I’m so disappointed in the Paul supporters. It’s like they even understand Paul’s reasoning is indefensible. That’s a good thing. They’re on the way to some sort of enlightenment.
I’m always amazed when the MSM presents half truths and 100% lies. But when a no name blogg models the same dishonest intetions then perhaps an agenda is at hand.
Paul has not dropped out of either races… A quick search could have saved what little character you have.
Also, notice this person is a Fred Thompson supporter he offers serious flaws which have been debunked with each congressional run.
Why, not support the law of the land and help turn our ecnomic issues around… Ron Paul is the only dog in the race who will cut the budget and help save our economy everyone else will spend, spend, spend just like a donkey.
By the way how many times did Ron Paul place higer then Fred Thompson?
Peden? Is another liar so why debate a man who bears false witnsess? Few even know who he is. At a rally a few weeks ago Paul had close to a 1000 and Peden? Just under 50? What’s wrong with that picuture?
