    He did in the meeting on TV the other night. He said we have lost all of our freedoms. Three sentences later he said we live in the most free country in the world. Not flip flopping, per se, more like senility setting in. He has lied so much about so much he cannot even remember what he said.

    Yes, for you Paulies, I know him, he lied to me and my brother and my niece. To our faces, on the phone and in a letter. Deny it all you want, you never met the man, I have had the misfortune to know him.

    I still dont get this "flip flop" thing. It seems that if someone changes his/her mind, even after obtaining more information, they are a flip flopper.

    I change my mind about things after I hear new information...that makes me flexible, smart, I think. Why is that negative?? Like, I used to think (and we were told) red meat was so good for you...iron, protein. Now we know it is not so good, especially in large amounts. Should I continue to wolf down those burgers so I wont be a dreaded flip flopper???

    The video has to be at least 20 years old. The Soviet Union and SDI? Come on. Seems to me that if someone doesn't change his/her mind in light of new, relevant information, then that person is small-minded and likely an idealogue. Look at GWB and you will see what that gets us.

    Ron Paul flipped flopped when he denies being a racist. The guy is a very famous racist over there at stormfront. He is used to write very offensive articles most notably against jews. Go stormfront and to the freepers they can assist in your search. The Anti-Defamation League plans to ask Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul to distance himself from extremist groups.

    Paul, a U.S. congressman from Texas, has come under fire for the support his campaign has enjoyed from leading white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

    His campaign reportedly has accepted a donation from Don Black, the owner of the white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Sites for several extremist groups also feature prominent links supporting Paul's candidacy.

    ADL's assistant director of civil rights, Steven Freeman, told JTA his organization planned to communicate with Paul privately and urge him to distance himself from those groups.

    "If he doesn't do that, then we will decide what we're going to say publicly about it," Freeman said.

    The ADL previously has taken candidates to task for their ties to supremacist groups. Last year the organization slammed Larry Darby, a Democratic candidate for attorney general in Alabama, after he attended a meeting of the National Vanguard, a splinter group of the National Alliance. Darby was defeated.

    on racial issues, his own past writings have come back to bite him on his sorry old butt, and deservedly so! and he has flip-flopped on earmarks...loading up on the pork, then voting against his own earmarks-since he knew the bills would pass-that's a 'typical hack politician' move and he knows it-trying to have it both ways-hypocritical at best, sleazy and dishonest at worst

    Ron Paul may have forgotten what he said but He never would flip flop like Hillary. Often He seems to speak without thinking what statement he is making. Perhaps it is Alzheimer's kicking in.

    Maybe not ....but that doesn't make him right. Educated people change their opinions on matters frequently as new information and facts become available.

    I haven't seem him talk about them.

    No doubt, the reports are rascist

    It would not matter or not if he flip flopped or not. He is still a nut job.
