I posted that because I thought that someone might know something about it and clarify what it meant or how it would pan out. Generally on this discussion some very literate and knowledgeable people hang out and clarify things.
I appreciate your good intentions, and I don't mean to disparage them. I do wish to explain that I've generally found that it doesn't pay to get deeper into publicly discussing conspiracy theories, as it only tends to give them more attention and credence than they deserve and I'm usually not interested in the theory anyway, including in this case. As a moderator in this forum, albeit for the moribund carnivore section, my interest is in promoting the habit of asking questions and in trying to help this forum stay above the level of the usual Internet muck. I think we're capable of better.
If you're interested in investigating the "truthiness"
of the claim, one avenue is to check out the credibility of the source. Conspiracy theories like that one are typically spread by sources with low credibility that can generally be safely ignored to save precious time, though every now and then even eccentric people can be right, or at least, entertaining. If it seems like the source could potentially be right, then you look for evidence, confirmation, logic, reason, etc. supporting it and especially check out the opinions of those who disagree. If those who disagree lean more on opinions, wild speculation and personal attacks than the ones promoting the theory, then that could suggest that there's something to it. Look for the sources who stick mainly to facts, who ask questions, who challenge their own assumptions and who present solid evidence. Beware of sources that rely solely or mainly on opinions, wild speculations, innuendo or rumor.
Politicians including RP live and die on their past life regardless of whether it is fair or not.
Plenty of people have defended RP when he has been unfairly attacked and as I already mentioned, the single biggest factor that sets Ron apart from all the other candidates of both parties is integrity (which is also wrapped into commitment and consistency). I'm not going to completely abandon one of the values Ron Paul promotes just because other politicians have little use for it. Don't worry, I don't have the slightest naive notion that we will ever be rid of hypocrisy, I'm just not going to embrace it.
Good luck and remember to vote for Ron Paul.
It does look like the Theocons may finally be settling on a candidate (Santorum), though perhaps too soon to tell for sure.
