Is this 'too bold' of a statement to make about Ron Paul?

4. You know I liken

Ron Paul's supporters to John Edward's supporters. . .

I was an Edwards support very early in 2007. But I can admit - I wasn't the best judge of his character. A man with great ideas about the plight of the poor and poverty in America - but one who could have been compromised.

Thus - I don't understand this foaming at the mouth 'protection' from his supporters in regards to his racist rhetoric over the years.

Look at Robert Byrd - who overcame his past via his record in Congress beginning in 1968. I cried when he died. I cried the same for him as I did for Ted Kennedy. But I cried for Byrd because when push came to shove - he got on board with the concept that all Americans are 'entitled' to due process and equal protection before the law - even if it WAS only to maintain his presence on the National Political Stage (as some of his detractors have argued). Having met him once - there was a warmth there and it's just my humble opinion that he did have a true conversion of the heart.

Ron Paul? He talks a good game about 'liberty' - but truthfully? It's only liberty for some.
