Ron Paul Is Like Political Cyanide

Sorry Ron Paul supporters, I know you howl like a dog whistle factory in a tornado when he gets criticized, but this is exactly why Trump said he'll never win...

Ron Paul says he would not have authorized the mission that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, and that President Barack Obama should have worked with the Pakistani government instead of authorizing a raid...

Even if he's right, for the sake of argument, these are statements that make a person patently unelectable. Focus groups have found that this ranks right up there with child molestation, the difference being at least those Chesters know they shouldn't run.

For 10 years this psycho hid from us, and Pakistan could've made the search only 10 days if they wanted. Yet Ron Paul thinks we should've ripped the steering wheel out of the column, handed it to them and said "here, you drive."

I usually bite my tongue with this guy for the sake of his supporters that I'm friends with, and for the sake of his son, who I like.....so far....but this is just too much, even for the guy who thinks even the Civil War was unnecessary.

He shouldn't be president, period. He should follow in his twin brothers footsteps....

....and be the cartoon he really is.

Well then, vote NOW: a)Obama b) Ron Paul.
A few things I don’t like about Ron Paul either, but he’s infinitely better than Obama-lama-ding-dong. Don’t you agree?

[arrogantsob]

It worries me that there are enough lunatics to keep putting him back in Congress. What is the matter with those people? They must be a crazy as loons.

[arrogantsob]

His foreign policy is little different than Urkel’s.

[Marty62]

Good piece. His true believers will never accept the fact he is irrational and lacks the ability to see the unintended consequences of his policies.

Obama would tie him in knots getting him to blab his rediculous philosophy.

Between him and NEWT, they are making the GOP look ignorant.

We need a heavy weight that I don’t think has shown up yet. Here’s hoping he/she steps in soon to stop this circus.

[nopardons]

Paul’s foreign policy is actually worse than Obama’s and that’s saying a great deal....none of it good.

[Patrick1]

If that is my choice it is time to move to the Caymans.

[Leaning Right]

Ron Paul has some really good ideas. I particularly like his ideas on how to limit the power of the federal government.

But the problem is that he also has some really bad ideas. For example, it is one thing to limit our overseas commitments, but it’s another thing to abandon them, as Paul suggests.

[arrogantsob]

That appears to be the case and it is based upon a misrepresentation of Washington’s Farewell Address (actually written by Hamilton). It is not an uncommon view around here either.

[Longbow1969]

Paul’s foreign policy is actually worse than Obama’s and that’s saying a great deal....none of it good.

Yup, far worse actually.

Ron Paul needs to run for president as a libertarian in the Libertarian party. I hate 3rd party bids that might split the right of center vote, but in this case I am pretty sure he'd siphon off far more Democrats than Republicans.

As I've said before, any candidate who's base is mushhead college students, pot heads, peaceniks and truther nuts has absolutely zero chance to win the Republican nomination.

[nopardons]

Exactly so!

It is somewhat akin to the DEMs' misrepresentation of the Jeffersonian, supposed "separation of church and state" thing, which has been skewed to mean something it never did.

Ron Paul is a KOOK and his rabid supporters are worse.

[nopardons]

On this, I couldn’t agree with you more,if I tried.

[Reagan Man]

Amen, Ron!

[Reagan Man]

That pic is from 1976/1980 time frame.

By 1988 wRong Paul called Reagan, a “dramatic failure” as President.

FURP!

He may be slipping into the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s.

Friday, October 12, 2001

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, introduced H.R. 3076, “The September 11 Marque
and Reprisal Act of 2001,” which would authorize the White House to order the capture or killing of bin Laden, and not necessarily by official military personnel.

[truthfreedom]

I guess Ron Paul wanted much much bigger cuts in FedGov everywhere.

[NoLibZone]

“In 1988 Ron Paul was nominated by the Libertarian Party for president and ran against the Reagan agenda, at one point telling the Dallas Morning News, Reagan was a “dramatic failure” as President. Paul also said,:

“I want to totally disassociate myself from the Reagan Administration”, Reagan was “a failure, yes, in, in many ways”.

Transcript of Paul acknowledging that remark on Meet the Press 12-23-2007:

[truthfreedom]

I’d be interested in seeing the entire interview where he said all those things.

[PaleoBob]

Ron Paul isn’t gonna get nominated but his presence in the field is entertaining and unpredictable. Everybody oughta understand that it’ll be OK, he’s no threat—he raises some interesting issues from time to time, is certainly more than a little daffy at other times, but if I could nominate any one person in America to lead an audit of the Federal Reserve Bank it would definitely be Ron Paul.
