I saw a video where Ron Paul was discussing 9-11 with ‘Scholars for 9-11 truth’. Are these the educated young people to which you make reference? The representative for ‘Scholars 4 troof’ was discussing the possibility of an investigation into 9-11 with Paul.
Paul equivocated and wouldn’t come out and say he believed 9-11 was pulled off by our government. Yet, finally, Paul managed to out-loon the loons and took nuttiness to a ho nuvver level. Paul stated that most investigations into conspiracies were cover ups anyway, but assured the young man he would look into it. Paul also told the young man that he would get with Kucinich and see if they could work together and get an investigation rolling. Paul seemed to think telling this troofer he had worked with Kucinich before would give him more credibility with this youth.
Surely, this is enough, for you to question this mans candidacy, if not his sanity? What more do you need to know?
Also: 1) Why does Paul never correct those who introduce him as a Vietnam veteran?
2) Paul is as sincere about his history of securing our borders as most of the rest of the candidates. Why does he continue to pretend he has credibility on immigration when his past tells a different story?
I think you get the picture. I could go on but there are FRed THreads that need me.
As for the “truth” thing, I think I know the video you’re talking about. Poor Ron was cornered. He has said repeatedly that there was no 9-11 coverup, the only investigation we need to do is in regards to the bureaucratic nightmare that had an FBI agent reporting 30-something times to her superiors that Arabs were training to fly planes but not take off or land, and still nothing happened.
Ron Paul served as a flight surgeon for 6 years during the Vietnam war. I have never heard him introduced as a “Vietnam veteran” however he has called himself a 6 year veteran of the Air Force.
The only candidate who might be stronger on border immigration is Duncan Hunter. Even as a Libertarian in 1988, he bucked the party and was for closed borders. He has never flip-flopped on this issue.
