Maha Rushie is the greatest; however, I can’t get on anymore — try as I might.

I ask this all the time.

Bachman nailed it last night - the most dangerous and uninformed foreign policy ever conceived since Neville Chamberlain.

I don’t get it either. He is certifiable.

Just when one begins to take him seriously he pulls out his ‘Prison Planet’ lifetime membership card and Illuminati decoder ring and grins like he’s listening to angels.

The only ones who do are paulbots. They can not think for themselves. They can only follow their master.

Sane people have known for a long time that Ron Paul is loopy and shouldn’t be taken seriously. What bugs me is that the guy has so much support. According to polls, Ron Paul is in the ‘top tier’ of the GOP presidential nomination candidates. That’s ridiculous! I suspect that when actual votes are cast, Ron Paul won’t do so well. His statements on the Fox News debate (good moderators) should end the fantasy that this man is a serious person, except, perhaps, in his own mind. Frankly, Ron Paul is just taking votes away from genuine candidates that, whether you support them or not, are at least rational about the very real threat to Israel, the U.S. and the world from a nuclear Iran.

Because at least one third of Americans are idiots and have brain nerve damage that cannot be repaired.

LOL On ‘The Five’ today, Gutsfeld (sp) remarked when talking about Paul in the debate last night, ‘Paul was his usual self. Never fails to say something that makes sense followed by something stupid. It’s like ordering steak topped by necco wafers.

When Paul started to response to Bachmann I thought he was going CAPTAIN QUIGG for a minute. I was expecting him to reach into his pocket any second for the steel balls.

As I told my wife Ron Paul probably because of his own experience or personal philosophy pushes for a world as he does as to what should be among nations. He surely lacks an understanding of how the world outside of his small world that seems to not affect him in Texas actually operates. I sometimes believe that Paul’s resolution of Pearl Harbor would have been to tell the Japs not to do it again before discussing their beefs. Young folks who live in their own one sided and time limited world really don’t see a need to be forceful against danger or aggression and fit Paul’s idea of the world. Of course their own actions are not such as shown by ‘Occupants’.

In answer to your question: Rush Limbaugh takes Ron Paul seriously because Paul’s foreign policy—a foreign policy which is not in the interests of the globocrats who have abused our country’s resources and sovereignty, turned us into a bankster bailing-out paradise, and used our military as a big stick for multinationals and the U.N.—is the foreign policy most Americans support. Most Americans don’t want us in foreign wars unless our soil or our citizens are attacked. We don’t want to pay for the defense of other countries when those countries have their own means to do so (e.g., Korea and Germany) or aren’t our supporters in the first place (e.g., Kuwait and Saudi Arabia). Most Americans want our borders secured now. And all that scares the living crap out of the globocrats who set up this foreign policy of military mission bloat, shrinking national sovereignty, and transferring of power by treaty agreements to international bodies, all moves unapproved by popular accord but by sneaky back-door lobbying and legislation. The power players have spent many years and untold trillions to establish their view that our country’s thousands of troop postings abroad are all that keeps America safe. Rusty Limbaugh is a guy that these folks can call in the chips with whenever they really, really need a mouthpiece.

This is just Rush showing his yellow stripes again. I saw the same noise from others on Fox this morning. Ol’ crazy RP, look, he’s crazy, etc., etc. I suspect Rush and the amen corner of the national press will be making up more tinfoil hat crap right up until the election so as to drive away potential RP votes. God forbid we get a proven constitutionalist into office, and ruin the interests of Limbaugh’s clients with a foreign policy that stops our American military from being used as a police department for multinationals. That, of course, is why members of the military actually support Ron Paul via donations nearly ten-to-one over his closest primary competitors).

And it’s not as if there was ever any doubt Limbaugh would come out swinging against Ron Paul if Paul struck fear into the heart of the globocrats. Rush carried water for Bush the Elder back in the day that a far better option, Pat Buchanan, was running against that globoweenie, and he pushed for Romney against McCain—ROMNEY, the proven leftie who’s better than McCain because...well, because Rush said he was.

Rush is gutless anyway, because he COULD endorse a real conservative candidate when it might make a difference (Bachman, now, for example) but doesn’t. Instead he just dances around with the not-Romney crowd and now the not-Ron-Paul crowd and refuses to pick a date. What a complete wuss.

Ron Paul has a shot ONLY because.

you want to have ANY hope of repealing ObamaCare....shuttering Education, Energy and EPA...your ONLY shot is Ron Paul. That’s it.

Gingrich is doin’ none of that. Perry is doin’ none of that ‘cause he’s goin’ nowhere. And Romney will expand them all and try to tell us otherwise...

AND NO_I’m NOT a PaulBot..at all...just callin’ it like I see it...
