David Duke praised them as well. Perhaps Paul should select Duke as his running mate.

Another reason not to vote for him.

Ron Paul Praises Occupy Wall Street

How retro!
What will he praise next? Disco?

This guy is not inspiring any kind of confidence in me. I wouldn’t hire him as a bartender. In fact, he sounds like a scary kind of customer I used to have to put up with when I was working as a bartender.

The kind who are smooth talkers most of the time, but once they snork a couple of shooters, their mouths go completely “Napoleon” on them.

Crazy stuff can be amusing, but it can also be dangerous — depending on who’s listening.

No question he’ll run independent. He’s already bashing the 2-party system. And if he does bolt, we won’t beat Obama. The libertarians in the GOP will bolt with him. They won’t support Romney. No way.

And he’s laying a foundation to eventually try and steal the youth from both parties. He knows full well most of his base are voters under age 40 who are angry.

You can blame the GOP establishment who has been playing a VERY dangerous game in order to force a Romney nomination on a party that doesnt want him.

I disagree. This scenario played out once before with the same hand wringing and doom and gloom. It failed to split the GOP.

Paul will siphon off leftist who are tired of Obummer. I have seen no genuine GOP base support for this Anarchist Libertarian to date. Just Occupy type dopey college kids.

It reads as if he is praising the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street.

And Crazy Paul knows it. Axelrod and Obama are planning on it, too.

OWS and the Tea Party are against completely opposite aspects of government. OWS because it’s too small and Tea Party because it’s too big.

It used to be that you needed an entire left-wing movement to characterize it as a cuckoo clock from Hell. Now you just need one person: Ron Paul claiming to be all things to all people. He’s desperate and making a bigger corkhead out of himself than usual.

Ron Paul (pot) takes wishy washy to a new level: embrace two polar opposites and call them one. That's what happens with you live in the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm.

The RATs want this guy in a bad way. They will throw money at him to make
the GOP look like a hospital full of loonies and say he is the face of true Conservatism.

Bet you Rand Paul, his son, has to shake his head every night and say “Why, Why, Why”.

Tea party members do have the same goal as OWS members. Tea party members want to keep the money they earn and OWS members also want the money Tea party members earn.
