Paul: Trump 'desperate' for attention
Politico ^ | April 25, 2011 | staff

Posted on 04/25/2011 12:14:47 PM PDT by Baladas

Ron Paul said Monday that Donald Trump's pursuit of President Barack Obama's birth certificate shows how "desperate" he is for an audience.

Appearing on ABC's "The View," Paul jabbed Trump for having supposedly sent investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama's birth.

"I understand he has sent out some detectives to find out," Paul said on the show. "I haven't invested in any of that, so I guess I'll have to see what he does."

I'm not one to stick up for Ron Paul, but this is kind of funny. Ron Paul has won elections and Trump has never won an election, yet Trump claims Paul cannot get elected? LOL!!

Well, that's not saying much...Dennis Kucinich has won elections...Maxine Waters has won elections...even Nancy Pelosi...none of them could get elected nationwide.

When you've resorted to trotting out Ron Paul to try and call Donald Trump crazy, you've reached the bottom of the barrel.

If anyone should be in strait-jacket, it is the erratic Hillary loving, pro-eminent domain, pro-higher taxes Trump.

Get your facts straight. Paul has gone on record, many many times against 9-11 “inside job” theories.

>>>Isn’t this sort of a pot and kettle thing?

And then some. Kind of ironic.

“Trump Desperate For Attention”, but Ron Paul is not? Seems to me Paul is desperate for a little of the Trump spotlight. And this is not the way to get it. Let’s focus on the opposition shall we, rather than dissing the man who is saying what is on all of our minds.

I thought that is what a person has to do. Get attention and persuade people that don’t think about backing you to back you.

You do that by making the rounds. Otherwise you end up with the same avid supporters but not enough to put you over the top.

Did he pay his Paulites to come vote in the View straw poll and did he win it?

Pray for America

Desperate for attention is constantly entering presidential straw polls and presidential primaries when you have no hope of winning the nomination.

Too bad nobody with brains watches The View. Maybe Ron Paul would have gotten some badly wanted attention.

Beam yourself up Kirk. Ron Paul has the edge on just about everyone in who should wear straight jackets.

a battle of the Paulillians vs. the Trumpites. The Kuchinistas ... will take on the winner.


I'll bet I'll get them to love me on the View.

Someone finally says what’s true and what has always been obvious about the attention-grabbing, uber-ego driven Trump.
