Ron Paul and his acolytes call anyone who doesn't completely agree with their (some quite bizarre) policies "neocons." They sling that label around with impunity.
"My message is somewhat different," he said. ( Ya think??)"The message gets somewhat diluted" with large movements of this nature.
"Everybody likes to join what looks like a popular movement, then they want to come in and influence that movement," Paul continued.
Looks like he's erroneously (and arrogantly) taking credit for the Tea Party movement again. Rick Santelli started that movement with his calls for protests of the bailouts. It is not, and never has been about Ron Paul. The Paulestinians are the ones trying to hijack the Tea Party movement.
FWIW, I applauded what Ron Paul had to say during the debates that preceded the bailout vote in October of '08. I agree with some of what he says, primarily on the economic front, but so much of his stuff is just too moonbatty to be taken seriously.
Agreed. I was faintly aware of some meetings before last February, but sure didn’t think the Tea Party was a Paul meeting. Just a meeting on common ground.
