“wants to be president anyway and doesn’t care what he says to get there.”
Name just ONE thing that Paul is saying different now than before he started running for President.
I already know you’ll never reply to this post.
“...Name just ONE thing that Paul is saying different now than before he started running for President....”
Ron Paul has been running for president since 1988. I don’t know what he said before then and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t either. Ron Paul himself doesn’t really bother me or matter to me. Why should he? He has zero impact on anything that happens or will happen. He doesn’t even seem to have cognizance of most of it.
What is of greater concern to me are the people who follow him. They take almost no stock of political realities. Instead of advocating possible improvements such as tax cuts or better overseas intelligence capabilities or stiffer sentences for drug dealers, things we can really GET, they swing their hands wildly and let their broad brushes smear a serious effort with inane, unrealistic nonsense like “abolishing the IRS” or “Iran doesn’t have an army” or “let’s just legalize heroin.”
You wanted my answer so here’s a news flash: the IRS is not going away; Iran DOES have an army and even if it is less capable than ours it does have trucks and drivers and can drive a nuclear device to Lebanon and hand it off to Hezbollah, who can then move it closer to the target; and, nobody except a handful of people who have read one book by Ayn Rand and sent a check to Ron Paul shortly thereafter (because they now have it ALL figured out) is likely to favor legalizing heroin, ever.
Now, some people either don’t realize this and are dumb, or they do and yet keep pretending they don’t, in which case they are unscrupulous. If you’re arguing that Paul is merely dumb as a box of rocks and still thinks the IRS can be abolished if only he is elected president, well, you’re welcome to that argument.
