Please tell us how Paul disses the Constitution. I’m unaware of him doing so.

?
I'm also unaware of him doing so. You must have misread my comments.

That's my whole point - he's not dissing the Constitution, he's the only one who shows a deep respect to it.

When one repeatedly appears on “truther” radio shows, and enthusiastically espouses “truther” beliefs: said individual is, in fact, a “truther.”

Walks like a duck, Sounds like a duck -— a demented, whacked out ‘truther’ duck.

Your analysis is shallow - ‘our government can do no right’ so it better do nothing. Well, we were doing nothing before World War I and II and got some very unfortunate results from that. But go ahead and embrace Islam, that will certainly end it.

And how would you know how any of us support the Constitution? Pauls a loser and this election will prove it. No Libertarian will be President in your life time. (or ever)

You mean “facts” like WE the USA caused Islam to ram planes into our buildings? Those facts that are in Ron Pauls pea brain? The man is crazy and he is out to prove it on National TV.

“In my opinion Ron Paul cares more about the U.S. Constitution than anybody here. “

Hey, A@@wipe, I’ve served in the US military protecting that Constitution and your rights for the past 26 years. I don’t need you or any other psychopathic Paul supporter telling me that my concern for the Constitution is less than some idiot who blames the US for the 9/11 attacks.

Go sell your B.S. to Rosie O’Donnell!

“Those who say he said we deserved 9/11 are liars or stupid.”

He strongly implied that we brought it on ourselves, and he cited Bin Ladin’s Fatwa as his support for that assertion...as if we should look to Bin Ladin’s words as the truthful and intellectually honest resource with which to assess the sitution, rather than taking Bin Ladin's statement for the propaganda it is.

Were this WWII, Ron Paul would be telling us to listen to Tokyo Rose so we could understand why the Japanese hate us, and how we created the situation that caused the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor.

How is Ron Paul doing in the national polls. He doesn’t look or speak very well, even though what he says makes a lot of sense. Frankly, he is not electable, imo.

No, he did not imply that. He gave a reason, not a justification. There’s a difference, and I have no idea why otherwise-conservatives are so ready to condemn him on a false basis.

Isn’t Bin Laden’s word pretty good to take, for why Bin Laden did something to us? In the legal world, I would think that’s called “motive.”

No, popdonnelly asserted that he doesn’t think Paul is a fan of the Constitution. I was inviting him to expand on that, and pinging you in case he should answer.

You’ve got to be kidding me. You really think that Bin Ladin is above writing and publishing anything dishonest in order to effect public thinking to bring people to his cause? You’re willing to take Bin Ladin’s word...? God help us.

In the world where real people fight and die to achieve an objective, Bin Ladin’s fatwa is called propaganda.

If Ron Paul is such an idiot as to take a terrorist’s word as the gospel truth, he’s eliminted himself from any serious consideration I might have given him, even if he hadn’t tripped over his “Johnson” last night.

Ron Paul Is The Dennis Kucinich Of The Republican Presidential Race

So, Presidential candidate Ron Paul, is doing the Alex Jones show...and let me stop there for just a moment. Alex Jones is a full on, warped, tinfoil on his head, conspiracy nut. Just look at the side bar on his page (over to the left on the post). Why would any reputable politician get together with a nut like Alex Jones in the first place? Obvious answer, they wouldn't.

Which brings us back to Ron Paul who wants to see us get into the cover-up of 9/11:

CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I'm tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?

HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don't have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there's not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn't going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.

JACK BLOOD, GUEST HOST: I think it's fair to say that of all the candidates out there, the one most interested in reopening the investigation and clearing the questions is Dr. Paul; and you should be commended for that.

Ehr...does that sound like a tacit endorsement of a 9/11 conspiracy theory by Paul? Indeed, it did. He's also talking about things will be, "better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight."

Ugh, Ron Paul is an embarrassment not just to his constituents and the Republican Party, but to Congress.

PS: How many times do we have to reinvestigate 9/11 until these nutjobs will be satisfied or is this like the Democrats with the Florida vote count in 2000 -- they just want to keep looking at it over and over and over again until they get the result they want?

PS #2: Naturally, Ron Paul is a believer in the North American Union Conspiracy, too. Maybe he thinks Bush planned 9/11 as part of a plan to merge the US into Mexico and Canada, who knows?

Pat Buchanon recommended and for some reason I read, although I’m not Buchanon fan at all, a book called ‘the illusion of victory’, and it purports that we are all worse off for going into world war I and that we had no business going over there. I wasn’t a die hard convert after reading it, although I respected the mans opinion, but recently I’ve been reconsidering, it actually makes a lot of sense. You say ‘how can we do nothing’? Well, what if doing nothing yields the best result?

The point is these are not ‘wacked out’ theories, but carefullly constructed opinions held by many prominent persons.

Paul is too secula-minded to understand the nature of a foe motivated by religious fanaticism.

Were we “worse off” for having gone into World War I? Well, the voters in 1920 thought so, which is why they elected Warren Harding president and tried to isolate themselves from the trainwreck that was the “Great War.” They throught they could do this because the Unbited States was simply the box car of a very long train. Today everyone thinks of Wilson as an idealistic fool, but he understood that the War had broken western civilization and that radical measures had to be taken to keep it from collapsing. Would the League have worked with the United States as part of it? Who knows? We do now that the Proud Tower of the West had been cracked and that eventually it did collapse with only the United States left standing.
