I donate 50-100 dollars every pay period. He is the first candidate I have ever given money to.
It is funny how all the so called conservatives criticize him and call him names. The Republican party has been hijacked by the left. The party is finished and I don’t really give a rip.
He’s probably one of those who think the 13th Amendment is unconstitutional because it never was fully ratified in 1865 by all the States (because of those who that succeeded) and later because when the final State that existed in 1865, finally ratified it in 1976 (KY), that didn’t represent the 2/3rds at the time of the final ratification vote.. (I haven’t heard this from Paul, but I’ve heard this from some of his followers..)
Still assigning guilt by inuendo eh?
How's your guy doing these days rudybot?
Why don't you just make things right here and post the following:
And that's what your hatred is really about.
Michele Malkin suggested that Ron Paul was a 9/11 Truther on FoxNews...then later issued a weak apology...on her blog (which no one reads)...anyone with any decency would go back to the place where they made the false allegation to apologize...but then again...
Here is an excerpt from an interview with Ron Paul in Reason magazine
Reason: What did you mean when you told the Scholars that "the [9/11] investigation is an investigation in which there were government cover-ups"?
Paul: I do think there were cover-ups, and I think it was mainly to cover up who was blamed, who's inept. See, they had the information. The FBI had an agent who was very much aware of the terrorists getting flight lessons but obviously not training to be pilots. He reported it 70 times or whatever and it was totally ignored. We were spending $40 billion a year on intelligence. It wasn't a lack of money or a lack of intelligence, it was a lack of the ability to put the intelligence together. Even the administration had been forewarned that something was coming, the CIA had been forewarned. So it was a cover up of who to blame. I see it more that way.
Reason: The position of the Student Scholars is that 9/11 was executed by the U.S. government. Do you agree or disagree with that?
Paul: I'd say there's no evidence of that.
Reason: So what did you mean when you told Student Scholars you'd be open to a new 9/11 investigation?
Paul: Well, I think the more we know about what we went on is good. But I don't think there's any evidence of [an inside job] and I don't believe that. The blame goes to bad policy. And a lot of times bad policy is well-motivated. The people who believe in a one world government are well motivated, but they disagree with me.
Thanks for the reply.
Can you supply a link for that interview?
Got it, thanks.
Some of the comments below the interview are interesting too.
i forgot to mention the “flight 93 was shot down” nonsense.
Seems the fatcats in the Republican party are doing enough damage to themselves.
How did 2006 work out for you? I can only assume you're one of the idiots who wants to try a repeat in 2008.
I can’t say it any better than this. Do you mind if I just copy and paste this for all of the anti-freedom freaks on this site??
When are you Paul fans going to give it up?
There are about four good answers to this question:
1. When a candidate comes along who’s even stronger on Constitutional, personal liberty, and other genuinely conservative issues (are you hearing this, GOP decision-makers?),
2. When we give up on the Constitution,
3. When Ron Paul dies, or
4. When we die.
RINO Liberaltarian Traitor Paul has LESS THAN $1 million on hand, in modern campaigns that’s essentially a zero balance.
We are already one of the largest DEBTOR nations in the world, I guess we ought to wear the “beggar” label while the going is good.
I read through the first 50 posts and noticed the usual suspects flaming Dr. Paul.
I have to wonder: If he has no chance and he’s really a nut-case, then why do they keep clicking on these threads? Is it a sort of cyber-whistle as they pass the cyber-graveyard? Perhaps they know something we all know, only they’re afraid to admit; maybe, just maybe, Dr. Paul is right, they’re wrong and he stands a good chance of being the next President of the United States. If they’re right and he does stand no chance of winning why do they spend so much time and energy arguing against him?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I would also like to see a link to Malkin’s retraction, even if it is weak.
A year ago when the RNC was conducting a “begathon”, I told the gal on the phone “what you need to do is go set a up a little booth on the Rio Grande and ask those illegally coming into this country for money—because that’s the only one’s benefiting from the current Republican policies...” She whined she was just doing her job and hung up on me.
The Republican party abandoned me some time ago. I don’t give a hoot in hell for the republican party anymore. Many Republicans, like Demoncrats, would vote for a dog’s turd if it were registered Republican. I only support conservative values. And its obvious many Republicans in office could care less...
Granted. But is that properly regarded as a criticism of Paul, or an indictment of the strange, misshapen form that viable candidacy has taken in our Republic?
You're not alone.
It is just a statement of the fact that RINO Traitor Paul cannot impress enough liberals.
Either that, or the RINO traitors who carry water for the party establishment want to see this troublesome man of principle discredited.
I’m not questioning the reality that the RINO Traitor Liberaltarian has principles, I am simply saying that they aren’t conservative principles.
I love the way you name-callers try to undermine Paul at every turn. If he's so insignificant, why do you bother?
