Exchange between Ron Paul and a truther on the Alex Jones show in Janruary

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.

Yeah, he’s all for buttering up America’s enemies, like al Qaeda. For them, he’s sweetness and charity. I notice his fan club only has rancor for folks like us too.

What should I make of this statement? Maybe Dr. Paul's view was that Democrats would somehow act as a check on the Bush administration's (perceived) corruption. Please remember that Dr. Paul isn't a rank-and-file Republican. Personally I think the statement stinks, but then again so does Bush letting Sandy Bergler, Joe Wilson, etc off the hook, keeping Clinton cronies in his administration and State Dept and CIA.
