"I had to literally beg him to support the vote authorizing the President to send Troops to Afghanistan. (Emphasis added.) I actually threatened to resign if he did not vote that way. And another key District Staffer, practically threatened to resign, as well. At the last minute Ron voted in favor of the Authorization. I suspected he only did it, cause he knew if he hadn't he would cause the Republicans in the District to oppose him, and he wouldn't win reelection."
"But I do remember one time, when a group of Houston Jewish Young Republicans wanted to lobby the Congressman on some issues. I begged Ron to meet with them. He was very hesitant. He finally agreed. But the meeting turned out to be a disaster. The Jewish YRs came all the way from Houston, and all Ron did was berate them in our District Office about how the Israel Lobby was too powerful in Washington, and other issues. He also got defensive when the Jewish YRs expressed concern over Palestinian violence against Israel."
Yup, that's a guy I want in charge of our foreign policy. Didn't want the US to take on the gov't of AFGHANISTAN (that's the Taliban, NOT Iraq -- you know, the people behind 9-11), thinks it's all the "Israel Lobby"s fault, and gets defensive if someone dares think the terrorist scum in Palestine might be a legitimate concern for Israelis.
Uh huh, Go Ron Paul. GO AWAY, that is!!!
