Paul's Pausse

Ron Paul has a vagina?

[jmc813]

If the rumors are true that he’s used the newsletter mailing list for fundraising, another indication of comfort with the views of his newsletter and it’s subscribers.

So you've pretty much entirely dropped the whole "I don't think Paul is a racist but..." schtick you were using?

[jmc813]

He clearly doesn't consider it an issue.

Nor does anyone else other than a homo over at the National Review and about 6 or 7 freepers.

[jmc813]

Watching his primary percentages drop 2% with every primary show he’s fading into the GOP woodwork.

Wha?

[Proud2BeRight]

“Wha?”
Ron Paul results and trend:
Primary 1 - Iowa 10%
Primary 2 - New Hampshire 8%
Primary 3 - Michigan 6%

[jmc813]

For your premise to be right, every state would have to have a totally identical electorate, otherwise, you could say that Fred Thompson is finished as a candidate. Come tomorrow, he’s going to prove he’s not.

Have you seen these?

More good news, just brining new voters into the Republican tent.

No, Paul doesn't know this guy.

Michigan County Coordinator For Ron Paul Is Ku Klux Klan Organizer

January 18th, 2008 by Chris Jones

Randy Gray, the Midland County, Michigan coordinator for the Ron Paul campaign is also a longstanding active and vocal organizer for the Knight’s Party faction of the Ku Klux Klan.

A number of people have brought this to the attention of the Paul campaign, to which they have had no response. However, quite mysteriously the list of Michigan county contacts on the official site of the Ron Paul campaign has vanished.

It’s just too bad the Ron Paul thugs can’t make Google’s cached pages disappear, because phenry over at Daily Kos has located the missing pages.

Here is what the list of Michigan county contacts at the official Ron Paul campaign site looks like now, and here is what it looked like before the cover-up.

Also, the allegedly independent site michigan4ronpaul.com is suddenly missing Midland County and the name of its KKK coordinator.

Here is what the Michigan County contacts list at michigan4ronpaul looks like now, and here is what it looked like before the cover-up.

Without a doubt the Ron Paul supporters are going to claim that this is yet another conspiracy and it’s a total coincidence and/or complete fabrication every time Paul is associated with hate groups.

As a little icing on the cake, here is the now missing profile of Midland County Coordinator Randy Grey from the michigan4ronpaul.com website. Notice how Ron Paul is smiling and shaking the man’s hand?

If that still isn’t enough for you, then please enjoy the above YouTube clip showing Randy Grey with a freshly shaved head holding a friendly KKK rally. He’s got that whole “angry Führer” thing down pretty well don’t you think??

I know you Ron Paul supporters are still going to say that doesn’t prove anything! How was he supposed to know that guy was a Klansman? Or that time he was photographed shaking hands with most notorious Neo-Nazi leader in America, he of course didn’t know a thing about it.

Oh yeah, and the racist newsletters that were printed under his name for 10 years, many of which were written in first-person he also had nothing to do with. We’ll just chalk that up to a Jewish conspiracy!

But even you die hard “Paulnuts” have to admit that it’s a little strange that no other candidate seems to have his picture accidentally taken with Nazi’s, or accidentally hires Nazi’s, or has racist and bigoted newsletters penned under his name, or has Nazi’s show up at campaign rallies.

How long are you going to keep lying to yourselves? You thought he would be a good candidate at first and maybe you like some his ideas, but your being hoodwinked and it’s time to walk away.

Week after week the evidence of Ron Paul’s ties to right-wing extremists and hate groups continues to mount, and week after week you tell everyone to stop hatin’ on Ron Paul and you just sweep it under the rug. Wake up!

 

[Proud2BeRight]

I really only started noticing and thinking about the 2% down trend when I saw that Paul is also polling about 3-4% in SC (the third 2% drop). I don’t believe much in polls so I didn’t include on my last response but it did trigger the original observation.

He was most attractive when he was an unknown in internet hype and spam polls, campaign signs, slogans and blimps. When people see behind the curtain they see a pitiful man with a some dangerous wacky ideas and an offensive (or incompetent) past. As he gets unmasked for what is and was, his cult popularity drops quickly.

[SJackson]

BTW, one of the national KKK sites has a donation link for Paul. I’m guessing he won’t block that one either, money is money after all.

[Allegra]

[wideawake]

Of course, even if one were to go along with Ron Paul's pathetic claims that he had no idea so many of the people he has met with, been photographed with, taken money from and allowed to speak in his name were Nazis and Truthers, one still has to ask: if Ron Paul really had no clue about who he was dealing with and what was going on all around him, is he competent to hold office?

And why, if he has just realized all this stuff now for the first time, why hasn't he moved to sever ties with these crews of nutjobs and losers?

[bcsco]

Wake up!

Is there another issue at play? They have so much time, energy, ill will and 'image' invested in this campaign, can they recant their support without feeling foolish?

[SJackson]

If you buy his line, of course he's not competent. Posted the KKK article as a thread, Michigan County Coordinator For Ron Paul Is Ku Klux Klan Organizer. And the national Brotherhood of Klans-Knights of the KKK has a donation link on their website

[wideawake]

They have so much time, energy, ill will and 'image' invested in this campaign, can they recant their support without feeling foolish?

Of course not.

It reminds me of the die-hard Buchananite losers who soldiered on even after Buchanan had allied himself with that Marxist space case Lenora Fulani.

[jmc813]

There’s a link to FR on that blog. It wouldn’t happen to be yours, would it?

[Xenalyte]

What’s a pausse? I don’t speak French.

[jmc813]

What’s a pausse?

People who dislike Paul tend to suck at written English. Case in point. Not only is it a Daily Kos hitpiece, it also looks like it was written by a mentally-challenged teenager.

"... but you'd have to be as blind as a cave fish not to see the threat posed by Islamo-terrorism ..."

Agree. But the question is how to best deal with that threat. Personally, I liked the idea of killing all of OBL's people in Afghanistan that we could find and as many of the Taliban who sheltered them. I am not equally certain about the efficacy of "bringing democracy to the Iraqis" as a way to neutralize the radical islamists.

"And if you care about freedom, you really don't want a declaration of war unless absolutely necessary as it almost always dramatically increases the power of the executive branch i.e internment of innocent people w/o trial, restrictions on speech, government control of economic resources etc.."

I must take extreme exception to this one. You ALWAYS want an unambiguous declaration of war before engaging in one. I can think of no better proof of this than the actions of the craven politicians in both parties who supported the war when it was popular but headed for the hills as soon as it hit a rough patch. This is exactly why the President is required under the Constitution to get the Congress unambiguously on record before putting troops in harm's way. The American military cannot be defeated if the people are behind them. But as we have seen there will always be politicians who will undercut the military as soon as it is perceived to be in their interest to do so.

Ron Paul has a vagina?

I briefly met Paul on Wall Street during his '88 campaign. The most interest he generated was from some people with some French publication. I don't know why those people were there but they came over to take a picture of us standing together.

Not that this addresses your question but when else will I get to tell that story?
