Would you listen to a poet? Or a prophet journal all this world's injustice? Or try and stop it?

No.

Ron Paul, fighting for your right to produce racist literature!

It’s funny all of the Paul supporters have been so scammed, and they refuse to admit it....even to themselves.

Let’s remember the “programs of social uplift” that MLK advocated. He wanted a guaranteed income for the poor and $500 million in reparations to be given for descendents of slaves over a 10 year period. Are these the type of things Dr. Paul is advocating when he genuflects to the memory of his newfound hero?

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
He has NEVER voted to raise taxes. He has NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget. He has NEVER voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has NEVER voted to raise congressional pay. He has NEVER taken a government-paid junket. He has NEVER voted to increase the power of the executive branch.


That is because he has never done anything.
Except put in earmarks.

Ron Paul issued this statement in an blatent attempt to try to distract from the awful anti- Martin Luther King comments his newsletter repeatedly stated during the 1980’s. To read exerpts go to FOX online. The newsletter had his name on it and he allowed it to go on and on.

With this statement today - Paul becomes the largest flip flopper the world has ever seen !

Do you think all this money will ever turn into votes? How many states has he won now?

Notice how RuePaul uses the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther Kings to promote his candidacy. And notice how the campaign issued the statement on 1/20/2008, five days after Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday. One would think that if the real purpose of the statement was to honor Dr. King, it would have been issued on, or just before, his birthday.

A flagrant political act by someone who’s possibly a friend (if not sympathizer) of Truthers and neo-Nazis.

Statements like this are going to hurt his contributions. I am sure many of the KKK pledges he received will be retracted.

The stuff that Ron Paul allowed to be published in the newsletter bearing his name is terribly racist.

Even if he was not actively running the newsletter - he had a responsiblity to control anything that has his name on it. That means he accepted staff or writers with this viewpoint. He didn’t fire them. He allowed them to continue.

And Paul claims total ignorance - that is a sign that he does not have the administrative or moral ability to control even a little newsletter.

This is major folks. Paul is going down!!!!!

According to FOX NEWS Ron Paul . .

. . doesn't exist except as a footnote.

And you'd take everything that Hillary-loving outfit puts on their overloaded screen as revealed truth?

I do not see how. He is already down as low as he can possibly get.

Perhaps. But only if the KKK'rs have a clue. And I have my doubts.

It's not a flip-flop. It's a whitewash.

Pat Paulsen would get more votes than Ron Paul.

Yep, I doubt he’ll drop out though. He’ll stay in and continue to siphon the votes of true conservatives like Thompson. His supporters are rabid!

I disagree. No true Conservative in his right mind would consider voting for a lunatic libertarian (redundant statement) like Ron Paul.

It's mixing apples and oranges.
