Ron Paul tells Cheney to back off Obama
thehill.com ^ | Jan. 5, 2010 | Eric Zimmermann

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) took a shot at Dick Cheney last night, saying the former Vice President wasn't in any position to be criticizing President Obama.

"Well, I think he had his eight years and he's caused a lot of trouble for our country and he perpetuated a war in Iraq that was unnecessary and wrong-headed," Paul said of Cheney on CNN's Larry King Live. "So I would say that it would be best he not be so critical right now."

And what I’m hearing is someone who will not engage in the debate.

No No, Ron is is NOT a rev. Wright. I’m a Texan, and I can say Ron is on our side at least 80% of the time.I’t just that he’s so damn outspoken on EVERYTHING. True, if he’d learn to shut up part of the time. He’s a Libertarian, and they have a problem with the war, and I don’t really understand why.

Cheney with his heart problem could take Paul and Obama at the same time, easy.

A typical response from a child for Ron Paul, the anti war NeoLeftist.

LOL - like you own conservatism -

good luck with that

like I said this afternoon, Paul has Bernanke and the Fed nailed, and makes perfect sense - however his foreign policy and Cheney comments are beyond silly

....and had you taken a look at my comments today before making a knee jerk chest puff, you'd have realized that

Oh, so it would be better if he hid his anti semitism, his insistence that we deserved the terror attack because we’re occupiers, etc.

Give me a break.

It’s time to primary this senile Paleo jackass and defeat his boy in KY. Enough is enough.

Probably, because the country is falling apart around us. Why is it republicans believe money grows on trees when it comes to war?

The whole concept of fighting them over there instead of here is completely false as the US State Department continues to import them here. My guess, funded by Saudi money.

I'm all for war as long as it involves killing the enemy which doesn't seem like the current strategy.

I like Cheney and I like Ron Paul and have agreements/disagreements with both of them.

Obama won the last election because the Bush/Cheney negatives were sky-high with independents, no?

No. If it wasn't for that interestingly timed economic crisis and ACORN Obama would have been another John Kerry.

Since your banned I get the last word.

Ron Paul is in nitwit. He can take his Chamberlainian foreign policy and shove it up his keester.

Fascinated by Ron Paul’s idealism?

You mean the idealism about taking campaign contributions from Neo-nazis?

NeoNazis or Wall Street Banksters, which is worse?

Goldman Sachs robbed taxpayers of tens of billions, ditto GE, NeoNazis are chuckleheads but they do have the right to political speech and they certainly cannot buy legislation ala Goldman Sachs.

“NeoNazis or Wall Street Banksters, which is worse?”

I see you did not deny that Ron Paul accepted political contributions from neo-nazi’s.

Nah, I recall the story but was unsure whether the donations were returned or not and frankly did not care enough to scroogle it to find out as even “if” he accepted them, I have little problem with Paul doing so.

Imvho, if Republicans are to be consistent they cannot simultaneously complain about “Campaign Finance Reform limiting free speech” while at the same time refusing the equivalent of Speech, which is money, at least that was the law until “Campaign Finance Reform” took effect.

And I see you did not answer my question, which is worse, NeoNazis who make up a tiny fraction of the electorate, or Wall Street con men who robbed tens of billions from the taxpayers.

Which is it?

Ron Paul can go to Hell!

if we don't have patriots willing to stand up to these tyrannical bastards, then we deserve what we get.

I am so damned tired of these cowards.

Am I the only one to notice the left-winged lamestream media giving Ron Paul much more air time than he deserves, much like they did John McCain back in 2006 and forward?

Are we once again getting set up by the left to fall for who they say is our spokesperson over one we would prefer?

Paul’s whiny little leftist anti-war voice is all of a sudden being heard and written about in several places, even claims of he has new found respect and influence in the GOP.

As I recall, the media did the same thing to us with John McCain.

The media must recognize that Paul is a looney as are his adherents.

So, why, all of a sudden, is Paul becoming the darling of leftist media programs?

I'd bet 100 clams that if I walked down the street and asked the first 100 people I meet in the neighborhood who "Ron Paul" is, where he's from and what he does for a living, not a single person would know the answers.

However, the media will build him up henceforth. Any enemy of Cheney, no matter how sick in the head, becomes an instant darling of the media.
