Ron Paul has some surprising news for the Tea Party:
Youre being taken for a ride.
At least this is what many libertarians like Ron Paul believe when they see someone like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin trying to lead the Tea Party at the restoring honor rally this weekend. In fact, Ron Paul believes, if youre looking for real freedom, you should really go back to the core of the constitution and the bill of rights, which Beck and Palin do not fully endorse when you really look at their beliefs. Whether it be Palins support for starting more wars or Becks beliefs on paying the private Federal Reserve MORE interest on our money by means of a VAT tax.
Ron Paul believes in neither of the above.
Here was Ron Pauls message to the Tea Party via The New York Times just the other day:
As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.
While the Tea Party will be out supporting Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this weekend, you wonder how many of them will be in full support of more wars and paying more interest to a group of untouchable and unauditable private bankers otherwise known as the FED? This is precisely what Ron Paul is asking the American public to consider when looking at the Tea Party leaders and see if they really stand for what they believe in.
Ron Paul believes the Tea Party is not about left or right like a lot of political pundits make it out to be. Its about the constitution, and limited government.
Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!
Where the hell did you guys ever get the idea that enemy supporting antiwar moonbats would be welcome on FR?
That plain enough for you or do I need to spell it out?

Ron Paul is a Islam-loving turd.
Ron Paul is in bondage to a political label. Sarah Palin is free. Glen Back is trying to help our sick country.
LOL. I think a couple of folks either missed that one or have forgotten about it.
I’m unclear as to the point you are attempting to make with your ping to me. Are you in support of Jim Robinson, or in support of the person he zotted? Just in case there is any confusion where I stand with respect to Paul, please not I referred to him as R-U-N Paul (should provide a clue that I support both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars).
Paul loves the attention so his nuttiness plays right into that.”
Seems like Texas politics has more than their fair share of nuts. Not sure how we got so lucky.
We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world.
Ron Paul defense policy, “Bend over and grab your ankles.”
I've noticed.
There comes a time when you have to take the car keys away from Grandpa for his own good. Ron Paul is at that point.
On what do you base that assumption? Palin as councilwoman, mayor and governor hasn't let the trappings of office affect her.
It's not the trappings of the office that's the problem[1]. It's the other people in the beltway. Mr. Newt got lost. Andrea Seastrand got lost.
Mr. Newt had a golden opportunity to reform our government to something closer to what it should be. The Contract with America had its flaws (don't get me started about term limits), but overall was absolutely going in the right direction.
The two single biggest reforms we could make right now are:
Before we can do that, most of the beltway will have to be purged and it isn't going to happen. You can't vote out of office unelected bureaucracy.
There are millions of them and only one of her and I deem her survival odds negligible.
[1] Unless you're as feeble minded as a Barak Obama.
Hopefully he doesn’t have many supporters here.
Ron Paul is only news because he has supporters who should be voting R most of the time.
Most of them would have been Reagan Republicans I would assume.
We need the Reagan coalition rebuilt (low taxes, strong defense, roll back of oppressive govt, etc). It was the best hope in decades to save our nation.
If Barak Obama, currently in name President of the United States, sent in US troops to subdue Israel for regime change, would you support it?
I'm a fan of George "Avoid foreign entanglements" Washington and history has taught us that religious wars ruin both sides.
A war on terrorism, I can reluctantly agree with, though I do not think we can win that kind of war. A war on a religion, we cannot win. Giving Presidents in the Republican party a pass on whatever wars they wish to start is equally foolish.
