Why I don’t like Ron Paul
Politicons ^ | March 2nd | Henry D'Andrea

Posted on 03/02/2011 8:45:30 AM PST by conservativeforpalin

After releasing my Top 5 GOP frontrunners list for March, many Ron Paul supporters were very unhappy not seeing him in the top five. They left tons of comments complaining that I didn’t include him and saying he is the only true hope for 2012. As most of my regular readers know, I do not like Ron Paul, and I support Sarah Palin for President. So, to not seem biased, I wanted to tell you why I don’t like Ron Paul. However, not to leave you in the cold, in terms of 2012, if he were the Republican Nominee, I would support him.

First off, many Republicans are strongly pro-war, and Ron Paul is not just anti-war, but he has adopted some of the more obnoxious and inflammatory rhetoric from the Left about the war that is extremely grating. Hell, according to Paul, Iraq is a war for oil and empire, engineered by neocons, and in Paul’s book, we deserved to be attacked on 9/11. That is not Conservative at all, and quite frankly disgusting. I do not want the President of the United States with that mindset. Additionally, Paul’s inconsiderate, “we must leave immediately, regardless of the consequences,” position on Iraq comes across as poorly thought out. Even though Paul is opposed to the war, the disengaging of the United States from the war immediately and without consequences is very thoughtless. It’s something you might hear from a Liberal college student at an anti-war rally. Even President Obama and Secretary Clinton, all whom have spent months trying to convince America that they’re the most anti-war of all, have said we may be in Iraq for years to come, though Obama has set a date for withdraw.

Secondly, Paul wants to get rid of the CIA...............

The old one is a smoking heap of charred FAIL.

Pablo, who is very wily, called IBTZ almost a week ago.

We are fighting two wars we cannot afford...

We're only fighting one. The other one ceased being a combat operation on September 1, 2010. Pay attention.

9/11 happened...because of our consistent foreign occupation in countries we dont even belong in.

You claim not to be a Paul supporter and yet you quote right from the Ron Paul / Alex Jones Kook-Aid Kommittee. Nice try.

I know you're banned and all, and can't reply, which is kind of a bummer, because I'd love it if you could tell us which previously banned Paultard retread you are.

Hope it’s not a real problem for you. We have some here as well, but it’s mostly Peoria and south along the Illinois river. We’ve had a lot of snow locally, but the weather has allowed the runoff to be over time.

As Darksheare has suggested in his 2nd link in post #67, these Paulbots may live in his 3rd or 4th level of muzzie ignorance. Either they ignore what’s happening or use it for their own purposes. Without further evidence it can be hard to classify them, but I suspect most are within these two categories.

Ron Paul and his Paulhroids would like you to believe that Conservative Americans or "Neocons" as they call us, want to Nation Build and send troops everywhere on the planet.

LOL!

I live in the middle of a bunch of creeks, they have lots of deadwood and overflow at the slightest provocation.
The creek at one end of the road was within two inches of overtopping onto the road at 0430 this morning as I drove by.

Be safe, and good luck. I recall (not fondly...) having to deal with storms and a high water level when we lived outside of town. Now, with sewers and storm drains, it's not an issue for us.

I suspect ost are in the 4th level as muzzies hate Israel, and so do they.

I think you hit another nail on the head.

Have to get a recap of our meeting put together and emailed. Have a good one...

It was posted that Ron Paul "cursed" Israel". It is up to the poster to support their statement. The poster could not support this libel. Google's only references to Ron Paul cursing Israel are Bible quotes, which don't mention Ron Paul, and the posters statement here on FR.

Is it so hard for posters on FR to be honest and back up their claims?

Will do.
My area is mostly farmland, and I’m on sloping hill.
I should be okay.
The rondout, esopus, wallkill river and such won’t be.
They’ll all reach peak at varying times.
The rain is over, but the drainage has just begun.

Where are the threads here on FR from "neocons" demanding US troops in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Libya and Iran?

It doesn't fit the Paulhroid narrative does it?

No, I was laughing at what you posted here...

Ron Paul would like you to believe that Conservative Americans or "Neocons" as they call us, want to Nation Build and send troops everywhere on the planet.

What a hoot!

Thanks for the laugh!

Anyonw who is a Paul booster and reads this far, go back and read the whole article. Then tell me why I should vote for a guy who thinks the CIA secretly runs America. That’s something one would normally see in a poorly xeroxed pamphlet being passed out on a street corner by a Marxist.

Sorry I'm late for the troll roast - I had to run errands. Anyone leave me a leg bone to gnaw on?

And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I prefer to fix my own plate and sit in the corner. If I piled on, I might accidentally gnaw on someone else's leg. LOL
