Paul: Trump 'desperate' for attention
Politico ^ | April 25, 2011 | staff

Posted on 04/25/2011 12:14:47 PM PDT by Baladas

Ron Paul said Monday that Donald Trump's pursuit of President Barack Obama's birth certificate shows how "desperate" he is for an audience.

Appearing on ABC's "The View," Paul jabbed Trump for having supposedly sent investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama's birth.

"I understand he has sent out some detectives to find out," Paul said on the show. "I haven't invested in any of that, so I guess I'll have to see what he does."

You know, I use to think the same...but today, Ron Paul is looking like a clairvoyant regarding the economy and the Fed.

Never thought that I would think of Ron Paul in any way except that he was a loon - today, some of his ideas might just save America.

Yeah, disgusting isn’t it?

I am not one to stick up for Trump, but I think he was referring to the general elections (for President). Paul has run and lost twice. I know because I voted for him both times - ‘88 & ‘08. His stance on the ineligibility issue is stunning coming from someone who claims to be the “Champion of the Constitution”. He lost me at “irrelevent”. It is anything but irrelevent. Yes, here in Texas, he has won enough votes in the Lake Jackson, Clute and surrounding area for years now...the locals love him! If you view Paul as the two time (Presidential) loser against a man that has winning in his DNA, it does not sound so outrageous a statement. At any rate, it’s a long road, lets see how it rolls out.

This is the typical MO of those who use the 9-11 truther smear against Paul. Put up a link (but never, never quote from it). When you bother to go the link, it provides NO proof of this smear. The closest it can come to proof is to note that Paul wants an “investigation” of the attack and that he was interviews by Alex Jones. Provide your evidence NOW for this allegation or apologize to Ron Paul.

Ron Paul goes on The View to say Trump is desperate for attention. Wow...the irony is overwhelming.

LOL - I had the same thought.

Wonder when Ron's next appearance on the Alex Jones show is scheduled?

LOL - and what are you going to do if Mozilla doesn't respond to your orders?

"If you view Paul as the two time (Presidential) loser against a man that has winning in his DNA, it does not sound so outrageous a statement."

Okay, lets get Trump's history out there. He considered running in 2000, 2004 and 2008. He never could quite take the plunge. Before this year, he was most serious in 2000. So the reason the man that has "winning in his DNA" doesn't have loss under the column is because he was too chicken to take the plunge. I'm not one to stick up for Ron Paul but at least he had the guts to try.

I agree with a lot of what Ron Paul says, except that he was way off about the war in Iraq. IMO, the reason a lot of these people are revolting in the middle east is because they see that democracy can take hold in their countries. Unfortunately we have Mr. Doofus as President so we don't seem to be able to take advantage of this opportunity. Some of these will turn out well, some not so well. Overall, I think it will be a net benefit to America. And Ron Paul is way off about the birth certificate. It does matter.

However, I have a lot more respect for Ron Paul than I do for Donald Trump. Ron Paul strikes me as a man of integrity even though I don't agree with him on major policy positions, I can respect our diferences. The Donald is an opportunist who has no business criticizing someone who has tried and failed, when he's never even tried. Though the Donald has indeed failed a few times himself. I would consider declaring bankruptcy failure.

Orders? No.....I am appealing to his sense of decency, if he has any. You seem, on the other hand, to view smears as acceptable.
