“Why would anybody take Ron Paul seriously?”
Can you name another candidate that is more serious than Ron Paul on cutting federal spending?
No. Can you name another candidate that is more serious than Ron Paul on letting Iran build nukes?
He's all for cutting federal spending unless it involves his district.
Some of the very important Federal spending needed according to Dr Paul.
Here is a list of some of the pork that Paul has applied for. 1. $25,000 for the Brazoria County Sheriff to establish a “Children’s Identification and Location Database.” 2. $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp. 3. $2.3 million for shrimp fishing research. 4. $3 million to “secure the acquisition of the McGinnes tract, protecting its critical natural resources and helping consolidate refuge inholdings.” 5. $5 million to expand the cancer center at Brazosport Hospital. 6. $200,000 for the Matagorda Episcopal Health Outreach Program to fund a “National Health Service Corp Scholar.” 7. $4.5 million to study the effects of the health risks of vanadium. 8. $3 million to test imported shrimp for antibiotics. (Does anyone think there is a big shrimp industry in Paul’s district?) 9. $10 million to repair the Galveston railways causeway bridge. 10. $1.18 million for “Personalized Medicine in Asthma” 11. $100,000 for a “data-driven automated system for nursing students on the Texas Gulf Coast.” 12. $257,000 to “prepare graduates from the doctoral program at the University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing to assume faculty roles in schools for nursing with a deficient number of doctoral level faculty.” 13. $1.4 million to buy buses for the Golden Crescent Regional Commission. 14. $2 million to buy buses for Galveston. 15. $5 million for highway spending. 16. $2 million to replace facilities for Galveston bus service. 17. $3 million to replace facilities for the Golden Crescent Regional bus facility. 18. $2 million to repair the Galveston trolley. 19. $2.14 million to renovate the Edna Theater. 20. $13 million for I-69 highway project. 21. $30 million the Texas Maritime Academy to refurbish a ship. 22. $4.5 million to maintain Cedar Bayou. Plus another $9 million 23. $15 million for “construction at GIWW Matagorda Bay.” Plus another $5.8 million 24. $100,000 to maintain Chocolate Bayou. 25. $2.5 million to maintain Double Bayou.
No. But I can name at least eight other candidates who are more serious about winning the nomination and being President.
Paul is a gadfly. He's not a serious candidate. He just wants to piss in the soup and get everybody agitated -- and talking about him.
That's "winning" to him.
Michele Bachmann. Sarah Palin, if she decides to run. Herman Cain most certainly would.
RuPaul talks a great game, but has accomplished nothing in his 35 years in CONgress.
I don’t think his position on Iran or Israel makes him a good conservative.
