Ron Paul Goes Full Metal Truther

Red State ^

[death2tyrants]

After I calm down and don’t go off on the zombies who’re celebrating the loss of a good man here.

Don't worry about Captain Kirk. He's still got his girlfriend to keep him company.

Interestingly, most candidates run for the center. Looks like RP is trying to run with a coalition that tries to unify the outliers. Who knows? It might even work. Strange times to be sure.

The Unitardian Party? Paul/LaRouche 2012?

Maybe we'd all get lucky, and they would end up killing each other over who would get top billing on the ticket.

I know articles are sometimes deceptive, but I don’t like Ron Paul. That can’t be changed. If his foreign policy was tempered and his overall attitude..the same...I wouldn’t mind him at all.

Paul was one of the 5 Repubs voting to repeal DADT. He thinks homosexuals in the military are fine, they have rights, etc etc.

No freaking way would I ever vote for him. I’d choke to death on my own vomit.

[Absolutely Nobama]

I’d rather gouge out my own eyes than vote for RuPaul, Defender of All Things Homosexual.

I have to confess that I don’t really see the appeal of Ron Paul to Iowa voters. Well, the Republican ones, at least.

Well, Paul is at at an all-time high on Intrade.com. Meanwhile, your RINO is slipping. Just saying...

Paultards have a forum.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed they were all of the Rosie O’Donnell moonbat species.

You’re welcome!

Hey, Joe.

[TheOldLady]

You have your list of potential zottees? You’re not the only one, LOL!

[Captain Beyond]

Just because some yahoo can occasionally get the time right by looking at a clock does not make them good presidential leader material. Yeah the Fed needs auditing but so does a whole lot more in Washington DC. Sorry RP no can do on you as a president.

[TheOldLady]

I stand corrected. [smiles]

[Moose4]

Yeah, but in CK’s case, I guess this was a sort of last-straw thing. Eventually he just put enough strain on the tripwire and the Admin’s claymore went off...

The Constitution stays! It’s ours and were keeping it. Ron Paul just goes away.

"..stifling a real discussion of the issues."

Quite the opposite from my perspective.

The true cynics are the neocons who used 9-11 as a pretext to get us into a war, even though the secular Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11. BTW, how’s that pro-Iran fundamentalist regime in Baghdad working out for you?

You should read Douglas Feith's book, War and Decision. It's the book historians will study to understand the Bush administration's reasoning on Iraq after 9-11. Feith was Rumsfeld's undersecretary and considered to be near the center of the "neocon" cabal by Truther types and leftists. The book includes lots of internal memos by Rumsfeld himself where he boils his arguments down to a few bullet points (one of the interesting things is that you see what a master of concision and ordered thinking Rummy was -- his memos rarely went over a few hundred words, even the really important ones). What is obvious is that the administration didn't use 9-11 as a pretext to go to war, and certainly didn't rely on the argument that Saddam was responsible for 9-11.

Instead, the reasons for war were primarily 1) a concern that Saddam would supply WMDs to radical Islamic al Queda types who would be willing to deploy them against the US homeland, and 2) a concern that a second attack involving WMDs would necessitate internal security measures that would seriously infringe individual liberties in order to prevent further attacks. The administration felt that aggressively taking the war abroad while implementing sensible security measures at home would minimize the risk to liberties at home.

Well, Paul is at at an all-time high on Intrade.com

Right, all the way up to 8!

Unfortunately for the Paul squad, Newt is at 37.

"If you read Capn' Kirk's statement rather carefully,"

LOL!

I hope you're not actually expecting this crowd to read something, are you?

They already know everything because they are on FR.
