Been hanging out at the Lefty sites, I see.

Those remarks were published in 1992, when he was out of office. Although published in his newsletter, they were written by others according to RP. He hasn't identified who they were though.

Look at the D.C. crime statistics and their "congressperson", Eleanor Holmes Norton. If RP was exaggerating about D.C., it wasn't by much.

As for the Israeli lobby, I don't believe any foreign government should be allowed to lobby our government to give them our money. Neither does Ron Paul. They should be barred from even making such requests. Ron Paul speaks against and votes against all foreign aid. However, the success of AIPAC makes it an outstanding example. At present the current $15 billion aid package for Africa, soon to be expanded to $30 billion (over five years), is one of the first times outside Iraq that any country or region has gotten more money than Israel. Israel has a number of remarkable sweet deals with us that have nothing to do with defense of Israel itself ("loaning" them money for defense which we forgive the debt a few years later, etc.). And yet, Israel is hardly a poor country. Personally, I don't approve of charity for foreign nuclear powers like France, Britain, China, Russia, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel. If you're rich enough to build nukes, pay your own way.

Doesn’t matter when they were published, toots. He uttered them (or at least published them). His name, his responsibility. Or is that concept too difficult for you to grasp?

Spin that one.
