After the Paul newsletter disclosures, one would think that the Paultards would hang their head in shame and slink away. Instead they defend the wakadoo and the ugly subculture of the ultra far right. Bizarro.
I agree, he's a fruitcake.
L Ron Paul can only speak of the Constitutiion.
He really hates the constitution as the enemy he does
not want Americans to fight back, the IslamOfascist, if they win they will take our constitution from us immediately not before killing us first.
L Ron Paul is another useful idiot for the left.
I think this article was captured my view of Ron Paul well. I don’t think calling him crazy serves any good purpose. He is right on many domestic issues, but he is out to lunch of foreign policy.
If the Republicans nominated him, they would take an massive beating. The problem is that Ron Paul is way too far out to the right on domestic issues for the American public at this time. That’s unfortunate but true.
Take Social Security as one example. Yes, it was a Ponzi scheme from the start, and we baby boomers will pay a dear price in our old age. But look what happened when Bush tried to take the tiniest step toward privatization. The idea that people should actually be allowed to keep a small portion of their own contributions in their own private account was demagogued down and defeated. Many Americans apparently trust the govt more than they trust themselves. Go figure.
Yet Ron Paul is going come charging in on a white horse and abolish SS completely? Oh, and he’s going to eliminate all welfare and entitlements too while he’s at it. Yeah, right. You must be smoking something pretty strong if you think he can get elected on that platform, and you must be clinically brain dead if you think he can accomplish those feats.
Gee. Nobody understands the Constitution but Ron Paul and his followers. Every single discussion with these people begins with some kind of fevered pitch about not caring or not understanding the Constitution.
Yeah. Electing Ron Paul is going to do wonders for the things that are corroding it. Talk about a messiah complex.
It is Monday night and there are a load of Ron Paul related threads all of a sudden. Do they have their meetings on Monday and then send people forth to spread the word?
Idiots all.
Paul has some very strange views that would make anyone question his reasoning.........
MR. RUSSERT: How many troops do we have overseas right now?
REP. PAUL: I don’t know the exact number, but more than we need. We don’t need any.
MR. RUSSERT: It’s 572,000. And you’d bring them all home?
REP. PAUL: As quickly as possible. We–they will not serve our interests to be overseas. They get us into trouble. And we can defend this country without troops in Germany, troops in Japan. How do they help our national defense? Doesn’t make any sense to me. Troops in Korea since I’ve been in high school?
MR. RUSSERT: So if Iran invaded Israel, what do we do?
REP. PAUL: Well, they’re not going to. That is like saying “Iran is about to invade Mars.” I mean, they have nothing. They don’t have an army or navy or air force. And Israelis have 300 nuclear weapons. Nobody would touch them. But, no, if, if it were in our national security interests and Congress says, “You know, this is very, very important, we have to declare war.” But presidents don’t have the authority to go to war

“CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I’m tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don’t have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn’t going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.
JACK BLOOD, GUEST HOST: I think it’s fair to say that of all the candidates out there, the one most interested in reopening the investigation and clearing the questions is Dr. Paul; and you should be commended for that.
PaleoPaulie is a pantload attempting to block the future of our country while he is in service to Al Qaeda.
Amen.
But the Constitution is the rule of law for the United States and limits the power of government here.
As for Israel, she is more then able to handle any threat in her region.
We actually do her more harm then good to her in meddling in her internal affairs.
It would also help her if we stopped funding the Arabs!
I only skimmed those quotes on the other thread... but what I saw... I couldn’t say I disagreed with...
Maybe it would help if you sorta posted them one at a time... so we can see which ones YOU are complaining about...

Paul was perfectly content to stock his campaign war chest with money from conspiracy nutcases, anti-semites and racists by putting out newsletter and fundraising appeals in his name appealing to their demented beliefs. He’s a disgrace to the party and unfit to hold any public office, let alone the presidency.
