CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Former presidential candidate Ron Paul criticized President Obama's economic recovery proposal but said Saturday that blame for the financial crisis is deep-seated and includes Republicans who failed to hold the line on spending during the Bush administration.

He also offered a harsh critique of the three Republican senators who have said they will vote for the economic recovery proposal. A vote is scheduled for early next week.

Paul, a Republican representative from Texas who sought the GOP nomination for president, said that although some people call Obama's plan to jumpstart the economy a "stimulus package," he thinks it is a "pure spending package."

At least the 20-something Obamatrons have excuses: youth and recent socialist government education.

you weren't talking about the 20-something Obamatrons... you were talking about potential Ron Paul voters who then voted for Obama... you were trying to say not all Obama voters were brain dead, and you used the potential Ron Paul voters who then voted for Obama as an example... a very bad example... you proved the brain dead point...

“you weren’t talking about the 20-something Obamatrons... you were talking about potential Ron Paul voters who then voted for Obama”

No, I was contrasting them with the pom-pom waving Jorge Boosh voters, who for the most part can’t rely on the excuse of a recent “graduation” from the pagan academies aka socialist government schools.
