Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Thursday evening that Bush administration officials were gleeful after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks because it gave them a pretext to invade Iraq.
"Just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq," the Texas Republican told a group of mostly young backers in Iowa. He went on to suggest officials are now setting the stage for an invasion of Iran.
Paul, who was tied for second in this week's CBS News/New York Times poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers, is making a strong push in the Hawkeye state in hopes of scoring an upset victory in the first-in-the-nation January 3 caucuses. Paul volunteers have been working to convince Paul's mostly young supporters - many of whom will be on holiday break from college when the caucuses take place - to be sure to make it to their caucus site.
Paul's libertarian views - on the foreign policy front, he wants to dramatically reduce the U.S. military presence abroad and end all foreign aid - put him at odds with many Republican voters. A poll from Gallup this week found that 62 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters see Paul as an unacceptable nominee.

What a piece of shit.
I don’t care if it is profanity, it needs to be stated with total clarity as to what is ment. Actually this is an insult to pieces of shit and I appologize for that.
I marked him as DONE when he advocated legalizing heroin at a GOP Debate.
>> “The people who support Ron Paul are liberal pot smoking young people.” <<
.
At the TEA Party Express Tour kick-off rally in Napa, the Ron Paul contingent was easily the oldest group in attendance, mostly in their 60s and 70s, and I have to hand it to them for getting there early and claiming all the shade.
I didn’t see even one young person among them, and they were the most vocal too.
And the RonPaul pushers wonder why we don’t like their man.
Lol you got brass FRiend call him out for what he is a pos.
Does Ron know that 3 year olds are ineligible to vote?
I have one regularly sending me the Ron Paul stuff - along with tons of other consipiracy related stuff.
I know my friend is intelligent - yet I can’t help but be discouraged by the garbage people seem to want to believe in.
I’ve been told if you don’t see things their way you are “closed minded”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I marked him as DONE when he teamed up with Barney Fag to legalize dope.
And Iran is not a threat.
Ari is right.
Bush, Rummy and the rest were horrified at what happened.
Sources revealed that he was ecstatic over the Ok. City bombing, as it could be used as gaining political capitol for him.
From the cover up of the fact that a Mideastern man was seen involved (Islamic terrorism) to bulldozing the evidence before it could be investigated.
The bulldozing tactic was also used after the government massacre at Waco, perpetuated by Clinton and put into action by another criminal murderer, Janet Reno.
Ron Paul, you are off the wall
But when the twin towers were brought down Bill Clinton was envious of Bush. He wished it had happened on his watch.
???
“You can mark this day as the day Ron Paul’s campaign is officially DONE. “
yeah but his supporters actually agree with him.
Calm down, Ron. We'll get you to a happy place real soon! One with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes! They're coming to take you away!
How true, see my post just above yours...
“Ari is too nice to use the word nuts. Traitor should be used.”
I’ll call him a traitorous bastard.
Good point. Where are the Paultards ?
Pinging is tempting, indeed......Must....resist.....
Care to defend this ?
