Not silly pictures:


When Paul makes excuses for terrorists and their threats against Israel, when a majority of his supporters are rabid anti-Semitics, when he openly endorses (at sympathies with) OWS, disgusting anti-Semitics, there is no way to spin he is not anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.

This is only the beginning. Do you want more evidence that he is not the cutter you think he is?
$73 million - earmarks

Makes excuses for earmarks
http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/earmark-reform/
However, he does get to say “I never vote for earmarks”. tada, he gets to say that because he loads up the earmarks in bills he know will pass.
Like this: U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) was one of only four House Republicans to break rank from the party and request earmarks despite a Republican Conference earmark moratorium. Paul sent 41 earmark requests totaling $157,093,544 for the 2011 Fiscal Year. His largest single request was $19,500,000 for a naval training ship at the Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston, followed by a $18,126,000 to provide maintenance on the Matagorda Ship Channel. For Fiscal Year 2010, Paul requested 54 total earmarks, adding up to $398,460,640 in pork that the former presidential candidate sought to bring home to his district.

Fox's Ben Swann did an examination of Ron Paul's positions on Israel yesterday Reality Check: Are Ron Paul's Views On Israel "Misguided and Extreme"?

Swann debunked most of the accusations. The earmarks thing -- I tore through all that a long time ago. His people put an earmark in the bill and he votes against the bill. It passes anyway. It's the system -- not him.

I'll give you another one -- the newsletter controversy -- "Ron Paul is a racist". Problem is that Civil Rights leader Barbara Jordan and his local NAACP head stood up for Ron Paul on that one -- known him for years, not a racist. Racism is collectivism, the precise opposite of his philosophy of respect for the rights of the individual. Ron Paul is NOT a racist -- just ask the twenty African Americans on youtube who have gone through all of that newsletter crap and found he came up clean. And a photo with Dom Black - -especially when you don't know who he is and he's just another voter who asks for a picture with you -- doesn't a racist make.

I have turn this guy upside and sideways -- and have found one big thing wrong with him: He says what he thinks without regard to how people are going to twist his words and his motives for their own benefit.

What he is really "dangerous to" is the status quo of the Federal Reserve, the bankers and business as usual corruption in DC that stuck us with paying or the bailouts and the rest of the mess that was made there. Otherwise, I think that Ron Paul loves his country, believes in out freedoms and is willing to fight for them. He puts the interests of the US and the American people ahead of any other considerations, including his own ego. I can't see where that is supposed to be such a bad thing.
