MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Republican Ron Paul says he would lift sanctions on Iran and order the U.S. Navy to pull back from its shores.
Paul says if the U.S. relieved pressure on Iran, people would breathe a sign of relief, interest rates probably would not go up and oil prices probably would drop.
Speaking in Manchester, Paul said the Bush administration has been looking for war with Iran.

Congressman Duncan warns Columbia University Cancel Invitation to Iranian President
Nope--he doesn't. And worse is that strategy would lead to a nuclear arms race in the middle east as well which could end up obviously in catastrophe.
Good grief. I won’t slam Dr. Paul overall, because I think he’s great on domestic issues. But I profoundly disagree with him on some major foreign policy issues, to the extent that I can’t support him.
(I’m still glad he’s in the race — it’s nice to hear a few candidates actually talking about the Constitution).
I agree that sanctions don’t tend to work. I don’t agree that we should pull the US Navy away from their shores. We need to give aid and comfort to the Persian people; part of that is letting them know that we’ll back them up if they take action.
IMO, from an admittedly armchair general! :)
“Paul says if the U.S. relieved pressure on Iran, people would breathe a sign of relief, interest rates probably would not go up and oil prices probably would drop.”
That would make him the “probably” candidate.
Just what I want to put my faith in, someone who would “probably” come to help me when I was in need.
No thanks you RP goof balls.
It’s funny how he refers to interest rate movements while simultaneously running on (among other things) his desire to eliminate the Fed which dictates interest rates. The guy is full blown freak. He is too ridiculous to take seriously by many and that in turn makes him marginally dangerous.

“Neurotics create castles in the air. Psychotics live in them. And psychologists collect the rent.”
In Ron Paul’s case (and it is a case) he simultaneously lives in them - and collects the rent.
Two questions for the audience:
1. Which side did we support during the Iran-Iraq War?
2. Regardless of your answer to number 1, why did we support them?
Did he talk about his 9/11 conspiracy theories? I do hope he talked about the Wild Texas Shrimp Industry and all the money he proposed to spend on it and on other Texas pork projects - He proposed the spending then voted against it. (Does this sound like Kerry to anyone else?) In my opinion Ron Paul intentionally misleads people. He is not to be trusted in any way. I hope his district dumps him and he has to go back to the job he is really trained for and that is delivering babies.
“I do hope he talked about the Wild Texas Shrimp Industry and all the money he proposed to spend on it and on other Texas pork projects - He proposed the spending then voted against it. (Does this sound like Kerry to anyone else?)”
He feels like he has the obligation to present it because a citizen of his district asked him to, but he personally opposes it so he votes against it.
Nothing like Kerry.
We’re under attack here. Stand down, Paultards. ROFL.
Just thought I'd join the fun, it's late and I ain't gotta work tomorrow.
How’s Hunter’s fundraising going? :-)
I know...not quite as well as the KKK-Cash & SOROS-FUNDED RuPaul campaign.

All of the $18.5 million donated to Paul so far this 4Q came from KKK & Soros?
Maybe Hunter can go to one of those PayDay loan stores and get a cash advance.
No, most of it came from Soros & MoveOn....the rest from poor saps claiming to be conservative, but were in fact closet LIEberals.
Along with every other looney comment he has been making. Since he will not be President of anything but his growing Internet cult, spending TIME on him is wasting time (IMHO).
Iran has enough encouragement from our candidates on BOTH sides of the aisle. Huckabee is not far from saying the same thing and Obama is already there.
With the level of intelligence (no not the NIE) but equally idiotic levels in our population IQ, it is a wonder we have not already been eaten up by the Islamists and the Dims.
The “I” below is not me but the narrator.

Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
“We don’t have half dozen nuggets,” said the teenager at the counter.
“You don’t?” I replied.
“We only have six, nine, or twelve,” was the reply.
“So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?”
“That’s right.” So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me pu t her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those “dividers” that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn’t get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the “divider”, looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, “Do you know how much this is?”
I said to her “I’ve changed my mind, I don’t think I’ll buy that today.”
She said “OK,” and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had ju st happened.

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept a sking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM “thingy.”

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. “Do you need some help?” I asked.
She replied, “I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they(pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?”
“Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?” I asked.
“No, just this remote thingy,” she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.
As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, “Why don’t you drive over there and check about the batteries. It’s a long walk.” (she had no clue either)!

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, “I’m almost out of typing paper. What do I do?”
“Just use copier machine paper,” the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five “blank” copies.

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in “Twister.”
I asked the manager what had happened.
He told me that the driver had set the “cruise control” and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

One night the Senior VP at the main office got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: “I’ve got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?”
EIGHT
Police in Radnor , Pa. interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message
“He’s lying” was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn’t telling the truth. Believing the “lie detector” was working, the suspect confessed.

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine.
The mother says, “Okay, but, I just gave him some ant killer.....
“Dispatcher: “Rush him in to emergency room!”
Life is tough. It’s tougher if you’re stupid
