The Associated Press reports that while campaigning in New Hampshire yesterday, Congressman Ron Paul said that if he is elected president he will end economic sanctions on Iran and withdraw the U.S. Navy from nearby waters.
I am not surprised. On September 25th of this year when the House of Representatives voted 397-to-16 to impose economic sanctions on Iran, Paul was one of the 16 no votes.
In July of this year, the House voted 411-to-2 to condemn Irans Hitler- clone, president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The rare bipartisan vote was in reaction to Ahmadinejads denial of the Holocaust, while telling mobs in Iran that they should imagine a world with no Israel and no United States, because, he assured them, that day is coming soon. The two no votes were cast by Ron Paul and leftwing nut Dennis Kucinich.
Ron Paul says he believes in the U.S. Constitution and smaller government. Good for him. But those views are cancelled out by his unwillingness to confront the evil of Islamofascism or to even condemn a Holocaust denier. This DISQUALIFIES him to be president of the United States.
For those Ron Paul supporters reading this, who are no doubt furious, so be it. If you want off the e-mail list, so be it. If you never donate another dime, so be it. If, given his record, you still think Ron Paul is a legitimate candidate that morally responsible people can support, you are on the wrong email list anyway.
I only bring one thing to the table with this daily report my promise to tell you the truth and that is what I will continue to do, even if some of you dont want to hear it.
B.F.D.
R.I.P.
Ron Paul is a Kook.

Ron Paul uses the Devil Sign....it was done deliberately.
Ronbots will say Ron didn’t do that.. it was a surfer’s shaka sign

“The vote was not about foreign aid, tax money or sending weapons. It was about declaring solidarity with Israel. Paul went so far to equate Israel with the terrorists as well.”
Doing otherwise might dry up his lush campaign contribution stream from Aryan Nations, Stormfront, etc?
How will I know what to think if the government doesn't tell me?
STill, let's look at the comment must vanish from the pages of time.
That seems to imply far more than the end of the Third Commonwealth of ISrael. It calls for Israel to be historically annihilated. Teh only way to do that is to kill all Jews.
I guess it was a B.F.D. You forgot it was Jim's site.
One of the stranger pieces of legislation that Paul Co sponsored would have kept him out of the debates!!
. H.CON.RES.263 : Expressing the sense of Congress that any Presidential candidate should be permitted to participate in debates among candidates if at least 5 percent of respondents in national public opinion polls of all eligible voters support the candidates election for President or if a majority of respondents in such polls support the candidates participation in such debates. Sponsor: Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2] (introduced 11/6/2001) Cosponsors (2)
See some of Pauls CO sponsored legislation here:

Take note of the ultra liberal socialists in congress he signed on with.
Some time back Duncan Hunter got tired of all the snipping about the war and wrote a resolution so those that wanted to pull the troops out could have their say and get their vote.
Ron Paul didnt even bother to vote.
It was voted down 403 to 3.

I am not surprised. On September 25th of this year when the House of Representatives voted 397-to-16 to impose economic sanctions on Iran, Paul was one of the 16 "no" votes. In July of this year, the House voted 411-to-2 to condemn Iran's Hitler- clone, "president" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The rare bipartisan vote was in reaction to Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust, while telling mobs in Iran that they should imagine a world with no Israel and no United States, because, he assured them, that day is coming soon. The two "no" votes were cast by Ron Paul and leftwing nut Dennis Kucinich. Ron Paul says he believes in the U.S. Constitution and smaller government. Good for him. But those views are cancelled out by his unwillingness to confront the evil of Islamofascism or to even condemn a Holocaust denier. This DISQUALIFIES him to be president of the United States.Paul's belief in the Constitution has to do with ignoring what's going on in the world and not defending anything past US territorial waters. One reason to support a smaller government is to make inevitable the destruction of the United States by its permanent enemies.
If only Ron Paul had voted "yes", there would have been on Peace on Earth, full employment, and the Indians would have won the World Series.
Yes, very much necessarily.
If his theory was that Congress is not empowered to make such condemnations or that this particular condemnation was not warranted, he should then have voted NO, which he did, rather than voting PRESENT.
Oh come on. The question he was voting WAS NOT whether Congress should consider such things. Paul showed his true colors.
