Rep. Ron Paul at College of Charleston (Supports UN's "One" Campign)
One.org ^ | November 29th, 2007

Posted on 04/24/2008 6:55:05 AM PDT by mnehrling

Tuesday, November 27th, College of Charleston in Charleston, SC hosted Representative Ron Paul on campus for our Bully Pulpit series. “The Bully Pulpit: Reflections on Presidential Communication” is a series hosted by the College of Charleston and its Department of Communication that welcomes presidential candidates from the two major political parties to the College of Charleston campus to discuss the importance of presidential communication. The video of Dr. Paul can be found at cofc.edu/bullypulpit .

After the event, I met with Dr. Paul to discuss the issues of extreme poverty around the world. I told him about the ONE Campaign and our efforts to end extreme poverty and fight the global AIDS pandemic. He said he supported humanitarian aid if the money were available. Dr. Paul supports ONE in our effort- so add one more presidential candidate to the list!

Maybe he was just tired of not being number one and wanted to associate with number one. After all, Bono is number one, he is never number two, and no one will call him number two.

He said he supported humanitarian aid if the money were available.

That's understandable, unlike foreign aid, humanitarian aid is authorized in Secret Article 42-C. If the money isn't available, is he for it before he's against it, or against it before he's for it?

Hope these kids didn't send money.

There is no way in hell this is true. The guy is either lying or misunderstood Paul. Say what you want about him, but there is no bigger enemy of the UN as well as foreign aid in Congress.

I seriously answered my phone to the tune of "Vertigo" for a week after that episode aired.

He went to their forum and it is on video at the link. Decide for yourself.

“There is no way in hell this is true”.

You are absolutely correct. Consider the source here, misleading people.

Everyone should do their own research before commenting.
