Ron Paul has some surprising news for the Tea Party:
You’re being taken for a ride.
At least this is what many libertarians like Ron Paul believe when they see someone like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin trying to lead the Tea Party at the “restoring honor” rally this weekend. In fact, Ron Paul believes, if you’re looking for real freedom, you should really go back to the core of the constitution and the bill of rights, which Beck and Palin do not fully endorse when you really look at their beliefs. Whether it be Palin’s support for starting more wars or Beck’s beliefs on paying the private Federal Reserve MORE interest on our money by means of a VAT tax.
Ron Paul believes in neither of the above.
Here was Ron Paul’s message to the Tea Party via The New York Times just the other day:
“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”
While the Tea Party will be out supporting Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this weekend, you wonder how many of them will be in full support of more wars and paying more interest to a group of untouchable and unauditable private bankers otherwise known as the FED? This is precisely what Ron Paul is asking the American public to consider when looking at the Tea Party leaders and see if they really stand for what they believe in.
Ron Paul believes the Tea Party is not about “left” or “right” like a lot of political pundits make it out to be. It’s about the constitution, and limited government.
Ron Paul cannot resist letting us all remember just what a headcase he is. The guy is as loony as the day is long.
Ron Paul is as fruity as a nut cake...a tall Ross Perot.
"And that's MY job!"
Somebody’s cheese is sliding off their cracker.
I really wish ALL Pauls would just go away.
Oh, that calls for a Photoshop image if anything ever has...

Come on, Ron...your whining is starting to wear thin...
I happen to like fruitcakes. Please don't demean them in that manner. They at least have something than can be swallowed.
Exactly! How can I afford another blimp, 5 star hotels and an entourage if you’re giving your money to the Tea Party and Sarah Palin?
Huh?? I've never heard Beck advocate a VAT. Did I miss something?
Maybe I just haven’t been reading enough threads, I don’t know. But it seems to me that the FR RP supporters have been somewhat silent and subdued lately.
Is it just me, or does it seem like RP’s severe mental retardation is now so obvious that some of the people around here who previously supported him are having second thoughts?
I could be wrong.
...and without the ears.
ditto
I wondered what all those loons in the media and in liberaltarian land were thinking when Glenn Beck started talking about returning to God. They’ve been trying to convince everyone that TEA Partiers don’t want God and don’t like social issues just because they are the Taxed Enough Already Party. As if social conservatism were not a part of conservatism and you can’t possibly have a social conservative who believes in limited government. I wonder how many of these people are going to continue to delude themselves.
If Dr Paul were to comment on financial issues, I would listen. But this man is as wacky as a wounded partridge when it comes to social issues.
Part of it has to do with being between election cycles where he’s not campaigning. Some of it has to do with him not being “in the news” lately. And any number of them were zotted over the last election cycle, so their numbers are fewer.
But, make no mistake. They’re still around. I see names every once in a while. They’re just not that much for them to be obvious about...
