Rep. Ron Paul told Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" Sunday that the war was a mistake – the American Civil War.
"Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war…. [President Abraham Lincoln] did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic," Paul said.

How is one “kicked out” of the republican party? And why do the other GOP candidates allow him to stand on the platform with them at the debates? He is being bankrolled by George Soros, MoveOn.Org AND the Nazis!

"Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war…. [President Abraham Lincoln] did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic," Paul said. Unfortunately, for Dr. Paul, Lincoln didn't start the American Civil War, the South did, when they attacked Fort Sumter.

On the face of it, I agree with his statements on the IRS and the Civil Rights Act. He can otherwise go shit in his hat and pull the brim down to his ankles, the little menace.
The best I could say of him is, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And that's being magnanimous.

Senseless civil war???!!!!!! It only got rid of slavery and allowed the US to live up to its founding ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all, not just whites. This guy is such a jerk.

[President Abraham Lincoln] did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic," Paul said. The Civil War and the resulting Reconstruction Act did indeed change our Republic, but I thinks it a pretty big stretch to say that was Lincoln intent. After all the South started the war
Google "The Wade-Davis bill"

I KNEW IT! Lincoln was just another conspirator... part of the military-industrial complex, the Rothschilds, and the tri-lateral commission.
To: Clintonfatigued
He isn’t even willing to fight a war on American soil.

Almost every family has a relative like this, a loveable but dotty old great grandfather type who rages against imaginary slights.
Ron Paul, it’s time for your medication!

Ron Paul, it’s time for your medication! As batsh*t crazy as MoRon Paul is, I think a lot of his supporters are even nuttier.
