Seems to me the ones who need to explain are the folks in the previous administration.

The reality is that the one who yapped this nasty, unmitigated B.S. is the one who should be explaining his leftist, Alex Jones-fueled views.

I know Rand’s supporting his dad, but surely he cringed when he heard this hateful lunacy.

Anytime I’ll ever feel the need to furp, I’ll always think of Ron Paul.

ROFL - a rich and well-deserved legacy for Ron Paul.

It doesn’t work like that - he’d siphon off some Independent and “conservative” votes.

"You’re going to give some of these people here fits with that. BTW, thanks for those links."

I'm a truth-seeker, hear out everybody, read both sides of an issue, don't swallow propaganda, when in doubt, return to the facts. That always gets me in trouble! ;)

Seriously, I read a lot of Solzhenitsyn, Huxley, and Orwell when I was young -- I'm aware of how black can get turned into white, up into down, wrong into right, just by giving in to group-think instead of thinking for yourself. But the latter too has its price.

“You’re going to give some of these people here fits with that.”

Fits of uncontrolled laughter, perhaps.

It’s well documented Bush II (and Clinton, and G.W. Bush) all considered Iraq a threat before 9/11, and all wanted Saddam out. Whether Bush II was “gleeful” to have a 9/11 as a reason to go in and actually do it is for historians, foreign policy wonks, and cable news talking heads to debate, not me. I don’t think that ‘glee’ is a word I would have chosen.

But hey, Ron Paul is free to choose whatever words he wants to give anyone listening pause to think about it. Sometimes he doesn’t choose the smoothest ones, or even the right ones, as we’ve seen quite frequently.

Of course, many will simply choose not to think and just take the easy road of slamming Paul for saying anything at all.

So- no, I’m not going to waste anymore keystrokes defending anything he says. What actual good would that do? At least not to you, anyway. You can either debate the statement on its merits, or lack thereof. You’ve already made your choice! So what do you need me for?

“I’m a truth-seeker, hear out everybody, read both sides of an issue, don’t swallow propaganda......”

And yet, you’re a Paulbot that starts off every other sentence with “Only Ron Paul” and “Ron Paul is the only....”

I see.

Saddam Hussein tried to off Bush's dad. And the military plans invasions almost everywhere. That's their freaking job. None of this means taht Bush was happy about 9/11.
And http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/ are a bunch of COMMUNISTS.

The only ones who were gleeful on 9/11 were the Islamists that Ron Paul and his Code Pinko allies support.

And you are an intellectually lazy, ad hominem-slinging, slanderer, but I try not to hold that against you. I've just guessed it's all you are capable of -- a cognitive deficit that doesn't allow to think, but instead focuses purely on the emotion of "hating Ron Paul". It's so vicious and all-pervasive, it's almost personal and certainly blinding - -especially in thinking that you are impressing anyone with your "brilliance" on this issue. You've offered no facts to counter what the facts -- you are just like a monkey slinging poo --very impressive I'm sure to a 2nd grader.

Thanks for your thoughts! See? You've made your choice too! And you didn't need my help to do it even...

You’re right. It is personal. It’s very, very personal. See, I have a serious problem with subhumans like RuPaul who call this magnificent country “imperialist”, as if it were the Soviet Union or the Third Reich. I have loads of problems with people who accept endorsements from Code Pinko and Stormfront. You know what else ? I resent the fact that your hero voted to repeal DADT and refuses to support a Constitutional amendment to protect marriage from the evil and unconstitutional homosexual agenda. I’m leaving something out....Oh yeah, I resent how RuPaul loads earmark after earmark on bills he knows will pass and then votes “no” to look cool for his cultists.

Is that enough fact for you ?

He is just another old career politician who has a pet issue he likes to talk about but dares not actually fix the issue lest he doesn’t have it to talk about or raise money on any more.


Yep. Just like other GOPers on issues like abortion.

Hmmm...wonder where the sanctimonious Ron Paul defenders are? I'd like to hear their defense of this remark. They have a defense of this, right?

He's polling a lot better than your male cheerleader of a candidate, isn't he?
