Hello Friends,
I haven't posted about the kook Ron Paul aside from some comments in related posts but after the crap he spouted in the latest debate I couldn't help but comment about it.
After listening to him I sometimes have the feeling that he is in the pay of radical Islamic countries and terrorist organizations. His pro Hamas, pro Hezbollah, pro Iranian views are so far out that I sometimes wonder how sane people can support this nut job. I guess the ronbot cult members think as he does but there are others that aren't members of his cult yet they think he walks on water and can do no wrong. Makes you think doesn't it?
In the last debate he said (amongst other idiotic things you'll read in the below article) Quote:
“We don’t know that they have a weapon. In fact, there is no evidence they have it... I don’t want them to get a weapon, but I think we are encouraging them to have a weapon because they feel threatened,” he said.
“If you look at a map of Iran, we have 45 bases around their country, plus our submarines. The Iranians can’t possibly attack anybody and we are worrying about the possibility of one nuclear weapon.”
. I wonder if the kook forgot that under the nose of American forces in Iraq Iran had their people there, as well as in Syria, supporting the Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza to name just a few thing they've done while being surrounded by all the bases the idiot talks about. The more I write the more it becomes obvious he's colluding with the enemy other wise his insane claims really make no sense.
The below article is an interesting read and in addition there will also be a quote from another article from the Daily Caller with a link to read the full article.
Shalom,

Ron Paul: The Iranians can’t attack anybody and we are worrying about the possibility of one nuclear weapon?

During Wednesday night’s Arizona Republican presidential debate, Ron Paul, once again, professed his conviction that there is no need to attack Iran.
“We don’t know that they have a weapon. In fact, there is no evidence they have it... I don’t want them to get a weapon, but I think we are encouraging them to have a weapon because they feel threatened,” he said.
“If you look at a map of Iran, we have 45 bases around their country, plus our submarines. The Iranians can’t possibly attack anybody and we are worrying about the possibility of one nuclear weapon.”
“Just think about the Cold War. The Soviets had 30,000 of them, and we talked to them. The Soviets killed 100,000,000 people…”
He said that going to war “rapidly like this” would be “risky and reckless,” but, addressing his fellow Republican nominees said, “If you are so determined to go to war, the only thing I plead with you for is to do it properly- ask the people and ask the congress for a declaration of war”
“This is war, people. People are going to die. You need to get a declaration of war.”
He said the sanctions against Iran, to date, have only served to “enhance their power.”
He said if American could talk to the Soviets, “we can, at least, can talk to someone who we don’t have proof has nuclear weapons.”
However, as Gary Bauer, Reagan Republican who briefly ran for president in 1999 and 2000 stated, “Ron Paul’s conservatism is isolationist and conspiratorial. He’s hostile to our military, hostile to our allies like Israel, and was hostile to great conservatives like Ronald Reagan. He denies that Iran is building nuclear weapons. He says that it was a crime to kill Osama bin Laden. He blames America for creating terrorism. He says that we don’t know the truth of the 9/11 attacks because of a government cover-up. He condemns our ally Israel for defending herself. Ron Paul is not a Reagan Republican. We can do better.”
Here's the the quote from the Daily Caller in which Rick Santorum refers to the alleged alliance between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.
Quote:
Later in that appearance, Santorum addressed the allegations that two of his rivals for the GOP nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul have formed an alliance.
“You explain to me why Ron Paul is running ads in Michigan,” he said. “He hasn’t even appeared at a campaign event in Michigan. And he is running ads in Michigan and he is attacking me. I mean, you figure that one out for me and you probably are a better political expert than I am. He hasn’t attacked him once in a debate. Look, I’ll take on all comers and I’ll take them on in pairs if necessary.”
Paul, it should be noted, will be making campaign stops in Michigan on Saturday, Sunday and Monday in the lead up to the state’s primary on Tuesday.
