Ron PaulI'm scheduled to be on Fox Business with Lou Dobbs tonight at 7PM Eastern. Tune in if you can.

Awesome, I'll watch that but what I really can't wait to see are the debates coming up. My guess we'll see that Perry is a bobble head well hell that all of them are bobble heads which will vault Paul into the lead. America will get a good look at his common sense approach.

If this thread is any example of the level of political discourse we can expect during this campaign season, it is going to feel like a LLLLOONNNGGG time before the elections are finally over.

When someone hands me stuff like this..I'll actually check it out with an open mind, so I will READ IT. Have you researched anything but these hate filled letters?

quote:

Ron Paul's not my top candidate, nor is he my bottom, and I was surprised to read about him plus racism. I did some digging with an open mind, and am shocked that if he did not hold these views that he would let them go out under his name.

My apologies for coming so late to the party but I wanted to read the whole thread before I responded to this, and the thread kept going and going.

The only complete article from the Ron Paul Political Report on the Internet that I am aware of is a 1992 piece titled "LOS ANGELES RACIAL TERRORISM," on the subject of the so-called Rodney King riots in South Central Los Angeles in 1991. It is available to us today because it was posted to the talk.politics.misc newsgroup on July 30, 1993 by Dan Gannon, a notorious white supremacist and Holocaust denier, and archived by the Nizkor Project, an anti-revisionism organization that was active in cataloging hate speech on the early public Internet.

"These stories may be very old in Ron Paul's life, but they're very new to the American public and they deserve to be totally ventilated," said David Gergen, a CNN senior political analyst. "I must say I don't think there's an excuse in politics to have something go out under your name and say, 'Oh by the way, I didn't write that.'"

...The controversial newsletters include rants against the Israeli lobby, gays, AIDS victims and Martin Luther King Jr. -- described as a "pro-Communist philanderer." One newsletter, from June 1992, right after the LA riots, says "order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks."

Another says, "The criminals who terrorize our cities -- in riots and on every non-riot day -- are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are. As children, they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white oppression is responsible for all black ills, to 'fight the power,' to steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible."

Rick Perry has taken a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential nomination race in two polls released on Wednesday, an indication that the Texas governor could replace the former Massachusetts governor as early favorite.

quote:

Thirty-three percent said they would vote for Perry, versus 20 percent for Romney. Bachmann had 16 percent support. The rest of the field was in single digits, with Gingrich at 8 percent, Paul and Cain at 6 percent, Santorum at 4 percent and Huntsman with 3 percent.

He's a big talker but easily outclassed by Paul.. That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to the upcoming debates. None of the other politicians have an ounce of knowledge that Paul has and I think you'll be surprised by the passion this guy puts forth.. If you haven't seen it for yourself yet. It's obvious that he outschools them on policy which is probably why Perry has declined to speak about Paul probably.. Could be other reasons as well but my bet is that.

quote:

Perry's support among Republicans was not dented by strong comments just after getting into the race, when he raised eyebrows among some of the party's opinion leaders by seeming to threaten Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and questioning Obama's patriotism.

Perry is now a fire breathing Libertarian, how convenient.
