Help me find dirt on Ron Paul

[bush]

Folks, I really need your help. We've got to find some
dirt on Ron Paul and find it fast. The primaries
are quickly approaching.

I’ve carefully searched Ron Paul’s personal
background. Can you believe this guy has been married
only once? And, that he’s been married to that same
woman for 50 years? Surely there must have been
numerous affairs during that time, but I’ve been
unable to find a single instance of it. I’ve listened
to quite a few interviews with his wife (hoping to
detect a chink in his armor) but all she does is
blather on and on about what a wonderful husband,
father, and grandfather he is. She fawns over his
impeccable integrity and how he would make such a
great president. Give me a break, Ms. Paul. What could
you possibly know about men?She should probably talk
to Rudy Guliani’s wife..er…mistress…er…whatever.

I checked Ron Paul’s professional background. We all
know that every politician has done at least one
illegal stock trade or colluded with someone at the
corporate level in some way, at least one time, if not
many times. But if Ron Paul has, he’s done a masterful
job of hiding it. Even in his private practice as an
OB/GYN, he has delivered over 4000 babies...and
performed several of them without the patient paying a
dime! No wonder they say he’s crazy. And no wonder
he’s not a multi-millionaire like John Edwards or Mitt
Romney. He should at least talk to Hillary Clinton
about investing in cattle futures.

I went on to Ron Paul’s political record. I just knew
that I’d find dozens of flip-flops on important
issues. After all, no politician can survive the
establishment without selling out his true principles.
It was only a few months ago that John “We must
protect our borders” McCain, was trying to push an
amnesty bill for illegal immigrants down our throat.
It's certainly no secret that Mike “I'm full of
one-liners” Huckabee raised more taxes than Bill
Clinton. And, Fred “I’ve always been a pro-life
conservative” Thompson admits to representing a
lobbyist organization that was pro-choice. But, alas,
much to my dismay, I found Ron Paul’s voting record in
2007 to look like a carbon copy of all his previous
voting records. No spin, no double-talk, nothing. He’s
not only refused to vote with the popular sentiment,
he has actually been the lone dissenting vote on
several occasions, even when it meant voting against
his own party! What’s up with this guy??

Don’t think I haven’t looked for a way to play the
race card, too. I had heard some rumors about Ron Paul
being a radical, white-robed, racist. Of course, his
own personal and political history provides an awful
lot of evidence that he supports equality for all
individuals and preferences for none. Well… so what?
Maybe his record does make that crystal clear. What
does that prove?

Ahh, and what about the religious issue? He’s a
protestant Christian, you know. Every student who ever
took a sociology class knows that the world is just
one huge crime scene and that every white protestant
male is a prime suspect. Barack Obama just doesn’t
realize how lucky he is to be running for the American
presidency with a Muslim background.

Well, out of total desperation to find
something—anything—that might blemish Ron Paul’s
character, I reviewed every single debate performance.
I listened intently for contradictions in his
statements. I found none. I watched carefully for
cheap shots at his opponents. Not even once. I looked
for instances of whining about his unfair treatment by
the moderators. Nada. I couldn’t even find a single
occasion where he rudely kept talking long after he
was told that his time was up!
What are we supposed to do???

Every top tier presidential candidate either has a
scandal in their background, an inconsistent voting
record, or some disconcerting weakness in their
character. At this point, I seriously think we should
search the underbelly of America for a new nominee.
Given the current requirements for popular support,
Ron Paul obviously doesn’t stand a chance in hell.

I once saw him help a little old lady across the street, but that's unconfirmed.

Yeah, he's not a little bitch northern politician. I hope like hell Mitt Romney doesn't get the election into office (that goes for Billary as well). And yes, I know he's the governor of MA.

He's a libertarian. They're terminally selfish. Ain't that enough?

[Choco]

he may be libertarian is you consider the current GOP republican....which is a laugh in and of itself.


you want dirt.....he took part in giving females drugs, getting them naked on a table with stirups, and poking and prodding them with various cold metal objects.

just so happens they were pregnant.....but you can spin that either way.

[SAHTT]

He doesn't have great experience in fixing $hit he's fu** up due to poor decisions, which he will inevitably face as president. All the other guys have been practicing regularly. Hillary is skilled in the art of covering up lies, ignoring failed partnerships, etc., she's the man/woman for the job.

Proving that libertarianism is another thing on the long list of things you don't understand.

The core belief of libertarianism is that *everyone* has equal inherent rights, and that no one has the right to trample others. We fight for the rights of everyone to make their own choices, even if we disagree with those choices. When someone, anyone, gets their rights violated, a bunch of us will stand up and object to that. We support and donate scads of money to all sorts of organizations that are fighting for our rights in various ways, even though it often seems pretty hopeless.

Ron isn't running for his health. His record shows very clearly that he isn't running for a lust for power, or to profit from doing favors for special interests. He returns his excess office budget; he has declined the Congressional pension; he doesn't accept gifts and junkets. He's running because he thinks he can do some good for this country and our freedom.

Yep, we libertarians are all pretty fuckin' selfish.

Although my avatar initially came out that way accidentally, I decided I liked the impressionistic effect, so have kept it that way on purpose. But thanks.

You just hit the nail on the head. He's from Texas. As such, he's not part of the United States of America. He should run for President of Texas instead. That low-down coniving trickster!
