Once again Ron Paul shows what he’s really made of. I hate to be the one to tell all you Ron Paul supporters you were getting hosed, but you wouldn’t listen to common sense. So, I have but one thing to say to ya’ll.

I TOLD YOU SO!

In a previouis statement, Ron Paul was reported to have said that as long as the money keeps coming in, he’ll keep running for President.

Oh really?

This man who is SOOoooo much about morals and integrity won’t quit the Presidential race because money is pouring into his campaign? Yeah…that’s morals and integrity right there…

Now this week he post’s a letter to his supporters telling them that he’s cutting back on his Presidential campaign to focus on his Congressional campaign.

Oh My God! Say it isn’t so Ron!?

I thought Ron Paul was a man who acted on his beliefs and principles??? I mean, that’s what all his supporters will tell you…right? In fact, that’s what Ron Paul has said in the past…correct?

If that was really the case…wouldn’t he give all that up to finish the Presidential race? I mean, after all, according to his supporters and his own mouth, he’s got integrity by the boatload and lives what he believes.

IF HE REALLY BELIEVED HE COULD WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, THEN WHY IN THE HELL IS HE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS CONGRESSIONAL SEAT?

Truth is that we all knew from day 1 that Ron Paul wasn’t going to be any kind of serious threat to any Presidential race. He’s the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican party. I wouldn’t doubt that both go out hunting for crop circles or sit on the balconies of their D.C. Townhomes and count UFO’s flying over the capital.

You knew he wasn’t a contender, I knew it (and told you so) and Ron Paul knew he wasn’t a contender.

But Ron Paul is a brilliant marketer. As any good businessman did, he recognized a niche (the kooks and fringe no one else wanted) and exploited it for all it was worth. Several million dollars worth that is! Trouble is, Ron Paul got use to the milk from this Cash Cow and is going to continue milking it for all the Cash it’s worth.

One thing that Ron Paul did accomplish was raising money for his campaign. Wonder how much of that money he’s raised for his Presidential campaign will end up in his Congressional campaign?

The writing is on the Wall. Every one can see it but many don’t yet understand what it says. It says “I’ll keep doing this dog and pony show as long as you send me money.” Hey, he’s still getting the flakes sending him money…who can fault him for that?

Once again Ron Paul shows us more by his actions (or lack of) than by his words.

Here lately, it seems that Ron Paul and some in his campaign have finally realized that relying on their kook fringe base might not go over real well with mainstream America.

So it looks like Ron Paul is trying to shake the kooks out, however the more he tries the more he picks up. The Ron Paul campaign seems to attract the fringe kooks like metal shavings are attracted to a magnet.

There’s an old saying in politics. “You get the supporters you deserve.” Truer words could not be used to describe the Ron Paul campaign!

Even his own supporters can’t decide on how, or even if, they should ditch the wacko’s. Of course, some in his campaign ARE THE WACKO’S.

For example, when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to the U.S. a few weeks ago, some of the Ron Paul supporters thought it would be a good ideafor Ron Paul to meet with Ahmadinejad.

If you read through that whole thread, you’ll see some of his supporters believe that Ahmadinejad is not a bad guy at all, just misunderstood…like Ron Paul! (can you hear the Cuckoo clocks going off?)

Here’s a quote from one of them.

He is NOT a madman! he is actually an intelligent and virtuous leader

Next we have the incident on the Ferry with the Ron Paul 911 Conspiracy nuts yelling insults at Rudy. Insults like “What did you do with all the Gold!” Referring to the 200 million dollars of Gold that is supposedly missing from the Twin Towers.

The Ron Paul camp was quick to denounce that incident.

Then we have this excellent you tube video of the Communist Party-USA parade along with CODE PINK and ANSWER groups. Their all pretty much the anti-American, Anti-War, Legalize drugs crowd.

Watch the video. Do you see any other candidates banners there?

So now Ron Paul is faced with the task of trying to distance his self from the fringe. I hope he has stopped to think that it’s this very fringe that he started out embracing that is now the group of supporters making the campaign donations. I’m not sure they’re going to like it when the see “Ronnie” slowly backing away from them.

Now there are some disturbing stories coming out of the woodwork about some of Ron Paul’s views on racism. Seems Ron Paul sent out some newsletters back in the early 90’s that were not very flattering of certain races, mainly blacks and Jews.

This blogger scored some archived Houston Chronicle articles where one of Ron Paul’s newsletters sited a unspecified poll: (highlighting is mine)

“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action,”

“Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,”

Paul also wrote that although “we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”

After he made these remarks in his newsletters, and after the fat hit the fire, Ron Paul then tried to pass them off and blame his staff saying he didn’t write the newsletter. He made another statement after he caught flak for blaming his staff that indicated “some of the responsibility” was his since the newsletters had his name on them.

Gee, do your think so Ron?

Ron Paul has been caught several other times with his hand in the Racist cookie jar as this blogger has uncovered.

Why do I bring this up? Am I an Ultra Sensative racial type? Not at all. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The reason I bring these issues up is to once again show those of you who are blindly following Ron Paul what bad judgements this guy is capable of. Hell, he made all these comments in a newsletter when there was no pressure at all. Then he practically self implodes in the first two Republican debates when thrown softball questions.

If a guy can not make common sense judgement calls under these circumstances, why in the hell do you think he’ll make good judgements when under the pressure of being the President of The United States? The truth is, he won’t. And that is one reason I and the majority of other Americans will not be voting for him…well that and the fact he’s a couple brick shy of a full load.

And to prove that point, here’s a cut from the last debate where he tries to blame 9-11 on our presence in the Middle East.

As the race for President heats up, the Ron Paul political race looks like it’s beginning to smoke and going down in flames. Ron Paul’s only hope now is the push he’s been getting from the Democratic party. They realize their only hope in winning in ‘08 is stand up Ron Paul to become the next Ross Perot. Only time will tell if the blind will take the bait on this one.

If you listen to Ron Paul supporters, he can do all this and more.

Just who is Ron Paul and why should anyone vote for him as President of the United States?

Ron Paul is a Republican Congressman from Texas who is running for President of the United States.

I’ve never paid much attention to Ron Paul since he doesn’t represent me. Over the years I’d hear snippets of some googey stuff he’s said or silly crap he’d done. But I never gave it much thought. That is until he started to run for President.

At first I thought it was a joke. When I realized this guy was serious, I started to do my research into what it is he stands for and his beliefs. Boy, was I in for a surprise.

Ron Paul supporters will tell you he leans toward being a Libertarian, although he is registered as a Republican. (this was my first red flag) However, when I review his voting record, I see he is all over the place. The meter swings far left to the Liberal side and back across the scale to the Conservative side, with a few stops in the middle. From what I can tell though, it stays a little left of conservative.

His supporters will tell you that he is a strict Constitutionist. I will admit he tries to hold that line, however, again his actions don’t support that view 100%.

Ron Paul voted against the War in Irag. To be honest, when I read that, he pretty much lost me. This showed me that he has Liberal tendancies that he cannot control.

During the May 15th Republican debates, that Liberal tendancy really came out when he stated on National TV that the U.S. was the cause of 9-11 attacks because of our presence in the Middle East. Thank God Rudy was there to slap him back in place!

However, even after Rudy brought the house down with his comeback to Ron Paul’s “we’re responsible for 9-11″ statement, he was given other chances to explain his statement and he just ketp saying the same thing! DUH

This guy looked like a deer in the headlights. I couldn’t help but think to myself “and there are many people who want this guy as the next President of the United States”.

I was absolutely embarrassed to be from the same State as Ron Paul!

But let me back track to Ron Pauls Congressional record.

Ron Pauls Voting Record

• Ron Paul voted against the Intelligence Authorization Act but it passed anyway. This Bill authorizes the appropriations for fiscal year 2008 for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government.

I guess Ron Paul thinks we do not need Intelligence to keep track of our enemies.

• Ron Paul voted against the Agriculture Disaster Assistance Appropriations Act. 

I guess he thinks the Farmers are on their own.

• Ron Paul voted FOR the “Cut-N-Run” Bill that the Democrats tried to push on the President.

I’m smelling a Liberal trying to be a Conservative here

• Ron Paul voted against the Student Loan Sunshine Act. (he is 1 of only 3 Congressmen to vote against it) This law establishes requirements for Lenders and Institutions. It’s aim is to protect Students and other borrowers receiving educational assistance.

I’m sure he has a good excuse on that one…after all…he’s suppose to be “Pro Education”

• Ron Paul was a NO VOTE  for the Improving Head Start Act. This Bill would improve the Head Start Program. I don’t know why he didn’t vote either for or against this Bill. After all, that’s what he’s in Washington for. Most of the time when a Politician doesn’t vote for a Bill, they’re either not where they should be (in the House) or they’re afraid of their constituents actions if they Vote they way they want, not their consituents. So they end up not voting at all and hoping no one notices.

 I have no idea what Ron Paul has against the Head Start program, you’ll have to ask him.

• Ron Paul voted Against the Wild Horse Protection Act. This Bill would restore the prohibition on the Commercial sale and slaughter of Wild free-roaming Horses and Burros.

Maybe Ron enjoys a hot juicy horse steak once in a while?

• Ron Paul was a NO VOTE on the Water Resources Developement Act. This Bill provides for the conservation and development of water and related resources and to authorize the Secretary of the Army to construct various projects for improvements to rivers and harbors of the United States.

I guess Ron is against clean water and flood control?

• Ron Paul was a NO VOTE the Advanced Fuels Infrastructure Research & Developement Act. This Bill facilitates the development of markets for alternative fuels and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel through research, development, and demonstration and data collection

So much for decreasing our dependence on foreign oil.

• Ron Paul voted NO on the Creating Long-Term Energy Alternatives for the Nation Act. This Bill reduces our Nation’s dependency on foreign oil by investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources, promoting new emerging energy technologies, developing greater efficiency, and creating a Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewables Reserve to invest in alternative energy.

Another NO for alternative energy research hunh Paul?

Okay, this is getting ugly now. These votes all happened in the first part of 2007. As you can see, he leans more Liberal than Conservative.

The more we learn about Ron Paul, the more it’s clear that he runs as a Republican, says he’s more like a Libertarian and acts more like a Liberal.

Ron Pauls Twilight Zone

You can’t dismiss his actions in the latest Presidential Debates either. In the first debate, he was asked what decisions he’s made that affected a large group of peoople. He mumbled and fumbled for a few minutes and couldn’t think of anything to say. He then said he “guessed” his decisions he made as a Doctor affected many people.

I immediately thought “What an idiot, he’s a Congressman, all his decisions affect a large group of people“. However, if you look at his voting record, you quickly see he’s on the losing end of many Bills, so I guess his time as a Congressman really doesn’t affect a lot of people afterall.

When I first started looking into Ron Paul, I liked some of his ideas and even agreed with him on a few. But it doesn’t take long to realize that Ron Paul’s ideas and beliefs are not realistic.

Don’t Adjust Your TV, It’s Just Ron Paul

Let’s just slip into the Twilight Zone for a second and see the United States on the day after the newly elected President, Ron Paul, takes Office. As Rod Sterlings says “Ron Paul has many ideas and beliefs he wants to implement as the new President of the United States. But there’s a detour up ahead and that detour will take Ron Paul into the….Twilight Zone”

What do you think would happen if Ron tried to end all the Departments in the Government that he wanted to? How about getting all the Bills passed he wanted to? Not going to happen folks. Both parties would be against him and he’d have the largest Lame Duck Presidency this country has ever seen. He’s spend his days in the Oval Office running in circles chasing his tail.

Now we return you to the regularly scheduled program.

And at the end of the day, Ron Paul just does not act nor look Presidential. I have nothing against him as a human being, I bet he’s a nice guy. But there are a lot of nice guys in this World who have no business being the President of the United States. I include Ron Paul in that group.
