Ron Paul on 9/11

[doodlebug 3]

I love this guy.

[churipu 4]

He'll never be President...

He'll never be President...

I dunno, he's got a lot of support in New Hampshire. I feel pretty confident he'll win the primary. I see more bumper stickers for Ron Paul than any other candidate. I see more yard signs for Ron Paul than any candidate. And he's third in cash on hand out of all the Republicans.

I live in a house full of people who plan on voting for him.

Don't underestimate his chances, and if you don't vote for him, or switch your party registration over to Republican and vote for him, then of course he won't win. It'd be a self-fulfilling prophecy, wouldn't it?

He's got a HUGE following on the internet and the more and more people get his name out there I wouldn't be suprised if he came in very close. If nothing else he'll certainly shake things up and get people to actually think instead of just following along with the masses.

Lots of signs for him around here too. Driving down 128 there are Ron Paul signs on the overpasses, and occasionally some guy standing there waving too.

Glad to see there are some people down in Mass. who support him, too...I figured all the ones who would support him had already moved up to NH

Heck, when he opened his official campaign office in Concord, there was a get-together at 2:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and around 80 people showed up. Here are some pics I got of that, and of Dr. Paul (not very good ones, the crowd surged and since I'd already met him before, I went ahead and moved backwards so that some of the people who hadn't could have their chance).

What about his stance do you disagree with, and why?

Funny how even CNN ridiculed his stance on 9/11 but what he said makes sense.

I'd vote for him...

We have his sticker on our car too! He rocks

Oh yeah, 9/11 is all our fault! What a nut job. So because a mass murderer like UBL doesn't like what we do, that is justification for attacking us? Give me a break!! By that logic we didn't like what Saddam was doing and so us attacking Iraq was justified!! Works both ways you know!!

blowback

do you know what that term means?

I am not, specifically, a Ron Paul supporter. But I can appreciate that he has at least opened a history book. Things that we, the US govt, did many years ago are coming back to haunt us. What is sad is that we, the american people, would never have sanctioned the great majority of actions that were taken years ago. But, no one asked us. And only a select few prospered from those actions.

On blowback, one thing the middle easterners have the market cornered on is, memory. Their memories are many times longer than our nation's existence.

We need to educate ourselves. We need to read many differing viewpoints on what is happening around us.

It is frightening that we have become so closed minded. I recently heard a statement by a coworker that I hadn't heard about before. Rather than just accept it or fight it without knowing what I was talking about, I went on the computer(amazing machine!!). I found the facts, emailed him the links so he could enlighten himself. I got a polite reply that basically said, " I will just take my pablum from my brand of pundit". so rather than think for himself, he would rather be led by the nose. This is where our country is headed if we elect another bushy president--he is the divider, not a uniter. He is the teller of info, not the gatherer of wisdom. I don't give a tinker's damn about what body politic someone is as long as he is honest with himself and with me. Bush is neither.

I don't think he is saying its the fault of the US. I think Ron Paul is saying eactly what Geo. Washington said- avoid foreign entanglement. He is an isolationist.

PS I can't believe I am defending his POV. Every progressive in Texas has known he is nuts for years
