Why I Support Ron Paul

I want to get some more people involved in the politics blog, so I’m introducing a new series called “Why I Support …” in it I’ll post others opinions on why they support their particular candidate.
Since I only have my opinion, I’m opening this up to anyone who wants to post their reasons for supporting a particular candidate. If you have an article you would like to see featured here (or if you want to write one) please e-mail me ( lordkat at gmail.com), and we’ll talk about getting your content up here. Remember, we’re looking for reasons to support a candidate, not articles bashing other candidates.
Today’s “Why I Support” comes from Lawrence over at Daily Paul:
“I wake up today as a 50-year-old husband and father of three, and I wonder where that America has gone. I see a President who called the U.S. Constitution “just a goddamned piece of paper.” He replaced a President who blatantly lied to the American public. Admittedly the lie was about something that was none of the Public’s business. However, when a country is led by a liar, it lowers that country’s level of discourse and makes lying seem acceptable. It is not. Are these the best leaders this Country can produce? I see that the prior President’s wife running for President with the attitude that because her husband was elected, she too deserves to be President. Says who? Do Americans really believe she will act in our best interest given all the money she has received from the military industrial complex? I see the U.S. involved in an aggressive undeclared war against a country that did not represent a threat to us in any way. Deliberate lies were told to get this war started. To date the outcome of this war is that between 100,000 and 1.0 million innocent people have died. These figures are between 30 and 300 times the number of people killed in 911. Do two wrongs make a right? Furthermore, the majority of the 911 hijackers were Saudis. Not Iraqis. We are allies with Saudi Arabia and yet Saudi Arabia is far from being a democracy. Yet we went to war to create a democracy in Iraq and set an example for the Middle East. The hypocrisy is staggering. The mistakes that were made are criminal. Why anyone believes one thing that is said by the people who lied us into this war is a mystery to me. We would be greeted as liberators. No. Oil revenues will pay the cost. No. A secular democracy will emerge and be an inspiration for other countries. No. The list of misjudgments goes on an on. If they were a baseball team one would be forced to wonder can anyone here play this game?”

Gee - I don’t see one word about why the writer supports Ron Paul. I only see a lot of vitriole and Bush-hating. The “quote” about the constitution being just a piece of paper - it’s a rumor posted with unnamed sources on the leftie website Capitol Hill Blue (linked). They have a featured article today about Huckabee titled “Turds always rise to the surface.” Good source.
And I don’t give a damn whether the highjackers were Saudis, Iraqis, or from Ann Arbor, Michigan. They were radical Islamic terrorists that have sworn to destroy Israel and the Western world. We need to search every crack and crevice and eradicate them like the cockroaches they are.
Where does Ron Paul stand on that? Oh that’s right - he wants to just crawl back into our little isolationist world and wait for the next attack. Has anyone noticed that since 9/11 there have been NO terrorist attacks on America? That would be zip, nadah, none, zero. I wonder why? Could it possibly be that we are dealing with these vermin from a position of strength for a change? Could we possibly be witnessing a miracle? Could Bush’s administration possibly be doing something right? Nah - let’s not give him any credit on that one - I think it must be Nancy Pelosi keeping all those Islamic terrorists at bay.

I support Dr Paul because there’s no difference between R’s and D’s anymore. There is only one party: the party of Greed.
Normally the label `conservative christian’ would send me running, and I don’t agree with his stand on abortion. But I do agree with his stand on the constitution and restoring it.
Say no to the kleptocracy - vote for Ron Paul.
Nice job, LordKaT
