I removed the video because it was just more patronizing of perhaps the most disgusting human being in American Politics today. It contains nothing other than the standard convoluted financial doubletalk this, the ultimate Tea Bagger hides behind.
There is a serious media problem concerning Ron Paul. He lives down the road piece here in Dumbutt and I have been following his antics for most of 25 years now. I am not fooled by him as it seems so many many others are. Ron Paul for Dummies
Jon Stewart is one of many television pundits who fail to ask this lunatic the questions that clear up exactly who and what he is. Like what do you think of Medicare. Or Social Security? Or evolution? Or machine guns with free crank?
Ron Paul is a bigot, a racist, and above all a Christian Evangelical fundamentalist nutcake who makes Glenn Beck seem sane. Ron Paul decries the War on Religion.
With that said allow me to list the bad followed by the good. First a few direct Ron Paul quotes:
"I think it (evolution) is a theory and I do not accept it."
"Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions."
"I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city [Washington DC] are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
“We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people but black males."
"As it was written I would vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
Now let us briefly go over his policies.
