Ron Paul Implodes

This is just too much. Did Ron Paul say that we invited 9-11 because of our involvement in the middle east on tonight’s presidential debate?
What a complete moron.
UPDATE: Ace Of Spades HQ has a pithy reaction to Ron Paul’s statement, which is now posted on Fox News:
“They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We’ve been in the Middle East — I think (Ronald) Reagan was right. We don’t understand the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics. Right now, we’re building an embassy in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican. We’re building 14 permanent bases. What would we say here if China was doing this in our country or in the Gulf of Mexico? We would be objecting,”
Ron Paul needs to withdraw. Now.

you would be the complete moron. Of course we did because we are imperialists. Ron only wants to revive our Constitutional roots.
Think about what he said. If you really listen it makes complete sense. Maybe we did cause this.
Ron Paul was the only person up there that understands, and knows about history and the way it repeats itself. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; Rudy is a headline grabber. He did it after 9/11, and he did it again tonight. Nothing he said had any substance; had any meaning to it. It’s just said that he is propping up the dead to get votes.
It is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. In the midst of spending American lives and treasure defending muslims in Bosnia, islamic radicals carried out terrorist attacks against us. In the midst of trying to restore peace to Lebanon, a marine barracks were bombed.
We’ve been under attack from islamic radicals well before our involvement in Iraq. If cowering in fear that islamic radicals might not like what we’re doing is a valid means of defending the country, why in the heck were we attacked when we not only weren’t doing anything to piss them off, but actually working to defend them?
The only way to prevent islamic radicals from attacking us is for all of us to convert to islam and live under Sharia law, and fall under the authority of a restored Caliphate. That’s what they tell us the conditions for peace are.
Shall we do that?
A-W-E-S-O-M O says Ron Paul was auditioning for a role in a new Adam Sandler movie where Sandler enlists in the Army to escape from a fiancee that he does not want to marry.
Greg, THANK YOU for saying what needs to be said!!!
Ron Paul was right.

FACT! Deal with the truth. Don’t be a Faux News spewin brown shirt. You CAN handle the truth. It was hard for me at 1st, but I was able to break the chains of the neo-conservative brainwashing and start thinking for myself, you can too. The leaders of the neo-conservative movement are secretly in league with the Clinton’s and leaders of the neo-liberal movement to institute a 1 world communist government. Why else do you think Bush wants Amnesty for illegals? You heard Bushes dad say it on September 11, 1991 (no, that’s not a coincidence). It is called the NEW WORLD ORDER, and unless “We the People” face the truth, we are going to lose our nation to the North American Union.
WAKE UP AMERICA! We have FEMA Concentration Camps RIGHT HERE in our own country, complete with furnaces, and I don’t think they are for “heating”.

I know it’s hard, I know it hurts to see that this is what we have become. Get mad! Get your guns, and GET READY TO DEFEND YOUR NATION AGAINST THE TYRANNY WITHIN!
You’re missing the line about the mysterious black helicopters coming from the United Nations. Care to revise your comments so you can comprehensively argue your point?
Why do I think that all of those supporting Ron Paul in this thread have the same IP Address? Also, why do I think that this individual has a tin-foil watch-cap on as well?
Ron Paul, if he had any chance at becoming even a VP candidate, blew it last night. Rudy G. delivered a major smack-down.
I didn’t watch the debate, but Batson provides an interesting point. Rudy Giuliani should almost thank Ron Paul for being there. Without the opportunity for that smackdown, Rudy would have had to deal with (and be remembered for) the abortion issue that much more.
By the way, shouldn’t our troll commentator(s) have mentioned something about a Mossad plot somewhere? LOL
For thorough analysis of all the candidates in the Republican debate, visit The Virginian Federalist. Tell us what you thought of Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani (I judged them both to be winners last night), as well as all the others.
I did not see the debate but did Jim Gilmore do THAT bad as no one is commenting on him??? As was proven with the election of Jim Webb, it is no longer important that you have good ideas or are even a good leader, all that matters is knowing the media and being savvy enough to woo them.
Kelldor: First off, it was 11 September 1990 NOT 1991. Second, coincidence??? No, the Islamists who were flying the planes chose that date for a reason.
I would write more but I have found out that the NSA (No Such Agency) is monitoring this very website :O
I found some commentary on Gilmore and the others here:

Rudy should be ashamed of himself for going after Ron Paul and basically questioning his patriotism for questioning US foreign policy. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that our policies sure as heck didn’t help prevent 9-11… Paul’s basic message is that we should take care of America first and not interfere in the politics of the rest of the world unless we are forced to do so.
I am not a Ron Paul backer, but he certainly moved up my list after the debate. As for Rudy, he was never on my list, but this bullying of a United States Congressman who holds different views on such a key issue as foreign policy should help other voters see that he should not, under any circumstances, be president of this nation.
Here is some humorous commentary on Ron Paul:
http://www.imao.us/archives/007782.html
Let’s see — what was our policy previous to 9-11? Oh yeah, the Clinton response: DO NOTHING! Ron Paul’s isolationism is not going to keep the terrorists from attacking us again. Giuliani gets this, Paul does not.
Ron Paul is correct about the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 Commission essentially reached the same conclusion. In fact, the majority of Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that a century of American intervention and exploitation in Middle Eastern affairs has caught up with us. That’s not to say 3,000 innocent Americans should have been killed on Sept. 11. It’s simply an explanation of why it happened. And to ignore that fact is to continue to imperil this great nation, as the Bush administration has done with its war on Iraq.
How have we exploited those poor Middle Easterners? It wasn’t their poor who attacked us! Their terrorists have been attacking Americans for several decades. Do you think putting our heads in the sand will keep them from attacking us and our allies? Heck, I can see how these dopey leftists will blame us for antagonizing those poor Islamofascists by becoming energy independent!
Somehow these leftards seem to forget that for a long time, Saddam harbored and funded terrorists who killed Americans and our allies. Our liberation of Iraq imperils us just as much as our liberation of Germany did.
Weakness and isolationism helped the fascists seize and expand their power in the 1930s, and it will happen again unless we put a stop to it now. The Baathists called themselves an Arab emulation of 1930s European fascism, with predicatable results.
Typical of the paleocons and the “intellectual” descendants of the communists: Not learning from the mistakes of history. Well, in today’s case, being wilfully ignorant. (Either that or openly sympathetic to our enemies, which shouldn;t surprise any of us.)
Please allow me to suggest a website for Ron Paul supporters. It’s a fundraising search engine where the owner contributes 50% of his site’s monthly earnings to help elect Ron Paul the next President of the United States in 2008.
