Little things like blaming America for 9/11, advocating a weak defense policy, standing up for Iran, and criticizing Israel are all things that most Republicans could never stomach.
I'll agree with you on one thing. Ron Paul has about zero chance to get elected prez, let alone get nominated by the Republican party, which is no suprise considering the ignorance of the average american. Look at where we are as a country and tell me with a straight face that the average american voter has ever made wise choices when it comes to voting. I should add that I dont really believe voting is going to change anything anyway, even if Ron Paul were elected prez, but since we're playing the game, I might as well play along for the sake of argument.
Kudos to you for parroting the talking points of the GOP as well, which are based entirely on bullshit, by the way. You are either ignorant of the facts, or purposely being deceitful on all of your points stated above.
I'll go down the list for you, incase you are just ignorant of the facts, due to no fault of your own.
* Ron Paul blames america for 9/11
No, he blames the foreign policy of policing the world and getting involved in every skirmish that just about every other country on the planet knows is none of their business. This is far different than "blaming america" which implies that he blames you and I for it. Now if you believe that we are are nothing more than a bunch of mindless robots, or bees in a collective hive, then I guess you can make the argument that he blames "america" for 9/11, but I dont see myself as part of that hive mentality. I have never thought for even a split second that Ron Paul blames ME for what happened. I am an individual, with thoughts of my own and dont need some douchebag politician to tell me otherwise, regardless of his/her political leanings. Once you start thinking of yourself that as part of the hive, you start taking a whole bunch of other peoples bad ideas upon your shoulders, even though you had nothing to do with carrying out those bad ideas yourself. Bad move, friend.
* Ron Paul advocates a weak defense policy.
Wrong again. What he advocates is a strong defensive policy, which is far different than going around the world throwing your weight around telling everyone how to live. If you have strong defenses, there is little to worry about. If you spread your military all over the planet, there is no way to protect your own country. Imagine you lived in a bad neighborhood, full of crack heads and psychopaths all around you. Seems to me, what you are advocating is leaving your house unattended with your kids home alone, while you go running around the neighborhood going door to door bringing justice down on each and every bad seed you can find like a vigilante. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it? But thats exactly what the US military is doing on a giant scale.
*Ron Paul criticizes Israel
Bullshit. He is actually the only one who defends Israel's right to defend themselves without asking "us" for permission to do so. In 1981 Ron Paul was one of only four congressmen to vote in Israel's favor allowing them to bomb a nuclear reactor in Iraq. Four guys out of 535 voted for Israels right to protect themselves. Seems to me its the other 531 who are "anti-Israel", but you dont bring that fact up in your talking points, do ya?
After typing this, I almost feel stupid wasting my time, because after doing so, its glaringly obvious you are just being a dick, spreading disinformation about a guy that scares you because he wants to legalize weed and take your welfare check away from you.
Shame on me.
