The trouble with Ron Paul…

There’s many things NOT to like about Dr Paul. his annoying voice, his whining, his erratic speech, his blaming of US for everything wrong in the world etc. But as was pointed out in comments on my questions to Paul supporters he’s got a few things right. Perhaps Paul supporters would be better candidates than Paul himself…just sayin.

Now lets look at some of Ron Paul’s problem areas. Besides the lack of leadership that is abundantly clear (Except for those Paul supporters who worship without question) is his belief that people like Bradly Manning are Hero’s rather than traitors.

Now understand that Ron Paul would like us to go back to the early 1800’s in America, someone like Manning would be tried and hung publicly for treason. Paul now calls this guy a hero. Now I’ll practice a little bit of my own philosophy and say that we can’t measure how many Americans have been killed or captured because of what Bradly Manning put out in public, but I do know that we haven’t had so many CIA agents captured in one year as we have since Manning’s actions…. Now think about this, Ron Paul wants to abolish the CIA too. So is it any wonder that Paul is a Manning Supporter?

Then lets take a look at removing the AC from soldiers in Afghanistan to save money..

Yeah lets take away the ability of R&R after battle in a SEMI comfortable environment to save money… Paul is a strict constitutionalist that’s fine but when our soldiers were sent in to Afghanistan he supported it. PERIOD. Now to say bring them home by making them uncomfortable WTF? Do you honestly think our soldiers would say “Oh that’s it, no AC I’m going home!” that’s not exactly the soldiers mindset. Out of touch much?

There’s also some serious problems regarding newsletters, statements and other such Paulisms that will sink him like a rock in a swimming pool once he gets up a bit in the polls. Now I know the Paul faithful seem to think that Ron Paul’s explanation of those statements and letters are good enough. I’m telling you that in the general election Paul get MOPPED by Obama. Because Paul is left of Obama on foreign policy, and Right of Grover Norquist on economic policy.

The best thing that can happen to the GOP right now would be for Paul, Bachmann, Huntsman and Santorum to step out. Right now the negativity has become helpful to Obama and Paul has become so negative in his campaign that he’s now a pariah… See ya Ron in the loony bin.
