Ron Paul is a bitter RINO. He has been whining that the GOP won't give him any money. With DemoLib philosophies, is it any wonder? The NY GOP may be desperate enough that they need to hang their hats on Mayor Bloomberg. Texas is not that hard up.

Hmmmmmmm.......I've read his position on the major issues and he reads like a typical GOPer. Is he a whiner because he disagrees with you on the war, or because he really does whine?

Starting with the second paragraph he starts lying. He said: The information Congress was given prior to the war was false. Which is the same information that every intelligence agency in the world had and every country believed.

Nope. The data was vague. Different countries chose to interpret the data differently. Bush extrapolated from the data the points that supported his contention that we should invade Iraq. That's the data that was presented to Congress. If not false, certainly very misleading.

Stupid statement designed to sound critical of the executive branch and deflect criticism from himself.

What criticism?

There were no weapons of mass destruction; Falsehood on the face.

Huh? Even Bush admits there were no WMDs.

Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were enemies and did not conspire against the United States Why were there Al Quaida training camps in Iraq then?

Once again, there was one training camp. It was in the Kurdish portion of Iraq over which Saddam had no control. It was the Kurds whom invited OBL into Iraq, not Saddam.

we were not welcomed by cheering Iraqi crowds as we were told What planet is he on? Planet LiberalBiasedPress?

The people may have been glad we toppled Saddam but then they made it very clear they wanted us to go.

Spin with a sound of criticism, but mostly false. and Iraqi oil has not paid any of the bills. Hello, did we ever say we were charging them to liberate them?

In fact, yes. That's how Bush sold it to Congress.......Iraqi oil would pick up some of the costs.

Another spun statement designed to dovetail into the charge that we are only in there for their oil.

We are.......oil and potential sites for military bases. At this point, only a naive child would think otherwise.

Congress failed to declare war, but instead passed a wishy-washy resolution citing UN resolutions as justification Wah, I am crying with him that he did not get to cut the ribbon on the liberation force. fact we’re now told ... the Iraqis are better off First true thing he said, but it had to be edited to make it not sound like an attack on the administration. In other words, one must march lock-step with the consensus or be ostracized. Another quote designed to get picked up by the FMSM.

Why do you have such a problem with the truth? The enemy is not the FMSM.

I don't have time to critique the rest. I appears that he is running for Mr. Popularity with the Biased Liberal Press. He will have a tough time unseating McCain. Look for glowing reports of him in newspapers and TV news in the future. At election time, the same biased media will likely list him as a likely candidate for some higher office. He should at least get listed as a Republican rising star. He will probably be making the rounds on Larry King, Good Morning America, Air America, Chris Matthews and the rest of the list of biased media outlets.

It takes a very smart Republican to stand up to the biased media. Any idiotic Republican can win the praise of the biased media by criticizing their own party. Bob Packwood was a leader, independent thinker, maverick, etc until Clinton was elected. When they did not need his anti-life vote Packwood became a pariah. The biased media sang anti-life Christine Todd Whitman's praises until she was appointed to President Bush's cabinet...


Its too bad you see it as the GOP vs the "biased media". It should be about what's best for America but that's all changed. Now, its what's best for the GOP, then America.

I'll leave you with a popular adage........where there's smoke there's usually fire. And there is a hell of lot of smoke pouring from RNC's headquarters. How long do you think you can keep blaming everything on the media? Crass memos; crass and corrupted leaders; a phony and costly war; out of control pork spending; a weak economy; spiraling oil and gas prices; etc. The media is not responsible for these messes.

With DemoLib philosophies, is it any wonder?

It would seem more Libertarian then "DemoLib".
