Ron Paul

Texas Congressman and former presidential candidate Ron Paul was a guest of Shuster’s last week and wouldn’t take his bait. But, unlike most Republicans, he wasn’t afraid to criticize Limbaugh. (video below)

Further, he said he would debate him.

“I was disappointed with Rush because he is a good conservative, yet he hardly said hardly boo against George Bush,” Paul said. “He supported all that big spending. Did he complain about George Bush? Did he complain about all those wars that were going on that caused us so much trouble?

“That’s the kind of issues that I want to talk about. And I will be quite willing to challenge Rush Limbaugh on those issues. But just to pick out a word or two and say, he is wrong, I don’t think that solves any problems.”

Paul’s comments didn’t satisfy Shuster. The MSNBC host asked him at least four times to say Rush was wrong. He wouldn’t. But he came closer to that rail than most.

The GOP

Paul said Republicans shouldn’t be “terrified” of Limbaugh, but said the real problem is internal.

“We talk about personal liberties and balanced budgets. The Republican Party lost credibility because they didn’t do any of that,” he said.

“It violated the privacy of individuals, it flaunted the spending and ran up these huge deficits. Got us into wars that are not winnable. And those are the real issues.”
