What Is Ron Paul Talking About?

[Ognir]

Quote:Consider this from a speech recently delivered on floor of the House of Representatives.

It's a bad idea.

There's no need for it.

There's great danger in doing it.

America is against it, and Congress should be.

The United Nations is against it.

The Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, and the Pakistanis are against it.

The whole world is against it.

Our allies are against it.

Our enemies are against it.

The Arabs are against it.

The Europeans are against it.

The Muslims are against it.

We don't need to do this.

The threat is overblown.

The plan is an hysterical reaction to a problem that does not yet exist.

Hysteria is never a good basis for foreign policy.

Don't we ever learn?

Have we already forgotten Iraq?

The plan defies common sense.

If it's carried out, the Middle East, and possibly the world, will explode.

Oil will soar to over $100 a barrel, and gasoline will be over $5 a gallon.

Despite what some think, it won't serve the interests of Israel.

Besides – it's illegal.

It's unconstitutional.

And you have no moral authority to do it.

We don't need it.

We don't want it.

So, Mr. President, don't do it.

<span style="color:#000099">Thank you for posting this Ognir.

Several years ago, a friend of mine knew one of the assistants in Ron Paul's Washington D.C. office.

She had extensive working experience on the "Hill".

She commented that, <span style="color:#000099">except for Ron Paul, in her personal working experience as a "staffer", <span style="color:#000099">all the rest of the Senators and Representatives were "liars, thieves, and cheap whores".

This lady had real integrity in both her personal and professional life. Though she was considered highly competent professionally, she refused all job offers from other Senators and Representatives.

She further stated that it was a "real pleasure" to work for Paul.

Notice how The Nation says that Paul is "perhaps" worth applauding. But whatever, this is good I'm glad he's getting coverage. Espescially so early in the campaign. It's a long way 'til November '08 & people are already taking notice.
