Ron Pauls rants and lies

FactCheck.org: Wrong Paul

• Paul claims that a secret conspiracy composed of the Security and Prosperity Partnership and a cabal of foreign companies is behind plans to build a NAFTA Superhighway as the first step toward creating a North American Union. But the NAFTA Superhighway that Paul describes is a myth, and the groups supposedly behind the plans are neither secret nor nefarious.

• Paul says that the U.S. spends $1 trillion per year to maintain a foreign empire and suggests that we could save that amount by cutting foreign spending. Paul gets that figure by including a lot of domestic programs that he isn't planning to cut, like the U.S. Border Patrol and interest payments on the debt.

• Paul has run television ads touting an endorsement from Ronald Reagan, but he fails to mention that, in 1988, Paul wanted "to totally disassociate" himself from the Reagan administration.

Every single one of these are debunked with sources at the link above.

Ron Paul needs to realize he has less then 0% chance of getting the republican nomination. Doesn't really matter what he says or thinks, no one gives a shit.

We all have (including each party) our cross to bear. The Republican Party has Ron Paul and the Democratic Party has Cleveland's own Dennis Kucincich.

Though each does have their small (as in tiny) following they really amount to little. Therefore in the words of Hitman:

Ron Paul needs to realize he has less then 0% chance of getting the republican nomination. Doesn't really matter what he says or thinks, no one gives a shit.

Much as the same holds true for Dennis.

very true, but he has run as a libertarian previously so he is just a fruitcake all around

After endorsing Reagan for president in 1976 and again in 1980, Paul became disenchanted, leaving the Republican party in 1987. Sometime between 1988 (during Paul's run for the presidency on the Libertarian Party ticket) and 1996 (when Paul, running as a Republican once more, successfully ousted an incumbent House member in a GOP primary), Paul once again embraced Reagan's legacy.
