(15,438 posts)And that he pretends he never had when it's public knowledge? Oh, and that Ron Paul is a racist, too, and you support him, too, that can only mean, well, birds of a feather . . .
You know GG splices President Obama's speeches when he blogs to make it appear differently than it is, that is, putting a negative light on President Obama, don't you?
And you know he lacks the same sharp focus he's got like a lazer-beam on Obama on Paul's snake oil sales pitch when Paul's been proven to be a racist, a bigot, anti-civil rights, and anti-woman, just as long as he's rumored to be anti-war? Because is Ron "Golum" Paul really so anti-war just because he tells you he is? Wouldn't that reflect in his congressional votes that matter?
By the way, the only US Congressional Representative to vote against the Afghan war was Barbara Lee. PAUL VOTED FOR IT. I guess part of Paul's appeal for the so-called left must be his steadfast commitment to making symbolic moral stands that don't mean anything, but always voting with the GOP when needed.
And a little eye-opening tidbit for you . . . guess who's bill is this:
"The President of the United States is authorized to place a money bounty, drawn in his discretion from the $40,000,000,000 appropriated on September 14, 2001, in the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Re-covery from and Response to Terrorists Attacks on the United States or from private sources, for the capture, alive or dead, of Osama bin Laden or any other al Qaeda conspirator responsible for the act of air piracy upon the United States on September 11, 2001, under the authority of any letter of marque or reprisal issued under this Act."
Give up? Ron Paul. 2001. The most conservative rep since 1937, AND a bounty hunter, AND your idol whom you staunchly support on a Democratic site. Un-freaking-believable.
Should President Obama tell you he's against war, too, will you give him the same support you so lavishly give Conservative Republican Ron Paul and his defenders? Or will you continuously and unfairly hold DEMOCRATIC President Obama to a higher standard on DEMOCRATIC Underground?
And no, Greenwald isn't a Republican. He's worst! He' s a Libertarian and they should receive NO SUPPORT from members of DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND members because they are against everything Democrats stand for.
So again, why are you supporting a Republican (or worse than one) on Democratic Underground?
