Politics, Programming and Possibilities
1 Mar
Connor Boyack wrote an interesting article based on Chuck Baldwin’s recent letter titled “Why do Latter-day Saints ignore Ron Paul?”
Connor’s take on it is basically this: we as Latter-day Saints have slowly gone to sleep, thinking all is well in Zion, when in fact our country is being ripped apart from the inside out. As a result of this complacency, we’ve sluffed our duty to support decent, honorable men or women in government. Not intentionally, of course, but by the way we’ve turned inward and stopped actively participating with the outside world, we’ve let bad men and women lead our nation.
I think that if we (Latter-day Saints) really knew how well our conservative views and moral standards jived with Ron Paul (just check his voting record or short bio—something no one else in Congress or the Senate can outshine), we’d happily be giving this man a shoulder to stand on. He’s the real thing.

Yeah, he’s the real thing alright. He’s a real politician who is soft on Islamo-Fascism. Ron Paul thinks that if we just surrendered to the Islamo-Fascists they’d go away, and leave us alone.
Yeah right! They hate us for our culture, for who we are, not because of some arcane foreign policy stances.
It’s our Britney Spears/Ann Nicole Smith/American Idol culture that they despise. Ya think that will just dissapear if we pull out of Iraq and stop supporting Israel?
Idiotic!
Here’s some sobering recent news for all the Ron Paul supporters out there:
Latest poll numbers — Rudy Giuliani at 53% and climbing; Ron Paul static at 1%.
Ya wanna support Ron Paul? Be my guest.
Eric Dondero, Fmr. Senior Aide
US Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX)
1997 - 2003

Islamo-Fascism is what we’ve made it to be. We’ve stuck our hand in the beehive and complain that we’re getting stung. This graph seems to support that.

Please… You’re merely repeating what many politicians and journalists have touted in the media. What a load of unsupported garbage.

Disappear, no. Decrease in rebellion and attacks? Of course.
Latest poll numbers — Rudy Giuliani at 53% and climbing; Ron Paul static at 1%.
So you’re arguing that popularity inherently indicates who is most worthy for office? Give me a break. All this shows is who the media has been using as their love child for consideration. The media blackout regarding Ron Paul is the sole reason that his numbers are so low. Were he given a chance in the media he’d easily surpass the adulterous Giuliani.
Here’s a question for you. What have the Europeans done to engender the wrath of Radical Islam?
If it’s not about culture, and all about foreign policy, then why are the Radical Muslims rampaging in the streets of Paris, Copenhagen and Amsterdam?
Why was Theo van Gogh murdered? Was it becuase of the Dutch support for Israel? Or, maybe cause the Dutch are “Imperialists in the Middle East,” invading all the Muslim countries?
No, Ron Paul would not have a chance in this Presidential race, if the “media just gave him a chance.”
I know the man like the back of my hand. I worked closely with him for over 12 years.
He’s got no pizzaz. He’s got no sense of humor. He’s got the personality of a rock.
He was once asked in a Libertarian magazine what his favorite music was. You know his answer. Honest to God, he responded, “Well, I like what people call Elevator music.”
Ron Paul, nice guy that he is sometimes, is just plain too boring to be President of the United States.
Oh Ron, he just just wants, oh you know, a radical liberty loving social revolution in order to totally overhaul and downsize government and to rip out the Federal Reserve monetary system, amongst other things. Yeah what a boring guy, I mean you can see from the video links above he’s really not passionate about what he believes. I mean all this excited waving his hands back and forth, clearly he must be faking all of it. You know what you’re right, liberty ideas just aren’t sexy. It’s just too bad. I mean what we really need is Hillary in a bathing suit, very exciting, racy even. I mean I’d elect that in a second; wouldn’t you? So I can turn my Doctors office visit into a bread line, woohoo exciting! Sorry I lost my train of thought… now back to watching Roadrunner. durrrr TV, me likie the TV, entertainment good, boring bad, durrr. God you tards it’s called freedom! And I don’t care if comes around to the background score of elevator music, so long as it comes around. A strong president might as well be a boring president too. Hell, I don’t even want to know government exists in my life; that’s how boring I want to make it.
Oh and by the way Ron isn’t boring at all. I even hear that he’s the real father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby! shhhhh…
Eric Dondero, gee, haven’t seen that name posting comments on dozens of Ron Paul articles in the last few days. At least it’s not the same copy and paste smear/Giuliani promotional blurb.
Thanks for pointing that out Alex. I noticed one other place Eric copied and pasted this schpeel but I wasn’t sure if he did it more than once. Well, now I guess so. I’m also guessing he won’t be back to defend himself… he might have forgot upon which websites he left all those copy and paste postings he made.
If Ron Paul were president in the 1970’s he wouldn’t have aided the CIA’s best buddy Osama Bin Laden with weapons to fight the Soviets. He also wouldn’t have put Saddam in power to fight the Iranians (Rumsfeld picture with Saddam quite dispicable) in the late 1970’s. Interventionalism is claiming to solve a problem it created. Read Buchanan’s book “Republic not an Empire”. Perhaps if we spent less time building military bases in Saudi Arabia and more time securing the border we’d be much safer. Guiliani pro gun control, Romney’s government healthcare in Mass., both support Patriot Act, these guys love Big Brother and only do things to get votes, they are not prinicipled or conservative really at all.
“If it’s not about culture, and all about foreign policy, then why are the Radical Muslims rampaging in the streets of Paris, Copenhagen and Amsterdam?”
Because of the socialist welfare state. Why do you think they live there? Eric, it’s the same thing your neo-con buddys are trying to create in Iraq…except they call it spreading democracy.
Hey Eric, if the individual European is too cowardly to fight back against aggressive immigrants, then that is their own problem. Rest assured, when minorities have rioted in the U.S., no one mentions the thousands of Americans who bravely defended themselves and their property against angry groups. The media doesn’t like to make hero’s out of people who are not victims. If they tried to pull things like that in Dearborn MI the people their wouldn’t take it lying down, especially if it spilled over into their own neighborhoods.
Hey what are the reasons we intervene for if it doesnt benefit us or if we wait till its too late to intervene then lose tons of money and soldiers if we’re gonna intervene then we have to do fast and before they can grow stronger so we dont have to worry about it later on and we can’t do a half assed job either
Regarding Mr. Dondero, I asked around about him and he appears to be a disgruntled former employee (driver?) of Ron Paul’s. More info here.
Hey, Eric,
I’ll bet you feel pretty stupid now, after having brought up Giuliani’s numbers like that, as if he had a much better shot than Ron Paul? Have you also noticed that Giuliani’s campaign was very much in debt at the end, with his top people going unpaid for at least a month.
Who cares if Ron Paul doesn’t have as much of a personality or is “boring”? Would you rather have someone interesting like Bill Clinton, who messes around with interns in the White House.
Let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth. He has voted consistently, and said and done the same things consistently, including getting the Fed up against the ropes on all of THEIR indiscretions.
