Ron Paul is Honest but Harsh and Possibly a Complete Idiot

Check out this very recent Ron Paul quote:

“Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat. That’s exactly what they’re doing now with Iran.”

Even if that were true, YOU DON'T SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Admitting that your party's previous administration was "gleeful" after 9/11? Are you insane? How in the world do you expect to gain traction and support among the Republican elite/faithful?

The problem with Ron Paul is that he strays too far. I have no problem with his wanting to cut all foreign aid or ridding of the Fed Reserve. Those are extreme positions, sure, but he has his right to express and support them.

But to claim an administration is happy over the death of 3000 civilians? Sure, 9/11 provided enough of a reason to invade Afghanistan and ultimately Iraq, but it doesn't mean anyone was gleeful over it. Therein lies the issue with Ron Paul's foolish assumption: he has no idea what Bush administration officials were feeling in their hearts. He can connect the dots and claim that 9/11 allowed us to invade two countries. We all know that. But to claim officials were gleeful? That is just idiotic.

Also makes one wonder how Paul can ever expect to crack his "ceiling"of 10-12% of support in polls. With undermining statements like the one he just made, Paul will ensure that he stays in Congress until he dies, living in Texas under Rick Perry. Oh well...
