Why Ron Paul is a Bad Choice
To be upfront, I have no horse in the race. In my opinion they are all lacking what is needed to lead our country and I actually believe that a “Churchill” will appear in the next several months. Stop swallowing the nonsense from the media and leaders of both parties that someone must be chosen now. I will let others articulate the concerns many voters have regarding his views on Foreign Policy. I believe Ron Paul’s major disqualification is alarming, obvious and has been consistent for several decades. Please let my comments soak in a few days before dismissing.
Ron Paul doesn’t want to be President; he wants to be a nuisance. He's like a ground hog that pops up occasionally for attention. His core desire is to prove that he's the most conservative member of Congress and point out the flaws of everyone else. The very DNA of this man is to ridicule and denigrate members of the Republican Party. This hatred goes back three decades and is driving another “attempt" at the White House instead of a desire to be the Commander in Chief of the United States. It's as if Ron Paul is the perennial curmudgeon at the toll bridge and woe to all who don't meet his standards. His vicious attacks on fellow candidates over the last several weeks have brought out his true personality.
What has the most Constitutional conservative member of Congress been doing the last three years to alert the country to the purposeful destruction of Capitalism, Individual Freedom and American Sovereignty (Insert Fundamental Transformation if still blind). Did he rise on the House floor week after week to specifically articulate what Obama did, the results of those actions and more importantly, the Marxist thinking behind it? Let’s take it up a notch. Has he called for Obama's impeachment? Did he not see enough significant red flags since January 08 to speak out like our Founding Fathers did against King George? The answer to all the above is no. The closet he came was stating that “assassinating" al Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen may be an impeachable offense. What a coincidence that all his Republican primary opponents felt exactly the opposite.
One more example of Ron Paul not wanting to be President. Remember the Trump “debate" that never took place. Ron Paul declined the invite, calling it “beneath the office of the presidency.” I'll tell you what's beneath the office--the current occupier of the Presidency. Ron Paul could have been in front of millions of voters unfamiliar with him and his views and he dismissed it. Ask yourself why.
Our goal is to nominate the person who will become the best President and we are starving for a true conservative with wisdom to lead us. Don’t let your hunger cloud your judgment. At least give it some more time and ask yourself why Ron Paul’s vicious attacks are always against Republicans and not Obama. Are you confusing someone who is a reliable consistent conservative vote in Congress with the person who has the right skill set for President of the United States? There is a huge difference between the shallow and deep ends of the pool.
