Ron Paul interviewed on freeminds tv:

[thrashee]

He cannnot disban Congress so he would just be changing bi-partisan politics with tri-partisan politics. Such added complexity would not magically make things run smoother in Washington DC.

I think our current president has amply shown how much of a difference one man can make, regardless of Congress.

And I wouldn't get hung up over the "bi-partisan" issue; I think what people really want is a breath of fresh air. That can come from either party, if any of them had the guts to think outside the proverbial box.

Stating opposition to hawkism in the present political climate, represents no courage whatsoever. Ok, yeah, sure, he is running for the Republican ticket. However, be that as it may, I am sure he realizes the reality that he is better off standing out and alienating himself from Rep hawks, than he is toeing the conservative line, and being obscure.

I am not claiming that he states opinions he does not hold, for political gain. I am saying that he won't speak his mind about some things, because he is too frightened of the sensational response that would follow him speaking his mind about those things.

Opposing the Use of Military Force Against Iraq, by Rep. Ron Paul

it's always been his stance. read this time capsule. at the end of the speech from oct 10 2002 from the floor a rational person should likely 1) wonder why nobody was reporting mr.pauls wisdom at the time we needed it most and 2) feel that mr paul is the best choice for the next four years of decision making.

thanks

I am saying that he won't speak his mind about some things, because he is too frightened of the sensational response that would follow him speaking his mind about those things.

Again, this just does not follow, given what he is saying during the debates. If there's one likely thing you could deduce from Ron Paul's behavior, it's that he is not afraid to speak his mind, even if his words are unpopular.

So again, I ask why you draw such conclusions? Not only that, but you're now mind-reading and claiming to know both how Ron Paul feels about Israel and why he hasn't said anything about it.
