Rush Limbaugh is nutty and has selective amnesia. He basically ignores the facts of history which clearly show the Bush administration attacked Iraq and Afghanistan with fabricated and contrived intelligence. He does NOT want to be responsible in foreign policy. He is making fun of and bad-mouthing Ron Paul for wanting to be responsible and verify that intelligence is valid prior to attacking. Where is the WMD that Iraq suposedly had Rush? Where are all the elaborate tunnel systems replete with state of the art computer systems in the mountains of Tora Bora Rush? They were all fabricated to justify invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. They never existed Rush. That is not only illegal, it is criminal. So Rush is advocating a type of foreign policy that violates not only national and international law, it also violates common sense.
The Truth About Ron Paul: Delusional, Power-Hungry and Dangerous
Interviewed on Neal Cavuto’s Fox News show this afternoon, GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul claimed that “a third of the crowd was with me last night [at the debate] and more than a third of the country is with my ideas.”
Really?
So a third of the country agrees with:
• A man who claims that bloodthirsty Islamist terrorists are morally equivalent to Americans?
• A man who vocally encourages the despicable 9/11 Truther movement?
• A man who embraces virulent anti-semites and is inspired by those who despise Jews?
• A man whose foreign policy prescriptions are so “far left” that they are outright dangerous?
• A man whose strongest supporters vilify Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ed Meese, Sarah Palin, etc.?

The Truth About Ron Paul: Delusional, Power-Hungry and Dangerous
• A man who despises Israel, a beacon of freedom in an otherwise barbaric Middle East?
• A man so power-hungry that he refuses to rule out a third-party run, which would very likely help reelect Barack Obama?
Jeffrey Lord offers the quintessential summary of Ron Paul for conservatives:
The Ron Paul campaign is really about re-educating America to what can only be called Neoliberalism. Which, based on the evidence and writings of its supporters, appears to be a thin gruel of free markets and non-interventionism seasoned heavily with anti-Semitism, morally obtuse Neo-Confederates, and an outspoken contempt for both conservatism and conservative leaders past and present.
Our biggest problem seems to be that the GOP wants a "good old boy" They don't care if he is conservative or not, because Gingrich is certainly not, nor Romney nor Perry! And they don't mind pushing any of these 3! If Bachman or other strong republican can't come to the fore, it leaves us only with Ron Paul!! I will not vote for any of the the "BIG 3 Good old boys"!!! I believe the GOP needs a good housecleaning!!
I'm with ya on that, Eddie; you make more sense than any other comments here. Plus the fact that RP indicated he'll go independently/3rd Party that will INSURE an Obama 2d term, so he's just dissolving his own chances for a GOP nomination AND he's ruining the Republican Party cohesiveness by his very statement to INSURE Obama gets his 2d term and that makes RP a TRAITOR to us all!!! WHY are these people here, for RP, even LISTENING to this inGRATE?!!! He really IS showing he's POWER hungry, just like the Narcissist-In-Chief and WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT such a candidate NOR a President like that!! I cannot understand the mentality of people who go along with the status-quo so that they will be among the larger ill-informed followers for bragging rights! RP is NOTHING to be bragged about, followed, nor supported, as he has indicated on his debates and his campaign trails and another neo-Libertarian not to be trusted! I CANNOT and WILL NOT support or vote for such a person saying he'll consider being on another ticket JUST to get himself on the ballot!!! That is just SUICIDE for this country and that's EXACTLY what this moron is doing & exactly what the Obamanites WANT! DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, people still listen to the MSM and their handlers, all of whom fear a Ron Paul Presidency. Has anyone ever thought that he possibly has information that never reaches us? Watch some of Dr. Paul's YouTube videos that explain his position on the various issues (videos necessary since he is blacked out by the MSM). He is NOT anti-semitic. That is nothing but lies. He is against the "strings" that go with aid to Israel (and all foreign aid), which makes Israel weak, subservient, and subject to the control of our government.
Dr. Paul is against the ongoing, illegal, perpetual wars that enrich the A-kissers of the Military Industrial Complex at the cost of thousands of troop lives, tens of thousands of maimed troops and tens of thousands of civilian deaths. Why? To protect oil pipelines? To guard the CIA's bumper heroin crop? We won WWII in four years, so how can anyone believe these wars are legitimate or even supposed to be won? Dr. Ron Paul is the only GOP candidate who cares about you and me, our Republic, our Constitution and the Rule of Law.

ZZZzzz… Really? LOL! How's that drug war working out? Seems to be ramping up with the help of the the gun running feds.
All the no votes were against unconstitutional laws on the federal level and need to be put on a state level. The federal government is only supposed to provide for a strong defense and a few other things, not run our entire life.
Same sex marriage? Again it should be on a state level if at all, marriage should be up to the church not the state, why should I have to get a license to get married? You can't legislate morality.
Where do you get he's anti-Semite? He wants to end all foreign aid, not just Israel. If anything he is more for Israel in the fact he wants us out of their business and let them run their country.
9/11 truther, really? He only said what the CIA said about blow back from our occupying and killing foreigners without a declaration of war. We've killed a lot more people than the blood thirsty terrorists.
Your attempt to demean him is poor at best.
"Paul has expressed his desire to eliminate: welfare, the income tax, farm subsidies, paper currency, public schools, the 14th amendment, the War on Drugs, Social Security, NATO, the Federal Reserve, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the Food and Drug Administration, the FBI, the CIA, FEMA, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the departments of education, energy, commerce, housing and urban development, health and human services, and homeland security."

Sounds like a "good start" to me …
Congrats on your consistency, then. Most "conservatives" want to keep–and even strengthen, when they get scared by dark-skinned folks–Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA, and most conservative farmers refuse to acknowledge that farm subsidies are welfare. And most of the rest of us want to be sure that our food and drugs are safe.
"Good start" to you, Goldbug? You want Homeland Security dissolved and your Social Security checks, you know…your "Social Security" retirement money that you paid into with years of working (if you did) so that you won't have to be on Obama's "stimulus" plans, deleted and not mailed to you when you get eligible for by age 65? Oh, so you don't want that extra Social Security money, then? And so how will people with school-aged children on minimum income be able to afford their kids schooling if RP "eliminates" public schools? I can see the rest of these dissolved, but social security & public schools have been around for decades past and at least we, who deserve our retirement years, which I am approaching and will be eligible for, are counting on as supplemental income with other retirement (like my military retirement….which, with Obama's regime seem to want to take some of that away from me after I served 25 yrs of my life for this country!). So tell me, "GoldBug" (sounds like a wealthy Cockroach to me!), where will YOU be at retirement age (if not yet there) and how will YOU pay for helping the underpriviaged children';s schooling? Home schooled kids do better from getting schooled by parents at home, but they still have to follow guidelines set by the "past" public/gov't schools standards….plus how many parents/single moms/Dads can do that if they have to work and not earn Social Security for their futures? Not too many now!!
Ron Paul is the only candidate that speaks the truth about the Federal Reserve corruption and how it has destroyed the dollar. (Read his book; End The Fed). His foreign policy does not include non stop war on the middle east, killing millions of Muslims for Israel. The Zionist Jews own our media and entertainment industry. That's why we never hear about how many dual citizen US/Israeli people are in our government and what they are doing to direct our foreigh policy to wipe out their enemy. All other candidates are in bed with the Fed and will do as it says. Paul will not. He is the only one that offers real solutions to our huge financial problems. Stop the wars and end the Fed and we will get out of debt and become prosperous overnight. Go Ron, but watch out for those bullets from "lone assassins" (JFK, RFK, MLK). Lastly, read the 9/11 evidence, all of it. You will then know who the real terrorists are and they didn't use box knives they used nano thermite.
#1 Ron Paul is not really a Republican, he is a Libertarian! I don't know why the GOP even allowed him to enter the primaries. He will cross over between both parties whenever it is convenient for him.
#2 Ron Paul has hinted that when he doesn't get the GOP nomination that he would consider running on an alternate ticket, thus insuring that the Democrat remains in the WH. This proves that he is selfishly after power and not looking out for the US!
#3 Ron Paul and denigrated and alienated many of the GOP members that are in Congress (House & Senate)! He has also distanced himself from the Democrats. If by some fluke Ron Paul was elected as POTUS he would be totally stagnant from day one, no matter who makes up Congress!
With the way that Ron Paul has earned so many enemies in the GOP, I fail to see how he could effectively be much better than Obama if at all!
lOOKS LIKE rUSH IS WITH THE ESTABLISMENT REPUBLICANS.
Not to wander too far off the subject but has anyone seen a believable explanation for MSNBC filling the airwaves with daily evening stories about incarcerated prisoners and their sad stories? I never considered myself a conspiracy theorist but couple this with Obama's concistent attacks on the Constitution while creating civil unrest through dialog and it might appear he is openly recruiting for "Obama's Army".
I love Rush! However, I must disagree with him on this one.
RON PAUL: The only ELIGIBLE candidate!
