The populist champion railing against the free market is really what gets my goat. This guy, who calls himself Mr. Independent, is the most opinionated hateful guys on TV but since he rails against Bush as well, he seems to escape under the radar.

If you hear some of his positions though, it doesn’t take long to figure out what sort of a doofus he is. Calls China – “communist China” at every instance forgetting or perhaps not understanding, or maybe misleading the American public into this idea that Communism is rearing its head and we should be really afraid.

Today though, he raised his idiocy to a completely new level. There was a segment on his show about how the “elite liberal media” (oh yea!) is so biased against Palin and Biden is getting a free pass for his gaffes. And then he quotes a figure saying Biden is up 5 or 6 to 1 compared to Palin when it comes to gaffes.

Would someone tell this idiot that Biden has appeared in 84 interviews compared to Palin’s 3 (if you really want to count the one with Hannity) since they were chosen as the VP nominee. So now you are going to compare 3 interviews to 84 and pull out this figure of 5 to 1 out of your empty head and make is sound logical. Did this idiot even give a minute’s thought to how many gaffes Palin would commit if she were to appear for 84 interviews. And then there is this figure of 5 to 1. Just pulled a number out of thin air, like those morons at Faux do all the time.

Lou Dobbs is nothing but a populist hack who should shut his dumb mouth once and for all.

There are plenty of reasons why you should vote for Ron Paul but try talking to a Ron Paul supporter and ask them to mention 1 reason why not to vote for Ron Paul and you will be called all sorts of names. They almost appear like the Bushies (thats slang for the Bush supporters) and almost think Paul is an incarnation of Christ who can do no wrong. I find this blind allegiance scary. It is okay to question even someone you support and I would certainly vote for RP if it Kucinich and Gravel weren’t on the ballot list. He is right on a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean he is right on everything. Also, questioning some of his policies or stance, doesn’t make you any less loyal than another supporter.

So here’s my list of 5 reasons why I would not vote for Ron Paul and the RP supporters would be well advised to ask him these questions.

1. War Reparations: Ron Paul doesn’t believe in providing war reparations to the Iraqis. He just dismisses that issue with a very cavalier atttitude saying “it was a mistake”. Well, yes, it was a mistake. But what mistake did the Iraqis commit? Did they ask the US to invade them and free them? Did they ask Saddam to rule over them in a despotic manner?

This position of RP is absolutely morally reprehensible to me. I detest this whole idea that the US is better than other countries. Every nation in the past has provided War reparations and so should the US of A. Not all Germans were Nazi sympathisers nor were all Japanese imperialists and yet Germany and Japan provided war reparations and that is the first step that the US should take while asking for an apology from the Iraqis and the world. Check this video see his position on War Reparations.

2. Net Neutrality: Comcast recently blocked some torrent traffic and everyday we hear of a new corporation choosing and picking what net traffic gets preference. Net Neutrality will make sure the Net remains Neutral but Ron Paul voted against it. I understand Paul is for limited government and intervention, but who else will police these corporations? Should the corporatiosn be left to police themselves. This is another ridiculous policy position by Ron Paul.

3. Global Warming: Ron Paul is obviously out to lunch here. His positions of free market and the cavalier attitude of personal responsibility is fatally flawed. That is all we have been doing so far. Asking the corporations to own up to their responsibility and it has not worked in the least bit. His positions are almost similar to Bush. When a majority of scientists in the world are pleading for some action his attitude on global warming is very scary.

4. Abortion: Ron Paul is against government intervention in private space but he doesn`t mind intervening in a woman`s uterus. He wants people to vote on whether a woman can have an abortion or not. The fact that he wants the states to choose and decide doesn’t change anything. What about a woman’s right in this issue since he is so for life and liberty. Since he is also against welfare, who will help the woman from the poorer class to feed her child. Who is he or anyone else to pass moral judgement on what a woman can or can not do.

5. United Nations: Ron Paul wants to move out of the United Nations. It is a noble organisation and its credibility is in tatters and that is all thanks to the US. Yet he will choose to completely move out of the United Nations and never intervene anywhere except if the security of the US is threatened. That means he won’t intervene in cases such as Rwanda and Darfur. That is morally reprehensible and disgusting.

It is no different than Bush’s position of intervening everywhere for US interests, just happens to be on the opposite SELFISH extreme.

Think about it Ron Paul supporters and question Dr. Paul on some of these issues. As Albert Einstein said: Unthinking Respect for Authority is the Greatest Enemy of Truth.
