Occupy crowds cheer the ultimate fraud-Ron Paul
Ron Paul, libertarian and dangerous freak, has managed to impress the Occupy crowd. Why am I not surprised? They are, after all, easily impressed.
At a recent rally, Ron Paul was interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters chanting, “We are the 99%!” Paul quickly stepped in. “I’m very much involved with the 99,” he said. “I’ve been condemning the 1% because they’ve been ripping us off.” Cheers erupted. “It was a masterful performance,” writes Gary Weiss in Salon. “Ron Paul—fraudulent populist, friend of the oligarchy, sworn enemy of every social program since Theodore Roosevelt—had won the day, again.”
“Why shouldn’t he? Frauds win, whether they are in finance or politics,” Weiss continues. Paul’s campaign is based on its appeal to young voters—most of them not affluent, some even left-leaning. But his policy platform “is about as much of a 1%-oriented ideological meat cleaver as you can find anywhere in the annals of politics,” inspired by Ayn Rand’s belief that aid to the poor is really immoral theft from the rich. Don’t be fooled by Paul’s opposition to bailouts; he represents “the very antithesis of the values of Occupy Wall Street.”

Shawn Dayco!!! Not strong and brain lite. What a joke!!!!
You must be a fan of Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is a piss monkey. Cock strong and brain lite.
LOL Jacques. Cock strong and brain lite? Ha Ha Ha!!
I agree Dave, but he has some fanatic followers, almost like a cult. You do on FB or Reddit and say anything bad about the Pauler and you might get slaughtered.
I can’t imagine any sane person voting for this character, then again, at least on the Right and some on the Left, there may not be many sane folk left.
