Ron Paul has gone Hollywood. Appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” the presidential hopeful took a swipe at his GOP rivals telling the crowd that Michele Bachmann “hates Muslims.” When asked by host Jay Leno what he thought of his rivals, Paul shook his head, slowed his voice and said, “she doesn’t like Muslims, she hates them, she wants to go get ‘em” — in reference to the comments Bachmann has made on the campaign trail over her willingness to attack Iran over its suspected nuclear program. The comment was especially surprising for Paul, who up until now has shied away from personal attacks. The comment even left the audience and host Jay Leno momentarily stunned. In reference to Rick Santorum, Paul said he can’t stop talking about “gay people and Muslims.” When asked what he thought of Mitt Romney, Paul thought for a second and replied, “he was governor of Massachusetts?” The answer generated laughs from the audience and Paul responded, “that’s where he should stay at.” Paul used the rare late night appearance to elaborate on some of his libertarian leaning positions such as getting rid of federal drug laws in favor of state regulations. Paul added that the federal government should “protect the right to do with our own body what we want.” When asked if he was in favor of seat belt laws, Paul quickly shot back “I’m in favor of seat belts, not seat belt laws.” Paul walked out to a standing ovation by the mainly youthful audience. The fact wasn’t lost on Leno who noted that he drew lots of support from young people. “Young people are principled,” said Paul adding that “after a while you get mixed up.” Paul also touched on his ongoing feud with Donald Trump, telling Leno that the New York real estate magnate is “a little offended” he didn’t accept his GOP debate invitation. Paul said “he thinks I can’t win.” Leno shot back, “why don’t you remind him you won 12 times.” The Congressman again said he has “no intention” of running on a third party ticket but added he hasn’t ruled it out. When asked who his favorite president was, Paul in a nod to his nickname “Dr. No,” responded Grover Cleveland because “he loved to veto bills.” Poster Comment: This new 2.0 version of RP is wonderful. Finally someone is going after these psychotic war mongers.

RP raised $3.3 million in one day, yesterday, 12/16/11. hahahahahahaa!!!! i love it!!
Great news - thanks. May God bless his last campaign. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Has he said he will only serve one term if elected? I'm thinking this is his last rodeo afa presidential runs, Mike. I haven't heard anything about him serving only one term if elected.
That's my thinking too, but Lod mentioned it was his last race. Which it would not be as president. I was prodding Lod to think more positively. ;-) Agree.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Even Bachman is a war monger. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
ROTFLOL! "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
"She hates Muslims" is red meat to the Bachmanns and anybody else in their orbit. They barely manage to contain, let alone disguise their desire to walk all over the Middle East in jackboots.
I love that RP has openly declared war with the neos. It's about time we split the Rs like a ripe melon. With the momentum we're building by gathering in the anti-war vote, the neos could conceivably be a minority in the party of Hoover and Goldwater.
Yes, it's past time to lose the PC speech, to tell the unvarnished truth to the populace. If it's factual, say it; and don't try to sugar-coat it. RP2.O bump Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I wonder if Santorum is a closeted gay Muslim.
Santorum makes you think of the guy who didn't get a date for the prom. He seems pretty sour that his nostrums have caught the imagination of just about nobody and that the liberal interrogators won't give him the time day. It's looking like a pretty self-flagellating affair bringing up the tail of the pack with Huntsman.
Before the 'creation' of Israel we didn't have any enemies in the Middle East. But that inconvenient fact of history won't deliver Michelle Bachmann from her indecent worship of the Red Sea pedestrians.

Bachman is nothing more than a Republican Pelosi - a psychotic skank. "She hates Muslims" is red meat to the Bachmanns and anybody else in their orbit. They barely manage to contain, let alone disguise their desire to walk all over the Middle East in jackboots.

Charlie Manson was psychotic. This goes way beyond that.

You've hit on something there. There is something pathological - diseased - in the manner in which these figures pour out the most inflammatory rhetoric without regard for facts or truth. The Bachmanns are feeding off the groundswell of a large audience that greedily licks this stuff up. There's armies of Americans who are more than willing to conspire with the delusions that pols like Bachmann put out. They are infected with the same disease. So, Iran is now going to be held responsible for 911. They'll paint this on a banner that will be taken up by a host jugheads who are only too glad to march along to any tune as long as their deluded sense of injury can be maintained. They will gladly line up for the next campaign. Politians like Bachmann should know better. They are either sick or stupid.
