Alan Grayson Introduces Amendment to Stop People From Going Broke or Homeless

@landsolo Wow! Verbatim right out of the Ron Paul internet terror manual.

And the Newsletters, mein freund? How did Mr. Paul come to publish twelve years of racist newsletters with his name on them?

do you know or understand the word verbatim? clearly the answer is no based on your commentary.
i have read many of his newsletters and the vast majority dont fit into the category you are defining, and those that do are by a loose definition at best.
obviously you are not at a level of success in your life where you have had other people do things on your behalf and have them make a statement or take action that doesnt fit your ideals.

@landsolo You don't even believe that BS about Ronny not knowing what was in the newsletters! He and Rockwell cooked the whole scheme up for votes.

@landsolo My comment about "verbatim" was referring to your standard Paultard opening statement which is always: "You're obviously to stupid to understand" or "Try doing some research" or some other insult or negatively provocative remark --- right out of the manual... apparently!

whether or not i believe he knew what was in the newsletters or not is one issue, and to me is borderline irrelevant. he has stood up time and time again against the bullshit in american politics and was one of the few questioning the FED before any of this mess started and asking why in the world we continue to support the co opted nazi regime perpetrated by isreal against palistine.

Well, it's certainly not borderline irrelevant to me, but I will admit you have a good point as regards Israel's continued openly-criminal behavior.

Paul still stands against any and all government services including public education and Universal Health Care (both deal breakers for me).

The United States has to quit behaving like some crazy Hollywood caricature of a bunch of self-righteous Texas Rangers if we have any hope of surviving as a progressive democracy or even a civilized society.

And yet he did EXACTLY that! Or at least for some ELEVEN YEARS his newsletter with HIS name on it continually made race-baiting statements and outright racist statements. That doesn't necessarily mean he himself is a "racist", but perhaps it is even worse than that to exploit the racist views of his constituents to further his own ends. I certainly think it is worse.

There are numerous former campaign insiders who have stated that Lew Rockwell actually wrote these articles as part of an overall strategy that he and Paul cooked-up to take advantage of the rampant racism present in Texas at that time (and this time as well I suspect).

All Paul says in his defense is that he doesn't know who wrote the articles in question and wasn't even aware they were in the newsletter... FOR ELEVEN YEARS... which is preposterous in the extreme!

Sorry, but there it is.
