Former Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Friday he couldn’t support GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump if Mr. Trump wins the party’s nomination, saying Mr. Trump’s views on the scope of executive authority could surpass those of President Obama.

“No, I couldn’t do that,” Mr. Paul said on Fox Business Network when asked if he would support Mr. Trump, should the billionaire businessman win the GOP nomination. “He’s [the] opposite of a libertarian.”

Mr. Paul, a three-time presidential candidate, said on foreign policy, Mr. Trump probably wouldn’t be that much different than former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic front-runner.

“I think the die-hard neoconservatives would not be that extremely unhappy with Hillary,” Mr. Paul said.

Trump is going to be the most efficient [at] using the executive orders,” he said. “He’ll say this is the way it is, you know. Obama was pretty arrogant. If you don’t do it, [the] Congress, I’ll write an order. Well, I think Trump [will] be 10 times worse on writing orders because he’s used to doing this, and he brags about it.”

“He wants to be the boss. I’m not looking for a boss. We want somebody that will allow us to be our own boss, is what I think we should be looking for,” Mr. Paul said. (1 image)

Who cares what the washed up old man says now.

He's a liar- he lied to his supporters about making a deal with Romney, and then disappeared while his campaign took their money. Frankly, as one who has supported this man for years, I'd be happy if I never heard from him again. His time has come and gone- and now we're all stuck with his neo-con punk kid Rand. Hopefully Rand will lose his senate seat.

Just curious, who do you support?

And you realize that unless the Retard party decides to steal the nomination from The Donald it's going to be Trump vs. Clinton right? Actually I think Jill Stein is the best candidate but the Green party isn't going to win under any circumstances.

So if Trump fails, here's your new First Couple:

Trump is a wild card but it's the last best hope. If the wicked witch slithers into 1600 Penn ave it's going to be a total disaster.

" 10X worse than Obama "

Is Trump perfect? Hardly.

But 10X worse than Obama? That is quite an exaggeration!

Trump will reverse flooding the country with illegals, and muslims, and he will reverse course on the one sided trade deals that the USA takes it in the shorts.

That is 100X BETTER THAN OBUNGHOLE !!

Ron Paul believes that Trump will be 10X worse when it comes to Executive Orders. Maybe he will. But that's only because of the precedent set by Obama.

Where was Ron Paul when Obama signed an EO protecting 5 million illegals? The non-enforcement of federal drug laws? Obama's 23 "executive actions" on guns? Obama's EO to raise the minimum wage for federal contractors? The EO to close Gitmo?

But he gets his panties in a wad because Trump might do the same.

The imperial presidency has expanded steadily throughout the post-WW II era. It could be argued that it has continued largely unabated since Dishonest Abe and the Civil War.

So trying to blame Bush for what 0bama has done is pretty lame. You could always say of any president that "he only did it because so-and-so broke down the constitutional barriers, etc.". Even if there is some element of truth to it, a president's actions are his own, not those of any predecessor. They all choose to bend or break or ignore laws as they please and to try to use Congress and the courts to rubberstamp their will to power and desire to steamroll their opposition. This is true of all presidents.

The truth is, 0bama would have done all these things with or without Bush. Bush has been a handy whipping boy for 0bama to use, along with the libmedia pundits and assorted Lefties.

"All of the shit Obama has done to destroy this country could not have taken place without the Bush administration setting the stage."

The stage was set by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 1. Presidents always had the power of Executive Orders.

I'm saying Obama abused that power -- not based on the total number of EOs, but based on their content.

You brought up Bush. Fair enough. What did he pass by EO that was unconstitutional or so outrageous that you even mention it?

Here's one.

President George W. Bush issued several controversial executive orders surrounding the gathering of intelligence in the war on terror. Arguably the most controversial was a secret executive order he signed in 2002, authorizing the National Security Agency (NSA) to eavesdrop without a warrant on phone calls made by U.S. citizens and others living in the United States. The NSA had previously been limited exclusively to intelligence gathering operations outside of the country [source: Risen]. Critics of Bush's executive order accuse the NSA of conducting unconstitutional searches under the president's authorization.

All I am saying is that Obama's policies are simply a continuation of the policies set forth by the Bush administration .

You clowns don't get it, do you?

It doesn't matter who is president, the destruction of America will continue as the NWO agenda is increasingly implemented.
