Republican Jewish Coalition Bars Ron Paul From Debate: ‘He’s misguided and extreme’ Matt Welch Reason December 2, 2011 On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the Republican Jewish Coalition will host a presidential-candidates forum featuring Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum. Not invited is the GOP candidate currently polling around third in New Hampshire and second in Iowa: Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). The explanation: Paul was not invited to attend the RJC’s candidates forum because the organization – as it has stated numerous times in the past – “rejects his misguided and extreme views,” said [RJC Executive Director Matt] Brooks. “He’s just so far outside of the mainstream of the Republican party and this organization,” Brooks said. Inviting Paul to attend would be “like inviting Barack Obama to speak.” Link via the Twitter feed of an approving Jamie Kirchick. Brooks gave a more detailed critique of Ron Paul back in May: “As Americans who are committed to a strong and vigorous foreign policy, we are deeply concerned about the prospective presidential campaign of Congressman Ron Paul. While Rep. Paul plans to run as a Republican, his views and past record place him far outside of the Republican mainstream. His candidacy, as we’ve seen in his past presidential campaigns, will appeal to a very narrow constituency in the U.S. electorate. Throughout his public service, Paul has espoused a dangerous isolationist vision for the U.S. and our role in the world. He has been a virulent and harsh critic of Israel during his tenure in Congress*. Most recently Paul gave an interview in which he voiced his objection to the recent killing of Osama Bin Laden. Brooks added, “We certainly respect Congressman Paul’s right to run, but we strongly reject his misguided and extreme views, which are not representative of the Republican Party.” Read full report here

ron paul has copper pennies underneath blown fuses !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
"They put Israel ahead of America in importance." There,I fixed it. If the RNC were a actual political organization they would decertify the RJC and tell their candidates to not go debate in front of a lobby group that represents a foreign power.

That is the bottom line. I posted a great article out here a few days ago, that no one responded to: The article is from Salon -- a mainstream "left of center" site. It's quite interesting how the left can openly discuss the Israeli Lobby, but someone on the right cannot without being labelled "extreme" and "anti-Semitic". Another double standard at work...
The boys who cry “Holocaust” Yeah, I saw that. You DID get a few responses, btw.
DUMMY DwarF: ...I'm eating a meatball... "Whenver the dwarf sees something negative about a Democrat, he tries to change the topic of the thread to something else. Usually a personal attack, followed by mutterings about correct 'grammar' 'spelling' whatever. Anything he can think of to avoid a discussion about a Democrat screwing up or looking bad. It's a decade long pattern." --Badeye observation-- He's "misguided" because he doesn't want to kiss the ass of Israel, doesn't want them to live off OUR largesse, and wants them to take responsibility for their own actions. Yeah, that's "extreme" in their eyes. And they wonder why they've been chased and hated for thousands of years...? This parasitism just might have something to do with it...

It's a decade long pattern." --Badeye observation-- Boris, I know I'm going to regret asking this, but just for a little while, say two days, could you actually state the issues, positions or views that Paul holds that you disagree with, instead of auditioning for The Last Comic Standing? If you can't, I'll understand.
If you can't, I'll understand. Boris, like her namesake is a commie sympathizer.
"ROTFLMAO... Perfect!

I was aware of that, but I wasn't aware that Boris is a woman.

"They put Israel ahead of America in importance."
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
