Jan. 8, 2012. During a town hall meeting in Meredith, NH, U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, R-TX, addresses a question about his view on U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.
"control them and hold them back" his actually is talking about america being controlled by israel. you have to understand he cant be more direct than that.
@halo4able I only meant Egypt was, read it correctly. i just meant when it comes time to choose an ally, who do you think they will choose an Arab country or the democratic Israel?
@heshshorey He's raised the national consciousness regarding the role the Fed has played in destroying the wealth accumulating in the lower and middle classes, and has given a voice to people who are disillusioned with the status quo. I'd hardly call that doing nothing. He's also established a 30 year history of voting on constitutional principles while representing his district. I think that's also something he can be proud of. The fact that you're noticing him now is directly a result of that.
what i take away from this is that RP may have his opinion on how foreign aid should be allocated, which may differ from the status quo, but the sense i get is that he wishes Israel well and agrees with the principles of zionism (independence and self reliance). i think his views on Israel are mischaracterized. when RP explains himself here, he does so in a sensible way that doesn't vilify or unfairly criticize Israel. i think that's what RP is saying is that we need to get along more as people.
@Spjungen NH used to be independent, but now so many people from Mass have moved across the border that NH is somewhat of an extension of Massachusetts today. I'm not surprised that Romney, a former Mass governor has higher than average support in NH. I think some of the resistance to voting for Ron Paul comes from being disillusioned with other candidates who sound good on paper but go on to invade Iraq and support the Patriot act. At least with Romney they think they know how dishonest he is.
I really don't get it...NH is libertarian, they're independent...they're smart...their MOTTO is live free or die...they know, EVERYONE knows romney is a tool and yet...he's winning...come on NH folks, seriously, don't let this be another Iowa...we all know santorum was pushed there, don't let these guys push hunstman and push the doctor down to third place AGAIN, seriously...please, I'm begging you, my family's future and the future of every family in America depends on this...
@Yakirsays wtf, you really think Iran will attack America on its soil? Please. If you knew the real military power of Iran you would not be worried about this at all. Israel (they have nuclear weapons) could take out Iran in one day only with its air force.
@Yakirsays your ignorance and hate are dangerous, and what scares me the most is that a lot of people are like you in USA. Please. Get your facts straight and be rationnal. Im done discuting with you, Its hopeless.
