Ron Paul Booed for Suggesting 9/11 was Caused by American Foreign Policy

I think Ron should just focus on facts. If the war chickens are deluded, he can just try to be honest and probably they will learn in time.
1)Give examples of experts (military, CIA, like Scheurer etc) which have said why the terrorists attack us.
2)Ask Santorum why USA was not attacked before US started meddling in the affairs of middle east ? USA has been free and prosperous for more than 200 yrs!Again focus on the increased number of terrorist attacks because we are there.
3) Difference between non-interventionalism (as proposed by Founding Fathers) vs Isolationism (which is practiced now - by first putting sanctions, hurting the general population, and then going to war)
4)Reverse the problem, by giving some example of how people here will feel if a foreign country made bases here and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans ?
5)Take it to an emotional level by saying he should be sympathetic to those who have lost their family members for these endless and goal-less wars. Mention suicide rates among soldiers.Is that what they deserve from their Govt.? Troops understand his message and give him the most donations.Isnt it time we understand their situation?
6)Quote any surveys where people say they are against wars (Last I heard it was 70%+)
7) How many of his kids will Santorum send for these wars ? Or will he go himself ? How can he push on sending others' kids to fight for his deluded reasoning ?
8) Who pays for the wars ? Who pays for the military bases ? How this spending causes inflation and how it benefits the military industrial complex.
9) I heard somewhere Ron was in favor of sending special forces or mercenaries after Osama - which was a cheaper and specific action for a goal. But the hawks wanted war only.(donno if this is true)

Show that he is patriotic but still wants peace, and he wants specific action against specific people, and not unfocused wars. Declare war in Congress and not by executive order.
Stick to the facts and give it a hint of emotion, should hopefully work.

repeating it every chance we get. We need pass on the OBL letter. We have to continue to educate the sheep. Also, aside from ideology, how does the tea party expect to pay for the wars? They want lower taxes and less inflation.

David Cross annihilates the neocon lie that the terrorists hate America because of our freedoms.

Funny stuff.. (careful language)

If you listen he gets a few boo's when he brings up they don't attack us cause we are free. Keep in mind these people just watched and heard a 3 day marathon of people dieing in buildings jumping out of buildings and listening to people and their loved ones last words as they prepare to die. I actually understand how this can effect someone after watching such stuff for 3 days straight. It's kind of like PTSD that the soldiers come home with. It's a real thing. The thing that should amaze everyone is the boo's get even loader after that. When he says the word "Palestinian". The boo's actually come after he says the word but it starts to build from that point and builds almost to the next point but it was the word Palestinian that evoked the boo's. Can anyone think of a group that would feel this way about this word?

Watch what the guy says at 2.37.

Trust me this group was at the debate and they where created for a purpose. They took one of the revolutions events and built a movement around that event. They will steal every talking point they can from the revolution accept 3. The first they will allow a little talking about as long as its around the edges "the Fed Reserve" the second they will talk about it a little but will never actually be serious abut doing anything about it "the Income Tax" and the third platform they will never yield on the subject "war and the ownership of Jerusalem". This group was created to draw people in to the Republican party that would never vote for a Bush or a McCain. This group was created to be the mask on the neo-cons. The core group is made up of neo-cons and the new converts will be used to outnumber the Revolution at the conventions. Once this group of new converts get them elected non of the people who get elected will even care what these people say. It will be a top down controlled group and anyone who speaks out will be made an outcast. The very people who are sick of the big spending and out of control government of George bush will be tricked into actually voting for the same people they proclaim to hate. They will be all wrapped in a flag and carrying a bible. Now you got to admit its pretty genius "evil" but genius. What did you think Glenn Beck was doing at Fox? he was building a 912 movement that looks like the revolution but is not the real deal. Its a magic trick. Many will fall for it.

or anything else we write on DP.

What do YOU say when people ask you about RP's foreign policy? We could all use a little refinement in our responses to these gotcha questions.

Can you put together a better 30 second response to any of these questions?

Go ahead it would be good practice for you. Or are you only interested in being a sarcastic jerk?

Telling that all the "front-runners" are calling for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, and getting applause for it. Why isn't this attitude change making headlines?

Of course, only Ron really means it, has been saying it for years, and would bring the troops home from everywhere else as well.

By far, Ron Paul just made the most poignant statement of the entire 2012 presidential campaign.

"We're kidding ourselves, we have to be HONEST with ourselves. What would we do if another country, say China did to us what we do to all those countries over there?"

Santorum gave a canned response, and Ron Paul hit it out of the stratosphere.

Ron got booed AND applauded at the same time.

"We have been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for ten years. Would you be annoyed!? If you're not annoyed then there's some problem!"

It hits home, hard...because many Americans know deep down he's right.

Ron planted a very serious thought - what would we do as Americans if China started bombing the ever living crap out of us?

We would retaliate.

Checkmate.

I just posted a blog about this.

Is Ron Paul Wrong About 9/11?

I try to appeal to even the most pig headed neo-con

Its ok that people booed Ron Pauls response. People can disagree with him on this point even if they are wrong. The point is Ron Paul is telling the truth and that is what will set us free from the situation we are facing now.

In point of fact I was surprised that there werent more boos when he talked about foreign policy since this party is apparently so supportive of the wars being faught in the middle east.

Ron Paul is clearly winning this debate, if in the worse case scenario he will need to become a 3rd party candidate to win the presidency. Ron Paul will become president, there are too many people from both parties who agree with the most important topics he presents.

Dont be discouraged by these trivial matters, just be happy Ron Paul is out there on center stage telling the truth!

So many times, it seems like candidates use their faith to prove a political point. Even though I think it's wrong to use your religion to gain political favor, I feel like Ron Paul should bring it down to a level that people can understand. Even Jesus said "for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." Isn't he just referring to blowback here?

I love this one, shared on Facebook by Christians for Ron Paul 2012

I went over to my neighbors back yard and kicked a wasp nest and it stung me! So it's gotta be the wasp's fault, right?

We can agree that we have been bombing Iraq and sticking our noses in the Mid East for over 10yrs now, going after the, "bad people"... Every country, state and city has bad people in it, "we have a few in Washington D.C." In getting the bad people we have been bombing the cities and in turn killing innocent people... " Why don't we bomb D.C....?, they have bad people don't they...?! We don't because it would kill innocent people...! So does it make it ok to bomb cities because they are of a different race or country...? So to say that they had no right to fight back is like saying that we had no right to to fight back after 911 and is like saying that if China did to us what we do to other countries, that we should just lay down and take it...!? We should go in and snipe the bad guys and get out...! Black ops...!

Possibly the people that booed were 911 truthers?

Would have clapped if Rick Perry would have said.... "I like Turtles!"
