THIS IS WHY LIBERALS LOVE RON PAUL
During today’s Republican debate, Ron Paul demonstrated why he can’t be U.S. president: He blamed the United States for 9/11. (H/t: Weasel Zippers)
Libertarian Ron Paul – 9/12/2011:
Video mark 2:49:
“This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this and they are attacking us because we are free and prosperous, that is just not true. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda have been explicit … they have been explicit and they wrote and said that “we attacked America because you had bases on our holy land in Saudi Arabia, you do not give Palestinians fair treatment and you have been bombing (audience boos) … I didn’t say that. I’m trying to get you to understand what the motive was behind the bombing. At the same time we had 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.”
THE ROBAINA OF 2006
In 2006, then-Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina sided with then-Commissioner Natacha Seijas against those trying to remove her from office. Robaina was the main supporter in Seijas’ successful defeat of that year’s recall effort.
He was able round up support for Seijas from other politicians.
Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association (PBA) union president John Rivera, another long-time Seijas’ ally, came to the defense of Commissioner Seijas.
Below is PDF of the letter from Robaina and allies defending Natacha Seijas against the 2006 recall:

February 6, 2006
Dear Residents of District 13,
We write this letter in Support of Commissioner Natasha Seijas’ courageous leadership in the County Commission of Miami-Dade and to offer our full support as she continues to serve the residents of District 13 and those of Miami-Dade County. In particular, we would like to commend Comm. Seijas for her service and commitment to the county since 1993.
Furthermore, we urge you to take a stand and join us in supporting Comm. Seijas against the recent “Citizens Recall” which has been initiated in retaliation as a personal vendetta. This “Citizens Recall” is not only a waste of taxpayer money, but it is being used as an intimidation tool and for personal political advancement. We condemn this blatant disrespect of taxpayers and residents. Comm. Seijas has lead many efforts to improve the quality of life and services provided to residents throughout the County. She has always demonstrated her ability to be a forthright representative of her community before the County.
Please join us in support of Comm. Seijas and in a fight to end the deviance of some “community members who wish to tarnish the image of one of the greatest leaders the County Commission has seen, who has fought for Elderly and women’s rights, while trying to help families throughout the county, and to improve the lives of not only her district, but all of Miami-Dade County. WE HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN THE INTEGRITY AND COMPETENCY OF COMM. SEIJAS.
Mayors
Julio Robaina- City of Hialeah
Yioset de la Cruz –City of Hialeah Gardens
Wayne Slaton — Town of Miami Lakes
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…
If only these intermittent/timid conservative pundits would be as courageous and sharp to attack the leftists who are destroying our nation…
Voting for the electable RINO (i.e., John McCain) who could win against a Democrat was tried in 2008, and it gave us Obama. Why vote for a RINO who will side with the Democrats, e.g. Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Mike Castle?
KARL ROVE VS. REPUBLICAN CHRISTINE O’DONNELL
Karl Rove: Why did O’Donnell take long to pay back her college bills?
Karl Rove, amidst his personal attack against O’Donnell, could not criticize O’Donnell on policy and forgot to congratulate her.
“Rove came across as an effete sore loser instead of the supposedly brilliant and grounded GOP strategist that he’s supposed to be.” (MichelleMalkin)
Dana Perino: Mike Castle “never lost a race.” Christine O’Donnell “never won a race.”
Perino said this the morning after O’Donnell won the primary election despite the attacks from the GOP establishment. Perino is not happy.
FLASHBACK, Nov. 17, 2008: Krauthammer said Obama will govern from the center: “The fact is that we don’t know what he thinks deep inside, but it really hardly matters, because if you watch him, he does have these radical associations in the past, and he had in the Senate a fairly left liberal record.
But if you watch him and the way he moves to the center…” “And the way he is speaking now as president-elect indicates as well that it looks as if he may throw a bone or two at left at the beginning.” “But I think he will see that as bones, as a way to insulate himself, and then he will end up in the center.”
Laura Ingraham: “She’s [O'Donnell] not the perfect candidate, no she isn’t, it’s gonna be a tough race in Delaware but it’s gonna be a lot tougher because Democrats are getting help from elite Republicans to defeat her, you see what’s happening? The Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot here.”
DO YOU KNOW OF ANY FOREIGN LEADER WORKING AS HARD AS THESE FOOLS TO WEAKEN THEIR OWN COUNTRY?
Libertarian Ron Paul: “The war that is not a war.”
“It was not war – it wasn’t declared. How can it be a war when we are not fighting against a government? We are fighting against a group of people that don’t have planes, or tanks, or ships, or missiles, or anything.”
“It’s an insurgency, all because we are over there. They don’t like foreigners.” Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), CNN, 7/7/2010 [Video mark 2:26]
So, who should be the superpower? China? North Korea? Iran? Islamic terrorists?
Following the absurd logic of Ron Paul and Barney Frank: Now that radicals are arming themselves and want to destroy us, let’s get rid of our weapons and defenses!
Declaration of war? How about the 9/11 attack or the 1993 Word Trade Center attack or the 1988 Bombing Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland? Ron Paul wants us to wait for the enemies to send us a certified letter declaring war? According to Ron Paul, we cannot attack the terrorists because they do not have planes or tanks!?! Ah!!!!!!
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT TO DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY WON THE 2008 ELECTIONS?
Republican-In-Name-Only (RINO) Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina thinks so. He voted today to support Obama’s leftist nominee Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court because “President Obama won [the 2008 elections].”
Graham joined 12 Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee and voted to move up Kagan’s nomination for full Senate vote. The rest of the Republicans voted against: Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma).
The Committee’s roll call vote: 13-6. [1]
Graham on his vote for Kagan:
“I’m going to vote for her and that doesn’t mean I’m pro-choice. I’m very pro-life. I’m going to vote for her because I believe the last election had consequences…” [2] (Video minute 14:53)
Graham used the same excuse when he voted for leftist then-Justice-nominee Sonia Sotomayor:
“I voted in the Senate Judiciary Committee for Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court…Judge Sotomayor is definitely a more liberal judge than a Republican president would have nominated, but elections have consequences.” [3]
Thus, following Senator Graham’s stupid logic, all Americans must blindly submit to Democrats for the next 2.5 years since they won the 2008 elections. Did Democrats submit to Bush and the Republicans? No!
RINOs are blind: They cannot see that Obama and the Democrats are destroying America!! These are not normal times.

BILL INFORMATION
Bill Number: H.R.4173 (Bill Text and PDF)
Title: Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010
A.K.A.: “Dodd-Frank financial regulation,” “Financial Services Reform”
Sponsor: Rep Frank, Barney (D-MA)
Roll Call: 60-39with three stupid RINOs voting ‘yes’: Scott Brown (R-MA), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) [When will we stop electing RINOs. Conservatives values are more important than an 'R' after a candidate's name.]
The main culprits are not affected: “GSEs: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are largely considered a major cause of the housing bubble and are the biggest of bailout recipients. Yet the bill does not create new rules or changes for these firms.”
