RON PAUL BLAMES UNINSURED PROBLEM ON IRAQ

Ron Paul’s primary contribution to last night’s Republican debate at St. Anselm College was to provide comic relief. Nowhere was that more evident than in his answer to Charlie Gibson’s tendentious question about “why we can’t afford medical insurance for everybody”:
How can we afford a trillion-dollar war and we can’t afford health care? Well, that’s the reason. […]

A VOTE FOR RON PAUL IS A VOTE FOR HILLARYCARE REDUX

I have said before that Ron Paul will never voluntarily give up his newfound notoriety, even after he is resoundingly rejected by Republican primary voters. He again made that clear last Sunday on Meet the Press.  
Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) refused to rule out the possibility he may run as a third-party candidate during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Like most sudden celebrities, Dr. […]

RON PAUL: INSURANCE “RIGHTS” OVER AIDS PATIENTS

I’m sure I’ll (once again) incur the wrath of the “paulbearers” for highlighting the following segment from Ron Paul’s writings, but I was simply unable to pass it up. The Houston Chronicle provides a number of “interesting” quotes from the good doctor’s book, Freedom Under Seige, including this:
Paul also singled out people with AIDS, saying they “demand health care and […]

My First Death Threat: Compliments of Ron Paul

Like Redstate, I’ve received plenty of wacky Ron Paul comments. But, yesterday, it went to a new level: I got my first death threat, or something very like one. In response to a  post about Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton, I received a comment from “Brian” that begins as follows:
Someone should want to kill you for […]

Ron Paul: Selective Libertarian

I think I need to be in Ron Paul rehab. I keep saying to myself, “No more posts about Ron Paul,” but then I see some article or headline that knocks me off the wagon. This time it was the good doctor’s statement of faith on abortion: 
I am also the prime sponsor of H.R. 300, […]

Ron Paul: A Spoiler in the Making

A couple of months ago, I got a lot of abuse for suggesting that a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Hillarycare. But it would appear that I’m not the only observer to whom this unpleasant thought has occurred: 
Paul’s camp has shot down suggestions since he launched his campaign that he might try a […]

RON PAUL REPEATS PHONY MEDICAID CLAIM

I guess I have a morbid obsession with Ron Paul, but he is such a transparent phony that I am unable to resist the impulse to out him. Yesterday, he repeated one of his more preposterous claims to a reporter from the Concord Monitor:
Paul extended his small-government ideals to his personal life. As a doctor, […]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich Hate Children

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich voted “No” on HR 976, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. We know that anyone opposing SCHIP reauthorization hates children, so it obviously follows that Representatives Paul and Kucinich have an unreasoning antipathy to the wee bairns.
Because Paul, Kucinich, and an evil assortment of equally heartless House members voted […]

Ron Paul Agrees with Rudy Giuliani on Health Care

Back on August 2, Ron Paul made a floor speech in the House of Representatives about the Comprehensive Health Care Act. My first thought on reading the text was, “This contains some sensible elements. The good doctor must be back on his meds.”
Then it struck me how similar it was to the health care strategy […]

Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton Want to Kill You

As I have pointed out here, Ron Paul voted to allow prescription drug re-importation. This puts the good doctor right in line with Hillary Clinton and the other Democrats running for President. According to John Lott, this policy would put real human beings at risk:
All Democratic presidential candidates agree on pharmaceutical price controls, which means […]
