Ron Paul Thinks Hurricane Aid Is Wasteful, Touts Return To 1900
How can anyone even consider supporting this man? He doesn’t even know of the history of support given to people during natural disasters.

Ron wouldn’t think that if it happened to him or someone who means something to him….the guy is truly a piece of work ❗
Would’ve been better if they would’ve showed all of Paul’s comments instead of just bit and pieces…but that being said….I don’t like Paul. Just like last time, he’ll go no where…
What’s sad is it isn’t just Ron Paul and devout libertarians that think like this anymore. This kind of mindset has infected most of the right. It’s o.k. to turn your back on citizens in a disaster, but never on the rich or the military industrial complex.
The bonus for them is no matter how horrible things become for victims of these things, they can always blame it on Obama as a means of driving their base into a feeding frenzy.
When a disaster happens, people drop their differences and pitch in to help each other out. Progressives do this. Liberals do this. Moderates do this, and Conservatives do this. It is normal human behavior. It is very rare that someone would use a disaster as an opportunity to make a profit.

The Libertarian movement is very much misnamed. It is not about people’s liberties at all, but about Rights of Corporations over people.
As I understand it between 6 000 and 12 000 people perished in the hurricanes that Mr Paul referred to. It makes you question what sort of politician he is who doesn’t check his facts and carefully analyse them before making foolish public statements
I had no problem with the video clip. They let Ron Paul speak for himself and it was not taken out of context.
I would much rather see our tax dollars pay to help people rebuild after a natural disaster that they had no possible control over then to finance wars in other countries we have no reason to be involved in anyway.
Just saying. 8)
Ron Paul is and would be a disaster for this country that not even FEMA could save us from.
