Ron Paul is not a historian, he is a politician!

[MidGe]

Paul lauded Ronald Reagan for challenging then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down" the Berlin Wall in 1987. Paul said during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis "we again talked to Gorbachev and worked something out. We removed missiles from Turkey and we avoided a nuclear holocaust."

But the Soviet leader at the time was Nikita Khrushchev!?

Should we expect our politicians in the US or anywhere else, but more importantly in the US, to have a modicum of history education (just to ensure that it doesn't repeat itself - Iraq, Vietnam, Cuba, etc...). Would people really vote for an ignoramus in historical facts, even if knows the female reproductively system like an expert?

The more I research Ron Paul on the net... specially seeking direct quotation from him, the more moronic the dude appears.

I love the US and it's majority, and I know that the majority will not vote a republican let alone a loony one. Go USA, show the world you shake the yoke of those that have not represented your most noble, caring and peaceful aspirations.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the majority of US citizens and am only trying to help in something that although being internal to the US has so many consequences for others that it cannot be ignored.

Midge...you have your own thread. What is the deal with this new thread.

But seriously - link to where he said that? Also, isn't it possible that Paul meant to say Khruschev, and made a mistake? Seriously midge, of all the politicians, I think Paul knows history best. People mis-speak from time to time, I wouldn't make such a big deal of it.

Edit: and darnit, I'm goin to bed right as Midge starts posting. Oh well, see you all in the morning.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

This just happened to be the quote of the day on my Google homepage.

Since you started that thread your posts ought to be rightfully confined to it.

Are you just trying to act as a schoolboy bully? Telling others what to do? Things were better, well more rational, or at least less irrational, albeit not as funny, if you have that sense of humor, during your posting hiatus.

At least I have reason and rationale on my side... you don't even have that, relying on your old man with white beard in the sky! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, not violently imposing your views on others is "loony". You've convinced me!

MidGe, its not nice being a lamb amongst wolves is it? I commend you brother! Refreshing to see someone not simply reciting boring rhetoric and Ron Paul propaganda all the time.

Ignore the Ron Paul haters.

The Ron Paul cult has all the answers.

We are the truth, we are the light.

I think it was nothing more than a slip on Paul's part. I do it all the time. And it's not so much due to his age; I was doing it in my early 30's. I get names confused more often than the avg guy.
