At first I thought somebody was just making a joke about the occasionally naive, cynical and ignorant congressman from Texas, then I saw the video. I guess when your official position is "what's wrong with Iran having a nuke, and we brought 9/11 on ourselves or even that the tax rate should be zero (all things he has said on national television during the republican presidential primary debates), it shouldn't come as a surprise that he could say something so entirely ridiculous as this. Bradley Manning is the petulant homosexual who stole hundreds of thousands of classified documents and gave them all to wikileaks to be published for the world to read. He leaked the Apache video from Baghdad 2007, he leaked the engineering specifications to the military's IED detection devices, he leaked the entire library of classified battlelogs from Iraq and Afghanistan 470,000 files from those two combined, he leaked 250,000 classified state department diplomatic records, he leaked 75 classified state department cables, and he released the names of informants working with the US military in Afghanistan, some of whom have disappeared. All in all, a real fucking winner and by a country mile the winner of the biggest leaker of classified information in US history (followed closely by Patrick "Leaky" Leahy, the only current US Senator expressly forbidden from serving on the Senate Intelligence committee because of his history of overt intelligence leaking). Manning was busted for being gay before the repeal of DADT and was in process to be discharged when he had his epic tantrum and decided to get people killed the cowards way. Ron Paul feels that he is a hero, a true patriot. You really just can't make this shit up, fuck off Ron Paul you senile twat. Thank god your son inherited your good half, he's the one who should be running for president.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with Texans?

If all the info you posted is true then I can check him off the list. Where is Abe Lincoln when you need him?

They live in a large area surrounded by reality. There's nothing wrong with them, it's the rest of the country that has a problem.

50 years ago, we were fighting the USSR's puppets. Now, we're fighting our own imagined bogeymen. Regardless, Manning should be tried for treason. And we should stop policing the world.

Dude, Ron Paul is fucking wack. If he is referring to Manning, who is a fucking traitor and an example of failed leadership he is out of his fucking bird. It's okay for Iran to have a nuke? negatron spaceman...im pretty sure it's a global consensus that it's definitely NOT okay for Iran to posses a nuclear weapon....any sane person would feel the same.

I don't know why he gathered so much support for being such a fucking dumbass.

Glad you checked in, I actually started this thread specifically for you. Was going to PM it to you but thought it was important enough to make a thread for everyone to see.

So who's your alternative in the GOP? Remember--we're down to Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul--and most primary and caucus deadlines have long since passed. I'd love a better messenger but I cannot stand the other three.

Gingrich; although he is a grumpy troll; he is a smart mofo

Dude seriously? I'm a diehard Republican but I can't vote for any of these guys. They're all slimy. What's that old expression? Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. That's exactly how I feel at this point.

For me it's Gingrich, honestly there is nothing new about him on the negative side and his up side is much higher than the others.
