Ron Paul-- combining the wacko-douchery of Ross Perot, the spoilerosity of Ralph Nader, and the "I want to castrate you and give you some special sneakers" je ne sai quoi of the Halle-Bopp Suicide Cult Guy-- was on MEET THE PRESS this last Sunday, where THIS exchange took place:

MR. RUSSERT: I was intrigued by your comments about Abe Lincoln. “According to Paul, Abe Lincoln should never have gone to war; there were better ways of getting rid of slavery.”

REP. PAUL: Absolutely. Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war. No, he shouldn’t have gone, gone to war. He did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic. I mean, it was the–that iron, iron fist.

(Clearly the emphasis is mine as Ron Paul cannot speak in Bold)

The point?

RON PAUL KNOWS WHERE IT'S AT, BITCHES

IRON FIST ENDED SLAVERY

(merry xmas)
