Tommy ChristopherRon Paul Sounds Nuclear Alarm
According to GOP Congressman and ersatz upstart presidential candidate Ron Paul, there is some very loose talk on Capitol Hill these days. From Press TV:
This comes on the heels of another article by Seymour Hersh warning that the US is marching to war with Iran.
For opponents of a fiery hell on Earth, we can only hope that Ron Paul is less right about this than he was about Iraq.
Paul went on to express alarm at HR 362, which he calls the Virtual Iran War Resolution."I hear members of Congress saying 'if we could only nuke them'," said the congressman Thursday.
"If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster," he told the Alex Jones Show.
The 72-year-old veteran politician added that the atmosphere in Congress indicates that a military strike on Iran has already been condoned.

"Ersatz" presidential candidate? Either you don't know the meaning of the word, or you are intentionally maligning Congressman Paul. Here are some of its definitions: substitute; artificial and often inferior; using substitute components; imitation; simulated; counterfeit. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you meant "erstwhile," which means "former."

Ron Paul just happens to be in the right place at the right time. John McCain is not. His relationship with his Pastor John Hagee has inspired his devotion to Mexican illegals to become voters and the Jews Antichrist government to become warriors, By attcacking Iran he will go down in history as gods King David. Maybe ron Paul can save us all. Thanks

Excellent article Tommy. It's important for everyone to remember that while Ron Paul is no longer in the running for the presidency, we should continue to keep our eye on him because he remains an excellent watchdog over Congress and President Bush. He has, to date, never lied to us, and as you mentioned, he has predicted many of the catastrophic events that plaque our nation today.
It is my horror that a strike in Iran may be Bush's form of an "October Surprise".

As a student and author of Biblical Prophecy, I cannot help but notice that there is a End Time prophecy about a Middle Eastern leader taking peace from the earth by being given a Great Battle.
Could this Blockade lead to that Great Battle and World War?

Why does it seem like nobody cares? This story has been up since July 7th and so far only 9 people have commented on it? Why is anything that mentions Ron Paul's name so efficiently ignored in the media? I cannot, for the life of me, find any news about the Campaign for Liberty march on Washington yesterday. Why do we allow and condone such a biased media? How sad for us and our country. Ron Paul was the best hope for America.
