Ron Paul on Bridge Repair & Iraq (4/6/2005)

[stevedasbach]

Ron Paul is always ahead of his time.

Here's a quote from a speech made by Ron Paul in April 2005:
"Today it’s easier to get funding to rebuild infrastructure in Iraq than to build a bridge in the United States."

kudos to Vineyard Views for this quote.

A cold day in hell before the MSM would even mention Ron Paul saying this about our nation's infrastructure, despite the Minneapolis bridge collapse.

Well, we can do it ourselves. I just posted this quote and some pro-Paul remarks in response to a blog post at the Chicago Tribune about the bridge incident. We need to use these hot topics to demonstrate to people in a concrete way how a Paul presidency would make a difference.

This is a GREAT idea. If the thousands of Ron Paul supporters would start this practice it could really help to neutralize the MSM bias against Dr. Paul's outsider challenge to the powers that be. THX for putting this idea forward, lets just hope it will catch on with all RP supporters !!!

We spend billions policing the world keeping troops in over 125 foreign nations and our American infrastructure is falling apart. IT'S TIME TO COME HOME AMERICA AND PUT AMERICA FIRST !!!

How do they know the collapse only killed 'lefts'?

Quote the article:

A team of federal authorities has been dispatched to Minneapolis, scene of the bridge collapse that has claimed many lefts and left many more missing,

I just think we can look less like spammers and show people where the Texas beef is if instead of searching for the few Ron Paul articles out there we search for the articles and blog posts covering important issues where there are a lot of disgruntled people and add comments about how RP would relieve people of that disgruntlement. So many news sites these days allow us to comment on articles and people do follow these discussions closely.

The idea came to me yesterday when I went to the Obama blog and found a lot of people coming out of the woodwork the criticize his Pakistan speech. I responded to their criticisms with remarks about how Ron Paul would do things differently.

You think MSM will pick up this story or just the blogs....maybe we can just send a small quote to the MSM....We should put together a team to blast stuff like this accross the country...like diffent teams for difeerent parts of the country?
