Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins shows his support for Ron Paul (photo)

[justatrey]

Ran into this on Facebook:

Bruins goalie Tim Thomas and I. I asked him if he supported Ron Paul and he said yes. And then I asked if he would hold a Ron Paul bumper sticker with me in a picture and he said "for sure." Then he asked if he could keep the bumper sticker to put on his truck

I knew that he supports Ron Paul but I have never seen this photo before. Nice find.

Pic of him and the OP? Maybe that's why...

Ah ok, I suspected it when I read his statement on why he refused the White House visit with Obama but I didn't know he openly supports him.

Here's the statement for anyone who missed it:

I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT

Huh? The pic is with "Julie Borowski". I have no idea who that is, one of my friends just happened to share the photo.

Haha, truth! ... always respected Thomas, though. Great goalie.

[JebSanderson]

It's the fact that they beat the Canucks last year and they have a team full of douchebags like Lucic and Marchand.

[SneakyFrenchSpy]

That's the awesome Julie Borowski aka TokenLibertarianGirl up there with Thomas. 2 of our rising stars, one is a Stanley Cup champ the other will probably be Governor someday

She has a YouTube channel and does quite a few videos on liberterian issues. Also has a blog and popular twitter account.

He also has quoted Ron Paul on his facebook page before:

But this photo is even better, glad you found it. Spread it around.

[jct74]

I was just looking over his facebook page and in addition to previously quoting Ron Paul I see 2 other facebook posts about Ron Paul, including sharing the Kokesh video "RON PAUL IS THE CHOICE OF THE TROOPS".

I think I can singlehandedly convert a fair number of my friends to Ron Paul supporters based on this photo alone. We love us some Tim Thomas here in MA.

[VictorB]

That is a hell of a liberty 'stache. I love the pic.

[jct74]

Actually I'm not sure if he shared that "choice of the troops" video or someone just posted it on his page, facebook is kind of confusing, but he did also post this awesome Judge Nap "What if" video:

I don't know much about hockey or Tim Thomas but he sounds like a real winner according to his Wikipedia page.

Timothy James Thomas, Jr. (born April 15, 1974) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Raised in Davison, MI, Thomas played college hockey for the University of Vermont for four years, from 1993–1997, during which he was drafted 217th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He played for several years in the minor leagues and Europe, before making it to the NHL at age 28, with the Boston Bruins. He finally emerged as the Bruins' starting goaltender at age 32. Thomas is a two-time winner of the Vezina Trophy (2009 and 2011) as the league's best goaltender, and was a member of Team USA in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Thomas won the Conn Smythe Trophy for Most Valuable Player in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs. Winning it, along with the Stanley Cup, at age 37, he became the oldest player and second American-born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy in NHL history, after Brian Leetch.

I heard about a hockey player refusing a white house trip but I didn't know much about it. This guy is in the playoffs now against the Washington Capitals from D.C.

Fans of the opposing team taunted him with pictures of Obama
