Ron Paul: "There is a 'Kinship' With Bernie Sanders"

[ericson00]

Here's Ron Paul, former GOP candidate, on Bernie Sanders:

Ron Paul said that he felt a "kinship" with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, though each would differ in addressing the problems they are both concerned about.

"We're both against corporatism," Paul, the former Texas congressman who ran for the White House in 2008 and 2012, Thursday told Larry King on the "Politicking" webcast. "We're both against the special benefits to big business.

"His answer to that wouldn't always be the same," Paul continued. "Mine would always drift to the free markets. His would drift to 'well, we need more government to redistribute wealth' — but we could both attack subsidies to business or the military industrial complex.

1. They're "both against corporatism" but are otherwise completely opposite?

So what?

Posting from Newsmax too. Is that where you do your reading?

[ericson00]

5. Bernistas post Breitbart all the time

n/t

[arcane1]

7. So? If it's wrong to post from Breitbart, that doesn't make it right to post from Newmax.

You're basically admitting that you're pulling bullshit

[RobertEarl]

9. They are both Americans!!! OMG!!!

Are you?? Then you are like Ron Paul!!!

[arcane1]

11. Seriously. DU needs a better quality of troll. This is like amateur hour today.

A bunch of second-string troll wannabes.

[RobertEarl]

15. And for no pay!!

I could see them trolling for dollars, but to act like this for no pay is just nutzo!

I had an H camper tell me that everyone knew bush was going to invade Iraq. Everyone that is but their dear Hillary. I nailed that one.

Who's next? Hey trolls, bring it!

[jack_krass]

31. Unpaid troll = useful.idiot

[cali]

23. Ooh. Mommy, Johnny did it too!

[baldguy]

2. There's Bernie's "independants" he's relying on.

[KingFlorez]

3. Yuck, I can't stand him

Ron Paul is like something on the bottom of my shoe.

[cali]

20. Yucky. Smearing by proxy. Using newsmax. Fuck that.

4. Yeah, I can see that. nt

[timmymoff]

6. I do not know if Ron Paul donated to

Bernie's campaigns, but I do know the republican frontrunner donated to many of Hillary's campaigns. Kind of speaks volumes wouldn't you say?

[Vattel]

8. Sanders agrees with Paul's good ideas, but rejects his bad ideas.

Good for Bernie.

[jmowreader]

40. If the idea is one Paul has, it is by default a bad idea

[JRLeft]

43. Wrong, auditing the Federal Reserve was a great idea.

[Demsrule86]

10. love one another now

The GOP love Bernie so much...

[raging moderate]

14. Except for the GOP who love Hillary so much...

Isn't all this starting to sound suspicious? Are they perhaps trying to play us, as in divide and conquer? Maybe we could really love another now.

[Demsrule86]

36. I don't see it that way

Bernie and Joe S... (morning joe ) have quite the bromance ...it seems.

[frylock]

12. ..

[Txbluedog]

16. Yes because when a President greets a former First Lady

He should bit!hslap her or they are in cahoots

[frylock]

19. Seems a bit extreme.

[bahrbearian]

29. " Hillary remember the IWR, those were good time's, thanks for the support"

" well George ,Iraq was a business opportunity. but your welcome, now can I get a little support for my campaign."

[ozone_man]

38. +1

It would be great some day if we can elect a president not beholden to the MIC, Wall Street, lobbyists, ... One day.

[azurnoir]

42. No because according to Barbara Bush they are 'adopted' sibling in-laws

She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him “My brother by another mother.”

“He’s very nice,” Barbara Bush continued. “I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had

Her virtual adoption of Clinton appears to be more than a tongue-in-cheek ploy to give the Bush family three straight occupants of the White House - her husband echoed the warm feelings for his former rival.

“He knows a lot about everything,” George H.W. Bush told the magazine. “He's a very knowledgeable, bright man. He sat out here one time, and we talked about every possible [SUBJECT]- one after another.”

The unlikely friendship between Clinton and his predecessor began in 2004, when the two ex-Presidents joined forces to raise money for the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

28. Bush 1 and Bush 2 will not attend GOP convention

NAZI Trump in 2016 is a bridge too far even for the Bushes and they did business with Hitler's gov't

[seabeyond]

13. We know.

Pathetic attempt to smear by association.

[AgingAmerican]

21. As opposed to Hillary who has a 'kinship' with the Republicans

On a host of right wing issues from mass incarceration, to fracking, to tax cuts for the wealthy, to the death penalty, etc, etc.

[jillan]

24. How dare that Bernie work with people in Congress? The horror!!

[Demsrule86]

37. Ron paul is not in Congress anymore

[jillan]

39. Duh. Neither is Bernie. Lol. But they did work

together when they were in Congress at the very same time.

[NCTraveler]

25. This was noticed early by the Sanders campaign.
