Newsmax has a story out (Apparently only in their email) that quotes a Bloomberg insider who says he got the impression Bloomberg is in the running for the VP slot after a recent meeting between Senator McCain and the Mayor of New York. If it’s true, then it confirms my suspicion that McCain is a consummate moron. I can see why McCain would like Bloomberg. McCain was thinking about quitting the party, but the double-dealing mayor didn’t have to think about it. I despise Bloomberg. He is an overly-ambitious lying liberal scumbag.
Bloomberg biggest screwup to date was the Jail-Imam affair. Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil was caught on tape making all kinds of crazy statements about Zionist in the media and terrorists in the White House by Steve Emerson’s Investigative Project. So what did Bloomberg do? He suspended him for two weeks. After seeing the evidence that jihadists are being recruited from our prison populations, it is hard to fathom how Bloomberg could take this situation so lightly. But what would you expect from a lefty? Freedom of speech comes before all other considerations. New Yorker’s must have short memories. Bloomberg is soaring in the polls. Hard to fathom how this could be happening in the city that was hit on 9/11. If McCain picks Bloomberg, I think he may just have to kiss the presidency goodbye.

Well this is an old blog post, but I found it randomly through Google so here’s a response in defense of Ron Paul’s position.
According to this article from Fox News - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85446,00.html
“…the presence of American forces here has long been an irritant for Saudi rulers facing strong anti-American sentiment among a growing and increasingly restive population. Fifteen of the 19 alleged Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis, and Saudi-born Osama bin Laden cites the U.S. military presence in his homeland as a reason for his hatred of America.”
Even if our troops were there at the invitation of the Saudi government, it well-known that their government does not represent the will of the people. Apparently Bin Laden perceived our presence there as an occupation.
Also, Ron Paul votes against every appropriations bill. However, because his district is paying loads of taxes, just like every other district, it is Ron Paul’s duty to represent his constituents and try to get some of that money back in the form of earmarks. If Ron Paul did not submit the earmarks, that money, which has already been appropriated, would be taken by an earmark for another district or just spent without oversight by the Executive branch.
