#1. To: Ron Paul Invites Rush Limbaugh To Debate On The Issues (#0)

Former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul made a Tuesday evening appearance on MSNBC to discuss the recent ruckus caused by neoconservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Over the weekend, Limbaugh stated at the Conservative Political Action Conference that he wanted Barack Obama’s presidency to fail. Since then, the mainstream media has hailed Limbaugh as the “leader of the Republican Party” and has played numerous clips of neoconservative members within the Republican party agreeing that Limbaugh is indeed the leader of the party.

When pressed with question, “Do you want President Obama to fail?”, Paul responded by saying “no” and affirmed that he wanted the president to be successful in accomplishing his goals but gave the explanation that he does not wish to see Obama’s philosophies of big government, socialism, welfare, and foreign intervention to succeed.

The Texas Congressman followed by saying that we dwell too much on the opinions of a talk radio host instead of dealing with the real issues. Paul even went as far as boldly challenging Rush Limbaugh on issues like the civil liberties, the Federal Reserve, and foreign policy.

“I would ask him why doesn’t he stand up more for civil liberties and why doesn’t he explain why he supports the Patriot Act,” Paul said. “I would much rather talk about why Rush Limbaugh doesn’t support my position in looking into the Federal Reserve and being able to audit the Federal Reserve, now that is an important issue.”

“He never said hardly boo against George Bush. He supported all that big spending. Did he complain about George Bush? Did he complain about all those wars that were going on that cause us so much trouble? So that’s the kind of issues that I want to talk about and I will be quite willing to challenge Rush Limbaugh on those issues.”

++++++++++

i'd like to ask RP why he stays in the GOP!
