Ron Paul Goes On The Offensive In Austin

Slams rival candidates as establishment
shills, attacks GOP factions who tried to bar him from debates, exposes
New World Order and military-industrial complex

During a campaign stop in Austin Texas this weekend, Presidential
candidate Ron Paul called for bringing home U.S. troops and
an end to a welfare state that benefits only big business at
the expense of the poor and the middle class, while attacking
his rival candidates as establishment shills who are out of
touch with the sentiment of the American people.

The Texas Congressman also slammed the New World Order, the
North American Union and the move towards global government
which is being implemented partly by the erosion of U.S. sovereignty
and the Bush administration's suicidal immigration policy.

"I think even our first President Bush said that the New
World Order was in tune and that's what they were working for.
The U.N. is part of that government. They're working right now
very significantly for a North American Union - that's why there
are a lot of people in Washington right now who don't care too
much about our borders. They have a philosophic belief that
national sovereignty is not important. It's also the reason
that I have made very strong suggestion that we need not be
in the United Nations for our national security," Congressman
Paul said.

During the event, Paul called for the troops to be brought
home and chastised the Democrats for failing to offer any alternatives
for the catastrophe in Iraq.

"As a physician, I was always taught, if you give the
wrong diagnosis, the wrong treatment, just doing more of the
same does nothing to help the patient," Paul said.

The Congressman cited the legacy of the founding fathers in
warning against becoming involved in foreign entanglements.

"The founders were absolutely right on this issue-- that
if you talk with people and make friends with people and trade
with people, we're much better off than trying to impose our
will on them," said Paul.

"This actually did not start with this administration
nor the previous administration. This has been smoldering for
about 100 years. It was Woodrow Wilson that said 'We as Americans
will make the world safe for democracy.' And look what's happened
since World War I," added the Congressman.

The presidential candidate also laughed off the suggestion
from Neo-Cons that he should have run as a Democrat, citing
his record as the most conservative member of the House as an
example of how warped the partisan political spectrum had become.

The Congressman found it telling that some factions of the
GOP were trying to bar the most Constitutional-orientated candidate
from even taking part in future televised debates. This followed
a move which was later dropped on behalf of the Michigan branch
of the Republican Party to bar Paul from future events.

"Isn't it interesting that the establishment figures that
the one who most defends the Constitution has to be eliminated
from the debates - what's going on this country?" asked
Paul.

Elaborating, Paul attacked his rival candidates for being establishment
shills with policies sympathetic only to the elite and contrary
to the sentiment of the majority of American citizens, adding
that they had only "dug themselves into a hole" by
refusing to acknowledge the fact that 70% oppose the war.

The Congressman also sounded off on the welfare state, stating
that while some welfare, mostly crumbs, goes to the poor, most
welfare actually goes to "the military industrial complex
and to bankers," a problem he would address as President.
