-- Ron Paul
Peter James: I can't tell you how tickled I am to get Dr. Paul's endorsement.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: You know, this is big. Really big.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Because there's no one in the world more highly regarded by the voters in Maryland's Fourth Congressional District than Dr. Paul.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: I mean, just the other day, I went into a grocery store in District 4, and all they could talk about was monetary policy and the private banking monopoly.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: It was in District Heights. You know the store I'm thinking of, right?
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: They just love Dr. Paul.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: They agreed with me that it was outrageous how Dr. Paul was blamed for the things someone else wrote in Dr. Paul's newsletter under his name.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: It was just like the way people are punishing Barack Obama now for belonging to Jeremiah Wright's church.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: You can't expect a man to know what his pastor has been saying for 20 years, and you sure can't expect a man to know what's being written in his name in his own newsletter.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Because Dr. Paul's a busy man.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Fighting efforts to cover up the answers to what happened on September 11.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Not that he believes that George Bush personally ordered the destruction of the World Trade Center.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Just that questions have been raised, and if you can't trust the government to tell the truth about monetary policy, how can you be sure it's telling the truth about controlled demolition?
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: And all of the liberties we've lost since that day are nothing but attempts to provide an unattainable security for us.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Because the only way for us to have complete security is to build a maximum-security prison for all of us.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: And if we can't have complete security, then we should surely have none.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: At least if it interferes with our liberties.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Like our God-given right to use controlled substances.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: And our right to sacrifice animals.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Only kidding about that. Because, you know, Santeria was the official state religion of Maryland for five years.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: Google it.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: You'll find it on my official campaign website.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: So it's obviously true.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James: I'm sure Dr. Paul would agree with me.
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel:
Peter James:
"Dr. Paul's" Cocker Spaniel: Yeah, I'll bet. The man probably paid as much attention to your endorsement as he did to what appeared in his newsletter. You beat that Zionist Likudnik "Moshe" in the primary, which was more than enough for him. And it's my considered opinion that you have as much chance of joining the man in Congress as you have of seeing over 4000 vaginas, like the man himself.
UPDATE (5/13): In my previous update below, I said that I didn't take a screenshot of the Peter James campaign website before it was redesigned and the Santeria statement removed. But upon checking one of my other computers, I discovered that I actually did take a screenshot. Click on the image below to see a larger version.
UPDATE (5/10): Pillage Idiot gets results? I'm not sure, but...
Sadly, I didn't take a screenshot of James' website, because James's re-designed site now leaves out his claim that Santeria was once the official state religion. But I can leave you with this, from the site of Steve Schulin, the District 4 candidate of the Maryland Independent Party, whatever that may be:
Congratulations to Peter James for removing Santeria story from his web pageSchulin's entry (the "story discussed below") is this:
My opponent has removed the Santeria story discussed below from his web page. He has also removed his disclosure of how he intends to spend most of his time if elected to be our Representative. I don't know if he has changed his mind about his priorities. I hope he'll publicly elaborate on the matter.
A call to Peter James to back up what he says about the Santeria storyAnd here's a small screenshot from Schulin's site (in case that gets re-designed) quoting James's claim about Santeria. I've outlined the key part in red:
As part of trying to verify the interesting story offered by my opponent (as highlighted here a couple of days ago), I called up the Library and Legislative Services librarians at the state Department of Legislative Services in Annapolis. A very nice librarian named Anette found no evidence for the specific claim about the 1987 rider or the 1992 repeal. She also looked through the entire record of who had served in the state legislature and there is no Charles Highweather amongst them. She also searched her Department's clippings during the alleged repeal timeframe from Baltimore paper the The Sun. No mention. So I respectfully ask Peter James to back up the story or stop spreading it as if it were fact.
