Mark Levin: Ron Paul’s interpretation of the Constitution Not always accurate

Radio talk show host Mark Levin says he couldn’t vote for Texas Rep. Ron Paul in the general election even if the Texas congressman were to somehow win the Republican nomination.

“I would have to write somebody in because Ron Paul’s foreign policy is so antithetical to traditional conservative foreign policy — whether it’s [Sen. Barry] Goldwater, whether it’s [President Ronald] Reagan,” Levin said in an extensive interview with The Daily Caller.

“You know, they like to point to [Sen. Robert] Taft in the 1950s. They have two or three conservatives they can point to. I have hundreds of conservatives I can point to … I find that [foreign policy] position to be the Kucinich-McGovern wing of the Democrat Party — it’s even extreme for them.”

Levin expanded his attack on Paul beyond foreign policy.

“I have other problems with him. I don’t think his interpretation of the Constitution is always accurate,” Levin said.

“I don’t believe in secession. I think that was resolved by the Civil War. A number of people around him, including Professor Thomas D. Lorenzo, are real [President] Abraham Lincoln haters — written a whole book on all the problems with Abraham Lincoln. Last time I checked, Abraham Lincoln is like Mr. Republican. And there are other things about the guy: His newsletters. I talk about his newsletters. Has anyone read his newsletters? They are stunningly disgusting. So there are just a number of things that cause me enough trouble as a conservative, who has been in the conservative movement longer than Ron Paul because Ron Paul has been in the Libertarian movement. No, I couldn’t vote for him.”

Blah blah blah, Mark.

"If Ron Paul is the nominee for the Republican Party then I will vote third party and allow Obama to win because I'm a single issue, partisan, Israel first, waste of a vote." Mark Levin

That's what I got out of that.

Also, Mark. Your interpretation of "Conservative Foreign Policy" is new to the Republican brand. Preemptive war is a Liberal Progressive idea. Also, why am I not surprised that you hold Lincoln in such high regard. Birds of a feather.......

What a failure that was....

I wonder how many people will see this video.

No doubt Levin's understudy Hannity will promote it

 

[Raudsarw]

Yeah, didn't you hear? The constitution actually means the opposite of what it says.

*IF* Ron doesn't win the nomination, I think it would be in our interests to give up on the debate over defining the word "conservative". Let them have it. It will have been so thoroughly corrupted in that case that it would be as asinine as trying to reclaim the word "liberal".

Meh

Mark Levin's definition of "accurate" is not always accurate.

“I would have to write somebody in because Ron Paul’s foreign policy is so antithetical to traditional conservative foreign policy — whether it’s [Sen. Barry] Goldwater, whether it’s [President Ronald] Reagan,” Levin said in an extensive interview with The Daily Caller.

When Islamic Jihadists blew up 283 Marines in Lebanon, Ronald Reagan did the only sane thing you could do.

He left.

And there are other things about the guy: His newsletters. I talk about his newsletters. Has anyone read his newsletters? They are stunningly disgusting

What horseshit, coming from a man who daily vents his hatred.

You'll be exposed to more "racism" watching All in the Family reruns, than by reading the newsletters.

 

[Original_Intent]

and he hold's Lincoln up as his hero, and the civil war "settled" whether a state has the right to secede or not (might makes right I guess) and he can name dozens of (neo) conservatives that Ron Paul is NOT like, and there are only a few (like Taft) that Ron Paul is like....and he says Ron Paul is not a Barry Goldwater type conservative, whatever Levin.

I'm gonna use that.

that's from about six months ago. they've been trending the same ever since, and now stand around half of where they were around the 2010 midterms. i'll try to find a source with updated numbers, but there was an article maybe a week or two ago on google about how the decline was accelerating during the primary season.

“You know, they like to point to [Sen. Robert] Taft in the 1950s. They have two or three conservatives they can point to. I have hundreds of conservatives I can point to …

Yeah, well, if Ron Paul - backed up by only Robert Taft & Russell Kirk - met Mark Levin & his 100s of allegedly "conservative" homies in a dark alley ...

... I mean, we're talkin' 'bout a "Big Trouble in Little China" style beat-down.

Having heard Levin's voice for a while and never seeing him, I lol'd when I saw him in that interview.

Mark Levin - Author of "Liberty and Tyranny" - We must keep the police state, monopoly money, and the war economy going if we are ever to achieve liberty, peace, and prosperity.

Commentators just like to her themselves talk. He will be the same person hating on anyone who votes third party or writes in Ron Paul, blaming them for getting Obama re elected. Secondly, the republican party was fairly new made up of the ex Whig party, ex free soldiers and members of the democrat party. It was far from perfect conservatism.

Yes he was, and that's the delicious irony of the whole thing. He's all about being a 'team player' just as long as it's the team he's paid to play on.

And he doesn't just like to hear himself talk. If he doesn't figure out how to keep people sold on war and tyranny, he will be kicked to the curb and maybe stuck away somewhere so he can't divulge who used to pay him to dabble in drivel. This is serious business to these people. They're losing their grip, and make no mistake--they ain't happy about it.
