Ron Paul: Heterosexuals 'Causing More Trouble Than Gays' In The Military

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said that heterosexual military servicemembers were "causing more trouble than gays" due to their superior numbers in an interview with the Iowa State Daily released Wednesday.

"Well, like I said, everybody has the same rights as everybody else, so homosexuals in the military isn't a problem. It's only if they're doing things they shouldn't be, if they're disruptive. But there's ... men and women getting into trouble with each other too. And there's a lot more heterosexuals in the military, so logically they're causing more trouble than gays. So yes, you just have the same rules for everybody and treat them all the same," he said, according to the paper.

Paul was one of five House Republicans to vote for the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which officially ended in Septmber, and among 15 House Republicans in December. "To discharge an otherwise well-trained, professional, and highly skilled member of the military for these reasons is unfortunate and makes no financial sense," he said in May.

2. Ron Paul is such a deceptive person...
And most of the drones that live & die on his every word are too ignorant to see it!

When Ron Paul says "everyone has the same rights as everyone else" he only speaking in terms of the Federal Government...What he wants & believes is the States should not be bound to the bill of Rights & wants to return to the pre-Civil War days where States could set up Christian Theocracies & install religious test for anyone running for office. Corporations should be able to regulate themselves, no EPA or ADA or FEMA or Dept. of Education & on & on & on!

Try explaining this to a Ron Paul drone & their heads will explode! Most of them only hear legalize pot & no wars...But they go dumb after that.
