I think Paul is nuts.

But if he did what he says then yes his proposals would be huge.

I just saw that possible 4th and posted before I saw this post. I’m not sure I have an air strike graphic.

Can you name a bill that Paul sponsored which called for the cutting of anything?
Can you name a single budget that Paul was present for that he did not add millions of dollars of earmarks for his benefit (reelection)?
Just asking.

Speaking for myself, I seek accurate information regarding all current GOP candidates, including Ron Paul. Push come to shove, however, I would vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for Zero.

As for Ron Paul, I appreciate his consistency when it comes to a limited Constitutional government as envisioned by our forefathers. I do not find it troubling to hear him suggest our footprint in foreign affairs may be overreaching in terms of our means, intentions, and interests. You can make use of bees if you don’t continually swat their nests. To swat their nests expecting obedience and adulation, now *that* is truly “kooky.”

To all

Now here is a mystery! When the GOP got control of the House in 2010 that elevated Paul to be the House banking chair. Given all his griping about the Fed I expected hearings, reports and headlines about auditing it with publicly released or at least leaked audit reports or Paul on TV demanding audits and pointing fingers at those responsible for stopping the audits. Instead we got nothing! The House banking committee's AC made more noise! Given that, I am inclined to believe that Paul is indeed a hypocrite on these issues, therefore his earmark hypocrisy is also true. (I am not even motivated to check!) Why should anyone believe anything he says? A 32 year Congressional career, a career where he talked big, made a lot of noise but actually accomplished very little (Aside from the "earmarks"!) and he is NOT a "insider", please,'Does not Compute!'

Here is the link, Paul is one of about 20 people who received 98%, I wouldn’t vote for them either. Paul’s life time rating is 83%.

So Paul or Romney? LOL. And Ron Paul consistent? They only thing he is consistent on is being crazy.

I have principles and voting for either Romney or Paul EVER would violoate those principles. And, no, that doesn’t mean we have to have 4 more years of Zero. There are other options, viable ones, on the table.

About every hour, the Ron Paul Cuckoos pop out. This thread may be zotted before the clock strikes noon.

Libertarians are NOT Conservatives. Go away!

Yes. Thank you. That’s the source I’ve been using. Whether those figures are accurate, who knows.

Ron Paul is a NUTTT! Total LUNATIC NUTTT JOB! He is not a normal NUT...He is a TRIPLE T NUTTT! Personally, I am learning to despise the silly dangerous creep.
