The problem for them is -- they never will get the money; it always finds another home. With the debt and deficit ballooned out of sight, that money isn't heading in their direction. The naturally productive ones will eventually grow up and realize the truth about living in a safe, free market society but many will hang fast to the hope (libertarians for sure) that once the "war on drugs" and the "evil military complex have their wings clipped, some of those trillions of wasted dollars will certainly flow to them. It won't and their lot will be worse. We have for too long been building me-me-it is generations, whose values and goals are nurtured and fanned by teachings of socialist professors spawned in the Sixties who have multiplied themselves with our youth.
So Ron Paul is their cup of tea. Theyre only one step away from OWS (most likely have a foot in both camps already). If Ron Paul definitively said, "I will not run third Party," much of his support would evaporate today. Which is precisely why he has not ruled it out.
She hates muslims?
Well, it looks like she gets my vote.
Dec 2011: The Company Ron Paul Keeps - "Meet Alex Jones"
Bachmann hates Muslims? Well, at least she’s got that going for her.
Paul’s ignorance concerning the Muslim “faith” is stunning. They ARE all bad. The basic tenet of the faith is to kill anyone who won’t convert. If a Muslim became good, he wouldn’t be a Muslim any longer.
What? Oh, Ron Paul .... uh, never mind
Geeeez. I was hoping I could vote for Paul, should the NDAA indefinite detention provisions be signed into law, but after that performance, I guess not.
So, if we kill other people with our bare hands, this should be allowed, since we are doing with our own bodies what we want?
An age Paul reached several years ago...
Michelle hates Muslims? Well good on her.
The reason Ron Paul can never get elected to higher office is... He opens his mouth.........
I'd go along with this if the pro pot crowd would go along with paying for their own medical attention and joblessness that results from doing with their own bodies what they want.
Did Paul remind them that that's part and parcel of his "do what thou wilt" beliefs. Did they give him a standing ovation for that stance? Of course not.
They just want to get stoned and then have everyone else pay their way through life.
Bunch of freeloaders.
Good post.
Hope the responders don’t get sidetracked...your point wasn’t that it’s good to hate all Muslims, and that if she hates Muslims like Ron Paul said, she should be considered presidential material.
Paul is a malevolant political force, not a force for political good.
Whether Bachmann hates Muslims or not is a total red herring. Paul’s point was that she’s too anti Iran.
Absurd. The other candidates have just as well recognized and spoken to that Iranian threat against Israel, the entire Middle East, Europe and America. Paul is just miffed that she went after him so strongly in the last debate.
He could just as well have accused every candidate of hating Muslims, because all of them except him understand the problem Iran represents.
We could say the same about Iran if they weren’t a Muslim country but were acting this way.
I don’t hate all Muslims. I totally disagree with and oppose the religion. I’m wise enough to see that some Muslims actually fight with us and die in the same cause we do, against al quaida and the Taliban, for example.
That has nothing to do with who should be President of the United States, except for sure it shouldn’t be Ron Paul.
Paul attracts the young, primarily, because the young are looking for pie in the sky solutions to real problems that trouble society and trouble them personally. The young are lured by the false promise of...just follow this person, or just follow that idea...and the things that you’re concerned about will be fixed and will be wiped away.
As CW pointed out, one of their big concerns is the allocation of resources and how that will affect their lives now, and in the near future. Another big concern is possibly being sent to war.
The only brightness I see in the clouded Iowa Caucus picture if Paul wins or does very well there, it will discredit the importance of that process in terms of letting it guide what others should do in states with real primaries.
People need to back up, and refocus on what this election is truly all about - a freedom killing, job killing, all powerful Federal Government - and who can get us where we need to go as a country.
And thinks this is bad, why?
He’s imploding, thank God.
Nothing wrong with that in my book.
Doesn’t she know it’s only hip to hate Americans?
Merry Christmas
Just watch and see how the crazy leftist posing as Paulites try to take over the IA straw poll sites like Obama did in 2008 .
They will storm and take over the stage at each site and scream and yell and intimidate
All other votes there.
These Paulites are mostly code pink linked nutters who want to
Cause chaos in the GOP primary and at the convention.
Obama ‘s storm troopers were quite effective in Tx and Wa straw poll using this tactic!
Perry doesnt hate Muslims. He helps them build Mosques and says It is a great honor to be in the presence of the Imam of 16 million Muslims. Perrys attitude towards Muslims is a danger to this country.
Young people are principled, said Paul adding that after a while you get mixed up.
I always wonder what was the cause of Paul’s positions but I see he explained it in the above quote.
