Washington, DC: Congressman Ron Paul has been recognized as a top advocate for taxpayers in the U.S. Congress for the tenth year in a row, earning the nonpartisan National Taxpayers Unions annual award as a "Taxpayers Friend" for 2005. Only 30 of 435 members in the U.S. House of Representatives earned similar honors last year.
The annual NTU rating is based on critical congressional votes relating to federal tax, spending, and regulatory issues. Paul consistently ranks at or near the top of NTUs scorecard in terms of his pro-taxpayer votes.
Overall, however, Congress is slipping when it comes to serving the least-represented special interest of allAmerican taxpayers.
"If every member of Congress voted like Representative Paul, Americans could enjoy much lower taxes and less waste in government," stated NTU President John Berthoud. "Overburdened taxpayers in Texas and across the nation owe Mr. Paul a debt of gratitude for his hard work on their behalf."
"While many Members of Congress talk about reducing the size of government, Representative Paul backed up those words with votes. This award proves that he is a consistent and effective ally in our battle to restore fiscal responsibility to Washington."
This is a thread about Paul's exemplqary record on taxes. Would you care to add your thoughts on that?
I wasn't aware of that; but the identity of convicted Terrorist Jamal Jafaar Mohammed, as well as Al Dawa's role in various anti-American terrorist attacks, has been reported in numerous international news outlets.
If you think it important, I'll go ahead and re-source some of the links for my next Posting.
He has a great record on taxes, so does GW. Same posters here that praise Ron for his taxes, don't GW. Why is that? Are lower taxes going to keep you alive? No. BTW, there are links provided by the poster about the Iraq war, thus makes this a thread about that too.
It is an interesting exercise in futility to keep asking the Paul haters if there are any domestic policies in which they disagree with Paul on. They simply ignore your question and ramble on about his Iraq stances.
You find one or two sources you consider objectionable, and suddenly it's "All" my information?
Now you're just telling blatant lies, and you know it.
The identity of convicted Terrorist Jamal Jafaar Mohammed, as well as Al Dawa's role in various anti-American terrorist attacks, has been reported in numerous international news outlets. Since it will deprive you of such sleazy lies, I'll go ahead and re-source my links for my next Posting.

Left wing propaganda postings are very important. To be weeded out, that is.
Because those on the left and right are opoosed to this war...granted...there are a lot of leftist, hate-America types in the anti-war camp...but, certainly not all of us.
Someone once posted on here that the anti-war left was anti-war because they believe the rest of the world is too good for America...the anti-war right is anti-war because we believe America is too good for the rest of the world...and I think there is a lot of truth in that
How does one get nominated to Select Committees? (I honestly don't know). Are they appointed? Volunteer? Voted?
What are your views on Ronald Reagan, since his image is posted abovve next to Ron Paul's? He sure as hell was no isolationist.
Thanks for the good, and very circumspect, advice. It's much appreciated, I can't do this all by myself. ;-)
There's an abundance of sources of information on the terrorist acts of Jamal Jafaar Mohammed in particular and Al Dawa in general. I'll re-Source my links for the next Thread.
Hey, I'm the first one to bash Bush when he deserves it, but I think that he's been really good on taxes too. His spending has been borderline retarded though.
So far, Ron Paul and his co-sponsor Anna G. Eshoo are the only Congressmen pushing for this. The rest of the House is just sitting on it.
Letting our missing troops rot.
This would be a good time for you to start calling Reagan a "Cut and Run Coward" for leaving Beirut in 1984.
I'd like to see that in really big red text, if you could.
I have said it many times on other threads when their has been Ronald Reagan supporters bashing GW for his handling of the Iraq war. I think that was the bigeest failure by Ronald Reagan, and I have no problems bashing him over it.
Ditto and Ditto (Taxes & Spending)
>>>>It is an interesting exercise in futility to keep asking the Paul haters if there are any domestic policies in which they disagree with Paul on.
I'm very intrigued about his domestic policies. I'm extremely confused by his foreign. Hence is why I'm on the ping list and reading these threads.
Those big red words exposing Ron Paul really bother you and his supporters because he is exposed for his votes on the WOT. I will keep doing it when I see fit.
Ron Paul actively fights unConstitutional legislation. It's amazing that he is the exception rather than the rule.
Well, that answers your question of why I posted Ron Paul and Reagan together (well, that and the fact that Ron Paul was the leader of Ronald Reagan's electoral delegation from Texas in 1976).
Ron Paul believes in the wisdom of Ronald Reagan's approach to foreign policy, and you don't.
Ron Paul is a Reagan Republican, and you're not.
