"Proponents envision a ten-lane colossus the width of several football fields, with freight and rail lines, fiber-optic cable lines, and oil and natural gas pipelines running alongside. This will require coordinated federal and state eminent domain actions on an unprecedented scale, as literally millions of people and businesses could be displaced. The loss of whole communities is almost certain, as planners cannot wind the highway around every quaint town, historic building, or senior citizen apartment for thousands of miles.... The administration needs a strong message from Congress that the American people will not tolerate backroom deals that threaten our sovereignty. " (Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, "The NAFTA Superhighway")
Thanks
Bush forgets there is such a thing as a House of Representatives.
If the House of Representatives refuses to fund this monster project with our tax money, there will be NO superhighway.
What Bush wants and what he gets are two entirely different things just like his amnesty thing.
It would be downright rude not to.
Just want you to be aware the RQSR does not support or endorse ANY Candidate at this time. We are non committed, but I can state that from the beginning of Giuliani’s thoughts of running for POTUS we at the RQSR have posted “NO RUDY”, and we also believe at this point in time that Ron Paul would be a great guy to support if there weren’t Global issues of such consequence as there are today.
There is the pesky war on terrorism, as well the ongoing assault by Leftist interests on the American way of life that is also a Global conflict. Ron Paul seems to us of accurate, but unfortunately limited focus excluding World events that are of major concern. If you wish to come back on that one, kindly have some information ie; links etc. to prove he is a Globally oriented trouble shooter as well as Domestic.
Duncan Hunter, and Fred Thompson are both most interesting to the RQSR, however Duncan Hunter needs to kick his Campaign in the butt and raise the level of consciousness of the voting public as to himself, and Fred must get on the campaign trail NOW as he has worn out the preface phase.
I think that Ron Paul is unquestionably the best on all domestic issues (Anti-Abortion, Anti-Gun Control, Anti-Taxes, Anti-Spending), but I think that any one of these three (Paul, Tancredo, or Hunter) would do a good job protecting the Border and preventing Jihadists from coming INTO our Nation, which I believe is the Number #1 "National Security" issue. I also believe they are all smart, honorable, trustworthy Candidates; Ron Paul is simply my #1 guy.
I will not vote for Giuliani in any case. If he receives the GOP Nomination, I will vote Third Party in the Generals. I genuinely think he is that bad.
As always, JMHO.
The Washington Post recently reported that Giuliani Capital Advisors "was sold for an undisclosed amount as Giuliani was preparing his run for president." The Post article also discloses that Giulianis secretive lobbying firm, Giuliani Partners, has made more than $100 million over the last five years and that its clients "are required to sign confidentiality agreements, so they do not comment about the work they receive or how much they are paying for it.
Though now running for president, Giuliani refuses to identify his clients, disclose his compensation or reveal any details about Giuliani Partners. He also declined to be interviewed about the firm." The paper provided some details, based "on a review of corporate, government and court records, along with scores of interviews with clients and government officials who have interacted with Giuliani Partners."

MORE BACKGROUND Giuliani firm has Venezuela ties

The law firm headlined by presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani does business with a company tied to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush ``the devil.'' Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez. The Bush administration said last year that Venezuela was ''not cooperating fully'' with antiterrorism efforts, stopping one step short of grouping the country with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria and Cuba. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor best known for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, does not personally lobby for Citgo, though he is a senior partner at the firm and shares in its profits.

===============================
Global Rooty can't seem to get the message----a candidate who does not perceive issues through the prism of the red, white, and blue, gets his walking papers. So, let me be the first to tell Rooty----"thanks, but no thanks."
Nice addition, really draws the picture of Giuliani’s shadowy holdings and business interests.
>Regardless this is extremely serious, and although Ive been attempting to alert, make aware, ignite the flames, shine a beacon on this matter, (the NAU) my efforts seem to have failed along the way as most folks think Im nuts when I tell them about this topic.<
That’s the same reaction I get unless the listener is upper mangement of a large corporation, 2000 employees or more. They already have their multistep business plans in place for the eventual rollover to socialist globalism.
The other exception is bankers. The big commercial bankers are really on top of it. Even the small local banks are getting ready for this. They aren’t detail knowledge staffed but they are aware it’s coming.
It seems the more money someone is in charge of, the more they know about the NAU.
>>Ron Paul advocates United States withdrawal from the United Nations<<
That bit right there should make Ron Paul the obvious choice for President to every American.
Never accept tyranny
Bloody revolts are an option. But never Tyranny.
Ron Paul is correct on some issues, like this one, and totally clueless on others - like the war against Islamofascism which the current Administration, having started out well enough, is proceeding to bungle as it bungled Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, Fallujah and the border issue.
The U.S. cannot withdraw from Iraq. To do so would hand over to Al Quaida and/or the Iranians, oil wealth and prestige. It would detroy what little credibility this administration and the two before it had managed to NOT bungle.
The west is involved in a cultural/religious/military war with Islam. Iraq ia a battlefield in that war. Not only must we NOT pull out, we must triumph there and move on to destroy the Iranians, Syrians and those fanatics who comprise the majority of Pakistanis.
If we don;t, they’ll kill us or convert us from within or without and 2,000 years of western progress will be reduced to the level of the camel drivers in Afghanistan.
lots of great info liz. will look over it more in detail. thanks so much.
Thank you for the great post #27. Ping to GWB who’s tallying up some of this Giuliani dirt.
Bush needs to be watched close on all issues till he thankfully leaves office. The closer he gets to the end of his term the more reckless and the more sell out deals he will make. Any and all abuses and potential abuses need to be heard and dealt with in Congress & Republican Party grow a blasted spine howabout it. Of all the GOP members in congress Ron Paul again speaks up when it needs to be heard. It isn’t Ron Pauls turn for POTUS because of party politics it’s his time for POTUS because he has earned the job.
