Free Republic Poll leaves our candidates

Free Republic ^ | 11/6/7 | Free Republic

(11/6) Which one of the following candidates should pro-life conservatives rally behind to defeat the liberal abortionists Hillary and Giuliani?

[nsmart]

“ronpaul sees himself (or his supporters see him) as that idealistic emperor.”

Well, nothing could be farther from the truth. Paul would disassemble the empire including the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, he would allow a parallel money that could not be taxed (real money) and eliminate the income tax. He would do as Ron Reagan did and bring the troops home —remember the marine barracks?

We don’t see him as anything like a savior or an emperor. We only see him speaking truth to power.

“In political science, a guy much smarter than I am once said, “There is much to learn and little to do.” Ron Paul’s Big Plan is that there is no Big Plan. That is what Ron Paul stands for, and more importantly, what the club full of 20-somethings stands for. They don’t want any grand visions rammed down their throats and, more importantly, they don’t want to ram them down anyone else’s. They lack the egotistical arrogance that socialism requires for its implementation”

The GOP used to stand for that.. the feds should stop cramming grand central plans down our throat and the 20-somethings and a whole new group seeing something worth following are waking up to these ideas.

My smarts? you mean the movie lines?

I understand how you feel, and we all want to get rid of terrorism. Have you asked yourself why, if we are at such risk, Bush doesn't seem concerned with our open borders? We have done a lot already in Iraq, Saddam is gone, we cannot be there forever, it is costing not only lives but billions of dollars and we are going bankrupt.

As you said, our freedom is so precious, so if that is your concern, then please look at the fact that we have a number of unconstitutional, subversive agreements that are going through, and we are losing our country. Look at the link to the video I posted above, about the NAU. THAT is the threat, it's just one step closer to something that is very bad news for everyone. It's time to set aside partisanship, or party, and look at what is happening to our country and our constitution. Please.

If you don’t want to be treated like an enemy, don’t align yourself with the enemy. Ron Paul has done just that. You’re spamming us with enemy propaganda. This must stop.

Remember how the more frothing and intractable Rudybots were handled here, about six months or so ago...?

Good times, Jim. Good times. ;)

Ping, the cult of Paul is active today and the koolaid is flowing.

Have you asked yourself why we are at such risk?Sorry about the inexact quote.

We stand for freedom. The Jihadist can not tolerate freedom in their quest to spread their influence and religion over all.

NAU won't mean much if the vermin succeed in their stated goals.

Ron Paul offers no (sane) solution for being rid of terrorism. What I have made out of his policy "If we don't make them mad, they won't attack us."

The problem with this is our very existence and our culture that spreads through the world though movies, TV and the internet makes them mad. It makes them furious.

Will Ron Paul stop our cultural influence at the border so we don't make them mad?

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

BS!!!

[nsmart]

BS? Boy scouts?

[incindiary]

Your sole purpose seems to be to find any way to attack or smear Dr. Paul. He has said the same things and voted the same way for decades. His position has not changed. Unlike most politicians, he has a long and proven record of being consistent, and honest. He is ANTI-NAU, and was one of the co-sponsors for H.CON.RES.40 .

What you brought up was already addressed by someone else here, so you seem to want to just throw it on the wall to see if it will stick. I'm not Paul's spokesperson, but from what I have heard, the funds were for research, or a feasability study, because the TTC has been railroaded without proper channels. Earmarks bring it to light and get Congress involved at some level.

Why aren't you concerned with the politicians who are actually pushing for the NAU?

[Bobbisox]

Thank you! This Ron Paul thing is beginning to get a little rediculas. This is a serious site for Conservative activism...not RINOISM!

[darkwing104]

Ping, the cult of Paul is active today and the koolaid is flowing.

Big time.

[Neenah]

Ron Paul will be appearing as Percy Kilbride as Pa Kettle !! LOL

[nsmart]

Have you heard of ‘Read the Bills’ Act? Imagine.. you have to read the bills and have to put the complete bill on-line for 7 days on the Internet before the vote.

We have the Internet now; no more excuses .. like “I didn’t know the Real ID was inside that bill”. but we need an ARMY to force the issue.

[mnehring]

Paul was also one of the first funders of the TransTexas Corridor.. sneaking in funding throught he backdoor while he claims to be against it. He has the distinct advantage of being on every side of a lot of issues, yet people like you give him a pass.

So, why has Paul voted over and over again to prevent the military and national guard from securing our border? Why did he say a border fence ‘isn’t that important’?

Paul is a moderate libertarian opportunist.

“I knew Pa Kettle and Ron Paul is no Pa Kettle”

Here is some information about your paulmessiah. (this is just the tip of the iceberg, pinging some others who have gathered a lot of info on the Real Paul)

Don't be fooled.. Paul is no Conservative. Votes speak louder than rhetoric.

Ron Paul's 2006 American Conservative Union rating: 76% Lifetime Rating: 82.3%

Ron Paul's Voting Record (ya, ya, I know, there is an excuse for all of these, state's rights are more important than stopping abortion and fixing the border, Ronnie is making a statement, or everyone else was voting against it and he was just playing the game, yadda, yadda, yadda)

Here are some more ‘Conservative(sic)’ votes by Paul:

Voted NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes.

Voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research.

Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion.

Voted YES on funding for alternative sentencing instead of more prisons.

Voted NO on more prosecution and sentencing for juvenile crime.

Voted NO on military border patrols to battle drugs & terrorism.

Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.

Voted NO on allowing vouchers in DC schools.

Voted NO on passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy.

Voted NO on implementing Bush-Cheney national energy policy.

Voted YES on barring website promoting Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.

Voted NO on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects.

Voted NO on reforming the UN by restricting US funding.

Voted NO on requiring lobbyist disclosure of bundled donations.

Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits about obesity against food providers.

Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers

Voted NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse.

Voted NO on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1.

Voted NO on emergency $78B for war in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Voted NO on $266 billion Defense Appropriations bill.

Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers.

Voted YES on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers.

Voted NO on promoting work and marriage among TANF recipients.

Voted NO on treating religious organizations equally for tax breaks.

Let's also not forget Paul's Pork Projects (that he voted for before he voted against when he calls them unconstitutional but he is just playing the game when he submits them because everyone else does it.. yadda yadda yadda..)

Paul also supported the NAU superhighway by funding the TransTexas Corridor

[RockinRight]

By buying into the 9/11 “Truther” conspiracy BS?

[nsmart]

LOL. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment.. voting for waiting period changes, etc. is an oxymoron.

By the way Canada’s The Walrus magazine: “Ron Paul’s ultimate impact on the tone of the race is hard to predict; many of the themes of his campaign would be hard for other Republicans to get behind. (Except perhaps Mitt Romney, who can apparently get behind anything.) But we can safely predict that as you read this, Paul’s opponents are parsing his campaign, trying to figure out which nerve he touched and how they might do the same. Ideas and positions that weren’t considered politically viable two weeks ago are right now getting a second look — and the Republican Party leadership had nothing to do with it.”

The campaign is changing on both sides because he is speaking about real issues. If only for that benefit, god bless him.

[mnehring]

While you are on your journey of discovery about the real Paul, I suggest you read Paul in his own words, at least his words he doesn’t want you to remember, from accusing our troops of war crimes, to defending terrorists, to saying Reagan was in bed with Commies.

Paul has refused to release these newsletters but unfortunately for him, not everyone destroyed their copies. (Thanks to LSUFan)
