“And that’s where you lost it.. look up baseline budgeting and get back with us...”

Sorry, but the money is already in the bill; earmarks just direct the funds in certain areas. And Paul has always voted against the spending bills. Can’t say that for most of the rest of the congressmen.

Thanks for sharing this input - it helps to know that there are people in the 14th that are not happy with Paul.

Believe it.

The second thing is that Paul is flooding the district with mailings. He’s probably mailed me 40 times in the past two months. He wouldn’t be doing that if he thought he was an automatic winner in the primary, and he has no Democrat opponent in November.

I don't know what area you're in but if you saw the Brazasport Fact today with a full page ad for Ron Paul paid for by Live Free Or Die and the Headline was Chris Peden supports Ron Paul and it was based on something nice Chris had said about RP when he was a City Council Member in Friendswood.

It was dirty politics IMHO and another reason for me to NOT vote for the doctor.

I’m on the west side, so I didn’t see that.

That ad doesn’t strike as being particularly effective. Peden wouldn’t be running if he supported Ron Paul’s election.

It just sounds stupid.

If anything, it gives Peden more name recognition.

“Throw the anti-American bum out.”

Just how does resisting unconstitutional legislation, nation building, and the plunder of our currency amount to “anti-American?” President Bush and posters like yourself have abandoned the party’s principles. Do you prefer giving Social Security benefits to illegals rather than phasing the unconstituional Ponsie scheme out, like Juan McCain? Do you believe we should invade Iran now? Why? Do you believe the Federal Reserve is a public institution? Where do you get your facts?

Only a true scoundrel would try to cut off funding for our troops in combat. Or defend someone who has tried.

If cutting off funding for our troops is not anti-American, then just what the hell is in your mind?

“Ron Paul votes against funding our troops in harm’s way.”

They have all the funding they need to pull out. Like he wants to snatch the armor off their backs? Get real. There is no “war” to win there. Which faction do we support? What about Bosnia? Are we supporting a Muslim war for independence, or a foothold for them in Europe? Hell, does it matter, we establish more U.S. airbases! What do you call the so-called war on terror, if it isn’t a blank check for “speading democracy,” which is what Bush campained against? Before you call me ani-American, my son’s been there three times. He and a good portion of the military are disgusted with this policy. Let’s bomb the shit out of everybody so we can rebuild their country! Makes sense only for the moneychangers and bombmakers.

“Moneychangers”?
Is that code for Jews?

I understand your hero Ron Paul shares that view...

No, it doesn’t mean Jews. Pick up a book sometime. Man, are you in the dark.

How interesting, when Ron Paul wins is district seat by over 65%, a search for Ron Paul turns up nothing on this site. Fair and Balanced, just like Fox.
