History- Ron Paul "I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies" [ of GOP & Reagan ]

Libertarian Party News, March/April 1987 ^ | March/April 1987 | Dr Ron Paul

[John D]

He got over 10% in a good number of states. Over 10% in Iowa.

That is not surprising. In most states I am sure there are about 6% code pinkies, 3% queers, and 1% who hate America who would make up the 10%. Which group do you fit in, truther?

I’m a True Conservative, as is Ron Paul.

True Conservatives want a Limited Constitutional Government.

Ron Paul wants a Limited Constitutional Government.

[truthfreedom]

By the way, the queers are going for their hero Mitt Magic Underwear Romney, because they’re happy Mitt gave them gay marriage in Massachusetts.

Ron Paul is a phoney..

[John D]

Ron Paul wants a Limited Constitutional Government.

Cut and run wants what suits him. He supports the parts of the Constitution he likes, the others he doesn't.
When it comes to the parts protecting us from foreign invaders he prefers to ignore. He is like and ostrich, he thinks if he sticks his head in the sand long enough and ignores and appeases the terrorists long enough they will leave us alone. Well, they will not.

[John D]

I may not be a big Romney fan, but at least he has done something. Cut and run, in all the time he has been in Washington has accomplished absolutely nothing, except shove earmarks in every bill possible, blame America for every problem in the world, and push to destroy our military.
Romney may not be the ideal candidate, but he is not a surrender monkey who will bow down to terrorists.

[truthfreedom]

I get it now, you’re defending Romney, you’re a RINO.

Of course you don’t like Ron Paul, you don’t want Less Government.

You might not have noticed this, but a lot of people didn’t like Obamacare/Romneycare.

Those people are the same people who are considered part of the tea party. They don’t like Romney, and they do want Limited Constitutional Government. They don’t agree on foreign policy, but they do want to see smaller federal government. They’re the people who might like Ron Paul. (and other Conservative candidates) People who don’t like Obamacare/Romneycare. Republicans who like Obamacare/Romneycare would like Romney.

Not really. Paul betrayed paleolibertarians and white nationalists (not to mention all Americans) on immigration. He is either senile or without principle.

[John D]

I am still waiting, what has cut and run actually done in the 30 plus years he has been in Washington? Other than talk, blame America for every problem in the world, push for queers on the military, complain about killing a terrorist, blame Reagan for deficits, and put as many earmarks he can in every bill possible.

The older I get, the more I see how Reagan was trying to paddle upstream in a waterfall.

The only way you get out of the statist / humanist / secularist / socialist waterfall is

• hit rock bottom
• hope you survive
• get out of the river

If my pessimistic view of imminent history is true, maybe it would be better to just elect Ronald Romney and paddle downstream in the waterfall.

[truthfreedom]

Democrats and RINOs all want to grow government.
Ron Paul wants to shrink government.

Here’s some detail on earmarks and how they work and Ron Paul.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,508604,00.html
Ron Paul - “I have never voted for an earmark. I voted against all appropriation bills.”

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig7/phillips5.html
“An earmark is a congressional provision that directs federal agencies to spend funds already authorized on specific projects.
If the funds aren’t earmarked, the agencies can spend the money any way they see fit.
That is, the executive branch, rather than Congress, will determine how the taxpayer’s money is spent.”

http://www.ronpaul.com/2009-03-11/ron-paul-on-earmarks/
“What is done is those earmarks are removed and some of them are very wasteful and unnecessary,
but that money then goes to the executive branch.”

“We’re supposed to tell the people how we’re spending the money.
Not to just deliver it in the lump sum to the executive branch and let them deal with it.”

So much time and effort wasted on a guy who will only see the inside of the White House when he goes on a visit.
