Ron Paul is a true libertarian, registered as a Republican. That's why so many Republicans want to see him fail...he actually believes in the constitution rather than simply paying it lip service like most prominent Republicans do.
I know. I figured that out. I was a supporter of his when he ran for Congress. Thanks Jaz.
Good Points. 100% true conservative should love Ron Paul. The truth is many “so called” conservatives could not function without government in their lives. Ron Paul is so far to the right that most think he is a nut. Today the government is in everybody business unlike 75 years ago.
Every additional vote cast for the Mad Doctor in the primaries, every additional delegate he secures, will only help Team Obama in using his prominence in the nomination fight to discredit the entire Republican Party.
...and that's exactly what Paul wants to do....He's a Libertarian...not a Republican....and he's a traitor to the American people for his political views.
Ron Paul's 2002 Predictions All Come True - Incredible Video!
“Oil production is a result of national self-interest. Nations produce oil because they want MONEY. If we take away the military, the economic self-interest is still there. The oil production will continue. When it comes to energy security, I am a firm believer in the power of capitalism.”
Your premise is severely flawed. You believe we fought in Iraq for oil. Yet we took none and we got nearly zero oil contracts, as well.
When it comes to energy security, I believe in drilling in the United States.
Second question. If a government does things that are either unlawful, or immoral, or unwise or subversive... is it patriotic to accept those things with our mouths shut, and keep cheering them on? Or is it patriotic to point out when our government goes against the constitution they are sworn to uphold, and the principles this country is supposed to stand for?
If you answered "No" to the first question, America does NOT mean the current policies or actions by a particular administration, then please stop lying, because it is not "anti-American" to want honesty and accountability in our leaders. Only a fool, or brainwashed dupe would think something like that. In this example, those who are anti-American would be those within our government who do things that are unlawful, immoral and subversive.
Yes, you get it. A nearly 10-year military presence in Iraq did not benefit energy security.
I did watch the video as you urged. Hopefully others have as well.
Please see my post #35 to point out the hypocracy of the Republican faithful as they bash RP. At the same time no honest assessment of GW Bush, John McCain, O Snow, etc. Somehow their ‘shortcomings’ are to be overlooked because “you’re never going to get everything you want” or the favorite “you’re never going to get another Reagan”. So everyone’s supposed to ‘shut up, hold your nose and vote Republican’. Sorry Karl, it isn’t working anymore.
News sources now point out that Paul seems to have the support of ‘young people’. Maybe that’s because they understand the dire situation America’s in and aren’t in any mood to give up their freedoms and chance for economic prosperity.
Why worry about foreign policy when America itself is on the precipice of third world dictatorship? What GOPers (establishment, Congresspeople, or rank and file) are worried about the NDAA, TSA, food safety bill, proposed takeover of the internet...what happened to getting rid of obamacare?
Looking forward to it... seems they can’t tell the difference between conservative (site).. and .. well.. uhm.. their way ;)
Hmmm...National security?
Chertoff, Bush’s Homeland Security Chief was found to have people who entered this country illegally, wandering around the inside of his private residence...During war time no less.
Not scary enough?
More Muslims entered the U.S. legally during Bush’s term, than in the decade before.
During Bush’s term, upwards of 10 million people entered our homeland illegally...During wartime no less.
National security?
Thanks for allowing me to post this again John!
Wrong. I want him to fail because his foreign policy is naive and will get a hell of a lot of good people killed.
No dice...that video doesn’t say anything which ‘many’ didn’t already know...so quite trying to say Ron Paul is a great predictor of the future...he’s not..he is a NUTCASE...and continues to be.
People that follow this guy like he’s some sort of guru are obsessed and cannot discern reality.
So let’s get practical...for all the speaches Ron Paul gave to congress of what he wanted....name one they supported...just one...there isn’t any. He hasn’t obatained a single thing he’s asked for.
You just don't get it nor will you...Ron Paul isn't the standard the Republican Party uses...infact would do just about anything to get the guy out of the limelight he's managed to obtain with the media and the democratic push to get him out in front to make the party look like a bunch of idiots.
So why is the surrender monkey so opposed to putting up a fence to help keep the illegals out. Oh that is right, he is afraid it will keep Americans in. Perfect logic.
