PING * snicker *
Immigration ping.
And we wouldn't want to do that. LOL!
Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
(Even though Paul did appropriate some money for I-69.)
Being a DECLINE TO STATE voter in California means I can choose the independent ballot and not have a say in either the Rep or Dem primary, or I can ask for a Dem ballot. I think I’ll ask for the Dem ballot and write in the name of Ron Paul. That’ll learn ‘em!
Ron Paul is loved by all of our enemies.
After watching the dynamics of the GOP nomination head towards a McCain win over Romney, like many I started pondering how or if I would vote come November.
I share the disdain for McCain most others here at FR have for him, yet it’s still not as much as I have for Hitlary and the RATS in general.
I can easily see Ron Paul running 3rd party given his funds. I even started looking more closely at him.
At last nights debate in California I saw the need to look no further. He’s still a freaking lunatic of the scary kind.
So could it receive money from private donations?
I’d be curious to see what was more tollerable for FReepers; Ron Paul’s foriegn policy or McCain’s liberalism. It’d make a good poll.
Right on! The only guy that makes any sense at all for small government conservatives.
The Republican party says it’s for lower taxes. It isn’t. It passed
the largest federal budget in history, and even after it controlled
the White House and both houses of Congress, it failed to make a
dent in the federal tax burden.
The Republican party says it’s for limited government. It isn’t.
Not only has it failed to reduce the already ridiculous size and
power of government, it has drastically increased it.
The Republic party says it’s for individual liberties. It isn’t. It
created the biggest federal bureaucracy in history, and gave it all
sorts of new powers to spy on, detain, silence, and otherwise
harass Americans.
The Republican party says it believes in the Constitution. It
doesn’t. It has done absolutely nothing to try to correct the
mangling of the “commerce clause” to allow the federal government
to stick its nose in everyone’s business.
And when someone came along who really IS for lower taxes, limited
government, individual liberty, and a return to the Constitution,
how did the Republican establishment respond? By smearing,
demonizing, demeaning, marginalizing, and insulting him, and trying
to silence him. Even though that man is a Republican.
My question is, just how stupid are Republican voters? Just how
badly and how often do you need to be betrayed by the totalitarians
in the GOP (masquerading as “limited government” advocates) before
you stop SUPPORTING their collectivist crap?
“But the Democrats are even worse!”
No, they aren’t. They are IDENTICAL. The only difference is in
their rhetoric: the Republicans pander to those who want limited
government, and the Democrats pander to those who want the nanny
state to control and take care of everything. But in action, the
two are THE SAME. They are two faces of ONE group of power-happy,
war-mongering, fear-mongering, liberty-destroying
nationalist/socialists. The suggestion that THOSE are your only
choices is a classic tyrant trick. Unfortunately, almost all
Americans still fall for it.
Personally, I don’t believe in “limited government” any more than I
believe in “limited murder,” “limited rape,” or “limited armed
robbery.” But for those “limited statists” out there who still
believe in the Constitution, stop supporting its demise! If you
must vote, and Ron Paul loses the Republican primary—which the
Republican establishment is going to great lengths to ensure—vote
for him anyway. I don’t care whether he runs or not. Write in his
name. If instead you hold your nose and vote for the establishment-
appointed collectivist, YOU are the problem.
Yes, I am telling you to intentionally destroy the Republican
party, because it is an absolute fraud. Of course, the Democratic
power machine is equally fraudulent and evil, but by supporting
either of them—instead of telling them BOTH to go to hell—you are
ENABLING your own enslavement. Quit bickering over which crook is
worse, and just STOP SUPPORTING CROOKS. “But then the OTHER guy
will win!” So what? I would wager that NO ONE could tell, based
only on the legislation passed during the Clinton administration as
compared to that passed during the Bush administration, who was on
the “left” and who was on the “right.” The result is always the
same: more power for them, less freedom for you. By supporting
EITHER party, you prolong the lie, and assist in your own
subjugation.
There is only one person running for President who actually
believes in the Constitution, and look how hard his “own” party is
trying to silence him. And look who they have running AGAINST him:
several left-leaning, tax-and-spend socialists (Huckabee, Romney,
McCain and Giuliani). Every one of them is far left of JFK! Is that
really what “conseravtives” want? Who exactly is the Republican
party “representing”?
Anyone with their eyes open can see that the Republican
establishment doesn’t CARE what Republican VOTERS want. They are
still trying to milk the reputation of Ronald Reagan, while
viciously slandering anyone who sounds anything like him. They are
just as elitist as the Democrats, having nothing but contempt for
your freedom and what YOU want. When thousands of you said “We want
Ron Paul!” what did the Republican establishment say? “To hell with
you!” Well, it’s high time to return the compliment. Maybe the best
thing to come out of a Ron Paul presidential run will be a long
overdue unmasking and discrediting of the totalitarian elitists
club calling itself the Republican party.
