Ron Paul

[gamercrazer]

I think that RON, is going to SURPRISE a lot of people, by “WINNING” both IOWA, and NH . . . coming in 2nd. in SC. Should that happen, its going to give him a GOOD SHOT, an the nomination. Its going to send the “ESTABLISHMENT” Republicans, into a PANIC, but with a SOLID PUSH by the “REAL” TEA PARTY, it will DO, what needs to be “DONE”, to get RON . . . “ELECTED”, an with THAT, we ALL WIN.
what are your views/thoughts on Dr. Ron Paul?

[124nic8]

He's an extremist who will never get elected.

BTW, there's already a thread on RP.

[barnz008]

Pope John Paul? Paul Newman? Ron Jeremy?

Never heard of this Ron Paul you speak of. Has he been on the TV?

i did say Dr. Ron Paul, but to be more specific the congressman from Texas

[barnz008]

extremist?
on what?

Ending ponzi schemes. He's like those peeps that were the first to the lifeboats when the Titanic was sinking. The rest sunk to the bottom of the sea defending the this-ship-is-unsinkable mind virus.

Wouldn't it be cool to say your were delivered by the Pres of the US and A? :woot:

For one thing he imagines we can be the only modern industrial country w/o a central bank.

[vaultaddict]

CAPS.

ok

[gamercrazer]

he wants to end the Federal Reserve. and why can't we be a modern industrial without a central bank?

well that's a good thing. would you be in a house that is covered with flames that was suppose to be fireproof or get out the building?

[124nic8]

he wants to end the Federal Reserve.


Are you denying that's an extremist position?

No one else is doing it.

What makes you think it would work better when you have no examples of success?

We should experiment?

One more isn't going to hurt anyone. It can only help!:woot:

Considering that the Whirpool plant in Fort Smith, AR just laid off 1200 people, I'm willing to give just about anything a shot. Staying on this course is financial suicide.

no one else was doing what China did look how it is a super power. look where we are at by following what other past president's have been doing.

I think it's very unlikely that Ron Paul will get anywhere near the Republican nomination.

[gamercrazer]

I think it's very unlikely that Ron Paul will get anywhere near the Republican nomination.
unfortunately i think you are right. Obama will be re-elected and we will have another 4 years run by a puppet of the big banks

If there are enough who think like you then, yeah. But are there? That's a question that I'm not sure about the answer.

The good doctor is well meaning, but... let's just put it out there... crazy. Probably has Alzheimer's by now...

And this is why we can't have political threads here anymore. Instead of engaging in intelligent conversations about issues, some people resort to the lowest common denominator and hurl insults...likely because actually having a rational conversation is outside the scope of their cognitive abilities. Well done redmaxx and other posters.

im pretty sure the answer is he won't get nominated
and even for some computer glitch/miracle he gets nominated, it'll just mean 4 more years of obama (Damn)

whats the "debate" in this thread, why do you need to make a new ron paul thread?
you want a discussion, continue it in the old one.

You're late to the game. I already tried and got shouted down by the rabid Paul supporters here. They don't listen to reason.

So I just lay the facts on the table. Some/most of what he proposes is insane and will probably ruin this country. Take it for what it's worth.

If you think ending the FED is the most important thing on the agenda.... Sorry noone is going to vote for Paul...

Until the day comes when there is a OtFED ( occupy the FED ), this issue is a non-starter.. I don't care much or view the FED is any way that is so negative that I want it abolished.. So what if there is a central bank? There is alot better ways to protect the value of the currency then to abolish the FED.

And to the point of China economy being better then us? I like to know what econ book you been reading, cause you need to refund it or outright destroy it.. China economy or techincally its Yuan is only being prop up by the USD, once our USD goes belly up the whole Chinese economy is going to sink like the titanic.. China's Yuan is tied to the value of the USD and the USD is tied to the value of well "NOTHING ( unless you count the computer that made that extra 0 :)" = meaning China Yuan is as worthless as our USD once the whole show comes to a end.

Try putting the following on the agenda and maybe we can start voting correctly:
End all the WARS including our longest most failed war DRUGS
No more Patriot Act ( NO MORE POLICE STATE )
No more Presidental assassination
No more bailout to BANKS and CROOKED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Stop letting religion enter politics in any way shape or form

Then taken Paul out, who of the current list of potus'es who would you vote for then...:confused:

I can't name one. :sadwalk:

Well it doesn't work that way...;)

Ok so who would you WRITE in on the election form then, since the none of the above is your current choice

" Taxation is theft when you take money from one group and give it to another group , when you transfer the wealth........ The income tax is based on the assumption that the government owns you. Owns all your income and provides the conditions on which they allow you to keep a certain percentage. That to me is immoral and the founders didn't like it " Ron Paul VOTE FOR RON PAUL!

[Terrell]

unfortunately i think you are right. Obama will be re-elected and we will have another 4 years run by a puppet of the big banks

Would rather see that than any of the social conservatives. Now if the Rs could nominate someone who doesn't accept any of the policies that the religious right espouses, I'd consider voting for him. (Would have to be a social libertarian)

If there are enough who think like you then, yeah. But are there? That's a question that I'm not sure about the answer.

As far as I've heard so far, he's not leading in any of the primary states. He's going to need to win at least some states, to have a chance at all

There's always a need for taxes, as there are some services that the government has to provide such as defense, roads, police, & courts, and other things, people aren't going to do those things for free.

We should experiment?

If yes, do you believe such is the same as theft?

[124nic8]

" Taxation is theft when you take money from one group and give it to another group , when you transfer the wealth........

That's your personal definition.

In reality theft is illegal and taxes are not.

:nono: "The founders" liked amending the Constitution and it was amended to allow the income tax. That is the basis in spite of your opinion.

OP, please use one of the many existing RP threads to discuss him.
