Ron Paul Is Insane
http://www.fairtax.org/site/News2?news_iv_ctrl=1521&page=NewsArticle&id=8257
We continue to thank Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, Mike Gravel, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, John Cox and Fred Thompson (yes, it is true!) for their continued support of the FairTax.
According to Fairtax, Ron Paul does support Fairtax.
If you've never heard of Ron Paul, he's the internet superstar that everyone wants to be the next president in 2008. He's a staunch republican and electing another GOP member is the best decision you'll ever make.
Ron Paul supports a smaller government. Ron Paul was OPPOSED to the Patriot Act and Iraq War, as I'm sure all of you are now. He must be able to see the future, because he was smarter than all of us. Free speech is supported by him, but I'm pretty sure every candidate supports free speech, so that's not much to say. The Mexico border will be completely secured under his watch and he supports kicking them all out. Gun nuts LOVE Ron Paul and he's "the only 2008 presidential candidate to earn Gun Owners of America's (GOA) A+ rating." That's about it though.
He sounds like a great guy, doesn't he? I mean, okay, maybe we went a little wrong with electing a republican last term. Ron Paul is different though. Ron Paul supports the little guy. That's why 99% of his campaign funds came from citizens, and not big corporations. I'm getting sick writing this pro Ron Paul section. I'm going to stop here and elaborate on the state of his sanity. He's also the devil.
One major beef with Ron Paul is the federal income tax. Instead of income taxes once a year, based on how much you earn, he supports raising the National Sales Tax for all of America. He claims to be against raising taxes, but just look at the numbers and how it affects the average citizen. The current sales tax in Chicago is 9%. You get a hamburger at McDonalds, buy a snickers bar at Walmart, you pay 9% in taxes. Ron Paul wants to raise that number to 23%. Who is the primary consumer that this will affect? The middle and poor class. They're the consumers and would have to pay 14% more for everything. The tax is flat for everyone, but should you pay the same tax rate as some guy who makes 6-7 digit figures every year? While everyone else gets in the ass in sales tax, Ron Paul and his buddies don't have to pay a cent in income taxes for their percentage of income they earned that year.
The man is a strong believer of prayer in school. Never mind that church and state bullshit. Funding same-sex adoption? Nope. Gay Marriage? Ron Paul won't stand for that. He supports the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, because as long as he doesn't know you are gay, he'll let you fight and die for a country that won't even let you adopt a kid. For some reason he's against birth citizenship, because he hates the fact that once someone is born here they become a citizen. I mean a baby doesn't even speak the language yet, and he certainly can't vote for Ron Paul in the upcoming election. That baby is worthless to him. He strongly believes that building a giant fence will keep Mexicans out of his yard. The modern era of the 21st century has no way of bypassing walls.
He supports overturning Roe v. Wade, his reasoning being that the Federal government is not authorized to decide such controversies. So in order words, Ron Paul hates the fact that the government allows people to get abortions. Instead, he's now going to use the government to disallow people from getting abortions. Irony is not in Ron Paul's dictionary.
If you thought George Bush hated black people, you've never heard what Ron Paul has to say about them.
"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."
Nearly every black person is a criminal.
"Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
If you don't agree with Ron Paul 100%, you aren't sensible.
"Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action."
He supports lowering the age to prosecute black youths as adults too.
"black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such."
Don't worry though, Ron Paul hates all minorities equally, including Jews.
"by far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government."
To sum it up, Ron Paul puts Strom Thurmond to shame.
Ron Paul supports quiting NATO. You see, Ron Paul actually believes in the following:
"Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations."
The United Nations was uhh, pretty against the war actually. That's why half of Europe didn't stupidly jump into Iraq. In fact, Donald Rumsfeld said he hated most of 'old' Europe for not supporting us blindly.
"You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't," he said. "I think that's old Europe."
New Europe was mostly made of small, insignificant countries, that supported us during the war. Too bad they didn't have much soldiers or supplies to send, but thanks for the moral support. Ron Paul didn't support invading Iraq though. He instead decided we would be better off using Letters of Marque and Reprisal because the terrorists committed "air piracy." That just screams "jackass." It's the equivalent of a poster that says, "Wanted Dead or Alive." I know the man is conservative, but christ, there are more effective methods than relying on the criminal justice system of the old west.
If you saw Sicko recently, you may have felt that the United States needs universal health care. Ron Paul is so against that idea, that he supports 100% free trade of the health market. They can even charge more to profit off of people's health, because they aren't already making enough money. Have fun trying to pay medical bills and the 23% sales tax, while Ron Paul laughs his way to the bank. If nothing convinces you that Ron Paul is the spawn of Satan, explain this:
Do you have a philosophical belief that every American should have health insurance? Have access to health coverage?
Ron Paul's response:
I think you've stated it correctly and they should, but I don't see it as a right.
He suggests that poor people save up if they want to afford to see a doctor. Fuck you, Ron Paul. You're a worthless, hate mongering, son of a bitch, and you didn't have a chance at being elected anyways.
Further Reading: Ron Paul Doesn't Deserve Your Vote
lol universal health care means nothing! You just shift who is paying for it, then complain when you pay 23 cents more for a double cheeseburger so the guy who doesn't want to work and pops 99 percocets a week can get his liver transplant.
"The United Nations was uhh, pretty against the war actually."
Uhhh yes, and so was ron paul. Ron paul didn't say "must obey president" did he?
Ron paul doesn't have all of the answers, but he is better than the alternatives
and to completely obliterate any point you might have actually made...
If you are not spending 25% of your income to the government, does a 13% increase in sales tax not still benefit you greatly? And did Ron Paul say he was only going to tax hamburgers and walmart trips? So save your money more and stop eating mcdonalds and being a consumer freak! He is doing you the favor! My guess is Ron Paul will pay the same sales tax as you YES. If he makes more money than you, and that is his RIGHT! It is not his fault that you make less money than him. He wants the government taking less of your money blindly. 23% is a very universal tax on goods where there is no income tax. Exported and Luxury items are taxed more heavily, and plentiful and reproducible, eco friendly items are taxed less.
Do us a favor. Exit the internet to the left, please.

Ron Paul becomes richer, you stay poor, your choice. To "completely obliterate" your point about universal health care, I won't go bankrupt if I have to pay 23 cents more for a cheeseburger. I will go bankrupt if I have to pay a $200,000 medical bill if I get sick. If the United Nations was opposed to the war, then why would Ron Paul be opposed to the United Nations? Hamburgers and walmart trips were examples of every day things we buy, but I'm sure you realize that. If Ron Paul pays the same tax as me, I'm pissed. 10% of his income is nothing compared to 10% of mine in terms of value and spending power per person. For some people, 10% could mean whether or not food will be on the table, and Ron Paul has no problem with taking that from them.

Wow, that's a great post. Just a couple of points.
1. "he supports raising the National Sales Tax."
Ron Paul wants to eliminate the IRS "and replace it with NOTHING." He's never supported or voted for raising any tax.
2. "For some reason he's against birth citizenship."
Birthright citizenship is one of the main incentives for illegal immigration. They want to have their baby here.
3. "he's now going to use the government to disallow people from getting abortions."
Ron Paul wants the federal government to stay out of it. Such involvement is prohibited by the tenth amendment.
4. "He supports lowering the age to prosecute black youths as adults too."
Ron Paul apologized for that article. He didn't write it himself, but accepted full responsibility for it being published. However, as most journalists have noted, those words don't match anything else Ron Paul has ever said, written, or voted for. And the writing style is not his. Still, he was in charge, and accepts full responsibility.
5. "Don't worry though, Ron Paul hates all minorities equally, including Jews."
Pointing out that a foreign government is lobbying for money does not equal racism.
6. "The United Nations was uhh, pretty against the war actually."
But our leaders used Saddam's violation of UN resolutions as justification for invading, which is illegal according to our Constitution.
7. "It's the equivalent of a poster that says, Wanted Dead or Alive."
Well, the current strategy hasn't resulted in Osama's capture. How about trying the constitutional strategy?
8. "He suggests that poor people save up if they want to afford to see a doctor."
He also points out the history of charity-based care before (and after) the government took over. And it's not just rhetoric. Dr. Paul provided discounted and free care to his less fortunate patients.
I just wanted to clear up those issues. Other than that, your post is wonderful.

Jeez, how old are you, 13? Please read up on the fundamentals before writing this sort of incoherent trash and posting it on Digg. You are making a complete fool of yourself, even by Air America's quality standards. Stick to Linux distro reviews.

HAHAHA people who actually think Ron Paul will win the presidential election are calling ME a fool. You guys are too much.

You are wrong on just about every point you make, and citing Michael Moore as anything other than a Red Herring only seals the deal - you do not know a thing about what you're discussing.
This country has a rule book and it is called The Constitution. It was written by men MUCH smarter than you. Read it. Then vote for the only *constitutionalist* on the ballot: Ron Paul.
"The UN was against the war." If you believe that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. I'd advise you to stop typing and read a few thousand history books before you utter more nonsense. War is the health of the state, and there is no state bigger than the UN. It was created by the central banks as a "solution" to war, but look at it fail to invade the country that violates the most UN resolutions: Israel. The UN is the camel's nose, openly stated to be the house of a One World Government, ie: the NWO. If you know ANYTHING about history you know that putting all your eggs in one imperial basket is an act of suicidal stupidity. National sovereignty is like water tight doors on a ship - a leak in one compartment can be contained, and the ship doesn't sink. Not so under a global currency, global markets, or global government. Construct any fallacious rebuttal you like, you'll still be wrong, for one cannot rebut facts with wishful thinking (such as socialized medicine, or "your 'right' to a doctor's labor").
No, you fail. No history = no perspective.
So, you know, the socialist weasels who have been pumped out of college humanities courses cannot understand a libertarian populist revolution, and we don't care. We have guns, gold, food, water, and land. You have a condo, and a nanny state that *innately* loathes you.
Lemme know how that works out for you. ;)
08-19-2007
Yes, I agree, poor people should DIE if they can't afford a doctor. Screw them, let's only worry about ourselves. I like it how you tell me universal health care is wishful thinking, while almost every modern western country has done it. Wishful thinking is more like you guys actually believing Ron Paul will get rid of the income tax or even win the election.

Wow Gary,
I was supporting Ron Paul but now after reading your comprehensive & lucid article I don't think I can anymore...I guess I'll vote for Fred Thompson.
NOT!
We'll see just how unelectable Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is when he wins the Republican nomination.
Fight on Ron! Fight on!

Israel is not a race. Zionists are not a race. Zionism does not represent the majority of Jewish people. Not even close. Zionists try to play the Jew card to avoid criticism. Anybody person who criticizes Zionism or the policies of Zionist Israel are always labeled as being anti-semitic. Most American Jews could not give a crap for Zionism or Israel, and this little smear campaign is not going to work. Zionism itself is racist and Zionists and Zio-Nazis. Ron Paul is right about Israel, no matter how you try to spin it.

Interesting look at Ron Paul. It does seem that he would make a poor president. Also you need an RSS feed.

Wow, you must not know Ron Paul at all! Where do you get your information from? Ron Paul was just interviewed on newsweek (http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1321252644/bclid1333255032/bctid1335581372) and said gays should be able to marry and do whatever they want ... he actually believes marriage should not have anything to do with the state and should be between 2 people and their faith (like it was in the early 20th century). Also he is AGAINST a wall between the US and Mexico (where do you get he ever wanted one?) He wants to get rid of the incentives to Illegal immigrants such as free school and health care and birthright citizenship .... if you're breaking the law birthright citizenship should not apply to your children. And where do you get he wants to increase the sales tax? He has never said that. All states charge a different sales tax and they always will do that ... where do you get 23% from? He wants to make health insurance much cheaper not more expensive. He wants to make all medical expenses tax deductible (in the meantime until the irs is gone completely, which would take a long time). I currently own a business and i can't even right off my medical insurance and fees, it's a joke. Health care is not regulated by the free market right now and that is why it is so expensive ... Ron Paul wants to eliminate the power of the pharmaceutical giants and gov't that dictate insurance prices and competition leading the high cost of insurance and drugs today. Also he is in favor of all college kids paying no federal income tax while in school so it is easier for them until the irs is completely gone (definitely helping the poor and not the rich). He is all about less taxes for all. And this thing that the poor and middle class are the only consumers? Actually the rich are consumers as well and the rich consume way way more than the rest as they have lots more disposable income to consume with. Ron Paul is not in favor of an increase in sales tax (fair tax) which is what Huckabee wants! Please get your facts straight!

are you retarded?
ron paul talks about his beliefs all the time, but he never talks about making them laws.
he supports the constitution and does what the people want, he's an actual public servant and you're against that?
interesting.
12-19-2007
Then explain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_the_people_act
That's basically Ron Paul acting on his beliefs and trying to make it a law

You're an idiot.
02-13-2008I'm going to guess that was Pakosz
02-13-2008My daddy would never do this,or say this, this is bull-crap!!!!
Just like me not being related to Ron Paul =O)
There is a number of issues I completely disagree with you about. First is how you spoke of the FairTax. With the FairTax there will be a 23% embedded retail tax. This may seem like a lot but considering the fact that you won't have to pay the unconstitutional income tax there is really no difference except for the fact that you are paying taxes when and how you want instead of the govt. stealing your money. You also get a prebate that will cover costs up to poverty level so it won't affect the poor and why do you think it is ok to punish success? You believe in punishing hard work. Why should the rich be punished? Another thing is abortion. What gives anyone the right to get pregnant and then take their own baby's life? If someone shoots a women carrying a baby that person would be charged for the death of two people. What is the difference when a women kills the baby she is carrying? You put Ron Paul down for not caring about kids. If you want the health care to go down the drain then yes Universal Healthcare is a good thing. If you want an example look at Canada. The waiting list could be up to 3 months for an injury. The only way to get a personal doctor is if your name is picked in a lottery. Govt. will trash healthcare like it does everything else it gets involved with.
04-16-2008You're wrong about everything, plain and simple. Have a nice day though.
04-16-2008What is wrong with what i said? I don't see one thing wrong and i want you to justify your comments.
04-16-2008Why do you think it is ok to punish success? You believe in punishing hard work. Why should the rich be punished?
I don't believe in punishing hard work, if anything I'd like to reward the people holding two jobs compared to the CEO of some giant corporation that raises his salary cutting costs by laying off all the employees and moving their plants to India.
What gives anyone the right to get pregnant and then take their own baby's life?
What gives you the right to know if a woman is pregnant or not? Since these things aren't registered, a woman can easily terminate a baby early in development and you would never know it happened. How will you prove it, by testing every woman for pregnancy once every two weeks? Abortion isn't an issue of killing babies, it's an issue of privacy for a woman and her own body.
If you want the health care to go down the drain then yes Universal Healthcare is a good thing.
Wrong. Every other western country with universal health care can cover 100% of their citizens and still spend less than the United States per person. While it may be nice that you are covered and don't have to worry about this, millions of people in this country are not covered. No matter what circumstance you can think of, nobody deserves to die because of how much money they have, and whether or not they can afford insurance or obtain a job that provides healthcare.
04-16-2008That CEO didn't just become a CEO. That CEO had to work hard to get were he/she is and if taxes on the corporation weren't as high as they are that CEO wouldn't have to cut costs. Imagine all the corporations that would stay in America if they weren't taxed as high. Imagine all the jobs it would create.
Abortion has nothing to do with women's rights. No one has the right to kill. It is not the baby's fault that it is in the women so why should it be punished? The mother knew pregnancy was a possibility when she decided to have sex. I know people make mistakes but killing an innocent baby is not the answer. There are so many other choices out there.
If we have Universal Healthcare taxes will be out of the roof. I understand more than you know about not having healthcare. It is hard but it should not be forced upon others to buy healthcare for people who cannot afford it. It is a proven fact that if people have more money they will donate more money. That is what is great about Americans. We don't need the govt. forcing us to pay outrageous taxes.
I can guarantee you taxes aren't the reason the CEO is cutting costs. Several companies have had tax free agreements with the areas they produced in, only to still send those same jobs off to Mexico when they felt like paying their employees less. The CEO is already getting a salary over 200 times that of the lowest employee, he could easily save hundreds of jobs by accepting a lower amount. I mean, that would be for the good of the people and the country, right! I'm sure if Ron Paul were a CEO, he'd take a reasonable amount and pass it onto us.
If you agree that a fetus is a living person, then maybe we should name the fetus as soon as it is conceived. I mean, every living person deserves a name, so why not give it one? What about a morning after pill, do you consider that killing a baby? How can you even be sure that it worked?
As for the healthcare, taxes will be higher, but you don't have to spend money on premiums, or going bankrupt if you get cancer and your insurance company finds a minor reason not to support the bill. Nobody goes bankrupt in countries with universal health care, but it's one of the leading causes here. Besides, giving all your money to help another is a Christian ideal, no matter how the person who needs help ended up that way.
I don't quite understand your point on the donating money. While it may be logically true that someone with a billion dollars might donate a larger amount than someone on a $30k salary, the billion dollar guy won't be giving away as high of a percentage as he earns. Slightly poor people aren't tight with their money, they might realize donated money was the reason they are back on their feet and would be willing to give back, even if it is a larger portion of their income. It's not like these donations matter much anyhow, people are still not able to afford their health bills, and no amount donated money is not going to fix that.
04-17-2008So you are saying that corporations have deals with the Federal govt. saying they don't have to pay taxes? I really doubt that. What is really hard to believe is that because of the CEO's salary they have to cut costs. Donating money for healthcare is what I was talking about. I believe enough people would donate money without the govt. forcing them to do it and by the way I am an Atheist.
04-19-2008http://www.ctj.org/html/corp0402.htm
Several corporations have had huge tax breaks and still move their jobs to India, Microsoft being a notable one as well. In fact in 1999, the corporation of Microsoft paid $0 in taxes.
If you honestly believe enough people would donate the money to cover the healthcare costs of even one long term cancer patient with no insurance, you'll find that you are severely wrong. Go ahead and look up the costs for hospital visits and the drug/therapy treatment for any cancer.
http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/cost.htm
In 2004, lung cancer treatments altogether cost $9.6 billion dollars. Good luck with your bakesale.
04-19-2008The cost of running a corporation in America is just to high. I hate that so many corporations are leaving and have left the US but i can't say I blame them. Liberals try to win over votes by pretending to be for the people and taxing corporations but guess what, when a public corporation is taxed the people are taxed!
You dumb liberals just don't understand that money someone works for and earns is that person's money. Not the government's to throw around. The govt. has no right to tell anyone how to spend their money. No matter if we agree with how they spend it or not we have no right to tell anyone what to do with THEIR money!
You honestly think the oil companies going before congress, asking for tax cuts while they make record profits are really having a hard time staying afloat?
Also, great idea about paying absolutely no taxes, since all the money belongs to the person. You know, when my house is on fire, I don't need a fire department to put out the flames, I can buy a really huge hose with all the money I saved from not paying taxes. Burglar in my house? No need for the cops, I'll just take him out myself!
The point is, the people are always going to be taxed, so there's no reason to give a giant corporation making billions a year a tax break. They aren't going to pass the savings onto you, they're putting those earnings in a swiss bank account.
04-19-2008I wasn't talking about no taxes what so ever I was talking about no taxes on income. I am a FairTax supporter so I believe in the 23% retail tax. Coporations are never really taxed if you get down to it. It is the people getting taxed. When the oil companies make a profit it is benefiting the people. When they get taxed heavily it harms the people. "The people" are the corporations. The only fair tax is the 23% retail tax. Individual Income, The alternative minimum tax (AMT), The Corporate and business income taxes, Capitol gains taxes, Social security taxes, Medicare taxes (along with all other payroll taxes),
The self-employment tax, Estate taxes, and Gift taxes are all wrong.
You should stop looking everything from one side and start looking from multiple viewpoints before giving these ridiculous arguments and opinions of yours.
04-23-2008In that case, everyone else who presents to me their one-sided opinion should look up both sides and report that instead. Why am I at fault here for something they caused? Go yell at them please. (Since it's clearly impossible that I would have thought this up myself)
04-23-2008"Also, great idea about paying absolutely no taxes, since all the money belongs to the person. You know, when my house is on fire, I don't need a fire department to put out the flames, I can buy a really huge hose with all the money I saved from not paying taxes. Burglar in my house? No need for the cops, I'll just take him out myself!"
so sad you Americans know nothing about your own system. Income Tax is illegal based on your constitution and DOES NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THE SERVICES YOUR TALKING ABOUT. Thats what actual LEGAL taxes like property tax, and excise tax's like tax on gas you buy to pay for road repairs and things like that ... please get yourself educated. (ps income tax goes to pay down the debt the USA has accumulated on its own to the FED for printing their money.
"The point is, the people are always going to be taxed, so there's no reason to give a giant corporation making billions a year a tax break. They aren't going to pass the savings onto you, they're putting those earnings in a swiss bank account."
no the point is people SHOULDNT be taxed based on labour , CORPORATIONS should be ,based on their income.
Your a tool, Ron Paul doesn't support the national sales tax.
"By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don't mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing." -Ron Paul
I'm not even going to go into the rest of you garbage. Get your facts straight.
ron paul is just about the coolest, most chillest, most refridgerated man I know. He is literally cooler than a polar bears toenails. Calm, collected, obama, newt gingrich.
half a "hey how ya doin?"
I agree! Ron is a lunatic , a bigot , and he is not a Republican or Democrat or like any of the other parties. He needs to go to his own little world and leave us alone. I used to live in an area that was gerrymandered onto his district in an attempt to have more than the inbred who haul gators around in their cars and transient plant workers who don't know who or what he is. They added us to try to get some people with teeth to make it look like he isn't the Rep. from Redneckistan. So , how the plan working? I wrote to the Libertarian party head to ask just what they believe, I wanted to be fair and tried to be open minded. The Cracker wrote me back a snotty letter telling me he didn't have time to discuss anything and to go read Ron's book. Then they wonder why you can count Libertarian voters on your fingers and toes.
01-01-2009I was an Obama supporter until 2 weeks before the election when I started reading Ron Paul. I support him fully now. So far, what "Change" has Obama offered us, other than socialist policies and more debt?
Look at what the news broke today already. Obama has just proposed a three TRILLION dollar budget. On top of the $800 billion stimulus and $750 billion (failed) bailouts already put through. In fact if you read the article, he is requesting an additional $750 billion for bailouts. The billions already given to banks have done almost nothing for consumer credit, had no oversight, being squandered, etc now were going to give them more.
Plus he is going to make down payments for socialized health care. Realize people, that we are paying for all of this.
And he complained that the Bush-era policies of endless spending and "passing the bill" were going to stop. Though he seems earnest, Obama is going to be a dud, a flash in the pan. He won't live up to the expectations.
Forget socialism. What gives ANYONE the right to decide that another person makes too much money.
What gives you the right to decide that a CEO should be salary-capped? If you don't like a company's policies, salary cap them by spending your money elsewhere.
Yes, there are single mothers earning $16,000 at a company while the CEO earns $20 million. But thats the way life is. Its very sad then that people expect high-earners to then take care of them in the form of government handouts. Wake up and have some personal responsibility.
If I'm broke in 10 years, I have no one to blame but myself.
The people earning the most money in this country are the ones creating jobs, investing, moving the economy etc. They should get their taxes DECREASED for christ's sake.
What gives you the right to decide how other people should live their lives?
"The tax is flat for everyone, but should you pay the same tax rate as some guy who makes 6-7 digit figures every year? "
Fuck you, yes you should.
Those who apply themselves shouldn't be punished. I wrote the post above. Again, what gives you the right to FORCE LABOR from someone else? Because you have less? So then someone with more is obligated to help you?
This is the fundamental problem with socialism. We do NOT have a moral obligation to anyone else. We may FREELY CHOOSE to give the fruits of our labor to another person, but we should never be forced to.
Ron Paul does not support FairTax. You'd know this if you understood the slightest thing about him and the Constitution.
"but I'm pretty sure every candidate supports free speech, so that's not much to say."
...Really? Have you been living under a rock? Ever hear of George Bush's "Free Speech Zones" ...that's not free speech. Newt Gingrich and Hillary Clinton have both said they want to put limits on Free Speech.
"Ron Paul wants to raise that number to 23%."
Where has Ron Paul EVER said he's going to raise taxes? Please, list some sources.
You can't because it's a lie. That pretty much proves what you are right there. In fact this "article" is filled with lies. You have all these things Ron Paul supposedly believes in and stuff he supposedly said, but I can't find a single source. Even searching the internet on my own.
It's clear that you've picked your own candidate, probably Obama who thinks he can spend us out of debt, and are resorting to slander tactics as a way to give him an an edge.
What's wrong with you? You don't have enough government in your life already? You don't support the Constitution? Would you rather live in a facist dictatorship where the state controls everything?
The UN is positioning itself as a global government and forcing its will on to everyone. Obama is a UN puppet who means to take us deeper into the organization, doing so will require us to give up more freedoms including the right to bare arms.
You think us forcing our will on others is a good idea? You think these no win wars are good for this country? Look at us, we're taxed out the ass, hated by much of the world, the dollar dying a slow painful death and it's going to take all of us with it. The one man who spoke common sense, the only man who spoke about the issues most the time, and had a good solid plan for getting us out of this and you're flat out lying and rejecting him over stupid party politics.
You are a truly sick and disturbed individual.
I really wish Ron Paul would stop posting here.
11-12-2009You neither understand the positions of Ron Paul or the fundamental principles of this country's founding documents. Why don't you take some time off from babbling here and elsewhere, acquire a copy of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Declaration of Rights, sit down and educate yourself. Your reading should be prove to be well spent and give you real insight into the beliefs of a man that are far superior to those you presently adhere to in ignorance.
