Author Topic: Who is Ron Paul? (Read 12490 times)

I urge everyone to read this excerpt from "The Life of Colonel David Crockett". It's not too long, might take 10 minutes to read, and it really puts things into perspective...

Not Yours To Give

and then read this account regarding Ron Paul and how, even though Dr. Paul and Mr. Reagan were good friends and Dr. Paul was one of only four sitting members of the United States House of Representatives who endorsed Ronald Reagan's candidacy for President in 1976, Ron Paul opposed awarding a Congressional Gold Medal to Ronald and Nancy Reagan:

Didn't bother reading this thread on the pansy. It just took about two seconds of hearing his "lets just be nice and use our words" BS to decide that fella's out. He sounded like a woman for crying out loud.

He was kind of funny on the Colbert Report with that hand raising episode.

Well I'm a diehard Independent because i have always been taught to do what you think is the right thing and not become some republican/Democrat
Zealot who blindly follows one partyline like some deranged cult member.

I vote not with my heart, i use what god has given all of us, its called the Brain.
And in choosing who i will vote for is done thru research of all the Canidates running, weither Rep/Dem/Independent makes no difference to me.

To blindly follow one partyline is not only Communistic but i feel Un-American, For now Ron Paul has peaked my Interest and i will support him.

BTW BSD Great Post

68zoom.. that is very noble of you... and.. I am glad you do such.. so long as you would have wasted your vote anyway.

if you would have voted for a democrat then I am thrilled that you have jumped on the ron paul wagon... very good news.

If you would have voted for a republican but now want to vote for ron paul out of some form of missguided "principle" .. then you are a sucker and a problem.

The game is not played that way. I didn't make up the rules but the rules are... the more votes your team can get and the more votes some loser siphons off from the other guy... the better your chances. but... one of the two of you will win and the two are very different with very different visions for America.

to vote your concience and expect that you will change things for the better is to not be paying attention to the game and to do a disservice to your fellows.

But.. like I said... if you woulda voted for another independent or for a democrat then...

Go RON PAUL and good for you for making a "difference" and having so much courage.

68... I will vote for ron paul in the primaries if he is on the ballot and it won't let mcain get in.

I would for sure vote for him over any democrat.

CNN's Jack Cafferty on Ron Paul

On an interesting related note, Reagan was labeled "unelectable" just ahead of the 1980 election:

I really hope Ron Paul wins. We need him to help point our country back into the direction our Founding Fathers intended. And if he does win I pray he has the ability to choose good quality cabinet members, because he won't be able to do it alone.

A good article on Giuliani:

His answer to any question is the same, and this article calls him on it.

yup, nothing new, of course, but it's nice that the MSM is picking up on that fact... I can't wait for his 2nd ammendment record to become an issue, that'll really sink him.

Here's a new RP video for ya'll. Not by me, was posted on lewrockwell...
