Ron Paul for Pres?

It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Ron Paul '08 or Bust!

Nice find, Wrag.

Quote
Since its inception, Sierra Times has been a staunch supporter of Congressman Ron Paul, recognizing him as America's only true statesman worthy of the name. Dr. Paul may be America's best and last hope of returning our nation to the constitutional republic envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

:)

Quote
If you look at Paul's stance on the issues and his speeches, you will see he is a stauch constitutionalist; for limited government, fiscal responsibility, protective of American sovereignty, anti-illegal immigration, anti-United Nations, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, pro-property rights, against government intrusion in education, pro-family. The list goes on and on. In short, he is a Libertarian leaning, conservative constitutionalist and Anti-Federalist.

you go, Paul!

The Ron Paul FREEDOM PRINCIPLES

*Rights belong to individuals, not groups.

*Property should be owned by people, not government.

*All voluntary associations should be permissible -- economic and social.

*The government's monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.

*Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.

*The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government's.

'nuff said...

America is Sick.
Dr. Ron Paul
is the Cure.

I think it means that he supports the rights of consenting gays to have relationships with each other or go into business together.

I will vote for him if the republican is a shoe in or if it looks like he has a chance to win himself.   I will not vote for him if it will help a democrat.

Lazs...you're a smart man.

You Repub's can learn from the lesson we Dem's learned in 2000 (and you guys learned in 92)... Nader really hurt us and took quite a few votes in the General election from Gore.  

You guys need to be smart when it comes to Ron Paul... I don't think he has the electability to win the General election... but he may be a spoiler in the Primary's should he decide to throw his hat in the ring.

What, are you serious?  That's a stupid thing to do and symptomatic of what's currently wrong with our current political parties.


Lazs and 100 million other americans would rather vote for the republican / democrat so they don't lose the election, rather then vote for the candidate they truly believe in.

Laser... why is that stupid?

If your candidate isn't going to win... and you know it.  Isn't it better to insure that you elect someone you're with on 80% of the issues rather than having the opposing candidate win if you agree with them only 20% of the time?  (note these numbers are arbitrary... and selected to simply make a point).

This is politics... not utopia.

NO, it's not better.  You are saying that you are willing to give up your ideals just to make sure the guy you like the least will not get voted in?


THAT'S ****ING MORONIC.

No... I'm protecting my ideals so they are not trounced by the opposition should they win.  

But hey... don't take my friendly advice... I would LOVE to see Ron Paul on the ballot in 2008... if he is I can guarantee I'll be celebrating that night, because he just wont win a general election.

This will be why the revolution will be sooner, rather then later.

ummm laz, he'll be "the republican".  He's running as an R and IMHO his toughest challenge will be beating Guiliani in the GOP primaries.  If he does beat wonderboy Rudy and is in the general, then NOT voting for Ron will help the Dems.
