Proven????? By whom and with what evidence?

Just who was it that printed repeated RON PAUL newsletters with content and name not authorized by Ron Paul himself?

I agree that people should read the entire story. I did. Its much much worse than just these few lines.

Oh look, another cherry picked video. Do you ever watch/read anything in its full context? If I wanted to I'm sure that I could go through all of your posts and cherry pick things to make it look like you said something that you actually didn't....should I do that? Or would you rather have the full context of everything?

Dr. Pauls views are unique and and will be economically effective for America, I suggest everyone look at this guy to be the next Republican President.

Not to mention the all important 14th reason: you are a Democrat and you want an easy re-election for your President.

You read the articles that is in that video? If you did then I don't see how you can say that it got worse. Guess our POVs in how we read things are quite different.

Yeah - like those cherry picked newsletters that were forged with Dr. Pauls name on them.

12 reasons why me, paleoconservative, should vigorously oppose Ron Paul.

Brandon J said:
‎13 reasons to vote for Ron Paul
l

1 -- Pro-Life: Introduced legislation to define life at conception & always votes pro-life.

Ron Paul would leave it up to the states to decide, and it just takes one state to legalize it so all a woman would have to do is travel to the state to get an abortion. The probability of this happening is 100%, if it were left up to the states.

2 - Taxes/Spending: Never voted to raise taxes and wants to eliminate the IRS. Never voted to increase spending and plans to cut $1 trillion from the budget year one.

Oh goody, more deficits.

3 - Guns: Never voted against the Second Amendment.

What about violent criminals buying guns?

4 - Marriage: Voted for the Defense of Marriage Act.

A useless gesture when 3 courts have already found it unconstitutional, Obama Admin already ignores part of it, "don't ask don't tell" already dropped by military, and supreme court is full of a bunch of liberals.

5 - Right to Work. Supports Right to Work legislation and opposed forced unionism.

Not every conservative shows their fangs dripping with blood and saliva whenever someone mentions the dreaded word "union". Who cares, this is irrelevant.

6 - Obama: Has the BEST chance at defeating Obama by getting Independent voters.

We'd rather live in a European socialist paradise than a Banana Republic Ayn Rand anarcho-Capitalist paradise. It's a matter of choosing the lesser evil of 2 evils.

7 - Debt: Never voted to raise the debt ceiling.

Every time he votes not to raise taxes he increases the debt ceiling.

8 - ObamaCare: Wants to eliminate ObamaCare immediately.

So does every other Republican, that doesn't make him special.

You mean RomneyCare.

9 - Econ/Jobs: Predicted the economic crisis years before it happened. Has a plan to fix it.

No. He didn't predict Free Trade would devastate the manufacturing sector, and make Americans poorer. He thought the dollar would crash which would destroy the economy, that hasn't happened yet. And when the dollar does crash it is only because Free Trade (de-Industrialization) has destroyed the value of the dollar.

10 - Foreign Policy: Opposes nation-building and policing the world. Pro-American foreign policy.

Globalist Free Traders like Ron Paul cause war. What was the first war the US was involved in? The Barbary Pirates were interfering with precious international trade.

What got the US into the 1st World War? German U-boats interfering with precious international trade.

What got the US into 2nd world war? 90 before, Commodore Perry sailed into an Iron Age Japanese harbor and forced Japanese to trade, 90 years later they bombed Pearl Harbor.

11 - Social Security: Never voted to spend any of the Soc. Sec trust fund money.

It's either a trust fund or a pyramid scheme, you can't have it both ways.

12 - Borders: Wants to end birthright citizenship and stop giving illegal immigrants taxpayerfunded benefits

And then invite them is as guest workers, nothing accomplished here.

13- Dr. Paul wants to audit the Federal Reserve Bank, which has never been done by anybody.

Nobody cares.

Dr. Paul has preached the same solutions since 1988, and he has been ignored until this debate, the answer should have never been tarp

Paul should have spent more time reading the content of his own newsletters and monitoring the views expressed on his website if he wanted to be president.

If Paul is not homophobic, anti-semtic and/or racist, he's certainly surrounded by a lot of supporters who are, and not afraid to have their views made known under his name!

Yes, he has been saying the same tired things since 1988. This is a testament to how weak the Republican field actually is that people are actually taking him seriously as a party nominee.

If Paul had solutions, then it should be easy to find the legislation he introduced as an alternative to TARP. However, if one searches the Thomas.gov website one finds that Congressman Paul introduced no alternative legislation during the financial crisis. In fact, during the September-October 2009 period, Congressman Paul introduced no legislation of any kind. The bills he introduced immediately before and after the financial crisis/TARP debate were:

53. H.R.3394 : Freedom of Health Speech Act
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron [TX-14] (introduced 7/29/2009) Cosponsors (3)
Committees: House Energy and Commerce
Latest Major Action: 7/30/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

54. H.R.3395 : Health Freedom Act
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron [TX-14] (introduced 7/29/2009) Cosponsors (2)
Committees: House Energy and Commerce
Latest Major Action: 7/30/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

55. H.R.3396 : Congressional Responsibility and Accountability Act
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron [TX-14] (introduced 7/29/2009) Cosponsors (1)
Committees: House Judiciary
Latest Major Action: 9/14/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

56. H.R.4248 : Free Competition in Currency Act of 2009
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron [TX-14] (introduced 12/9/2009) Cosponsors (1)
Committees: House Financial Services; House Ways and Means; House Judiciary
Latest Major Action: 3/1/2010 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.

As stated earlier, he opposed TARP. However, he had no solutions of his own. He was relegated to a bystander at a moment that called for bold leadership. During crises, leaders must act boldly. Hesitation and inaction are recipes for disaster. Congressman Paul failed the test of leadership during the financial crisis.

I don't believe he should be taken seriously as the Party nominee. Certainly, national tracking polls show that the situation in Iowa (a caucus state) does not reflect nationwide sentiment.

LizardofOz · Dec 30, 2011

I am down with point #1, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 although some of them are kind of sketchy. With that said, what most interest me about Paul is he is more of an ideas man, I don't think he would make a great president. By ideas, I don't think the fed auditing would have happened without his support nor would we be getting conservatives on the no-war train without him saying it first. He is in many ways for better or worse always ahead of the curve with Conservatives hopefully his ideas about our military continue to rub off on Republicans, as that is indeed the quickest, easiest, and most meaningful way to start controlling our debt.

I'm a Green, but I like Ron Paul. His answers are not tried and true political maxims that avoid answer, but give good sound bytes. The fact that Republicans on the National scene are against is a plus in my opinion. The guy is real. Might be able to get something done or else get the patented Jimmy Carter, "can't help a stranger in DC" reception. Change, we need it and he seems to represent it, for good or for bad. Can't get much worse, except to return to GWShiiteForBrains type follies.

I'm pretty sure that's a good reason not to.. unless of course you like seeing the troops not getting paid, social security beneficiaries not getting paid, police officers not getting paid, firefighters not getting paid, veterans not getting paid, government completely shutting down, you know fun stuff like that. It is disturbing to me that you would vote against that as it has happened more than once a year for the past 100 years. It's not like it was a big deal when he did it last year or when Bush did it.
