Ron Paul
« on: May 06, 2011, 03:43:09 AM »
Saw some results over on Drudge about Ron Paul being top dog in a straw poll.

I've never met the man personally.

I do notice he is not mentioned much in the media.

I also have noticed he has a big negative following, that is, people who negate him.

Also he has a big positive following, people that like him.

I have known a bit about him for years but never really paid much attention.

What little I know, he sticks to the Constitution, which ain't a bad thing for anybody.

(That's a piece of paper that means a thing or two, for those who don't know, those of us who speak English anyway).

Also I am apprised of a movement about the land that thinks this Congressman from Texas is pretty much whacked and is wrong or America.

What's up with that?

I'm not defending the man, I want to know/learn about the man. I know very little about him.

I know more about the crescendo of noise against him, to the point that this is what made me aware of him in the first place.

Problem is, noise is noise, nothing to back that up.

Ron Paul? What little I've seen, the man speaks the truth.

Nobody brings over to this site the straw polls from Drudge where he trounces all comers, year after year.

The man raises money like Jack and the Bean Stalk.

He has the movers & shakers scared, and has for years.

Why the fear???

What is it about Ron Paul that scares the living shit out of Republicans?

Enlighten me.

Why is Ron Paul a "Whack Job".

What is wrong with this guy?

What's up?

Freeborn, if last night's GOP debate with Santorum, Cain, Pawlenty, Paul, and that former NM governor (forgot his name -- that's how distinctive THAT idiot is) is any clue, Ron Paul is a complete whack job because he spends too much time in the forest to be able to see the trees.

Suggest you research this site as Sparky recommended -- there is PLENTY of information on Ron Paul, his Ronbots/Paulinistas/fellow nut cases.

Rand Paul is at least as much of a ****ing whack job as his father.

Ron Paul is many ways an anti-conservative/libertarian and he is a liar. He is one of the biggest pork barrel spender in Congress. His followers are a different story of kookiness.

The following is from an argument in 2007 that I found. Its about the racists statements Paul made against Jews and Blacks in his newsletter for 20-30 years.
Bottom line, Paul is a total Tard, and so is his son, Rand
.
Quote
(to Mr Mannn by a retarded Paul bot)  It gets tiring having to correct you on Ron Paul threads.  He was interviewed about this and he said though racist things were printed in these newsletters, he had no idea, didn't oversee the newsletters, had a continual flow of personnel and contract writers coming and going, etc.  When asked if he would do an investigation to find out exactly who wrote some of those articles, he said no because it goes back from 10-20 years ago.  So he's answered this question, but I see you don't bother to post both sides.

Sorry, you are the one who needs to snap out of it.
Ron Pauls utter LAME excuse doesn't wash, and the democrats will roast him alive if he runs in the general election.

Lets look at Pauls sorry excuse.
Quote
he said though racist things were printed in these newsletters, he had no idea, didn't oversee the newsletters, had a continual flow of personnel and contract writers
1) This went on for DECADES. And Paul had no idea what was being printed under his name? Hogwash! The news letters were making him money, and he was aware enough to cash the checks every month.
2) He was the publisher, and he had no idea what was going on for 20-30 YEARS? If Paul never once examined his own newsletters, why do people want to put this guy into the oval office? If he wasn't up to the job as publisher, who on earth would trust him with national defense.
3) The whole "I never knew" argument is foolish.
Its like Hugh Hefner being surprised that nekid people are pictured in his magazine. "I never knew! I'm just the publisher!"

Quote
When asked if he would do an investigation to find out exactly who wrote some of those articles, he said no because it goes back from 10-20 years ago.
Here Paul is just fluffing off the controversy, like its going to go away.
If some Frozen event occurs in hell, and Paul wins the nod: You can bet the home that Paul's racist quotes will be on every TV commercial his opponent makes!
1) Paul won't say who wrote it, because HE wrote it!
2) Ron Paul needs to address this in a very open and forthcoming way. This is Paul's Swiftboat.
This brush-off quote is why he will lose, he cannot openly address the newsletters because he wrote them, and he believes what they say.

Its time to face the awful truth: Paul is a despicable racist.

He advocated Paranoid conspiracies. He consorts with white supremacists and 9-11 conspiracy nuts.

Paul wants to withdraw all military men from overseas and close all military bases. To replace the military overseas, and fight any war outside of the US...Paul wants congress to issue letters of the marque to create real live American pirates (bringing murder and rape to the high seas again). A private army with no overriding govt control, free to loot, kill and steal not just on the high seas but on foreign soil. They would not be paid, but would have to steal goods to pay themselves. These legal pirates would have safe haven in the US.

Paul is a F-ing idiot. and the people who support him are doubly so.

I really wanted to hate Rand Paul for no other reason than I despise his father on so many levels.

But sometimes the acorn falls far enough away. He's impressed me.

More importantly: even after Paul tried to hang this on Lew Rockwell he went right back to posting at Rockwell's site.

So the take away is: Paul is supposedly too oblivious to know what his name os being signed to, he then ducks responsibility for his subordinates (Rockwell was his Chief-of-Staff at the time) and even after claiming it was all Rockwell's fault he was more than happy to maintain the relationship that supposedly caused him so much embarrassment.

I definitely am going to have to read up more on the Paul guy. I keep hearing things like "nuttier than a sack of peanuts", etc. but I'm not seeing anything to back that up.

What I am seeing is a man who, year after year, continues to come out on top in the straw polls. That tells me an awful lot of people like what this guy has to say. Why does he repeatedly win these polls, beating out all the other Republicans candidates?

What little I know about him so far, I like. I liked what Trump had going on until I discovered his history of supporting the Libtards. **** Trump. I may well say the same about Paul as I come to learn more about him but for now I like what I see, so far.

As I understand it Ron Paul wants us to ditch the "Fed" and go back to controlling our own currency as the Constitution stipulates. He also wants to abolish the I.R.S. which as I see it is really just the collections dept. of the "Fed". I don't think that is bat-shit crazy. I agree with it and would like to see it become reality.

Foreign wars? Let them be foreign wars. I agree with Paul in that our military should not be cops of the world for the U.N. I would love to see us out of the U.N. altogether. If East Jahunga has a beef with Timbuktu let them fight it out on their own, without American boots on the ground. I am tired of seeing our troops dieing for these back water third world dirt bags who don't want us there anyway, **** 'em. I really don't give a flying **** how much oil they might have, we have plenty of our own right here. Dependency on foreign oil is a big mistake, as a matter of national security we need to rely on our own. The enviro whacktards need to be put in their place. Drill baby, drill!

I agree the Letters of Marque thing sounds more than a bit odd, because of its antiquity but it makes a lot of sense. I agree with it, if administered and regulated sensibly. I don't believe that was done with Blackwater and we have paid for that shortcoming. I agree with Paul's take on it-
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21245.html

Ron Paul also wants to shitcan the Patriot Act. Again, I agree with him.

So like I've said, so far so good but I'm looking into him more. I have yet to run into anything that tells me he is off his rocker or any other sort of red flags, yet. Ron Paul sticks to the Constitution, I don't find that radical.
Obama or Rahm Emanuel, I forget which, said during their campaign "The Constitution is the single greatest obstacle to our agenda". Ron Paul is exactly the opposite. Barry won and look where we're going.

If the next Presidential election were held tomorrow and you had the choice of voting to reelect Obama or to elect Ron Paul which lever would you be pulling? Did any of you feel good about voting for McLame last time around? I sure as hell didn't! I saw it as choosing the lesser of two evils. If the next one comes down to being between Obama and Paul I won't be holding my nose like last time.

You be sure to do that, and feel free not to post anything you "discover" about the man here, some guy named crocodile or something like that at CU might be interested though.
 
I keep hearing things like "nuttier than a sack of peanuts", etc. but I'm not seeing anything to back that up.

Ever heard the phrase "can't judge a book by its cover"?  I have found that to be utter bullsh*t, you can absolutely judge a book by its cover - why do you think Fabio makes so much money as a cover model? Anyway, to my point: RP looks batsh*t crazy, to me that means he IS batsh*t crazy. Herman Cain on the other hand looks like a straight shooter, I hope he runs.
