I agree with you on that point. BUT Ron Paul is a true constitutionalist. He wants to do away with much of the wasteful bureaucrocy and those lavish salaries our 'servants', aka the senators and congressmen are enjoying. Surely they fear that. He is being snubbed, demeaned and ignored by his own party. Hopefully he at least gets to be one of the cabinet members.

Roe, I appreciate Dr. Paul's belief in, and support of the U.S. Constitution, and that he says we should "do away with wasteful bureaucracy", but dang it, John F. Kennedy wanted to do away with the illegal "Federal Reserve" board, which is neither "federal" nor "reserve", and look what happened to him. Dr. Paul's heart is in the right place, but implementing his ideas could well be an impossible task, and this is the time to look at things realistically.

but I have earned the right no to listen to the bashing each other ! WHAT about the issues? They are so busy bashing no one ever talks about what EXACTLY they would do to get america going again.
It's the economy stupid, pay attention to and fix the economy or there won't be any money to address the other issues facing America.
People like ron paul should just exit stage right, he has been running for 30 years taking up debate time and tax payers money and ends up last every time, YO PAUL there is a message in your last 10 runs for office, america doesn't want you to run the country.

Evan to bozo 2012/04/04 15:27:14

bozo, does it much matter what they "say they will do"? We must not base our choice this time on "what they say they will do". We must base our choice on the quality of the character of our candidate, and his history......which is going to depend on a lot of prayer for discernment.

If they all stay in they will split the republican vote so badly Obama will slide into his second term.

Ron Paul can beat Obama. He's the only candidate that that recognizes that we cannot responsibly continue to go in the direction we've been going AND is the only one that has a solid plan to get this country back on the right track both domestically as well as internationally!

reply
ron to lwesty 2012/04/04 07:46:36

What I admire about Obama Is his willingness to listen to everyone's ideas including Ron Paul. economically Ron's may have good ideas but international affairs I'd be concerned

Obama is an empty suit and figurehead who was put in the White House by much more powerful people and forces who pull his strings. Obama knew the fix was in while in his early twenties for him to be president. America doesn't seem to know who her real enemies or friends are. Ron Paul wants our soldiers back home. We do not need to be all over the world being involved in all these foreign conflicts. Surely as a reasonable man, as commander in chief, he would consider the advice of his generals.

reply
Evan to ron 2012/04/04 15:31:24

ron, do you really think Obama listens? I don't. I think he says he does, and he certainly pretends to listen, just like he pretends to do and be everything else. He is all pretense, no substance. I don't see anything about the man to admire. Well, maybe his metabolism. Or is it the smoking that keeps him so skinny? (He did say he was "trying to quit" though.)

too bade he admits to be a lib and never says he is a republican. so again he has no business being in a republican primary or even allowed to be a member of the republican party

It's getting a little late in the election cycle for this crap to still be going on. Romney (not my favorite) is probably the GOP nomunee. The rest should concede because none of them will win the nomination. It's high time to be going after the real target, and time is short!

The LIBERAL Mitt OBAMAney.
If the GOP runs a liberal Massachusetts candidate against a liberal incumbent, the GOP loses. When a liberal runs against a liberal - the incumbent wins. Why replace a liberal with another liberal?
Note - the word "moderate" is main stream media (Communist Propaganda Organs) code word for 'liberal.'

It will be fine fun to see the finish and what mockery these guys will make of our democratic system. Not one of them is worth a damn. I'm not particularly fond of Obama but with any of these Republican morons running, he's a shoo-in.
