Anne T,
Two questions. first, If Canada’s health care is so good, then why are they comming HERE to see specialists as the wait in Canada is so long?? Let’s face it, if you have a fast moving cancer, a four to six week wait to see an oncoogist could be a death warrant!!!
Second, if their system is so good, WHY ARE THER LEADERS DICUSSING A MOVE BACK TOO AN INSURANCE TYPE SYSTEM??? It’s bankrupting the country, that’s why???

So you prefer a foreign policy where we give bribes to Israeli government officials and dictate what they are allowed to do, and we also do the same for Israel’s enemies but with more money?

Ron Paul supports Israel’s rights as a sovereign nation to decide their own path. Last time I checked, Israel is not one of our 57 states. We have no jurisdiction there.

Then create a radical christian army to defend Israel apart from the government. Don’t do it at the cost of american lives.

I think all you fundamentalist christians are a little on the crazy side that is the reason you kiss the A$$ of israel . fyi- i am Eastern Orthodox the first christian church started by the apostle Paul In construable now called Istanbul. Go to youtube look up a video “Orthodox Army ” to see who we are .

If you listened to RP you would know that he supports Israel. He does NOT support arming Israel’s enemies!
Is it constitutional to give foreign aid to all those countries? Are you aware that we are currently subsidizing the wars against Israel by aiding Israel’s enemies? We are giving Israe’s ememies more than twice as much as we are giving to Israel. This needs to stop. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that wants to stop funding Israel’s enemies.
Pray – From Ron Paul’s lips to God’s ears.

Buck,
IF he abandons Isreal, he will be doing what THEY have said they want us to do!!! Isreal’s leaders have said they don’t want the US to interfere militarily as they KNOW even better than us what that could result in!! they have only asked that we not interfere if they decide to strike at Iran. considering it would be none of our business, that SHOULDN’T be too hard!!!

Pepper,
I DO like the way you talk in that first sentence!!! VERY TRUE!!

RON PAUL/ANDREW NAPOLITANO 2012!!! Andrew Napolitano was mentioned by Ron Paul as a possible running mate and I trust HIS judgement!!

C. R.,
Newt abandoned somebody he swore to love through sickness and health. if he broke his promise to sombody like THAT, then what would stop him from breaking his word to someone like US??? I don’t trust him. Had he divorced her before she got sick, or after she was cured, it would be different. but to abandon her practically on her sick bed, well, I don’t trust him!!

Yes. If he “sounds like an isolationist” to you, it’s obvious you have fulfilled your obligation to due diligence. Great job.

DONATE NOW so we can VOTE RON PAUL 2012!!!

yes and an isolationist is what America needs . I well vote for him even if he runs on a third party ticket if we can’t have Ron Paul than to hell with it we can keep what we got as a lesson . better obongo than a rino at least with obongo we know what he is .

Robert L., I understand where you’re coming from but there is one fault in your train of thought. Newt is in all regards a Progressive. So, you want to trade out one Progressive for another with the only difference between the two being “R” & “D”? You may not be aware of it but the Progressives – Socialist/Communist – are basically the same. Progressives work it slowly while the Communists love revolutions. Get a copy of Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist”. You’ll get a much clearer view.

Robert; Ron Paul believes in free trade and capitalism which means that we will not go into isolation. We would continue to use our expertise and trading abilities to our fullest extent. He will allow the markets to reflect our business dealings and not through military intervention. Those aggressions against other nations have cost us a bundle and tarnished our good image abroad. Ron Paul sees a better way of doing business and surviving in this world. He will keep us safe and prosperous and take the crony out of capitalism.

Robert,
He believes in a strong NATIONAL defense. He still wants to associate with the other countriesas in ambassadors. He just thinks we don’t need all that realestate in other countries!!! Which, BTW, those countries would miss us very much as there are a great many civillian EMPLOYEES on those bases that WE pay for!!! As far as I can find, there are only two countries that pay ANYTHING for us to defend them, south Korea and One other, Japan, I believe. It is no where near what it costs us, though!!

Yes he will get rid of Agenda 21 and the other un-American bills the liberals have passed, including the governments ability to arrest our own citizens and put them into FEMA camps and the misnamed Patriot Act and the Dream Act. We are not the terrorists. We want a president that will follow the Constitution, Ron Paul is that man.

Dr. Paul just might be too old. But it sure hasn’t been proven. Look here! lol

The man never fails to impress.

DONATE NOW so we can VOTE RON PAUL 2012!!!

More nonsense from Jimmy . . . save your money, go buy a CLUE!!!

We should have sided with the Germans not England and today Europe would not be the liberal cesspool it is today , and the middle east would be peaceful today .

We should stay out of Iran’s internal affairs within it’s borders and that includes their nuclear capabilities if used to defend their nation. The prospect of them building a military base in Venezuela with missile capabilities is real and should be called out on for that has nothing to do with Iran’s defense.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his visiting Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chavez, both denounced what they called U.S. “imperialism”!

Ted, the purpose of an alliance between Iran and Venezuela is not to promote nuclear proliferation, but rather, to forge a considerable, and united power-structure for the purpose of eliminating, or keeping in check, Western dominance over global affairs. Wether they will be successful remains to be seen. Irrespective, it is high time that western imperialists were met with resistance, and hopefully repelled!

GOod post and I agree with you .

Christie ? boy you must be smoking crack ! he was a DA they are the biggest liar’s in the world . he is anti gun . and a liberal and may even be jewish .

Although I like the way Christie has handled the unions, when you look at all of his stances, he is pretty liberal and definitely not a constitutionalist.

Term limits won’t truly work if the electorate are uneducated/miseducated. Getting the electorate informed and caring about our country is the only solution. When we do get a true statesman (like Ron Paul), an informed electorate will want to keep him. As history has shown, every time we “vote the bums out”, we just get a new set of “bums” because the electorate doesn’t properly investigate the candidates.

Although I definitely believe we should balance the budget in 1-2 years and keep it within budget, the Balanced Budget Amendment is not the panacea you think it is. No elected official wants to cut spending. The BBA will just cause Congress to raise taxes and kill our economy.

christi if so full of himself……..I cant believe those who cant see through him………

LMAO! Good point, amigo. Perhaps those who yearn for them might find them in N. Korea?

No evidence a good liberal spin. But there were WMD’S he used him on his own people. And you can be asured that plenty was taken across the borders since the politicians in Washington did not let our military do what the wanted to do and take in more troops to secure the borders. Something we can’t even do here!

Yes, arrogant from the local level all the way to D.C..

4-just us….Then move!!!! I’m sure Iran would accept you as a “Citizen”.

Obama will have the advantage, if you and others like you do not help us vote in Ron Paul. You said it yourself when you said nothing works in the middle east, and you are correct. Ron Paul will not let them harm us in any way, and will learn if he has not already, that negotiating with the middle east is futile at best. Please let him have a chance at it. It really cannot get much worse.

Hey Sirian,
So you are saying that what we have been doing is working? Yeah, right. Egypt is going well, so is Libya. Iran just keeps waving it’s middle finger at us and essentially saying “molon labe” to us.
We have no obligation to “protect” any country, even Israel. The true Jews and the new Israel are the believers in Christ and not ethnic Israel. In the end, God will take care of it all because he is in control.

Thank you,Sirian, for at least positing a valid concern based on your perceptions of reality. There is, however, one or more accepted premises implied by your conclusion that you may wish to haul out, inspect and reconsider.

Anytime a conclusion based on logic results in a contradiction with reality, it’s time to check your premises for validity and veracity.

Just as a clue as to what the major invalid premise in your syllogism may be, consider that even if it does fall somehow to the USA to intervene in any region to “fight evil” (which I for one do not accept), how will a nation on the verge of bankruptcy pay for the effort to “make the world safe for democracy”?

Additionally, just how “perfect” does a candidate have to be to garner your vote? The only perfect man in history walked on water.I don’t see his replacement anywhere in our field of choices. Even with a jihadist dedication to destruction of our country unparalleled in our history,(no,he is NOT inept or inexperienced in his purpose) Obama and the spineless hogs in Congress aided by the Supreme Court have not yet been able to bring us completely to our knees.

Why not give Liberty and Prosperity a chance? Whenever left to their own devices,the religious zealots in the mid-east have spent the majority of their efforts in fighting each other. It may be a shame, but I see no reason for our involvement in their squabbles. (And I feel as little sympathy for the state of Israel, who chose to build their island-nation in a sea of enemies as I do for those “victims” of Katrina who chose to build their homes on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico at six feet below sea level.)

If you are waiting for your perfect candidate to appear before jumping on the liberty train, I hope you brought a sack lunch. A big one.

DONATE NOW so we can VOTE RON PAUL 2012!!!

Dr. Paul wants to have diplomatic relations, that isn’t so bad if you ask me. In libya we managed to stop them from trying to obtain WMD’s through diplomacy, and in Iraq we had their Chemical weapons dismantled. If President Paul thought that we were in real, serious danger, he would request a Decleration of War so that he could call to service the US military, after that he would dictate just how much force would be necessary to combat the adversary. If the US is under imminent threat, President Paul would not need a Decleration of War, and we would have every single soldier here, manning every tank, jet, battleship, submarine, and weapon we have. We need not worry about his foreign policy, it is practically perfect for defense.

If you look back at history, We’ve been in the middle east since the 50′s digging for oil and overthrowing democratic states like Iran and turning them into dictatorships. We can’t afford it anymore. We don’t have the manufacturing capabilities anymore to stand alone as a superpower.

“But we simply can’t sit back and let the radical idiots in the Mid-East move further and further along with a total Caliphate as their final objective.”

Do you assume to know the collective objective of Islam? If that’s true, then no doubt we have the same radical idiots of Christianity pushing their agenda as well. So from your view it seems it becomes nothing more than a continuation of religious struggle that began with Crusades. That isn’t what America was about once.

Let me share a quote from John Quincy Adams on what American foreign policy should be.

“And now, friends and countrymen, if the wise and learned philosophers of the elder world, the first observers of nutation and aberration, the discoverers of maddening ether and invisible planets, the inventors of Congreve rockets and Shrapnel shells, should find their hearts disposed to enquire what has America done for the benefit of mankind? Let our answer be this: America, with the same voice which spoke herself into existence as a nation, proclaimed to mankind the inextinguishable rights of human nature, and the only lawful foundations of government. America, in the assembly of nations, since her admission among them, has invariably, though often fruitlessly, held forth to them the hand of honest friendship, of equal freedom, of generous reciprocity. She has uniformly spoken among them, though often to heedless and often to disdainful ears, the language of equal liberty, of equal justice, and of equal rights. She has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart. She has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama the European world, will be contests of inveterate power, and emerging right. Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force…. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit…. America’s glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto upon her shield is, Freedom, Independence, Peace. “ – John Quincy Adams 1821

Dr. Paul is absolutely spot on with his foreign policy stance. I don’t feel, however, that he articulates his position thoroughly. Iran for example: suppose they acquire nukes? Certain rouge nations are waiting and scheming to sell them the technology. Does anyone doubt that it is just a matter of time before they get it. And, our current posturing only means that not ONLY do we need confront Iran, who has acquired the nukes, but we also must confront the nation that sold them the technology.(don’t forget who gave this technology to North Korea) When we, with hundreds of warheads at our disposal, square our shoulders at Iran and say “You can’t HAVE them”, it sets a president to all other nations that we don’t respect Iran’s sovereignty. So why should any of them respect OURS!

I don’t believe Dr. Paul is comfortable with the idea of a nuclear Iran, but he is far more fearful of the long term effect on our nations sovereignty and the well being of our military families.

If Iran eventually acquires nukes, then let them have them. But they won’t get them from U.S. or any of our allies. And if they are aggressive (nuclear or otherwise) towards U.S. or any of our allies, we go to congress, declare war, and wipe Tehran off of the map.

Dear G. David Ballentine,

Quit parroting what the corporate media tell you. Paul polls best against Obama than any of the other Republicans, drawing more independents and many democrats. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2011/12/04/new-iowa-poll-has-ron-paul-best-able-to-defeat-obama/

Best wishes,
Bob

YOu and people like you are what is wrong with America. Paul is electable if you negative asswhipes would vote for him. THere is and never will be a perfect candidate, but Paul is as close as we have come so far to perfect. WE all need YOUR HELP, to get this man elected, so we have a chance to save this great country. Incidently I see nothing good about Romney or Gingrich, as they are both more of the same status quo.

This clown is probably a Packer fan, because they won the super bowl last year. Get off the band-wagons and vote with what’s in your head, not what’s on your head (eyes and ears for the simpletons and liberals reading this) . Who represents what YOU want out of a President? Don’t vote for who “might” poll better against a socialist dictator. That is how we got here in the first place, and why so many are upset with the socialist policies that have followed for over fifty years. Vote for the smaller government candidate if that is what you want = RON PAUL…….vote for fiscal responsibility if that is what you want = RON PAUL….vote for the candidate that will adhere to the constitution (even if his personal idea’s are out of alignment with yours – because he is less likely to shove those idea’s down your throat without congressional approval, which is also part of your voice if you vote correctly – with your head not your eyes and ears) = RON PAUL. Quit whinning after the election because you voted for the candidate that the pied piper told you “polled” better than the results you desired. GET OFF THE BANDWAGONS and blaze a new trail, like our forefathers did!!

Ron Paul’s age matters not to me. And he is very electable. Yes oparrot quit repeating what main stream media has pumped into your brain. And think for yourself. I think Ron Paul’s stance on foriegn policy is right on. And concerning Israel, he is correct. We need to back off and let them take care of their own business. Right now Israel enenies are funded by more U.S. tas dollars than Isreal. So by backing off from funding foriegn nations, we are actually being more supportive of Israel. He is actually more supportive of Israel than any other “conservative” candidate. (keyboard messed up no way to correct spelling)

Yeah, they told that to Regan as well. Guess they aren’t as smart as they tell you they are.

“Unfortunately, he has two major things against him – not the least of which is his age. He is simply “un-electable” against Obama.”

Age? Seriously? Woudn’t that make him the most experienced and qualified, being at his age in politics and having such a solid voting record?

“You don’t want to back the most Conservative candidate in the election, you want to put your marbles all on the Conservative candidate who stands the greatest chance of winning”

I believe that has got to be the most flawed circular logic I’ve ever heard

And um… I seem to have missed the second major thing against him.

I like to stick to the issues. Bring the troops home, protect our borders, stop these unconstitutional wars. Audit the Fed, they are the cause of bankruptcy, spending money that we don’t have, printing it out of thin air, devaluing our money supply. End this arbitrary fiat money and base it on tangible principles. Balance the budget.
Obama is increasing our federal debt by $49,000 every second he has been President. Obama wants the U.N. controlling our voting and a one world government. No to any One World Order, we must keep our sovereignty. Follow the Constitution, there is not one other presidential candidate that has all these issue principles, not one. Vote Ron Paul in 2012.

Here is my Trusted List so far.
Ron Paul
,
Allen West,
Senator Jim DeMint, 

Senator Rand Paul,

Senator Mike Lee, 

Sarah Palin,

Michelle Bachmann (she won’t audit the Fed yet),

Todd Jones,
Pat Toomey,

Darrell Issa,
As Senator Mike Lee said, “We need Ted Cruz in the Senate
Marco Rubio

And WHY is he unelectable? Until now, I didn’t know exactly how he stood on foreign policy, and when he said Iran may as well have a nuclear bomb, that scared me! But the more I learn, the more I like him.I’ve always liked that he believes in following the Constitution. What other candidates do?
Whoever we elect, we’d better be damned sure to pick the right one. I think this is our last chance to get America back.

How do you know Dr. Paul can’t win if we don’t nominate him? We compromised on our values and nominated the “centrist” that we thought had the best chances to attract the independents and beat Obama in 2008. How’d that turn out for us? The Democrats keep moving further and further to the left(Communism)over the years and we have responded by moving in the same direction so as to appease the moderates. No one is any better off or any more enthusiastic about the direction this country is headed.

Let us stand by our convictions, WIN OR LOSE, and nominate the candidate who believes in and unashamedly endorses not only printed word but the SPIRIT of our founding documents. If the plurality of average voters do not flock to us then we are all doomed either way.

You don’t help the cause by sounding like a communist. If we don’t agree we should shut up or be run out of the country. No dissenting opinion allowed or tolerated.
