Ron Paul is the only true American(USA)in the race for POTUS. WHY has
no one mentioned that he tried for years to get HR 1146 passed to preserve
our sovereignty? Well – maybe it was HR 1149. Sorry – but my 81 year old
brain tends to forget.

hopefully it is 2 for 45

I too hope that Ron Paul wins in Iowa! They have acurately predicted “1″ of the last “44″ Presidents! The odds are in our favor!

Dr. Paul supports the small government, deregulation, and unbalanced tax code that is central to so called Reganomics. It is not hysteria to point out we have had these policies since the 1980s and they are central to our economic problems today. It is not hysteria to point out the philosophy of government embodied in so called Reaganomics that lead to recessions/depressions in 1819, 1837, 1888, 1932, and 2008.

It is also not hysteria to point out we had a recession in the middle of the Reagan Administration and a stock market crash. It might be more than a bit of euphoric recall to a say we had a good or great economy under Reagan. It remains difficult to see Dr. Paul offers anything different than this philosophy of government and economics.

I would be pleased if the doofi in the “mainstream” media would just report the facts instead of basing all their opinions about the one candidate for President that will work to reduce government on the thought that he may have some viewpoints different from their own. And this goes double for the mealy-mouthed sock-puppets at the top of the Republican Establishment, an entity that those at the top claim doesn’t exist.

If not now, when? If not us, who?

Besides: What other candidate for President has proposed reducing government spending to match revenues?

Many call Dr. Paul an isolationist. He just doesn’t believe in invading other sovereign governments because we disagree with them. However, he endorses economic activity with other countries; he doesn’t believe in invading them first. He is ready to take up arms in the defense of the USA, but it has to be a justifiable danger, not an imagined one.

The fact that Ron Paul is steadily gaining support across the whole voting spectrum—is very scary to people on both sides of the isle—they each stand to lose many things if his policies are implemented–which is as much an attraction for me as his policies themselves——and it seems that the more of what appears on the surface to be “negative press”–that the other candidates and media are giving him–is actually assisting his campaign immensely–the fact that may people who have not heard of Ron Paul-or his policies–are now getting a first hand view of what they really are(which is more than he could have done on his own)–and seems to be processing that information to a logical conclusion and realize that his positions are not that radical after all(given the current state of affairs)———-so I would say to the media—keep it up—Ron Paul has “no dirt” so it’s just about his policies and I think his policies will withstand the scrutiny—and you’ll be helping him gain support. It’s ironic that the media would not give him equal time–and when they do now and get negative–it backfires on them and turns into a positive.
For those that are still on the fence and haven’t decided who they’re going to support—remember one thing–Ron Paul represents CHANGE–and change is what the vast majority have said in no uncertain terms–that you want——–a vote for anyone else in this election(including Obama) agrueably represents the STATUS QUO——Either CHANGE or the STATUS QUO–by definition–you can’t have both!!

Ron Paul is NOT a conservative. Many in the media are stating that Ron Paul is a liberal. Ron Paul is not a liberal. Ron Paul is a point removed from an anarchist and I firmly believe that. He would be dangerous as a president, much more so than Obama and I hate Obama.

Dan,

This is a common thing among people who have actually taken the time to dig into what RP is exactly saying. His positions require that the People also change, not just the political process. We have to realize that Ron Paul is a catalyst for the population to remember what made America great. Personal responsibility, Freedom and self-interest which create the proper environment for excellence. This can only work if a majority of people are still willing to fend for themselves and not take for granted the efforts of others. Have the America people lost their desire to identify themselves with what was great about America, or do they wish to continue to become enslaved by big gov’t and corporations.

It is clear that the establishment does not like RP, because he goes against their desire to control everything and everyone. the test here will be whether enough people will actually spend the few hours necessary to truly read the depth of his message and whether they will be awakened to his call for a return to values that will never be subject to expiry by time alone.

As a Canadian who truly appreciates the integrity and honesty of this statesman, I am hoping that his message will allow America to move forward by moving back to the core values that made it such a great nation.

This idea that Ron Paul’s foreign policy is dangerous is quite strange. No one ever says WHY it is dangerous, they just says it’s dangerous.
If Iran were to develop a nuclear weapon and attempt to use it against Israel they would be defeated immediately. Israel has an impressive missile defense system and Israel has nuclear weapons too so they would be able to defeat an attack from Iran.
The United States would be able to do the same thing in Iran that we did in Iraq in the first week of the invasion in 2003. The USA could have won that war and secured Iraq in less than a month. I am a 1980′s Marine Corps veteran and I was appalled when the Bush administration stopped the Marines from taking Fallujah when they got there during the initial ground assault. The Marines could have easily secured Fallujah like they did every other city they went into. The reason for not taking Fallujah was that the Bush administration wanted to train the Iraqi’s how to do that and let them take Fallujah with us. “ABSURD” That allowed a massive buildup of resistance in Fallujah because training the Iraqi’s would take months. I knew at that moment that we had no intention of winning in Iraq. Common sense would tell anyone that it would be best to secure the entire area first and then go about humanitarian and nation building goals. One doesn’t need a West Point degree to see that and I don’t have one either. The United States could unilaterally defeat Iran in less than a month IF we wanted to and without using nuclear weapons.
People talk about dangerous foreign policy and then ignore the fact that WE are helping Al Qaeda in Libya and we knew that we were way back in March 2011, that’s when it was revealed to the public at any rate. How is it that we can be fighting them in Iraq and helping them in Libya? There is plenty of documentation available and a quick internet search for “US helping Al Qaeda in Libya” will yield about 34,200,000 results (0.27 seconds).
I think dangerous foreign policy is the practice of running around the world performing regime changes in the name of God and in the name of democracy. A country must want to be free and willing to fight for it and ask for our help. If we go in and destroy their government and give them something they are not willing to fight for and didn’t ask for then they will lose it as soon as we are gone. There are plenty of tyrants we ignore so there is a lot of hypocrisy there. How are we making allies anywhere with that logic?
I am certainly no fan of Iran but they have expressed the desire for talks with the US concerning their nuclear program and other things, we have brushed aside those requests. Maybe I am wrong but I think we could accomplish a lot by sitting at the negotiations table with Iran and any other country we are at odds with for that matter. If that fails then go to war but we have rejected all requests for talks.
I am an infantry Marine, an 0311 ground pounder. I believe in a strong military, a strong defense and a strong offense when necessary. I also believe that war should be the last option. That is apparently dangerous foreign policy but that is the policy I prefer.
I support an audit of the Fed and also holding people accountable for fraud. I believe the Fed was intended to get us away from the gold standard. So if we got back to the gold standard, in time we could get away from the FED. The FED gives us a fiat money which is the source of many of our money problems.
Actually Libya had their own banking system, not part of IMF, that was based on a gold standard. There was virtually no debt in Libya when we took over there, excuse me, when NATO took over. Incidentally, the central bank in Libya was the first thing that the Al Qaeda rebels went after and they formed their own central bank in March 2011, months before the Libya was secured. That is an odd tactic and should be looked at, actually that is the first time in history that has ever happened. Usually rebels take over a country and then structure is set up.
I think Ron Paul sounds so scary because it sounds strange to do things constitutionally. We are so used to our presidents and our congress over-stepping the bounds of the constitution to “protect us” that we find it strange and scary to actually abide by the constitution. The Neo-Cons mostly and some Liberals don’t like that idea and panic because they see Americans are waking up to that fact. Hopefully enough of us will wake up in time and the constitution can be restored.

Paul tells it like it is and some people are afraid of him as they are not used to hearing things that our government has been doing so wrong for so many years despite the party in control at the time. He is not a flip-flopper but a man of conviction. Some consider his views radical especially when it comes to foreign policy but we have been “doing it wrong” for so many years that any new ideas on how to “do it right” are not easy to accept. That said, more and more voters are slowly and consistently embracing his way of thinking. Problem is he may just be too honest, too idealistic to fit into the political landscape in Washington making it difficult for him to be effective assuming he received the nomination. If in fact he does, Paul would need to choose a running mate to “balance out” his views in order to make him more electable. Bottomline Paul is a serious candidate and many more are just now coming aboard with the media sadly lacking behind!

I must admit that I am not in favor of all Mr. Paul’s ideas. However, there is an old adage that a person should be judged, not by his friends, but by the caliber of his enemies. The US media is only approved of my 10% or so of the people. The numbers are even worse for Congress. If those two bodies oppose Mr. Paul, that means that 90% of Americans are against that opposition. The enmity of such dis-functional groups could well be a plus. I am of the mind that anything or anyone opposed to by our current government and their lackeys is definitely worth a second look.

I’m doing what a lot of people are doing. Turning off the media and look into the person’s background. So far Ron Paul has stood his ground. The more they attack the better he looks. What we need now in my opinion is someone like him to derail us off this liberal/progressive track and bring us back to our Republic.

I feel that Ron Paul is the most dangerous candidate from either party! His stance on foreign affaires in general and particularly his position on nuclear proliferation throughout the middle east and, given recent events Africa, borders on the criminal! I feel that perhaps Winston Churchill said it best. “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last”
I can agree, even eagerly with most of his ideas on the economy however. The two areas I I dispute are in regard to the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard.
I agree that the Federal Reserve was a bad idea from it’s inception and that it should immediately be audited! That being said, the institution has been around for so long that every other industrialized has developed their own. If we desolve ours now our purchasing power will be reduced to that of a third world country! It cannot succeed with unalateral application!
I too regret that we deserted the Gold Standard, but again it’s been the accepted method for so long that to reinstate it, unalaterally, would again reduce our buying power to an unacceptable leval!

The attacks on Ron Paul are based on the puppet strings effect. The whining puppets are fighting for their place at the public trough.

Ron Paul is a peoples candidate, not a corporate puppet.
