The most powerful document ever created by mankind, has been ignored for too long. Look where we are now!


Why is Ron Paul so different than all the others, including our now sitting(& golfing) President?
How was Ron Paul able to predict in 1988 and again in 2003, exactly where we are today?(He was called looney then)

Why is Obama barely different than Bush was?
Why are all the guys(& gal) on the GOP stage just like Obama, McCain & Bush?

No Change at all!

Why is Ron Paul so different?
Because Ron Paul's image is of the bony crypt keeper.

I have seen old videos of him on tv "morton downey jr. show" and he was angry and shouting and rude. Then there's his rude racist papers which were written not so long ago.

That's the image I keep of him.

Today he's a desiccated old political hack. He's conservative when it suits him but most of the time he's a progressive yet reactionary crap stirrer.

As a republican I don't understand what his platform is. He's "so called" independent-libertarian. But he's not.

Don't like him.

Can't vote for him.

In my opinion his politics is the sour chunky milk in a carton you find in the back of your fridge.

Definitely not fresh.

sigh.. The reason behind earmarks is to get the money back to ones who paid in. All Congressional spending should be earmarked since they are transparent.
The President controls the non earmark spending. That's too much power for one person to have.

He never wrote those letters. Only ignorant people with agendas try to push that.

You do not uphold the republican ideals. You are ignorant of his policies.
educate yourself

Nothing of substance in this entire post. Just another big government rant by someone who doesn't believe in personal responsibility.

Oh noes... the sky is falling! Imagine that? A candidate who doesn't try to legislate morality and believes in individual freedoms. I'm not an advocate of prostitution by any means, but hey if someone is that desperate, that they have to pay to get some, then as long as it is between 2 consenting adults who are you or anyone else to dictate what they do? I assume you're a Christian. If I'm not mistaken, Mary Magdelene was a prostitute right? When the masses were going to stone her because of her profession, and Jesus stopped it, as a Christian do you agree with it? Or, would you have been the one in the crowd saying "let's stone her to death?" Based on your rants, I'm betting the latter, which in turn would go AGAINST Jesus's message! The bottom line is, what 2 consenting adults do as long as nobody is harmed, is between them, and God! Not you, not me, not anyone else! Especially not the government!

Exactly why I'm voting for him. What have republicans actually done for this country? Nothing.

As for illegal drugs and prostitution:

- I have a right to do whatever I want to my body and it is not an inefficient government's job to tell me what's right and wrong for me.

- I have a right to have sex with anyone I want to that is of adult age and consents to it. If that involved me compensating them with money then I have a right to do so. If I take her out to a series of dinners/meals first when all I want is the sex, is the government going to arrest me for that?

I'd personally never do hard drugs or pay for sex, but I don't think it's the government's place to tell people they can't do it if they choose.

Keyword: Choice.....as in mine, I make it, not you.

Exactly the point I was making in my post above yours.

Here why Ron Paul is different than all the paid for flip flopping republican puppets. This is really telling:
