Well to be fair you are framing the votes of other members of congress into the context of your (hyperbole meter off the charts) opinion, nobody is signing a bill that says destroy the country.

I seem to remember threads where you admonish aggressive behavior and language in support of ones candidate...good to see its fair game for denouncing your favorite hated candidate...keep up the good work.

You mean the people WE vote into office, don't like them vote them out, that is if you have someone to replace them that is better and you can get the vioters to agree with your POV. Nice personal attack, but nothing new from the Paul fanatics, everyone one of you has done the exact same thing, speak volumes when it comes down to seeing who his followers Really are, thanks for continuing to expose it.

I did not call Paul anything, you might want to take a reading comprehension course then re-read the post and those it applied to before posting further, it will help keep you from looking quite so foolish.

If you have leadership qualities, you can get things done and sway people to your way of thinking...especially in twentysomething years. We need a president who can get things done, not a visionary only with big ideas and no action.

What the heck is the matter with ALL of the other candidates for not bringing this up?
That is the reason why this country is fvck up. If more of his bills get passed, then this country will be in right path.

The ruling class destroying this country and yet, the sheep is still supporting them blindly.

You mean sway people into thinking Iraq was a threat and had WMD? Sway people into thinking having very little privacy is a good thing? All based on LIES?


If the American people had been truly talked into thinking all of the BS we have been put through such as the NDAA, the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, the bank bailouts, Ron Paul would not even be on the Top 5! Nobody would care about him.

The fact that he is getting more and more support each day should tell you we are sick of the bullsh*t and the lies.

We are sick of being lied to by people who are NOT working for US.

We are sick of empty promises, we are sick of candidates who change their mind every 5 minutes, we are sick.of.it.

I agree vote em out. But you are the one who tried to categorize the issue as one crackpotness not me - The issue is one of what are the true intentions of those who serve in office - it aint for those whom they supossedly represent unless you are for legalized plunder, inefficiency, corruption, lies, and never ending financial problems while they make $$$ off of the chaos.

I am certainly not a Paul fanatic but I know when Americans have been brainwashed and screwed by their so-called servants. Which again you seem to think are levelheaded wise leaders who have our best interest at heart. Sucker!

True but it's a sampling of the sort of legislation he keeps trying to push and that keeps getting rejected. Just because you are a lone voice of reason in a house of corruption and delusion does not mean that you should keep silent nor does it mean that you should give up.
