I am no big fan of Franks either but in reality he has a lot of power in the {D} party. When him and Paul find common ground they will work together, they have introduced legislation for a war tax. Which I support if there was a tax that came out of the peoples paychecks a lot of the interventionist neo con/lib policy would come to a end.
Of course we know you are a fiscal conservative and you prefer to run up 800 billion in debt. {R}s like you give conservatives a bad name.
What is wrong with finding common ground? did Reagan work with Tip O Neil? how about Bush that you voted twice for that said Teddy was a great legislature and how he likes to work with him. Your selective Alzheimer's made you forget that right?
I do not give a s*** about Barney being gay and he has been way wrong on a lot of issues, but sometimes he has been on the right side.
Anyone who sides with a progressive like Frank and lets the membership of that committee be 11 progressives from places like CAP doesn't deserve any of my support. Besides that Paul is not a conservative, of any kind, and he doesn't think he can be nominated by the GOP but is willing to beat somebody else out in order to help Romney as much as possible and I don't want Romney.
What is this $800 billion of debt? Would that be about Bush? I don't remember supporting him but I just couldn't vote for the people who ran against him. I have stopped voting for Democrat socialists, starting with George McGovern and all of them since him have been too far left for me. The party left me sitting when they nominated him in 1972 and have been nominating too far left ever since.
While Paul is no doubt attrative to many of the disenfrachised, and even some young voters, and of course libertarians, he is still part of the establishment.
I doubt he would be capable of going as far as he states with some of his platform.
The mediaa does not like him, or give him the time of day, and I really doubt he is electable.
We are very near on the reasons why Paul isn't acceptable. His willingness to go along with all those progressive people (11 out of 14) on that commission is what tore it for me.
We should cut trillions out of defense spending. And trillions more out of other government programs.
Ron Paul in 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the only candidate that has the balls to reduce government spending and power.
And he would be running against a candidate just the opposite of what you say other than defense. I am sure Obama beats Paul without even making any promises.
I have a very high opinion of Ron Paul, and the opposite of Frank. Frank was big at Fannie Mae, or was it Freddie Mac? Ahh it was Fannie. Here's about the Frank and Fannie connection.
Most people in this thread don't realize that Bush tried to get something done about Fannie Mae and Frank was at the top of the "There is nothing wrong with Fannie Mae" about a year before the el foldo began.
Your post is a mixture of some reasons why I support Ron Paul and some very misunderstood proposed laws. Moving power from the federal level to the state level does not mean one opposes those powers.
You should understand your links better or at least read them without the talking points.

I really think that Paul, as the highest ranking Republican on the committee that appointed these people sold us out because as Beck says the $1 trillion in ten years they agreed to cut would have been ok if it hadn't been such a heavily progressively leaning group.
I forgot to say that I have been against Paul for this very lack of performance since I know what CAP and the others really are. Of course, Paul has had his name on too many racial mentions in his groups, too. I am hoping that anybody but Paul comes out of Iowa in good shape.
In case you can't figure out what they suggested we cut I can get you a link to too much of that.
Although I did read your link,your thread is invalid because you started it with"According to Glenn Beck"..Everyone but the craziest of crazies knows Beck is mentally challenged and irelevent to any discussion other than what meds to take for insanity that DO NOT work...the king of the crying RWNJs.
I agree with Frank...we should cut the defense budget to the bone and pump it into things we really need in this country...defense is not something we need to spend on...we have enough weapons to turn the earth to ash as it is.
Of course Ron Paul isn't electable. Look who is and HAS been electable for the past 4-5 decades. And the American voting idiots wonder why nothing ever changes. LOL. Paul also reached across the aisle to Frank to get legislation passed that would decriminalize and legalize marijuana...........oooohhhhhhhhh oh no..........god forbid we have people being able to smoke pot if they want to!!!!!!!! The old guard is doing whatever it can to maintain it's fraternity like grip on this country........but the youth of the America are waking up fast........hence why Ron Paul has so many young supporters.......they see what the old fuddy duddy farts in Congress and the White House have been doing to their country the past 50+ years while everyone else keeps voting these clowns into office. We can't wait till these old codgers war mongers like McCain start dying off.
