The people I know and in my area are very helpful AND these people don't have money to spend yet have no problem pitching in. You should try it instead of wanting government to raise you from cradle to grave.
I was speaking of the posters here, had you managed to read an understand what I posted yo would have understood that. I have no desire to control anyone, that buckaroo, is simply more of you making your false claims.
I have no desire for he govenment to take care of me from cradle to grave and have never made any statements that say anything of the sort. In fact, I have given more to my government than I have ever recieved and everything I have I got through hard work on my part. Any other untruths you would care to share here with the readers?

I think you are reading/hearing what you want to hear...that isn't what anyone said.

Put on the tin foil hat. The same one that says big government is working.

LMAO I would remind you that YOU do not vote for any other state but your own. YOU do not vote for the FEMA officials. Get a clue.

The catch is we were not founded by the one size fits all theory where an oligarchy in Washington decides for the rest of the nation. We fought a revolution over that. A loose confederation of states, united states small u.

People like YOU need to change your vote and quit electing horrible candidates with failed policies. Most politicians have no backbone. If their constituents want something and they don't deliver they are out.


When people like you are voting for big government which continues to fail and hope things change you are only fooling yourself

Even if you had the knowledge, you don't speak for others and you do not have the ability to think for others as much as you would like too. Control freak mindset.

That is because you are not informed and dont understand how things work so you sell out to big government. But that is to be expected by those who love big government to raise them from cradle to grave and don't believe in personal responsibility and they are unwilling to do the hard work associated with it like a man would.
One simple reply to the entire rant by you above, Pure BS, best spread over a garden, hey it is spring here in Texas, thanks for the free load of manure, time for planting.

When almost every response to every statement of his must begin with "I didn't say that" it isn't worth the trouble, almost all of his arguments are against some extreme position he attributes to someone else then fights against.

I don't usually waste my time on with certain Paul supporters, (not all of them are moonbat crazy) but their habit of making false claims is so obvious to the readers here that their credibility is less than zero at this point. But hey, what can I say every once in a while it is fun to watch them yap and chase their tail, I know it is cruel but we all have to have hobbies

Paul is not saying don't help the victims. He is just asking the states and the charities do it. Paul doesn't love insurance companies - if he did, he wouldn't advocate for a free market. In a free market, the government wouldn't be bailing out insurance companies, like they bailed out AIG. Only Paul was against it, while everyone else including Obama was for it.

You do realize that this is a media ploy to get a soundbite out of Paul?

This is how it always happens:

Media: "Do you think Social Security is unconstitutional?"
Paul: "Technically yes, but I don't have any plans to get rid of it. I will actually protect it by ending the wars......etc. etc."

Guess what gets shown on TV and gets reported? ONLY the part where Paul says "Technically yes".

Media Verdict - OK, that's it, Paul wants to throw your grandma out on the streets. Here's proof and then shows that edited clip.

Public is horrified and thinks Paul is a heartless monster. Cycle repeat with some other social program.

When will we learn to see through these smoke and mirrors?

If Paul was heartless, he wouldn't have treated poor patients for FREE his ENTIRE LIFE. If it was Romney or Santorum who did this, they will be chanting this everyday on TV.

A truly compassionate man never boasts about his altruism.

What if it isn't in the state constitution?

I applaud Ohio for refusing Federal money!

They are going to prove that the Federal Government is not needed and show how the State can and will do a better job of what is needed, than some bureaucrat that has no clue what is going on as he sits in DC.

Decisions driven by emotion usually don't have the best results, you might want to take a step back and think about it. You may come to the same conclusion, but you sound like you need to think about it more.
