If you are anti-Ron Paul...have you ever even READ anything that he stands for? Do you know his voting record?

Question

Do you know anything that he stands for?

Or, are you just listening to the BS through mainstream media who already have "their" picks?

Answer 1

I'm not anti Ron Paul, but I see what you mean. That's why it's so important to do your OWN research before voting in the elections, not listening to the media. Read up on their voting history, stances and all that.

I did that and found that I agree with Ron Paul the most.

Answer 2

Nah, I think the people who are "anti-Ron Paul" are simply authoritarians like Giuliani who can't understand what a free country is all about. There's no way you'll ever win their votes. Instead, let's talk to the people who haven't yet heard about Dr. Paul, or who haven't really started thinking seriously about the election yet. They're not anti-anyone yet. Most people haven't started to consider their options yet, because it's so early.

I think it's also important to point out that Dr. Paul is very pro-American. His stance opposing the War in Iraq doesn't mean that he is opposed to the courageous acts of our troops there. He just believes that it wasn't a good strategic move to go to Iraq, and I think recent events have bourne that out. He supported the action in Afghanistan, and believes we should have focused on getting Osama when we had the chance. He also believes, as Ronald Reagan did, that nation-building is a fool's mission. No good has ever come from meddling in other country's affairs, and if we don't take a more humble stance in the world, only harm can come from it. It's important to stand up for our rights, but it's also important to let other nations handle their own affairs.

Answer 3

Yes, and even if I hadn't, I would still think he has no chance whatsoever. He has SOME good platforms, but he is an isolationist and that would destroy America. Aside from that and regardless of his positions, he is not presidential, he doesn't carry himself well enough, doesn't have the look or moxy if you will, and while that shouldn't matter, it does. The average American voter is superficial, so looks and presentation go a long way (just look John Edwards, he's done absolutely nothing and his is one of the front runners of the Dems). Besides, Paul is running 10th out of 10.

Answer 4

Excellent question.

I have a good feeling that people will start to pay attention to him now. He recieved applause after most of his answers, all except one answer if I recall correctly. None of the other candidates were close in that respect.

Some claim he is "out of touch". Judging by the applause from the crowd, I would say not.

As for the forum itself, didn't you just love how Rudy, Mitt, and McCain were in the center when all of the candidates were together, and Ron Paul was on the end?

This guy is for real.

Answer 5

I'm Pro Ron Paul and I have read his voting record yes. People need to really take a hard look at him before they discount him like the mainstream media likes to. I grew up in a country where I was taught that ANYONE could be president. Not just those born into privilege.


Who's background sounds more likes yours?

Giuliani was born in Brooklyn, New York to working-class parents Harold Angel Giuliani and Helen C. D'Avanzo, both children of Italian immigrants. The family was Roman Catholic and its extended members included police officers, firefighters, and criminals.[11] Harold Giuliani had trouble holding a job and had been convicted of felony assault and robbery and served time in Sing Sing prison;[12] after his release he served as a mafia enforcer for his brother-in-law Leo D'Avanzo, who ran an organized criminal loan sharking and gambling operation out of a restaurant in Brooklyn.[13]

In 1951, when Rudy Giuliani was seven, his family moved from Brooklyn to Garden City South on Long Island. There he attended a local Catholic school, St. Anne's.[14] Later, he commuted back to Brooklyn to attend Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, graduating in 1961. He received College Board scores of 569 verbal and 504 math.[15] He went on to Manhattan College in Riverdale, The Bronx, graduating in 1965. He then attended New York University School of Law in Manhattan, graduating *** laude with a Juris Doctor in 1968.


Paul was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Howard Caspar Paul (1904–1997), the son of a German immigrant, and Margaret Paul (1908–2001), who owned a dairy farm outside Pittsburgh.[4][5] He was the third of five sons born during the Great Depression.[4] In his early years, Paul worked at his parents' dairy, delivered newspapers and worked in a drugstore.[4]

He graduated from Dormont High School in Dormont, Pennsylvania in 1953. Paul attended Gettysburg College while delivering mail and laundry on the side, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1957.[4]

He was then accepted to Duke University School of Medicine, where he received his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in 1961. He did his internship training at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit from 1961 to 1962[4] and residency at the University of Pittsburgh from 1965 to 1968.

Wake up America!

It's time to take our country back!!

Answer 6

Yes, I DO know Ron Paul and I like him. I don't agree with the cr*p that the media and the GOP is doing to him...because he SERIOUSLY is the ONLY good choice which would save the USA from the hole that it has dug because of the most recent 4 Presidents...yes, that includes your beloved Reagan who deregulated everything so the companies can scr*w you over more!

Answer 7

I was really turned off by Ron Paul after his comment at the South Carolina debate, regardless of what he meant to say.

Answer 8

"Anti" is not the right word.He is just not worth reading or thinking about.

Answer 9

As a Texan, I am familiar with Ron Paul.

Quite frankly, anyone who coddles up to Bill Mahr has some serious issues.
