Ron Paul seems to be some what transcend the dividing...?

Question

wall that separates the two major ideologies. Yet, he retains his constitutional agenda for limited government. Are some Americans on both sides of that party, finally waking up to the fact that our founding fathers MAY have been RIGHT about LIMITED government? Like, liberal socialism never works, like REAL constitutional conservatives don't sell our constitution out for a cheap assed morbid fantasy titled "the north american union!??? Anybody with comments are welcome!

Answer 1

He's more of a libertarian than a republican conservative. Which is a good thing, libertarians = more economic and social freedoms. What's not to like?

You're right, liberal socialism never works, since it takes away our economic freedom, nor does the hardline christian right, which takes away our social freedoms. With the libertarian views, we can have our cake and eat it too, so to speak.

Although, I'd much prefer to live in a very conservative America, as opposed to a very liberal one.

Answer 2

I am still not convinced that Ron Paul would offer real change in our country's political community. He has thus far caused those in the two-party system to be a bit uncomfortable. The North American Union, I believe is a cause for great concern. Is political socialism right? Not quite. What about the Christian Coalition? Still it will end up taking away rights we have all enjoyed. What about political conservatism? Still it doesn't provide for Americans that cannot provide for themselves. They offer bad policies that hurt everyone. Just because you are not in a haphazard situation, what gives you the idea that you won't be in such a situation in the near future?

Answer 3

Another open door invitation - LOL - good for you

Transcending the divide is not what he is doing - he has ALWAYS been this way - its just that other people are beginning to listen to what he is saying

When he talks and they actually listen - suddenly they realize that what he is saying coincides with what theybelieve their party is supposed to be about - so they begin to pay closer attention

the light bulb eventually goes on as truth needs no defedning - RP only needs to state the facts and point to the source -anyone wanting to say he is wrong simply needs to discredit the source - thus far it hasnt been done - why - because its the truth

Go Ron Paul

Answer 4

Personally, I have found that even though more moderates on each side of the political spectrum may share a few beliefs of their extremist counterparts, they rarely see eye-to-eye with them.
The reason for this, are most people don't believe in such extremist ideals, nor is there such fine lines that divide moderates on either side from one another. for instance, they(different side of the political spectrum) may have the same views on an issue, but may very greatly in the way they see that the issue should be handled.
the extremists, denounce everyone who doesn't share the same view on every issue, and doesn't feel it should be handled the same way, as the other side of the political spectrum.
Both fringe groups act very similar to each other, and it appears the only reason they are actually tolerated by the side of their own political spectrum, is because they attempt to brute force the issue, and once it is trimmed down, polished up, and "made weak" in the extremists' views, it is pretty much acceptible to most moderates, and most voters are more moderate. Once in a great while the extremists may hit the nail on the head, but that is very very rare.

I agree with several of Ron Paul's beliefs. I think he shares a lot of beliefs with the majority of Americans, but i think he is doomed in the Republican primaries, because it appears that on that side of the politicial spectrum, non-extremist views are a weakness, these days.
The best way for Ron Paul to make it, would to start now, and fight the disinformation, and politically extreme propoganda on both sides of the political spectrum.
This means he is going to have to set himself apart from the rest of the republican party and attack their extremists without alienating their moderates. Which may or may not win the votes of the left leaning moderates, if he should succeed in surviving the extremists in the republican primaries.
he is going to have to start now, and show people he is above party, but not above the people, something that seems awful hard for politicians to do.
Currently it appears he is trying to appeal to moderates on most issues, liberals on somes issues, and right-wing extremists on a few, someone like that must be scrutinized very carefully.

two other things, he may wish to consider:
- what is a child that is born on American soil considered, no matter what their parents' origin is?
- where would most Americans be today if 200 years ago, everyone who came here without permission, and their offspring where sent back to their home countries?

Answer 5

genuine financial conservatives love paul. the republican social gathering exchange into hi-jacked by the neoconservatives a pair a protracted time back, and that they have redefined the republican social gathering. while somebody says republican...you think of of the bush administration...its a severe misinturpretation. genuine republicans are anti conflict, and professional existence. you get a conflict mongerer professional selection candidate (all reps yet mr paul interior the 08 election), thats a super crimson flag....they're neocons. Paul exchange into railroaded by the mainstream media as a results of fact he's a real risk to the capability shape (the federal reserve). so as that they did each little thing obtainable to maintain him out of the information durring the 08 debates and RNC. have self assurance it our no longer, he exchange right into a candidate till the convention..it exchange into by no potential purely mccain...as a results of fact the media potrayed. he's a republican. some call him a libertarian ,yet he stands for a hundred% of genuine conservative ideologies. he did run of the libertarian presidential cost ticket in 1988...yet he has continually been a republican. he won't run as a libertarian lower back, as a results of fact he's acquainted with that third social gathering applicants do no longer et elected.

Answer 6

He's a classical liberal influenced by the likes of John Locke and Adam Smith. He's a strict constitutionalist. Ron Paul will defend our rights.

Answer 7

My family has believed this for a long time. So far, Mr. Paul is the only candidate I think I may possibly vote for.

Answer 8

Why all this fuss about a guy who commands 2% following from his own party.

Can you drop this pretence that Paul is anything but an outsider playing along for the sake of it?

And can you tell me how a man who wants to deport children who were born here and have never known another home could possibly appeal to a liberal?

Answer 9

I think conservatives and liberals alike are now realizing how dangerous neo-conservatives are to our freedoms and individual rights.
