Who think that Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate who gets it?

Question

When I say "it", I mean "everything."

At one of the debates, Paul was trying the explain the idiocy behind the "They hate us for our freedom" argument. Anyone who actually believes that is a moron.

Paul was NOT defending the terrorists. He was explaining their motives. They hate the US because of our crappy foreign policies in the Middle East, and the US's meddling in their countries.

Ron Paul, unlike the other Republican candidates, understands that you can only push people so far before they start pushing back.

search_rescue_ranger, that has got to be the most ignorant thing you could have said.

RON PAUL IS NOT A HIPPIE!

He is a Vietnam War Vet, and maybe the reason he wants peace is because he's seen war firsthand. It looks like that's something you need to.

well, ranger, it seems I spke too soon, but it's wrong to accuse anyone who fought in Vietnam and then later opposed it of being a hippie.

Answer 1

His 6 Internet trolls who constantly spam all of the polls.

I hope for the sake of common sanity that you guys are getting paid for this crap.

Answer 2

Because Ron Paul is the only candidate with any idea of how to run a country and the Only one who understands that war and more specifically pointless wars cost money! But he will never be elected because people are to stupid to vote for him because he isn't preaching contradictory christian values, calling homosexuality a choice or a bush clone. Even though he is the most conservative out of all of them and understands the importance of the constitution! Damn i'm even thinking of moving to america, becoming a citizen and joining the Republicans just to vote for him! Vote Ron Paul foolish republicans, he'll give america it's former glory back. Or Ron Paul just run as a ******* independent!!

Answer 3

Ron Paul said security gaurds at a local mall can defend out country better than out military.

Ron Paul is loon. I was on his band wagon for a bit, but he started heading down a bumpy path who's end is only steep a steep cliff

Answer 4

I doubt Ron Paul even believes that crap.

Answer 5

I agree.

To sageandscholar, what do you mean by Ron Paul's platform is "mean spirited, radical, or plain wrong"?
Regressive taxes? The current taxes are supposed to be temporary when they were created, but the government got a taste of taxes that it doesn't want to let go. America was founded as a revolt to excessive taxation (5% tax was considered excessive), and the current taxes are now almost 50% of our income (all the combined federal, state, and local taxes plus sales tax and other excise taxes such as gasoline tax).

If you look at the UN security council's ability to do their job, you will see that they could not stop a country like the USA to invade another country like Iraq. The UN is supposed to stop big countries from bullying weak countries. The UN did not, or could not do that. That is why Ron Paul thinks that the USA being in the UN is redundant and unnecessary.

Answer 6

I agree, Ron Paul is the only one that gets it. In fact, I don't mean to be a conspiracy theorist, but take a look at the facts.
Our government is slowly but surely, taking our freedoms. How? Well, did you know we are no longer called the United States of America? That's right we are now known as the North American Union (or Community). Our new currency is called the "Amero". Next, the Patriot Act is in full effect, which grants the feds to search our homes without a warrant. Havieus Corpus? Nowhere to be found...How about the REAL ID cards that will go into effect immediately while the RFDI chips are completed. By the way, the chips will be in full effect by May 2008. Mark my words. We need Ron Paul to clean this mess up. In my opinion, he's our only hope.....
Vote Ron Paul in your state's primaries. Get the word out!

Answer 7

Agreed... there is a prinicpal of blowback witch the masses keep seem to missing.... Ron Paul has a full understanding of how our forigen policy aggravates other countries... He is NOT blaming Americans... just the policies that the government advocates... And this adminstration should be a prime example.. The Iraq war is clearly being faught under false pretenses.... Anyone who doesn't understand this concept has a poor understanding of history and poltics.. No matter what a religon advocates no one has that much pure haterd that they would take their own life... There are reasons behind it.. its not just they hate us because of our freedom.. many other countries have freedom as well.... Think and Do your research before you use bull excuses to try and justify this war.. Ron Paul is absolutely correct

Answer 8

First we {all Americans} have to understand that Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

The Constitution states:
The Congress shall have the right to declare war!
So, lets analyze that:

The Taliban, Sadaam Hussian, The people of Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, or Iran, have never officially declared war against the U. S.

The U.S.'s Central Intelligence Agency has identified a rogue group of very scattered terrorists calling temselves Al-Qaeda, the only real enemies of the U. S. because, apparently they are admitting responsibility for the 911 bombings.

So, the U. S. has declared war on Al-Qaeda!?!

Now if Al-Qaeda is scattered all over the world in small groups, how do the Americans fight them???
By declaring a conventional war on a whole country, or many countries, with the risk of costing the lives of many thousands,,,or by using other methods?

Well, Ron Paul, a former military man, is the only candidate that has researched the Constitution to find a method suitable to destroy small groups of hostiles!

That method is:
Congress shall have the power to,,,,grant letters of "Marque" {From Websters: pledge, retaliation} repraisal, and make rules concerning captures....etc.

Which simply means to give the authority in writing to groups of counter-terrorists, {C.I.A. types from "ANY" nation...Ah-La The French Foreign Legion} to use any means possible to eradicate the terrorist groups,,,,,under the strict control of the congress! {The American taxpayer would be supporting the counter terrorists.}

I ask you readers, wouldn't this method of warfare save hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars, & at the same time save the thousands of innocents caught in the crossfire of a civil war in Iraq?

I agree with Ron Paul's method,,,,bring the troops home now, to protect our home borders, instead of fighting a conventional no-win very expensive war!

In my opinion, the war issues are going to decide the next president of the USA, Americans are very tired of war, as the recent demonstrations in Washington D. C. demonstrated.
Thank you for reading.

Answer 9

I wouldn't be telling the neo-cons that Paul is a Vietnam vet. They managed to make heroes like McCain and Kerry out to be cowards and traitors - they wouldn't hesitate to do the same to your guy.
I agree that Paul is right about terrorists and the war. But it is clear that America's right wing do not want to hear anything other than "we are great - they suck and attack us - so let's blow all towelheads off the face of the earth".
My problem with Paul is the rest of his platform is either mean-spirited, dangerously radical or just plain wrong.
He advocates regressive taxation.
He advocates an isolationist foreign policy at a time when more and more of the problems we face are global and will require multi-lateral solutions.
He blames entities that tried to prevent our folly in Iraq for creating it (the Security Council and it's resolutions).

Answer 10

If he "got it" he would give up and drop out! He doesn't have a chance and is a "joke candidate." He made a total fool of himself at the last debate. He is not a Republican, he's a libertarian that changed parties to run for president.

He can't keep his cool during a debate. How are we suppose to trust him when things are difficult as president?

Sorry but I can't trust him and HE CAN NOT WIN! When a candidate has only 2% of the vote, that does not mean a victory in November 2008. Besides, he won't get the nomination! If, by some miracle he did, Hillary would demolish him in November!

He may have been high in some meaningless straw polls but SO WHAT! His supporters keep claiming that he WON the meaningless Iowa straw poll but even his website said he came in 5th.

GO FRED!
