Why is Ron Paul the only TRUE Conservative who has a plan to decrease the size of government?

Question

Why do FAKE conservatives really want a huge government infrastructure?

Why don't they dare investigate what Ron Paul says,
why do they constantly buy into and seem to like being lied to? Is it willful ignorance?

Answer 1

Because he is not?
As all populists he lies
everytime his lips are moving.

Answer 2

I agree whole heartedly with Ron Paul's idea that the US should withdraw from the rest of the world and isolate.

I am an isolationist. The problem is, his contention that it is the only constitutional thing to do is flawed. He will get no place jumping up an down complaining that every person in the congress, including himself, is a criminal in violation of the constitution.

The only way Ron Paul could get anything done is if he were to become our monarch. Congress would never cooperate with him.
Not going to happen.

I am able to set emotion aside and understand his contention that American foreign policy has compromised our ability to profit in trade and has in large part facilitated terrorist recruitment. He refuses to articulate, however, that is was inadvertent.

He has only made it more difficult for people like me who can make sense of an incremental move toward some sort of isolation with border control, a reasonable immigration policy, a trade policy that is more complicit with laws preventing exchanges with subsidized companies and a military policy that demands more participation from allies.

He thinks it can be done radically and over night. True conservatives don't do radical change. Until he realizes that, he has no shot.

Ron Paul is a gynecologist not a constitutional scholar.

Answer 3

I support Ron Paul, but my God, PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS LIKE THIS.. over and over again..


EDIT: Tip, the republican party has traditionally always been the anti-war/less government party.. the party has lost it's way not Paul, and he was elected into Congress as a republican and has been one for several years..

To the other claims, he never said he can do anything over night, he has addressed problems and proposed SOLUTIONS.. he has also said implementing his ideas will be a process, and he will have to work with Congress to do so..

EDIT: Dancer, so you want to hold him accountable for something he has no control over..

I'm a minority, I support Paul because of where he stands on the issues, not because of the ideologies of a select few of his ignorant supporters..

and the entire "Ron Paul is racist" bit was discredited months ago. If you're going to waste time, don't do it spreading false information.

Esp. considering, he has written articles which appear on his congressional website OPPOSING racism..

Some quotes from Ron Paul:

"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.

The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity."

Answer 4

Paul is extra libertarian than genuine conservative; Kucinich is extra modern than "genuine" liberal (extra to the left). once you cherry %. an exceedingly few difficulty the place they are in contract, it is not suprising you additionally can cause them to look comparable. surprisingly once you distort what they help. Paul opposes any regulation of companies; Kucinich helps a reliable regulatory device (as all SANE human beings do). Paul opposes income tax (favoring sales tax which hurts the adverse and would not result the rich); Kucinnich helps a widespread income tax (the place the poorer you're, the cheaper value you pay). Uh, to declare Kucinnish opposes "interference" of the fed gov with the loose marketplace ought to no longer be extra from the reality. As I stated, he would not accept as true with Paul that rich human beings must be allowed to thieve anyone else's funds and not pay tax. Your characteriszation of Obama is as bat-sh*t loopy as your characterization of Kucinnich. Obama would not help doing away with very own freedoms and possibilities (the wing-nuts AKA members of the Republican party DO). Giving banks the wonderful to create funds? Huh? Uh the wing-nut party OPPOSES any regulatory device that should avert rich human beings from stealing evreyone else's funds. Dunno the place you bought your summaries of countless human beings's and group's stands, yet everywhere you bought them, those individuals have been mendacity to you enormous time. you ought to give up believing what liars permit you be attentive to. No, the branch is between people who think of the rich ought to very own government and government ought to serve the rich, and people who think of the government ought to serve the citizenry as an entire.

Answer 5

Ron Paul is running on the Republican ticket simply becasue a 3rd party won't be elected in this country. but make no mistake- Paul is a Libertarian, through and through. NO Republican would hold the military in such open disdain as Paul does. his view points are VERY refreshing. I Like his "Market based" outlook on things. he is right- a free market economy and society set to regulate itself will be INFINITELY more effective than one that is run/ ruined by big government.

but his lack of vision regarding national security is alarmingly lacking in reality. I cna't support him for that reason alone.

Answer 6

A LoneStarTimes.com investigation has conclusively established that a leading figure in the American neo-Nazi / White-Supremacist movement has provided financial support to Ron Paul’s 2008 Presidential campaign.

The individual in question is Don Black, the founder, owner and operator of Stormfront, a “white power” website that both professional journalists and watch-dog groups have identified as the premier English-language racist/hate-site on the Internet.

Answer 7

Why does Ron Paul call himself a Constitutionalist while running as a Republican when he is clearly a Libertarian? Everybody lies fr political gain even Ron Paul, the reason why conservatives support who they do is because the winner of the election is either going to be a democrat or a republican and they fear democrats more so they aren't going to make the mistake they made when perot was running and vote third party to ensure a demcrat win

Answer 8

Ron Paul is a libertarian. If that means he is conservative than he is a conservative. However I doubt most conservatives would agree that he is really conservative. His ideas border on anarchy. If by some miracle he ever would become President he would have to get his crazy ideas through Congress. That isn't likely to happen and so we would have a stalemate worse than any we have experienced lately.

Answer 9

The truth is most "conservatives" today don't want small government. They are like the "liberals" , they just want to fight about what the government spends the money on.

Unfortunatly , true conservatives are a dying breed

Answer 10

Because most Americans like what their government does for them. That is why Libertarianism never really catches on, except among people who think they can do it all for themselves and never envision a time when they need a hand up. Or they think that corporations will suddenly just do stuff that is good for everyone instead of polluting us and working us to death.

Answer 11

because to ultra conservative neocons, Small government Republicans are now considered liberal rinos.
