your thoughts on Ron Paul?

Question

Everywhere I look about Ron Paul most people say they like him best for president. As do I. But im curious, what are your thoughts? I heard that most polls say that he already won the debate. What do you think?

I like him for his , I guess, his opinions on our problems.
About how America is getting the freedom taken away,
hopefully with his help we can push that aside and not be a 'nazi germany' kinda of place. Its gotta end now.


All the stuff about National Id card, and the Read ID act, taking your freedom and priveledges away. The chips and the FEMA concentration camps. This is a NWO. I dont like it, I hate it.

If this doesnt end, its like we dont wanna lve here anymore.
And if you dont take your national id card (please dont)
you wont be able to do basically...anything..
but most people are against it so if you say NO we can all probley stop this.

Answer 1

Ron Paul is about 1 of 3 truly honest politicians in DC.

The rest are a bunch of crooks who spend your tax dollars foolishly, both Republican and Democrat.

I don't agree with all of Ron Paul's positions, but I like the fact that he doesn't base his answers on what is popular. Sometimes people need to be told the truth, whether they like it or not.

I recently joined the GOP to support him in the primary, I hope others will too. He is the only candidate who has a chance that is standing up to the NWO.

Answer 3

My thoughts on Ron Paul are that he is a modern day Thomas Jefferson, with a touch of the Sons of Liberty thrown in for good measure. I was reading a book of his that was put out in the mid 80's(when I was but a boy.)and was amazed that his positions are still the same as there where then, with very little change. The book is Freedom Under Siege--I advise reading it. He can explain himself far better than I can.

Answer 4

This is one of the reasons I 'm voting for Ron Paul, a looong read but worth it.

http://www.fame.org/HTM/Paper%20Money%20and%20Tyranny.htm

Here are some figures on the top contributers:

http://rabbit-hole-journey.blogspot.com/2007/11/campaign-contributors-of-media-anointed.html

So, let me compare a few:
Top contributer for Hillary: Dem.
International banking firm Goldman Sachs:
$350,050.

Obama: Dem.
Again Goldman Sachs:
$369,078.

Mitt Romney Republican:
"Again" Goldman Sachs:
$181,425.

Now doesn't that seem odd that Goldman contributes $900,553.00 to Top Teir candidates of both parties? Now if you were an office worker @ Goldman Sachs, chances are you "Might" chip in to contribute $100 or $200 to your favorite candidate. So, $900,553.00 divided by $200 equals 4,502 employees. Divided by $100 equals over 9,000 employees.

QUESTION: How many eligible American voters does Goldman Sachs employ?

Now when we look @ Ron Paul's contribution figures, we see that 3 of the Top 6 contributers are:
U.S. Army. #2.
U. S. Air Force. #6.
U.S. Navy. # 3.
Microsoft { a very wealthy company ?} is the # 4 contributer @ $12,863.00, please compare that amount to Goldman Sachs $900,553.00.

A Wild Guess!
Goldman Sachs is taking money from profits generated in the banking business, at a time when homeowners across America are suffering in foreclosure proceedings to "BANKERS", and contributing "In The Names Of Employees" to the top candidates in the Rep. or Dem. party.

.....And I Think These Top Teir Candidates Are Well Aware Of This Practice!!!!!

Sue Me If I'm Wrong!

Answer 5

Out of all the other candidates, he has stayed honest, and sincere. I don't trust the other candidates simply because they are all (the top 4 in the Republican and Democratic party) in the same plan. All but Ron Paul and one other are not part of the CFR. NWO is real, and is not a myth. They control the Media, and I am afraid if Ron Paul becomes a threat, they will assasinate him like the Kennedy's.

Answer 6

There is nothing radical about Ron Paul, unless you consider the constitution to be radical. I support him because I am 56 years old, and I have watched the erosion of my freedoms over the years in favor of the government deciding what they think is good for me. This country isn't about one size fits all.
If children are not behaved like automatons in school, the teachers want to drug them. If someone doesn't agree with you, it's OK to heap invective on them. If you have any original ideas at all you are mede to feel like an outcast.

We have managed to stiffel and ridicule the creativity that made this country great by regulating and taxing us into penury. You cannot build a porch or deck on your own house without a permit from the government, that costs money, people used to build their whole houses without permits, as little as 20 years ago where I live, And they are still standing, in fact, some houses that were built 100 years ago, by people who didn't have any education in building are still standing, and people are buying them, when the new ones don't sell. If you have tried since October 1 to get anything form the MVD you cannot get a permit to drive without a book of identification information, and if you object, you are treated with suspicion, by the people who are paid, by us, to provide this service. I believe that the government is micromanaging us to death. I believe that this is a problem, because I believe that I can manage my own life, better than they can.

I feel like my own government is violating all the rights that I was assured that I had by that same government. I send more than 1/2 of my income to the government in taxes, and they take 1/2 of the rest in hidden taxes, that we pay for in everything we buy.

I support Ron Paul because I support the constitution and I believe in the ideas on which it was based

Answer 7

I like Ron Paul he is a honest man and would make a good president.

P.S. Jimmy Carter was way behind in the polls, but he had the money and WON.

Answer 8

You will get the echo chamber response of the usual anti-ron suspects (who think he threatens their candidate), and then the symphony of new supporters, that are only now hearing about him, and often like him a lot. I've seen a lot of new supporters on YA recently, and enjoy the fact that they often have been members since early 2007, too early to be "paul bots" as people often suggest.

EDIT: Pusher, nice dig, I almost fell for it too, you mean Ru Paul. How immature.

Answer 9

in my opinion he is the right man for the times. there are pivotal points in history where the times make the man not the other way around, Ron Paul has been doing the same things, and saying the same things, and most importantly voting the same way since 1976.

the ground swell is happening because people are realizing that 2 main party's are failed party's, who are only concerned with helping them self's. we have over 20 years worth of lies and inaction from the Dem's and Reps to prove it.

Ron Paul is not a bandwagon we are getting on, but a force for change to bring our country back to were we are supposed to be, and to have the chances we are supposed to have. and that is

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

and neither of the 2 party's are defending that the way they should be .

Answer 10

I love him, he is one of the few presidential candidates providing any real clarity on our foreign policy and domestic issues.. Unlike other candidates whose stances seem to change from week to week, Paul's record is actually consistent. He is a strong advocate of a non-interventionist foreign policy where we trade and negotiate with countries,.. instead of fighting wars under false pretenses where we put our economy in financial risk and the lives of our troops in jeopardy.. To find out more about his positions on other issues, please see the list I posted below. In addition to Paul's strong anti-war/less government stance, he accepts no money from lobbyists, corporations and interest groups.. He is man of integrity.. which is rarity in Washington.. Paul offers real solutions, instead of just typical political rhetoric.. He truly has the best interest at heart for the average American, not just the elite..

A brief overview of his record:
He voted against the Iraq war.
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He is a strong advocate of free trade.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He opposes invading Iran.
He opposes amnesty for illegals.
He will drastically reduce the debt the United States is in, by reducing government spending.. taking the burden off taxpayers.
He voted NO to the amendment banning gay marriages.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
