If you are a real conservative, why would you not support Ron Paul?

Question

I have heard people say that Ron Paul does not stand a chance so they will not vote for him. That sounds so defeatist. You only want to vote for winners? Is that what makes you feel like a winner?

Ron Paul is the strongest conservative running and has the least amount of shameful experiences in his past. So, why would you support a New York liberal like Rudy over a much more intelligent and decent man like Mr. Paul?

El Mero Chingon:

I am a citizen who has wondered for years why we allow so much government waste and yet allow the government to tax us. We work a large amount of our time as slaves for the government, and yet our leaders are selling us out at every turn. They took us off the gold standard so that our money would become valueless; they allowed corporations to move virtually all factory operations oversees; they are allowing droves of undocumented and undereducated folks into our country along the southern border; they are spending, literally, tons of money in other countries but have not spent nearly enough on education in this country or technologies to get water in places like the South and Southwester US; in the last 6 years, our national debt has tripled (and we are talking trillions of dollars); and the list goes on and on.

Dr. Paul delivered thousands of babies and seems to be the only one who cares to preserve a good future for the younger generations.

Answer 1

Why not, indeed.

But then again, how in the world did 'Junior' get a second term? If people are willing to vote for 'Junior' for a second term, these people will vote for Rudy G. too.

Thank goodness there are people sane enough to vote for Ron Paul. America still has a hope left, and it's not just Ron Paul, but the people who support him. I have hope for America because of people like YOU and all the Ron Paul supporters who vote for him for all the right reasons.

Answer 2

I already support Ron Paul..

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

sheebe: His record is more CONSITENT then any other candidate running

SFC_Olli: Iraq is ALREADY in the middle of a religious civil war, one that cannot be resolved by the United States, Paul has a proper exit strategy for Iraq, one that will STABLIZE the country and have troops home within a 3-6 month period, it’s not a “cut and run” approach

Eyesofru: It’s funny you mention Huckabee, considering he would also like to phase out the IRS, and set up a tax system that RAISES taxes for everyone

CIA/FBI: There are over 100 different intelligence gathering agencies. He wants to end the bureaucracy and consolidate.. NOT ABOLISH THEM.. this actually strengthens our central intelligence by gathering intelligence and making it more effective

IRS: This explains it better then I can:

“1) The destruction of the IRS would include a free market solution of competing currencies.
2) Competing currencies (read: gold and silver used as money without government intervention) would lead to the destruction of the Federal Reserve.
3) The destruction of the Federal Reserve would lead to a halt on the interest we pay to them for the pleasure of using their valueless paper.
4) The income tax, which is solely used to pay back said interest, would no longer have a purpose.
5) Tariffs were collected at point of entry (read: ports and airports), just as sales tax is collected at point of sale today.
6) Excise taxes are collected at point of sale.
7) The abolishment of the IRS would not limit the collection of said taxes, just the unnecessary and unpopular Income Tax.”

***Only the income tax would be eliminated

sparhawk7322: Isolationism? Paul is a non-interventionist.. He is a strong advocate of diplomacy and trade, not secluding ourselves from the world. In fact, after 9/11 Paul voted in favor of invading Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden.. He also supports the Letter's of Marquee and Reprisal to counter terrorism.. “The issue of Marquee and Reprisal was raised before Congress by Rep. Ron Paul of Texas after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and again on July 21, 2007. Paul, defining the attacks as an act of "air piracy," introduced the Marquee and Reprisal Act of 2001, which would have granted the president the authority to use Letters of Marquee and Reprisal against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state."

""Once letters of marquee and reprisal are issued, every terrorist is essentially a marked man..." (Wikipedia)

Answer 3

Ron Paul creeps me out. Why is he this kind of fulfillment on the internet? Why are each of the twenty first century kiddies in love in an anachronistic Constitutionalist? isn't anybody else worried about this? it type of feels backwards to me that the kiddies, who oftentimes love the liberals and the "ahead questioning" they champion, are falling over themselves about this guy Paul, who's this kind of throwback in each way. for my section, i'm confident each individual on the internet who says they prefer Ron Paul is only a worker for his marketing campaign and is being paid to create avatars and say Ron Paul is the finest suitable. This sounds like the most smart rationalization for his being the biggest internet sensation on condition that that gay guy who wanted us to go away Britney on my own.

Answer 4

Objective reporting hardly exist in this country therefore it will be a very difficult task to get Ron Paul elected. He truly is the only conservative hands down. If you want an empire and bases in every country and a negative image of the worlds police man vote for someone other than Paul if you want someone for the people vote for Ron.

Answer 5

because the man is a libertarian and NOT a real conservative.

Oh, and the claims the media is black balling Ron Paul is an absolute myth. The fact of the matter is Ron Paul is refusing to make media appearances. I know for a fact that Glenn Beck has tried to get Ron Paul on his show numerous times. It wasnt until being rudely blown off several times that Glenn stopped trying.

But then, if Ron Paul actually went out into the media when he was invited, he couldnt make the claim that there was some conspiracy trying to keep him down. Nevermind the fact that he has been invited to almost every single solitary debate, been on the news and completely blown off other chances to be on the air.

Answer 6

The major managed news media black out on representative Ron Paul & the GOP isolation of Doctor Paul should answer your question. The only reason people/organizations attempt to black ball/silence an individual is because that particular individual in question is DEEMED A THREAT to them & or their GOALS!!! This "dirty tactics" scheme is nothing more than an attempt to retain or gain power/control. This has happened through out all of recorded history...Nazi's, Roman Empire, cults, Castro, Chavez, Power hungry pastors(PHP's) Communal(communist) governments & the list goes on & on. Most of the time the intentions are just plain evil & the results are a holocaust. If Americans lose representative Ron Paul & his 100% constitutionally based voting record they have NO one else to blame for their increasing woes but THEMSELVES!!!

Answer 7

I will be voting for Paul.

EDIT: El Mero Chingon
"Is this question a paid political ad for Ron Paul? Sure sounds like it." - Are you a disgruntled Huckabee supporter? thought so. If you think Huckabee has a chance against anyone, you are mistaken. Plus, no one wants a theocracy in America. I bet you loved Fred 3 months ago until you realized he's a Fred Flop. Don't worry, you will soon feel that way again.

Answer 8

Read. Ron Paul is actually a Libertarian running on a Republican ticket. You might consider studying the Libertarian movement before you rush headlong into a vote on the things he says in public. I can't ask you not to vote for Ron Paul, but please, be certain that the Libertarian ideals are what you support.

Answer 9

People are automatically programmed to give that answer because the media wants people to believe that he doesn't have a chance even if they agree with what he says. The answer to that is that if everybody who said that voted for him he would win easily.

Answer 10

I don't even know who I'm voting for yet. But, I find it funny that you will only vote conservative just so a democrat won't get in there. Bush wasn't enough for ya? I'm Independant, so I'm going to be hard pressed to find someone I agree with.
