Ron Paul Runs Competitively Against Obama - Rasmussen

[epicSocialism4tw]

Congressman Ron Paul may be a long shot to win the Republican presidential nomination, but he runs competitively with President Obama right now.

Paul would gain much more support if he changed his stance about terrorism and understood what is really going on there. His essential belief that we just move our troops out of the ME and it all goes away just doesn't mesh with reality. Though I do agree we should move our troops out, but that is more for our troop safety and a lack of mission that exists now.

The war on terror is not a war between nations. Ron Paul supports violent retribution against terrorists. He supports accurately analyzing and evaluating any clear and present danger and going after them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_marque

The issue of marque and reprisal was raised before Congress after the September 11 attacks[30] and again on July 21, 2007, by Congressman Ron Paul. The attacks were defined as acts of "air piracy" and the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001 was introduced, which would have granted the president the authority to use letters of marque and reprisal against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state. The terrorists were compared to pirates in that they are difficult to fight by traditional military means.[31] Congressman Paul also advocated the use of letters of marque to address the issue of Somali pirates operating in the Gulf of Aden on April 15, 2009. However, the bills Congressman Paul introduced were not enacted into law.

But he starts losing people's respect if he sells his beliefs out to gain votes. It happens in every election and people always talk about it. His intrigue is that he sticks to his beliefs and fundamentals. If he starts playing full blown politics, he'll just be another politician.

They don't want him to exist. He's dangerous to the establishment, and the media are establishment.

That is very true. Notice what happens to the typical outsider and how the vast media treats that person. Most in the media like the status quo and don't like people they don't know much about since then have to make up weaknesses, but many in this country too lazy to find out what is real, so just goes along with what the media says. That is how we stay in the economic mess we currently have going.

Well, when he starts drifting into Lyndon LaRouche territory, what can (and should) you expect? All credibility Paul has then goes straight out the window.

If that's the best you have, then you don't have much. It's the same sorry, tired excuse that was bandied around last election. 'He's too extreme! He's wacko!' Ya, whatever.

Ron Paul, whether or not you agree with him on every issue, is more spot on than the vast majority of candidates we've seen over the last two decades.

The establishment is afraid to debate him on any of the big issues because more often than not he pWns them.

This just in: Lyndon Larouche would run competitively against this guy right now.

[Arkie]

LaRouche couldn't be any more the polar opposite of Paul on economics.

LaRouche's economic policies, developed from originally Marxist beginnings, call for a program modeled on the economic-recovery program of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, including fixed exchange rates, capital controls, exchange controls, currency controls, and protectionist price and trade agreements among partner-nations.[7][8] LaRouche also calls for a reorganization of debt world-wide, and a global plan for large-scale, continental infrastructure projects.[8][9][10] He rejects free trade.

He probably didn't want to get baited into a fight in Panda Express and get arrested in front of his family. Sounds pretty wise to me.

Made up story that no one believes. The dead giveaway is this gal there that likes me.....that right there told me it was Spidey's Storytelling Time again. Punching throats and wooing the ladies, trucking across the country like BJ and the Bear. Breaking hearts, fingers, and punching throats!......then he wakes up with the same ole crack whore, at the same old truckstop.

It cannot be argued that he has ideas that are extremely out of the political mainstream with a fiercely loyal almost cult-like following (like LaRouche) and this just in...as long as he insists upon running as a Republican, he's going to continue to be a non factor. He'll never get the nomination of that party...NEVER, so , in effect, he's doing nothing more than wasting his time and the time of his supporters.

Personally, I resent him for not running on the Libertarian ticket last time. The guy could've done a lot for that party and maybe even establish it as a viable third party on a presidential level, but he refused and remained in the GOP trying to do the virtually impossible.....trying to influence the GOP platform. He failed and he will continue to fail as long as he aligns himself to the GOP.

He's wasting his time and yours and surely you must have better things to do with your time than back a guy with little influence and no viable chance at accomplishing....well, anything at all.
