RON PAUL IS THE TAXPAYER''S BEST FRIEND
If he is elected President, Ron Paul will work to abolish the Federal Reserve System as well as the IRS, returning our country to the Gold Standard. He believes, as I do, that our current Income Tax System is unconstitutional, because it is a direct tax that is not equally apportioned as The Constitution requires. Whenever taxes are raised by the federal government, it should be done as The Constitution does require--in an indirect way, which is equally apportioned. This system would benefit all of us, creating more individual wealth, and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives. As President, Ron Paul will also work to abolish the Federal Reserve, a group of private banks, run by unelected officials, which loans our government unbacked money which they are allowed to essentially print out of thin air, making each dollar in your pocket worth less all the time, and increasing our national debt to these banks. Worse still. Most of our debt is owned by China (25%) and Saudi Arabia who finance our runaway military spending overseas. This is a threat to our nation. We need to bring our troops home from overseas, and use the trillions we would save thereby to reduce our debt, and to re-invigorate our currency. We can use this money to ensure that Social Security and other essential programs will still be solvent in the future. Vote for Ron Paul. He''s published three books on the topic of sound economics. ronpaullibrary.org

RON PAUL TAKES ON FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke appeared before the Congressional Joint Economic Committee Member, Congressman Ron Paul on November 8th, and had to face some tough criticism concerning the fact that the Fed has been increasing the money supply while at the same time refusing to raise the Prime Interest Rate in order to curb inflation and devaluation of the Dollar. Paul accused the Federal Reserve of "robbery," telling Bernanke, "There''s a dollar crisis out there and people''s money is being stolen," Paul said. "People who have saved, they''re being robbed. I mean, if you have a devaluation of the dollar at 10 percent, people have been robbed of 10 percent." Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke attempted to dispel that notion by explaining, "If somebody has their wealth in dollars and they''re going to buy consumer goods in dollars, then the only effect it has on their buying power is that it makes imported goods more expensive." Paul disagreed, reminding Bernanke, "Yeah, but not if you''re elderly and you have your wealth in CDs. Their cost of living is going-up no matter what your CPI says," adding finally, "Their cost of living is going up, and they''re hurting. And that''s why the people of this country are very upset."

THEY DON''T CALL HIM "DOCTOR NO" FOR NO REASON
Congressman, Paul never votes for any Bill which he feels is not authorized by The Constitution, regardless of what it might be named. He feels most Laws should be made at the local or State level: the way our Founders intended. We are a Republic, and we have plenty of State lawmakers who are more than willing to make Laws which best serve their constituents. "Ron Paul is one of the easiest people in Congress to work with, because he bases his positions on the merits of issues," says Barney Frank, who has worked with Paul on efforts to ease the regulation of gambling and medical marijuana. "He is independent, but not ornery." Paul has made a habit of objecting to things that no one else objects to. In 2001, he was one of only three House Republicans to vote against the USA Patriot Act. He was the sole House member of either party to vote against the Financial Antiterrorism Act. In 1999, he was the only naysayer in a vote in favor of casting a medal to honor Rosa Parks. Nothing against Rosa Parks. Paul also voted against similar medals for Reagan and Pope John Paul II. He did, however, offer $100 of his own money to help pay for Reagan''s medal, and invited others in Congress to match his offer, but not one Member took him-up on it. Instead, Congress spent YOUR money. He not only routinely opposes resolutions that are unconstitutional, he votes against Bills which presume to advise foreign governments how to run their affairs.

WE ARE ALL SLAVES
I can''t help but laugh when I see some of these ridiculous posts by these racial provocateurs in here who try to point their dirty fingers at Ron Paul, when he doesn''t have a racist bone in his body. He''s not only a well-known Libertarian idealist who supports more civil rights and liberties for everyone, he''s also a devout Christian who reads his Bible everyday and believes, as I do, that all people on this Earth were created equal in the eyes of God. We all need to stand together, united as brothers and sisters in a common cause to achieve REAL FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE. Currently, we all live under a thumb of control which is pressed-down onto us by a tiny, elite group of oligarchs who really control the world in which we live. Whether you''re a black, white, brown and red, it makes no difference. We are all slaves to the elite. Also, I find it truly ironic how you brainwashed socialists could claim the nonsense you do about Ron Paul when your hero, Hillary Clinton, is the consummate elitist. She''s a Bilderberger, for Pete''s sake. The Bilderbergers are a tiny group of about 120 people (mostly royalty, heads of industry and major political figures) who meet in secret each year at different locations around the world in order to orchestrate public policy worldwide. Their agenda: continued economic and political domination; one world government; and a drastic reduction in the worldwide population of certain racial and genetic groups (eugenics). That''s irony!

WHO''S RON PAUL?
Ron Paul''s campaign has become a clearinghouse for voters like me who feel unrepresented by the Fascisct (globalist Republicans) and their Socialist comrades in crime (globalist Democrats). They''re actually one and the same. It''s all a phony, poorly staged left-right paradigm. Most people, though, are too distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information aimed at keeping their eyes closed to the realities of the world, that they fail to recognize this. Those currently in power, and those being groomed to take [major] political power, are preselected by a "global elite," and whomever is eventually elected, will ultimately, serve their agenda, and not ours. People on the right and those on the left have many differences. Maybe irreconcilable ones. But they have a lot of common beliefs too, and our numbers and anger are of a considerable magnitude. No matter what happens in 2008, I personally believe Ron Paul will influence the national conversation about how much power our government should have over our lives; how much liberty we should give up for security; and whether we should continue moving along our current path towards an all powerful one world government. These are issues that, frankly, no one else is talking about as seriously and sincerely as Ron Paul. What''s for sure is that his growing army of supporters like me will be a force to be reckoned with in 2008.

RON PAUL A WHITE SUPREMACIST?

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%u2019s 2008 Presidential campaign.

At the very least, will Paul personally state publicly, vigorously and unmistakably that he rejects the support of white supremacists, and that he will not knowingly tolerate their involvement with his campaign in any form or to any degree?

McCain should go to Bank of America or Citibank. Heck, they''re calling all the time trying to give away credit.

Speaking of credit, what will McCain promise as security on the loan?

That has to be one of the worst loans I''''ve ever heard of. Way worse than the sub-prime mortage loans.
Posted by fedupwithit1 at 05:48 PM : Nov 12, 2007

Oh, I doubt his campaign has any intention of repaying the loan. It''s just a loophole so that republicans can "legitimately" donate more money to his campaign.

Nice try! First of all I thank you for another opportunity to expose your Big Brother hype of standing behind the countries founding fathers. It''''''''s apparent you are a teacher/student of the antithetical principals of a civic textbook called "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution". . . . .blah, blah, blah, blah . . .

LOL! You didn''''t present a single argument, just totally unsubstantiated ad hominem attacks, which seems to be all you are capable of. I''''ve never heard of the "textbook" to which you refer. I don''''t have much use for dumb-downed versions of those texts, which you apparently rely upon. I bet you didn''''t know this, but their actual writings are still in print!! You can read the real McCoy! That''''s what I did in college. I totally ignored the BS propaganda that our right wing professor use so spew out during his lectures in an effort to convert us all into gun-nut naziis. Still got an A. It was amusing watching him bend, twist and stretch their words in an effort to get their texts to support his own personal political agenda, much the way you try to do on this website, except your arguments appear to be void of any of their original texts. Go Ron Paul, LOL, I will follow you into the bowels of hell, for you are my Lord and Saviour! LOL!
