What does Ron Paul voting against net neutrality mean to anyone?

He has never voted to raise congressional pay.

In other words only wealthy politicians or politicians accountable to the wealthy who fund and support them can afford to be a congressman.

If you really believe Ron Paul would advocate against the voice and participation of the people, you have not heard a word Dr. Paul has said. No one else on the campaign trail so strongly advocates for Americans to be able to fulfill the rights given to us in the Constitution and allow citizens to destroy the faux democracy that is currently in place.

Before making such glaringly false accusations, do your own homework on Dr. Paul. When you discover what he really stands for, you may just find yourself part of the revolution.

Deregulation through the lobbying of corporate libertarians has allowed multinational corporate wealth to move into unchartered waters like pirates, consolidating wealth and stepping on communities for the gain of a succinct minority of global elite corporate shareholders. Ron Paul calls this subtle takeover of communities and nations "free market". He and his right winger friends call the opposite "socialism".

The fact is there are rules and regulations currently present and right wingers maintain them but these regulations work to restrain common citizens while "freedoms" are granted corporations and those who are at the head of them though many of the CEOs of them too find themselves consumed by still another corporation in the form of a hostile takeover.

Eventually there will be one corporation and the shareholders will appoint the CEO the king directly accountable to the largest shareholder. For fundamentalist christians this is 666. Their preacher men have led many of them astray. Wolves dressed in 3 piece suits.

Congratulations to the Paul campaign. Or, to be more accurate, the over 100,000 donors who have contributed to his campaign this quarter. I''m sorry that l8c6 is so cynical about the prospects of a president who would actually preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution as per his oath of office. I think that hurling the spurious "corporate interests" accusation is a tactic that just about every politician does in a state of desperation, regardless of political party. Apparently the legitimacy of ron Paul''s governing philosophy is starting to resonate with the American public and is starting to make the celebrity candidates a bit nervous.

So these folks allude to the Boston tea party. British empire controlling the people of the new world as old world privatized wealth did to maintain it''s power through corporate charters, militia and economics.


Note, the colonists did not turn their lives over to private corporations. They instead established a government, a representative democracy.

For decades the right winger multinational private corporate libertarians have been attacking the representative government through a slick sleazy marketing scheme riddled with grand labels such as "free market" "freedom" "privatization".

The failure of people to see how the corporate charters are the actual threat to free society, not a government that effectively represents the people of the United States will bring not new world order, but old world order. Puffed up or emaciated right wingers has brought this country down. Putting another in officer will be the nail in the coffin.

I guess that federal reserve money that Ron Paul is critical of does work.

Money at the bottom line is God almighty.

Crazy country. We just go from bad to worse. This guy is a corporate libertarian. He will put global corporations ahead of the average U.S. citizen. In other words he supports privatized governments (corporations). He advocates for private global corporations to regulate the internet marketing this tyranny in the name of "free market" instead of allowing the voice and participation of the people who used to choose their leadership till the supreme court and global corporate lobbyists began choosing who and how the puppets run the faux democracy.
