Thread: Ron Paul on the Issues

How Ron Paul Will Make More Jobs



Government's responsibility is to create the environment to encourage prosperity.

Previous policies of stimulation by more spending and lowered interest rates are not sustainable.

People can eliminate personal debt through hard work and gain back personal prosperity.

Regulations have chased away businesses and capital along with them. Once we create an environment that makes it possible to run businesses then they will not be able to hire people fast enough to fill all the jobs.

Paul causes Mitt Romney supporters to crumple up Romney signs, say they will vote for Paul

Ron Paul 2012

I didn't know if anyone here had seen this article yet. I found it on Ron Pauls official facebook page. It is pretty amazing, everyone pass it around. This amazing in my opinion. This happened at Sparks Nevada recently, Paul made an appearance and addressed the crowd. Apparently he converted some Romney supporters. Looks like everyone wants on the freedom train now.

Taken from the article: "After Ron Paul spoke in Sparks, Nevada, earlier this month, observers took note of Mitt Romney supporters crumpling up their Romney signs and vowing to vote for Paul. It was the first time many Republican activists had ever heard Paul speak outside of the several minutes of sound bites allotted to him during televised debates."

Will Ron Paul Force Mitt Romney Into a Debate

Share on Facebook

After Ron Paul spoke in Sparks, Nevada, earlier this month, observers took note of Mitt Romney supporters crumpling up their Romney signs and vowing to vote for Paul. It was the first time many Republican activists had ever heard Paul speak outside of the several minutes of sound bites allotted to him during televised debates.

The Paul campaign's recent announcement that he has doubled down on its delegate strategy has made it increasingly likely that Ron Paul will appear at an increased number of state conventions this year. Republican state conventions, such as Minnesota's this past weekend, are increasingly making their way onto Paul's busy speaking schedule.

As an example, this weekend Paul spoke to an estimated 2,000 Republicans at the Minnesota Republican Convention in St. Cloud. Later in the convention, Republican National Committeeman Jeff Johnson spoke words of unity and praise, perhaps indicative of Paul's ability to win the hearts and minds of the Republican Party. Recent analysis has even shown that Paul has seen his base double.

In Sparks, Paul spoke opposite Josh Romney, the son of Mitt Romney. Many a political strategist will point out, however, that a surrogate is never as effective as having the candidate himself speak. By not attending state conventions, Romney cedes ground to Paul. He also saves face. It's unlikely that the moderate Romney will fare well at a convention next to the conservative Paul. Last week in Arizona, reports indicated that Republican activists went so far as to refer to Romney as "Obama-lite."

With growing discontent for the moderate Romney in the Republican Party and Ron Paul surging, how much terrain can Romney risk losing to Paul? How long will it be before Romney joins Paul at state conventions, prompting impromptu debates?

Perhaps Paul's "It's the Delegates, Dummy" strategy of focusing on delegates and speaking at state conventions is deserving of more praise than most pundits realized. Paul may succeed at convincing Republican voters to force a head-to-head comparison alongside Mitt Romney.

AP: Replacing a legend: Candidate for Ron Paul’s seat says ‘it’s sort of like being the coach after Bear Bryant’

When Republican congressional hopeful Randy Weber knocks on doors in Ron Paul‘s hometown and says he’d like to take “Dr. No’s” place in Washington, he offers a caveat.
“I hasten to add that Ron Paul’s not running again,” said Weber, a two-term Texas state representative. “It’s happening less now, but a lot of people look at you like, ‘why would you want to run against him? How dare you?’ ”

Internet Vs. The Machine: Ron Paul's Social Media Revolution Still Can't Topple The Status Quo

Ron Paul's social media revolution couldn't disrupt the two party status quo.
Erik Kain, Forbes Contributor | 5/15/2012 @ 11:29AM

Ron Paul has effectively suspended his presidential campaign due to a lack of funds. The Texas Republican will still hold campaign events but won’t compete in primaries going forward. Spreading his small government message was always Paul’s first priority, even if he had to run for president in order to spread that message.
Paul’s campaigns in 2007/2008 and 2011/2012 should be viewed as the first real internet-based presidential campaigns – the first time a campaign truly made use of, and relied upon, grassroots internet activism and social media to take root and flourish. Nobody has been as successful at this as Ron Paul, though certainly the Obama campaign has also made social media and online activism central to its efforts.
It’s odd, in one sense, that someone whose message cleaves so ferociously to the past should make such good use of modern technology, but that’s exactly what Paul’s campaign has done, spreading a gospel of small government and liberty through social media.

How the Ron Paul takeover could help the state GOP

Ron Paul supporters hold rigid positions on government spending, national debt and defense, but they have flexibility on issues that have led to deeper divides: gay marriage and abortion.

By Cyndy Brucato | May 22, 2012, 09:25 am

For all the sturm und drang over what’s going to happen to the state Republican Party with the takeover by Ron Paul supporters, there are bright spots -- depending on what kind of Republican you are.

Republicans who are worried about the party’s precarious financial position can take hope in a modicum of fundraising resurgence. A Saturday event with Paul and newly endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills netted the party at least $12,000.

Republicans who want Bills to deliver more than just pluck in his contest with Sen. Amy Klobuchar are being reassured that the new blood is paying off by way of checks. Hours after his endorsement at the state GOP convention last weekend in St. Cloud, Bills held an event with Paul that raised about $20,000 for his Senate campaign.

Five things Ron Paul wants from the Republican National Convention

Peter Grier, Staff writer | May 22, 2012

It looks as if Ron Paul is going to be an active participant in the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August. That will mark a big change from 2008, when Congressman Paul held a rival convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul while the GOP nominated John McCain nearby.

Here’s our take on the five things Paul hopes to gain from staying within his party’s tent in 2012.

************************************************** **************

OMG! OMG! Adhering to the Constitution is like OMG, like SO "extreme!"

Of course the hilariously pliant sheeple, who delude that they're actually 'liberals' working at a 'progressive' NGO, when in reality, it's nothing more than a neoCon outfit founded by Clinton's former Chief of Staff John 'I wanted to decapitate Saddam Hussein in 1998' Podesta-owned Center for [Un]American Progress' online arm, "ThinkProgress," is gonna wax apoplectic about a concept that they've never ever been introduced to, in their entire lives: uphold ALL parts of the Constitutions and the Bill of Rights.

Here's the new R3VOL influenced, new Iowa GOP platform that the liberal fascists at Think Progress are going Ape-Scheisse over:

We insist that a candidate prove that he or she meets all requirements for that office prior to being placed in nomination, including proof of United States citizenship.

We support the elimination of the departments of Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Energy, Interior, Labor, and Commerce as well as TSA, FDA, ATF, EPA, National Endowment for the Arts, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.

We call for a full investigation of the organization formerly known as ACORN and its allied organizations, call for full prosecution of those involved in any illegalities discovered, and call for elimination of government funding of such organizations.

We demand that the term “sustainable development” be defined, vetted, and controlled by county and state agricultural agencies whose private property it impacts rather than the UN, other international or Agenda 21 agencies, or any federal organization.

We support constitutional state sovereignty including nullification of federal oversteps.

We disagree with Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton as “settled law.” Under the Tenth amendment, these Supreme Court decisions have no authority over the states.

Paul rallies his troops to fight the GOP Establishment and media

Kevin Kervick
Manchester Independent Examiner

Presidential candidate Ron Paul addressed his loyal army via this YouTube statement that was released earlier today. The message to his supporters was that the campaign is still fighting hard and it is time to redouble efforts.

If anyone in the big media or the Establishment GOP had any question about Dr. Paul's intentions, this statement put those doubts to rest. Dr. Paul is in this campaign fight to win. His campaign has an aggressive strategy to combat what he believes are abusive practices by his opponent's campaign and Governor Romney's new partners on the GOP national committee. Dr. Paul will be fighting very hard to win delegates in the next series of states' conventions, despite the tactics that are being used against him by an establishment and a media that are not supposed to be taking sides.

This is welcome news to Paulistas from all over the country who still believe Congressman Paul can be President of the United States, despite what they are hearing from the big media. Paul's supporters want to fight.

This message from Dr. Paul today provided the rationale for doing so, and it reassured the Paul nation that the Congressman and his staff will fight just as hard as they will. This was music to their ears.

The key aspects of Dr. Paul's statement are listed below:

• The campaign is having great success gaining delegates at state conventions and taking over local parties, but the media is not reporting the news.
• Dr. Paul will continue to fight as long as his supporters are behind him.
• The campaign has been very honest about its delegate strategy from the beginning.
• The Republican Establishment is scared of Dr. Paul's strength and success in electing national delegates.
• Other campaigns are using desperate attempts to downplay the success and they are using outrageous abuses of procedure to try to keep Dr. Paul from getting delegates.
• The campaign is quite capable of fighting back aggressively and protecting liberty.
• Dr. Paul is in this to win the battle.
• The campaign has put forward a professional, positive, aggressive message from day one.
• The liberty movement is winning the message war and people are waking up.
• The special interests are 'coming for us and have already written our obituary'.
• Unlike other campaigns, Dr. Paul cannot go to Wall Street or Bankster fat cats for financial help. Therefore, the campaign can only prosper if concerned patriots contribute.
• Dr. Paul intends the campaign to work hard in the upcoming eight state conventions. Funds generated now will be allocated toward that fight.
• Dr. Paul appreciates his supporters who have stood by his side.
• Now is the time to redouble efforts to spread the message of liberty in order to defeat the status quo.

There can be no question that Dr. Paul is serious and he wants his troops to stay with him to the end. This campaign is just getting started.

"When God sends a Ron Paul, I cannot vote for a Mitt Romney." ... a Mormon writes on TheReaganWing.com

On May 22, 2012 at 8:01 pm | in Reply to: The 2012 GOP Credentials Committee: Traitors, Cheaters, Predators, Clowns « www.TheReaganWing.com

I read today:

"It amazes me how many profess faith in God,

but can’t accept that God will assist us if we only make the choice to act to restore godly principles to this nation.

When I stand before my maker, I believe I will be held to a standard something like this, “If every person (action) as you (or to the same degree as you), would the world have been a better (more godly) or a worse (more evil) place. Among the missing (action) words or phrases may be: “treated others,” “voted ,” “sought truth,” “fudged on principle,” “compromised good for evil,” etc.

When God sends a Ron Paul, I cannot vote for a Mitt Romney. I am a Mormon, and it does not bother me that Mitt Romney has the ear of some persons in the (former) Freeman Institute, or in any other group. Ron Paul has proved that he does not compromise on Principle, and Mitt Romney has proved over and over that he does. My vote for Romney would violate my integrity. It would prove to others around me that I have no faith.

Our Founders recognized the hand of God in nearly every occurrence along the path toward freedom. If we are truly paying attention to the Ron Paul/Freedom movement, and not just paying lip service, how can we not recognize the hand of God in this fight. That does not mean that Ron Paul will be president, maybe he will, maybe he wont, but we have come a very long way in very little time. We will continue to progress if we keep working. The fight for freedom must become a lifetime passion. Even recovered freedoms will quickly slip away if we become comfortable.

That said, can anyone tell me why a Ron Paul slate for the WA State Convention should not include a choice for Permanent Chairperson? When I brought up the question at the 6th Dist Ron Paul meeting, I was told that Kirby Wilber would probably start as the Temporary Chair and that Wilbur “has never done anything egregious enough” for us to want to replace him. Personally, I believe this is a good start of a recipe for failure. I am going to be very disappointed if the Paul Campaign does not have someone to nominate for Chairperson for this convention. I want the opportunity to vote for a better man than Kirby Wilbur, and I think we would have a chance, if we could go into the Convention knowing who to nominate/vote for that position.

Chuck Fuchser"

Well stated Chuck!
