Thread: Ron Paul on the Issues

He may not look or sound like a President most of us are used to in the American Idol era, but Ron Paul has the brass balls of a President we haven't had since Kennedy was in the White House.

Not only is Ron Paul electable, he's the only adult in the room in either party telling us the cold hard truths that we as a country need to hear.

Everyone else is talking about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Paul is the only one that is trying to convince us to listen to him about the iceberg fast approaching. And he's been doing this for 40+ years.

The good news is that the country is finally starting to listen to him, and the tipping point has arrived.

Can you imagine the debates between Paul and Obama? Obama would be obliterated into smithereens!

In your heart, and in your head, you know that Ron Paul is right.

And if you're willing to believe the falsehoods sold to you by the media in short and tidy soundbites, you deserve the country you're getting if anyone but Paul enters the White House.

Ron Paul Raised More Than $5 Million for the Quarter

Sep 30, 2011 4:45pm



Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign has raked in more than $5 million for the third fiscal quarter, which ends at midnight tonight.

That figure would be about what he took in last quarter and exactly what the Texas Republican finished with at the end of the third quarter when he ran four years ago.

“I quite frankly don’t pay a whole lot of attention to that ’cause I don’t think that’s the litmus test,” Paul told ABC News this morning.

” If it was a hundred thousand – you know – I would be very worried.”

During the past three months, Paul has launched several “moneybombs,” or one-day cash grabs.

The Sept. 17 Constitution Day “moneybomb” raked in more than a million dollars, according to the campaign’s website.

And a “moneybomb” to correspond with Ron Paul’s birthday brought in almost $2 million.

The $5 million is right in line with the $4.5 million the campaign brought in last quarter.

Of all the Republican candidates at the time, only Mitt Romney earned more.

And there are reports that Romney’s totals for this quarter could be twice that of Paul’s.

“We definitely need money, but don’t need a billion dollars,” said Paul.

But unlike Romney, Paul does not have “bundlers” or people assigned to raise large dollars for the campaign

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group dedicated to tracking money in U.S. politics, small-dollar donations made up about half of Paul’s total donations as of June 30

Why is Ron Paul So Popular?



Many continue to wonder why Ron Paul is so popular. The media wonders why his widespread support is so enduring. The political establishment wonders why the attraction to his message continues to grow. Here are some various poll results and headlines from roughly the last year.

President Obama is on the opposite side of every majority public opinion evidenced above. Most of the Republican presidential candidates are either on the opposite side of these popular opinions (the Fed, foreign policy, civil liberties), or are at best lackluster in their records where they claim to agree with the American majority (big government, spending, deficits, debt).

Only Ron Paul comprehensively represents the direction most Americans have been trending politically, and of course the Texas Congressman hasnt changed his message for his entire political career.

Paul hasnt moved toward the American majority; Americans en masse continue to move toward Paul.

Many continue to wonder why Ron Paul is so popular. They can stop wondering.

This Man "Does NOT LIE" If this man tells me Something "I BELIEVE HIM"

Immigration



A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

A nation without borders is no nation at all.

It just doesn’t make sense to fight terrorists abroad while leaving our front door unlocked.

Unfortunately, for far too long, neither major political party has had the courage to do what is necessary to tackle the problem.

Instead, we’re presented with so-called “solutions” that involve amnesty proposals or further restricting Americans’ civil liberties through programs like REAL ID.

Ron Paul opposes both of these schemes and believes they will only make illegal immigration and the problems associated with it worse. He has been proud to see states exercising their Tenth Amendment rights and protecting their citizens by refusing to comply with the unconstitutional REAL ID law.

While the federal government neglects its constitutional responsibility to protect our borders, it continues to push mandates on the states to provide free education and medical care to illegal immigrants at a time when the states are drowning in debt. This must not be tolerated any longer.

Like most Americans, Ron Paul also understands just how valuable legal immigration is to our country.

Immigrants who want to work hard, obey our laws, and live the American Dream have always been great assets.

COMMON SENSE REFORMS

If elected President, Ron Paul will work to implement the following common sense reforms:

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

* Protect Lawful Immigrants – As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.

As long as our borders remain wide open, the security and safety of the American people are at stake.

As President, Ron Paul will address immigration by fighting for effective solutions that protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and respect every American citizen’s civil liberties.
