Thread: Who was supporting Tancredo and now will switch to Hunter?

SOSADFORUS: I would agree on the CFR part, but Paul is way softer on illegal immigration and when it comes to foreign policy, Paul has some just plain nutty ideas. I can guarantee that Paul doesn't have a clue about what the Islamic doctrine of abrogation is which leads Paul to believe that if we could gather around the camp fire and sing Kumbaya with the Religion of Peace terrorists they would simply leave us alone.

Tancredo understood the problem. I don't know if any of the others do. Couple that ignorance with open borders and the country is in real trouble.

What I think is Ron Paul will listen to the Ameican people, he is the only one who realizes "We the People " are America...He has said things and as he said this morning on Meet the Press , circumstances change and your views have to change with them... This country is in alot of trouble and if the North American Union get done all the rest is not going to matter as we are not going to be any better off than any other 3rd world country.

Paul is not advocating not closeing the border he is againt the military on the the border, he is for more border patrol and is stumped by Bush taking the National Guard ( to guard our nation) off of the border to go and protect another country. he is also trying to stop birthright citizenship, and wants more interior enforcement( cut off the incentives that attract people to enter illegaly) protect the border from drug cartel.

As far as him being soft, he was in the military . I think it is time to try to talk to people and stop carrying the bully pulpit, if that doesn't work then kick their ass, I don't think he is a coward, I just think what we have been doing is not working and it is time to try something different before we lose this country, but most of all i think he will listen to the majority in this country which I can not say for the rest of them.
How many of them running has this kind of convictions and sticks to their principles and our constitution which is what made out country as great as it is. (below) some would like to burn it!

GENERAL INFORMATION - Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies! He and Carol, who reside in Surfside Beach, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have seventeen grandchildren.

While serving in Congress during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dr. Paul's limited-government ideals were not popular in Washington. He served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve's inflationary measures. He also was a key member of the Gold Commission, advocating a return to a gold standard for our currency. He was an unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family values. Dr. Paul consistently voted to lower or abolish federal taxes, spending, and regulation, and used his House seat to actively promote the return of government to its proper constitutional levels. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his House seat and returned to his medical practice.

Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997 to represent the 14th Congressional district of Texas. He serves on the House Financial Services Committee, the International Relations committee, and the Joint Economic Committee. On the Financial Services Committee, Rep. Paul serves as the vice-chairman of the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee. He continues to advocate a dramatic reduction in the size of the federal government and a return to constitutional principles.

Dr. Paul's consistent voting record prompted one Congressman to comment that "Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are." Another Congresswoman added that "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few.
