Thread: Speaking of Dr Paul...

Check out this video. Its like a timewarp. Ron Paul was saying the same things 27 years ago. I wonder what Romney, Giuliani, and Huckabee were saying back then?? Hell, I wonder what they will be saying next week!!!

That was a good one.

He is rock solid on the issues. He has a way of dealing with them through good honest basic fundamentals.

I read his book. It was many of his speeches over the years condensed into book form.

Great but sort of tedious as he lectures Congress over and over like a parent might need to do.


This is a good Ron Paul video. Touches on immigration.

Joe on Morning Joe MSNBC the other morning said Paul is one of those that no one will sit with at lunch. Joe said it was the same way with him. If the other Congressmen don't like your honesty, they will isolate you from the rest.

Joe also said at the same time he knows someone that is another first time voter that will be voting for Ron Paul, and that is his son, Joey Scarborough.

Last night Tancredo said you can never question Paul's honesty.

Paul FTW, please don't give us another Council of Foreign Relations dictator.

We have one more chance to save this nation (maybe, I'm not sure if we have that !!)

The first thing Paul said he would do is cut off all incentives for illegals to come here or stay here....

He will immediately take away free medical care, food stamps, free college tuition, welfare, social security. That he says will induce them to return to their country of origin. And Paul being such a fiscal conservative, much like Reagan, I have no doubt he will accomplish this within the first 60 days of his administration.

This is not as easy as it sounds. Even the President doesn't have the power to do all those things on his/her own. He/she needs congress' and the supreme court's support.

Look how Bush failed at granting amnesty. Even the most ardent anti-illegal immigration President is going to have an uphill battle fighting illegal immigration.

Actually, I don't think a President would have that hard a time at all.

This is from a site about food stamps - this sounds like illegals are not eligible for food stamps. I haven't looked up any other, but it is possible they are not eligible for most of the other.

If that's true, then simply tell them to enforce the laws already on the books.

{{{Anyone can apply for food stamps. To get food stamps, you and the other people in your household must meet certain conditions. Everyone who is applying in your household must have or apply for a Social Security number and be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or have status as a qualified alien.
