Thread: Ron Paul on the Issues

Ron Paul a Solid Number Two in New Hampshire

Steady and growing support in the Granite State

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul is polling in second place in the key early voting state of New Hampshire, according to poll averages calculated by Real Clear Politics.

The poll averages reveal Paul has 20.8 percent support, nearly double the support of third-place rival Rick Santorum, whose poll average totals a mere 10.6 percent. Mitt Romney leads with 40.2 percent in these polls, which were taken from January 1^st to 7^th.

Jon Huntsman, who has prioritized a New Hampshire win, polls on average just 9.4 percent.

Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry have on average just 8.6 and 1 percent, respectively.

“Ron Paul is polling a solid second place in the ‘Live Free or Die’ state, where his message of personal and economic liberty resonates well. At media-staged debates where theater trumps discussion of today’s pressing issues, voters are encouraged to choose from establishment candidates, big government conservatives, and those unviable in New Hampshire and elsewhere,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

“New Hampshire voters know better and that is why Ron Paul’s voter outreach events, ads, and other message delivery efforts are yielding a respectable degree of growth. As in Iowa, we are hoping for a strong top-three finish and our top-class organization is well prepared for the final push,” added Mr. Benton.

Paul blasts Gingrich for skipping military

By Peter Schroeder - 01/07/12 09:36 PM ET

Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) jabbed at Newt Gingrich during Saturday night's Republican presidential debate for not serving in the military while advocating for foreign intervention as a candidate. Paul had previously called Gingrich a "chickenhawk" for avoiding military service in his younger years, and did not back off from that line of attack during an ABC News/Yahoo! debate in New Hampshire.

"I'm trying to stop these wars, but at least I went when called," he told Gingrich.

The former House Speaker fired back in a seething response, accusing Paul of having "a long history of saying things that are inaccurate and false...I personally resent the kind of comments and aspersions he typically makes."
He went on to say that his father was a long-time member of the military with multiple tours of duty, adding, "I have a pretty good idea of what it's like in a family to worry."

He maintained that he never asked for a deferment, but did not serve because he was married and had a child. Paul rebutted by saying he served in the military while married and with two children.

Paul's call for little to no foreign intervention by America's military separates him from most of the GOP field, but the man who served in the Air Force said candidates with no military experience have "no right to send our kids off to war."

"I have a pet peeve that annoys me to a great deal because when I see these young men coming back, my heart weeps for them," he said.

THE TRUTH ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE: The Media Mob Is Getting Totally Out Of Hand

The media circus covering the 2012 Republican race finally spun out of control today, when a mob of reporters literally chased Ron Paul and his wife out of a New Hampshire diner where Paul was making his first campaign stop.
Unfortunately, we weren't there to witness the incident, but apparently it was mayhem. When Paul arrived at Moe Joe's Family Restaurant, the tiny Manchester diner was already teeming with more than 120 reporters, who promptly swarmed Paul and his wife, Carol, before they had even gotten out of the parking lot. One reporter even shoved Carol and told her to "Get out of the way," according to campaign manager Jesse Benton. (Paul's wife rarely campaigns with her husband, so presumably the reporter didn't recognize her.)

After about 15 minutes, Paul gave up fighting the hordes and retreated back with his security detail.

In a statement this afternoon, Paul's campaign manager Jesse Benton apologized "to be respectful of both Dr. Paul and of New Hampshire voters, who are entitled to examine their candidates in a safe and responsible atmosphere.”

Interestingly, Benton writes that the mob was driven by an "influx of foreign journalists." We have no idea if this is true or not, but it would make sense, given that Paul has quite a few fans overseas.
In fairness to the media, the dustup wasn't entirely their fault. Reuters reports that the diner was already a madhouse before Paul arrived — in addition to the reporters, the place was packed with 100 Massachusetts high-school students, activists from Americans Elect, two people in pig costumes promoting www.taxmeat.com, and New Hampshire celebrity Vermin Supreme, a perennial presidential candidate who runs on a oral hygiene/zombie preparedness platform (seriously).

But given the astounding number of reporters covering the GOP presidential primaries, there was bound to be an incident. We would be surprised if the today's mishap was the last time the media gets in the way during this election cycle.
