A Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Experiment
May 25, 2007 at 12:12 pm
The good, wise folks at Blog P.I. tell me that if I write a nasty blog post about Ron Paul, I might get lots of comments. So let’s take that theory out for a test drive.
First, let’s get their attention: Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul. And, for good measure, Ron Pall.
Second, let’s say this: Ron Paul is not a real Republican.
Third, let’s wonder this: Is Ron Paul crazy?
Fourth, let’s make fun of the gold standard: Oh wait, I can’t do that. I used to work for Jack Kemp.

You perhaps should have looked up ‘pall’ before you used it to try to make fun of him. It’s exactly what is happening to the neocon base in large part due to his increasing exposure and support.
pall - verb
1 : to lose strength or effectiveness
2 : to lose in interest or attraction
3 : DWINDLE
pall - transitive verb
1. to cause to become insipid

Ron Paul, who was born with a duck, raised taxes while invading Grenada. Ron Paul does not know what habeus corpus abuse is, but is pretty sure it is not one of Baskin Robbins 31 flavors and is therefore against it. Ron Paul has never actually been wrong, except for one time when he thought he was, but he really wasn’t. Ron Paul also likes Hot Pockets.

Besides, isn’t Rep. Paul the one who raised the idea on the floor of the House of issuing Letters of Marque against Al Quada & the Taliban back in ‘01? Anyone would desrve a LOT of credit for THAT!

I really know almost nothing about Ron Paul. Is he related to Adrian Paul of the TV Highlander series fame? I might vote for him if he could bring that show back.

Who is Ron Paul? Why does he have a first name for a last name? I bet in grade school he got called Paul Ron sometimes. Sometimes by mistake, and sometimes with cruel intent. You know how kids are. I bet he tired of it quickly. Perhaps it remains a sore spot with hm to this day.
I could never vote for someone that has a first name for a last name. One of the many things I look at, when looking over candidates, is the supporters. If there are a lot of moonbats, then - Nope - they are off the list.
I think I hear flapping now.

I look forward to a Paul/Kucinich unity ticket in the general election that would result in a grand tinfoil-hat-wearing barking moonbat convergence.
All they would succeed in doing is drawing the America-hating leftist and isolationist rightist fringes away from the likely dem ticket of Clinton/Obama.
I’d love to see them compete against my dream unity ticket: Giuliani/Lieberman.

Hey, M. Simon, no fair — I already voted for Ron Paul for Presiden in 88! (after voting against him, for Russel Means, at the Libertarian Convention).
How does it go:
Nobody is telling the truth.
Nobody is going to lower your taxes.
Nobody is going to work for you if elected.
Nobody is worth voting for ..
Vote for Nobody!
Now, just add to Nobody, Nobody except Ron Paul.
But this Libertarian Paternalist is a hawk on Iraq, and give Bush a “B” so far (he had to lose less than 2500 Americans to get an “A”). Notice how virtually none who critize Bush’s competence have any measures of competence. Not even Ron Paul.
At least voting for Ron Paul is not a waste, like those who didn’t like Kerry but tried to vote “against Bush”.
And another hack writes on the bus…

Key California Republican Group
Endorses Ron Paul
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jesse Benton
May 22, 2007 202-246-6363
ARLINGTON, VA – The United Republicans of California (UROC) have unanimously endorsed Congressman Ron Paul for president of the United States. UROC, formed in 1963 to support Barry Goldwater, represents the traditional conservative wing of the California Republican Party.
“The unanimous endorsement from the United Republicans of California proves what the campaign has been saying all along,” said campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Ron Paul is the only true conservative and real Republican in the race.”
In their official statement endorsing Dr. Paul, UROC called him “the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital” and recognized that:
Ron Paul’s voting record demonstrates that he has voted against:
· raising taxes;
· unbalanced budgets;
· a federal restriction on gun ownership;
· raising congressional pay; or
· increasing the power of the executive branch.
His voting record demonstrates further that he voted against:
· the USA Patriot Act;
· regulating the Internet; and the war in Iraq.
Dr. Paul is the only candidate with a record that matches the UROC’s conservative platform.
“Whether the issue is life, the Second Amendment, foreign policy, spending or taxes, Ron Paul is the only traditional conservative candidate,” continued Snyder. “Traditional conservatives across the country should support Ron Paul for president.”

May 24th, 2007 at 9:25 am
I would suggest that if one wanted to get a good fix on where Rep. Ron Paul stands on the issues, simply take a look at the principles on which the Libertarian Party is based. Read the Constitution of the United States. Read the Bill of Rights. Those conceptual thinkers who can look at the principles put forth can derive a likely outcome of Dr. Paul’s actions. This is why I like Ron Paul and this particular philosphy of politics/government - it takes all the guesswork out of it. Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you want government agencies to handle all of your problems, if you want never-ending new laws to quell your fears, if you want the government to continue (de)educating your children. Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you are not willing and ready to put some time in getting educated about and active in government at the local, state and federal levels (there is a lot to be undone). Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you don’t want to have to take on any work and responsibility for your liberties after walking away from the voting booth… If you want the status quo, vote for ANY other candidate, as it makes absolutely no difference in that case. This ‘freedom’ thing can be a very bitter pill to swallow to the majority of Americans, I believe.
jerry t. searcy said,
May 26, 2007 @ 5:20 pm
In my opinion Ron Paul won the debate by being honest (as opposed to the other nine shades of collectivist grey). If he had his way the federal government would be MUCH, MUCH smaller, less intrusive and a whole lot cheaper. There would be NO income tax, capital gains tax, corporate tax, social security tax, any other tax I can thing of except perhaps a small national sales tax.
Nah…we like the government the way it is, don’t we? Lets elect one of the other quasi Marxist!

How about Giuliani-Bolton?
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/contentions/
Bring on Bolton
Daniel Johnson - 5.17.2007 - 5:06PM
Why isn’t John Bolton running for President? In contrast to a line-up of Republican candidates that seems, at least from a transatlantic perspective, somewhat lackluster, the former ambassador to the U.N. looks and sounds like a real leader. As he is not yet running for office, why doesn’t one of the candidates—Rudy Giuliani, for instance—consider him seriously as a running mate? Bolton looks like Teddy Roosevelt and talks like Ronald Reagan. What more do you want?
On Wednesday, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Bolton gave us a series of robust reminders of why his tenure at the U.N. was so controversial. He has no difficulty comparing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Hitler in public, as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney reportedly do in private, and he thinks the present situation with Iran is analogous to that of 1936, when the appeasers in Europe and isolationists in America carried the day: “I think you’re at a Hitler marching into the Rhineland point. If you don’t stop it then, the future is in his hands, not in your hands, just as the future decisions on their nuclear program would be in Iran’s hands, not ours.”
Bolton warns that Iran “is not going to be talked out of its nuclear program. So to stop them from doing it, we have to massively increase the pressure.” It is too late to halt the uranium enrichment program, so the priority now is to prevent industrial-scale production. He favors economic sanctions “with pain” as the next step, followed by a serious attempt to bring about regime change from within. “And if all else fails, if the choice is between a nuclear-capable Iran and the use of force, then I think we need to look at the use of force.”
He is not insouciant about the risks of air-strikes: “It’s very risky for the price of oil, risky because you could, let’s say, take out their enrichment capabilities at Natanz, and they may have enrichment capabilities elsewhere you don’t know about.” But he is clear-sighted about the much greater risk of doing nothing: “Imagine what it would be like with a nuclear Iran. Imagine the influence Iran could have over the entire region.”
He is scathing about the “doomed” European attempt to negotiate with Tehran, which Tony Blair reluctantly went along with: “Blair just didn’t focus on it as much as [former Foreign Secretary] Jack Straw did, and it was very much a Foreign Office thing because they wanted to show their European credentials, wanted to work with the Germans and the French to show ‘we’ll solve Iran in a way differently than those cowboy Americans solved Iraq.’” He accuses Sir Jeremy Greenstock, the former British ambassador in Iraq, and other Foreign Office officials of deliberately undermining Mr. Blair’s pro-American policy on a wide range of issues. But he rebuts the claim that Mr. Blair was a “poodle” of Mr. Bush: “Nobody in this administration has thought that. Nobody.”
War leaders are as rare today as they have ever been, and just as precious. I published an essay on the Iranian problem in the current issue of the New Criterion. My conclusion is as follows:
The Iranian regime has been at war with us from the moment it seized power 28 years ago. Ahmadinejad’s Iran represents a lethal combination of nuclear technology and Islamist eschatology. Détente is not an option. Ahmadinejad is not interested in peace; he longs for paradise. The duty of saving the world from the Persian peril falls to us. Leonidas, “the bravest of men,” was said to be descended from Heracles himself. Let us hope and pray that our leaders are made of the same stuff.

When a new president is sworn into office, they promise to uphold and protect The Constitution.
While most Republican and Democrats have worked to destroy it, Ron Paul’s votes and congressional record show he does everything he can to uphold and protect it
The man practices what he preaches and that is why the people have taken the initiative to save their country and reclaim The Constitution by supporting a candidate who is worthy of restoring and protecting it and that explains the Ron Paul Revolution.
Then, you must take a look at Hillary who not only served on the board of directors of Wal-Mart (cheap slave goods from China–destroying Middle class America), but she is bought and paid for by large corporations and banks. Whose best interest will she serve? I promise you it won’t be yours.

I am cross posting this important Public Service Announcement:
Last I heard the Internet had these things called search engines and hyper links, it’s all rather complicated, all that insidious cross linking, careless comparisons and double-checking.
Paul’s Presidential Campaign is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the effort to flood the internet with the “spam” of paid supporters. Honest Candidates like Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney don’t get a fair shake because of the unfair road blocks set before them on the Internet Super Highway. We need to take back our government and support the People’s Candidates. Because McCain, Guiliani, Clinton, Romney and the others all get short shrifted by the Internet Elitists that are controlling our country.
If only the Internet were filled with savvy individualists and free thinkers instead of the monolithic stagnated power block we currently face. If we can break that barrier we can thwart Ron Paul’s pro-establishment and bellicose message.

In my voting history, I’ve wasted my vote on candidates like Jimmy Carter in 1976, G.H. Bush in 1988, Bill Clinton in 1992 and G.W. Bush in 2004.

In all seriousness, though, I do admire the way that people in the Houston area keep sending him back to Congress even though they know that he’s not a political pig that’s going to bring home slabs of bacon and pork for his constituents, but rather because they know he’s going to fight hard for their values of small government, responsibility in the community, freedom through commerce and goodwill rather than the application of violence, and setting a good example on the world stage. If he does somehow make it onto the ballot I will vote for him, as I did in my very first Presidential vote back in 1988. What would be interesting would be if several different parties all put him on the ballot as their candidate. That would truly be a new wrinkle in politics.

Ron Paul is a danger radical and a subversive. Just look at some of the positions he takes.
He believes that
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
How will we fight the terrorist????????????
Ron Paul also said (about iraq ) ” we have been bombing them for ten years….. ”
But george Bush said “They viciously attacked us before we were in Iraq, and they’ve been attacking ever since. They are a threat to your children, David”
obviously the president wouldnt lie so therefore ron paul lied. Ron paul is a dangerous radical and a proven liar. Who would vote for him??????

I’ve enjoyed all the humor in the comments greatly. It is true that this Internet phenomenon is not like anything seen before. Things move quickly here, give it time to spread around by word of mouth in the “material” world. Electing Dr. Paul would bring about changes to our system which are radical but needed. We should embrace hope and use our imaginations constructively to paint a new vision of the world and the type of empowering institutions we can build to replace the ailing ones.
Looking at this election in terms of history reveals a paradigm shift underway feuled by the Internet. Just like the incalculable pampheteering and small newspaper operations that existed in the late 18th century, the Internet is again shifting the information paradigm to bottom-up rather than top-down. Ron Paul is an honest broker with a message whose time has come. The mercantalist systems that manage world banking and trade benefit only a small number of crony-capitalists who use market intervention through government to perpetrate fraud against all of us and steal our wealth. With truly free markets and individual liberty, America will return to the prosperous example of freedom for which it has always stood. The Cold War ended and the military industrial complex and CIA didn’t want to go away. Its time to de-militarize and come home and stop picking fights with every two-bit goat herder in the world just to sustain the record profits of energy and defense companies. Soldiers do not benefit from this.

Ok so you wrote a nonsense article with the sole intent of seeing how much of a response you’d get from Ron Paul supporters. You’ve received about a hundred comments. Whats the conclusion?

Hi,
I’m just here to play in the sand box too. I have a tea party set. Would you like a cup of tea? Lets talk, about Ron Paul.
“Oh,Ron Paul” is what my mommy calls out when daddy is tickling her behind closed doors.
Sometimes Daddy wears a colonial costume and tells mommy “call me Ron Paul”
Ron Paul is going to be the next President of the USA. I love Ron Paul as much as chocolate cookies.
When I grow up, I wanna marry Ron Paul.

what a great experiment! What does it prove? It proves to me that there are a great many supporters of our next President Ron Paul. He has already won, whether he gets into the white house or not. very day that is freeing more minds of this oppressive government.

If you are going to conduct an experiment like this, you should at least allow the latest comments at the top of the page, so I don’t have to scroll all the way down to read my comment.

People are scared of change. The strange part about this is the fact that they are scared of positive change when there is so much negativity around them. They become complacent with failures, deceit, and unlawful violations to a point that their masters can control them easily and at any time.
It is time to wake up America. Out of 27 national polls taken over the past 6 months Ron Paul has only been included in 5 that received national attention at the time (and the polls in his home state did not even list him), and has been removed from others when it showed a glimmer of hope that he may win.
A rigged election and media as well as an unconstitutional law enforcement department (like the county in Florida where they held the last GOP debate) will give the American people exactly what they deserve! another 4 years of Bush’s policy of failure with no one accepting accountability.
The Ron Paul Revolution may not make it to the top, but the Revolution itself will be around long after the 08 election, only this time well organized and ready to change the system that has so many people dismayed and distrustful of their government. There are posts all over the internet about how Ron Paul doesn’t register on their polls, and that has been disproved, in that his true numbers as well as name have been removed from any and all major polls. This tells us one thing for sure, he scored high enough to eliminate any promotion of his cause.
Someone is scared of what he brings to the table, and that is a good thing since all outlets to “get the word out” are owned by the corporations who pay lobbyists to make political decisions for you and I, and when they make their decisions you can always bet the most important aspect of any decision will be based on the dollar, and not you or your families well being.
So I am guilty of being a Ron Paul fan. A crazed citizen who wants less tax, an idiot that demands fair legal practices for all, not only the elite, a fruit that wants health care, Medicare, medicate fixed, a loon that thinks that the constitution that has made this country what it is today should be the rule of law as it has been for 200 years prior to the Bush administration, a complete nut who does not want the financial burden to be passed to my children, an extremist that wants illegal immigrants out and legal immigration to thrive, a communistic, extremist, madman like myself (OH yeah and my entire family of life long republicans) will be voting for Ron Paul in 08.
So make fun of Dr. Paul, and try your best to make him out to be something he is not, as all you are doing is lying to yourself and other misinformed sheeple, and there is nothing more ridiculous than that, not even a Ron Paul supporter!

Rep. Ron Paul is a constitutional freedom fighter that dares to stand up and say what everyone else has been thinking over the last couple terms of presidency. Our country is going down hill and there needs to be some drastic changes in terms of economy, foreign policy and immigration (among many other things) - which the good doctor is aptly addressing in his campaign. Paul is honest and passionate about the important issues for America’s future, he is original, deliberate and clear in the articulation of his ideas and should he get to the front of the line and win this election I think the country will be much better off in the long run.
Ron Paul 2008…hope for America!
