Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread - Page 31 - Politics and Economics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCM_wQy4YVg

Ron really crushes it here. Worth noting that google, a company that presumably has pretty smart employees, had every candidate come and do this and RP's was by far the best attended.

Just listened to the first 35 mins of this and was pretty fascinated. Not being an American, quick cliffs on how it's possible for someone like RP to be a Republican at all? Just seems sooooo far away from either the GOP or the Dems (mostly in a good way).

Voting for Ron Paul is not enough, we need to put some libertarians or another third party into congress. The Congress we have now is power mad both sides.
They are destroying us with their sanctioned police brutality, criminalizing everything from drugs, poker, drinking, searching the internet, Start a business and You probably get shut down for some law or other. If You call someone a *** you get a homosexual sensitivity course, Then Globalization, and the internet have decimated jobs. We need to manufacture and tariff. My vote is for Paul and other like minded candidates.

more people watched a Rebecca Black video than any video related to politics ergo Rebecca Black is more insightful than any politician. More people attend concerts than attend the republican convention ergo Black Eyes Peas are political powerhouses.

concede, good sirs, concede.

Lol Wow. How many pornstar forum threads have this kind of idiotic trolling I wonder. I'm guessing RP wins on that count.

who is trolling? I thought this thread was about Ron Paul and whether he was any good for the country. And somehow the thread has turned into being about wilneedheart. And I am getting the blame for it. Strange.

I'm losing track of what's being discussed here. Is Ron Paul coming out in favor of significant tariffs or something?

Many RP haters like to say he has such radical ideas not realizing all he does is read and apply The Constitution. Hes not throwing out crazy ideas hes following the guidelines given to us by our Founding Fathers.

the constitution hasn't been followed since like 1800 - pretty radical to suggest it be followed now.

This is what you mean, and your opinion is just one in 300+ million. Which isn't to say I disagree with your interpretation, but as a matter of social contract theory, it's a little more complicated than what you are saying.

You can only say that the constitution was followed pre 1800 if you are grossly ignorant of that period of US history

Do you guys ever just slow down and say, The... United... States... of America?

just break it down word by word? Individual entities united under a common goal. Yet still individual entities. There is a reason it was set up this way. RP knows this and wants to restore this.

I could get into the "And to the Republic for which it stands" but I know that we need people on both sides of the debate so I wont go there.

Ron calls himself a republican because he truly feels he is one. He feels much of his party has lost its way and he has publicly noted it many times

For the most recent videos of Ron Paul, visit RonPaulFlix.com

Ron Paul approach to budget cuts: funding programs is like giving allowance to kids. 5 Programs should be cut equally cuz if you are cutting kids' allowance that's what you would do. Because all programs are equally valuable and can weather cuts the same.
