It's a damn shame Americans cant open their eyes. I think Ron Paul would be a better president than McCain or Clinton.

Once again America chooses to kill the messenger,but the message still hangs over the election,pushed to the side like it really doesn't matter. The "others" answer to out of control healthcare costs? Why,you simply shove more billions at the problem. Crushing national debt? What debt? Ignore the problem and it will go away. At least for this election cycle. Shaky Fed policies? I haven't met an American yet who understands what the Fed is or how it works. Admittedly I was the same way until Ron Paul pushed me into thinking for myself. When the dollar crashes(as every fiat currency has-centuries of history have born this out)it will be of little consolation for myself and many economists to say "I told you so" as everyone goes down with a sinking ship. Maybe it won't hurt me as bad since decades of lower-middleclass living has taught me to go without.

Ron Paul needs help retaining his congressional seat too. He is being challenged in a primary by another "Republican." Ron Paul cannot transfer any funds from his presidential campaign to his congerssional campaign by law. I've read that Paul's seat in congress is in serious jeopardy. So contribute to that campaign because we need Ron Paul's voice in Congress more than ever.

You used the word Republican with quotes around it as if to imply that Chris Peden is not a Republican when, in fact, he merely holds some views which are different from Ron Paul. Most, from what I have read, are remarkably similar to Paul's in regard to basic conservatism and they are not by any stretch of the imagination the views of the Democratic Party. It would seem to me that from what I have read that there is some feeling among Republicans in his district that Paul has spent too much time promoting his own political philosophy on time they feel would be better used representing their local interests in Congress. That's not uncommon and is, in fact, pretty commonplace when people seek national attention and/or national office. I've seen the same criticism of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain. Some of the criticism I've seen from down there has been about his ineffectiveness as a legislator. That seems fair given his inability to get any bill he has introduced passed in Congress in 10 years.

He hasn't "gone along to get along" with other Republicans who have abandoned the Constitution in their pork barrel spending. Actually it might be a blessing in disguise if Ron Paul loses his congressional seat. That will free him up to build a third party which is so badly needed in this country. Actually it would be a second party alternative to the Republicrat Party.

Mary - If you actually bothered to check up on your hero you'd find he introduced 80+ earmarks and $400,000,000 for his district. I'd call that pork except for the $8,000,000+ he got for the private shrimp industry down there.

That he doesn't get Bills passed. Thank God for Ron Paul then. He is saving me money and is not just a "Big Sell Out". We need more people in Congress like him , not less. If the good people of Texas do not Elect Ron Paul to Congress they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Just like the Majority of Americans Do. The give it to me yesterday philosphy: Whether it is truely good for the Country as a whole or not.

Yea, Them are a pretty site. I wonder why foreign Newspapers never come over To our great Country and do a Story about our Native peoples? Since we as Americans are so good at sticking our noses into every crevice of the Globe.

Shrimp is a Smart thing, my friend. IMHO Simply saying, Knewbie, that Paul can't have it both ways, claiming on the one hand to be above everyone else while doing the very same things he condemns when done by others. The operative word is "hypocrisy."

The give it to me yesterday philosphy:
Whether it is truely good for the Country as a whole or not. One might reasonably assume that if one is elected to a legislative body that the person should have an ability to write legislation that represents the will of the people who elected him. Fair enough? I would suspect that if Ron Paul ran for Congress declaring he would make no effort to do this more than a few people would question why he should be paid to do nothing except vote "No." Seems like anyone can do that. But more to the point, as we have discussed this on these threads, the assumption some like your- self is that legislation is in its very nature a bad thing when, in fact, that is not necessarily the case. Laws can resolve differences. Well written laws can actually reduce the need for additional laws. Laws can prevent litigation. Laws can protect and serve the public. Some laws can save money, reduce future expenditures, or consolidate functions of government. The notion that legislation is inherently bad is a simplistic approach to government that fails to understand the legislative process.

The operative word is "hypocrisy." Right there is the Word, "Hyprocrites". Cuz, That is what most of them are. They write the Laws Interpret the Laws Enforce the Laws And then Break the the Laws In any way that they see fit to do. PS You must have a Special spot for Lawyers in your Heart. Have a good day

Ron Paul cannot be elected while he is a member of the Republican party. I do not know why he will not and has not ran as an indpendent.
