Ron Paul threatens those who are in power (who are controlling you)

I watched the MSNBC GOP Presidential Debates online. I missed the first twelve minutes, and the first few (the first question asked) after the break (I was in the bathroom.) I took four pages of notes, and counted every time a candidate was asked to give a response, a rebuttal, or ask a question. I counted every time a candidate was given an ( Read more... )

I admire Ron Paul for his strong and diligent upholding of the Constitution, but his unique brand of Isolationism would have catastrophic consequences were he elected.

Ron Paul just looked confused and hopeless. Katie remarked how very old he seemed. Even though McCain is 72, he doesn't seem as old as Paul. I like Paul and Huckabee, but they do not have any business being president.

The GOP debate was useless, as everyone knows where everyone stands at this point. People who actually vote (and keep in mind, our age group has a really low percentage of actually voting) do pay attention to issues-- hence they vote. It's the apathetic who don't.

This election will be interesting, none the less.

Ron Paul's talked faster than the rest of the candidates, said more, and what he said was more meaningful.

I am completely at a loss when you say that he has no business being president. On what grounds do you say that? What did he say that made him seem confused?

I would stutter too if I were under that amount of pressure: Every single word counts because no one is willing to let you speak.

You should read a transcript of the debate; maybe then you will realize how empty many of McCain's responses were.

I agree with capnstamey. I stand by my statements that a Ron Paul administration would be catastrophically bad in a world where globalization is not only proceeding at ever-more-rapid speeds, but is almost demanded by the high level of technology and increasing dependence on foreign supplies, labor, and raw materials. While that latter may not be a good thing in every respect, it's still a core part of the 21st century world, and there's really no way to go back to "America only."

What are you talking about?! newagelink January 27 2008, 01:27:26 UTC

What are you talking about?! Are you listening to the media's claims that Ron Paul is an "isolationist"?

I have never heard anything from Ron Paul that is in line with what you are suggesting. Nowhere have I heard anything from his camp saying he wants to be "America only."

NAFTA’s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme ( ... )
