Oct. 24, 2007 - What makes Ron Paul different?

Posted in Political
Imagine what it would be like if one of the Founding Fathers magically came back in our time. That's what Ron Paul is like. He stands for what the Founding Fathers stood for. He's one of the only candidates from either main party that will not take money from special interest groups. It's refreshing and gives me hope. None of the other candidates (Romney, Giuliani, etc.) are as knowledgeable about the Constitution as Ron Paul is. In one of the debates Romney said he'd consult with his lawyers in order to figure out if he could declare war. Ron Paul (who very rarely makes any kind of attack on another candidate) exasperatedly pointed out that only Congress can declare war and if Romney were familiar with the Constitution Romney would know that. None of them are as passionate about protecting our personal sovereignty and freedom as Ron Paul is. If you love liberty, you will find hope in Ron Paul's message.
 
I think the best way to understand who Ron Paul is and what he stands for is to watch some of the many videos online or to look through his website.

Nov. 9, 2007 - primary elections

Posted by Katie
I have ignored all the candidates thus far, because I know that I'll never have enough time to delve thoroughly into their pasts and determine their true stance on every single issue. I realize this is a defeatist attitude, and that I should just try to learn what I can and do my best. So anyway, that's my main excuse for why I haven't looked into Ron Paul yet. The other one is that the MDC-ers steadfastly claim that he's a racist and misogynist. It's hard not to listen to that and not know how to refute it.

Anyway, now that you've posted these videos, I've been listening to some of them, and I'm really intrigued. I wish I could truly know the heart and mind of the candidates to know what their true motives are and what they really think. Anyway (again), in order to vote for a presidential primary, would I have to declare myself Republican? That sounds a little repugnant to me (I don't want to align with *any* party), but I might do it to vote for him.

Katie,

He supports legal home birth midwives and has a low c-section rate (like 15%) so I'm rather impressed by that. I think the people at MDC have got to be full of it and don't like him simply because he's conservative. ;-) He's pro-home school and doesn't like government-mandated vaccines.

You do have to be registered as a Republican. It might be too late, but you should definitely check!

Have you popped into the Mamas for Ron Paul thread in the Current Events/News forum? It's kind of a trainwreck thread, I think. It has thousands of posts to it. The naysayers say that Ron Paul is a favorite of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, organizations with ties to the KKK, etc. They say that he has made racist remarks and has aligned himself with known racist organizations. I am sure they have attacked his conservatism too, though :-)

I'm registered to vote, but I'm 'independent'. I'll have to look into changing it for Feb. 5th.
