Republicans, Vote Ron Paul or Else!

Wolf Blitzer:
“What is the chance that you will run as an independent third party candidate?”

Ron Paul:
“Pretty slim, I have no intention, no plans. The system is biased against third parties and independent runs. It isn’t a very democratic process. You run as an independent you cannot get into the debates, it is hard to get on ballots. I’d like to see the promotion of democracy here in this country. We deserve a little bit of improvement here.”

Wolf Blitzer:
“I want to hear the words “zero chance”, but you say “pretty slim””

Ron Paul:
“99.99 percent, I don’t like saying absolutes. But I have no plans and no intentions to do anything outside of the Republican Primary”

Ron Paul is going to win the nomination of the Republican Party or the party is going to lose in the general election. Take that as a guarantee. One I would bet $500 on. (Gambling is now legal) Now knowing that, how many of you Bush devotees are going to hold your nose and vote for him in the primaries? Are you loyal to the Republican Party and want the party to win, or hate Ron Paul more than Hillary?

Ron Paul is a social conservative Constitutionalist; think if that when it comes to the Supreme Court. He would bring fiscal responsibility to the Whitehouse. VETO! He is an anti-abortion, anti-socialized healthcare, anti-tax, Christian conservative who has been married for fifty years. And has had tons of life long Democrats switching their party affiliation on the war issue alone! Are we that devoted to a war that has no “good” ending anyway?

If he doesn’t win the nomination you are throwing your vote away. It is that simple. Because if he does not win it, we who have held our noses and endorsed the elitist’s Bush are going to vote with him, even if that means the Libertarian Party, (who might seek Pat Buchanan if Ron Paul won’t accept it, with Ron Paul as his vice-president). The 400,000 member Constitution Party is seeking Ron Paul as well, and whomever he endorsed for President is going to get millions of dollars from his supporters. If that is not the Republican Party, the Party will lose, regardless of James Dobson and his third party threat if Giuliani or Romney wins. The scenario that gave us Bill Clinton, and Woodrow Wilson, is lining up again and it is your fault, not Ron’s, if Bill gets access to the Oval Office amenities again. Our Teddy Roosevelt, or Ross Perot is on your ticket.

The ideal scenario for a third party in 08’ is if Hillary is the D. liberal and Giuliani is the R. liberal with a Ron Paul third party. Things in this country could be looking UP! It is like Thomas Jefferson 2008

“I am for preserving to the states the powers not yielded by them to the union; and for preventing the further encroachment of the executive branch on the rightful powers of congress. I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple, and for retiring the national debt, eliminating the standing army, and relying on the militia to safeguard internal security, and keeping the navy small, lest it drag the nation into eternal wars. I am for free commerce with all nations, political connections with none…. I am for freedom of religion, and for freedom of the press. And against all violations to the Constitution to silence our citizens” - Thomas Jefferson on his positions for the 1800 election.

“Paper is poverty…it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself” –Thomas Jefferson

“I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power, the greater it will be” –Thomas Jefferson

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them” –Thomas Jefferson

“I sincerely believe that banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies” –Thomas Jefferson

“It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God; it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” -Thomas Jefferson

“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its Constitution.” —Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Paine, 1798

Ron Paul, the United Nations, and Iraq

“The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure” ~George Washington

Here is what Ron Paul said about why he is on the "get out" side of the Iraq war. It is not because it is politically expedient, it is because it was not a defensive war, and Congress ignored the Constitution in favor of the United Nations to give their responsibility for war to the President. Why did they do it? So they could get out from under the blame if it went wrong.

Ron Paul, "Brushfires of Freedom" September 2007:

"In October 2002 we passed legislation that transferred congressional authority to the President to go to war. This piece of legislation I was strongly opposed to. There are two issues involved. We are in war, we can’t deny it. The two issues are the way we go to war, and whether the war is wise or not. I believe that the war was not a wise, Constitutional, defensive war and thus have been opposed to it. The other side of the coin is how do you do it? This is one thing that the founders were very, very clear on. We as a people would only go to war when the people’s opinions were expressed through their members of congress. That is a Declaration of War by the members of congress, that is should be the ONLY way we go to war….

"When that resolution came to International relations, the committee that I am on, I amended and substituted it with a declaration of war. It was very simple, it was three lines long. I copied it from World War two. And I told them at the time "You are going to have to defeat this because I am going to vote against my amendment. But this is what you should do if you want to go to war.” They didn’t like to vote on it, they didn’t like what I was going to do, and of course no one voted for it. Instead they passed this resolution which transfers the power to go to war at will to the President.

"I want to read to you what the chairman of the committee [Henry Hyde] said immediately after I introduced my resolution; his statement was this (he was putting me down):

“There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events, by time; declaration of war is one of them. There are things no longer relevant to a modern society. Why declare war if you don’t have to? We are saying to the President, use your judgment. To demand that we declare war is to strengthen something to death. You have got a hammerlock on this situation that is not called for, inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn’t done anymore.”

"That was the chairman of the committee telling me that our Constitution is anachronistic, it is a waste of time. And then the Democrat minority leader in the committee [Tom Lantos] gave a similar talk, and his strongest word was:

“What you are doing, Paul, is frivolous.”

"This is what we are up against. Again, my strength does not come from them; it comes from you, the people who care about our Constitution.

"In that resolution, they never mention Article One Section Eight and declaration of war, that was totally ignored, but they mentioned the United Nations twenty-one times.

"At the same time, and in those months that followed, we did hear in the public a fair amount of criticism about the U.N. The criticism was that the U.N. was not joining on, and they did not respond as our administration wanted them to. It could have been interpreted that this was a strong attack on the United Nations. It wasn’t so much that as a challenge to the United Nations to be stronger and more forceful and let us control the United Nations, but still we were using the United Nations. Even at the State of the Union message, if you listened carefully, it was mentioned four times. He talked about the war and upholding these United Nations resolutions. So we do know that the opposition to the United Nations is not that strong, even though you might hear strong comments coming from our leadership….

"We are still paying far beyond our fair share at the United Nations. We get stuck with responsibility, and the financing, and the burden, and the men lost, all too often. I think the thing we should be concerned about from the United Nations, (the damage that is done to us, and the potential damage that is likely to come), the greatest threat is that we have over these years been willing to turn over to the United Nations much of the control of our foreign policy and when we go to war. And that has to be changed."

We need to get behind this man if we are really serious about keeping our Constitutional Sovereignty. It is no small thing.

Who agrees with Ron Paul?

Well Ron Paul is hated by the Republicans for believing what this man said:




AND
What this man said:



What a FOOL! He should have believed them AFTER they became President and Vice President. How could he believe Bush? Cheney? Hell, they didn't even believe themselves!

I promise you nothing but Freedom

Why we NEED Ron Paul for President

Inflation redifined for Ron Paul and Ben Bernanke

‘Inflation’ is a word that has too many definitions. Confusion comes from trying to use this word in conversation when the meaning of the word is not concrete. Therefore I am going to follow the teenage mutant ninja turtle’s guideline and invent new words to crack this word into three.

Inflation has 3 definitions.
1- Money supply increase.
2- Overall price of goods and services increase.
3- Currency value decrease, or devaluation
The third meaning comes from the first two and is oxymoronic, for how can a decrease come from the word inflate?
My new words are:
1- Monflation,
2- Priflation, and
3- Demonvaluation.
Cool words huh. Cowabunga dude

When the Federal Reserve chairman is being grilled by my favorite man in politics, Dr. Ron Paul, they are speaking of two different things. Mr. Smooth himself, Ben Bernanke attempts to dismiss Dr. No by stating things that he knows are not 100% true. They both use the word Inflation, but Dr. No is talking about monflation, while Mr. Smooth is talking about priflation; both of which they know produce demonvaluation. Dr. No believes that monflation creates demonvaluation and therefore priflation. Mr. Smooth believes that priflation is controlled by attempting to reduce demonvaluation through keeping interest rates rather than monflation as the criteria.

Most people don’t know it, but the priflation statistics that the Federal Reserve uses are not what you would think. In their “core” CPI (consumer price index), the only relevant data to them regarding priflation, they do not include things that you or I would. You know, things like food, gas, and the price of buying a house. I may not be a rocket scientist, but that is kinda like lying if you ask me. The inflation rate, according to Mr. Smooth (priflation), is 3%, but according to Dr. No (demonvaluation), it is 10%. For some reason, I believe Ron Paul more than Ben Bernanke.

The Last Ron to run sounds like to the new one

The Amero vs Social Security

The Amero is coming. What is the Amero you ask? The Amero is a new currency that is based on a new international bank and the North American Union. It is a currency that will compete with the dollar as legal tender in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. This new bank is already in existence, so don't think this is a conspiracy "theory" WATCH

The downturn of our economy is precipitating a need for the Amero as the dollar gets weaker and weaker. We are going to see a need for it, but there is a BIG problem, and that is it is unconstitutional and seriously undermines United States soveriegnty. What I propose is something much better AND will have no adverse impact on our economy. In fact it would stimulate it like nothing else. What is that you say?

THE SOCIAL SECURITY BANK

The more I contemplate this idea, the more I like it. It would be politically correct, bipartisan, and have popular support. Not only that, it would lower the federal deficit and repair Social Security at the same time. The only problem is overcoming ignorance from the masses and lack of ignorance from the banking lobby.

In essence it would be a chartered Central Bank that has only one client but tons of investors. It would save Social Security while at the same time lowering the National Debt. The Federal Reserve would have necessary congressional oversight, and the dollar would begin to rise in value.

The chartering of the bank would include rules removing the ability of the Federal Reserve to buy Treasury Securities and requires them to Issue Federal Reserve Securities to borrow the money from the Social Security Bank that it loans to other banks. This new bank would be directly managed by the Congress of the United States, thus making it legal under the Constitution. All the Citizenry can invest in this bank by buying retirement "Social" securities called FEDERAL RESERVE BONDS. The money we inject into this bank will buy these bonds from the Federal Reserve.

Along with the bill chartering this bank new rules will mandate all banks including the Federal Reserve to raise their reserves at a steady rate while keeping the discount and federal funds rates frozen at 5%. This intrest rate rule would end when reserves reach 100%. This will build in a demand for loans from the Federal Reserve, and thus demand for the Federal Reserve to issue Fed Securities to gain this needed money. The Social Security Bank will have NO reserve requirements except for the Federal Government demand deposits. Congress can use tax money to buy Fed bonds if needed. All interest income from these bonds would go into the Treasury.

I haven't gone to college, haven't taken any economics courses, but I have read alot about our monetary system. This looks viable and practical to me, but would gladly take any criticism of it. Am I nuts?

All I can say is watch

Advice for Ron Paul

I would love to be Ron Paul’s PR director. I could help him get his awesome message out without looking so fringe. After watching the debate on Sunday, I couldn’t help noticing that he did not seem clear or concise, and was trying to get a lot of words into a short answer. (a.k.a. “rambling”) (Of course that did not keep me from voting for him via text message.) I also couldn’t help noticing how much more relaxed and clear the other candidates were, even though they obviously were talking on issues that to most Americans seem pointless, or frightening. After the debate, Ron Paul was much more relaxed and clear when he was being interviewed by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes. That was great, but I wish he would have done that during the debate. I am positively convinced that his success is shocking even to himself and he really does not know how to make the next step and turn the anti-terrorist crowd to the anti-war side; even though I know it is possible. So here is my advice for Dr Ron Paul:

1- Stop worrying about your message more than your temperament. You ARE top tier, and in this day and age of “image is everything” you need to be more confident, when someone says insulting things or says something that is really horrible, be calm and stern rather than angry and excited. Ignore the bell more.

2- Disarm the critics, laugh at their stupid insinuations and smear tactics, but still take them down quickly. You could make your point better by answering the question with the one they should have asked. EVEN IN THE DEBATES

3- Reason with the war crowd, for they have been taught that we would be cowards if we saved more troops from getting killed. They believe that. Get specific about the DIFFERENCE between ending terrorism and the war on terror. Tell the people that the terrorists WILL win if we let 9/11 take away our freedoms, privacy or sovereignty.

4- Proclaim that you are for a STRONG national defense every chance you get, and that you advocate a better foreign policy that will make us safer, NOT WEAKER. Specify that you would like to build up the bases here at home, that you want to push missile defense, and better treatment of our veterans etc.

5- Use personal stories in the debates; they take away antagonism from disagreement. Babies and hero’s come to mind.

6- Realize that even though you are brilliant, and your policies would be awesome in making our Country the envy of the world again and accomplishing exactly what those who attack you want. You MUST BACK OFF the FBI, the CIA, and the Federal Reserve in your speech. In this I mean call it “reforming” rather than “abolishing”. Everyone knows that we need intelligence, investigation, and monetary policy at the Federal level, even though they have done some bad things.

7- Bring up intelligent truth’s that people like me didn’t realize. Such as Letters of Marqe and Reprisal, the 1998 Iraqi liberation act, the Declaration of War that you proposed that was voted down, and other things people are amazed enough to actually think about.

I want Ron Paul to win, it would be the best thing this country did for itself in a long, long time. But I want everyone to realize that he is one candidate among four, and if you take all three of the others and make them into one, he will lose in the primary and Hilbillery will win in the General. He is the only hope we have. No pressure man.

Ron Paul is right about the Middle East

In 1953 the CIA overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq in Iran. Why? He was very popular for standing up to the oil companies, and their treatment and pay to Iranian workers. In 1952 he used his power to nationalize the oil fields. The CIA bombed cleric’s and blamed him, and paid mobs and police to overthrow him. The Shah then became dictator of Iran. From 1953 to 1978 Iran bought $18 billion worth of military arms from U.S. arms manufacturers. Half of the oil was owned by U.S. oil companies. In 1978, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger persuaded Jimmy Carter to allow the Shah to come to the U.S. for medical treatment. Because of this, the Iranians overthrew the Shah and took hostages from the American embassy where the 1953 “Operation Ajax” was run. This was the “Islamic Revolution” that changed Iran from a dictatorship to an Islamic Republic. The U.S. traded arms for those hostages. Israel was the middle man. The Iran-Contra scandal in 1984-85 showed that the CIA was selling arms to Iran even up to that time, while diplomatically supporting and selling arms to Iraq.

Iraq became a nation after WWII and had ties with the Soviet Union until 1978. It nationalized its oil in 1972. Sadaam Hussein became President in 1979 although he had been prominent since 1964. He was a reformist secular leader who abolished most Sharia law courts. In 1978 he ousted the last of the Communist Party from the political structure. His internal police was brutal to opposition and although he was westernized, he was hated by his own people. In 1980, the U.S. supported and sold arms (including chemical) to Iraq in Sadaam's attempt to conquer Iran. Sadaam declared himself "winner" in 1988. He used biological weapons supplied by the U.S. on the Kurds within his country who were attacking Iraqi military. Kuwait gave $30 billion to help Iraq in its war with Iran and Iraq wanted the debt cancelled, but Kuwait refused. Kuwait was also “slant drilling” into Iraqi oil fields. So in 1990 he thought he could conquer Kuwait and have U.S. backing. Oops.

The Saudi government who supported Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war, allowed the U.S. to build (using Bin Laden and Sons Construction) and use bases within Saudi Arabia to attack Iraq in 1990. Saudi Arabia is the holiest of holies for the Muslim religion. Many religious zealots in the religion issued a Jihad against America. Osama Bin Laden was a Saudi who was a central figure to many Muslims for his great ‘win’ against the Soviet Union in keeping occupiers out of Afghanistan. The CIA supported him and funded him. Then he saw the U.S. as the great new evil. 15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for the attack on 9/11 were Saudi, as is their leader.

THOSE DARN JIHADISTS JUST HATE OUR FREEDOMS, OUR WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND OUR CHRISTIAN RELIGION

Imagine Ron Paul as President. Removing all troops from the Persian Gulf and ignoring the UN. Selling food and everything else to Iran, Iraq, and every other country in the region. Signing new treaties with each country, and formally apologizing to the Muslim community. THen Congress issues a Letter of Marqe and Reprisal against Osama Bin Laden, putting a $1 Billion price tag on his head.
Our troops would be honored by the vanquished as truly good will soldiers instead of invaders, and our troops would be honored by us. Good will never fails, but it never is considered good will by using guns. National Defense is never National Offense, and 9/11 should not change us for the worse.

The Ron Paul Party

THE INDEPENDENT AMERICAN PARTY

1- Reform the Banking System, and put value back into money
The Federal Reserve System creates money backed by storage of debt. Banks multiply this money by monetizing other debt on top of this. Interest is added and there is not enough money in circulation to cover it, and there never will be as long as it continues. Inflation comes from fractional reserve banking and that needs to be completely eliminated. Gold, silver, and any storable commodity such as oil, steel, or even farm products and real estate can be monetized by government storing them, all based on their value in gold. Let money enter the marketplace in several sectors, through the several Departments of the government, not just banking through credit. The Federal Reserve needs to be a Department of government, and interest generated by loaning money to banks should become property of the United States Treasury. A branch of the Federal Reserve Bank should be in each state.

2- Abolish the personal income tax
This tax was originally a tax on interest income, dividends, and foreign earned income. It has grown to be the tool used to enslave the American People. There should be no tax on wages. Corporate Income Tax and General Tariffs would easily make up the difference.

3- Reform the Election Process
Term limits on congressional and Senate seats should become law by amending the constitution. Our elected officials pander to the media and special interests because of their desire to be re-elected. The election process is more often dictated by major media focus on certain issues, and many in office change their vote to be re-elected because of it. Smart people should be in government who can use their heads in spite of current public opinion from the focus group media and lobbyist’s. The seventeenth amendment should be repealed and Senators should be elected by State Legislatures, and the President should be elected by electoral votes that are separated by congressional district and each state legislature should have two votes. No elected official should get a pension longer than their term in years, and none should get more money than their salary. Any who accept bribes should be kicked out and imprisoned immediately. Any Federal officer who breaks their oath of office would be tried for treason. On the ballot in the year the President is elected, each citizen votes for a presidential elector for their congressional district, while the state legislatures shall elect two presidential electors total, these electors will vote for the President of the United States.

4- Reform the United Nations and Get out of treaty “Organizations”
The United Nations is now the government of the world, it now dictates more than peace between nations and exchange rates of currencies. More and more it is dictating the economies and internal laws of nations. All treaties should be treaties expressly designated under the Constitution, and no treaty "organizations" should be entered into by the United States, these organizations preside over Constitutional government. The United States government should be prohibited from entering into them.

5- Establish a North American Union through the Constitution
The Constitution of the United States is the greatest form of government on earth; it should stay that way or improve. Mexico and Canada could be invited to separate into states and become a part of the United States. If we keep it, Iraq should become a state. Cuba, Puerto Rico and The Virgin Islands should already be states. Any and all land controlled by the United States should become states, except the District of Columbia.

6- Disarm the CIA, FBI, BATF, and all other federal agencies not responsible for personal security of those in public office or police enforcement within the District of Columbia. Otherwise let only the military use weapons in the name of the Federal Government. State and local police forces should be well armed to enforce federal law.

7- Eliminate every Federal Department that is not expressly allowed by the Constitution. Some Departments are beneficial, but should be expressly permitted by an Amendment to the constitution. They should have elected officials running them. Make their boards elected by the STATE Legislatures every year with no term limit, while the chairman is appointed by the President as the Secretary of that department.

8- Add two other Amendments to the Constitution
a- The Federal Government cannot borrow money, except in time of war through Trust funds.
b- NO act of abuse or killing of any foreign person can be performed outside of the jurisdiction of what the Constitution expressly allows. Any President or military leader who disobeys this will be tried for assault or murder by federal law.

RON PAUL

WOW! I can't believe there is actually a candidate who has put the real issues on the table!

Go Ron Paul!
