The Ron Paul Thread

[captain planet]

I know political threads on this board usually have a short life due to the heated debates they cause. However, I want to do what I can to spread a message that needs to be heard by as many people as possible.

If you are like me, you are tired of what is going on in our government and in our country and we need to get back to the basics. We are in deep trouble folks, and we need to right the ship if we have any sense of responsibility for the next generation. We need to get someone in the White House that isn't going to go with the status quo and truly intends to change things. Therefore I'm starting this; "The Ron Paul Thread".

In this thread I will attempt to keep posting, on a fairly consistent basis, links to videos and news articles concerning Mr. Ron Paul and his message.

I'll start off with a couple of videos and will post a few more in a couple days.

Good for you CP! I've been keeping up with your other thread and this is definately a step in the right direction, good choice to back as well IMHO. Formally, I don't side with either party and it generally comes down to the lesser of the evils when voting. I'm hoping Mr. Paul gets the party nomination because it will be the first time I don't regret voting. A Libertarian running under the GOP name and winning will be a game changer and I for one welcome it!

I like Mr. Paul but right now I am leaning towards Herman Cain.

Herman would be a great choice if only he had more political experience. That will hold him back form being taken as a serious candidate. But look who is in the White House now, Mr. Experience himself. :-)

At least Herman has ran a business unlike our current community organizer.

That guy is a former federal reserve guy and thus is the last guy you should consider based on that alone.

I missed the debate last night, however reading an article about it this morning there are exactly 4 sentences regarding Dr. Ron Paul. Sadly, Palin who isn't even running yet, got more virtural ink in the article than Ron Paul did. Looks like this is going to be a long up hill battle to get the message out.

I will update with links today.

Have a good day.

To those who want to sleep better at night because they "stuck by their principles", think about the big picture. Yes, we're being railroaded by Congress and POTUS and it doesn't matter which side of the aisle they're on. However, read this and ask yourselves if you can live with the consequences that you apparently haven't considered. Andrew McCarthy's words-
