Best Second Amendment Quote Ever! by a politician

Re: Best Second Ammendment Quote Ever! by a politician

I don't think it's possible to say it any better than that.

 

Re: Best Second Ammendment Quote Ever! by a politician

Thats because the NRA dosent want gun grabbing to stop. They have gotten fat off of it and been to long in bed with politicians , learning their ways and they know that if there werent still threats to our guns and occasional guns being banned and such then people wouldnt need to pour millions upon millions into their coffers every year.

 

Re: Best Second Ammendment Quote Ever! by a politician

Ron Paul is right on target. Look at Burma, they can only throw rocks and have to break furniture for clubs. Let us not end up like that. GOA, JPFO, and other gun groups don't comprimise. Yet the NRA [National registry association] is lying down like some preachers telling their people to submit. If we do, we will be like those poor jews sent to the camps, the ones Halliburton is building as we speak. NEVER!

 

I'm no Ron Paul Fan, Melbo. My current choice is Fred Thompson. We'll see, closer to the election. If my 1ST choice is not the frontrunner, then, I will vote for the lesser of two evils. If Ron Paul were to run as a Libertarian, Constitutionalist or Independent, I would have a little more trust in Him. Ron running as a Republican is false advertizing. If Ron Paul were to be the only candidate running against Billary or Osamabama, then he would have my vote. Ron Paul's too out of touch with Conservatism, for me. Notice his voting record of over 60% liberal. Gun Control is a single issue, which Ron generally votes the right way. It's not enough to earn my vote. Ric Douglas

06/24/1999 Flag Desecration Amendment No
06/04/1998 Religious Freedom Amendment bill No
06/12/1997 Flag Desecration Constitutional Amendment No

No votes on Minor notification, and lack of support for the unborn by the means on not protecting pregnant mothers and their unborn children make Ron Paul weak on the abortion issue.

Not limiting Gun manufacturers for frivolous lawsuits, and big bank money grabs by the ACLU and their ilk, makes Ron Paul Weak on Gun Control

Votes against getting the government out of the affairs of my Church makes him weak on defense of the Church.

Votes also show him weak on the defense of the flag.

And when you consider that he has voted no vote to every defense appropriation bill that has come down the pike, you will determine his voting record is more Libertarian than Republican. If you caucus with the Republicans and have this kind of voting record, well that make you a RINO.

The facts and the record speak for themselves.

 

Given that you at least bring some facts to back your opinion, I can respect your views on it but his BIGEST attribute as far as most are concerned is that he truely supports the constitution and wont vote for things that outreach the governments authority per the constitution even if he personaly likes the ideas. He supports getting rid of the laws and agencies that are not authorized under the constitution which is also his reason for voteing against funding a war that while it may have good merit, is not in sinc with constitutional means and foriegn policy.

While most of us have some of the unconstitutional things we like or would like to have/keep (maybe a ban on flag burning that infringes freedom of speach/protest that is disgusting to most patriots, or a personaly favored government program that helps pay farmers which the Fed is NOT authorized to do by the constitution or whatever) the constitution is really an all or none proposal and the powers not given to the Fed by the constitution it dose NOT have and must be adresed at the state or local levels without infringing our freedoms protected by the constitution and bill of rights or not be done at all unless we agre to go along with 'Dubyas idea that the constitution is 'just a goddamn piece of paper'.

RP is the only remotely viable candidate in a LONG time who would actualy show any likelyhood of actualy honor the oath of office by preserving and protecting the constitution and that alone is enouph reason for me to be sure to not only vote for him but to fully support him.

 

A Protest Vote does not determine the outcome of our country's well-being for the next 4 years. Right now, Ron Paul AND Fred Thompson are Protest Votes. If one of them becomes the frontrunner against Billary or Osamabama, they will have my vote. Ron Paul is a far cry from a first choice for President, in my book. Fred Thompson for President! Ric Douglas

 

If I was going for a protest vote I wouldnt go for ANYONE running on either of the big 2s tickets simply to protest the Dempublican/Republicrat crap of both wanting to screw us. IMO RP is the only candidate that is electable who dosent have that agenda and given the cross party line support he has as well as the number of straw polls he has won, placed and shown in (very high and very under reported) I think he has a real shot at the nomination and if he is put up against Hitlary or Osama then I figure has a VERY good shot if not a flat guarantee of winning. Also givven Freds support for a North American union anexing us into being a part of Mexico and Canida and giving up our sovernty, theres NO WAY I would vote for him.

 

Even if He was the Frontrunner against Billary or Osamabama? Ric Douglas

 

At that poit I would cast a protest vote either for a third party or a write in for Ron Paul. Whats the point to voteing between the various demons who want to devour you? None of them would leave our nation in tact if the had their way, each of those would make us a part of Mexico and Canada loseing our sovernty and looseing our rights starting with the second amendment since globalism means going along with the UN who already are wanting us disarmed, becomeing a part of a union like Europe has simply makes servitude to the UN come quicker and more complete.

So yeah, even if he was running against Hillary or Obama he still would NOT get my vote.

 

That makes two. Either RP will get my vote or the liberatain party will get it, NO one will get a protest vote from me. I have never casted a protest vote and I shall not start now. A vote for Fred Thompson is a vote for more socialist IMHO.

OGM

 

......

 

I don't agree with all of Paul's stated beliefs, or even that he does too.

Why I support him though, is that I think he is closer to his roots than any other candidate out there and has the ability to shake up the belief structure of the Left and Right...which is long overdue.

 

Gadinort..... Agreed.

Even if I were opposed to most of his opinions, I'd still vote for him because he is the only one that isn't a bought whore and really does believe in the constitution. The only one that will remove power from the republicrat structure that's in place now.

 

I do not trust Ron Paul. His Talk and His Voting Record are a Contradiction. Ric

Ron Paul: A Liberal-tarian, Not a Conservative (karma: 8) en>fr fr>en

Ron Paul supporters are fast making a name for themselves on the web. Not because they are just web savvy, but because they have proven themselves to be the best at hacking on-line polls, invalidating conservative polling data on behalf of their candidate. It seems that even Democrat 527 MoveOn.org is now onboard the Ron Paul anti-war train.
Despite the fact that presidential candidate Ron Paul can not score better than 3% in any legitimate national poll, his supporters claim he is “the conservative” candidate to beat in the 2008 Republican race for the White House. Despite his less than conservative voting record in congress and his Teddy Kennedy like position on the war on terror in Iraq, his supporters think he is the most “conservative” candidate in the race. How?

I can keep going, but you can go look for yourself if you need more information. I think this is more than enough to explain why liberal Democrats are supporting Ron Paul for President. He’s better aligned with their thinking than either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

It’s true that he voted correctly several times throughout his lengthy political career too. But then, so has Hillary and Teddy. Paul is telling folks that he has never voted against Americans best interests, to paraphrase. Does that look true above?

The question is - why are some self-styled Republicans supporting him and why are they willing to adopt the liberal practice of manipulating on-line polls and trashing other conservative candidates in order to promote what is clearly not a conservative candidate?

In 1992, a similar set of events were underway, both liberal-tarian Republicans with an isolationist national security outlook and a desire to end all federal spending not aimed at benefiting them personally, worked together with liberal Democrats who shared those same “all about me” values to promote a third party candidate named Ross Perot. Together, they seated President Bill Clinton with less than 47% of the popular vote, against the will of more than 53% of voters.

A friend and fellow writer recently pointed out that libertarians are actually just social liberals who don’t want any of their money used to fund the natural consequences of a socially liberal society. They pretend to be conservatives, when all they really are is money conscious liberals with an isolationist view of the world they live in.

Ron Paul provides a perfect example. Like Ross Perot, the notion of ending all “unconstitutional” international spending and reducing taxes is appealing to both liberals and libertarians. Withdrawing from the world for monetary reasons might prove to be deadly, but it will result in temporary reduced spending and eventually lower taxes and that is the real goal.

Ron Paul claims to be Americas “constitutionalist.” I’m a constitutionalist, a strong supporter of the American ideals so carefully crafted by our founders more than 200 years ago. So, why am I at odds with Ron Paul?

First, he’s not a constitutionalist, except when it serves his political agenda which is that of an isolationist liberal-tarian, not a conservative. When he is playing constitutionalist, as in the case of the war on terror (specifically in Iraq), he is a foolish constitutionalist.

He claims that the constitution somehow prevents us from protecting our national security interests abroad. He also fails to recognize that the national security threats are much different today, as compared to those present in 1776.

He has recently stated that America should have “declared war” before going into Iraq, and I agree. But in October of 2002, March of 2004 and June of 2006, he voted against such a notion. He has claimed that the Hussein regime posed no national security threat to America, despite the many efforts by the Hussein regime to specifically threaten America over the years. He also ignores the fact that congress has failed to “declare war” in ever military action since WWII, though they authorized military action in every case except Kosovo under Clinton.

Ron Paul uses the pieces of the constitution that serve his political agenda, while overlooking the fundamental concepts throughout our founding documents, a right to Life, Liberty, pursuit of Happiness, security, sovereignty, morality, public decency and personal freedom.

So again, why are some Republicans willing to use extreme tactics like poll manipulation and fellow conservative candidate bashing in order to promote such a liberal candidate?

It’s easy to figure out why liberal Democrats are supporting Ron Paul. He’s anti-war, pro- marijuana, pro- gay rights and abortion under the guise of “privacy”, pro- gun control, anti-trade and an isolationist who believes that America is the bad guy around the globe, rather than the generous beacon of freedom that has liberated more people than all other nations combined. He is a liberal of the blame America first, last and often sort. He is perfect for liberals who believe in all the same things… Only Cindy Sheehan or Jane Fonda can draw a bigger anti-war crowd.

Now try explaining why any Republicans support him? When you are through studying the views of his supporters, you will find that they have two common values, a strong anti-war isolationist view of world events and a deep love of their money.

At the end of the day, Ron Paul supporters on both sides of the political aisle are driven by only two beliefs and one motivating factor. They are anti-war because they are anti-tax. They do not look beyond the agenda to reduce or eliminate taxes to see the consequences of the decisions they make. They would bring the war on terror abroad right to our own doorstep to save a few tax dollars and that allows Ron Paul to appeal to anti-war voters from the far left and the far right.

Thankfully, he has never appealed to more than 3% in any legitimate national poll. Sadly, his supporters will continue attacking all real conservatives and manipulating all on-line polls to cause further confusion and divisions among conservative voters.

The DNC is working behind the scenes to make him the Ross Perot of 2008, because no Democrat candidate can win unless the conservative vote is divided. Hillary Clinton can not get 50% of the vote in a general election and Barack Obama can not get even 40%. Republicans must be divided for Democrats to win.
