Re: Gore Is Our Next President (Ron Paul as VP?)

Al Gore is not going to run; it's obvious he has some agreement with the Clintons, or he would have done it already (Obama / Edwards are both going nowhere). A Gore/Clinton ticket would have been pretty strong, but I think they are blinded by Clinton's fundraising and it will be Clinton/probably Obama but maybe Edwards.

I think Al Gore has had enough.

That said - Ron Paul can win the nomination ... remember, PEOPLE vote in primaries, not some abstract party decided by Sean Hannity and Rudy McRomneyson. It's all about spreading the message. Everywhere it is spread, people see it is the truth. This country, and the republican party in particular, is waking up. That is a good thing. You're going to be surprised. Just wait.

Keep fighting the good fight.

I did the same. $10/month is a small price to pay!

Huh? What country are YOU in? Everybody here hates taxes, this is a win-win, whether it succeeds or not. The war is paramount, of course. But a couple of extra issues thrown in are not distracting at all. Besides, this just shows that none of the other turkeys have the guts to do anything except repeat the same tired old Bush doctrine.

None of those democrats will end WAR. They may "redeploy" the troops from Iraq to ... Iran? ... but they will not end War anymore than they ever did. That's a fact. Ron Paul is, therefore, the only credible choice on the most critical issue of our time. Congress is spineless and refuses to do it - in my mind, grounds for hanging the lot of them, the traitors - and thus it's up to the executive. That's where Ron Paul comes in.

And have you heard any of the gibberish that comes out of the democratic camp? Socialized health care, more spending all over the place, increasing taxes on the rich to pay for it ... you know, the rich can afford to LEAVE this country and go somewhere where the taxes are cheaper, like Germany/France/the Scandinavian countries.

So I ask, how will they pay for this stuff? I will tell you how: they'll print money. That's called inflation. The Fed will lie about it, call it "tame" so long as we exclude fuel and food (and probably, I'd imagine, water sooner or later), and we'll just keep puttering along. But a collapse will happen, because it always does. And when our banking system collapses, it's going to be a giant immigration problem for CANADA, you just wait. Maybe Mexico, too, if by that time they have their act together a little more.

You say "Ron Paul doesn't talk about any of these issues" and I just have to laugh, because he's the only one out there who actually talks, and I mean not just giving some vapid rhetoric that means nothing, about ALL of those issues. ALL OF THEM. Every single one.

I hope you will do some further investigation. There are two parties in this country, the War Party and the Peace Party. Please be sure about which one you are supporting with your choice of candidate. I submit to you that there is, in fact, a right and wrong (morally speaking) answer to that question. Choose wisely.

Re: Ron Paul still hasn’t left the Republican Party

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Paul is the only one trying to bring the republican party back to its true roots, you can't call that standing with the president (with whom Paul agrees on precisely nothing).

Party politics is ridiculous, and evil. God Bless Ron Paul for fighting the good fight.
