excellent interview! ron paul's been on fire lately!
Ron Paul is one of our last chances for peace.
seriously, who knows where we'll be after another 4 years of new world order elite running the country into the ground...
That was an excellent interview.I like his comments on why he isn't running as a libertarian.
Yeah, great guy! Look at the flick from 2:47 on........his voting record speaks for itself. But hey, he'll legalize pot!
So what is his bitch with Rosa Parks? :wtf:
Have a good one!:s4:

Can't flip a hundy for a damn metal but can spend $400 mill in things that are hidden into other bills. Sure...no problems with Rosa at all. I'm sure he has a dominate handle on the black vote.
Have a good one!:s4:
Before you try and spin this into a race issue. AWARDING GOLD MEDAL TO FORMER PRESIDENT AND MRS. RONALD REAGAN IN RECOGNITION OF SERVICE TO NATIONQuote:

So why not give this lil' ol' lady, that put her ass on the line, a medal for a hundy? Seems there were PLENTY of hundys available for earmarks.Quote:

Because it is against the constitution to use the peoples tax dollars to offer awards. He said he had no problem with donating a hundy of his own money out of his own packet, and in fact he even proposed to the rest to do the same.Quote:

BTW, I loved his example of the Armenian legislation and the trouble it caused. What right does Congress have to condemn actions in foreign countries? For that matter, Congress does not have the right to condemn Rush Limbaugh or Moveon for their remarks.
if the bill is going to pass he is still allowed to allocate funding to his constituents. That same $400 Mil would have been around for someone else to use.Quote:
