The only Manufacturing of any extent worthy of note & flourishing in America are the Corperations who do buisness with the Military & the Pentagon. The U.S. Military is the largest employer outside Walmart sadly. American soldiers for the most part do more good then evil while on foreign soil but that hardly justifies war for the sake of the International Oil Corperations & the cost to U.S. Tax Payers and losses of American lives serving their new Corperate masters. It's a big F mess sadly.
Why would they be here to spread democracy? Do you mean, communism? Does China even HAVE a constitution? I agree that killing and terrorizing and ransacking is bad, but the US is not the same as China or Russia. If China said "We're not going to obey your constitution", that would mean more than if the US told China "We're not going to obey your constitution", because they probably don't even have one. And are you seriously for Ron Paul? He's a gay basher! He's more than that, too.
@EliasJordan3 I focused on China because I don't know much about Russia. Most people probably don't know much about Russia because American media doesn't mention them except in really big things, or things that coincide with American things, like the protesters right now. ...I can recognize their national anthem, though. That's probably exceptional for an American.
@DCUPtoejuice When the telecommunications companies take over the internet, they will regulate it and block some sites but only allow you to go to the sites they want you to go.
@biguy617 the telecommunications companies will not take over the internet unless you first give power to the government to "protect us" and then watch the companies write their own laws to eliminate the small amount of competition we have now and create monopolies. Much better to keep it a free market and break up monopolies instead of protecting them with pro-big corporation laws and stifle innovation.
I like the analogy this video makes, but it paints with a pretty broad brush when it uses language that equates all instances of "US troops on foreign soil" with each other, as if the bases in Europe, East Asia, and Iraq and Afghanistan were all equivalent. This kind of aiming at gut reactions in politics at the expense of specificity I feel is part of the problem.
But I guess being an "overly intellectual" statesman has recently been shown to be a fault in American politics.
unfortunately, if we pull all of our forces out of Iraq, and Afganistan, it will not only empower the Taliban, it will ruin our pride as Americans and show that we actually went into another Vietnam... Because of this, terrorist bombings would skyrocket, hundreds even thousands would die, and our government would be left scratching its head wondering where they would strike next... were fighting for a reason...
I hate americans more than binladen did!! glad you are getting out of japan soon!! no one needs you you retarded musdering fat pigs!! I will never forget what you have done and will teach my kid to hate you even more than I do!! die america its too late the world hates you!!!!
The video is a little over the top. Its also full of lies, and I am against the war in Iraq, and have been from day one. Im not willing to vote for Ron Paul just because he "will bring troops home". All he wants to do is start a war in the US. He would let the Russian government stay on our soil if they gave us enough cash. You cant have a leader who hates the idea of what America is. When presidents start being loyal to corporations instead of the government you have the fall of the US.
@jasamdomo Not because i dont agree with him, he is a tool for using circular logic and deliberately or out of ignorance omitting key pieces of information and representing the muslims as a group of people who are being unjustly oppressed. Any historical account that hasnt been tampered by muslims or liberals will show you that they have waged 1400 years of continuous warfare against any "other" group, killing hundreds of millions. Go ask the renaissance era hindus what they thought of muslims.
@Cefuroxx I'd imagine they could find a lot in common really, whats with the nonsequitur? Josif Stalin enforced famine on them and wiped them as a social class entirely sure, fail to see how that adds up against jews when they werent being treated with exactly silk gloves in the USSR either.
@EvitoCruor "An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system."
@nobby481 Btw; no, heart is not better than facts. Heart is easily manipulated; facts, not so easy.
Again, just because YOU know one thing does not mean he's only worked on ONE thing- so your assessment is incorrect. I've paid attention to Paul for almost thirty years. He has stood FIRM on all his supporters want, not just ONE issue.
@nobby481 You;re still not making sense. Ron Paul has a lot more than "one hit". He has done what he's said he would do- or he has tried (and the rest of Congress is paid-for by the usual machine, so prevented him doing much). He follows through on his promises.
You may know only one part of his platform, but that does not mean he only has "one hit". You are simply spewing the same crap as the media- the same folk as those who've bought the rest of Congress.
NeoLibertarians like Paul may talk a pretty game, but when they get any reigns of power or when push comes to shove, they'll easily let go of everything else they claim to believe in for the sake of their cherished "Laize Faire" economic corporate anarchism. This leads to despotism by giving free pass to the tyranny of the most ruthless.
@bobpeters61 You ought to realize that "corporate" and "anarchism" are incompatible. Corporations are established through lobbying of the state and through state charter for favoritism and limited liability in the state-run monopoly legal system.
It's cute that people like you still buy into the myth that government and corporations are in opposition to one another when it's corporations that lobby for and write the regulations that anti-market populists agitate for.
@Floridanon407 Thank you for stating my own argument from the opposite side of the issue.
The government that fails to govern the corporate sector will itself be governed by the corporate sector. You admit that corporate lobbyists are being allowed to write any regulation of their clients, but that is the problem. It takes representatives of the people writing those regulations and keeping corporate power in check to reverse this corporate overthrow of the United States Government.
The "free market" is a myth as a completely unregulated market will quickly be manipulated by the most powerful players, thereby enslaving the market to the very corporations it's being relied upon to keep in check.
@bobpeters61 Your interpretation is the myth. Maybe the market will be dominated by a few powerful players. So what? If the people want an alternative then the free market will provide it.
@nobby481 Actually, no. I don't bother peeping at others channels- I don't have time for that crap. I said that because you sound like someone who doesn't bother to listen to Ron Paul, but has plenty to say. It's like Cain, who says things, but has zero FACTS to back it up.
Like you- where do you even get "one hit wonder" from, in regard to Paul? You still have brought NOTHING forth that could be construed as FACT. You sound stupid.., like Cain, no matter your color!
I don't like Ron Paul because he believes in Privatizing EVERYTHING. That's REALLY gone so well for communities in this country. He wants no public ANYTHING - roads, parks, beaches, etc...
Not only that, but he's a Creatard, Austrian school idiot. Talk about bad economic & social policy.
I cannot take anyone seriously that uses words like 'creatard'. Creationists have the same 50/50 shot of being right atheists do. More, actually, if you believe string theory.
@theatomicskull999999 Actually if you believe in string theory/multiverse they are less likely to be correct. Not all those universes are suitable for life, let along have the "fine tuning" that this one has.
here in the UK, coverage of the GOP race seldom mentions Ron Paul as a contender. they base this on his lack of funding, as compared to his rivals. over here, the de facto assumption is that the candidate with the most money behind him/her will win the nomination, regardless of the platform being espoused.
The fancy text graphics detract from the seriousness of the message.
Also, most Americans won't get it, since they'll just think "China evil, America good, therefore us occupy others isn't like others occupying us".
Most Americans subscribe to the "virtue ethics" approach to morals, where-by morals are judged by the agents involved, and not at all by the act itself or its consequences. So US=good, therefore anything it does must be good.
Ron Paul has a long anti-choice record from his years in Congress. He has repeatedly voted to make it more difficult for women to access abortion and birth control.
If you are pro-choice, Ron Paul is NOT your friend!
Ron Paul wants to abolish the EPA and deregulate. Do you trust corporations to look after your best interest?? Would corporations spend money to reduce air pollution if there was no EPA or regulations?? No way, corporations are only concerned with short term profits.
@nobby481 One hit wonder? Where did you get that? -how do you think that term even APPLIES to him? It makes zero sense! it's obvious you;re one of those Herman Cain *or other idiot also-rans" supporters, who doesn't know WHY he is voting for someone, but the tee-vee made him sound "cool". You just keep voting for who they tell you to vote for- that's WHY we are in this situation in the first place!
Yeesh- research something, like what Paul stands for- the PEOPLE.
@biguy617 Why do we need tax increases? Don't you see that D/C WILL always spend more than what the increases would cover? You're looking at it the wrong way. We need to cut spending, and the only person running for POTUS that's really willing to do that IS>>
@annebeck58 Tax cuts have never created jobs. A tax cut for the middle class maybe helpful. But the rich will kee tax cuts for themselves and make themselves richer. They will not use it to help the rest of us. Ron Paul is for a mild private sector government. That is still fascism. Mild fascism. That is not better than Obama. Obama maybe fascist but so is Ron Paul. We need a president like FDR. And are you screaming let the uninsured die. Because I heard you guys at the debate.
@biguy617 thank you. there's this assumption that if you cut taxes to wealthy folks, they will selflessly use that money to create jobs instead of pocketing the cash. if they do invest in their business, they will open up shop in india. it's a lose-lose for an economy. "trickle down" is nothing more than wishful thinking and assumption
@biguy617 Yes I realize that. I'm not saying tax-cuts or tax increases would work, though. What would help, and maybe start to turn this around is this: STOP spending monies for wars we should not be a part of. Stop spending federal money for entitlements.
I don't scream to let ANYONE die, other than myself, if it comes to that. Yes, I have insurance. I am self-employed, and have had same insurance (which I pay for) for ~23 years. I am responsible for ME.
We already have foreign troops in America, they're called SWAT/ BATF. The only thing is, American's haven't started fighting back against this foreign enemy as of yet. Let's avoid CIVIL WAR from happening by electing RON PAUL as PRESIDENT. Ron Paul will end the "Soviet Police State" & restore FREEDOM to America.
Ron Paul for President 2012! Ron Paul is our last chance, "We the People", to redress our grievances against the tyranny that has grown up around us in America today. Ron Paul or bust!
@jawj4291 Have you ever spent any time looking up his record vs. what platform(s) he ran on? The man votes the way he promised to vote. At least he tries (like these many wars stopped)- he listens to HIS contituency. In Congress, he hasn't been able to do as much as he would, were he president. At least, then, he would have veto-powers. And, hell- the way Obama, Bushes, even Clinton abused pres.powers, if he could do same (and reverse what they've done), I'm for it- not that he would.
@jawj4291 btw; there IS such a thing as an honest politician. My father held different (city) offices, and he donated ALL of his salaries back to the city, to help with our debt. He also was a dreamer, like Paul, which is why i am going to talk with him (moreso) about voting IN the Rep primary-- for PAUL. Who's better than Ron Paul?
@annebeck58 That is city. The difference is The big corperations don't realy target city they target Federal and state. It is not that they do not exist compleatly just the ones that make it in to office either get assasonated or impeached if they do not get corupted. Get a presodent who is truly for the people and they will be corupted, impeached or assasonated. Look at clinton. He had us out of debt and had our trups home. Than got impeached over his sex life. Where isa the justice in that?
@jawj4291 Yes, I agree with that. However, when it comes to Ron Paul, he is an idealist. He has been in D.C. for a long time, ,and he's always done same as he promised when running. Even when the Texas Govt tried to get him OUT of office (by redistricting), he still won, and it's because he has been true to Texans. I've been watching Paul for a lot of years, almost as long as I've lived in Texas, and he's an honest man. Will he end up dead if elected? Could be, & I think he knows that.
@jawj4291 Of all of those running, I think perhaps Paul would be the ONE we wouldn't have to worry about that, in regard to. Some may find him cute, but he's surely not one of those plastic puppets, like Romney and Puh-Rick Perry.., and Obama, too. He's so NOT them, I cannot think of voting for anyone else!
@annebeck58 Don't get me wrong Ron is about giving the popwer back to the poeople like it should be in the first place. This however will never happen. We will have to take back the power.
@jawj4291 Here's the thing, though; Paul is NOT bought and paid for, like most of the state-level and Nat'l level politicians. and a few city's heads, too (NYC, LA, anywhere else it benefits "them"). I don't think he's able to be bought. and that makes him a LOT different from the rest.
Anyone willing to stop funding wars (ours AND others, including that of IsraHell) is whom I'm voting for!
I truly don't think they can corrupt him with cash, nor impeach him for personal actions.
@annebeck58 un fortionatly that would mean tha the would be assasonated. The corperations will not let the people have the controle that the corperations have baught. It is sad but true. For a countery by the people, of the people, and for the people we the people are truley tetting the shaft.We realy need to put a stop to it. If onlyt enough people would reolize this we might stand chance.
@jawj4291 However, if they were to take him out, it would be AFTER he spent some time in office (if they tried, I am saying) and, hopefully, corporations would NO LONGER qualify as "people"-- thank you, Obama, you idiot! So, let's say he takes that power from them, they have a go at him, I agree with TempeWitness (below here), it would only serve to piss-off the people GREATLY. Imagine what that would do to this horrific governmental corporation, should that happen.
@annebeck58 agreed. The only way the could stop him if he were President would be by killing him, and quite frankly I doubt that they would succeed in taking his life. If they did, his death would rally the people so greatly that the elite would have no chance of survival.
Ron Paul has a decent foreign policy in respect to cutting military and ending the wars. However, it's naive... and even though he believes he is the enlightenment ( The constitution is an enlightenment era product) thinkers continuation, he continues to ignore many of their principles.
@queerchs Listen; I don't agree with everything Ron Paul stands for, but, do I want more of the disgusting SAME 2-partiers, belonging to Israel, continuing wars, destroying US and our economy? NO. It is why I am voting for Ron Paul. He may sound naive to you, but the man DOES have plenty of Washington EXPERIENCE-- and he know what can and cannot be done.
I want these wars over- I believe he IS the man to finally do it!
Ron Paul Is a sensible honest man of peace. He has a great chance of becoming a popular president in America. He would cease american military escapades abroad and put America back on top where it belongs.
Ron Paul would do all these things.....and that's why he will be assasinated.
I've noticed, lately, on every Ron Paul video, we have these dopes stopping by to say things like this: "I like him and I agree with everything, but I'm gonna vote fer someone else"/
@annebeck58 It just goes to show how entrenched the enemy is in the public's conscious and subconscious mind. "I agree with everything he says, does and stands for, but i wouldn't support him as President. Furthermore, I am freezing my ass off but I refuse to put a jacket on because my television is telling me its hot outside." Absolute insanity!
@MudHut67 Know what? I don't agree with everything, either, but the basics (fed problems, wars, too much govt), I do agree. And, I want it over.
So, if he wants abortion and marriage to be state issues, rather than nat'l? I am GOOD with that! It's part of the reason I'm voting for him, but first (above) is most of it.
@annebeck58 The reason why people know Ron Paul is great, is because they know he won't get elected. He does not blindly follow the Zionist-Ideologies of mainstream America and is against the current bankers. This is why Fox deleted the poll which showed him winning.
@NewTeutonicOrder2 You are correct that the ME-dia does not want to even discuss him. They don't want people (those who really don't pay attention) to have HIS name on their minds when they go to vote. Amazing, but a lot of idiots vote for the easily-remembered name- cuckoo! Tee-Vee, along with those who own them (ziopigs) do run our elections.
It's the entire rationale behind blacking-out the Ron Paul message; SAME since he first ran for Rep of TX. Still, I'll vote PAUL!
@NewTeutonicOrder2 Oh, and speaking of TX, my home-state, they tried to re-district certain folk out of representation. Still, Ron Paul ran and won. I love it when Paul wins ANY of these (silly) polls, because then the media HAS to talk about him.
Bill Orielley HAD to discuss him when whining about how Paul's people (me, and another 100,000) flooded HIS poll, on his site, so he "had to throw the results out", because PAUL WON (about 38%, I believe).
@MudHut67 He is a Christian who believes that everyone has a right to practice their own religious beliefs, and believes that atheists have a right not to believe or practice. What exactly is your problem with his "religious views"?
Saw a video of his containing his views on abortion, can't support a man like that. If anyone has such a view I find it hard to believe that they will keep church and state seperate.
@MudHut67 He believes abortion, like gay marriage should be a matter for the states. Again, it amazes me that a topic such as abortion or gay marriage can trump topics such as foreign policy and economic policies, especially in the state our country and the world is in. For insight on his views on abortion
@TEMPEWITNESS I completely agree with you, again. Ron Paul may have certain ideas, personally (religiously), but he does NOT allow these ideas or ideologies to change his mind about following the constitution of OUR country. It's the main reason I like him so much.
And, this time, unlike in 08, I WILL vote for him, whether he "can win" or cannot win. We need to lose the mindset that we ONLY back winners. We MAKE winners!
@annebeck58 Well Said. Ron Paul or nothing as far as I'm concerned. I have real doubts that the republican party will offer him the nomination, despite what the voters say, unless he agrees to take some tool as his running mate. I Really hope he doesn't make that compromise and if he doesn't get the nomination, I hope he makes the decision to run as an independent or libertarian. He's decided that he will not seek reelection in the house of representatives so its the 2012 presidency or nothing.
@MudHut67 Separation of church and state was never intended or worded to mean that members of state couldn't have religion or practice their religious beliefs while being a member of state at state functions and in state buildings. It was to ensure that the church does not get to write laws, collect taxes and dictate social policies and judgments. Outlawing someone praying at school, or displaying the 10 commandments in a federal building is unconstitutional and that is what he opposes.
Endorsement of religion is against your constitution too, is it not? So having prayed in state funded schools, having the 10 commandments in a federal building and having national days of prayer are all unconstitutional. Just because you don't endorse one religion of another or lack there of does not mean you are oppressing it, it means you are not oppressing everyone else with your beliefs. The forefathers would have strokes if they say America today.
@MudHut67 "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Does not mean that national days of prayer, praying in school or displaying religious symbolism and text is not allowed. It means that no1 can be forced to pray, or agree with said religious views. It means that a religious institution is forbidden from having governmental powers or being the official religion of the country and that people have the right to practice or not.
Well, then on a purely sentimental basis, in terms of principle it is wrong for the government to endorse a religion, and it becomes socially unacceptable not to pray in schools to the point that people get discriminated and segregated on the basis of their belief which itself is goes against the constitution.
@TEMPEWITNESS It's easy to not like him when he says people that don't or can't buy overpriced health insurance should die, just like his 2008 campaign chairman. He solicited millions into RP's campaign, but didn't buy himself insurance. He died that year and the companies charged his mother with the insane ammount $400,000 for treatment that didn't help him. As you should expect Mr. Paul didn't give her any help with that, because he believes in "personal liberty" and "personal responsibility".
@coladict That is not true. You are putting words into his mouth as are others. I wish there weren't a comment limit so this could be explained to you in detail, but to sum it up...Paul believes in personal responsibility. He believe that a person shouldn't be forced to give charity, and in fact calls forced charity theft. He also recognizes that the high cost of healthcare is a direct result of government being in bed with the medical industry. He has never said that the poor sick should die.
@TEMPEWITNESS He didn't use those exact words, but that is the belief he has expressed. You just have to see his reaction to when that hypothetical was asked of him in a recent debate.
I also recall hearing from him during the 2009 healthcare discussions arguments to that position.
Also your healthcare costs are up not because of government regulation, but precisely the lack of it.
@coladict Well I don't agree that that is the belief he has expressed and really dont understand how someone could come to that conclusion. I didn't mention regulation, I said that the Government was in bed with the Medical industry. This is way to big of a conversation to have in the comments section, and quite frankly, I'm really not to concerned with convincing someone who doesn't even live in my country, so I will end it here. If you want to discuss it further, please use the email function.
@coladict What he SAID about medical care is this: We need to STOP paying so much to the insurance companies, and we need to make medical care more like it used to be, so that DOCTORS are not paying so much for Med-Mal, in order for them to charge LESS. He's also said that poor should be charged LESS, rather than MORE (as has been for a couple of decades). It's not poor, in general, who are paying those larger sums. It's everyone who pays taxes, and ER's charge out MC more than PRIVATE PAY
@MudHut67 Sorry, but what? You agree, 100%, no other also-ran is talking about this, at ALL, yet you will vote for one of them? Why, because the one you're voting for is prettier?
Please try to make sense next time....I can't vote for any of them anyway, I am not American. I can agree with one of his political views, but that doesn't mean I like his others. And I don't watch TV bud, why do you think I do? and even if I were American, who says I would vote for any of 'them'?
@MudHut67 Well, then; shut the hell up. You obviously do not know what you're talking about, you're not even American, so why are you bothering people, here? And, why are you putting down Paul, when it matters not to you? HE does NOT let his religion play into his politics- this I KNOW.., as a Texan and as an American. Why do you think he wins every state election he's run in? Texas is not THAT religious!
Sadly America has a huge impact on the rest of us, and I like many others wish that to become more of a positive one than it is now. And please, don't get so emotional on the internet.
The "nut job" garbage is just a rehash of people watching the media instead of reading about the candidate and knowing his views, not the media's view and what they want you to think...
They had better wake the hell up before this crap is in their OWN laps (seems to usually be very young voters who don't get Ron Paul's message, while mid-twenties and up DO hear and appreciate it).
Imagine roving armed thugs roaming many of our large cities. These gangs of thugs are involved in drug trafficing, extortion, pimping, illegal alien trafficing, etc. only you dont have to imagine it, as it is REAL.
@annebeck58 yeh fox is great cos i get to see loads of idiots but what has that got to do with ron paul i mean he has some great ideas but also some real whacko ones
@richmeister4eva What has your love of Fox newz have to do with your bias against Ron Paul? Are you that unaware of what's being done to your brain? You don't think Fox ignores or pokes fun at Paul just because it's FUN to them, do you? No, it's so you can come to video-comment-pages, like this, and spew their lunacy.
I pegged you as a Fox Newzie, immediately, didn't i? WHY do you think that was?
@annebeck58 i don't watch fox for informative news noob i watch it for the lulz i want to see how they can twist the truth yet again. my dislike of Ron Paul does not affect my cognitive abilities
while i agree that we should not have troops in any other countries ... we have to realize what might happen to the vulnerable countries that rely on the us for protection from occupation or annihilation.. still not convinced about ron paul either :?/
@araya1 Well, then, don't bitch for the next four years, when you're stuck with the plastic-puppets, Obama, Romney, or Perry.
Being in Austin, I'd like to get Perry the hell out of here, but I don't think I want THAT IDIOT in D.C., either. In fact, I am SURE I don't want him or Romney in D.C... Obama, neither!
If only he was pro choice.

Because of this, terrorist bombings would skyrocket, hundreds even thousands would die, and our government would be left scratching its head wondering where they would strike next... were fighting for a reason...

The video is a little over the top. Its also full of lies, and I am against the war in Iraq, and have been from day one. Im not willing to vote for Ron Paul just because he "will bring troops home". All he wants to do is start a war in the US. He would let the Russian government stay on our soil if they gave us enough cash. You cant have a leader who hates the idea of what America is. When presidents start being loyal to corporations instead of the government you have the fall of the US.

@Floridanon407 Thank you for stating my own argument from the opposite side of the issue.
The government that fails to govern the corporate sector will itself be governed by the corporate sector. You admit that corporate lobbyists are being allowed to write any regulation of their clients, but that is the problem. It takes representatives of the people writing those regulations and keeping corporate power in check to reverse this corporate overthrow of the United States Government.

@MudHut67 Separation of church and state was never intended or worded to mean that members of state couldn't have religion or practice their religious beliefs while being a member of state at state functions and in state buildings.

Outlawing someone praying at school, or displaying the 10 commandments in a federal building is unconstitutional and that is what he opposes.

@TEMPEWITNESS
Endorsement of religion is against your constitution too, is it not? So having prayed in state funded schools, having the 10 commandments in a federal building and having national days of prayer are all unconstitutional. Just because you don't endorse one religion of another or lack there of does not mean you are oppressing it, it means you are not oppressing everyone else with your beliefs. The forefathers would have strokes if they say America today.
MudHut67 4 months ago
@MudHut67 "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Does not mean that national days of prayer, praying in school or displaying religious symbolism and text is not allowed. It means that no1 can be forced to pray, or agree with said religious views. It means that a religious institution is forbidden from having governmental powers or being the official religion of the country and that people have the right to practice or not.

Well, then on a purely sentimental basis, in terms of principle it is wrong for the government to endorse a religion, and it becomes socially unacceptable not to pray in schools to the point that people get discriminated and segregated on the basis of their belief which itself is goes against the constitution.

@TEMPEWITNESS It's easy to not like him when he says people that don't or can't buy overpriced health insurance should die, just like his 2008 campaign chairman. He solicited millions into RP's campaign, but didn't buy himself insurance. He died that year and the companies charged his mother with the insane ammount $400,000 for treatment that didn't help him. As you should expect Mr. Paul didn't give her any help with that, because he believes in "personal liberty" and "personal responsibility".

@coladict That is not true. You are putting words into his mouth as are others. I wish there weren't a comment limit so this could be explained to you in detail, but to sum it up...Paul believes in personal responsibility. He believe that a person shouldn't be forced to give charity, and in fact calls forced charity theft. He also recognizes that the high cost of healthcare is a direct result of government being in bed with the medical industry. He has never said that the poor sick should die.

If you want to discuss it further, please use the email function.

@coladict What he SAID about medical care is this: We need to STOP paying so much to the insurance companies, and we need to make medical care more like it used to be, so that DOCTORS are not paying so much for Med-Mal, in order for them to charge LESS. He's also said that poor should be charged LESS, rather than MORE (as has been for a couple of decades). It's not poor, in general, who are paying those larger sums. It's everyone who pays taxes, and ER's charge out MC more than PRIVATE PAY

@coladict HE NEVER SAID THAT/
How I wish people who think they have something to say would FINALLY look it up- and stop LYING.
Gahh.. this stuff just irritates the hell out of me. EDUCATE YOURSELF!

@MudHut67 Sorry, but what? You agree, 100%, no other also-ran is talking about this, at ALL, yet you will vote for one of them? Why, because the one you're voting for is prettier?
Wow. STOP watching so much TEE_VEE!

Please try to make sense next time....I can't vote for any of them anyway, I am not American. I can agree with one of his political views, but that doesn't mean I like his others. And I don't watch TV bud, why do you think I do? and even if I were American, who says I would vote for any of 'them'?

@MudHut67 Well, then; shut the hell up. You obviously do not know what you're talking about, you're not even American, so why are you bothering people, here? And, why are you putting down Paul, when it matters not to you? HE does NOT let his religion play into his politics- this I KNOW.., as a Texan and as an American. Why do you think he wins every state election he's run in? Texas is not THAT religious!

Sadly America has a huge impact on the rest of us, and I like many others wish that to become more of a positive one than it is now. And please, don't get so emotional on the internet.

@MudHut67 Well, okey-dokey, Pokey.. You think I am emotional? No, darling; I was laughing, mainly.. rolling my eyes, too, but emotional? Not so much.
Come back with facts, and I won't laugh at you, okay?

The "nut job" garbage is just a rehash of people watching the media instead of reading about the candidate and knowing his views, not the media's view and what they want you to think...

They had better wake the hell up before this crap is in their OWN laps (seems to usually be very young voters who don't get Ron Paul's message, while mid-twenties and up DO hear and appreciate it).

@annebeck58 yeh fox is great cos i get to see loads of idiots but what has that got to do with ron paul i mean he has some great ideas but also some real whacko ones
richmeister4eva 4 months ago
@richmeister4eva What has your love of Fox newz have to do with your bias against Ron Paul? Are you that unaware of what's being done to your brain? You don't think Fox ignores or pokes fun at Paul just because it's FUN to them, do you? No, it's so you can come to video-comment-pages, like this, and spew their lunacy.
I pegged you as a Fox Newzie, immediately, didn't i? WHY do you think that was?
wow.

while i agree that we should not have troops in any other countries ... we have to realize what might happen to the vulnerable countries that rely on the us for protection from occupation or annihilation.. still not convinced about ron paul either :?/

@araya1 Well, then, don't bitch for the next four years, when you're stuck with the plastic-puppets, Obama, Romney, or Perry.
Being in Austin, I'd like to get Perry the hell out of here, but I don't think I want THAT IDIOT in D.C., either. In fact, I am SURE I don't want him or Romney in D.C... Obama, neither!
