Ron Paul Republican: Rebuild the Party. Mindy Finn Answers C-SPAN Caller

[robitaille28]

the problem about ron paul is that he's a naive pacifist, our country can't afford such a greenness in foreign policy! We need a republican like Reagan to regain strength!

[emp0rizzle]

the problem isn't with Ron Paul, but with uneducated people like you who don't know the difference between non-interventionism (no military alliances, not intervening in other people's wars, nation building) and pacifism which is the rejection of war no matter what.

[NOMOREWARFORISRAEL]

We can't go broke fighting wars for Israel in the Middle East either. Such is why I voted for Ron Paul as he was/is spot on in the following youtube as well:

The most Ron Paul can hope for in terms of president is maybe his local homeowner's association. Maybe.....that might be stretching things a bit. Ron Paul IS the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican Party (ie. perpetual loser).

[danbowski40]

So I guess your saying we should just keep voting for Marxist Liberals like Obumba and Neocon Hacks like McAmnesty. The American people are the ones that are (perpetually losing).

[pearse76]

If someone stepped up for the Republican Party that was principled on ALL conservative aspects like low taxes, fiscal discipline, following the Constitution, STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE, and support of allies like Israel (those last two, Paul is questionable AT BEST) then why would they be a neo-con? I love how this label is affixed to any mainstream republican now, especially by you Ron Paul worshippers. You all mock Obama supporters and act the exact same toward your messiah.

[mandatum]

When did support for Israel become a litmus test for pricipled conservatisim? Since when did a socialist state manned by vehement anti-christians, communists(Israel) and aetheisits become lynch-pin of the Republican party?

[kuza01]

Obama is owned by the same old money that has been running Washington for years.

1. AIPAC

2. The Federal Reserve

3. Military Industrial Complex

If you payed attention during the 08 debates there were 3 politicians (Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Ron Paul) who spoke out against these institutions. Ironically all were at one point excluded from participating in a debate.

Follow the $.

[harryflocyberman]

Just a note here, who ever calls people ronbots have got it very wrong, Ron Paul supporters are the most independent free thinkers on the face of the earth. the real clone bots are the typical Republican and Democrat unified clone thought process that votes the same old same old into the office of President, I knew about the Fed and other things Paul talks about long before I knew who he was.

[harryflocyberman]

Ron Paul Republicans are the true Republicans.

he will eliminate the IRS, the income tax, stop the war. support non intervention, end the fed. restore the monetary system, promote peace and unity, protect the borders, cut spending significantly, helping all Americans from all walks of life.and create a feeling of true change and hope and return America's honor and greatness. He is the voice sanity and reason in the USA.

[FaaarLeft]

Ron Paul is too reactionary. He would eliminate the FDA, the department of education, and privatize social security. He has never brought up the issues regarding israel and their inhumane policies in the occupied territories either. You can admire the "Truth Bombs" he threw at the republican debate regarding foreign policy, but not much else.

[moronpaul]

You could tell that she was scared about saying ANYTHING bad about Ron Paul. Reason of course is that if she did: The Ronbots would harass the shit out of her.

[Lyndehouse]

Want to appeal to Ron Paul republicans? Protect America not profits of London bankers and a few Zionist fanatics

[malickfan]

The GOP is a lost cause, people. We need an independent or third party Presidential run in 2012.

[Nonoyawns]

So your telling me we are going to structure a totally new nation-wide party, and still have enough money to be able to compete with the two major parties for the presidency (on top of being a brand new party with a smaller base than both the existing parties)?!

[Mikietroop]

We have to turn the tide of intimidation and fear to be able to be free enough to have fairness in our nation about how money rules the game.

Simple.

Down with all these deciving "neocon zionists" and their corporate criminal friends like BushCheney Co.

[espunde]

I doubt at this point that the GOP can be amended. Historically today's party is consistent with the jingoistic imperialistic nationalist sentiments of the party of Lincoln. What Ron Paul is trying to do is to remake the Democratic party of the 19th cent., classically Liberal of course. I wish him good luck, but I think the only way to really change anything is to work at the state and local level, and of course vote for anyone who is pro liberty, but forget trying a top down approach.

[kitadabeagle]

Those that controls the media, controls the minds of most Americans. Until American stops watching Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. they will be continued to be a sheep that follows the herd. Unfortunately, with so many great shows on TV (Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, 24), I doubt that Americans will tune out the TV. I'm already beginning my push for Ron Paul 2012.

[Richardgwm]

Ron Paul is a moron. The Republican party is over. They have joined the Whigs on the ash heap of history.

[jiggakilla666]

You're right, The Constitution is pretty outdated also.

[kitadabeagle]

Give me 5 reasons why you think RP is a moron? I'll give you one reason why I think you're an idiot: Ron Paul is a doctor, which means he went to school and graduated. You on the other hand need to finish high school, go to college, graduate, go to medical school, graduate, then perhaps, you can be on the same intellectual level as Ron Paul. Until then, you are just another dumbass with a GED.

[chewbaca1989]

Yes get the Neocons out of the Party.

[lezlitaz]

the NEOCONs work both partys Baracs team is full of em

[rita21200]

If we Americans dont change our politics soon like vote for someone like Ron Paul(a true American who cares about our interst 1st not Isreals)then we are doomed!We must preserve our forfathers Constitution with Bush has wiped his ass with.God Bless America& save us from the Neocon Zionist!!!

[Ponerology]

I didn't hear her mention anything about Israel.

[MrMP81]

...... The R3volution Continues >:)

[roseagain2]

I wrote in Ron Paul!

[reapstreet54]

Ron Paul is the man. I was never into politics. Only until i heard him he speak did really start caring about politics. He has inspired me to want be somebody. To make a difference he showed me what being a true patriot is about. Thank you Ron Paul

[bazukaboom]

yeah i know what you mean, if he was in power, this world would be a better place and those liars zionists would stop interfering with america as their watchdog for any crime they commit

[FaaarLeft]

Ron Paul is nice but his domestic policies would be a nightmare if he was ever elected.

[overmind25]

Yes. He is for too much statism. Abolish the state.

[bazukaboom]

you clearly like an adventures government, you should come to iraq and see how it suits you

[overmind25]

Umm what are you typing about? lol

[basicaustin]

Do you know what statism is?

I didn't think so.

Think before you type. Then don't type, because you are probably still wrong.

statism: concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government.

[overmind25]

Statism is just the principle of concentrating major political and economic controls in the state.  Besides, the idea of centralization is subjective to the opinion of one's belief about what is local, state/province and what is central. Ron Paul is still for state and local government monopolies as well as a "weak" federal monopoly over people.

[bazukaboom]

i think the amount of minus votes you got says it all, but let me ask you, arent you a bit curious of what the world without a war policy would be like and if america only took care of itself rather than try to police the world and bring hatred to itself from every single coutry

[reapstreet54]

so you believe it's a nightmare to follow the Constitution?

Liberals=Neocons

[overmind25]

It is a nightmare to force your form of statism unto anyone else.

[reapstreet54]

abolishing state government would be a violation of the Constitution

[overmind25]

No, abolish the state local and federal government monopolies. When and others use the word state we are referring to the statism as all forms of forced collectivized government monopolies.

[reapstreet54]

well Ron Paul believes in the private sector and the free market so i don't think he is for state monopolies.

[overmind25]

I am pretty sure he believes in local, state, and federal government law making monopolies over given geographical areas sadly.

[reapstreet54]

i think he believes in local government making their own laws. To me that makes sense. If your in one county and they have laws you don't agree with you can always move, tell your mayor to change the law or you can overthrow that local government. Its way easier to overthrow local government than it is to overthrow state or federal governments.

[overmind25]

Yes but local governments can be more tyrannical since they have a narrower amount of views in most cases than a large Republic. However, you are shifting the blame from the mayor and local government having to justify its rule over someone to the individual that you state should have to move from his home and land that he uses because of the tyranny of a government monopoly.

[reapstreet54]

ok but i not justifying oppression by a mayor or the local government. I even said you should have the right to overthrow them.

[overmind25]

Fair enough but still the mayor and local government should just govern over people who wish to be under and fund their local government.

[reapstreet54]

what would you put in place local and state governments?

[overmind25]

I would not put anything in their place exactly but instead would want an end to monopolistic law making institution(s) over a given geographic areas applying to all humans within it. Instead people should form/fund their own organizations and governments voluntarily. They can be as big or as small as people want them but the sovereignty always lies with the individual who cannot enter or secede when the organization becomes too tyrannical instead of having to vote beg.

[overmind25]

*over given

[overmind25]

* cannot enter or can secede

[reapstreet54]

wtf what your are saying doesn't make any sense "Instead people should form/fund their own organizations and governments voluntarily They can be as big or as small as people want them" So what would be the difference between you form of government and a the form of government we have today what is stopping someone from claiming the entire United States?

[overmind25]

Our government is not voluntary but is ruled by representatives elected by a majority of voters that proclaim to rule over a given geographic area. The autonomy therefore lies with the monopolized lawmakers instead of the individual. Whatever laws they pass are put unto citizens through gunpoint instead of allowing citizens to have their autonomy and form a different organization.

[overmind25]

There is no magic bullet or mystical shield to block against tyranny. There is no guarantee that those within a state will not become even more tyrannical than they already are or that a state will not collapse and a new one will not form. Resistance against authoritarianism is reliant upon actual people, not Constitutions. Anarchism is just a rejection of involuntary statism. It is not really a set system but rather a lack of a forced one onto others.

[overmind25]

If you are looking for solutions to courts, roads etc there are ideas out there but it cannot be guaranteed that one system or another will be adopted by people. Any type of organization or government can form as long as those people that are being governed consented themselves.
