Ron Paul - Best Choice in America

[baddonionsr2]

asshole

[iluvzachy1]

I'm awesome

[nobunnies69XxX]

Oh, Shane. One thing I'd like to say. Some of that money that the Feds have, it's mine anyway from taxes. I would like to say what the fuck they do with that money after collecting it. And if that be embryonic stem cell research, so be it. <3

[Tigers1201]

lol please go ahead and vote for Ron Paul. In fact, any wavering republicans who don't like mccain PLEASE vote Ron Paul. lol

[perhfhjgy]

don't get me wrong, I like Ron Paul, but the only problem I have with him is his thinking about the war.

[perhfhjgy]

why do you like ron paul if he wants to get us out of iraq a.s.a.p.?

because if we do that we will surely be attacked.

[lidoolsakura]

clueless

[kneelio321]

write "research ron paul" and "Paper is not money" on all your paper "money"!

Ron Paul 2008!

[kneelio321]

awesome video man!

love your views, keep on posting!

[FrankMoney]

Not quite sure that i like your response to the amber alert system... but i thank you for responding with good explanations to a hideous man who had nothing better to do than bitch without facts.

[Shanesan]

Another clueless freak who hasn't done his research.

Comp Sci major, Poly Sci minor over here buddy. Are you calling the people with Doctorates over at Google clueless freaks?

[errorspending]

My clueless freak comment was in response to  theSOASstudent in case anyone was confused...

[errorspending]

By your argument you're basically saying that it would be the same to have a one world government as opposed to individual governments for each country... the only thing i have against ron paul is that he voted against gay adoption in DC that was awful...

[errorspending]

you're a clueless freak, Shane you make great points on every one of those issues. I feel the same way about everything you said. To clarify to the idiot who claims it doesn't make a difference if that power is given back to the states, the larger population a government has, the less say you have.

[wensou]

The Hypocrisy of Shanesan is laughable. Your list is supposedly being opposed because the Fed. government should not take your money to do these things. You say that if the states do these things that would be fine. That is a lie. The truth is that if your state wanted to spend your tax dollars to give Rosa Parks a medal or open a slavery museum you would oppose that too. Why hide behind the constitution? Embrace your racism. Be proud of who you are. Ron Paul will have to at some point.

[zerogod420]

NICE!!!

every buddie owned rick

[coldturkeysong]

Sorry, Shane I don't think you fully represented RP's views about 'charity'.

[Shanesan]

I winged this entire video. If I prepped for 5 minutes I would have tackled the issues more solidly. My apologies.

[coldturkeysong]

Ron Paul is too good to be true. But he is true! I would like to see him win over the propagandas and other candadates. I would like to see him as president of America.

[walruslove]

While I'm watching Shane, partial birth abortions are up for banning despite Roe vs. Wade for a very simple reason. There is literally not case in which the mother is in danger when the baby is in the birth canal. If it's gotten that far, chances are it will come out. That's why it's controversial and that's why it should be banned.

[CatsupIslam]

If you want "publicly funded abortion" due it in your own state.

Mother Theressa was a Albanian witch who started a cult of suffering and had taken money from men like Papa Doc. Use money from donations to build extravagant shrines and nunneries not "charity or humanitarianism" .

[dingusmungus]

Ron Paul voted no on "Amber alert act" because of a bill rider called the "rave act". The rave act made night club owners responsible for their patrons actions, treating the owner like the owner of a crack house. The resulting "rave taskforce" killed the club scene here in Arizona, and shut down most small venues that would allow techno music.

[Shanesan]

Thank you for informing me! An informed citizen is a powerful citizen, am I right?

[JazerB8]

Very well-intentioned and spot on on most points. Fairly incoherent on other points like the Medal of Honor. This is our country's highest award for valor and unparalleled heroism in military service, not one for extraordinary civilians. That's what the Nobel Piece Prize is for. Keep it up my friend, you're on the right track!

[Antitheistguy]

Good rebuttal. thank you! Ron Paul '08!

[mercurymist]

Aww.. the sweet sound of wisdom. I knew "Sir" was a wacko. Thanks for making it clear that his points were actually pro Ron Paul rather than against. Go Ron Paul!!!

[helraizr]

RP kicks ass, but your tirade had not much to do with his campaign. You talked about YOUR views not RP's.

[Shanesan]

Just make sure that you know this was a Reply to an uninformed voter. See the reply to link above for information.

[sammarcg]

Great video. Please keep setting the record straight. Encourage people to vote in the primary.

[Born2BearBabies]

He votes against things because the people should not have to pay for things they do not believe in.Let private organizations and people pay for their OWN beliefs.Ron is a Dr. and knows how HUMAN a full term baby is so your partial birth abortion is BS.Ron Paul has black friends and is NOT racist.Go to his MY space page.RP,2008

[tenkochan2]

you are so awesome!! Thanks for being an intelligent American.

[Born2BearBabies]

Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa are no better than american citizens.Why should our tax money go to glorify people.We are all equal so why have race specific exhibits?

[Antitheistguy]

Mother Theresa's "Death Cult" is actually kind of scary! Christopher Hitchens wrote extensivly about what a whack job she actually was!

[lisadseeker]

Good Job!!!

[bargainmom]

Right on, Brother! Keep Speaking Truth to Power! Liberals, DEFECT to the Republicans JUST THIS ONCE and ONLY for Ron Paul! He is for FREEDOM FOR ALL! Gay, straight, white, black, man, woman, child, Ron Paul wants to defend your freedom WAY more than any of those Washington Insiders aka political whores!

[murphycline]

Side non-sequiter per Amber Alert. Most child molestation/abduction cases happen within the family or involve individuals that the kids know personally.

[ZoGoBo]

...<b>and many of those "bills" have attachments and hidden "pork" attached. So a lot of favorable looking bills, other senators attach their pork on them. It takes someone looking at the bills to see that others are attaching their 'pork' on them...that cost lots of money. So if I wanted my million dollar center in my district I would attach it to the favorable looking bills. Ron Paul actually looks at bills and sees that there is a lot of money going to certain projects.

[Born2BearBabies]

Why should TAX payers have to use their money through FORCED taxes to take from our checks and pay for things we don't agree with.That is NOT FREEDOM.RP,2008

[Born2BearBabies]

Ron Pauls doesn't want american jobs outsourced.He has written books and followed great successful economic leaders who knew how to efficiently and effectively run an economy.If we have small businesses where everyone can work,the economy itself will work for the benefit of all.We will not be poor anymore.Charity WILL be bigger than it is now,in turn providing the same things big government provided without controland FORCED contributions.The country will be friendly and more peaceful.RP,2008

[EXSQUIRE]

You're very outspoken and handsome, too. Good job!  The country needs young people like you to fight against big, wasteful government.

[bargainmom]

I think this guy is cute, too! And smart and funny. We need him at the Ron Paul headquarters! PS Thanks for the funny comments on public schools--I rest my case! :)

[mannycp]

next weekend is the Ames straw poll. RON PAUL is asking for your help, PLEASE DONATE. check his website. <b>RON PAUL 2008 com</b>

SAVE AMERICA

[Forlo12345]

Yes, you are a freedom believer!

[akinobjectivist]

WOOOO YEAH! way to go! Everybody spread the word about RON PAUL!

[piratetelecast]

Great job!

[dunnet1974]

Well put Shanesan..

[gin5354]

Briliiant!

[digitalprincess55]

By the way America, WAKE UP! I guess Americans are afraid of the responsibilities that come along with having freedom. The government needs to stop babying us!

[digitalprincess55]

THANK YOU! I'm almost positive the guy you responded to got his little facts off of ronpaulexposed dot com, which, by the way, does not back anything up. Its just a page stating "horrifying" facts about Ron Paul.

I could not believe the other comments you've recieved... it just shows how lazy and ignorant this society has become. Of course it's a parent has responsibility for their child. ARE YOU STUPID!

[hillerm]

Ron Paul isn't against giving out medals. The Congressional Medal of Honor is a military medal, not a civilian medal. This isn't a financial or Constitutional issue at all. You're just as ignorant as the person you responded to.

[gggollyjessica]

time...time, is not valuable to you, sir.

[quixoto]

I'm sorry to say this but you pretty much illustrate everything I hate about liberatarians.

[EssixV]

Hillary clinton is getting alot less support from Americans than Ron Paul 2008! Long Live America,Death to the New World Order!

[atlcowboy2536]

Brief Overview of Congressman Ron Paul's Record:

He has never voted to raise taxes.

He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.

He has never voted to raise congressional pay.

He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.

He voted against regulating the Internet.

He voted against the Iraq war.

He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

[MyPeePeeBurntUrFace]

what ron paul is asking for seems right at first but his opinions worry me. We will have to Compensate for what he wants to get rid of. I'd like to explain more but 500 char isnt enough. Be careful with your vote. Examine your candidates. Ron Paul looks good though.

[ProspectorSam]

His opinions are the reason I bought 200 Ron Paul Revolution yard signs with my own money last week. But then, I've been studying them for a decade, not a few days or weeks. ;-)

[MyPeePeeBurntUrFace]

but doesnt his wanted changes seem too radical and not gradual enough?

[11Jamie11]

Depends on how they're implemented. If everything he's talking about were done in 1 week, that would be quite jarring and I wouldn't support that plan. He's wise, though, and advocates a step by step process following the Constitution to gradually transition back to liberty. That he speaks about the ideals of liberty only means he knows where the goal line is, not that that's his very first week's agenda.

[dragonlancefire]

its may be a problem for him getting elected but other than that no.

[BRKLYNBEN]

the bottom line is that some ppl depend to much on the federal goverment and want them involved in everything that is not a Republic of limited govermant involvement as stated in the constitution

[vanguy82]

"Abolish the department of education, I rest my case" LOL, so true man.

[velation]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was writing down all his crap too lol, but I didn't know how I was gonna squeeze it into a 500 character comment. You pretty much said everything I would have anyway. The problem with this guy is that he's still stuck on the democratic party line and bipartisan politics, as so many Americans are. We need to see that the fed must go down if there's ever to be any measure of progress in America.

[KIDiotequeA]

Oi mate, hope I didnt offend you with my vid...just trying to spread the word...Ron Paul 2008!

[Shadeclan]

Mr. Reality,

I must disagree with you on a few points. The only moral function of government is protecting property rights. It can be argued that children are the property of the parents and that the government has the responsibility of prosecuting those who steal or destroy (kidnap and murder) such property. The question becomes what level of government?

[Shanesan]

The "moral" function of the American version of the federal government is protecting property rights. Down the line, the "States and the People" have the rest of the rights. If the people want the state to have an Amber Alert, then that must be passed by their state and added to their book of laws. People are nobodies property but themselves, including children. Going back on track, that level of the government to return children using such means as the Amber Alert is the states.

[Born2BearBabies]

Right now the children are the property of the government.A child must attend school or the parent goes to jail.This in itself says government owns your children.This is pure bullshit.

[Shadeclan]

Because it needs repeating:

. . . We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain. . .

[libertylover1]

Voting No on the Amber Alert bill had nothing to do with adding an announcement to emergency broadcasting network concerning missing children. Paul voted no because of the Biden rider which was placed in the bill just before the vote. A rider called the Rave act violates civil rights and dampens free speech. But because it was slipped into a popular bill it was ensured passage.

[ReallyRick]

Bravo to YouTube for featuring as their "Editor's Pick" in the News and Politics section a video entitled "Ron Paul is Full of Sh@t!!"

[libertylover1]

Ron Paul would have voted for the if it wasn't for the Joe Biden, rider that was tucked into the Amber Alert bill at the last minute. The Rave act rider, makes small promoters of concerts, parties or bars owners criminal if anyone is caught at their event with illegal drugs. Even if they took reasonable measures to ensure no drugs were present. It is a tool that can be used selectively against organizers of events.

[cowbot2]

Hi Shanesan,

decent responses. You do 'get it'.

Maybe writing out your response first would help you make a more persuasive video. Cheers dude

*** R o n P a u l 2008 !!! ***

[svxdriver]

I think the only people who don't support Ron Paul either can't take care of themselves or are too dumbed down from thier precious department of education. I guess there will always be people who can't think for themselves and can't handle self independance.

[TheEvilDetector]

Its our responsibility as the high IQ section of society to help our lower IQed brothers and sisters overcome their brainwashing, because they cannot help themselves hehehe

[TheEvilDetector]

jokes. its just that whenever i think of that face mask guy, he strikes me as an ignorant sob.

[bbburton]

Your videos are being marginalized by YourTube. The 'category' menu in the videos tab has been deleted and the 'news & politics' selection under the 'category' tab is limited to one page consisting of 15 videos.

[cloakmanor]

"Read the Constitution? Ugh but it's so long. :("

Hopefully the above statement was said in jest.

[cloakmanor]

Unfortunately ReallyRick, as well as many others, fall under a misguided belief. This can be summarized in the quote below:

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all."

----Frederick Bastiat (The Law)

[kurthein]

The Law is a must read book!

[anyusmoon1]

AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN Oh I LOVE you Cloakmanor... who are you Masked(Man)? :0) I love YouTube so much and all you tubers.

[cloakmanor]

The quote from Bastiat is only part of the quote. Here's the rest:

....We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain."

[ProspectorSam]

Definitely a must read. One of the best political books ever, as far as I've seen. Every American (and everyone else!) should read it by voting age. We would have FAR fewer problems!

[ronpaulrevolution]

Exactly!!!

[WishIWasFreeGuy]

Right on! I don't want to be forced to pay for things I don't want to pay for. This is what people are missing when they bash Ron Paul for his views on welfare. I am more likely to donate to a charity run by individuals because they are run more efficiently and it is better than being forced to do "good" by the state. Go Ron Paul!

[climberjde]

ReallyRick: Grow up.

[ReallyRick]

SIR? You are older than me! How dare you call me sir! You do look decent for 40 though IMO. Read the Constitution? Ugh but it's so long. :( What is sad is that you hate children and support kidnappers. It is unfortunate that you also feel you are not intelligent enough to make an informed decision as to who should be your US Senator. I notice you conveniently skipped RIGHT over the gay adoption issue. Hmmm.

PS. Stop being poor.

[aaripper]

"What is sad is that you hate children and support kidnappers."

...What?

[ReallyRick]

He blames parents when their children get kidnapped.  That is very very sad.

[ables1]

Well parents should keep an eye on their kids more so it IS up to the parents

[ReallyRick]

Wow I am amazed. Now Ron Paul supporters encourage and are in favor of KIDNAPPING children to expose bad parents. Tell that to John Walsh or Mark Klass. I am disgusted with you people. DISGUSTED!

[ables1]

It is NOT up to the federal government to watch after your children. It is the parents responsibility. I don't support kidnappings to expose bad children, that's just a cop-out. I just think that parents need to be more watchful with their kids, teach their kids about this stuff, rather than the school. If a state wants to set up a program, sure I'm all for that but it's not up to the federal government to watch after our kids, it's up to the local people to decide.

[Born2BearBabies]

It will all even out under the economy Ron Paul proposes.Only one parent would have to work to put food on the table.The other parent can stay home if they wish and raise the child.RP=freedom from the CFR(he is not a member of but the other candidates are)=NWO=slavery for us all to the elite masters.Ron Paul talks sense,speaks truth, and would benefit us all.RP,2008

[schmykl]

Congrats on being an idiot. I'm sure your parents are proud. If they really are your parents. Holy crap maybe they kidnapped you!

[ables1]

Congrats and not disproving any points at all. As I said before, it is NOT up to the federal government at all. It's up to the state, IMO

[cloakmanor]

No one is suggesting the kidnapping of children. This argument unfortunately appears to be a personal attack as opposed to a logical rebuttal. Please refer to the quote I posted below (listed in two posts due ot its length).

Unfortunately youtube limits posts to 500 characters, making reasoned debate extremely difficult.

[TheEvilDetector]

dont u have a face mask to put on you weasel?

[aaripper]

"Wow I am amazed. Now Ron Paul supporters encourage and are in favor of KIDNAPPING children to expose bad parents."

I'm impressed, Really, Rick... I'm impressed.

No matter how wrong some of Shanesan's comments may have been, you have now blatntly generalized your opinion on Ron Paul supporters based on one man's beliefs.

Tell me, should we create internment camps for all Muslims and Arabs too? I mean, since they ALL Hate us, right?... wait, what? That's a blatant generalization?

[Shanesan]

ReallyRick, I'm as for kidnapping of children as I am the congress giving puppies and ponies to all the little children of the world. Which means I'm not at all for it. The Amber Alert is a great idea in a state-wide level, or a coalition of states, but not forced by the federal government. I'm DISGUSTED at your low level of comprehension and skills with accounting. This all costs money sir!

[ReallyRick]

PS. Stop being poor.

[ables1]

lol dude stop being poor? How about stop being an asshole. do you hate poor people or what? Also did you not know that we have a multi trillion dollor debt? Being poor is not the problem the problem is all the money we owe

[dragonlancefire]

so the message that your supposed to watch your kids all the time, espically when they're young, is bad and that you're responsible for your kids is a bad thing.

[jtd514]

Actually hes saying that hes smart enough to live in a decent state and elect state reps who are going to chose a good senator. ReallyQueer you dont have a clue how this nation was supposed to work. You dont understand freedom because you have never been free.

[ables1]

Also I think that laws like AMBER alert should be up to the state and not the federal government. That's why Ron Paul 2008 because he is for the power of the states and the people

[ables1]

"PS. Stop being poor."

btw that was a real asshole comment you made. And the constitution is too long to read? If you don't even know the constitution then you have no say who we should or should not vote for.
