Ron Paul on the Ed Show MSNBC

[aca319ca]

hi ed hows that health care working out now

[JOHNBRANSKI100]

ED LOVES TO SWALLOW KENYAN COOZE.

[clintton888888]

ron paul , my hero!!!

[ogchris100]

I just found [Emanuel] good to deal with. ... We formed a relationship that allows us to just pick up the phone, Graham said.

Graham also represents a more centrist voice when it comes to climate change, another topic of his chats with Emanuel.

[ogchris100]

Emanuel says the cultural chasm between the two men isnt much of an obstacle, though he sometimes needles Graham about it, saying, Senator, a doughnut is not a bagel, even though they both look the same.

[ogchris100]

I just like Lindsey. I just like him, but it doesnt blind me to our differences, Emanuel said in an interview with POLITICO. What I knew about him and read about him is only half the story. Hes just a very honorable person to work with. Hes easygoing, but clear-eyed about his objectives. Even when you disagree, he doesnt make it personal.

[ogchris100]

There are differences between Chicago and South Carolina, but you know there are some similarities, too. Hes pretty good at throwing elbows, Graham said of Emanuel. I think hes smart. ... Everything hes ever told me about what the administration would do, they did. When he tells me something about where the president stands, Ive found it to be solid and accurate. cont....

[ogchris100]

How that Lindsay Graham? Seems today a story came out of chicago nbc and politico that Rahm Emmanuel and Lindsay Grahams are real good buddies. Who is attacking the republican party.

[CarroBarrato]

One day when they look at the origins of the "Tea Party", Ron Paul's name will surface as the start of a movement.

[pdaniels9000]

Ron Paul is smart but he's still a crazy conservative.

[Chslosers]

Nah , hes not crazy, just fed up.. literally.

[pdaniels9000]

yea...with civil rights.

[Chslosers]

Which civil rights?

[pdaniels9000]

you know, the ones spelled out in the civil rights act of 1964.

[Chslosers]

Just because Paul supports individual state's rights rather than one federal mandate just reaffirms his claim as a Constitutionalist so..

You can easily go look up his statement/transcript on the that bill.

[Chslosers]

I rise to explain my objection to H.Res. 676. I certainly join my colleagues in urging Americans to celebrate the progress this country has made in race relations. However, contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty.

[pdaniels9000]

really? so it's long live Jim Crow for you huh?

[Chslosers]

Stop with your silly response as if I'm racist. You are the racist celebrating diversity.

# Voted NO on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman. (Jul 2006)

# Voted NO on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)

# Voted NO on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)

# Voted YES on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance. (Sep 2004)

# Voted NO on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration. (Jun 2003)

[Chslosers]

and then read the conclusion. Paul has voted against the most civil rights infringements than any other Congressman. Break down each vote and take a look how much you don't realize he has voted for as well regarding science and research, expansion of business.

[pdaniels9000]

what civil rights infringements has he voted against (name some)? and i can't tell what you're trying to say about science, research, and expansion of business. could you clarify that?

[Chslosers]

# Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)

# Voted YES on ending preferential treatment by race in college admissions. (May 1998)

# Require "Privacy Impact Statement" on new federal rules. (Apr 2002)

# Rated 67% by the ACLU, indicating a mixed civil rights voting record. (Dec 2002)

# Rated 38% by the HRC, indicating a mixed record on gay rights. (Dec 2006)

# Rated 39% by NAACP, indicating a mixed record on affirmative-action. (Dec 2006)

[pdaniels9000]

first of all, how is banning gay adoptions equivalent to promoting civil rights?!?!?!?! and secondly, while ron paul is a supporter of regulating government activity (i commend him for that), he completely side steps the issues of regulating destructive human behavior and promoting fairness.

for christ sake, he doesn't believe in having ANY form of campaign finance reform!!!

[Chslosers]

Look up every single vote , he is what he claims , a strict Constitutionalist , you want to attack him for being what he is, not for his policies.

[pdaniels9000]

yes, being a "strict" Constitutionalist is, quite frankly, ridiculous in my mind.

[calimar28]

Who cares? We are sick of hearing about the NAACP...nobody cares.

[pdaniels9000]

ron paul is a fucking nutjob.

[pdaniels9000]

all i know is that a man who doesn't believe in civil rights shouldn't have been running for president.

[sakonhagakure]

If he told his supporters to use proper decorum and not to shout down people he needs to do it in a louder voice or in a venue in which people will hear him because I haven't heard it.

[aplatt65]

He's not stupid this Ed guy, but I really do wonder if he is aware of the nauseating douchebag aura that he constantly emanates.

[louis12346]

See Video>

MTV's Aimee Allen, Ron Paul Anthem Music Video MUST SEE!!

[CommanderUTube]

If there is no God, he would need to be invented.

Political power will have to grow out of the barrel of a gun if God is left out of the equation.

The founding fathers had God as the corner stone of the Constitution for the very good reason the only other Reason to justify things would be "Might is Right".

Democracy is about manifesting the Sovereignty of the People. But People Power is not self justifying. Without quoting God, at the end of the day, you hold your ground by sound of gunfire.

[YuckoTheTroll]

ron paul is a douche, he just wants to scare us.......FUCKIGN PROPAGANDA FUCK RON PAUL, ALL HEIL BILL OREILLY!!!

[burgersnsoap]

HEIL BILL'O!

[rh7onda7]

simply put Ed has no manners

[silentpurr]

Lisson up Republicans! Ya gots to dance with the ones that brung ya!

[drh43]

Hameld: Both major parties have shifted their policies to the left of the political spectrum. Essentially what you're saying is that this LEFTWARD shift in political views is making America unhappy.

It thus stands to reason that politicians should shift back to the RIGHT in order to satisfy American citizens. Conservatives in the U.S. are the representatives of the RIGHT; therefore America would be satisfied with more Conservatives.

[JULEZJAZZ]

Where are your facts to back that up?

[drh43]

Read the platforms 2008 platforms of both parties. Look at the numbers of politicians who supported intervention in the markets. Look at how both sides are attempting to regulate the personal lives of the citizenry.

[JULEZJAZZ]

What are you talking about platforms? All you have to do is look at what was done while the Neo Cons were in control. Give me facts. You can't that is why you haven't.

[zaurakdigis]

Ron Paul is a fringe character, his libertarian tenets are incapable of growing either party. At most they will take away a few votes from Republicans like the green party takes a few votes from the Democrats. The only thing we need is to rid Washington of special interests and the lobbyists. For Health Reform we simply need to stop subsidizing the Health Care of our Senators and Congressmen. They live in a fantasy land of $70/Month Insurance Premiums that would cost over well $1,000/Month.

[hameld]

That's exactly the point. Neither party is making Americans happy at the moment and he's offering an alternative that not only seems favorable, some would say it's perfect.

Conservatives are trying to paint themselves as Republicans and they're NOT. We know who you are and we don't want NEO-Conservatives in OUR PARTY. Liberals are ruled by Gov, Conservatives ruled by god. Both are extremists with agendas, very VERY dangerous. We WILL push the Conservatives OUT. OUST the CONSERVATIVES!!!!!

[skyliquid2003]

Still the man

[codeman1979]

lindsay graham is a tool and a neocon. Liberty small goverment and freedom is all that matters and i dont care if your a democrat or a republican.

[spliffsperlunk]

It doesnt matter what party Ron Paul belongs to all that matter s is that HE IS A TRULY HONEST PERSON, and thats the kind of person we need to run this country in a time where corrupt politicians area a dime a dozen.

[siasina]

Ron Paul is a true patriot, a true hero! He's my President.

[bundlesjr]

I will laugh as dumb conservatives spilt their own vote with a guy thats been losing for years. Shows who the real sheeps are.

[merrimac291]

Ron Paul loves this fight and he can only benefit from it.

[lenny380]

Ron Paul should be President - too bad. Instead we get a nice hope and change - hold on while I throw up.

[merrimac291]

Instead of hope and change we get to hope for change by begging for it on the side of the street.

[lenny380]

Yes and the Government is actually acting like things are great - are you kidding? These people see the Republicans becoming turncoats.

[oldtownkid]

Ron Paul's recipe for success is that he never engages in childish personal attacks. I've never seen this congressman making any attempts to ridicule any other politician, that's why people take him seriously and listen to what he's actually saying. I may not agree with everything he is for but the guy has class

[sakonhagakure]

@oldtownkid

Of course he doesn't have to. He lets his fanatical 9-11 truther base do it for him.

[ExhibitMan]

Ron Paul is my president

[ManufacturedThoughts]

Thomas Jefferson is mine.

[spliffsperlunk]

My Grandfather is mine.

[Boomer1949]

some one who talks sense is always heard above the nonsense..Ron Paul talks sense.

[ElChe]

and following our discussion with ron paul will be will have our panel, including a giant douche and a turd sandwich...

[JoeJeffersonn]

Ed and Graham are loons. Ron has the right message for America.

[txliberty]

Ron Paul always makes sense.

Now, we need to get people to listen.

[Taors]

Wow, Ed, nice to see you're being civil this time.

[bamboozlewatch]

"Wow, Ed, nice to see you're being civil this time"

Exactly. I'm suprised Paul came on again after the way Ed treated him last time, not letting him speak. Maybe Ron said he wouldn't come on unless Ed agreed to not interrupt or talk over him.

[EndTheFedRes]

Yeah, I emailed Ed about how much of a DB he was.

[stracinsrt4]

isn't this the guy that attacked Schiff the other day?

[angelgabby]

"...in fact I don't like the noise sometimes..." rofl

So great, good to see this man get some respectful coverage finally

[davidf95]

Watch the video again. THIS MAN said the Ron Paul supporters said he took on oath to God. I've never heard a Ron Paul supporter say this. I've only heard them say they took an oath to withhold the constitution. Purposely keeping religion and politics seperate. So why did THIS MAN (Ed) suggest this?

[davidf95]

I'm a bit confused on what Ed started with. He stated that the Ron Paul supporters say that politicians take an oath to "GOD". Now I've been a Ron Paul supported for about 1 year now. Reading a lot of his workings. And I have never seen anything anywhere that any politician should base there job based on any sort of religion. They took an oath to uphold the "CONSTITUTION", not "GOD". Since when did Ron Paul supporters think our Governement should be run based on the Bible?

[pholland]

"Since when did Ron Paul supporters think our Governement should be run based on the Bible?"

Strawman. Believing that all citizens are endowed with unalienable rights by a creator (something Jefferson and the rest of the founders believed) does not mean you think Government should be run based on the Bible.

[davidf95]

Please re-read my statement. Since you obviously misinterpreted it. I'm asking why "THIS MAN" thinks that. Not Jefferson. One can have faith, but "NOT" wear it on his sleeve. Ron is very religous, but he doesn't speak about it in his politics.

[pholland]

"I'm asking why "THIS MAN" thinks that. Not Jefferson."

And the reason "THIS MAN" thinks that is the same reason Jefferson did. Anyone that believes in the principles spelled out in the Declaration of Independence likewise must believe in God. Without God, our rights come not from a higher power, but from the State, which is a scary thought.

[davidf95]

OMG. Stop reading, since you are incapable of it. Are you seriously that stupid? I'm not asking for a explanation on the pricnipals spelled out by the decleration. I'M ASKING WHY THIS MAN SAID THAT RON PAUL SUPPORTERS SAY HE TOOK AN OATH TO GOD. Please place a link that proves this? NOT YOUR FREAKING OPINION ON THE PRINCIPALS OF THE DECLERATION. I already know principals. I don't need schooling. If you DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. STOP REPLYING.

[davidf95]

THIS is a BIG PROBLEM in politics today. You are INCAPABLE of seperating the two. It's views like this that ruins democracy. I'm religous too. But to me, it's a completely seperate subject, and I don't interact the two.

[stracinsrt4]

Democracy is the problem, this is supposed to be a republic. Democracies are majority ruled and public opinion can be swayed by politically biased news outlets. They also traditionally turn to oligarchies and end in anarchism. Such is the way of revolution.

[davidf95]

I can run with this. Even Jefferson said he feared democracy. it's a way for 51% of the popluation to violate the other 49% constitutional rights.

[davidf95]

Here's Jefferson's quote:

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

[davidf95]

But either way. I still think politics and religion should be kept completely seperate.

[sungmee45]

This nation was founded on God, not man. Politician need to leave our freedom of speech alone period...Man is wicked not God. God has warn and warn, we as people has fail to listen to those warning period...Judgment is sure on this nation.

[Elasaltaculos]

Yeah, the first secular nation in the history of the world was "founded on God" (whatever that means), riiiiiiight. Next you'll say that the constitution was based on the bible, too.

God should teach you to spell.

[davidf95]

This nation was not founded on God. The earth was created by God, this land was created by God. But a nation is something man created himself. When you try and give God credit for something man did, it's a failure in understanding. He gave us the abilities to create a nation. But what we do with these abilities are our choice.

[pholland]

Yea I guess mixing politics and religion really destroys democracy. If this is true, then Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the founders were the biggest ruiners of democracy of all time because they created a government and legal structure entirely based on the idea that God guarantees our rights, and that they cannot be infringed upon.

[davidf95]

Why are you making stuff up and putting here? Thomas Jeffereson said no such thing. He NEVER said God GUARANTEES you our rights. LOOK it up. Research his quotes and saying before you come here and spreading your propaganda. YOU ARE ASSUMING he based this idea from God. He NEVER said that. And by what I have actually read about him and his quotes, which obviously YOU haven't seen you are so far off base, I totally disagree.

[pholland]

Ok, I'll research his quotes. Let me see...him...oh okay here we go...in 1776 he wrote this document called the Declaration of Independence.

There's this part where he says: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Yep, there it is, Jefferson saying God gives people their rights.

[davidf95]

I read this in a different way than you I guess. I also read this:

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the SEPERATE and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation"

[pholland]

Not sure how that is supposed to refute/contradict anything Jefferson says about all men being endowed by a creator with rights.

[davidf95]

Simple. You read ALL of it, and try to take it ALL in context the way HE MEANT it to be read. NOT the way YOU WANT it to be read.

[pholland]

So let's break it down.

The way I want it to be read: "All men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights." Strangely enough, these are his exact words.

The way you want it to be read: "I don't think God has any place in the public square. When I said that stuff about man being endowed by his creator, I was totally joking around. What I mean to say is that our rights come from government, not from God, just like the Europeans believe."

[davidf95]

But I completely understand. Fanatical Christians HAVE to throw God in EVERYTHING. Jefferson was one of the biggest supporters for the seperation of religion and state. Though you just HAVE to show he's a radical Christion basing the Declaraion on God. Please, keep going. It won't be long before you people turn the rest of the Christians against religion. I'm being serious, people like you are doing the best for this country. You're turning people against against it. It worked on me.

[scattt]

"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." Thomas Jefferson

[stracinsrt4]

Even if you don't believe that we have God given rights, it's better to assume we were given inalienable rights from a higher power than the government. Otherwise, governments giveth and government taketh. I would much rather have individual rights that the government cannot touch b/c it assumes a higher authority than them gave it. If the government assumes power to take your freewill, it also assumes it is your god.

[davidf95]

What does God given rights have to do with politics though. Nothin in the constitution violates God given rights. And if the constitution is adhered to, then this wouldn't even be an issue.

[davidf95]

I grew up a Christian. But I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I can't tell a difference between most of today's Christians and islamists. Both want to force there principals on the rest of the world. I am extremely saddened when I feel our world would be better of with neither. I love the religous concept and still believe in a God. But I have a hard time believing any God would support such radical measure you people pursue.

[pholland]

Yea I guess all fundamentalists really are dangerous. Remember the last time the Amish flew planes into buildings and slaughtered 3,000 people? Oh wait, that never happened, I forgot. Only Muslim fundamentalists do that type of stuff.

[davidf95]

I remember HISTORY and EVERY relegion at some point in time murdering and killing innocent victims for the sake of God. It's just that the ONLY one you rememebr and CARE about is in new York.

[pholland]

Yea, the only difference is fanatical Christians stopped doing that stuff like 5 centuries ago, while fanatical Muslims are, like, still doing it on a daily basis. 

Interesting how you ignore this.

[davidf95]

Interesting how you assume that I believe you. Fanatical Christians stopped doing this 5 centuries ago? What century do you think this is? The 26th? I'm not sure what time line you are living in, but in mine, the 21st century, it still happens. Maybe not quite as bad, but happening none the less.

[pholland]

Do fanatical Christians control governments that call for the destruction of entire civilizations? That force circumcision upon all female subjects? That harbor the training of terrorist cells that fly airplanes into buildings that slaughter thousands of people? That openly kill political disobedients at will for speaking against their regimes? That gas their own people for not converting to their religion?

No wait, I forgot, only fanatical Muslims do that stuff.

[davidf95]

I love how people take simple words from others and completely blow them so far out of proportion it's pathetic. Grats in totally succeeding. Even though I never came any where close to the made up BS you just spewed, I'll answer anyway. Fanatical Christians, JUST like fanatical muslims want to FORCE there (YOUR) personal opinion on the WORLD. There are so many U.S. laws in this country based solely around religion, and NOT the constitution. THIS is what has TURNED me away from religion.

[tooltalk]

Well, I think when God is used in this political context, it's meant to represent something that is "absolute." That is, the idea behind it isn't to promote any particular religion, but to emphasize the fact that the rights can not be abridged or reinterpreted by no politician, lawyers, etc.

No, Paul does not believe in anything absolute, but he frequently makes references to "God" to describe things that are off-limit (to political meddling) and beyond our (human) understanding.

[them00nmaster]

You take an oath on a Bible to swear in to government positions.

[davidf95]

So? I guess it MAY mean you are swearing to God, if you TRUELY believe it was WRITTEN by God and NOT man.

[davidf95]

I do think this will eventially end one day though. I do believe in a God. But I d not believe he wrote in books for little bitty humans on this littly itty bitty planet in our universe. If GOD really wrote a book, we would ALL know it and would ALL be learning from the SAME book. The Bible in my opinion is a great BOOK. Great history and a lot of GREAT sayings. But I do not believe he had any input on the book itself.

[AMERICANSTEW5]

Ron Paul is the guardian of the Constitution:

Over 2 years ago I started supporting Ron Paul with grass root support, and money. In 64 years, Ron Paul is the only politician I have ever donated money to, because I cherish the true and Ron Paul is the only politician that I know of that is truthful. He has NEVER voted for a tax increase.

[flexorder]

The slimeball can't treat his guests with respect so he is the wrong person to go after Ron Paul and his supporters for disrespectful treatment of a senator. Clean up your own act, media hack, before you ask others to do the same.

[wunderbeast]

it really is too bad. liberty minded americans have a right to be angry but i can see the corporate media spinning it to make them look like rabid dogs. it's not like they're acting like the way mccain supporters did during the campaign.

[FreedomsReigning]

Apparently "Ed" learned some manners after the last time Ron had to give him a public beat down on air.

What's the matter NBC? I thought all of the ruckus at the town hall meetings were "plants" from the RNC?

How are those bail outs from the government coming NBC? Maybe if Obama bails you out, you can keep propagandizing while nobody is watching?

Or will even the government realize that you're IRRELEVANT, and those dollars could be better spent elsewhere?

[bigsid920]

Ummm, I didn't hear the word god in that clip. It sounded more like war criminal?

[JasonBunting]

Ron Paul is one of my heroes - go Ron!

[R0BKenyon]

Ron is my hero. I respect him greatly. I hope to campaign for him in 2012.

[freekrolik]

The good old Doctor is a pro ... nobel peace prize for the interview! :)

[032125]

Ed is a total jackass and a bully. You should see this "interview" with Peter Schiff.

[Cleancutchaos]

Yeah I saw that and i wanted to reach my hand through my screen and punch that jackass in the wiener. But I don't think that was Ed interviewing schiff, it seemed to be some asshat named O'donnel or something like that. maybe standing in for ed? iono.

[032125]

Oh yeah, that's right. Remind me to mail O'Donnell a fart in a zip-lock bag.

[2012Ronpaul2012]

Audit the Fed....

END THE FED!!!!!

[healthhavencom]

Don't trust this Ed guy.  He has no principles.

Ron Paul rocks.

[thinkingfree101]

this might be the 1st good interview i seen this Lie prophiteer give........ i wish Ron Paul would give up on these repubs they will never stand for what he dose.... there's no differance between the two partys they both want to controll you they just take differnt road's getting there....

[Dannyboy8155]

Whatever the case is, we need to get our act together very quickly. The EU is near ratifying a treaty that will create the office "President of the European Union" (This was on CNN Fareed Zakaria). The leading candidate is Tony Blair. The countries of the EU combined have a higher GDP than the US, as well as a larger military and gold reserve. While the US and EU usually see eye to eye, it cannot be denied that the economic influence of this entity will rival the United States.

[jwinter228]

End the Fed!!

[ausscyn]

Can't get enough of Ron Paul.

For some reason, I LOVE the truth!!!

For get President, make him:

Pope Ron Paul

for truly, he is guided by God

[LORDOFWARS8]

Thats awesome, dude!

[gold95]

Wow, Ed sure has changed his tune.. About time he was respectful and not just trying to do yell "journalism."

[juice797]

Yeah Ed doesn't want to end up like Lindsey...

[guitarland]

Ed, you have come a long way from your old loud mouth self. Thanks for showing the proper respect to Ron Paul and giving him time to speak his viewpoint.

[Blackjack555]

Ron Paul tells the truth.

[chucksheen]

Thanks Ed!

Thanks Dr. Paul!

Thanks to those in support of HR1207 and individual liberty!

[michaelchainsaw]

Lindsey. Isn't that a girls name?

No wonder he is pissed off.

[HeatForce]

Ed, I must give you a round of applause. Now if only you could get Schiff on your show so he could explain his side of the story...

[JoeyPencils]

Ed is atool...RP sets him straight tho!

[haskellfilmz]

I no longer care what people think about Ron Paul People! Eventually...they will understand, and they can thank me later!

[israelandersonvideo]

Exactly...

[haskellfilmz]

Ron Paul is my President too!!! He got it in! Audit The Fed! Awesome!

[2012Ronpaul2012]

Ron Paul ftw!

[soundgarden21]

Thank you Ed, for allowing him to talk. I was pleased when you said you backed the audit...

[emeihongshen]

Ron Paul is a gentleman. He is too nice.

I'm so glad to hear Ed he will talk auditing the fed next time.

[jaychins]

i think Dr. Paul can still run in 2012!

[Girls4RonPaul]

Ron Paul is my President!

[Intervene]

What a champion. An absolute hero.

[AntiFed1791]

Ron is a gentleman and a scholar, but the political monsters in this country, like Graham, need a good tar and feathering.

Sorry, Ron, but I just don't have the saint-like patience or tolerance that you do.

[jonesey5168]

Ed's best show yet...hard to argue with truth

[Tasadaru]

Uh oh! People are starting to see through the 2 party illusion.

. . . must be Al Qaeda. LOL!

AJ listeners will get the joke.

[fitzee11]

I am all for Ron Paul but people need to leave God out of political debates. It becomes an easy way for people to group Ron Paul Republicans as crazy religious freaks. And also, God is completely irrelevant anyway.

[uche007us]

just the one woman who asked the question invoked God and he voted for Chuck Baldwin. Ron Paul republicans are not jesus freaks, even the ones that are keep it to themselves the way it should be

[AntiFed1791]

Yeah, some Ron Paul fans are Christians, but it was Mr. Ed that distorted the facts in this case. But, hey, you are perfectly free to gulp the MSNBC koolaid straight from the dispenser for all I care.

[pholland]

"And also, God is completely irrelevant anyway."

Except that the founding documents say all of our rights come from him. So yea, I guess he's really irrelevant.

[fitzee11]

You don't have to believe in God to believe in human rights. You can but you don't have to. I'm just saying that this is not the best way to spread our message. Because those who don't agree religiously will blow off the political ideology. And if you truly believe in individual rights and freedom you have to accept all religions. So we shouldnt use God as a point of arguement.

[davidf95]

What country's founding documents are you reading? NO WHERE in the U.S. Decleration of Indepence is the word "God".

[pholland]

I'm reading the one that says all men are endowed by their Creator (and "creator" is capitalized) with certain unalienable rights.

Now, I'm not sure what creator you think they were talking about, but I'm pretty sure they were referring to God.

[Argonaut1337]

Seriously this Lindsey Graham guy votes like a democrat.... Ed you are paranoid this was no planned attack. If Lindsey walks like a duck talks like a duck his constituents will call him out like a duck. Lindsey Graham has ABSOLUTLEY ZERO credibility. He's a female pushover with a neocon thinking cap.... the Republican party is better off with out him.

[juliannabenfield]

uche...no worries Rand is not that far off...neither is schiff

[jumperno64]

go ron!

[Claytrainor]

Ladys and gentlemen, the leader of the Republican Party, Ron Paul :-D

[uche007us]

It sadens me that Ron Paul is no longer a young man, we need this man for atleast 8ys to fix all the mess done by the 2 idiot parties.

Ron Paul 2012 \o/

[tdizzle]

He's still sharper than all of the other politicians... I wouldn't worry too much.
