Ron Paul on Cap and Trade

i appreciate the civil reply but i only had one point in my original comment. and that was dont comment about it... find out for yourself instead of listening to others words :)

i dont remember mentioning the EU at all. My only point was that you should check RP's voting record and what he has said and then compare it to other politicians. I dont like the EU because of how members have to cede thier sovereignty for very few benefits just like i dont like how the states are being forced to cede thier rights to our federal government. its wrong. and its NOT what the constitution says is right either. Sovereignty of the states is a truth this generation is 4getting about

I love how people criticize Ron Paul about dumb crap when all the politicians they vote for after the election are ghosts that come back to haunt you. And Ron Paul actually communicates with his constituents on a weekly basis AT LEAST.

Most of the time your repersentives don't even read your letters or listen to your calls.

The only only way they hear you is if you speak to them directly.

They have a secetary that replies a pre-fabericated response informing you that he is taking the issue that you wrote about very seriously. - Don't believe me? Have 3 or 4 friend send in a letter expressing their concern on the same issue and I bet one or more will get the same response

Whenever I see a crowd THIS into a POLITICIAN I get a bad feeling.

A politician who hates the government doesn't ass up in my book. Maybe I'm missing something?

Is it pooooooooosible he tells you what you want to hear to gain political power, and then not deliver....you know...the thing politicians do for a living?

Anyone?

I would have to agree with you except Ron Paul votes the way he belives. I challenge you to find out what he says and see the way his votes go in washington. Dont listen just to what people say... findout for yourself.

I agree that some politicians are better than others.
However the problem in the US as I see it is the political system.
I think the political system works much better in EU. One can argue about policy, EU being more socialistic ect, but I dont think you can argue that democracy works better over there.

The main source for that as I see it is campaign donations. They have laws to stop money flowing into politics.

RP would either get corrupted by money or stopped by the other corrupts.

TheSaltyAdmiral, you can't simply say that hating the government is bad, it's for what reason that makes the difference.

You may hate the government for certain reasons, but what is the best way to change the government for the better? Become a politician and do it yourself.

That would indeed be expensive, and yes it is the biggest one.

But it is not as expensive as one would think. Because you would only reforest strategic points throughout the desert, and the forest itself will fill in the gaps over time. Basically all we need to do is bring water, nature does the rest.

And the benefits of turning the Sahara desert into the Sahara forest is almost immeasurable.

I'm not just talking about GW, we will benefit from it in a much broader perspective.

well if it could be sustainable without constant human irrigation sounds like a really out there but nontheless a good idea
