@mrwakethesheeple - you're confused, just like the chick who just interviewed him. Lmfao. He follows the constitution. When spending that he votes AGAINST passes, it is his job to earmark some of the money back home. Otherwise, it goes to the exec branch.

[iFreedom4ever]

@mit26chell

exactly, "It's the spending stupid" not the earmarks.

[iFreedom4ever]

@mit26chell

and the money that goes to the exec to spend at their discretion, i.e. an embassy in London for a billion, is not considered an earmark.

[AnnInFL]

I'm glad Ron Paul had a chance to give a good explanation for his position on earmarks. I have heard him attacked before using this issue, but he makes a cogent case for his position --that he votes against the spending bills anyway, and he wants the Congress to retain its Constitutional power and authority to direct appropriations rather than ceding this power to the Executive.

[iFreedom4ever]

@AnnInFL Agreed, that was his best explanation of ear marks. Most of the time he's never allowed to complete his thought.

Ron Paul 2012! Spread the message! We'll take back our government!

For liberty! For freedome! For consititution! Ron Paul 2012! Mark my words. WE WILL WIN!

[kardentyrell]

WACK, Home run Ron Paul :D

[Sivels]

@spanishaustralian It isn't, I believe a government constrained by the constitution (with the commerce clause eliminated). But a return to the constitution isn't a real argument for liberty, it's just a piece of paper. But my view is that it is impossible. Ron Paul says himself that he's had extremely low expectations in order to not lose the will to live.

[spanishaustralian]

@Sivels now bringing you back to the original question why is it laughable to bring it back in full force ?

[Sivels]

@spanishaustralian The constitution died decades ago. It has been broken countless times throughout history, and the federal government seems to have monopoly on interpretation of it.

[spanishaustralian]

@Sivels where do you think the system stems from already you idiot? from the constitution that rules the country already. so whats so unrealistic about strengthing its already established position. obama swears an oath into president to repect and defend it. thats his direct oath and promise when being pushed into his leadership role. but the cunt doesnt get it. and you too. you too dont get it cause youre to fucking stupid.

[brad3378]

Ron Paul doesn't support inflation. If his ideas start catching on, get rich by short selling the stock market when it starts to return to Pre-Federal Reserve levels from the 1913 era. It will be a painful adjustment as wages and prices fall to 1913 levels, but it will be necessary in order to pay down our national debt owed to our baby boomer overlords. We must keep paying down our debts or else the baby boomers will live in poverty!

[Sivels]

@spanishaustralian It's laughable because it's gonna get them nowhere, and it's simply naive.

[spanishaustralian]

@Sivels whats so laughable about it ?

[iFreedom4ever]

@margoliesmedia good point. big primaries tomorrow for 2010 in PA, KY, AR...

[margoliesmedia]

@steeldawn71 I'm all for electing Ron in 2012 but lets not forget 2010 elections, they are very important. There are plenty of candidates who support Ron's ideas. Find one thats running in your district and VOTE. If there are none then RUN, YOURSELF. Chances are YOU are more qualified than them. There are plenty of funds available to support those running in the name of liberty.
