11. Ummm, he's got a job. As a Congressman. |
|
And Andrew Sullivan, Bill Moyers and Glenn Greenwald thinks he has principle. You're just an anonymous peon spewing ignorance. I have heard and read all the lies about Dr. Ron Paul and if you (and everyone else on this blog) that believes the propaganda, then you are not really a progressive, because that takes intelligence. EEEEAAAHHH wrong answer. The reason Ron Paul (and Dennis Kucinich to a lesser extent) got blackballed (and lied about) is the extreme danger they pose to the status quo of the Power Establishment. Grow up, child. That goes for the rest of you dumbasses that believed the hype. Don't go through life stupid. Your family will thank you :)

12. Ron Paul is dangerous. |
|
He trolls for political support at conspiracy conventions that are known to be frequented by racists, out-and-out Nazis, neo-Confederates, and militia types while simultaneously adopting an anti-war platform to attract the unsuspecting.

He is right about a need to be concerned about our money policy. I, like Cenk, do not believe in everything that Rep. Paul believes are the solutions, but I wish more Republicans were like him.

3. I'm with you. I think Ron Paul is well worth listening to . |
|
Besides, I think he only joined the repubs to get into congress. He's run for president on the Libertarian ticket in the past.

9. Ron Paul is a fucking wackjob. |
|
Just because he's unlike most other GOP House members in that he can form coherent English sentences doesn't mean he has anything worthwhile to say.

was more and more surprised that he was still alive after statements he made on the House floor regarding Iraq. At first a couple of relatives thought that I was totally joking when I said it, then they realized that I was only half kidding.

6. Anti Progressive, Antiunion, AntiSoc Security, |
|
Anti Universal healthcare.
RP opposes regulation that LED US INTO THIS GIGANTIC FUCKING MESS.
Has known friends and aquaintences within white supremecist circles.
He is also DEAD WRONG on fiscal policy/fiscal views.
America owns $285 billion worth of gold. Crunch a 15 trillion dollar annual economy and a 8 trillion dollar circulating currency into a gold backed currency when we only own $285B worth of gold?(based on $1k per ounce)
Laughable fiscal policy at best.
RP supports the 2 Americas/wealth divide.

10. Our banking system is going to destroy this country before 'terrorists' |
|
You do not have to agree with someone on everything to UNDERSTAND he is right on certain issues.
RP would be terrible for this country as the national leader. But the fucker has so many good ideas it is hard to ignore him completely...then again he has many bad ones.
My point is just because someone thinks completely opposite of you does not mean you ignore them. That is the worst thing to do.

13. Fractional banking is the foundation of our prosperity. |
|
If we required 100% reserves as Ron Paul suggests, that would propel us through worldwide depression, and likely shrink the economy by over 90%. The fact that he cited Rothbard, from the loony Austrian economics "school", proves he knows nothing about how capitalism works.
