I'm just drawing conclusions based on the available evidence, and the evidence available in this thread is that you can't actually discuss the issues at hand. All you seem to do is repeat talking points, and when asked for clarification simply post videos of other people repeating talking points.
You realize tv and talk radio is posted on youtube? Everything on tv is posted on youtube? Youre a ****ing dumb ass lol. God this forum is just sad.
Are you f'ing retarded? you realize that only reinforces my point that you are no better than a faux news drone.
Enjoy having your money become more worthless due to inflation, another hidden tax on your ass.
How is rep. Paul going to magically stop inflation? By abolishing the fed and putting us on the gold standard? That wouldjust make things worse. Deflation is not inherently better than inflation. Anyway, how exactly does rep. Paul plan to avoid the massive economic upheaval (and subsequent loss of wealth) that would come from simply abolishing the fed without changing the rest of the system? Simply pointing out existing problems doesn't make me want to support rep. Paul.
Valuing the states more than the people? youre a ****ing idiot. Its about bring federal laws to the state level where people get to have more a decision.
He would take away power the federal gov't is using to protect the people (e.g. the Civil Rights Act, ADA, etc.), and give it to the states, which will use it to oppress people (fun fact, there were no federal Jim Crow laws, that was all states oppressing people). If he truly valued the rights of the people, he would be more interested in protecting their rights, not simply dismantling the federal gov't.
God damn this is pointless. When has ron ever said his relgious beliefs will get in the way? You dont even know what the **** you're talking about do you?
Ron Paul said
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers.
Oh, of course he never says he going to actually do these things. But he does them anyway. When has the rhetoric coming out of his mouth ever stopped a politician from doing what he wants? I think this is the biggest problem with paul supporters, that they believe that because he has different talking points, he will actually act differently from other politicians.

Well lets see...One is a moderate conservative who is willing to listen to all sides, and the other is an extremest liberal who compromises with no one.
I hate to break it to you, but by any standard other than contemporary American politics (as in, the last 10 years or so), Obama is a moderate conservative and mittens is a radical conservative. It's just that the rest of the field has swung so far into extreme conservatism it makes him look moderate by comparison.
