Comments on: Gingrich Forecasts Ron Paul Nomination? http://donklephant.com/2007/06/09/gingrich-forecasts-ron-paul-nomination/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable. Sat, 22 Nov 2008 05:40:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Nick http://donklephant.com/2007/06/09/gingrich-forecasts-ron-paul-nomination/#comment-370294 Nick Fri, 13 Jul 2007 17:34:29 +0000 http://donklephant.com/?p=3620#comment-370294 Jim, was Chris's first paragraph not accurate? Mean spirited, well, if you're think skinned I guess, but overall it seemed to be at least accurate. Remember this: Government programs developed to help the poor average a net benefit to those needy folks of 30% of the department budgets that are designed to help them. They also rely on the benevolent distribution of the state. Conversely, private charities average between 70-95% direct benefit to the people they are designed to help. If you want proof, ask any Hurricane Katrina victim who helped more, the Red Cross or the city, state, and federal governments? As for Chris's attitude, well maybe he's just pissed off at having almost half his income taken every year to be wasted by government types. Hostile? Maybe he'd rather donate to the charity of his choice. I know I would. One could argue that the mentality of lefties is that of crybabies and whiners. They, too, piss me off.

He has stated that he understands your entitlement mentality and your reliance on the state nipple to solve the problems you don't want to take time away from The Sopranos to think about or donate to. Paul and Kucinich are BFFs when it comes to the war, and Paul stated that if he wins, he will bring the troops home, cut military spending and the Military Industrial Complex, apply it towards the deficit, and then we can talk about entitlements. He is more interested in tackling things that are considered putrid and disgusting to all Americans, the war, taxes, spending. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig7/davis4.html "CD: Congressman Dennis Kucinich is kind of similar in that he is one of the more vocal antiwar critics on the Democratic side of the debates. I know you guys probably disagree on a load of things, but you’ve come together a lot to work on issues of war and peace. So could you talk about your relationship with Congressman Kucinich over the past couple years, what it’s been like, what you think of him? RP: We’re close friends, and we certainly agree [on the war]. And I think we may end up voting closely all the time on the war issue. Sometimes some of these funding bills are a little bit complex, and even Walter Jones and I will disagree even though we agree on what we’re supposed to be doing, but the interpretation will be a little bit different. But I think Dennis and I usually come down on the same side of it. That is, if you don’t want the war you quit the funding, and that’s our responsibility and it’s not the president’s authority to do what he wants because we have the purse strings, so you have to vote against the spending. So we get along very well on that, and since it’s such a major issue I think I will continue to work with him the best we can. And you know, take some of the liberal welfare spending that Dennis might support more than I. But you know, I’m not hostile toward that. If I can save the money from overseas, put some of it against the deficit, end up with a net reduction in the size of the budget, at the same time stopping a war, I may well be very open to funding some of these programs. Because I’m not out to gut some of these programs that have taught people to be very dependant on the government, like medical care. I mean, that’s not my goal. I’ve never run for office with the goal of slashing [those programs] even though philosophically I don’t think it’s the best way to deliver services and prosperity to poor people. CD: So can we look forward to a Paul-Kucinich 2008 ticket? RP: Not likely, but I think that Paul and Kucinich will continue to work together and do the kind of work that we’ve been doing for a couple years now." Kucinich has had a lot of good things to say about Paul as well. Paul is not a "totalitarian decider". You want someone who won't bend and will be the next Stalin, look no further then Ghouliani... You act like this guy doesn't know how to reach across the isle. Look at who he typically sponsors bills with and you'll see otherwise. You worry too much, if anything he can peel back the layers of slime and give us a fresh plate to work off of, or at least one with a lot less stink and rot.

One quote from him is <a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul272.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a> from August 2005. <blockquote> What programs can we cut? What agencies and departments should go? A better question is: What should stay on a permanent basis? That's easy: only those functions specifically outlined in the Constitution. Is foreign aid allowed by the Constitution? No. Is public housing in the Constitution? No. Is federal involvement in education? No. Are the EPA, OSHA, and the BATF? No. Is protecting our borders? Yes. </blockquote> So there would be no social programs as well. Not one. Should the federal government not support these programs they would vanish from the states as well or at least shrink to being so small that the social safety net might as well not exist. So the practical consequences of a nation where Ron Paul and his supporters actually got their way would be that if it <b>didn't</b> work out to where private charities had the money needed to help those in poverty you would see massive homelessness and starvation. There would also be such a patchwork of environmental regulation that the environment would suffer tremendously. In the real world you would get the equivalent of banks going to states that don't regulate financial institutions. There would be states that would not regulate pollution because of financial considerations. These states would attract business. But of course their pollution wouldn't stay in their state. And nothing would stop it from happening in Ron Paul's world where the federal government is only responsible for security and interstate law enforcement. How many people who like Ron Paul really understand the implications of a modern nation and economy trying to go back to the gold standard? Of what it would really mean in the international economic markets that we must exist within if we did not have a Federal Reserve? It seems to me that the strongest supporters of Ron Paul are those who understand least about how truly complex our modern world is and how little simplistic answers will ever contribute to it.

Then on to the Presidency!!! http://leadership2008.bravehost.com However, if this is to come about (Ron Paul 2008) we will require a war chest... We are attempting to get (1) one Million people to send Ron Paul only $7.00 each per Month... Thanks... Joel... Meanwhile Consider The Following: Our Only Choice!!! Leadership 2008 Can Ron Paul Win? On The Issues - A Resounding YES! Knowing this let us then look at the most important benefit… that Ron Paul brings to the Presidency... "Leadership" Leadership is Action Through *Example Not Position... (It is not a position of power nor being in the right place at the right time, neither define leadership). It is defined by setting the example through taking action on such Leadership Traits as Truthfulness! Honesty! Fidelity! Ron Paul Has Acted Admirably On All These Leadership Traits: “Truthfulnessâ€Â? first and foremost… Then: Principle, Integrity, Honesty,* Fidelity (to their oaths), Honor, Virtue, Compassion, Courage, Vision, Wisdom and Faith. DARE TO COMPARE Can anyone bring forth any other candidate (GOP or DEM, etc.) that can lay claim to all of these characteristics? I believe we are all hard pressed to do so... “Strike Thatâ€Â?.

And don't forget the $7 per Month "we all can afford that" remember each of us do not need to get thousands of people... just set a weekly goal and have any/all of your friends duplicate your efforts... It will be persistence and perseverance that will elect Ron Paul... PS: Start with flyers at the Universities put one on each and every bulletin board on campus also look for support from the student GOP... Then have them go to other campus's... Also, don't forget High School Seniors- by the time elections roll around they will be old enough to vote! What Ron Paul needs most is “Money” I’m using this and it is working very well… consider it… Everyone can afford it!!!

Cynicism and defeatism are NOT options to be entertained.
“We are in the eleventh hour of losing this Nation…”

Consider the only Conservative Presidential Candidate…

Knowing this let us then look at the most important benefit… that Ron Paul brings to the Presidency…

“Leadership”

Leadership is Action Through *Example Not Position…

(It is not a position of power nor being in the right place at the right time, neither define leadership).

It is defined by setting the example through taking action on such Leadership Traits as Truthfulness! Honesty! Fidelity!

Ron Paul Has Acted Admirably On All These Leadership Traits:

“Truthfulness� first and foremost… Then: Principle, Integrity, Honesty,* Fidelity (to their oaths), Honor, Virtue, Compassion, Courage, Vision, Wisdom and Faith.

DARE TO COMPARE

Can anyone bring forth any other candidate (GOP or DEM, etc.) that can lay claim to all of these characteristics?

Bush has trampled on our liberty. He suspended Habeas Corpus for the first time since the civil war... and what does Gonzales say ? That habeas corpus was never really part of the constitution! Wow, what a great justification. Stop the Bush Corruption. Thats right, I said it, corruption! America needs Ron Paul. Bush has trampled on our liberty.

It seems to me that the party wants to implode and let the democrats take the blame for awhile. Maybe this is the plan... Let someone else clean up the mess while they hide the money that is 'unaccounted for' in war spending. I think that Ron Paul could debate rings around anyone running for the dems or repubs, period. This is an intelligent guy (not a puppet) who says what he thinks and means what he says. Look up his voting record and you will soon see that he is not a politician, but a representative of the people, and is 'the champion of the constitution'. One thing I do know, Dr. Paul has a powerful message and some fresh air is blowing across the country. Some people are getting a whif and yearn for more.

Newt thinks he is talking about himself, but he is as likely to win the general election as Paul is to win the nomination.
