Thompson on the rise

@Silverchild79,

So what in your opinion, gives someone a chance? Winning some poll that their campaign paid for? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Ron Paul has a very good chance. When you have real ideas and no skeletons, you always have a chance. I think alot of people will be surprised at how much his campaign has raised in this quarter when the numbers come out.

I see you're from Santa Fe. I hope you're not backing Richardson! I shook that guy's hand once, and I felt like I was standing next to the devil.

For one try running for the job under the banner of your true intent. A libertarian running as a repug does not sit well with me. Some would call it a Rino.

The only poll that matters happens on election day 08. Will Ron be there, dollar say no?

Raising is a gaurantee of spending not of winning.

@Silverchild79,

So explain to me why you don't accept Ron Paul as a Republican. Seeing as how he has been voted into his Congressional seat as a REPUBLICAN 10 times, I would say many people in Texas believe he is one.

@Silverchild79,

Read his Bio. I also have heard people on this forum who are in favor of him call him a libertarian.

Ron Paul is a Republican. He's a member of their party, he caucuses with them, and it says Republican next to his name on the ticket everytime he runs for Congress.

Ron Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 1988 presidential election, despite no previous affiliation with the Libertarian Party, Paul won the nomination of the United States Libertarian Party for the U.S. Presidency. Appearing on the ballot in 46 states and the District of Columbia,[32] he placed third in the popular vote (with 431,750 votes - 0.47%), behind George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis.[33] Although he had been an early supporter of Ronald Reagan, Paul was critical of the unprecedented deficits incurred by Reagan's administration, for which his opponent George H.W. Bush had been vice-president.[29]

@GoneResistance,

Wow, almost 20 years ago he won a nomination of a party he was not even affiliated with, will that just makes the case crystal ******* clear don't it :beat:

He is a republican, his voting record is republican, more so than ANY of the "front runners" including the wannabe Bush-lite Thompson. He was a delegate to the Texas state REPUBLICAN convention in 1974, endorsed Reagan against Ford in '76, than a 10 term REPUBLICAN congressman, now running in the REPUBLICAN party for president. Hmmmm....doesn't sound like a Libertarian to me.

I know all you little Bush lapdogs wish he was, unfortunately, he is the ONLY politician who's litmus test for a law or bill is whether it is constitutional. The only candidate that does NOT change his policies no matter how unpopular they may be. And is the only one that actually fits the bill of what America NEEDS to fix this ever deepening hole the neocons have dug us into.

You retards are so glued t your MSM candidates, it has completely eleviated you of any rational thought other than what tehy tell you.

A vote for any of the "frontrunners" is a vote for...

More Illegals
More McCain-Feingold
More NAFTA CAFTA MEFTA
More World Trade Organization
More China
More Foreign Aid
More Unconstitutional spending
More CFR
More American Enterprise Institute
More Affirmative Action
More North American Union
More UN
More "The ultimate decision must be made by a woman"

**** that, you can sell this country and live in a 3rd world nation if you like, actually, better yet, you can move to ******* Mexico and not have to wait.

There is no indication at all when that polling was done. I didn't learn of Ron Paul until May 15, and I'm sure alot of other people are in the same boat as me.

@Silverchild79,

Ok, to the final would of been .44.

Ron Paul would be a better president than even Reagan.

That puts him up there with Washington.

Of course, I still don't think he'll be elected. Nevertheless, I support him and Tancredo above the other boobs everyone's babbling about.

@Silverchild79,

Fred Thompson is a globalist member of the CFR (a group advocating for open borders). All the moderate republicans are backing Guiliani and the true conservatives are scattered aimlessly. I agree with Ron Paul supporters on many points, but I support Duncan Hunter. He has been working tail off to protect our borders (he built a fence in San Diego that stopped immigration by 90%), he promises border protection within 6 months of his presidency, he is not a member of the CFR, he will work for a STRONG national defense to keep us safe from growing threats of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. He will stop unfair trade policies that is sending our money to china's military, he will get us off of our dependancy on foreign oil, and he will get us out of Iraq safely. He is the only one running with a VERy strong and consistent record of being both socially conservative and constituionalist. But our media that's infatuated with all the CFR globalists won't pay him any attention.

Nope. The only issue more important to me than illegal immigration right now is not leaving Iraq. I believe that will be the destruction of any honor we may have left.

We owe it to the Iraqis to stay.

There was one time opposing the Iraq War made sense, and that was before it began. Now that it began, we failed our duty to stop it. Now our duty is to ride it out.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why I said 'safely', really looking back that was a terrible word choice. Read up on him, don't take my word for it. He agrees that the war was mismanaged and wants us to get out of there when the job is done.

Does he also want to abolish the IRS and Federal Reserve (along with like... most agencies out there)?

If so I'll certainly look into him.

I know he has said he wants to eliminate the IRS, I'll keep looking in to that issue.

And he supports the fair tax.

@Silverchild79,

Ron Paul wants to shut down the IRS, which he could effectively do as President, because the President is head of the Executive Branch, and the Treasury Dept. is in the Executive Branch. See, all these agencies set up in the Executive Branch (IRS, CIA, FBI, NSA, Homeland Sec., DEA, ATF) are ostensibly to help the President carry out his duties. So, all those people serve at the pleasure of the President, whomever he or she may be. That's why Congress can't get rid of A.G. Gonzales even though they hate him. Ron Paul also wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve, which is a completely unfair system and needs to be abolished in my opinion. The President appoints the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve. What if the President didn't appoint anyone to it?

I'm sure Congress would throw a fit, but I think the move would be so popular, that the masses would be able to keep Big Business from having President Paul impeached. I'm sure it would be a monumental showdown, though.

What a perfect example of doublethink!
