Yesterday, during a discussion on Ron Paul with Sean Hannity on the latter’s radio show, Hannity brought up with me the impossible-to-get around subject of the infamous Ron Paul Newsletters.
As Hannity quite correctly pointed out, with the other GOP candidates having received the political equivalent of an anal exam, somehow Ron Paul has escaped notice.
No more.
While I think the lack of attention has been due to the fact that many did not take him seriously, a justifiable complaint from his supporters, I have tried to do just that in this space. And in doing so launched a fusillade of angry response from Paul supporters that, peculiarly, never seems forthcoming when I criticize Gingrich/Romney/Perry/Huntsman etc etc.
But as we head into this last debate of the season, Hannity has raised an excellent point. The higher Ron Paul goes, as with his fellow candidates who have floated to the top previously, the scrutiny will intensify. And Ron Paul will have to seriously answer.

Mark Levin is Jewish..so he hates Ron Paul for his stand on Israel being able to take care of themselves. Ron Paul is not Racist as you’ll see many, many blacks canvassing for him, and he hasn’t told them to leave! As far as Blacks and Crime rates here in America, it is a sad truth that many blacks are pulled into crime, as they’ve been kept in a sort of box to remain segregated, even though segregation was supposed to be abolished. They’re raised to hate Whites and Black Panthers are truth of this fact. It’s OK to post videos about Black Panthers Racism and Black Power Demagoguery, but if Ron Paul or his supporters point that out, it’s terrible. He’s the only person willing to pull for everyones Liberty by taking out the EPA, Federal Reserve Bankrupters, and all other agencies encroaching our economy and freedom, and not one other Candidate will do that! You want a job? Than vote Ron Paul 2012. The rest will take care of itself, I can guarantee it! You think we’re safe with the CFR and the Bilderbergers who control the Federal Reserve Bankrupters? It’s either sink or swim. Ron Paul is honest and the rest are dishonest. It’s a plain truth of the fact.

At the GOP Convention in New Orleans this year, Herman Cain was booed by Ron Paul supporters. Herman Cain appeared before Ron Paul and Ron Paul supporters came into the audience at the beginning of Herman Cain’s appearance and booed Herman Cain at his introduction in the section I was sitting in. Why do you think that happened? They did not boo any other candidate.

Herman Cain was on the board of the Federal Reserve in his State. That is probably why they booed him. He sees nothing wrong with the Federal Reserve Bankrupters, but I, for one, and many others, know differently.

Just for your information I am a Michele Bachmann supporter. She is a constitutional conservative and has the voting record to prove it. I never did support Herman Cain but I did think he should not have been booed.

I would never boo a candidate and heckle them for any reason, and I’m a Ron Paul Supporter. I don’t agree with Ron Paul 100% down the line. I’m actually at closer affinity to Rand Paul, especially with regard to Marriage, but Ron Paul is 75% correct, while the others won’t go hard on abortion as he wants to abolish it entirely. I think that’s a good start. It is murder in the first degree. I know he has a good heart,and I pray for him and hope he makes rebound on marriage. I know he’s been married to the same woman for over 40 years, so he’s for marriage between one man and woman, but he’s too lenient on gays.

The funny thing is that Ron Paul has Jews on his campaign staff and did in ’08, too. He has surrounded himselves with Jewish economists and Constitutionalists his whole career. I have a very long list of them. AND… Ron Paul’s Israel policy dovetails with what Netanyahu requested of America: butt out! American’s are so arrogent and brainwashed!
“The Arab nations surrounding Israel get seven times as much as Israel gets and also a recent study came out that showed that for every dollar you give to an Arab nation, prompts Israel to spend $1.4. They have to spend it to compensate for the increase in the opposition. This to me makes no sense. The other thing I don’t like about getting Israel dependent upon us is one; we might not be there when they really need us, because we might be broke. But also, they can’t do anything. If they want to talk friends with somebody, we might say oh no, you can’t talk with Syria or you can’t do this. We’ve done that on occasion. But also, when they decide they want to do something with their borders, like just recently when Obama suggested to them what they ought to do with the Palestinians, even my own sympathies are irrelevant if you have a non-interventionist foreign policy. As far as Israel goes, I defend their right to do what they need to do for their own security and they shouldn’t give up their sovereignty to us. If they depend upon our money and our troops, they’re sacrificing more than they need to sacrifice.” ~Ron Paul Jews for Ron Paul: “Israel is our close friend. While President Obama’s demand that Israel make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own, without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United Nations. Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington.” ~Ron Paul https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_120897794658789

This is a very good point. I really think people need to look at Ron Paul’s Web Site. He’s got it down to the wire on what he will do to safe the economy. I’m afraid folks, that if anyone else gets in, it will be business as usual. The Federal Reserve Bank, which is controlled in part by the Rockefellers, doesn’t care about you or me, they want control fo the world’s money, and the person who control’s the worlds money, controls the world. Please believe that! It’s a fact!

What is more Progressive…a person who wants to do away with “Big Government”, or a person who wants to encroach you with “Big Goverment.” Not one candidate has proven to date that they are not for Big Government. You think that’s Socialism? You’ve got to be kidding! Progressives want Socialism. Ron Paul does not want Socialism. He wants to private sector to take care of the underpriviledged, and he wants to decrease the size of Government and encroachments on our Liberty. Some of it may be a little too much for some people to swallow, but in the long haul he sits on a better platform than any of his contenders. Rand Paul said they’re lying about Iran to start another war, and take out another leader in the Middle East. It’s all a plot and a plan. Get wise people before it’s too late for all of us. You think killing almost 4,000 of our young men in over a decade since 9/11 has made us safer? I think it just made us more unsafe, because we killed the best America had to offer.

The marxists (including Axelrod/Obama) lied about Herman Cain to force him from the campaign so they could use “the race card”. Put it in context – Dr. Paul is correct – nearly 100% of D.C. citizens are black Americans. Most black Americans are Democrat even though Republicans are responsible for stopping slavery and trying to get them off the plantation. Barry Hussein has placed most of us back on that plantation.

Ron Paul isn’t wrong on his foreign policy. What has the President of Iran done to USA except tell us to get out of his turf? Who wouldn’t? Let me tell you, Roosevelt got us into World War II, and after World War II allowed the Russians to invade Poland, Czechoslavakia, etc. and tuck away Christians in every concentration camp they could find. So you think Ron Paul is crazy? Maybe you better look at what’s going on in the Middle East first. They killed Gadaffi; they took out Mubarak and are going down the list one by one, and guess what they’re going to replace them with? Guess….please…just guess once…….”the Muslim Brotherhood”. You got a clue about foreign policy? You think that makes us safer? Please..I need a alka-seltzer.

You’re wrong about Obama and Ron Paul on Foreign policy. Obama wants Muslim Brotherhood to take over the Middle East. Ron Paul wants us out of the Middle East, and staying at home where we belong. We’re not the policemen of the world, as he has so graciously pointed out time and again. Obama got Gadaffi killed, and the worst part of it all, is he had him thinking he was his friend. They’re going to kill every last leader in the Middle East, until they have a secure hold on the entire Middle East, and will put in their Puppet Ruler, and engulf them into the One World Bank and One World Government. It is all a scheme. Ron Paul knows this. He’s no dope, sorry.

Newt Gingrich = Lobbying and taking money from Lobbiers. Newt Gingrich = Climate Change Legislation. Newt Gingrich = Supporting candidates for stem cell research. Newt Gingrich = Cheating on his wives and what do you think he does with his country? He pointed the finger at Clinton while he divorced his wife who had cancer so he could marry the cute chick who was working for him. New Gingrich said he was sorry…yeah but he’s still with the “other woman” now isn’t he? Ron Paul = Getting Rid of the Federal Reserve Bankrupters. Ron Paul = Getting rid of the EPA, Department of Education, HUD, Department of the Interior, and abolishing the Transportation Security administration. Ron Paul = Fair Tax or Flat Tax but not without abolishing the 16th Amendment. Ron Paul = A Sound Economy without causing endless wars. You’re not safer starting wars. Ron Paul = Getting Rid of the Capital Gains Tax, and Tax on Tips, as well as no Taxes on people with Terminal Illness or heavy Medical Bills. Go to his website, and stop listening to the pundits.

Some of the reasons I refuse to vote for Ron Paul. He believes in the 9/11 conspiracy (so far out, this reason alone would make me not vote for him), he is extremely soft on defense, is against America standing with Israel (who is our only ally in the Middle East), etc. etc. etc. P.S. If he runs as an Independent, he will screw America and OBAMA will win re-election.

Ron Paul has said that he is not a truther multiple times. Ron Paul is for a strong National DEFENSE (even Reagan said so), not military adventurism, which is bankrupting America. If you cared to study Reagan’s stand on defense, they are the most similar to Ron Paul’s. Finally, we don’t need to “stand with Israel.” Our foreign policy harms Israel, becaus we steal her soveriegnty, while giving her enemies financial aid, which actually costs Israel more!

Well done Wonder Woman, the thing is the folks that dislike Ron are just plain lazy to the point of believing everything thier told and not educating themselves. Point being is that anyone that truly reads and studies the Constitution and the writtings of our founding fathers becomes a Pauly, because if your not lazy and stupid and do some true educating of themselves would be a Libertarian. Remember 2/3rds of Congress must be the ones to send Americans to die not the prez. Could you think about how much better off the world would be if Congress done its’ job. Article 1 section 8 and 9. learn it and live by it folks and we will become great again. If not we will perish. Wilson progressive =WWI, FRD progressive=WWII, and the obywan progressive=WWIII. Syria, Iran, China, and Russia. just waiting on the Great assassin obywan to make his move. Do you really want to have more Americans die for a Holy War/ Crusade. 2/3rds people 2/3rds.

I am a Catholic, Conservative Republican, and patriotic. I have been a some-time supporter of the Tea Party and believe in many of the principles espoused by them. However one thing has alienated me from the Tea Party. That is it’s support of Ron Paul.
It is beyond me why any person claiming to be Christian, conservative and of at least average intelligence would support a mentally unstable person like Ron Paul. I have heard Ron Paul suggest that we grow hemp to solve our energy issues??????????? He wants to legalize drugs. He thinks that being “nice” to Iran while they threaten us and our ally Israel with nuclear weapons, and this should be the basis for our foreign policy. He voted with the depraved Barney Frank and the liberal Democrats to Homosexualize our military. This position especially is indefensible for someone who is supposed to be Christian and pro-life (no same sex union can produce life, only death) Beyond all of the obvious problems with this practice such as sensitivity training and disruption of comradery and cohesion necessary for military units, imagine the added fear on the battle field of touching the blood of other soldiers who may be HIV infected? Remember the homosexual who sold our secrets to Wickileaks because he was distraught over his cross-dressing boyfriend dumping him????
Remember we are voting for a Commander-In-Chief. Regan was correct in saying the way to Peace is through Strength. The biggest, strongest kid in school can afford to be “nice” to everyone, he is not going to get bullied. Clinton emaciated our military when the Republicans forced him to balance the budget, cutting nearly nothing else. Obama is trying the same.

Ron Paul only said, if you get rid of homosexual behavior in the military, you should also get rid of heterosexual behavior in the military, which is going on as we speak. He’s not for homosexualizing our military. While I don’t like Marijuana, everyone smokes it anyway. How many people in my neighobrhood smoke it? Probably more than half the neighborhood. I don’t drink or smoke either. Alcohol is legal, and just as harmful, if not more harmful than marijuana. Liver Disease and Heart Disease, and beaten wives and children are a result of alcoholism. Marijuana makes everyone a dope, but he doesn’t see the need to prohibit it. You saw what happened during the Prohibition. All the criminals got ahold of the alcohol distribution, and the Mafia controlled the Alcohol. The same is happening with marijuana. If it were legalized, it could be controlled. You could put restrictions on it, as well as you do with Whiskey, etc. The young people can get it anywhere, how’s keeping it illegal helping that one. It’s just not working at all. Enroll your kids in homeschool or private school and keep them out of the Public School Systems. Ron Paul is for Homeschooling also. He’s not the criminal you paint him to be. He’s also not crazy. Israel could easily beat Iran, as they’ve got nuclear weapons, while Iran doesn’t. They also have a better military. Don’t sell Ron Paul short on your distorted opinion on his views. No one is honest here. They are all deceiving you. If abortion were prohibited or decried as the Bubble Bursters have been, abortion would have been eradicated. Also, I’m a Catholic too, and I believe in the TEn Commandments. I’ve also emailed Ron Paul about his opinions and told him the facts. I believe he will listen eventually. If you elected Ron Paul, you get Rand Paul, who is his better half. Rand Paul is the epitome of the best America has to offer.
