Ron Paul’s Gunpowder Plot

Yeh, that’s right, send your hard-earned money to a guy that doesn’t give ONE IOTA about helping the poor & middle class (children, adults, nor seniors) w/affordable healthcare!!!

Ron Paul is the only thing that can save our country from the special interests and big government spenders.
I am tired of sending my hard earned money to the fat cats in washington who fight over taxpayers money and send a small fraction of it back to save face in their “social programs” and invite more illegal aliens to sign up for free handouts.

this is a response to poster: sayno
You’re very ill informed (‘scuse the pun) – Ron Paul is the only one with a feasible plan for Health Care and if you listened to anything at all that he has had to say, he is the only Candidate who really cares about what is and what will happen to the poor and middle class.
He is the only one who’s word you can trust.
Unless you don’t care at all for the Constitution ??

He DOES want to spend the money we have overseas and actually make WHOLE social security and medicare! So there :-)~
And as far as tort, he wants to CLOSE the lobby doors, which is what gives the criminal companies a red carpet for the illegal pushing of harmful drugs on our streets. And he wants to open up the university-business enterprise of true free market (not corporate welfarism we’ve experienced), thereby making good, safe drugs available by choice, not by an HMO, driven by lobby and special interests. Anyone remember Vioxx?
There are many more constructive ways to deal with medicine and taking care of the needy. You need only to look at his record AND example. There is a larger, more profound reasoning to his positions – and they do NOT certainly include putting the poor or needy on the street.
He does not want to do things overnight. In fact, he has NEVER voted to pull money out of social security OR medicare – it’s unconstitutional – and -again, he wants to make them whole.
only then, institute a lobby-free market system that WILL provide cheap, competitive, even compassionate medicine. I remember church hospitals, affordable medicine, and doctor’s house calls. And hypocratic oaths.
Your statements are derisive and shortsided.

You socialists need to stop misrepresenting Paul. It’s not that he “doesn’t care” about the needy, it’s that he doesn’t want a bloated, wasteful, corrupt government middleman stealing YOUR money and supposedly divvying it up in your name. And bear in mind that if the states want to do that, they’ll still be able to. He is running for one Presidency, not 50 Governorships. The entire premise of his politics is that the federal government is too big, and that the states should be making these decisions. This keeps decisions LOCAL, with the people who will have to abide by them. Funnily enough, the Constitution agrees with Paul.

I do believe sayNo2drno is speaking out of his butt. How does he know whether Dr. Paul gives one iota or two iotas about the poor? Oh, I know. Because Ron Paul doesn’t want to use the power of government to confiscate people’s money and then redistribute it to whomever the government deems needy, he must not care for the poor. I wonder if sayNO knows that Dr. Paul gave his services to the poor instead of taking Medicaid money. Actions speak louder than socialist rhetoric.

I find it amusing how hostile people are towards Ron Paul. They spread UN-true facts and become almost belligerent. If Paul is as minimal as you say, then why so hostile? why so worried? Wake up! Educate yourself! Do you always do what your told?

Remember, Remember, Give all you can on any day. The 5th of November is as good as any other! I think it started because of the anti fascist fiction movie “V for Vendetta”. Many people see our society as reflecting what they saw in that movie. This is a statement to reject fascism, not embrace Guy Fawkes.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Freedom, Liberty, Financial Soundness and Responsibility.
His reasoning is sound, and his manner his of a truly gentle and concerned man. Not the kind of guy who hates anyone, let alone the poor. I have met the man, and he is Real, he is Honest, he really should be our President!
We can’t stop there, we have to get active at all levels and only elect persons of high integrity to all offices. We must remove the cancer in Washington, stop voting for talking heads, demand real people as representatives. Like Ron Paul.

SayNO2drno, if the Founders of this country wanted the Federal government to be charity, you would find authority for such in the Constitution. Not only do you not find it in the Constitution, you find in places like Ammendment 10 of the Bill of Rights that the intended role for the Federal government was that it should do very little. Ron Paul understands this. He also has taken the time to study libertarian philosophy (you know…liberty?…like the Statue of Liberty?) and Austrian economics. There are easy to understand primers for both in the marketplace. Get a hold of some and read them. You’ll quickly learn that the issues involved are larger than you currently perceive them to be.

Ron Paul is the only sensible candidate running. Everyone else promises more spending, more spending, more spending. We can’t even afford our current obligations. We borrow and “print” the money which is driving massive price inflation that REALLY hurts the poor and middle class.
We also pay interest on the phony money created by the Fed and loaned to the government. The rich bankers get richer – stealing our wealth – it’s reverse Robin Hood. Ron Paul wants to stop them!

1) About 5 of the 20,000 contributors to the Nov 5 event associate in any way with Guy Fawukes or whatever his name is.
2) Nov 5 is celebrated as THE FOILING OF THE BOMB PLOT. The bomb is not celebrated. The *foiling* of the plot is celebrated on Nov 5 in Britain.
UNDERSTAND THIS?

Oh, and I forgot to mention:
3) Very few people actually pledged to donate anything until the website removed all the Guy Fawkes references were removed from the donations page! The only references left are those to Nov 5, a day celebrated in Britain as the *FOILING* of the gunpowder plot.

Street Mugger: Give me your money or else!
Citizen: Yikes!
Mugger: Well….you don’t have to give me all of it. Give me about 45% of it, and make it snappy!
Citizen: 45%?
Mugger: Yes…well, you see, I like to think of myself as benevolent. I’ll take only 45%…for now. And I don’t want it all for myself. I want to use most of it for “good” stuff. You know…charity work. I feel that I can do such things far better than you can. My landlord is sick and needs some medicine, and the postman’s kid needs help funding for a community college class. Sure, I’m robbing you, but don’t you feel better about it now?
Citizen: Well, I was going to use that money to buy something at the deli, and by so doing help provide jobs and a livelihood for the employees there, thus allowing them to buy medicine and schooling for themselves and for their children. Isn’t that charitable? Wouldn’t I be performing a moral good?
Mugger: Not from where I’m standing…and I’m the one holding the gun! Now, like I said…Cough it up!…OR ELSE!!!
(Thus endeth the moral lesson for the day.)
VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!

James, Dr. Paul would not argue against having fire and police departments; I think he would object if they were run by the federal government. Do you remember their response during Katrina. The federal government was set up in our Constitution to take care of things, like national defense, that people and communities can’t take care of on their own. The local level is where you should look for solutions to health care issues (that were largely created by the federal government’s meddling).

why don’t you read how Chicago was rebuilt after the fire of 1871. No government intervention. Donations of supplies from across the country came in and businessmen and private businesses planned and rebuilt the city and in the process created Grant Park. I think private citizens can get by just fine when they know someone else won’t do it for them.

Royce,
No! It’s not the efforts of a consistently principled man like Ron Paul that will put Hillary in office. It’s the efforts of his Republican competitors — those that ignore our precious Constitution — that will put her in office. Ron Paul is not the one who should change. Rather, it’s the candidates who choose to ignore what America is all about that should change. Don’t you get it? We, the supporters of Ron Paul, want a proper, SMALL federal government! You perceive the two sides of the fight as the Republicans vs. Democrats. We Ron Paul supporters — the patriotic lovers of liberty — see the two sides of the fight as the big government Republicrats vs. small government champion Ron Paul. Never vote for what you perceive as the lesser of evils. You’ll only ever get evil that way. It’s only when people start demanding what they want that they’ll ever get it. Vote for the morally good. Vote for Ron Paul.

I didn’t know how much trouble this country is in until I read the comments of the Paulbots. Double their order of tinfoil or maybe the nut from Ohio will send the mothership to pick all of you up. It’s a good thing most of you are already locked away in a rubber room or you would hurt yourselves. Between Kucinich and Paul they have gathered so many nuts the squirrel will starve this winter.

I’m tired of giving 25% or more of my hard earned income to the IRS to be used to support this illegal war. I’m tired of watching the “federal reserve” i.e private bank manipulate the currency printing money out of thin air. Wake Up! Gold is hitting all time highs, oil is hitting all times highs, foreclosures at all time highs, and it now OK to torture, while your right to have an attorney is not longer guaranteed. I going to donate on November the 5th to help Ron Paul with the media bomb that is needed to wake up the masses.

1. “spoiler”?? Ron Paul ain’t looking to spoil ANYTHING. He’s looking to WIN.
2. why the superfluous “Libertarian Republican”? The same is not done for the “Green Democrat” Al Gore, the “Liberal Republican” Rudy Julie Annie, or the “Democrat Independent” Joe Lieberman!
The attempts by the MSM to marginalize Ron Paul continue…

You know I’d be here. Add my name to the list of 15,000 plus and lets get this on the road! Ron Paul really is feared by the lazy, greedy, nation busting bunch that “we know who” has selcted to “run” for both parties. We need to ‘run’ them out of town. CNN online today published that Obama missed the SCHIP vote. Later in the article it mentions others in the election that did as well. Hillary Clinton is one of them and the front runner – but is mentioned in the headline? Obama. $150 million down the drain and Hillary sent after more money after the last debate. Bought “news” media “journalists” and mogals.

Hysterical.. no statement with substance. I suppose if you did a little research you would learn. Sigh.. I must be silly to think you would form your opinions around substance.
Who should we vote for then? Who has a better record fighting for Americans and a better plan for America? You dont want change do you? You think we can keep this government propped up on borrowed money forever?
You are the one wearing the tin foil hat, crying ‘Terrorist’ and ‘War’. Some solution to our problems. Look to Big Brother because Big Brother does such a great job at protecting us. (9/11, Cali wildfires and Katrina)
The CIA, FBI and NSA couldnt stop 19 from hijacking our planes. We invade two nations and cant catch the leader, even though we know where he is at. Come on folks.. WAKE UP!

Most intelligent people can see right through the mainstream media’s bias against Ron Paul. “What about the polls?”, you ask. As someone who’s been in the business, I know you can make a poll result look anyway you want. All you have to do is call or not call on people in a certain demographic group to achieve your desired result. You can see the man has support. He’s won ALL of the viewer call-in polls in ALL of the GOP debates he’s been in. People everywhere are in the street, and on the Net, supporting him like no other. And his campaign chest (17 mil+) is growing daily, and not from huge corporate donations like the other GOP and Democratic party candidates get from defense contractors and bankers, but from grass root supporters who give what little they can afford–$5, $10, whatever. This is a 21st Century political revolution, my friends, and the Oligarchs or on the defensive. Ignore what the media network giants like CBS tell you. They sold-out to the status quo decades ago. This man has some major grass roots support across this country. Millions of Americans believe he is our only hope to restore peace, prosperity and freedom in this country. Presidential candidates with the personal integrity and proven track record of adherance to The Constitution Congressman, Paul has always demonstrated only come around only once in a lifetime, if we’re lucky. The stakes are too high. The cause of freedom is too important. Get off your couch, put the remote down and support Ron Paul!

Ron Paul is the best candidate I have ever supported. I have done 3 things for the first time since supporting this
man.
1. I donated money to a presidential candidate
2. Held a sign on a street corner in support of the good Dr.
3. I have become a libertarian which simply means believe in Liberty!
Like Ron Paul says this campaign is about Freedom, Peace and Prosperity!
Ron Paul for President!

The top Dem wants socialized health care, that would be a HUGE mistake. It sounds good, but when you look deep into the countries that have it, you find they don’t like it and private health care is everywhere.
I do not want to live in a socialist country, if I did, I would have moved years ago.
The top Rep candidates want to blow up the middle east and take over the world.
I do not want to live in an empire. We are quickly becoming this with troops all over the world occupying countries we have no business being in.
How can I vote for either one. If Ron Paul does not make it past the primary, I will be forced to vote 3rd party.

Mr. Wolf,
Thank you for the fascinating historical background that establishes the symbolism of November 5th. Until now, I had assumed that it had been chosen randomly or that it had some vague connection to something in popular culture.
Dr. Paul may or may not reach the $12M mark, but he will certainly raise more than enough to continue to increase awareness about his campaign and its constitutional message.

Ron Paul is the only canidate that uses the constitution,and bill of rights,the principals this country was founded on,as his platform.Our GOD GIVEN BIRTHRIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS!THE FREEDOMS WE have that are slowly being upsurped by those in govenment,that are supposed to work for us!WAKE UP!”Rightfull liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law”because law is often but,the tyrants will,and always so when it violates the rights of an individual” Thomas Jefferson

Dr. Ron Paul is the only man running right now who can save this country. I’ll be donating to him until he is elected president next year.

sayNO2drno I guess I need to school you too! You are wrong about all of what you said!
Do you even have any kind of supporting data?! I think not! I guess you like working for months out of the year to pay your income tax!!! Cause thats how much you work just to pay the government so they can pay off the interest for the money they borrow from the elitist bankers!!
I am sure you already knew that though! Thats what I like about you dude, Your attention to detail!
RON PAUL FOR PRES , SEMPER FI!!!

To all of you out there that say negative things about Ron Paul, I have this to say: Do yourself a favor; look at American history, take a look at what Ron Paul’s web site, his policy’s that he stands behind, look at the You Tube video’s before you draw your conclusion on him. If you want to be controlled and be looked after by the government go ahead vote for the other candidates, give them the power to do whatever they want. On the other hand you could support Ron Paul SAVE AMERICA RESTORE LIBERTY AND THE CONSTITUTION.
Personally I believe the answer to America’s political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America’s founders. I believe that being free and independent is a great way to live. I want a system which encourages all people to choose what they want from life; that lets them live, love, work, play, and dream their own way. I look forward to a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others. I believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized. As recently as the 1960s, low-cost health insurance was available to virtually everyone in America – including people with existing medical problems. Doctors made house calls. A hospital stay cost only a few days’ pay. Charity hospitals were available to take care of families who could not afford to pay for healthcare.
Since then the federal government has increasingly intervened through Medicare, Medicaid, the HMO Act and tens of thousands of regulations on doctors, hospitals and health-insurance companies. Today, more than 50 percent of all healthcare dollars are spent by the government. Health insurance costs are skyrocketing. Government health programs are heading for bankruptcy. Politicians continue to pile on the regulations.
Socialism does not work; take a look at England, the taxes they pay: 40% on their wages, 17.5% on merchandise, and 84% on gas for what a healthcare system that people have to sit on waiting lists for 18 months to have an operation.
If you love your country and you believe in liberty, seriously do some research and don’t listern to the main stream media on this issue. – My name is James and I am an English man living legally here in the USA.

I love what I’m reading here. Great posts people. Keep it up.

Look up Japan baby dies emergency room on a news search engine.
Health care price controls led to shortages which leads to hospitals turning ambulances away.
The government has *never* given us a single program that functions properly! Why in the world should we give them permission to start another one?
If they were subcontractors, we would have fired them long ago.
Isn’t insanity sometimes defined as the act of repeating the same mistake over and over again, yet expecting a different outcome?

If he doesn’t know the difference between local, state and federal Goverments I don’t think anyone has that kind of time to explain it here in a fashion that he this person would be able to understand.

People need to grow up and start taking responsibility for their own health, their own economics and their own politics. Consider how much money you will save in 2009 when Ron Paul outlaws the IRS and income tax.

If Ron Paul doesn’t win… one day in the near future, we will have to vote from the roof tops!!!

sayNO2drno…you think that a man who delivered 4000 babies, was a doctor for years, and is one of the most finanically responsible candidates we have ever seen would be against those things? You couldnt be more wrong if you tried.
Dr. Paul is THE only candidate in 2008 (or for the recent past) who is responsible, trustworth, and will actually do good for the country.

Our nation was founded by a small group of ideologically motivated radicals who like those conspirators on that fateful day were willing to fight, to kill, and to die for the cause of intellectual, social, and economic liberty in the face of tyranny and oppression.
They too by modern standards were in some ways deeply flawed, and very much products of their time, with all that involved.
November 5th symbolizes this defiant, revolutionary spirit in the face of oppression, corruption, and tyranny that drives us still today as we now act through non-violent means to ignite a symbolic explosion of freedom across the bow of the political establishment to set the hearts and minds of the nation on fire with the cause of liberty.
And it is a symbol that can not be hijacked like the false patriotism of candidates like Giuliani, Thompson, and Clinton.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November!

Want to know about a candidate for 08, well I will tell you about RON PAUL the only one for 08 ((the only one for 08
The hope for America

call me old fashioned but i still believe in the constitution,the sanctity of human life,freedom,America,and that my money should be worth something.the dollar is worth less every day.we elected a bunch of democrats(yeah me too!!) to end a war and now they say it may take 6 to 10 more years. i want it ended now. i want to concentrate on
America,not iraq,iran,afghanistan,south korea,japan,germany,and any where else we have people doing questionable things in countries we cannot afford to spend money on.why do we have people in japan.we owe them over a trillion dollars.seems they could afford their own army.
like someone above said i am more political this election than ever. and its because we are at a crossroads in this country and the stuff is about to hit the fan.ron paul is the only candidate that can beat clinton.and god help you if you think national healthcare is free health care.it will cost you. you will end up paying for something through the nose that is less than you thought it was and regretting every minute of it. of course that’s government now isn’t it.
we cannot afford anyone else except ron paul(literally).WE CANNOT BE AFRAID OF FREEDOM!!!!!
GO FREEDOM!!!GO RON PAUL!!!!

On pages 126-127 of “The 2006 Financial Report of the United States Government” it tells the true amount of money needed in the bank TODAY in order to fund Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid:
“The total resources needed for all the programs sums to almost…$86 trillion in present value terms.”
The leading expert on the true national debt is Prof. Kent Smetters, of the Wharton school of business. Here’s what he said at an AEI forum on C-Span,
March 25,2005:
“We’re in the hole $82 trillion dollars. Now, no one understands
$82 trillion dollars. It’s about twice the size of all the entire capital
stock of the U.S. — all homes, buildings, land, consumer durables.”
His sarcastic but true solution:
“…that will solve the problem if we’re willing to triple this 15.4% combined employer, employee payroll [FICA] tax immediately and forever.”
The total national debt increased every year Bill Clinton was in office. There
was NEVER a budget surplus. The total national debt has increased every year since 1960!(Google, “Public debt to the penny historical information.”)
While Bill Clinton was commander in chief, the Pentagon’s books had $7 trillion dollars in mistakes! And $2.3
trillion was simply missing! Some surplus!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha
(Data obtained from AP writer John M. Donnelly’s article, “Pentagon Finances in Disarray,” March 4,2000.)
In early debates, Hillary said, “Six years ago, we had a balanced budget and a surplus.” THAT IS A FRAUDULENT STATEMENT
Rep Paul Ryan, ranking member of the house budget committee, was on
C-Span’s Washington Journal Feb. 6, 2007. He stated, and I quote:
“The way we do the accounting in the federal government, if you were an American corporation, you’d be in jail if you were doing your accounting that way.” AND THAT’S WHERE HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON BELONG — IN JAIL!!!!!!
The social security trust fund is a fraudulent ponzi scheme. Because congress could never embezzle all the money if it was a legal “trust fund.”
Ron Paul is Hope for America !!!!!!!!
Sound money – Freedom – Liberty – Prosperity and Peace.

George Washington.
Thomas Jefferson.
Ronald Ernest Paul.
‘Nuff said.
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT, 2008.

God bless Ron Paul! He has come to destroy every last vestige of government and restore us to our rightful state of nature where we will prey on each other like ravenous wolves as God and the Holy Founding Fathers intended! Read the Constitution — it says “the right of the people to alter or abolish government and establish a dog-eat-dog world” right in the thing! The time has come to free ourselves and establish Darwinian Nation! Let anarchy thrive! Governments are for the weak and cowardly! Vote for Ron Paul — and may the last one breathing feast upon the raw flesh of the weaker and less fortunate!

I am amazed at the “sound bite” mentality of some of the posters on here. You appear to like “fast food” politics. Well you won’t get that from Ron Paul.. Listen to his full explanation on “HOW” he intends to do what he says.
Did you know he wants to have free open enterprise competition between natural remedies and the drug companies who got the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS TO RESTRICT AND CONTROL THEM AND PUT THOSE REMEDIES UNDER CONTROL OF THE FDA???? He wants the FDA out of it and allow INDIVIDUALS TO DETERMINE THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE CHOICES. How you can you condemn that, its so much cheaper than drugs.
I know, I am one of them who is now trapped in the drug industry with drugs I can’t afford and yet i can’t use the natural one cause they have regulated them so we can get the advice and choices we need naturally.
He is the only one that supports the relationship between a patient and his doctor rather than corporate insurance companies and big gov dictating that relationship. Get a clue you guys.

Ron Paul is for freedom!!
Canadian healthcare is good and a third of the cost of ours-I lived there 6 years. Ours could be even less expensive if we got the govt/corporate fascist out and went to a freely competitive market.

Someone mentioned the money will not get Ron Paul elected…
Your right… We the people will elect him an we’re just getting started… This is the American Revolution 2.0.. It will not be televised it will downloaded!
Ron Paul will be our next President! Get used to it!!!

Why is the mainstream so disparate of the truth?
Vote Ron Paul or America will be only a memory.

That site I posted has scored the candidates on how their views coincided with the 20 different topics.
When you take a total score of ALL 20 topics you come up with the stats I posted earlier.
We NEED A Doctor To HEAL Our Country,
Freedom4America

Dr. Paul had better spend the money on early advertising or else there won’t be any need to spend the money … when it is too late! I will be involved on November 5th; hopefully, it will be enough for the major media outlets to sit up and take notice.

It cracks me up when neocon shills like Frank Luntz, SayNo2DrNo and scrapiron can’t touch any of Dr. Paul’s positions logically, so they resort to transparent ad hominim attacks, not only on him but also the millions of Americans fed up with the criminals running this government. No other candidate running in either party would do anything to stop the runaway inflation caused by the Fed, the mass exporting of jobs, or the continued fleecing of the squeezed to the breaking point poor and middle class of this country. The fact that he wants to end this illegal, unconstitional war in Iraq killing our soldiers and innocent Iraqis and keeping oil prices soaring out of control, and undo the Nazi-like erosion of our constitutional rights that have taken place under the Bush regime are a bonus. How about he is the only candidate who will save this nation from Bankruptcy.
The only tin hat wearers are the neocon cheerleaders. Albert Einstein told us the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Ron Paul is the only sane one of the bunch.

I don’t know how you are supposed to back up something when some calls you a lier.
I was in debate with a guy on here about the healthcare system in England because it is socialized medicine people wait up to 18 months to get treatment. He came back and called me a lier. So I posted URL’s regarding it and abc took them down.
Support Ron Paul people Google his name

When they took their guns in New Orleans did any one cry foul from the congress? Where was the A.C.L.U?? removing god from society. Do you think politicians care about our little vote?NO WAY!! But their is one that does RON PAUL and he has my money and time.GOD BLESS AMERICA again will mean something when he is elected.

Just went to a Ron Paul meet-up and were waiving signs out near a vaery busy intersection in town and it was a BLAST!!!….WE had hundreds of people honk and gave us ‘thumbs up!’ There was about 20 people were all great people….Ron Paul has the support of America !!!!!!

I will vote for Dr. Paul even if I have to write him in.
He has more honor and integrity than all the other candidates combined.
If the Constitution matters to you, Ron Paul is the only logical choice.
It’s time for honesty in government. Who wants to remain a debt slave to the international banksters?

Ron Paul has raised more money than any other republican online in one day how is this not news?!? Oh well were on pace to raise about 4 million dollars in 1 single day!

Libertarian Republican spoiler who wants to drastically change the way government runs in Washington.
Would agree with the fact that he wants to drastically change the way government runs Washington, spoiler… not at all. There comes a time when even the media should take the American public serious… really now!

A comment about fire and rescue services:
I live in rural St.Mary’s County where our fire and rescue services are all volunteer.My 16-year old son was in a horrible fiery car accident last April. Thanks to citizen heroes who stopped to help,volunteer rescue personnel on the local town level, and Maryland State Trooper helicopters, along with the grace of God, my son returned to school before the end of the year.I voted for Ron when he ran for President as a Libertarian,and I’ll be voting for him again. He has never broken his word in a long Political career.I have met him personally, years ago, and he is FOR REAL.

Anyone who thinks there will be even more free health care is insane. Medicaid and Medicare, along with Social Security are broke. The United States is broke. That’s the result of the pryamid sham of socialism. Let’s see…everybody gets robbed by the elites, then the elites return some of the loot back to the masses. Ask a socialist where the money will come from and they never have answer. They depend on the same crooks they rail against to print more money!
Ron Paul walks his talk. He treated his own patients according to their ability to pay, and some for free. While the socialists keep living the credit card dream, others of us are observing the world wide economic collapse. If I have an extra 5 bucks after getting killed at the grocery store, it’s going to the Ron Paul campaign.
Go Ron Paul!

I support Ron Paul for much of what he is addressing concerning foreign policy, reforming taxes and the Federal Reserve System. However, I have my doubts about the claim that free market capitalism has an intelligent fair mind of it own. This philosophy is what J.P. Morgan and the Rockefellers believed in. It is the same philosophy which Melton Friedman preached over most of the past century. It is the philosophy (laissez-faire) that allowed the big Whigs and fat cats to set foot into our government and lead us to destructive wars. The free market is always driven by the most fit and most capable which is the equivocal of Social Darwinism. The government supervised closely by democratic people serve as the checks and balances for ruthless free market swings. Indeed the government must intervene when the distribution of wealth is so outrageously out of proportion that national resources and currency stops to circulate in the hands of the disfranchised and the poor. That has been said, this must be exercised with a great caution. Most often the government with its wasteful and over-stretched bureaucracy defeats the purpose. It is the government duty to look out for the broken wing and lift them out of poverty. That does not necessarily mean nailing them down into welfare-ism. The government must provide adequate healthcare, education, and job training to get those people back into the race. Most often than not, poor people came from poor families and grew up as poor children with limited resources for good education and socioeconomic promise. It is not fair to shun these people away and say: deal with your own problems; we have nothing to do with you. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that good hearted individuals would give the support to the poor or to imagine that the desperate homeless borderline would just get up on their own. I am sorry Ron. I love most of what you are calling for, but I must disagree with you on that one. The Keynesian economics is not that bad. Thinking that we are not capitalist enough would not make our life any better. The greed of the corporate on one hand and the collapse of the small businesses on the other is what got us today in this economic mess. I am sure Ron Paul is a man of integrity and I do not doubt him as a good and charitable person who would help his patients when they can not afford it. However, leaving the fate of the poor at the mercy of sporadic ad hoc kindness of few good people and organizations is not a solution to the problem.
