Why would any of you support ron paul. He wants to take religion out of government and give our country to the heathen atheists. And Abortion would be legal if he ever gets his way.

 

 

Uh, no it wouldn't. You need to read some more about who Ron Paul is and what he stands for.

Missing GOP ballots counted in Nev. after months

 

 

The Associated Press

Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009 | 3:57 p.m.

Eighteen months later, Nevada Republicans have completed a count of all delegate ballots from last year's state convention.

A group of disaffected Republicans says it feels vindicated after a Friday night count of missing ballots from the April 2008 gathering showed three delegates for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul should have been sent to the national convention.

Paul supporters said they felt party leaders cheated them out of a place at the national convention when they abruptly recessed the convention before delegate ballots from the state's 2nd Congressional District could be counted. The district was allowed to choose three of the state's 34 delegates to the national convention.

The convention in Reno ended after Paul supporters won a rule change that allowed them to vote Paul delegates to the convention.

"It's good to get it done," said Wayne Terhune, a Paul supporter. "It's nice to be vindicated. The fact the three Ron Paul people won indicates that might have been the reason they shut down the convention."

Party leaders say the count will have no impact on the state's role in nominating U.S. Sen. John McCain as the party's presidential nominee last year.

But they said they hope it brings closure to Paul supporters and others who had pressed for the count.

"This should have been done a long time ago," said Nancy Ernaut, state party chairwoman.

About 25 Republicans gathered at the party's Washoe County headquarters to count ballots that had spent the last 18 months locked in a casino cashier cage at the Peppermill, where the convention was held.

The count showed Paul delegate Robert Terhune won the most votes in the 2nd Congressional District, with 288. Paul supporters Marla Criss and Pat Kerby had 283 votes each.

Controversy over the state convention prompted Paul supporters to later hold an insurgent state convention, where Paul won most of the national convention delegates.

A Nevada GOP committee appointed another delegation, mostly prominent party regulars and contributors.

A key Republican National Committee panel then recommended a compromise list of delegates and said it was troubled by the "ineptness" of the Nevada GOP.

Paul supporters blame then-state GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden for the state convention flap and hope to make it an issue in the U.S. Senate race.

Lowden is one of about a dozen Republicans vying for the seat held by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Daily Bell: What is the future of the Ron Paul freedom movement in your view?

 

Rockwell: This much is clear: the Paul movement has made a huge difference in bringing people to libertarian ideas. In some way, there is an element of tragedy in that it takes politics to wake people up. Ideally, people would discover the ideas of liberty through other means. Ron Paul agrees with this observation, by the way. He sees himself as an educator first. He chose politics because, for him, it was an effective route for his larger and more important goal. And what an extraordinary job he has done, in his writing and speaking and personal example for almost four decades. He has brought vast numbers of people into the light. That was always his dream. I should add that his early support was very important in the Institute's success. We are honored to have him as our Distinguished Counselor.

he won a CPAC poll concerning who Republican voters would like to see become the next President of the United States.

 

i'm not for Republicans or Democrats whatsoever, and I can see how some view Ron Paul as more right-leaning then left, however if the Republicans are poised to take back over after Obama I would rather see it be Ron Paul over anyone else, regardless of some of my disagreements on his personal views he would follow our constitution and do a lot of fixing to this nation's policies.

yea, i guess it's worse to drill for oil on your own property rather than going over seas and bombing/killing people for it right?

That is not the argument i am making Zig. I am a single issue voter and that issue being the health of our natural world. While i have love for his anti-war, anti-patriot act views and his opposition to the war on drugs, Ron Paul has consistently voted against pro-environment, anti-pollution legislation.

Ron Paul:

NO on tax incentives for energy production and conservation

NO on criminalizing oil cartels like OPEC

NO on tax incentives for renewable energy

NO on starting implementation of Kyoto Protocol

NO on increasing AMTRAK funding

NO on enforcing limits on CO2 global warming pollution

 

Anti-environment, anti-choice, against international justice, Ron Paul is just another right wing kook.

Let me ask you a question, does your concern for the health of our natural world outweigh your concern for our individual personal liberty?

Ron Paul likes to believe that Government regulation is unneeded and the free-market will fix itself. That could be true, but only in the case that we would have an educated consumer. Most Americans are stupid and pretty much develop all of their viewpoints upon what they see on T.V. without ever checking the facts.

YES. I don't believe corporations should be free to abuse the natural world that we all share.

 

well then there you have it, that is why you misunderstand Ron Paul. when you put the "safety" of the planet above even your own individual safety, or in this instance, the safety of human freedom and liberty, then you are not going to be able to comprehend why it is that Ron Paul is voting no against these acts which you believe to be saving the planet.

 

let me ask you another question, do you believe the human species is a plague on this planet and only causes harm to the state of nature? for that reason, if you agree, do you think that this planet should be depopulated? i'm interested to know if i've pretty much gathered where you are coming from...
