Unfortunately, one thing you'll learn as you get older is that while being principled is always important, compromise is as well. Ralph Nader and Ross Perot are polar examples of how being tied in to an unelectable candidate can hurt your big picture. I only hope you throw your passion for Ron Paul towards someone running in November. That's why candidates dropping out endorse someone. Saying they both suck and I'm not voting doesn't work

The only alternative to my dilemna is to avoid voting at all. I just can't do that, though... I believe that if one doesn't vote, then that person has no room to complain about the current state of affairs. Voting is really our only way to 'voice our opinion' and I think it's scary that more Americans don't care.

I used to read Ron Paul's own Newsletters
because I had an aquaintance in Houston who thought they were funny. He really thought they were funny because he believed they were true. 1980' thru 1990's I found this stuff on various sites. Its really neat because almost everything you read about him is so positive on the internet. No wonder he has made so much money. He has used this information medium to the max. One really has to dig. So if you care: 24 May 1996 San Antonio Express-News English (Copyright 1996) A 1992 newsletter by Republican congressional candidate Ron Paul highlighted portrayals of blacks as criminally inclined and lacking sense about top political issues. Reporting on gang crime in Los Angeles, Paul commented: "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." Paul, a Surfside obstetrician who won the GOP nomination in the 14th District runoff by defeating incumbent Rep. Greg Laughlin, said Wednesday he opposed racism. He said his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time." Copyright (c) 1996 National Journal Inc. A 1992 political newsletter by former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, included portrayals of African-Americans as inclined toward crime and lacking sense about political issues, the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday. Paul, a former Libertarian Party presidential candidate who defeated Democratic-turned-Republican Rep. Greg Laughlin in the March primary, in November will face Democratic attorney Charles (Lefty) Morris, whose campaign is distributing Paul's writings. Under the headline "Terrorist Update," Paul reported on gang crime in Los Angeles and wrote, "If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." About blacks in Washington, D.C., Paul wrote, "I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." Paul said Wednesday that his comments came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time," and that he opposes racism. The Houston Chronicle story linked above contains quotes from a newsletter Mr. Paul put out in the 1980s and 1990s. It includes quotes referring to blacks as crime-prone and "fleet-footed." Mr. Paul also wrote that "By far the most powerful lobby in Washington of the bad sort is the Israeli government" and that the goal of the Zionist movement is to stifle criticism.

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." - Ron Paul, 1992 "We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such." - Ron Paul, 1992 Sorry I mistook pickpocket for fleet-footed blacks. I knew it was something like that but I could not recall. And my acquaintance hated Jews so this fit as well. There is much more. Seek. Damn I wish I had kept those xeroxed copies I would sent them to you Kentucky. I am not kidding when I say I have been following this guy for a long time. Because I could not believe someone like this could be elected back when I was your age. |

I had this same arguement with
the late Babyoyeeee or whatever that guy was. The first time he had heard of Ron Paul was due to this election also. And I also believe it is too easy to say everyone sucks and dont vote. These candidates all have some very desirable traits. Ron Paul is not in any way dumb. I just think he is nuts. I always got the feeling he wanted Texas to secede. |

They're ignoring me.
I hate that. Perhaps a large explosive device. |

What, and you don't think they're lying to us? Where have you been? Hello, Iraq war... the study that was just all over the news that said that the Bush administration had lied to the people 935 times. When multiple other countries say it and question it, yes. I think any one is a fool to be so close-minded about these things. All you have to do is read our foreign policy document. And I will not argue with you until you read it and understand its implications. Just for the record, I don't think that lie about everything. I just think it is very corrupt and that they are lying to us. Am I so wrong to question what our government is doing? Didn't you just say in a few posts back or in a different thread that our government was corrupt as well? |
