    Actually, I'm stating a fact. For instance, you do not know what a loan is.

    I've had 5 individual Ron Paul clones post me that video. And on other issues about Ron Paul that they didn't agree with me on, the clones sent the other videos that are the same. You mean you can't think for yourself?

    Not hardly, that could have been anybody who used that weak line about "I Like Ron Paul except for his foreign policy" this time it just happened to be you.

    The more obvious answer would be to just say that's just a weak argument and as the video pointed out its just playing party politics and you can't think for yourself. You said for yourself, you don't care for the wars in the middle east, just you think we should be fighting some hegemonic war elsewhere.

    Its reminds me of a monster truck picture going around on facebook right now, where it say's "Nice truck, sorry about you're penis." Is that more like YOUR story RiseAgainst?

    I think the prevalence of youtube on the internet is making it easier for mindless cults to expand due to brainwashing whatever tools happen to come their way. Talk to me otherwise I'll just find out who made that video and debate him. No sense debating his mindslave.

    We are done here, I just found that video, remembered what you said. I try to be efficient, why go over this when he went over it so well the first time?

    But we are done here, I see you are just trolling the Ron Paul thread here, for some reason?

    Be efficient then. Think for yourself instead of walking your party (RP is his own party effectively) line by posting party approved videos and using them to speak for you. If you can't explain a concept you don't understand it in the first place.

    Look, I would never vote for Ron Paul. Seriously, there are just too many things on which I vehemently disagree with him. But I started a thread long ago entitled "Why I respect Ron Paul Supporters" so it's not like I don't understand why someone would vote for him, no matter how the nomination goes.

    you really don't know what you're talking about

    in 1988 ron paul said, "I anticipate, and many Austrian free market economists anticipate, that the recession that's coming will not be a recession at all but it will a depression and it will probably be bigger than the one we had in the 1930s"

    "The next president will be blamed [george h w bush] for the depression, but they shouldn’t get the blame."

    it didn't happen, there hasn't been a depression in this country in more than 70 years

    As Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'til it's over", and it ain't over yet. Or did I miss the news that everything's rosy in the Eurozone now?

    So the Fed and the tech boom delayed the day of reckoning for a while. So what? What was in play when Ron Paul made that statement is the same issue as today. If you think it isn't, tell me when everything got better and all things reset.

    Do you need a zoom lens to see beyond your nose?

    so ron paul was 100% wrong, despite any lame excuses you might offer

    23 years is more than a while, did ron paul not understand what the federal reserve does and how it works?

    you're projecting your own ignorance

    ...says the guy that doesn't know what a loan is.

    So, Ethereal is projecting his own state of mind and I'm projecting my ignorance.

    Okay. We can all see what you're projecting. :fart::fart::fart:

    you're just wrong, i know exactly what a loan is

    and i know that the federal reserve is forbidden from making loans to congress or the treasury, the fed only makes loans to banks, usually only to member banks, but it can make emergency loans to non-member banks

    the fed is able to purchase treasury securities, which is not a loan

    This is taken from the Bureau of Public Debt, the agency within the Treasury Dept. that issues government securities. THEY call it a LOAN....why can't you? Or do you know better than the guys that actually do this for a living?

    I'll put this up here one more time. I'll even make the letters big. It's a loan.....

    From the Bureau of Public Debt....

    "Our job is to borrow the money needed to operate the federal government and to account for the resulting debt. In a nutshell, we borrow by selling Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, as well as U.S. Savings Bonds; we pay interest to investors; and, when the time comes to pay back the loans, we redeem investors' securities. Every time we borrow or pay back money, it affects the outstanding debt of the United States. "

    That would be just terrific, Mr Seabee. There's just one problem. What news ?

    Do they cover the *********s or occupy wall street ? Is Mitt Romney a "first tear" candidate or is Ron Paul.

    I will agree that there is too much received opinion floating around. But even in the old days, before tv and radio, they had an editorial page. And frankly, the news media is market driven so it is we who are at fault...

    Incidentally, and please don't get angry, but using small type is just as effective as the BIG BOLD STUFF,... you know,.. less is more kind of thing..

    Bye

    Why should people lie? Ron Paul has no chance of winning any election for President. The 2 percent of the people nationwide that like him cannot elect him.

    I campaign pretty hard for Ron Paul in 08. Everyone who knows me, understands my position about Ron Paul. In 08 many of my friends and family thought I was a bit crazy. Almost all of those people are now telling me they want to vote for Ron Paul. I have been at Home Depot or the the Grocery store and random people I know walk up and tell me things like "you were right I should of paid more attention in 08".
    Make no mistake Ron Paul is winning everyday.

    Thanks for the info. I too had similar experiences when I was a frantic RP supporter in 2008. Everybody thought he was too radical to win. It seems that times are changing and RP's positions are slowly becoming more mainstream.

    Winning what.He's all theory.Like a nutty professor.He has no
    record of accomplishment in Congress.Or for Texas,of note.He's a
    Political pest.No leadership ability and no building of alliances.
    A President has to understand about how to build and fashion
    Alliances and Compartmentalize.Being President isn't just being
    different and trying out theory.Ever notice those who cotton Ron
    Paul have liitle understanding of past Presidents.

    You mean like Eliminating the Federal Reserve.What is Paul going to replace
    the fed with.A Good Ship Lollipop stand.
    The Fed serves a function.It's supposed to determine the money supply
    or M1.Regulate Interest rates so as to ward off Inflation and
    manipulation of lending rates.The Fed has served the public well
    under Bush and Reagan and yes,Clinton.
    Who cares how Private the Fed is.The Post Office is also Private.
    Private or quasi-public is good.Ron Paul supporters are THE
    easist manipulated bunch of stooges in America.
    I want to know ONE Godd@mned thing Ron Paul is noted for.
    What's his accomplishment.Talking like a Professor.

    "You mean like Eliminating the Federal Reserve.What is Paul going to replace
    the fed with.A Good Ship Lollipop stand."

    Easy to talk crap, quite another thing to back it up, regardless of how "logical" the premise is. Has anyone actually worked in a large company and tried to invoke "change"? It isn't as easy as Ron Paul suggests that it is.
