    Constitutionalist is synonymous with libertarian at the federal level.

    Then the media should be pushing for Santorum to get the nomination so that Obama can easily defeat him.

    I also supports term limits. Very strict term limits. Paulobots scream about Paul ALWAYS voting his principles. If his principles are SOOO strong, why did he continually violate his term limit principle. He TALKED many terrific ideas. He TALKED many strong stands. In 3 decades in Congress, he NEVER got even one passed.

    Your link to 'termlimits' has in its header, "Citizen legislators, not career politicians." I completely agree with that. Paul IS a career politician.

    He didn't "violate" his term limit principle.... If your child stated that they stand for not having cookies before dinner, does that mean they don't like cookies? It seems people get a clouded view of crap and don't really see the reality of concepts when it comes to politics.

    As a Congressman, it is hard to get things passed... What are you talking about? Do you just think that Republican Congressmen and women are just passing laws like passing out candy to 3 year olds in our Gov't? Is that what you think? Really?...

    I think you need to study up on your Politics a little more...

    I think trying to get term limits, by asking the very people who benefit from not having them is a futile effort to begin with. Hell if they had their way they would be elected for life, and get a 25% raise annually, but that would probably look to obvious.
     
     
    Two terms doesn't matter what elected office it is, is plenty. Do two terms as a rep and then two as a senator, then move up or get the hell out of the way.
     
     
    No elected official should be on a retirement plan either. If you can't get the right connections to get you a real job when your term is up, you must have doing something wrong all along any way.
     
    Pay raises for public officials should be placed on an open ballot not slid under other legislation at the last minute. How f(*)(*)(*)ing unethical can a bunch of crooks get??

    Ron Paul has sponsored over 700 bills in his 3 decades in Congress. He got one passed that provided a little PORK for his home district [also supposedly against Paul's principles], THAT is his resume' from 30 years in congress.

    He IS a career politician and an ineffective one.

    If you were the CEO of a business and you had a salesman that talked the "MOST OUTSTANDING SALES PRESENTATION" ever, in every sales meeting. YET never once brought in an actual sale, how long would you keep him?
    Would you keep paying him for 30 years and then promote him to your position? Not a CEO with a brain larger than that of a retarded gnat.

    I'm for 12 years TOPS. 2 terms in the Senate or 6 terms in the House or any combo to 12 years. Then GO HOME! Enter or re-enter state politics.

    Republican election fraud epidemic continues…
    The state GOP itself has stolen the state for Mitt Romney in Maine’s 2012 Caucuses. Period.

    Might Romney be the actual winner once all votes are actually cast and counted? Perhaps. But the fact is, the Maine Republican Party has purposely blocked that from happening and the apparent loser in all of this — beside the voters of Maine — is Congressman Ron Paul who, according to the official results reported by the state GOP last Saturday night, “lost” to Romney by just 194 votes.

    Adding to the outrage, the election fraud was perpetrated by the Chairman of the state’s Republican Party, Charlie Webster.

    Readers of The BRAD BLOG may well remember Webster as the man who spent months attempting to wholesale disenfranchise thousands of legal student voters in the state of Maine, on the entirely fraudulent basis that they were committing “voter fraud” because they were out-of-state students who, living in Maine and going to school there most of the year, should be, nonetheless, barred from voting there.

    Federal law clearly states otherwise, allowing such students to vote in Maine. And even the Sec. of State there, Republican Charles E. Summers, Jr., who investigated Webster’s “evidence” for his case, found it to be entirely baseless. (Though that didn’t keep Summers himself from sending threatening letters to many of those perfectly legal student voters, in apparent hopes of intimidating them into not casting their votes in The Pine Tree State.)

    While Webster was pretending that massive voter fraud was occurring in Maine, he has now, himself committed a massive case of election fraud by announcing the winner of last week’s Maine Caucuses as Mitt Romney despite his full knowledge that voters in at least three different counties have been entirely disenfranchised, with their votes not included in his “final” results. Many of those voters haven’t even been allowed to cast their votes yet at all.

    Last Saturday Night, the scheduled end of the week long state caucuses, Webster announced before live television cameras with much fanfare: “I’m now gonna announce the winner of the Maine GOP poll. And that winner is Mitt Romney.”

    But Webster was lying, and committing a massive act of knowing election fraud in the process as he made his announcement. His deceptive act was simply the latest in a grotesque and growing series of election fraud acts carried out this year by high-level GOP personalities and officials, including confirmed and alleged fraud by several of the party’s Presidential contenders

    Vote the person and his friends, not the party
