Speech before the US House of Representatives, 02/12/09 Madame Speaker, I have a few questions for my colleagues. What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is a predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others? What if propping up repressive regimes in the Middle East endangers both the United States and Israel? What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan – and bombing Pakistan – is directly related to the hatred directed toward us and has nothing to do with being free and prosperous? What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair trade-off for the loss of nearly 3000 American citizens, no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistani, and Afghan people are killed or displaced? What if we finally decide that torture, even if called enhanced interrogation techniques, is self-destructive and produces no useful information – and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil? What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy? What if all wartime spending is paid for through the deceitful and evil process of inflating and borrowing? What if we finally see that wartime conditions always undermine personal liberty? What if conservatives, who preach small government, wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government? What if …

Ron you are the politician the whole world’s been waiting for eons! Please fellow America vote him, it’s probably your, and our, last chance against the establishment cartel! And about his gold standard theory, well there are some more exciting news related to that at Divine.cosmos.com(the trillion Dollar Lawsuit..).I believe it’s all happening, I believe 2012 it’s the year in which we can all start being free and thriving together like we are meant to.

The Bill of Rights is not a list of rights given to Americans by government. Rather, the Bill of Rights provides a list of rights that are inherently ours, so they can’t be removed by the government. It is your duty as a voting member of society to understand this and NEVER vote for anyone who would breach the law. There are only 7 Senators who voted against NDAA. The rest must be replaced. nearly 2/3 of the House members also need to be replaced. Vote carefully RON PAUL 2012

Taint not your soul with the blood of the innocent and the weak, but instead, rise up to protect and defend them against those whom would seek to do them harm.

The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they can’t be taken away by the government. M Connelly 2011
No more progressives. We love liberty. Stand with Dr Paul and the Constitution of the USA
Lets put a man with the integrity of a great statesman in office…one who cannot be purchased or bullied…Ron Paul 2012!

It’s not enough to say “Vote Ron Paul”
PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.
IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE! PLEASE! TRY SWITCHING AT YOUR TOWN HALL!

Drtronpaul … You are a sad, sad, brainwasher puppet of the socialists who have used security to steal your liberty while you just ask them to spoon feed you some more government grub… I went to Iraq and watched Brave men die to defend liberty, now i am home, but it is a home crumbling under the feet of tyrants, stealing the liberty i fought for… So i find your ignorant misguided ways sad, and i can only pray your eyes are one day opened… The brave, the proud, the awake will vote for Ron

Ron Paul is a millionaire porker with massive vested interest who just says what the third parties have been saying about war for 40 years and what experts on Al Gore’s panel were saying about the economy before Clinton was even out of office (as in predicting the economic disaster) besides that Ron Paul gets practically everything wrong and could only ever get elected in America because the man’s a social darwinist who buys into the wishful thinking of Austrian economics.

If only I were Americans, I would support & vote Ron Paul, I have never seen GOP candidate that has strong Integrity and strong conviction (backed with his background history), not only he is very intellegent, the way he presents complex matter into comprehensible for normal people is amazing. I am tired of politician with lawyer background that was trained only to debate but lack of big picture and lack of ability to spot problem and find solution, worse is demagogues. Ron paul is a real deal!
