Ron Paul, The Florida Primary and Gambling

[RobWin]

Well thats an easy one... It's all sitting in Banks in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Good answer Lots0...you win...now for part two of the question...

Why did the powers that be move it out of Fort Knox and into another country ?...this gold is owned by the American people and always has been...

[SlotsWizard]

That's the kind of thinking that for sure will not get him elected...you want a refined pretty boy in the position or someone that actually knows what they are talking about and knows how to fix our failing economy ?

Me, myself, one person thinking that he is unelectable is certainly not going to sway the republicans from selecting him as their candidate. Quite frankly, I couldn't care less who the republican is... but as an impartial observer it's clear to me that it will NOT be Ron Paul.

It was easy to see this last night. He got fewer questions than any of the others, and didn't seem to care too much about that. He got the least amount of applause. He was like a loose cannon.

I foresee him dropping out soon. And that's got nothing to do with whether or not I want him to be president. Also I don't recall ever saying that only a "refined pretty boy" could be president.

Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter...thats all just a crock anyway and both parties are controlled by one central power. It's about the person and what he stands for and his moral values that will return this country to the once great power that it was.

I'm sure you're right about him not being the parties choice, I wish like a lot of his supporters wished that he would run as an independant and he may still do that although he says he will stay on the republican ticket. Remember though that the delegates are not actually won or lost until the votes are tallied at the convention...

Why do you think that was...maybe because the powers that be that control the media have it set up this way...

Also I don't recall ever saying that only a "refined pretty boy" could be president.

Yes I agree, you did not actually say that...but to me it was implied by your description of him here:

"Ron Paul is just too unelectable.
He also appears to have some sort of nervous speech problem.
He just doesn't have "it" -
He's more like a crochety grandfather than a presidential candidate."

It's not about looks - it's about conduct.

I would not feel too good about the security of the country if this shaky old man were sitting there yelling at Ahmadinejad. I think we should do whatever we can to prevent a nuclear war!

...Alright you've made me laugh now Slots...lets just agree to disagree...again...like we did the other day...:

this gold is owned by the American people and always has been...

well it's not anymore... the Federal Reserve controlled the gold and has used it to pay off corporate debts. In other words they used the gold to pay for oil that some company (Haliburton?) made the all the profits on (kinda like whats going on with all the Iraqi oil right now).

The American people got screwed again... By a Federal Reserve that is NOT controlled by our government. The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE company.

As far as I can see the Federal Reserve has sold the American Citizens down the river, and put most of the country into wage slavery, the goal of all of the Robber Barons of old.

The Federal Reserve prints our money and sets our interest rates... this is all so screwed up that we are gonna hafta scrap the whole system to fix the problems they have created... and the powers that be (Owners of the Federal Reserve) just won't allow that to happen.

like John Edwards said, "These people are not going to give back their power willingly... We are gong to have to take it from them."

Thank you Lots0, man that was well said...I don't believe I could have said that any better myself...you alright man, I don't care what Tim said about you......

here is an interesting video I found on digg.
it has been edited to show only Dr. Paul's answers to the questions in the Republican debate.

Ron Paul makes so much sense... It really makes me angry to see McCain and Romney grinning like a couple of fools, because they don't even understand what Dr. Paul is saying.

McCain wants to keep troops in Iraq for 100 years... I hope McCain's age catches up with him before the election.

Due to the lack of anything else on TV at the time, I actually watched the republican debate last night. Of the four contenders, Ron Paul is just too unelectable.

He also appears to have some sort of nervous speech problem. A couple of questions he didn't even answer, he just went off on a tangent about the falling value of the dollar. I don't know. He just doesn't have "it" - he's more like a crochety grandfather than a presidential candidate.

There is one thing that stands out among all but one of our choices in both parties that they all have in common....Their silence...

In his Farewell Address, George Washington reminded succeeding generations of Americans that, “Honesty is always the best policy.” From the bottom of our hearts, we wish that we were not forced to make an issue of the moral weakness—the integrity deficit—of Ron Paul’s opponents. Yet no one can listen to the posturing of the other contenders in both major parties, without remarking the absence of reference to the specific language of our written Constitution. There are endless appeals to the interests or demands of particular groups or factions of the population; endless pandering to what are perceived as voting blocks; but no discussion of where the authority is supposed to reside; none of legal bases for the programs, schemes and policies being promised.

Ron Paul, alone, recognizes that the Federal Government has no power—no legal existence outside the Constitution. Yet each of the other candidates, at one time or another, has been required to swear obedience to that Constitution—to swear to uphold that Constitution. If they care so little about those solemn oaths, as to fail even to discuss Constitutional questions in seeking the most solemn office under that Constitution, how can one trust them in anything? Ultimately, the determinative issue in 2008, must be the integrity of Ron Paul versus the shameless, amoral, opportunism of his foes. Those Americans who chose to ignore that issue turn their backs on duty, wisdom and providence. No personal interest, no rationalization, no excuse, can possibly justify that betrayal.
