i look at immigration as a non sequitur..

a distraction. pay attention to the mexicans "stealing" your jobs(you know the jobs you dont do as well or as cheaply)while the government steals your liberty.

So tell me oh wise one...What will Romney do to save our growing debt? You mean because he supports reigning in the debt in 30 YEARS!!?? Because he wants MORE overseas action than we already have?

Sorry, I cannot, due to my moral judgement, vote for that platform and I just HOPE a majority of other Americans agree with me. Ron may have 'wild' ideas, but they really need to happen.

The problem with illegals should be a state issue and dealt with by the states. Gov't. intervening is just plain dumb. Its only to get the immigrant votes. When I say illegal immigrant, I think we all know what race I am referring to. No benefits for illegals is the correct move.

They have the largest families, at least in my area. Lots of them are moving north now to the midwest. One metal fabrication company I installed our product in has mainly ALL illegals working on the shop floor. Why pay someone minimum wage when you can pay an illegal less? There are many problems (minimum wage is one) and the Gov't. politicians make it worse because they are only concerned where the next votes are coming from.
Im not claming to be wise,and I don't have all the answer's! You are right about immigration being an issue that should be handled by each individual state! There was a law passed in oklahoma in 2009 like the one created in arizona and they started to enforce it, but the federal government steped in and said they would cut off federal funding for roads and schools! So, they backed down and quit enforcing the law! I dont think romney is the answer to the problems we have... I just dont want to see obama get re-elected so he can keep wasting tax payers money playing golf in hawaii and grant citizenship to millions of illegal imigrant's! I like Ron Paul, but I dont think he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning... I am sick and tired of illegall's coming behind bider's and offering to do the work for less than the lowest bid! And they can do the work for less, because they live 20 people or more in a 2 bedroom house! They dont have to pay taxes,carry insurance or workman's comp. And 90% of the money they make is sent out of the country,and does'nt go back into our economy!!! I realize that it's the general contractor's fault for hiring them to save money. I dont think this country can handle another 4 years under Obama's administration! That's my 2 cent's worth!:tiphat:

heres somthing cool,that people may like to consider,its called the free staters project and its basicly a project wich is dedicated to libertarian principles being employed by people living in NH.

"The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation and regulation, reforms at all levels of government, to expand individual rights and free markets, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world"

101 reasons to move although im just gonna put up 1-21

To the Republicans that say if we vote for Ron Paul we are throwing away our vote and electing OBAMA. I say your wrong.

The simple fact is the elaction is being stolen from Ron Paul and the Nation. If you support anybody but Ron Paul and don't expose the truth then you are only chosing between what is packaged as the lesser of two evils. You are not spreading the truth. RON PAUL is this countries best choice for real change in America today and if youtube/google voter fraud you will find that it has occurred in every single state and always against Ron Paul.

I am glad the thread went off again. I'll catch up in a bit but I had to get that off my chest. I know there are RP supporters that feel we have to get OBAMA out and I respect you and your opinions very much but the truth is the truth.

ROMNEY/OBAMA = Goldman Sacs, Citibank, Bank of America, Barclays, McD's, Wal-Mart, NDAA, DRONES, WAR, FED, FDA outlaws MMJ. and so on and so on.

RON PAUL = US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, NO NDAA or PATRIOT ACT, NO DRONES I bet, NO IRS :D American Public including the young and old, Freedom and Choice on MMJ, Jobs, NO Income tax, freedom out the rearend :D

Smearing...Paul disagrees with "giving money" to ANYONE....he is 100% against corruption...and THAT is why he will NEVER be president...

His whole thing is....let the states decide what the laws should be on non critical issues (drug policies ect)shrink the government to only essential programs...reduce military presence throughout the world...literally bring our troops home...stop sending all of our money overseas...

That isn't good for the status quo.....the industrial military complex is the most politically powerful "thing" in the world...

Corporations make HUGE dollars from war......and those corporations spend lots and lots of money in washington making sure war is always either happening or about to happen...

I'm by no means a political expert but I'm smart enough to know that money makes the decisions in this country...and Ron Paul will get downplayed on fox news because he actually wants to do what others just talk about to get votes...

Liberal media will shut him out because he's hyper conservative....(fiscally anyway).....

I consider myself a liberal.....here's the problem...

lib·er·al   [lib-er-uhl, lib-ruhl] Show IPA
adjective
1.
favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
2.
( often initial capital letter ) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.
3.
of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism.
4.
favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
5.
favoring or permitting freedom of action, especially with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.

Now I don't know about u...but those definitions sound pretty good to me?

The problem is people in this country hear the word liberal and they think....socialism....or...pussy....

When in reality Liberalism is EVERYTHING we ALL should want....I take "progress" in that definition to mean "more freedom"......because right now in this country....we are very very far from free.

IMO the whole liberal and conservative shit needs to be put to bed....I promise u if u take 50 republicans and 50 dems......atleast 80-90% of the dems will agree with the republicans on atleast 1 issue....

Another funny thing is Democracy...

de·moc·ra·cy   [dih-mok-ruh-see] Show IPA
noun, plural -cies.
1.
government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2.
a state having such a form of government: The United States and Canada are democracies.
3.
a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.
4.
political or social equality; democratic spirit.
5.
the common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power.

That sounds wonderful right? but in reality we don't live in a democracy...we live in a country that is not "goverened by the people"....our country is goverened by people who are bribed by lobbyists.....

The U.S. gov better be careful......some shit is brewing and if something doesn't change soon....change is gonna be forced....good or bad.

Thats a serious legit statement my friend "The U.S. gov better be careful......some shit is brewing and if something doesn't change soon....change is gonna be forced....good or bad"

I would take up arms and fight to the death against anything that tries to alter my very way of life.

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it." - Abraham Lincoln

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson

Force will be changed and this country is swarming with patriots willing to die and fight for freedom, myself included.

God bless America, as many predict I see something happening revolutionary before our time is up.

^if only they would legalize weed. they even have nice mountains.

I wish the whole country came to its senses and realized that this type of success as a result of freedom can be obtained,for each and every state.

im hoping that we can nullify or repeal federal laws,the quickest way for real change is to vote (RP) ,and spread the message and speak the truth that way we can all enjoy freedoms like NH has.

Ron says he doesn't want to fight other nations, he wants to trade with em. WTO governs global trade with member nations. WTO says member nations must actively mitigate illicit drugs.

Ron says he'll end the DEA. That's just an umbrella. He'll still have the 9 underlying agencies and ending the DEA in itself doesn't cancel their respective statutes.

I wonder if Ron realizes how layered some legislation actually is and what it takes to manage an act of Congress (which he just happens to be 1 for 620.)

I wonder if Ron's considered his global trade status as a non-member of the WTO? Something tells me he hasn't broached that potential.


What's the most damning is I have to assume and string together multiple scenarios to imagine how Ron Paul would manage a single one. You either have to be the highest degree of incurious or willing to imagine a tsunami of significance.

Or vote for somebody with a more coherent message.

I recently spoke to a Veteran. It was his opinion that an extremely small percentage of active millitary would fire on US citizens even if fired upon. It was his opinion also that most military do not believe in the "Wars" and that accounts for much of the Psychological damage sustain by our troops. Physical/Psychological was TBI or traumatic brain injury by land mines.

Just heard it from the horses mouth..... talk to your Veterans and hear it for yourselves.

Peace------ PLEASE bring our troops home to guard our land not others who have no stake in the loss of their family members.

The good old boys say cages are fine for people who use Cannabis. The good old boys say death for possession of a plant or products.

The good old boys say it is OK to let our people die for ... what was it? Get the killers in IRAQ--- oops in Afganistan.... oops the enemy is right here at home, Weapons of Mass Destructions-- oops a rubber glove and a buried SCUD.... operation Iraq's freedom for the people-- oops as soon as they could went back to same people running the same piece of land AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED TIME!!!! Sorry, forgot why we were fighting there for a moment, did you?

The Good Old Boys-- still own slaves they just don't separate them by colors.

The Good Old Boys--are worried that the slaves are about to get out of control so declared the US a battle zone!

We are waiting for a big crash, a bang, a Revelation but we slept while the chains were placed.... we bickered with each other while we were trained..... Why crash it if it still produces wealth.... Liberty went out with a whimper, sigh, and shrug of the shoulders. We are just seeing the masters move attentions to less developed slave farms.

i dont understand what youre trying to say...

The US basically holds every other countries hand where 'illegal drugs' are concerned. If we bail on them being illegal, everyone else would follow.

(In addition, im pretty sure Portugal is still a member of the WTO. They 'decriminalized' 10 years ago.)

I believe a drugs allure is their illegality.

If 'drugs' were legalized, and IF gasoline could only be dispensed into containers that could not be accessed, more people would start 'illegally' huffing gasoline.

taboo is half the fun, and the 98% of the price is based off of its illegality.

Bingo.

From wto.org
" Portugal has been a WTO member since 1 January 1995. It is a member State of the European Union (more info). All EU member States are WTO members, as is the EU (until 30 November 2009 known officially in the WTO as the European Communities for legal reasons) in its own right."

Besides, the us is the worlds largest economy and everyone would continue to trade with us. Other countries would not file complaints because it does not effect their economy. The us is without a doubt leading the drug war around the world.

The "coherent messages" by the others are that we need to be spied on, sent to fight for corporate interests in foreign lands, and locked up for smoking weed.

Fuck those messages and the douche bags who have them. Votes from me and my friends are only going to ron paul and the delegates supporting him.

Yes, politicians can and do deliver coherent messages that, in just one example discussed whether we'd mandate single payer, the public option or universal coverage. We ended up with the worst option but potential strategies were detailed during the primary and we knew the respective principals and alternates.

Don't you remember? Hillary didn't want mandates and Obama didn't want single-payer. That set off a slew of campaign and media confrontations where Obama and Hillary were pressed to detail their strategies and what they'd pursue if primary goals weren't achieved -

My comment you copied was in regard to how we rectify international agreements which IMO, market theory doesn't address.

Say what you guys have to say, repeat if necessary. I just don't get the tangents that don't exactly tangent.
