YES!

[240 is Back]

Ron Paul is a common sense solution to many of America's problems.

I'd love to see him get the nomination.  Many believed he outright won that first debate.

[OzmO]

I like this man's voting record!

[Camel Jockey]

Me likey!

[Decker]

I don't think never voting to raise a tax is something for any politician to hang his hat on.

In the real world, taxes are raised or increased to fund government services.

That's a fact of life in this country.

Now whether that tax is fair or not is another matter.

Not all tax increases or impositions are unfair.  His voting record would seem not to take that tact.  I think that is unreasonable.

I would love to see a debate between Mr. Paul and Sen. Russ Feingold.  I consider Feingold to be a true statesman and political genius.  His fidelity is to the US Constitution first and foremost.

Perhaps, but does Sen. Russ Feingold have any legitimate chance to become president?

Whoa.  Somebody call a priest.  We need an exorcism.   

[Decker]

No he decided not to cast his hat into the ring.

He's single (divorced) and Jewish.  It's an uphill battle for him.

I think Ron Paul is a man of character.

But I don't think he has a chance in hell of becoming president.

The election game is one of dollars.  His opponents will outspend him.  The quality of ideas does not mean much to this equation.

Another example of the sad state of affairs this country has gotten itself into when the best candidates are not contenders because of money.

Our best and brightest don't run.  Colin Powell, the most qualified man in the country, is sitting this one out.

If you have so much faith in big government then give them YOUR money and let the rest of us have OUR hard earned wages and let us spend it as WE set fit.

A national budget is a fact of life in the US. 

In our country, that BIG GOV. you speak of is us:  We The People are the government.

It is one's constitutional and patriotic duty to pay taxes to support our great nation.

It is the scoundrel that takes tax avoidance to heart...paying little to no tax when he/she/it is capable of paying a fair share.

It seems that you want the benefits of government: armed forces, internet, telephone services, highways, GI Bill, etc but you don't want to pay for them.

There is no free lunch in america.

Come on are you serious? You forget about all of your liberal handouts like welfare?

Yes, those who pay taxes in America are able to pay those taxes.

Those that can't pay don't.

You seem to have a problem with indigents and poor people not paying enough taxes.

[Decker]

Here is a very good article on Mr. Paul from Karen Kwiatowski.  She's a good writer.

"Seeing Ron Paul educate Wolf Blitzer earlier this week, after his astoundingly fantastic performance in the second Republican debate, makes me sorry I had lost my faith in the power of truth, the power of courage. I’m sorry that I didn’t believe in the possibility that a serious person in the American political arena would commit that most radical act of speaking truth to power."

I think that hard working people that are considered poor should get a major tax break. I don't think people should be able to not work and draw welfare for more than 6 months at a time. I believe in food stamps, WIC etc that help to offset costs for working americans.

Good man!

The poor pay practically all their taxes in payroll taxes.  Those payroll taxes are used to finance gov. operations not related to payroll purposes--the funds are borrowed for other purposes.

Your view on welfare is coming to fruition thanks to Pres. Clinton's revamping of the system.

It has a long way to go. Look Decker, you need to quit being like 240 trying to put everyone in a box. Just because I think we can't pull out of Iraq, and could care less about what every government official is doing everyday doesn't make me a neocon
