tOfficial Ron Paul for President 2012 Thread

[lions2011]

congressman, unless i am mistaken, usually refers to representative or senator.

Congressman = US House Of Represenatives

Senator = US Senate

fair enough, I personally think of congress as the house of representative and senate, but dictionary.com seems to agree with you to an extent, so I can see what you mean

Obama was never a congressman either...Illinois State Senate to US Senate to White House.

Like I said, I think of congressman as someone who served in congress. i.e. representative or senator. I see that you are using congressman as solely representative, and I can respect that.

 

[msuspartan]

Well, both of you are right. Slick has the titles correct as to how they are addressed and Congress consists of both the Senate and House.




Ron Paul 2012

The question here should be, does Ron Paul have a shot at the VP?

He said he would have a hard time being VP, when he doesn't support the President's agenda.

You can't argue with him. I don't trust a word Romney or any other candidate says...flip/flop.

I agree, he's nothing like the other R candidates, but at this point his only chance is as VP, a position none of the current guys will offer him anyways even if he was open to it.

 

[hockeywings]

I don't think of him as a VP, too strong of a personality

 

[lions2011]

none of the candidates will get the VP slot....Rubio , Thune......

 

[msuspartan]

Hmm I don't think Ron Paul will select any of those guys once he wins

I'd have no problem with Obama vs Paul...be an intersting election.

Not always good things:never voting for a tax increase, wanting to cut spending, never voting for an unbalanced budget, never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership, never voted to increase congressional pay, believes local governments are better suited to handle their own issues.

"Hey guys, I want to know why people don't like Ron Paul"
"Reason 1, Reason 2, Reason 3"
"You're a douche, get off this thread"

Way to represent your candidate. Good job.

Because all of the above stated are GOOD! You argue just to hear the idiotic spew that leaves your mouth. When you argue against RP you don't back anything up.

I did ask for reasons, and you were unable to say anything that is credible (if you are going to mention the EPA again then keep trying, they do more harm than good.)

Bad: voting AGAINST Congressional pay raises?
Bad: voting AGAINST a balance budget?
Bad: voting AGAINST raising spending?

You sir, have issues. You are to the point where NO ONE will argue with you.

Voting against congressional pay raises - everyone bitches about corruption and greed in congress, yet what is more likely to get rid of it, higher pay or lower pay?

voting against a balance budget - so getting into WWII was bad, how about WWI, or spending to get out of a depression
Voting against raising spending - same as above. I'll add in social programs, education, and lets say jobs.

You are too black and white, and anyone who deals only in absolutes is not going to be right in a human situation.

1) A pay raise of even $50,000 per year is not going to stop corruption in Washington, haha. You cannot believe pay raises will stop/limit corruption. That is the dumbest comment you have ever posted.

2) Ron Paul is against budget increases when the country is in TRILLIONS of dollars in debt. TRILLIONS! Seriously.

Also, spending didn't get us out of the depression. Read book Mr. teacher.
