Hey Mark,
I have been with Ron Paul since the 1960’s. He walks the walk….. The press knew that the way to get rid of Ron Paul as a Presidential possible, this year, was to “silence him,” and they did.He got more votes in some states than Rudy Guliana, but was never included in any of the debates, offered to all the other candidates!
Who was it that said,”I don’t care what you say about me, just be sure to spell my name right.” Also, “Any publicity is better than no publicity at all.”
Obama is Muslum,has 147 days experience,has openly refused to pledge allegience to our flag,refused at first, to wear an American Flag lapel pin. He got his wife’s employer a million dollar grant, and the very next year, she got a raise in her pay, from $102,000.00 up to
$304,000.00. Not bad for a low level manager.Learn more, go to: theobamafile.com or exposeobama.com .First is best. Thanks!

Responding to Harry Martin’s uneducated post.
Please do check out Snopes.com and they confirm the truth. Obama is not muslim nor did he choose to be a black man, His parents named him and no when he was born he didn’t get a chance to tell his parents what name he would like them to name him. Did you get your information from some spam email?

Here is the problem most have and correct me if I am wrong:

If you grow up in Hawaii, are raised by your grandparents, you’re considered to be too “exotic, different”, but if you grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers you’re “a quintessential American story”?

If you happen to graduate from Harvard Law School and at the top of your class and you are “unstable”, but if you attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re “well grounded”?

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you “don’t have any real leadership experience”?

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive?

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re “not a real Christian”?

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your disfigured wife and married heiress Cindy the next month, you’re a true Christian?

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are “eroding the fiber of society”?

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re “very responsible”?

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your “family’s values don’t represent America’s”?

If your husband is nicknamed ‘First Dude’, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and was once a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is “extremely admirable”?

Please let me know what I am missing?

Mrk,

thank you for putting these three videos up…a more stark differentiation between economic views could not have been made clearer.

We have the libertarian/constitutionalist Ron Paul explaining in detail why the dangers of the bail-out could be greater than the risks faced today.

In contrast the Marxist Obama talks about protecting the people by giving the government more power and nationalising the financial system of this country. Does anyone really bekieve the taxpayer will share in any upside coming from a bail-out? And does anyone really believe that there will be an upside when government olicy continues to overinflate the dollar’s value while controlling interest rates at less than market rates? It is simple economics…and even without understanding this, how can anyone think that big government will not expand to absorb any upside from the bailout?

Thirdly we have the quasi-socialist McCain making more sense than the Marxist but still missing the point….neither of the two presidential candidates reference the true problem.

Greed is not the problem.

Fat cats on Wall street is not the problem.

The problem is that when we discarded the gold standard our financial system became based on what people think our currency should be worth…not on what on our productivity is. This works for a short while, but eventually becomes a nonsense value that ensures the economy stands on the precipice of disaster. Well …that precipice is not only bigger today than it was a decade ago, but the ground is falling away from under us.

And the solution is easy (although the execution will result in some significant short term pain for everybody).

The solution? Let the free markets do their job. Let poor businesses fail. Let business people do their thing and get the government out of our lives. Return to the gold standard for currency value. Define wealth in terms of productivity rather than dollars that have no value. Remove all forms of government hand-outs and prevent further growth of the welfare and entitlement society that has destroyed this great country.

Sorry…I am standing on a sopa box now….but the problems will not be solved until the people understand the free ride is over and stand up and say…we will work for what we want…no more handouts!

Enough said. If the poeple truly want this country to return to greatness, they must be prepared to work for it.

Hey Shoppingkharma.

I will tell you what you missed.

Obama is a Marxist.

That is enough to disqualify him as a serious contender as President. Unless of course, you want to live in a Marxist State…and maybe you do?

Or maybe you just don’t understand what that means?

It never ceases to amaze me how otherwise intelligent people seem to ignore what is right in front of their faces. Must be the messiah syndrome!

Randy

Wow, I’m suprised that anyone still believes all that crap about Obama. I don’t want him to be president, but only because I disagree with his politics-not because I believe everything I read on the interwebs. To the question at hand, Ron Paul really understands what is going on economically. When this bailout happens, things are only going to get worse.

Kevin,

I couldn’t agree more with you.

We, the people, should not care about whether a president is black, white, green or purple with pink polka dots.

We should not care if he can give a well rehearsed speech from a teleprompter. We should not care about gender, or background (although past decisions gives us a metric to determine character).

What we should care about is the policies…do they make sense, does the contender understand the realities of life, does he have the intestinal fortitude to make the right decisions even if it is against his best interests or perhaps even alienates voters.

It is time for this country to really look hard at itself…and elect someone who doesn’t pander to the masses or necessarily follow the popularist notion that everyone has the rights to an easy life (this is not a bithright as some people suggest).

Unfortunately,the two remaining presidential contenders differ only by the degree of their economic tendencies. In truth, the only difference between them is how quickly this country will decline under their leadership.

Of course, Congress has a lot to do with the ultimate direction…and the current Congress has been usurped by liberals who are no more than power hungry degenerates who don’t care about the people but care strongly about maintaining their power base. The republicans in congress have moved further to the left with each passing year, and, in order to maintain votes have followed, and in some cases led, the people of this country into a state where the people believe they should have everything they want regardless of whether they earn it or not.

Where is John Galt? I think I will go live with him because Atlas is about to shrug!

Randy

I gotta say I still find it shocking that it even matters what religion a candidate is and that people still seem to believe Obama is a muslim even after the whole REVEREND Wright episode but the bottom line is this Obama & McCain will provide more of the same:

Increased Spending
Same Foreign Policy
And No REAL Change to the monetary system.

I really do wish there was someone like Ron Paul here in Europe. Someone who actually understands economics & knows that simply throwing money at a problem wont fix it.

That’s my two cents.

Mark

As a Brit watching with growing horror and despair as USA goes down the pan dragging the rest of us with it I am appalled at this huge amount of money that is to be being paid by the US tax payers. So much is not being put out on your main stream media (MSM).
http://www.escapetheillusion.com/blog/2008/09/a-financial-controlled-demolition-just-like-911/

Let them go down!!! I pay my bills and credit cards and I get nothing except more taxes and regulations..

P.S. for you Obamaniacs, Examine what Illinos and Chicago are like.. More people shot in Chicago than in Iraq. Highest taxes in the United States. Bulldozing 500 homes in the name of progress.. Illinois’ Democratic governor in likely to be indicted. (he was a reformer).Hundreds of politicians and city workers sent to prison. Obama flourished in this system and nary a peep about ethics and or reform.. He was a coat holder.

Illinois has $40 billion in debt, massive tax increases and no new jobs created in four years.

Obama was elected to help Illinois and has spent two years preaching he is the answer. Spare us and the USA

“IN THE NAME OF GREED”

People are so hung up on money “and POWER” they don’t care about anything. They use the power to get what they want (control).

Some Politicians go unchecked since they have the “POWER” and buddy system of other politicians “hand shakers”. I will do this for you if you let me do this or that!

They are using the tax payer trust in them to do the job they should be doing. Some selfishly vote themselves a raise (just because they can and who’s going to confront them)? Even if it means the money they got could have been used to keep the system going. Thing of it is very, very few if anyone in Government are there to help America!
We “America” are being taxed to death. America was build for the people to be free from taxes. But I know it takes money to run the Government! But with the educated people we have in America you mean to tell me we can’t come up with a better system.
I do believe that if “GREED” was left out and set it up the system for America (for the people). The Politicians don’t have to worry about there retirement plan they’re going to use any of that money for anything else. If they were in the same boat we’re in I assure you they would come up with something. So since the tax payers are funding it we the tax payers should benefit too! In other words they can star with making things fair! That I believe that that’s what every American expects from people we put in office with our trust in them.
The way (whom ever set-up) the tax system is set up is when business has a lost tax payers loose. Lets say when a person starts to default in paying monthly credit card(s), the Credit card company penalizes the card holder as much as possible putting card hold in more of a debt knowing he cant or want pay.(Not to say that a person don’t want to pay there debt they do).They’re just backed into a corner.) This give the Credit card company of a larger debt to charge off for a lost write off. They create this virtual lost. To off set there Actual gains where there’re legally raping card holder and tax papers with the interest rate that they were allowed to charge, by politicians hand shakers.

Also, another set-up is Mortgages two fold bubble. The false since of tax right offs. Oh you get to right off the interest paid out. And the appreciation of your home. What most people do is use there home to get money out for retirement and or pay bills off etc. Next thing you know you lose it.
Lets set it up to give the people an incentive to pay there homes off and keep it in the family. To rent, ( use the money for there retirement etc) or let there kids live in it.

Now the incentive for the GOVERNMENT to do this is (This is what I would do if I was President and had to pay for People’s 1.Sickness expenses (drugs, hospital etc)..
2. Living quarters, 3. Food (food stamps) 4. ETC. For everyone of these items
The more you help the people to take care of these items the less GOV haste to pay out of the taxes.

Now for Insurance to cover the Sickness expenses, drugs hospital etc. The GOV and whom else, is afraid that you are going to benefit from insurance that you are limited to 80% 20% rule. One being that gee heaven for bid insurance companies have to pay 100% to 120% of a person’s illness and or sickness. When a person get sick and or has an illness cost him and or her 120% parking and all the unforeseen related to getting well. So why not spread the bearded between 2,3,4,5… insurance companies. Also, to give the person and or families an incentive to carry insurance is to give them a 110% right off. That means if I pay $100 for my insurance I get a right off of $110 .

Now for taxes it’s a waste of time put into collecting taxes. We could cut taxes by not having to pay IRS people to do what it is that they do (you know all that fear they put into u)s. And automate the collections by when you spend the money some how you pay taxes. More to come let me know what you think if this. Next is about stopping at red lights. And the theft of inventions. Lord God is our foundations.

For the voices of sanity, you might like to read the article at http://www.opednews.com/articles/IT-S-THE-DERIVATIVES-STUP-by-Ellen-Brown-080918-354.html

Ellen Brown is the author of the comprehensive 500+ Page study of the “Web of Debt”, which provides the historical background of the creation of the FED. Ron Paul bases his decisions on this history,(not on Ellen’s book!) as well as the Austrian von Mises economics. You can find a copy of the book at
http://www.webofdebt.com (I am not connected with this at all).

It is fascinating that we have a repetition of post 9/11. A “grave crisis”, “immediate action” required, “total carte blanche power” to the Treasury Secretary. No time for deep discussion of problem and/or solutions. Hopefully, there are still some in Congress who are holding up proceedings by asking pertinent questions. Professor Meltzer of Mellon U - interviewed on PBS - has also completely rejected the need to bail-out these scoundrels, pointing out that Mitsubishi Corp - and now Warren Buffett - have purchased Billions of dollars of stock in Goldmach Sachs - so why should the “taxpayer” once again foot the bill?

Have you seen Aaron Russo’s FED exposure Video on YouTube; or any of the publications/newsletters of Restore the Republic which is an organization spawned by Russo’s untimely death?

Let’s hope this time Congress does not sleep on the job!

Are they using taxes they already (or to be) collected? And what was this (already collected) money collected for? Will this taxed money have to be replaced? To actually use it for what it was collected for! This is typical of politicians to rob “Tax Payer” to pay “Politicians mistakes.

So instead of borrowing money from other countries. With out paper money that’s not backed by gold. The only thing that we have of value is our land (US soil) and that’s worth more that gold.

Well what I am getting at is: Since politicians don’t mind paying all this interest we owe to other countries. Why not set it up so that American ONLY can invest in our DEBT. Pay the interest back to the people that build this country. That way if the government defaults on the loan at least America will still be OWNED by the Americans. The more money that the American people have the more we can help the foreign countries when they help like we have been doing. Why is it that politician’s are so afraid that the American people may prosper!
