You are nuts man. Elections cost money. Especially election wins. Ron Paul could never had raised the amount of money that Romney or Obama did.

No, he wants to gut the military to near uselessness. Most conservatives support the military.

I don't think he could win. I would've voted for him over Obutthead, but Ron Paul is one of the guys I least wanted to win the nomination (down there with Huntsman and Johnson, and at one point I was hoping it wouldn't be Romney, though I started to like him better as time passed).

Ron Paul broke fund-raising records fairly frequently in his 2008 and 2012 runs.

I dont think anyone cares anachronistic definitions of moderate and extremist. Ron Paul is not a moderate.

Your video cannot be taken seriously at all. It has plenty of clips of him saying what he thinks is unconstitutional, but then it cuts him off before he gets around to explaining why he thinks those things are unconstitutional. If you consider that video to be a legitimate criticism of his interpretation of the constitution, then I don't even know what to say.

The fact he finds all those things unconstitutional at all is evidence that he's an extremist. Pretty much everything he finds unconstitutional is utterly uncontroversial. Ron Paulists may not like it, but the views in that video REGARDLESS OF EXPLANATION make him an extremist by modern day political standards. Things like Social Security and Medicare and the Income Tax and paper money...they're not going anywhere. They've been in place for decades or, in some cases, for centuries.

Lies.

Its true. The bankers and ultra large corporations hate him because he doesn't put up with their crap. Obama and Romney on the other hand are loved by the lobbyists and banks because they will give free goodies to them. He would never raise as much money as them.

You linked that video in response to me saying that Ron Paul was a moderate according to the standards set by the constitution. I'm not talking about the standards set by the mainstream media, socialist populist politicians, or the masses. It's a lot harder to use the constitution to criticize Ron Paul than it is to use it to criticize someone like Obama.

Okay then. You're a Ron Paul supporter. There are 15 things Ron Paul mentions as being unconstitutional in that video. You complain that the video doesn't have his explanations for WHY they are unconstitutional (though in the cases of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid it does). Explain why those 15 things are unconstitutional.

Isn't it obvious? The government isnt given the authority by the Constitution to do those things. There isn't anywhere in the Constituion that says the federal government should mandate standard for education or anyting else of the 15 thing he's mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, i think it would crazy remove most of the things he's listed... But he isn't wrong.

Two schools of thought with regards to the Constitution. One school says that the Federal government can't do anything it isn't explicitly allowed to do in the Constitution. The other school says it can do anything that isn't explicitly forbidden from doing. I'd argue the latter view is the one that allows a government to function and adapt over long periods of time.

Actually, no. You started this by claiming that Obama/Romney are extremists and Paul is a moderate. I posted a video showing him wanting pretty much every facet of modern day government eliminated because they are unconstitutional. These are positions well outside the mainstream. You then objected because the video didn't allow Ron Paul to explain WHY he thought all those things are unconstitutional. I'm giving you, a Paul supporter, a chance to fill in the blanks.

I would actually say that both schools are wrong. I think the government has powers that aren't explicitly delineated but it doesn't have the power to do anything that is not specifically forbideen either.

Considering how out of context and brief those video clips are, it's difficult to tell what he's even saying. For example, at one point he says "It's clearly unconstitutional to issue these executive orders", and then a little sign appears stating that Ron Paul thinks executive orders are unconstitutional, even though it appears he was talking about specific executive orders rather than executive orders in general. We can't tell for sure though, since that entire clip lasts about 3 seconds.

Concerning paper money: Article 1, section 10No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

Though the allegation against Ron Paul is still misleading, because he has no problem with using paper as long as they're backed up by gold/silver.

If you find something that's more than a collection of 3-5 second video clips that are devoid of any context (so basically if you find something that has any meaning) then maybe it will be possible to form a response to it.

:lol: Considering you're the one making an issue out of those things and making the claim that what he's saying is wrong, I'll leave the burden of proof on you.Laihendi

Actually, no. You started this by claiming that Obama/Romney are extremists and Paul is a moderate. I posted a video showing him wanting pretty much every facet of modern day government eliminated because they are unconstitutional. These are positions well outside the mainstream.

You then objected because the video didn't allow Ron Paul to explain WHY he thought all those things are unconstitutional.

I'm giving you, a Paul supporter, a chance to fill in the blanks. It's not my fault that that when challenged you can't back up your talk.

And TC: I'm well aware that you posted this thread just to rile up the Paulbots. I shall have my vengeance. In this life or the next.


Considering how out of context and brief those video clips are, it's difficult to tell what he's even saying. For example, at one point he says "It's clearly unconstitutional to issue these executive orders", and then a little sign appears stating that Ron Paul thinks executive orders are unconstitutional, even though it appears he was talking about specific executive orders rather than executive orders in general.

They should get rid of the "grant any Title of Nobility", I don't see why states shouldn't be able to do so, I mean they should make me "Supreme and Highest Count, Duke of the State and Earl of America".

I'm sorry that I quoted Ron Paul in his own words claiming virtually everything that modern society is based on is unconstitutional. That was really unfair of me. :lol: It's not up to me to explain why Ron Paul finds all those things unconstitutional and is calling for the abolition of pretty much every government department that exists. I'm not a Ron Paul supporter. Why are you asking me to tell YOU why he finds these things unconstitutional and wants them eliminated? Shouldn't you be more familiar with his positions than I am? Though, I acknowledge the point about paper money. He does advocate a return to the gold standard, which is also a lunatic position...but you're right that overall Paul has no problem with paper money in and of itself. But here's the thing: As Abbeten mentioned, the Supreme Court (which, contrary to Ron Paul supporters' belief is the ultimate authority over issues of constitutionality, not Ron Paul) has ruled on pretty much everything on that list. Which means that Ron Paul is really nothing more than a demented old nutcase who does happen to have a few good ideas here and there.

No, he ******* couldn't have. Getting rid of things like minimum wage, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, EPA etc. etc. etc. is going to piss off a ton of people even Republicans.

No they aren't. The federal government is the entity that authorizes fiat money to be used as legal tender, not the states.
