meet the candidate- RON PAUL
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">With elections coming up, there’s no shortage of dialogue here. Whether you're a red state Republican or a blue state Democrat, everyone is welcome — just remember to be civil.</font>
Rick Perry bowed out - we have 4 GOP candidates left. Since he is the only anti-war candidate (including Obama...) I support Ron Paul and I want everybody here to know more about him of course I will

Imagine the cost of having to register your name for each state and then by regions within some states. It is a federal office so I would think a registration with sufficient signatures would be enough for every where. No wonder it is limited as to who may even run. Now with the PACs that may give as much money secretly makes the whole process corrupt. Whether Democrat or Republican or Independent, the rich are ruling. So much of the political advertising is suspect. Personally I think all candidates should have to be in so many debates to be official candidates, and if the person is running uncontesed they can answer questions from the American public by phone or internet. |

so much in our election process should be changed... Also: media coverage! Their bias against certain candidates, "tests" in which these candidates are placed last... btw media do not talk about Ron Paul wining Missouri I posted that link already somewhere here but fits great so it's worth repeating http://www.businessinsider.com/is-ron-paul-secretly-winning-the-missouri-caucus-2012-3?utm_source=inpost&utm_medium=seealso&utm_term=&utm_content=2&utm_campaign=recirc |

There is a definite bias, in fact I tweeted someone on a news program about it and this was not about a political party. I already commented in another thread that Missouri is not decided. As time progresses the focus becomes more the front runners. Gingrich and Paul are out of it, and according to the rules they will not be nominees in the convention unless they win more states. |

In Response to Re: meet the candidate- RON PAUL: Missouri is not declared because the Republican establishment doesn't want to declare Ron Paul a winner Hopefully Ron Paul will NE VER give up - we need him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7igarvu2OWU Posted by Astra2012 If you read the links in your first post, you would have seen that Romney and Paul delegates in some of the areas. Even with all of the problems one of the links seemed to imply that Santorum won statewide though in some areas that did not appear to be the case. The problem is that they made a mess in Missouri this time in part because of trying an ealry primary than not wanting to lose delegates so they went ahead with a follow up. |

In Response to Re: meet the candidate- RON PAUL: Ron Paul has been right for years and the dared to call him crazy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxjx3gYpwWk Posted by Astra2012 Our financial problems have been impacted by more than what he said such as a push to allow almost everyone to buy a home, whereby many banks and future homeowners did not have enough to cover the loan and many times they knew it. This helped to bring about the housing crash which has many rippled effects. The corruption in business caused other financial failures and again like the housing market would have ripple effects. Saying a war is going to cost a lot of money is not much of a prediction. Gold has just risen in price and the American dollar is still the international currency. |

he said it BEFORE it happened War costs, but nation building costs more, and that's what we have in Iraq he said that Americans would get poorer and poorer - show me ANY other candidate who worries about Americans! (he has 16 grandkids, loves them and wants them to live in the country America once wa!) |

The nation building was not in Iraq, since they have turned that over to a leader more supportive of Iran. Afghanistan is another matter, since our support of a weak figure who I do not think can be trusted is a reason I think we should get out of Afghanistan now. How can our military train them when our soldiers do not know when the ones they are training will shoot them. It stands to reason nation building costs more. But I do not think that was our intent in either country. |
