Republican candidates and what they stand for; Nothing
<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>
After listening to the Republican clown act leading up to the Iowa caucus, the reality is there is NOT a dimes difference in the 7 or 8 or 9 clowns running. A. They ALL support tax cuts for the 1% B.

After listening to the Republican clown act leading up to the Iowa caucus, the reality is there is NOT a dimes difference in the 7 or 8 or 9 clowns running. A. They ALL support tax cuts for the 1% B. They ALL support MORE tax cuts for big businesses, including many that pay NO taxes now! C. They ALL believe tax cuts for the working middle class is a mistake. D. They ALL LIE that President Obama caused two wars on credit, and the President caused the Wall Street recession! E. They ALL deny Obama's 22 months of jobs growth in the private sector, and maintain their psycho idea that off setting this job growth by destroying public sector jobs by attacking unions is the right way to go! F. They ALL, with the exception of Paul, think the US should now attack Iran, simply because we still have young Americans in uniform that can be used for cannon fodder! G. They ALL support subsidies to big oil, big farms, etc. but are against jobs for clean energy, improving infra-structure like bridges, roads, schools, or regulations that protect our environment, air and water! H. None of the Republican Tea-baggers will discuss their efforts for three years of defeating ANYTHING this President and Democrats have tried to do for economic and jobs growth! I. Instead they want to protect only those businesses that have exported American jobs, that don't pay their fair taxes, and instead spend millions on electing tea-baggers to take over the country, our government, and DESTROY the working middle-class! J. Finally, anyone who doesn't agree with what the Republican Tea-Baggers have done and are trying to do to our country,by oppressing voter rights, women's rights, educational rights. collective bargaining rights, destroying social security, Medicare, Medicaid, needs to stand up for ALL Americans by voicing these concerns and at the ballot box re-elect our President, and return a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress and insist they continue to represent this countries values for ALL Americans! |

thank you for number F--I will not have to discuss that one! Ron Paul supports income tax cut to zero for everybody! 1% and 99% he would be president FOR ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE unlike other candidates including Obama who are bought by the establishment - and what the establishment brings to people we see: inflation, unemployment, foreclosures...The usa now is far from its yester greatness,... i never heard Ron Paul saying Obama caused both wars - he's just continued Bush's foreign policy of bombing other countries and killing people Ron Paul has non-inteventionism policy--trade and diplomacy and strong defense if you really support our troops- let them live! bring them home they should watch our borders not Afganistan/Pakistan or Iraq/Iran! Ron Paul voted against all bail-outs he will not cut Social Security or Medicare he is the most honest consistent politician (neither Romney nor Obama is!) as an MD he treated All poor people free (ALL - and it was before civil rights movement!) he's been a congresman for 30+ years and refused congressional pension because it wouldn't be fair to Americans! as a president he would take o nly the average American salary-39.5 K now how much Obama takes? (if anyone would like to know more about Ron Paul pleae do not take your info from mainstream media incl aarp magazine--he is the only candidate not bought by big business-incl. Obama--and they do this smear campaign now...) |

Posted by Astra2012 Now the republicans must deal with the crazy-Uncle in the Attic.....read the blog .... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-hais-and-morley-winograd/now-republicans-must-deal_b_1182465.html The problem with Libertarianism is that no country in the world has had any success with it......no country has had limited GOVT and had any good future. Somalia has VERY LOW TAXES no Social Security ..no pesky big gov't bureaucrats & EVERYONE owns GUNS. But you might die of famine & diseases cause there is no CDC or FEMA or the FDA and all those bureaus that Ron Paul doesn't think is necessary. . The MOONLITE BUNNYRANCH ENDORSED RON PAUL. that should clinch it !!! |

i don't know that moonlite etc but that really doesn't matter i do not judge candidates by who endorses them but by what they, themselves say sociAlism-as we start having under Obama doesn't work either but comparing the usa to somalia is a bit overstretching i wouldn't call it libertarian either - Switzerland is more like it Ron Paul wants to cut government spending because our debt is as high as GDP and 4 more years of Obama spending like in first 4, and we face Greece problems it has to be done-and the sooner the better "uncle-in the attic" is one of the labels the propagAnda machine wanted to stick to Ron Paul it doesn't work as he is the only candidate who proposes realistic solutions to the mess we are in besides he seems to be the only one who understands it |

I read your title again papabob and I agree you are right for all but one: Ron Paul. He stands up for American Constitution. Unlike all candidates including Obama he challenges the establishment for the sake of American people. Yours too. |

HE was nothing BUT. when for a few mentions he bailed out WALL STREET----gave around 800 million dollars to small businesses.....extended tax relief for the wealthiest.....yada yada yada. Ron Paul has NOTHING going for him except that he wants to trim a trillion dollars off of the military industrial complex's incomes and for that he is nothing like the other candidates. Otherwise, I say please don’t shoot yourselves in the foot, don’t vote for a man who only wants to help the rich. He just wants to greaten the divide between the poor and the rich, which is already overwhelming . By the way, he also wants to eliminate the departments of education, energy, homeland security, and emergency management boy won't THAT be a change back to the dark ages. . |

Needless to say I do not think you are correct. Ron Paul is very honest man who will be PRESIDENT OF ALL AMERICANS, The establishment hates him because it feels threatened by that. Please people educate yourself, know Ron Paul not from mainstream tv or people like JANMB but from him, himself this is a link to quest./answers in NH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjCIpaC5dU8 please vote in Primary or caucus for Ron Paul he needs every vote. |

Posted by Astra2012 Paul's libertarian, isolationist message has attracted a loyal following. WELL they must grow their own food then....never rely on others at all ....an isolationist ? The days of the prairie, of the frontier, of brave pioneers living isolated against overwhelming odds, are pretty much over .. growing our own food---raising our own barns.... .We have become very much interdependent over the past 100 years, and we cannot live in isolation anymore. We will fail collectively, or succeed collectively. You rely on your fellow man for your needs ....then he leans on you for his needs too ...that's the way it will only work. We are in this together. We contribute to society if we can and should do what we can for ourselves but there are limitations. When conservatives want "everyone to rely on themselves"...then they must first seek means or ways for society to actually be able to accomplish that. You must grow your own food then....don't rely on anyone else. |

he is not isolationists! he wants trade relations with every country (even Cuba, and he said that in Miami knowing they'd boo him)--unlike Obama who does not allow us to go there and USA to trade with them. he is non-interventionist--against bombing other countries without declaration of war he is not pacifist- in some cases declaration of war is necessary- he voted to get Osama bin Laden after 9/11 (however he voted against war in Iraq) |
