Only Ron Paul Can Save Us Now For the last few weeks Republicans have been ranting about the Democrat raid of the U. S. Treasury. They were using the financial crisis like the Reichstag Fire, we were told, as an excuse to consolidate their power, paying off political constituencies and pushing through spending bills that are loaded with extras totally unrelated to any resolution of the crisis. Even moderates have been alarmed. To be sure, there is still good will toward our new President Barack Obama. Everyone is too pleased with the idea of an African American president to blame him for anything. The tomatoes are usually tossed at Nancy Pelosi and her partisan gang in the House. Surely the president who firmly promised he would end ear marks and examine each spending bill, line by line, has not lied to us already, this early into his term in office? But now it turns out that the whiney Republican Party’s own leaders are right in the thick of it all. Six of the top ten pork barrel spenders in the U. S. Senate are in the GOP. Here is that inglorious list. 1. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.: $474 million 2. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.: $391 million 3. Mary Landrieu, D-La.: $332 million 4. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa: $292 million 5. David Vitter, R-La.: $249 million 6. Christopher Bond, R-Mo.: $248 million 7. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.: $235 million 8. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii: $225 million 9. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.: $219 million 10. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa: $199 million (Source fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2557139.aspx) Just making the cut, you’ll notice, is Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa who was upset last summer at Pentecostal-Charismatic television preachers, calling for an investigation, because evangelists like Joyce Meyers, who earns $250,000 a year, are too extravagant with donations. At a time when America is on the verge of the Second Great Depression and unemployment is mounting, he bagged almost $200 million in pork barrel goodies for his buddies back home. At least the people who give to Joyce Meyers’ ministry do so voluntarily. (By the way, maybe we should have the government run the Churches too, that would make a clean sweep of things. Banks, Insurance, Autos and Churches, as well. Hmmm.) Is there anyone who can save us from this insanity? There is really only one option left. Ron Paul. It is a long shot, but if the madness goes far enough and the reaction sets in, the Paulistas just might stage a takeover of the Grand Old Party and Ron Paul would offer America a real choice. It’s a long shot. But four more years of this and America may actually be ready. Note: Here is the link of Doug Wead appearing on FOX NEWS talking about the Stimulus package.

TheSystem needs a revolution of ideas. Ron Paul doesn't go nearly far enough. We need to revisit everything from 1776 to the present and overhaul the entire system, beginning with: term limits on all governments offices (local state fed) [one place where the founders really screwed up] Lawyers, bankers, judges, LEO agencies (all levels) with no oversight to their misdeeds, domestic traitors in government, and business interests have long held the reigns of power over the rights of the people. This will end. Freedom takes guts. That's just the beginning of this revolution... No idea should be off limits to discuss.
We need a politician who can expose the treachery behind 9/11. Dennis Kucinich is a lone voice that tries to bring it to the forefront, but he needs some powerful allies to join his cause. I'm disappointed that Ron Paul has washed his hands of the matter. If Paul wanted to make a difference, 9/11 would be THE issue that he should be most concerned about as it would expose the corrupt web of treason and deceipt that is bringing about the demise of our nation.
If Paul wanted to make a difference, 9/11 would be THE issue that he should be most concerned about as it would expose the corrupt web of treason and deceipt that is bringing about the demise of our nation. Paul's problem is that he is a COWARD. Even gun-grabbing socialist kucinich has the cajones to tell the freaking truth about 911. Add in Bob Bowman, who almost won a congressional seat despite using 911 truth as one of his main platforms; Chuck Baldwin also addressed the issue admirably and honestly as a presidential candidate. Cynthia Mckinney. Look at all those people who aren't afraid to mention 911 trutha nd don't disparage the theory as 'absurd and ludicrous' out of WEAK FEAR. So Paul's problem is that he is a weak and dishonest coward. Things are so bad however that despite all this, I am still so glad he is out there so that when you reference 'ron paul'.,, many people know who is he and like his ideas, the foundation for smaller government and liberty. it is a damn shame when the best spokesman we have is such a weak coward.
Ron Paul ain't going to save anybody. if this headline was true we're all screwed. save yourself.
