I already addressed your FEMA sarcasm with someone else's so I won't do that again. And what do you do when there's no money in your state? What if you're Rhode Island and half of your state gets whipped out by a hurricane and it's worse than Katrina? And what if those states can't do anything to help you cause of their own problems or no more money? I guess you're #ed. Oh and it isn't up to Paul either if he was president. It'd be up to Congress. He can veto it but they can always over ride it. Oh well I guess you didn't think that one through.

since FEMA did such a good job

Pauls stance is that once the federal government gets involved, cutting through the red tape becomes nearly impossible and nobody can take any action. Katrina was a perfect example.
Paul would leave it up to the states to manage their own emergencies. imagine that, local people coming up with plans for their own safety.
relying on the federal government for your safety is akin to relying on Al Bundy's dodge to get you to work

I'm not going to repeat myself so this is all I'm saying.

So again don't insult me because I have the nerve to disagree with you. Deal with it.

If the truth is insulting to you then the problem is yours to sort out. I could not, in any way shape or form, care less if you have a problem with facts, that is something you have deal with.

So than tell me who could vote before the Civil Rights act of 1964? I'll be waiting to hear this one.

Well according to Ron Paul only if you're white and male and own land.

I'm starting to get mildly annoyed with your lies now.

There is no need to repeat yourself! Your words speak volumes to your integrity.

Just a little word of encouragement for those keeping their cool in this thread.
Politics is personal. And everything against "your candidate" feels like an attack.
Even when it's not.
so, props to those who are keeping their heads.

And remember "how would YOUR candidate respond".

carry on!!

Why are we provoking libelous comments from a self-proclaimed socialist? I mean no offense, but this is a thread about Ron Paul, a Republican to beat all Republicans AND Democrats. He is the only real supporter of liberties and citizens rights - enough of this babble about him being racist and against civil liberties

Back to the topic - Ron Paul's censorship by the mainstream media , and apparently, internet users. I have seen more attacks on Ron Paul then alot of well-deserving mainstream candidates, despite the claim that he is somehow less popular, the negative attention he gets from some people means otherwise.

So if it isnt up to him why are you so worried that he will get rid of it?

I think that's enough. Maybe it's time to read some threads for candidates that you support, rather than behaving this way in a Ron Paul loyalist thread.

I just want to apologize to all of the members of ATS. I am sorry, I have let you all down in the past, because I have voted for Bush not once but twice. I have no idea what on earth I was thinking going for a second time. I think that it was because everyone else that was running would have been worse. I should have just not voted at all.

I would defiantly not vote at all if it wasn't for Ron Paul. Knowing full well that the Elites (Powers That Be) control everything and no matter what happens, whoever they want in will get in. But even knowing that I think that we need to try, at least to have another thing to show the brain washed masses whats really going on.

I just want to say that no matter what happens, our community (ATS) and the voice that we have here will always be 100 times more powerful than the super corrupt, brain washing, manipulating politics that goes on today. Don't you ever forget this. Yes, our community is way more important than Ron Paul.

In saying that lets try to make it the best that it can be by stopping the childish insults and lets all have a good discussion. So lets just agree to disagree with (SouthernBelle82) and move on. It was a good debate at first but its getting out of hand now.

I do have one question though - Is there any website that we can goto right now to put in a vote on the pole for Ron Paul?

Yeah they actually have. My city used to be one of the top ten dirtiest cities in the country back in the 60's/70's and now it's very clean and beautiful and nicknamed the "scenic city" even. Uh hun I used the documentary to show how things would be like if the government was privitized like our military is becoming. PLEASE FREAKIN READ WHAT I SAY! If you're not going to read and comprehend what I'm typing to you than don't bother. Once again with business everything is private. With the government it's out in the open. I find it very interesting how you all are so trusting of these so-called corporations. Huh until you get #ed by a China toy with poison.

I'm so glad to see you brought up 'Iraq for sale' and tried to use it as an example of what the war would be like under a Paul administration. Especially since he voted against the War, and has said he would begin troop withdrawals immediately. It is because of this that I am somewhat confused by you bringing up such a fine documentary in an attempt to smear Dr. Paul.

I don't know, to this day, how your mighty ship of state has attempted to stop the abuses of power with regard to military contractors. Perhaps you have an example, I mean, At least the government will protect you from this sort of thing, right?

The question does remain however. Prior to 1913 we were the largest, most technologically advanced trading power the world had ever seen throughout the entire history of the human race. And we did it all under the same conditions that Ron Paul wants to return us too.

The only thing I can gather with absolute clarity in every post you have written in this thread thus far, is that your logic is severely flawed.

Okay thats it, please take your "opinions" into another thread, you are completely out of line and you are derailing my thread.

I honestly don't have time tonight to read all the pages but I did read everything on his official site. Not much to argue with and what I did read does not back up the claims made about him.

I'm sure someone else has brought this up, but - If he is indeed unelectable then every time a Democrat would donate money to him it would help put a Democrat in the Whitehouse would it not? Just saying. If I were a less than honest person and I belonged to a Party (just the thought of joining one gives me a chill) in this case the Democrats, I would immediately know that every dollar I donate to Paul is a dollar that would help the Democratic Candidate. Conspiracy? Could be?

Well sure unless you're a teacher, a woman, a union member or you work for the government. Under Ron Paul I guess I should start looking for a corporation to work for and get paid $.25 an hour.

So I guess his voting record isn't good enough for you. How sad. Huh than again you guys don't trust the federal government even though you're working and putting your trust in someone who is still a part of that same intity. How ironic.

So all you Ron Paul people stop acting like that towards me and it won't have to happen. Here I thought you all were supposed to be for "liberty" and "freedom" but apparently not! You're all for it until someone like me comes a long and than you get your holier than thou bull# attitude and force your beliefs onto others and if they don't agree you act like #! Why don't you start acting like your rhetoric?

Yeah... everyone thank 'southernbelle' for turning this thread into her personal anti-Paul blog I've already sent an ALERT for derailing this thread so badly.

I also have had enough of the trollish behavior, untruths, and other nonsense with certain party’s who I need not name. I say we just stop feeding the troll, and maybe it will find another bridge to park itself under.
