Termyn8or -> RE: Ron Paul defends funds requests (12/24/2007 12:37:41 PM)

Oh boy.
I have read the pertinent part of that transcript. What I am going to say may shock some, but, glad to make your day.
After reading that I would say that Dr. Paul is not all that intelligent. I'd rate his IQ at somewhere around 135. Is this smart enough to run a country ? Well look at what we got now.
Maybe he's only a 125, but IQ isn't the end all tell all of intelligence. IMO Ron paul should shut up. Maybe. It seems that his words do inspire some to support him, and indeed for good reason, but for one such as me every time he talks I hear something I don't like.
His IQ might be up there, after all he is an MD, but I don't think he is really all that smart. And I don't think he has the capacity to remove his personal beliefs from his public service.
He really should shut the fuck up, I really do support him in the absence of a better candidate, but he is not perfect. Understand this, I support Paul because he is the best Man for the job who might have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it. I never said he was so good, yes he is good, but what I am saying is that the others are so bad that I have no other choice.
Dr. Paul shot himself in the foot with a bill he should've known would never pass, one that would make a pregnant Woman legally responsible for the health of the fetus. From what I read it could be interpreted so that if a pregnant Woman had a glass of wine and fell down a flight of steps causing a miscarriage, she could be charged with manslaughter.
Folks, this is indeed a sad state of affairs, now we have the lesser of many evils with a bare, minor, almost non-existent chance of wnning, and IMO he is the best choice.
For example I bet he don't like fags. I would bet money on it, all my money. And I'll tell you what, homosexuality exists, some people are like that, and while I am not, if elected they would still be my constituents. They have rights. I am personally against it, for personal as well as logical reasons, my personal preferences aside I'll say this. If everyone was homosexual there would be no more people.
That is the only tangible negative thing I can come up with. There are three hundred million fucking people in this country. If half of them don't fuck members of the opposite sex, in today's upside down world, it is not wrong. In fact I believe it is a response to global conditions. I mean think about it, there are too many people, and now guys like guys and girls like girls. I think the human race in toto is practicing a bit of restraint. (no pun intended, not that there was one but some here might see one)
You'll be very lucky to get Ron Paul. While I say he is not all that smart, at least he has a heart, and I believe him to be an honest Man. But if you were to elect me instead, things might grind to a mighty halt for a short time. Things would be tough, but I prefer to take my growing pains all at once, and would lead the nation that way.
What I would do would freak you out, but it would turn out good in the end, and there would be a better country for your children. You don't want me, you just don't know what I would do. But Ron Paul is not as radical, and understand this, even if you elect Paul, who I say is not all that smart, perhaps 135, there will still be some hardship.
Mr. Paul is OK, and he is old. He knows hardship, though he didn't live through the depression in any meaningful way, by that I mean he was little, but he still knows how to do without. Everyone of that age does. They grew up before credit cards even existed.
Even though not the breadwinner of the family, people used to get by without. It teaches. And be aware that a vote for Ron Pauol is vote to do without. We will all have to, and the thing is, if someone who has some idea of fiscal responsibility gets in, we will have to do without.
But as a leader I would think it would be better to do without alot less now than alot more later. We are mortgaging our children's future, as our ancestors did unto us. It is time for this to stop. It is wrong, it was wrong when it started and is wronger now than it ever has been. We are being killed.
They take all our money, they fucked up the schools. They took all the jobs out of the country. Now we have dormant factories across the land, and we do not have the people equipped to upgrade and run them anyway, so our downslide in the economic sense is pretty much unrecoverable. Some leaders we've had.
You need to know just how bad it is, we are dead meat now. If Paul gets elected the interest on the national debt wil increase, China is likely to dump dollars at that point. We will become an isolationist nation whether it was planned or not because our money won't be good anywhere else. This is where the this "leadership" has gotten us for the last fifty years.
American money almost used to be the gold standard worldwide. And when I say it is going to be no good, I am VERY sure of what I say. The difference is that a fiscally responsible administration could make the hit alot less hard. Like in a poker game, fold now before you put your last (borrowed) hundred bucks in the pot.
You might think I am kidding, or you might think I am full of shit. You might sit there and ay "HAHA you can't scare me, I make a half a million a year", well I got some news for you. That ain't shit. And just what does that income depend on ?
As far as Ron Paul goes, as a rep, he is expected to bring those tax dollars back. In this insidiously nasty system, the feds take the most, and then give some back sometimes. Years ago I read that California actually got back more than their People paid in, well ain't that just fine and dandy ?
Why the fuck do my tax dollars go to help some rock star in Hollywood ? You see it is a game, they take alot, and give alot. But they take from everyone and pick and choose who to give our money to, and usually attach strings.
The whole fucking thing needs to be scrapped. Remember 55 ? Your age might come into play here, I have to be cognizant of mine (47). The federal government decided that the national speed limit should be 55, and if the states did not enact a statewide 55MPH speed limit they would be denied federal highway funds. Who do they think they are ?
And if you remember, the state of Nevada told them to stick it up their ass.
They did away with 55, so I ask this, if it were so important then, why is it not now ? If a compelling reason existed then to invade all our lives, make driving across Texas a carreer, slow us all down for our own good, if it was that good of an idea then, why is it not now ? What has changed ?
It is things like this that make me support Ron Paul, in spite of our differences. States rights, and people's rights, he has a notion that they exist. Other candidates give lip service to this notion, but in reality all they want is to be a dictator.
Would you like your grain of salt ground or pounded ? (yeah, go ahead and tell me to pound salt, and believe me I actually have pounded salt)
Enough. Be well.
