Ron Paul: A 2012 Revolution

Will Ron Paul Run for President in 2012?

***Update 8-18-2010***

Ron Paul address the rumors and said that he does not have plans to run or to not run at this time.  He did say he is basing his decision on whether he feels he will have enough support for another run.

Well Ron,  You have my support and many other people I know.  Please run.  I will respect your decision either way.  Thanks for standing up for truth and standing against corruption, deceit, and lies.

That’s the question everyone is asking.  Will Ron Paul run in 2012?  It would be great if Dr. Paul would run for president in 2012 and rumors are that he will.  It looks like the servers at www.dailypaul.com crashed this morning on the idea that it may happen.  There may still be time to reverse the collision course our country is on.

There is real hope for our country if Ron Paul can continue his campaign of education during the next presidential election cycle.  Every day more and more people are educated on the principles of liberty & peace.

The best reason to vote for Ron Paul as ‘Commander in Chief’ in 2012 is that he “doesn’t want to run your life” and believe “the constitution doesn’t give him the authority to run your life.”  Let’s all hope that the good Dr. Ron Paul decides to run for President in 2012.

Time to Stop the Violence says Dr. Ron Paul

I must say I agree.  Let’s break this cycle of violence and live in peace.  There is a lot of work ahead of us though.  Thanks Dr. Paul for defending peace and true Christianity.

Ron Paul: Health Care Bill Makes System Worse

Healthcare Reform Bill Ignores Real Problem – Ron Paul

By Dr. Ron Paul

Following months of heated public debate and aggressive closed-door negotiations, Congress finally cast a historic vote on healthcare late Sunday evening. It was truly a sad weekend on the House floor as we witnessed further dismantling of the Constitution, disregard of the will of the people, explosive expansion of the reach of government, unprecedented corporate favoritism, and the impending end of quality healthcare as we know it.

Those in favor of this bill touted their good intentions of ensuring quality healthcare for all Americans, as if those of us against the bill are against good medical care. They cite fanciful statistics of deficit reduction, while simultaneously planning to expand the already struggling medical welfare programs we currently have. They somehow think that healthcare in this country will be improved by swelling our welfare rolls and cutting reimbursement payments to doctors who are already losing money. It is estimated that thousands of doctors will be economically forced out of the profession should this government fuzzy math actually try to become healthcare reality. No one has thought to ask what good mandatory health insurance will be if people can’t find a doctor.

Legislative hopes and dreams don’t always stand up well against economic realities.

Ron Paul Discusses Healthcare Reform

Ron Paul Challenges GOP’s Foreign Policy Agenda

By Doug Bandow

It has been nearly a decade since President George W. Bush chose arrogance over humility as the basis of American foreign policy. The intervening years have not been good for the United States or the Republican Party. As the GOP seeks to take back the White House it needs to conduct a serious foreign policy debate. Republicans should start by listening to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas).

At the recent Southern Republican Leadership Conference big spending Mitt Romney bested Rep. Paul by just one vote in the popularity contest. Yet Paul eschewed reliance on easy applause lines and challenged the newfound Republican fondness for big militaries and constant wars.

For instance, Paul observed that conservatives, like liberals, enjoyed spending money, only “on different things. They like embassies, and they like occupation. They like the empire. They like to be in 135 countries and 700 bases.”

Similarly, Paul said, conservatives talked about following the Constitution, “except for war. Let the president go to war anytime they want.”

Paul garnered applause from more youthful members of the audience. But boos were heard as well. Many establishment GOP activists appear to have become wedded to a big-government foreign policy.

When Politico polled activists and analysts about why the GOP mainstream was hostile to Paul, James Carafano of the Heritage Foundation complained that “The deliberate self-weakening of America is an invitation to disaster.” Carafano argued that Paul failed to fulfill the constitutional obligation to “provide for the common defense” and that the latter’s vision would not keep America “safe, free, and prosperous.”

Yet Washington’s policy of promiscuous intervention is not providing for America’s “common defense.” Rather, the U.S. is protecting virtually every other nation. That’s one reason why the Pentagon was incapable of defending Americans when the U.S. was attacked on 9/11,

Ron Paul and the Presidency – It’s Closer than the Media thinks

By Doug Wead

“Control the coinage and the courts, the rabble can have the rest.” – The Princess Irulan in Frank Herbert’s Dune.

Last week was a good week for the so-called “constitutional wing” of the Republican Party, those indomitable Ron Paul people. Okay, sure, the next presidential election is a long way off but a recent snapshot taken by pollsters shows a surprising opening for the Texas congressman, the man who says that the Federal Reserve should be audited. The general public is moving toward Ron Paul, even if most of them don’t even know who he is.
