Default Uh oh Ron's in trouble

Look's like he's been exposed for the racist he is. And when will folks learn people are not stupid enough to believe he doesn't know who wrote them (ummm yeah sure Ronnie after all how would you know what was in the "Ron Paul Report")

like i said before a fraud and a racist and thankfully irrelevant

I can easily accept the fact that he didn't read, or write, his own newsletters. This is not because I am a "stupid person" nor do I have blinders on to the "truth". The reason I believe it is simple. Check out this web site...www.loiskwilsoncpa.com. Note that on the top of every page it says Lois K. Wilson, CPA. If you ASSume Lois wrote the content on this site you would be dead wrong. I developed the site and wrote everything. Lois looked at it once and will, in all likelihood, never look at it again. I could put anything on there and she would never know it. We also send out newsletters to our clients, all of them written by me and never even reviewed by Lois. This is because she trusts me to reflect her views. Ron Paul obviously trusted the wrong person, or persons, to write his newsletter, but this does not make him a racist. I have yet to see any real proof that these allegations are true. If anything, his policies show him to be non-discriminatory. He wants to stop the "War on Drugs" partly because it tends to discriminate against minorities. 14% of all drug arrests are minorities, yet 69% of those convicted are minorities. Would a racist want to change that? Of course not. As to gay marriages, he supports the right of individuals to marry whomever they choose, regardless of gender. He has been in public office for quite a while and never once supported any legislation that discriminates against any group of people based on race, sex or religion. In my opinion actions speak louder than words...

You were awfully quick in defending allegations that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a muslim, yet you refuse to consider the possibility that the allegations against Ron Paul are false. Sounds like discrimination on your part between Republicans and Democrats. I suggest you check out what Dennis Kucinich thinks about Ron Paul. He has stated publicly that he would seriously consider him as a running mate. Do you believe Dennis Kucinich would consider a racist for a running mate? I don't.

the newsletter has a history of publishing similar stuff for over a decade. if you want to believe that in 10 years he didn't know what was in his newsletter i can accept that...but, what does it say about the man? he's not even concerned enough to verify what his name represents?

sounds awfully similar to barry bonds' defense of I don't know what i'm putting in my body.

either he's a liar or he's stupid. neither is a quality one should look for in the chief executive.

but truth is there's little reason to debate the issue or to even let it become an issue, he's not going to factor into the november election anymore than he's currently factoring into the GOP nomination process. so it's all a moot point.

again i realize debating the ron paul factor is pointless but did you even check into his record? i ask because a quick perusal (some of it i highlighted for you in the other thread) would quickly show how inaccurate the above statements are.

i should say though, i don't blame folks for finding him an attractive candidate. if his record supported the words we hear coming from his campaigners, i'd be on the elect ron paul bandwagon too. sadly though they don't.

his own words and history tell a different story. but if either party could ever find a candidate who believed what ron paul says, then you can bet i'd be working overtime to get him/her elected.

the nice thing is that at least among the grass roots population it seems there are many citizens who feel such a candidate is desirable, now we have to search to actually find one.

Some of the bills you cited I don't agree with. Many others I do agree with. But I really don't see any of them as racist. What I see is that he is for limited government control. He doesn't believe that the government should have control of our educational system. Ever since they took control the system has declined.

He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve. And what's wrong with that? The Federal Reserve is not a government controlled entity. It is a group of private bankers printing money and loaning it to the US with interest. Our tax dollars go to pay off that interest. The one thing the government SHOULD have control over is our monetary system. Instead, the Rockefeller's, Rothchild's and other elites were given that power.

He wants to abolish the IRS. HALLELUYAH...This could put me out of a job but it's worth it. Every year I do hundreds of tax returns and I see hundreds, if not more, of injustices done by the IRS.

Have you seen the documentary by Aaron Russo called America:Freedom to Fascism? http://www.freedomtofascism.com/
It's well worth the time.

I could address each bill individually but I don't have the time. Suffice it to say, that I believe he is sincere in his desire for limited government control which I strongly believe in. It's time we took back our rights and stop letting the feds govern every move we make.

Messing with the "Federal Reserve" will surely get him assassinated.

Very possible...he's actually been advised of this and states that he's aware of the risks but chooses to stand up for the truth anyway. He talks a lot about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi and civil disobedience. The only reason he's still alive is probably because he is still not considered a serious contender for President.

Well...I am a Ron Paul supporter and have already (in another post a few days ago) suggested him for VP running with Cain....
