Ron Paul Facts - NO Hillary Clinton For President

WiseOne · #1 03.06.2007

[ Ronald Ernest “Ron” Paul (born 20 August 1935) is an American physician and politician from the U.S. state of Texas. A Republican, he has represented Texas's 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1997, and had previously served as the representative from Texas's 22nd district in 1976 and from 1979 to 1985.

In 1984, Paul ran in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by John Tower, but the nomination went to Phil Gramm. Paul also supported term limits for members of Congress at the time and likened himself to the famous Senator Robert A. Taft. Paul was the Libertarian Party nominee for president in the 1988 election. After his failed presidential bid, Paul returned to Congress in 1997. He was again elected as a Republican, but against the wishes of the party leadership, which had backed Paul's primary opponent. His opponent in the primary was the incumbent representative, a former Democrat who had switched his party affiliation to Republican in the aftermath of the 1994 Republican Revolution. On 11 January 2007, Paul announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a 2008 presidential campaign. ]

It would be a great day if term limits were enacted in order to rid us of career liars like Teddy I can't drive Kennedy, Robert KKK Byrd, etc etc etc.

A great day indeed! Senators should have no more than TWO 6 year terms, period. Also, if a Senator has done something as bad as Ted did, they should never even be allowed on the darn ballot, period.

Altough Hawaii is a Democratic Communist state, which have been under the strangle hold of the Democrates for 50yrs. We now have a Republican Governor, who is Pro-choice, I feel she doesn't reflect the popular sentiment. I wish more people in Hawaii would support Ron Paul, just his stand on IRS would make a huge impact in Hawaii, we have more people fighting the IRS than any other State. I feel Ron Paul is the last hope of a Moral Nation. He ideas are so sincere he is the only politician left in Congress that will listen to the people, last chance America, for a Nation under God.

Contrary to popular belief, Ron Paul supports manditory (not voluntary) term limits for congress. As a matter of fact, I believe he co-sponsored a bill that placed term limits on congress. But like many good bills, it didn't get enough support.
And quite frankly, I can't stand the thought of term limits. That would be like biting your nose, to spite your face. I mean seriously, why would you want to get rid of a great congressman, who supports your values and issues. Someone who brings money back to his/her district to help create jobs and other things needed in your district. Someone who doesn't allow lobbyist, or special intrest groups into their circle. Someone who supports and fights for things that is best or you and your distrtict.

In a country that is as scared of change as this one is, I can't see why anyone would support term limits. Especailly with all the lying politicians that are just waiting to get their hands on a congressional seat.

I don't think it's good to get rid of any good people. Thats what elections are for. The only time it is good, is when you have a lying cheat of a president or congressman. Then it's a good thing.
But to get rid of a good person, isn't too smart. Then you have a roller coaster ride of good and bad.
Besides, thats what elections are for.

I so totally agree with you!

Why get rid of a good thing. One very good way to rid ourselves of bad congressmen, is to insure free and fair elections.
Democrats can monipulate vote counts as good if not better than neocons.
The problem with America, on this issue, is that too many people actually keep up with who their elected officials are or what they are doing, who they associate with, and behind the scene events that go on.
For example, if more people in Ted kennedy's state knew how much involvment Ted has with Exxon/Mobil, I'm sure he wouldn't still be there.

Bingo!
But elections are neither fair nor free.
