Default Ron Paul the New Reagan?

Yep. Ron Paul's HR 1207 transcends partisan politics and upsets Congressional leadership | Political Lore .com Auditing the FED sounds like a good idea. What has it done with the taxpayers' money exactly? Is government too corrupt to account for it? Something we must do every April when we have our accountants or Turbo Tax do our taxes.

Maybe Republicans are finally good for something with this legislation. Go Ron Paul!

I love my country but I don't trust the government.

I read someplace a while back that his son is being encouraged to get into politics. Ron is too old to have a measurable future IMO, so maybe his son has enough time to matter. Who knows.

Rand Paul is running for Senate, or House in Kentucky. In OCt. he will be coming down to FL to raise funds.

The Entire RP campaign has remained active, As the NEO cons fade away, I believe the RP style Republicans are going to move into power.

Ron Paul isn't the new Reagan. I read an article a few weeks ago saying that even Milton Friedman (the economic hero of conservatives) would be against auditing the Fed. I think the idea of the Fed is that it must have a fairly invisible hand in order to regulate the economy, since capitalism does not work smoothly and a confluence of events can lead it in dangerous directions. The feeling is that when the Fed steps in, some people benefit and the Fed understands this will happen, but their benefits will benefit the economy. If the Fed is audited, it will be subject to all sorts of political pressures that would make it less effective. That said, I do agree with Paul's call for the Fed to be audited. I think if that happened, at least a few conservatives wouldn't have such compassion for the wealthy.

you could have just said that the fed should not be held monetarily accountable........which is utterly ridiculous

Ron Paul is the man.

I had a Paul sign up until the morons in the Repub Party nominated McCain. Then I had no one to vote for anymore in Mass, so I picked Nader by default. I hate the Republicrat Party and what it has been doing with this country's treasure and blood. They take turns in power (red then blue) and nothing changes.

Paul doesn't stand a chance, I'm afraid, but maybe some of what he stands for will take hold someday. The IRS, the Fed, foreign aid, corporate welfare pigs, the prisons and the Military/Congress Industrial Complex are all out of control. Problem is, they're the ones really running the country.

I am shocked

You do realize that he is pro-life, against gay marriage and does not believe in affirmative action?

Also against the death tax, progressive tax scale and robin hood economics?

Why are you shocked?

Pro life is like saying you believe in slavery. Reproductive choice is the law. Congress can try to pass a law forbidding abortion but it will ultimately be up to the Supremes. Ron Paul; can only nominate justices who are opposed to abortion on demand, but I doubt that would be one of his litmus tests.

On marriage, Paul would (I believe) remove the government from ALL marriage and put it into the hands of churches, temples and covens, where it belongs, which I support. He would have to being a Libertarian.

I am opposed to affirmative action. Always have been.

Did you know he would close all foreign military bases and withdraw all troops to within American borders? He wouls also eliminate all foreign aid...even to Israel?

Not sure what Robin Hood economics is. Does it have anything to do with bailing out AIG?

I don't support every position Paul has, but the big ones I like. Especially abolishing the IRS.

I believe it should be up to the states to decide, think this might be his position, but I don't want to make this an abortion argument, not my goal.

Good.

I could live with that, as long as we would pull out, and kick out the UN.

It is bailouts to EIC and everything in between.

Abolishing the IRS is a great idea, probably why it will never happen
