Ron Paul on President Obama’s Chances of Reaching a ‘Grand Bargain’: Probably Zero

Nov. 14, 2012 9:00pm Becket Adams

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) during a Tuesday interview on Bloomberg TV said that the chances of President Obama reaching some sort of “grand bargain” with Congress to avoid the “fiscal cliff” are “probably zero.”

Why?

Well, according to Paul, no one in Washington is willing to face up to the economic realities of our country. Consequently, the congressman argues, Washington’s elite will go round and round like they did during 2011′s debt-ceiling debate and put off the inevitable.

And what is the “inevitable,” you ask? Oh, just the crash of the U.S. dollar the collapse of our nation’s economy. That’s all.

“We are at a point of no return” the Texas congressman warned, “we are not the productive nation we used to be.”

I never would have thought that it was possible for Ron Paul to win the Presidency but neither did I think that it would go the way it did for the reasons it did.

If you look at it from the perspective of how Obama won you can only conclude that Ron Paul would’ve won instead.

RP would’ve got the Hispanic vote, lost the women vote, got the young vote, lost the Black vote, got the Republican vote, got the Independent vote….Strange huh?

“I cant be bothered with this – I have an election to win” – Said every politician, always.

The Grand Bargain will be a new currency called the AMERO…Remember that? We will form the North American Union with Canada And Mexico and our constitution and sovereignty will be GONE forever. Thanks for your support of Ron Paul, Glenn Pat, Stu and The BLAZE!! Pat’s disdain for the congressman killed the country when we had at least a fighting chance to get our fiscal house in order. Ron would have done it. We would have Been Iceland on a much larger scale but Glenn’s FEARMONGERING kept us from believing in Liberty. Sad.

  TIME: yeah thank the good Lord that we ran with Romney, eh? You compromised your vision of an economically sound America to vote for the ‘popular’ GOP candidate. You got suckered just like in 2008. truly you are a political hack and excess baggage to those who are trying to save our country. Your short-lived victory of a Romney campaign has ended with a second term for Obama. Your words and criticisms mean about as much as your now out-dated avatar name. Go beat feet, lil’ dancer.
  
  NEXT!

  “GOP refused to consider Ron and his 10% voting block. It cost the GOP the WH, no more whining GOP…”
  
  Paul-bots voted for a third party (Gary Johnson) and many of you proudly proclaimed that, to get revenge, you actually voted for obama. Then, you want to blame us for losing the election…? That’s as bad as the guy who had an argument with his wife, went out and slammed his own hand in his car door, then asked her, “See what you did? What do you think about that?”
  And you guys wanted us to take you seriously. Give me a break!

I supported Ron Paul, but once Romney was the nominee, Ron Paul should have enthusiastically got behind him…….and we wouldn’t have Odumbass for four more years……so now he can just shut the hell up,,,,,,,

Ron Paul is a man of character and is consistent and intelligent. Too bad he wasn’t on the presidential ticket . I wonder how many libertarians stayed home on Election Day. All I hear is we have to pander to this group or that group. How about the fact that many didn’t go out to vote!
We can expect Ron Paul supporters will continue with the liberty movement in all the states.

  Ron Paul is a fraud, a phony and a snake oil salesman who wanted to “use” the Constitution to pursue a diseased strain of isolationist and morally bancrupt thrifty Liberal-tarianism.
  
  He was like an absentee landlord in his own Congressional district for starters…

I believe him. He’s proved remarkably accurate in all his predictions. I don’t think anyone in Congress understands the economy better than he does either. Plus most of them are nothing but a bunch of greedy power sluts.

Of course he won’t. Obama is annoyed that he has to deal with any of this in the first place. He is building a Utopia and things like debates with Romney, or Press Conferences with the media, are just an annoyance. How dare you question him about Benghazi?!!! He is changing the world and making it tolerant, eliminating hate, poverty, and injustice.

Honestly shame on you procrastinating RINO’s that just kept finishing your extravagant lunches every effing day while the ******** ruin everything that the exceptional founders created 230 years ago. You were weak when we elected you to be strong. For those of you that are still in office we need you. You have time to turn it around. There will be pain, and likely death, but I’d rather deal with both than live in a country that I no longer recognize.
