Republican National Convention Runs Tribute Video for Ron Paul

A video honoring of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is displayed during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2012. Credit: AP

The much anticipated tribute video for Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) at the Republican National Convention is sure to leave a lasting impression throughout the rest of the GOP convention, just as Paul has apparently left one during his 22 years in Congress. The video features big name Republicans praising the Texas congressman for standing up for conservative principles, including Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

“For those with dedication. Character. Faith and conviction. Sometimes that lonely path paves the way forward for millions,” says a narrator in the video. “Ron Paul. 22 years in Congress. He’s never voted for a tax increase. Never voted for a debt ceiling increase. Never wavered. Never backed down.”

“The role of government ought to be for the protection of liberty, not for the intrusion into our private lives,” Paul says. “I was surprised I ever won because I thought this message would not go well with the people.”

Paul’s wife says that her husband never thought he would get elected.

“When I first got to the House, I thought Ron Paul was nuts,” DeMint says. “But more and more I found myself voting with him.”

“Ron Paul is the only one I know who made a difference by making a point,” McConnell says.

Rand Paul said that Capitol Hill lobbyists don’t even bother with his dad because “they know he can’t be bought.”

“Ron Paul was Tea Party before there was a Tea Party,” said DeMint.

“Whether people want to admit it or not, Ron Paul changed the conversation,” McConnell concluded.

    So much spewing of hatred being expressed by others here — no wonder I know so many people who are 100% fed up with politicians and the party followers that they have already decided they will not vote at all. The name calling, the insults, the hateful labels, and after the wonderful Restore Love event that Glenn hosted seems it was all for nothing.

    I am leaning to the ‘I ain’t playing the voter game this year’ with others I know. JUST so fed up with the petty bickering, insults, and ‘bot’ calling anyone whom one disagrees with.

    I am turning off all coverage of the presidential elections in my home because I am fed up with the hostilities.

    WHATEVER happened to the Restoring Love — the compassion, the kindness, the working TOGETHER for a better America. Didn’t take long for that all to just fizzle away….long gone….

      I will not stand for a candidate who doesn’t represent my views. So, no, I will not vote Romney. Put a gun to my head and pull the trigger, still won’t change my vote. I am standing on principle because that is what the country needs, not another slick politician handed to us by the party elites.

      To all of you saying a vote for Gary Johnson, a vote for Ron Paul or anyone but Romney is a vote for Obama, you will never admit you have a problem, just like an alcoholic, until you have lost everything!! This is what you are about to have happen. If you decide to vote for Mitt Romney, a Republican that leans so far left he is about to fall over, you will be responsible for another four years of Obama! Mitt Romney and his campaign committed federal crimes during the primary against an honorable man that has given 30 years of his life to service to the Constitution. They illegally stripped elected delegates from him, committed election fraud against him, treated him with disdain at the convention and now that they have pushed him aside, they are going after Gary Johnson, another honorable man that has a much better record as a governor than Mitt Romney!! The RNC and Romney campaign have changed rules for elections that make it impossible for any grassroots candidate (Tea Party), to have an effective campaign, EVER! They have stripped the peoples voice and that is absolutely reprehensible! If you vote for Romney at this point, you cannot be considered a true Tea Party voter. If everyone were to wake up to the dangerous dealings that Romney and the RNC are doing, we could elect Johnson, and we would get Democrats to vote for him also.

      Time_2 below shows everyone that Republicans like him are the tories of yesteryear.

      I have been blogging with the Tea Party voters at Freedom Works, and they are up in arms also, many of which are looking to Gary Johnson now after the blatant power play by Romney and the RNC. Romney has not a chance in heII of winning guys, you are going to have to face this before November or suffer another four years.

      A “throw in the towel” attitude like the one you say that you have is what the left is counting on. We need to get super fired up and cast as many votes against Obama as possible. The future of America is at stake and for Obama and the leftist, Progressive, Marxist movement ~ their take-over of America is at stake. We are in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and the score is basically tied between those that love America and those that don’t. You and we all need to vote against Obama or just shut up with the whining and negativity and let them shove Marxism up our butts; just like they shoved ObamaCare up our butts.

Look we all understand the lesser of two evils but at some point you have to stop supporting evil all together or else there will always be evil in the White House. I think America has reached that point time to stop supporting evil time to destroy the establishment if it takes giving tyranny 4 more years to wake up the people then thats what it takes. But the wake up call will be heard and real change will come and liberty will reign when the bells finally tone.

      Maybe Romney will force our vote like he Forced HALF of Maine’s legally elected delegates to be Romney delegates. We elect our delegates at the state convention, not at the caucus. The caucus is very informal. You write your choice on a piece of paper and pass them down to the Caucus Chair ( who may or not support your choice). There you elect delegates to go to the State Convention where these delegates vote for who THEY want for president and elect delegates to go to the Republican National Convention. All states have their own rules. These are MAINE’s rules. Maybe Maine should go back to having a primary.
      The silence here on the Blaze about the details of the Rules changes at the RNC Convention is very loud. Just ’cause you don’t like Ron Paul.
      WAKE UP!
      First they changed Ron Paul’s delegates ( and several other states’ too)
      But I din’t care… I wasn’t a “PAULBOT”….

      Glenn says Romney is a man of character. I believe Romney is a good man. But Romney allowed McCain to push him around at the debates and he allowed the RNC to push him to go along with this disgraceful use of force. I don‘t want to believe this was Romney’s idea. We’ve had enough force already. What will this progressive candidate be like when president?

      Obama’s America is not an option, but looking at what Romney allowed to happen the first day of the convention, the future looks bleak for America. Pray to our dear God.

      The TSA is afraid of Ron Paul. Yesterday TSA searched Ron Paul‘s private chartered planes for bombs saying that Mitt Romney was in the area and they had to determine if Paul’s plane was a threat. They also did pat downs on his entire entourage, and finally stopped the harassment when a Paul assistant started to video tape the attempted pat down of Paul’s wife.

      So let’s see, Paul was going to have the pilot fly the private chartered plane into the GOP convention hall in a Kamikaze attempt to take out Mitt Romney? TSA is the American Gestapo, and I am sure Romney supports their “efforts” 100%, just like Obama.

I will spend this season working hard to get as many votes as I can for Gary Johnson, being that Liberty Loving small government, states right people have been snubbed by the GOP.

      Only Reagan was a person that did something good for our nation, and he got it Despite the establishment GOP. Ron Paul would have been the same, except all media figures was threatended, and som lost their job/show for supporting Ron Paul. (Freedom Watch on Fox with Judge Andrew Napolitcano). Despte Ron Paul standing up for all that most Talk Radio personatlities have claimed to stand for. But they where told not even to mention his name, and being cowards, that they were they obliged. The media was nice to him after 2008 when he was no longer a threat, and his predictions from 1998 and 2002 came true they did give him air time and had him on their shows. But when it became apparant that he was the frong runner, the threats where made and the complisant cowards in media was more afraid of loosing their job, than standing up for their convictions. Sorry to say that Americans of today are cowards.

      Gary Johnson will be the first non Republican I have ever voted for. Me along with millions of Americans. So when Obama gets sworn in again, you can attribuite it to your lack of conviction in the prinsipals of our constitution, and in your ignorance, and on how easliy you fall for anything you hear on TV / talk radio. Instead of wasting your life on sports / TV and other usless dribble, you should have taken the responsibillity to be informed…

      For the informed people we understand that we are fighting a fight of philosophy. Mitt is the philosophy of expediency and cowardice and today. Ron Paul is the philosopy of our founding fathers, long term succes comes from a small government, states rights, sound money, privacy, and private property as laid out in the constitution. It is Ron Pauls philosoply, that Gary Johnson is committed to govern by.

      Forget 2016! Will there be a USA as we know it in 2025 if Mitt gets in? This is the time to through our support behind Gary Johnson, and the principals that he stands for, to send a message to the GOP, and if not undermind the GOP and replace it with the Libertarian Party.

      Ron Paul has started a movement that is not going to go away any time soon..Ron has left his mark on our political conscience ,,I never thought him 100% right just 95%…I wonder if any of the Paul haters even took the time to visit his website and read about his stand on the issues. It seems we are not yet ready to elect a constitutional conservative,who believes in peace instead of war. He may have been one of the only honest politicians we have in Washington…..

      Lew Rockwell is and has been an embarrassment to the Libertarian movement and you’re embarrassing yourself by speaking positively on his behalf. I can’t, and nobody should take you seriously until you come to grips with that basic fact.

      What I find tragicly ironic about the lunatic fringe of the GOP, which Time-2 perfectly demonstrates, is how blatantly duplicitous they are – in all matters great and small.

      While they tout fiscal responsibility and economic truth – they trash Hayek, Rothbard, Friedman and anyone else that points out the complete failure of Keynesian economics. The complete assasination of Peter Schiff in the CT Senate race comes to mind. Instead the GOP gave us the wife of a WWF magnate?. I suppose that is the yankee equivalent of sending Larry the Cable guy’s momma to the Senate.

      While they would feign freedom and liberty – they champion the destruction of the same by trying to convince folks the NDAA is a “just” and “necessary” abridgement of the Bill of Rights. All 10 of them, in case anyone is counting.

      They construct a false history of grandiose triumph and try to pass it off as immutable truth in opposition to plain, researchable fact. The authors of the 1860 Republican platform must be rolling in their graves with torment each time the 2012 platform is enunciated. On matters of policy, the two platforms are as diametricly opposed as comparing Marx to Mises.

      There are lunatics roaming in every Party – they are identified by utopian sentiments like “I wish everybody could be like me – then we’d get along great!” and secretly bowing to the Fabian Socialist window with idolatrous ferver. Praying that they can create their own “perfection on earth”.

      And it was proven that Rockwell did not write “the newsletters”, some middle-upper manager for Forbes did. And he was fired for it. It speaks volumes that Ron Paul didn’t throw him under the bus for it.

      Ron Paul himself isn’t anyone to be afraid of. It’s losing the support of the fiscal conservatives in the party that has the GOP terrified.

    You won’t feel it today. You won’t feel it next week, or even perhaps next month. Feel it you eventually will, and when everything you hold dear spirals so far out of control, you start screaming and blaming and finger pointing filled with vitriol, there‘s only one place to go if you want to know who’s really guilty. A mirror.

    No Democrat or Republican will pull America out of this downward spiral. Because you would rather finger point, insult, berate and cast blame elsewhere, you all failed to pull together to do the right thing. What that thing was, doesn’t matter anymore. It’s too late. You ALL lost.

    And you deserve it.

      V15,

      I’m going to be real blunt. Mr Romney and Mr. Ryan are writing a big check that I hope their asses are big enough to cash. The RNC platform is pretty darn steep. Admittedly not steep enough on fiscal issues – but a drastic incline compared to the past 30 years of bullcrap ( from both sides ).

      If they don’t deliver. Its over. Its just that simple.

      Its pretty obvious the video is a ploy to garner my vote – and I likely will. But, that doesn’t mean it will be there in 2014 or 2016. In fact, if they don’t deliver on their platform noticably by 2014 – things will go very badly in the mid-terms. I’m not all that cozy with the strong-arming of Paul delegates at the convention. If Romney exhibits this type behavior as President, I’ll be just as adamantly opposed to his posterior as I am Obama right now. Count on it.

      This is the Republican’s moment. If they win, they still have to deliver. If they don’t deliver – the party will be extinct by 2016. They will be remembered, rightfully, as Whigs.

      So, back up your **** with results – or else. I may be regressing to my redneck roots – but that’s just how serious this is.

      And yeah, aside from my business – my largest investment is in Hornady ballistic tip bullets for all my guns. Great rounds, makes my .357 as long range as a 30-30 used to be – with more damage.

      V15,

      Good.- then we understand what we’re agreeing on.

      I want to clarify something. Ron Paul was burned by Reagan in the 80′s. Even though the scope of things may be different, I understand the basic situation. I suspect most of us do in some capacity. Ron isn’t endorsing Romney for the same reasons, and to be frank, is making his stand to keep the Romney promises honest. I understand that. Its not so much an affront to the RNC as much as it is a statement of “prove it”.

      I feel the exact same way. It really is time to “prove it” or go away.

      I sincerly hope that the modern incarnation of the Republican party “proves it”. I’m throwing down with them one last time, to give them the chance . An immensely important chance, as it may be the last for any of us. I really don’t like alot of what has gone on, but this is the last roundup on all accounts associated. We all know this, whether we like it or not.

      As someone who knows the responsibility to uphold both his word and a blessing – firsthand – all I can say to Romney is, “Don’t let us down, this chance won’t come again”.

      That really is a pretty honest analogy you posted.It sums up what I think a lot of Dr.Paul’s people on here are saying.
      You‘ve admitted that Romney will barely slow this mess down and we’ll all end up in the same place we would with Obama at the wheel,(the bottom of the cliff). Then you further admit that Ron Paul would reverse course,but in the process,there would be damage done to “the transmission”.

      Just one question,wouldn’t it be a hell of a lot easier to fix a transmission,than to continue over the cliff and completely destroy the car beyond repair?
      I don’t know about you,but I don’t want to ride with anyone who would deliberately drive a car off a cliff.It also sounds a bit crazy in your analogy,that Mitt is going to “buckle up”,like he’s enjoying the ride.The only thing missing in your story is the maniacal laughter from him as the car plunges over the side.

      I think the analogy is still apt. Obama revs it and goes over the cliff. Romney taps it but still goes over the cliff. Ron Paul puts it in reverse, guns it, and destroys the transmission. It still doesn’t stop the car, and we go over the cliff, only the transmission blows out and frags everyone in the passenger compartment before they crater on the ground below.

      Three courses, death regardless.

      I have kept myself out of the Paul / Romney debate deliberately, mainly because I have known for some time that we are well past the point where it does not matter. Ron Paul, Romney, Obama, all window dressing of different colors on a department store about to be struck by a wrecking ball. Changing the curtains does not change the inevitable fate of the building.

      America is effectively Rome writ 2 millennia later. We have not learned from the history of the planet, mainly because history is no longer properly taught. We are self-destructing, whether you want to ignore it or not. All that remains is the final swing of the reaper’s scythe.

      For those of you who are prepared, I say you are never prepared enough. For those of you like me, who have not had much opportunity to get prepared, keep working on it. If Mitt wins, he delays the inevitable wipeout hopefully long enough for you to solidify your positions. For those of you who think this will never happen, good freaking luck and say hello to Darwin for me when you arrive.

      ________________________________________________________________________________

      Chances are very high.

      The further Obama slips in the polls – the higher the chances get. The more dialogue that goes on to actually bring this nation back to its core, Consitutional principles – the higher the chances get. The closer “The People” get to putting the Government back into its rusty cage – the higher the chances get.

      Sadly, the closer fanatical zealots from all sides of this debate (partiularly at the top) get to realizing there is no “Utopia” – the higher chances get.

      Its not going to take much to push the equation from theoretical to reality. The only unknown variable left is whether we have a “Reichstag” or a “Sumter” moment to usher in martial law and full Constitutional suspension. I earnestly hope neither happen, but I’m putting my bets on the “Reichstag” option.

      Interesting how the GOP was able to solute Dr/Congressman Ron Paul as a leader ahead of his time who stands upon principle yet ….they blocked his delegates from voting on the floor, the media gave this honorable man 89 seconds in one so called debate. The GOP held a voice vote to change the rules of how delegates are assigned so that a similar event as Ron Paul’s success cannot take place again. Well to me this tribute smacks of a propaganda effort to control their linkage with Ron Paul.

      Yep a Hero alright who has sponsored 620 bills in 22 years, had 4 bills go to the floor and only 1 bill that was passed, not including 2012 since it is not over yet. Paul has 0.2% success rate and that makes him a Hero? The only thing he was successful at was getting his platform out, but beyond that, no so much. Being successful is doing more than just talking, it is getting the bills passed that you sponsored and getting other Congressmen and Women behind those bills to get them passed. Yes he got people to listen, but listening and talking does not get anything accomplished.

    This is a eulogy. His own party killed him, and now they’re all standing around saying what a great man he was. He has been marginalized, insulted, shut up and kept away from the voting process. Last election they did a better job of shutting him up – this time he got way too close to being nominated, and they had to fix that.

    Now that they have finally eliminated Ron Paul for good, they’re all nice and cozy with their “tribute.“ If they think that this will ”heal the rift” and bring the Paul camp into the Romney syndicate, they’re ******* in the wind. Time for a 3rd party to enter the fray, and for now, the Libertarian Party and Gary Johnson fit the bill. The Republicans just lost a huge voting bloc. I hope they’re happy.

      Gary Johnson 2012.

      This is the year to launch a real 3rd party option.
      A non socialist option that is.
      An option that is true to our constitution.
      A return to a LIMITED government
      A return to State Rights.
      An option of a free society with real free markets and not the corporatism we have gotten from both sides of the isle.

      I donated to Gary Johnson’s campaign, and will do what I can to persuade other small government patriots not to waste their vote on the Democrat Mitt.

      This is the opportunity to get the 15% we need so that the Libertarian Party will have a permanent presence. By doing so we will send a message to the GOP, that they have moved too far to the left, and we will not accept Romney Care type legislation.

      We are Americans that like to be free. Our founders sacrificed everything so that we could reap the blessings we have today. And now like cowardly sheep we are supposed to accept a light socialist, as our leader. That would be like accepting Charles Manson over Jeffrey Dahmer, being that Charles Mason was better in comparison….. By doing so you are condoning the lesser evil.

      Mitt Romney is a weak kneed weather vane that has admitted he is a republican in name only. Obama’s blatant communist ways have motivated patriotic Americans to wake up, like no one could. We got a historic election in 2010 and will have one this year as well. We don’t need Mitt to lull them back to sleep, with the false hope that he will

Have you ever met a person who is a Mormon? It is pretty obvious that you haven’t because if you did you just might have a better understanding of the Church. I have read the many comments you have posted bashing Romney’s Religion and everything you write is nothing but lies and false accusations. When you bash someones religion then all it does is opens the door for others to attack you on your ignorance. You have the right to not like a certain Religion but we expect you to also be tolerant of other peoples Religious choice. If your best friend chose to become a Mormon, would you stop being his friend because of their choice? Would you bash them for their choice, or would you choose to stay friends and be tolerant of their choice?
      I personally take offense to your rants, raves and false accusation of my Religion and will pray that someday you can learn to be more tolerant of a Religion you disagree with. Just remember, just because we may practice a Religion you may not personally like, does not make us bad people because I am sure that there are many Ron Paul Supporters who are Mormons.

One of the only exceptions was the Audit the Fed bill which he tried to bring up numerous times before as he has been talking about the fed and money manipulation for 20+ years or more. They only voted for it this time because they all knew the bill would go nowhere in the Senate. Plus the republicans needed to look tough for the upcoming election. Talk about a dog and pony show.

      I think Time_2_Lie just gave a glimpse of the real reason he has so much obsessive hatred for Ron Paul.
      When Paul talks about how the post WWII wars we were involved in were unconstitutional (which is true because only Congress has the power to declare war-and that didn’t happen in any case since WWII), and when Paul talks about how wars of aggression are contrary to the Christian Just War Doctrine (which is also true), and when Paul believes that we should follow the foreign policy of our Founding Fathers (who warned against entangling alliances), Time_2_Lie seems to take these as personal insults to him. As if Paul has said that Time_2_Lie is not really a constitutional conservative, and not such a good Christian. Relax Time_2_Lie, even though everything Paul said is true, I‘m sure he didn’t mean anything personal towards you. I think what you hate most about him is that he is right.

      COUSCOUS. I we listen to Ron Paul and if certain the wars were truly illegal, it would follow that our Veterans who prosecuted them must be criminals because American soldiers are duty bound under the military’s Uniform Code of Military Justice to refuse to carry out any illegal order. Moreover, not only would the aiding of the prosecution of an “illegal war” itself be illegal, it would be a clear violation of the solemn oath taken by every Military Service member. That oath requires them to uphold the Constitution and to follow lawful orders. Engaging in illegal wars would violate both precepts. So, Paul implies that every Veteran, because of their Service in certain wars, has violated the law… and broken their word of honor.

      The attempts by Ron Paul to build his political power base by criticizing the wars may be good politics if you’re isolationist pandering to the anti-war/anti-Military crowd. But doing so by erroneously calling certain wars illegal is an attempt to build that base at the expense of the honor of our troops. That is wrong. Our veterans are neither criminals nor dishonorable for having served…. having fought.

      Let me be clear COUSCOUS. Paul is not just making a claim that certain wars were ill advised. Time after time Paul has demanded an end to the “illegal” wars. He believes the wars are illegal because the Congressional authorization for them did not actually say “declaration of war.” His argument is historically and factually w

I’m not claiming to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I believe I have decent head on my shoulders, and I’ve never once thought Ron Paul said anything insulting about me. He’s only criticized the policy makers, and they’re certainly not combat veterans aside from halfway intelligent Bush.

      Time_2_Lie,

      You ran out of space in your last post but I think you were about to write that Pauls argument is historically and factually (wrong?). I disagree. The Constitution is explicit in that Congress has the power of declaring war. Like so many other clauses in the Constitution, politicians interpret these clear limits in whatever way they want to. Paul follows the Constitution to the letter. I find that a credit and not a fault. I also disagree that Paul or any other anti-war Christian places blame or any other negative connotation on the troops. It is the big-government politicans with their deceptive agenda and misleading propaganda that are fully in the wrong and fully in Pauls sight picture. Even though it drives you crazy, it is a fact that Paul has a huge following among active and retired military. Your diparaging of Pauls military service and of the service of the veterans who support him is the real disgrace. The fact that you consider yourself the greatest soldier since Audie Murphy and all of Pauls military supporters as s***bird deserters shows whose honor is really lacking.

      Time2, I forget the legal term, but Ron Paul would only be criticizing military folks serving in
      ‘illegal wars” if he actually believed that they actually knew that the wars were illegal. Which they don’t. They’re serving their country more admirably than any other group. He knows this, I know it and all the folks in the military that contributed to his campaign in record numbers knows it. Besides all he’s referring to is the policy makers not following the proper procedures in declaring war in the congress. I mean dislike him all you want, but you’re thin skinned if you think he was referring to you doing anything illegal by serving your country. He‘s the only politician that actually cares about us and it’s sad you don’t see it. And there‘s not one veteran on here that doesn’t think I care about our brothers even if they disagree with my support for the liberty movement. I don‘t want our brothers to go through some of the stuff I’ve been through if it’s not for a legitimate purpose. I don‘t want their families to suffer unless it’s to preserve our national security or preserve our freedom. I don’t want them to used by bankers, oil barrens, and military industrial complex to make them rich. I am not anti-military and wouldn’t have supported anyone I thought was. (like Romney and Obama)

But I personally think that fighting tooth and nail for 22 years to try to make those corrupt criminals keep their oath to uphold the Constitution and to stop them from wasting all of our tax money while they continually take more and more from us, (while he himself never once voted for a tax increase, or voted to raise Congressional salaries, or voted to raise the debt ceiling, or participated in the Congressional Pension Plan), was worthwhile (even though he was destined to fail in those efforts) because he shines as an example of dignity and integrity in the most adverse conditions.

      Excellent! Sometimes it depends upon the original format of the photo/picture.

      Well, we had rain on and off all day for about 50% of the day. It would rain and the protesters would try to hide and find cover. Then the Sun would come out and many got fed up and left. This happened over and over all day. Between all the Police and the weather, most protesters left and downtown Tampa was almost completely deserted of protesters. I did here that 3 Black Bloc people were arrested today (don’t know why yet} and one was arrested yesterday for not taking off his mask when asked by Police. (That’s illegal here as well as most places). Only 4 arrests that I’m aware of so far.

      I did hear that the NBPP is going to protest tomorrow. Boy will they be surprised. No other protesters and only the NBPP for the Police to concentrate on.

    The only place a Conservative isn’t conservative is in spreading around the pain with bankruptcy proceedings, and spending on war machines.

      Please tell me how the war in Iraq protected my butt?
      Also, how should we pay for all of these wars? printing more money? borrowing more from China? running up the national debt?

    The RNC’s tribute to Ron Paul means nothing.

      It means they’re trying to kiss our ass, but the folks in the video are the good ones except Mitch McConnell. Of course, that‘s about all of the R’s that are worth anything.

      Ron Paul is like an American version of an Islamic jihadi – it’s his way or the highway. If he doesn‘t get his way he’s going to take his ball and run home. He is solid on fiscal and constitutional matters but a clueless doofus on foreign affairs – like a modern Neville Chamberlain. His associates like Lew Rockwell and Tom Woods are borderline anarchists.

      This guy is best left where he is – in the real world, anything more and he will endanger us all.

      Ron Paul is a petulant, petty extreme libertarian for whom it’s his way or the highway. He’s a dangerous nut on foreign affairs. If he doesn‘t get his way he’s going to take his ball and run home. His son is a far more reasonable libertarian-conservative.

      So you folks think Paul should have compromised and voted for some of those unconstitutional bills?

      Think hard.

      When he raised his hand and swore “To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States” he wasn’t kidding. He was serious. And you don’t compromise on that. It IS all or nothing.

      I agree.

      What a man of character.

      Be good to see more of them. (Don’t bother going to the dnc in Charlotte, NC, which sold its soul to host the convention, if you are looking for people of character. People of Character will NOT be found at the dnc unless they are there in opposition!)

      I am not surprised that Glenn would allow it but I am surprised that his buddy Pat let it get on here. Pat is probably beating his head on the desk. The way he acts about Ron Paul has made me turn them off more than once. I myself would love to see a President Ron Paul but I have to live in reality. This country is not ready for the return to the constitution. There are now nearly as many living off the government(read the taxpayers) as there are actual taxpayers. We are more likely to go the way of Dear Leader Chairman Maobama and his merry band of ***** commies. Such a sad state of affairs.

      Why? Glenn often spoke highly of Ron Paul, he just didn’t agree with his views on foreign affairs.

      BTW – Glenn Beck doesn’t edit The Blaze. http://www.theblaze.com/about/

    Fact is…. Ron Paul didn’t want to be POTUS. His supporters wanted him to be POTUS. Ron Paul was just along for the narcissist ride. Right up until the end when he stated… “I don‘t know what they’re doing”…. meaning you all…

    Unfortunately you are wrong.. Glenn OWNS the blaze.. Ron didn’t own the newsletter, it was printed on his behalf.. There are website that have the RP name on them as well and Ron has nothing to do with them..
    BTW.. He was running for president and was on the ballot in all 50 states.. He was running and his supporters were not giving up.. He was being “libertarian” and letting them do what they wanted. That is how libertarian thinking works.. Whether he accepted the nomination (if he got it) is another..
    What I am satisfied with is the adoption of much of the RP platform into the GOP platform this year. The GOP tactics during the convention were deplorable.. I watched it on a private ustream feed from the floor.. Grass roots activism in the GOP is OVER!! unless the rules change.. Freedomworks is beside themselves.. I spoke with them on the phone yesterday.

    You are right. He didn’t want to have to do it, but he knows he’d be a better president than the last 20 or so have been.

    That’s humility.

    GAMER. You better do a WEE bit more research on Ron Paul and Associates and the “infamous” Ron Paul Newletters (Political Report/Survival Report).

    I could lay it out for you… but that would not help you learn a damn thing.

    In fact I have done the research and early on he was involved and others took over the rag.. The comments he wrote weren’t insulting in my eyes, some say racist.. I don’t.. For the most part it was the truth.. Most people here can’t handle the truth. Glenn has to digest it and regurgitate it so it speaks Neo-Christian-Conservative-Nazi so the blazers can understand it. The blaze is everything to do with oppression and totalitarian government and nothing to do with freedom.. They back the RNC and their totalitarian tactics.. I could go on for days..Glenn uses FEAR to scare you into the next new enemy of America so we can bomb them with public approval.. Total BS. He has been doing this for years.. I live in Tampa, his home base.
