Ron Paul: ‘I’m Pretty Mainstream’

Ron Paul: Im Pretty Mainstream

GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul said Sunday he's "pretty mainstream," despite opponent attacks on his positions. (AP)

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul hit back Sunday at claims that he’s “unelectable,” saying that he’s actually “pretty mainstream.”

Paul, who is in a statistical dead heat with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney ahead of Tuesday’s caucuses, has seen his opponents seek to brand him as a radical, particularly for his foreign policy positions.

He called the attacks on his positions “gross distortions,” particularly former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who said he demonstrates “a systemic avoidance of reality.”

“I’ve been pretty electable, I was elected 12 times once people got to know me,”  the Texas congressman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“The bigger question is: Why are the rallies going so well for me? Why are the crowds getting bigger and bigger?” Paul asked. “I would say that I’m pretty mainstream. I think people who are attacking me now are ones who can’t defend their records…they’re having a little trouble finding any flip flops on me, they have to go and dig up and distort the demagogue issues.”

Paul has attracted controversy in recent weeks for inflammatory statements in newsletters sent under his name in the 1980s and 1990s.

“If you look at the real issues that count, and I wish you would concentrate on that, that is the foreign policy, the spending, the monetary policy, personal liberties I talk abut all the time…this is where I get the support,” he said.

      It really is a shame that Ron Paul is such a complete idiot, when it comes to foreign policy and the danger that Iran and the rest of the Muslims pose to us, because his views on the Constitution, small government and total fiscal reform, really are what we need to save this country. He would get this country back on track, the budget in the black, and the government mostly out of our business……only to let the Muslims destroy us in the end….

      He isn‘t ’status quo‘ which is what the political class means by ’mainstream’, meaning ‘within the tight confines of what they consider to be unthreatening dissent’ where unthreatening means to the corporatist status quo. Ron Paul is mainstream to the people, and polls better against Obama head to head than anyone except, sometimes, Romney.

      That people aren‘t AWARE how well he polls against Obama is media’s fault, and the fault of those who don’t do their homework.

      Ron Paul is very mainstream for those who wish to listen to what he says, not how the media spins it. Paul never said he wants Iran to have a nuke. He simply said that given all their neighbors have nukes, its seems normal for them to pursue one. However, even though Paul wishes there were less nukes, Iran does not pose such an immanent threat that he is willing to send our young men and women to die. We ought o have a very high threshold for war. Unfortunately, the neo-cons as well as many if the posters on this site have a very low threshold for war and are all to eager to send someone else’s kids to die. Why does Paul receive more support from our Military than all the other candidates put together? Maybe Dr. Paul is only mainstream with those who have to fight the wars.

      Ron Paul has the MOST

      Most support of Independents.
      Most support of younger voters.
      Most support of recovering Democrats/Indys that have awakened to the fact that Ohmamma was just more of the same..

      Ron Paul has 10 times the military support of Romney. And more than the current “Prez.”

      You can’t touch that. Those are facts. Look ‘em up.

      You can’t win a general election with a sliver of religious fanatics that think Muslims are hiding under the bed, and that Sharia Law is going to somehow overtake the Constitution. Sorry, but you’re the fringe “nutty” electorate, not the mainstream. In fact, many people laugh at you for your “trembling chi hua hua” type hysterics that you parrot from the MSM.

      The Constitution is the common ground. Either we reboot/restore America, and go to the default set of instructions that were laid out in the beginning, or this place is going to burn to the ground, and be replaced with their “New World Order” that they so frequently refer to. It doesn’t matter if there is an establishment “R” or “D” in there. The results will be the same. If you can’t grasp that basic concept, then it’s time to study up.

As for me and others being afraid of Iran and the Muslims in general, you are correct. Do not take the Muslim threat for granted, because they have a mandate from their religion to convert or kill every single one of us. They are currently working with Communists and other radicals and are infiltrating this country at every single level, with the express purpose of doing what their inspirational pig Mohammed told them to do.

      RepubliCorp, you can fraction it down all you want, do it for every other candidate including the president…
      Paul still wins.
      Look at the NUMBER of contributions for Paul compared to the rest of the candidates.
      “The People” want Paul 10$ – 20$ at a time… Banks and Corps want Romney, Newt or Perry. The facts are in the contributions. When you can raise millions in just a few contributions, somethings not right. (Romney)… can you say “Vested Interest”? There are people sacrificing cable, netflix, etc, etc… to donate to Ron Paul. i highly doubt anyone is sacrificing to get ANY of the other candidates elected.

      If you want to be mainstream, and keep doing what we’ve been doing, devalue our dollar, corporatize everything, favortism everywhere, take orders from UN and NATO and not the American People, take from groups and give to others because “the elite (magically endowed people who have ALL of the knowlege of life) know best”, etc, etc, etc … If you TRULY believe that another mortal has rights and ownership of another mortal, by all means, don’t vote for Ron Paul…

      If you believe that people own themselves, and noone else can lay claim to someone elses life or property, then it is your duty for the Constitution and the Republic of America to vote for Ron Paul or Gary Johnson.

      Every poll shows Ron Paul is the only one who is going to beat Barack in a debate. Ron Paul is the only candidate who will not “leave issues off the table”. this is a fact.

      You are the classic example of the talking points that bird brains like Bachmann and Santorum and the rest are spouting.
      Ron Paul wants to use the military (with their overwhelming support) to protect THIS Nation and ITS territorial waters, not some litterbox in the Middle East. It’s called a PERIMETER DEFENSE. It’s the same thing China (our banker) does, and the same thing Russia, India, and other major Nations do.

      You’re falling for the SAME “We’re going to wake up to a mushroom cloud” BS propaganda that was spewed about Iraq before the invasion.
      Iraq had NOTHING but a bunch of clapped out 1960′s Russian technology, that just happened to make it through the 10 year “no fly zone” (aka, constant bombardment of anything that moved or engaged) and sanctions that had been imposed on them since the FIRST Gulf War.

      The DC establishment, both Republicans and Democrats want to pull the money strings, Ron Paul wants to abolish the fed and the various departments, thus handing over a lot of that money and power back to the People. The DC establishment can’t come out and oppose this, for one because it it goes against their own selfish reasons, and two because the People would never go along with them. So not being able to come out of the closet to oppose him for the reasons stated, they have to continue to shake this Nuclear Iranian Boogieman, its BS!

So other than the sheer enjoyment of watching Iran make the west squirm, what interests does China and Russia have invested in that pissant little dictatorship that would have them stick out their necks and risk a retaliatory nuclear strike from Israel?

      Want to know the dirtiest little secret? If you wish to defeat President Obama in the next election, the only person that would be capable of pulling enough votes away from the current president would be Ron Paul. You laugh and say how can that be?

      Ron Paul is a Libertarian. Libertarians believe in the freedom of the two currencies (time and money).

      Republicans believe in the freedom of money (lower taxes) but not time (drug-free policy, religious adherence, family structure by parental dictation).

      Democrats believe in the freedom of time (personal responsibility of drug use, freedom of thought and questioning of theocratic principles, and non-nuclear family structures such as homosexual marriages) but not money (higher taxes and socialist programs such as medicare and social security).

      There are plenty of social democrats who place social issues of freedom well above their wallet, and that alone would be enough to pull the needed 5-10% of voters away from the current president and to the Republican ticket. These voters on the left vote on social issues of freedom similar to how evangelicals vote for social issues on the right.

      There is a deep seeded hatred of the current president that current Republicans will vote for whoever is their nominee.

      Paul is the only person who can extrapolate enough votes from the democrats.

As I understand..Muslims have been invited to live among us since 1964..I believe there were already one million here and now there are three..After Obama’s election..Al Franken was sent to the middle east to invite 300-350 of them to government jobs here in the states..They are in key positions of government..CIA.FBI. EPA and Obama appointed ELENA KEGAN to the Supreme Court.She, I believe, was the head of the Harvard Law Review and has been a promoter of Sharia Law..There is only one Presidential Candidate offering the Constitution.which would save us not only a trillion a year..but save us from these foreign theocracies. When they collapse this government (Obama just put in for anther 1.4 trillion to keep the government from shutting down..then there will be utter kaos..There is no word that any of these candidates does not support indefinite detention..

      Be assured, the United States is capable of defeating Russia and China bilaterally if they came up against the US. Russia and China presently have their most opportunistic strategic position to exploit US in armed conflict under the Obama leadership, yet even under Obama’s incapability, Rus-Chi are well aware of our vast armament. The strength of our military is not in its personnel (though that is great) it is the machinery and arsenal that have yet to be introduced upon the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. Thankfully, our joint chiefs play poker with extroadinary aptitude. That window is closing quickly; this nation will never fall to invasion from the armies of our enemies. It will fall from self inflicted wounds from corruption that is within the sacred halls of our government, from local and state politicians cowering to political correctness with simultaneous palm massauges from special interest, gang-activity supported by drugs cartels, and the invitation extended to illegals by a pourus border and police inaction. This secret combination of anti-Americanism is what we should fear and enact to destroy. Still, America is so concerned with electing their guy man imposes will on others through yell-downs, beat-downs, labels and bigotry. We will reap what we sow.

      Federalist Papers #10

      “Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government [democracies, as opposed to republics], have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.”
      …
      “A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it [in a republic, as opposed to a democracy]; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.”

      TXPILOT So, if we vote in Ron Paul and go back to a truly Constitutional government that means that the Muslims win? What part of the 1st Amendment allows for Sharia Law to be implemented? How are they going to continue their take over if we stand by the laws the Constitution set up for the GOVERNMENT? Iran is no more a threat than N. Korea, in fact LESS as far as them TRYING to nuke us. I emphasized trying because we do have the capability to stop any incoming threats thanks to the ‘cold war.’ Now, with people in office the likes of Obama, or any of the other GOP candidates we have to choose from, they are setting policy that allows the government to override the Constitution in the name of ‘national defense’ and mainly aimed (in the media anyway) at Muslims. But funny, it’s not the Muslims they targeted in the NDAA that Obama signed yesterday. Just WHY would our government and press be scaring the daylights out of the people? Watch this video.. it’ll tell you why.. to line their pockets. This is not a conspiracy theory video..

      http://www.lewrockwell.com/block/block190.html

      “A Paul presidency in 1940 would have meant a war with Germany, but not Japan. However, a President Paul in 1917 would not have encouraged U.S. entry into that conflagration. If he was successful, there would have been no need for any declaration of war against Germany, as there would have been no Adolph Hitler and his Nazis in charge. He would have been, instead, an unknown house painter. With a President Paul at the helm, there would have been no holocaust; no 50 million people perishing during this war; no dropping of atomic bombs on innocent civilians, women and children, to our eternal shame.”

The way in which the Establishment is attacking him just brings back to many memories of how they went after Palin and remember when Glenn said if the Media is for a person you should be very cautious and if the Media was totally against someone then you should probably be on their side.

      We must face the number one issue facing America now and that is the fact that we are borderline bankrupt. It appears that only Dr. Paul is serious about tackling the debt issue and will demand a full audit of the Federal Reserve.

Same thing we did with Russia… promise mutual destruction if their enemies don’t back down and go home to their families. We do the same thing to Iran, they try to detonate just one nuke on our soil and we erase their country. But no, the American government and ultimately, its citizens have been dumbed down in this sick form of political correctness that has taught us to forgive even the most heinous of crimes. Ron Paul really is the only solution for this election… otherwise in 2016, if we are still a country, we will be arguing over the same junk again, but our debt will be $32 Trillion and our liabilities will be over $200 Trillion.

When the leader of a country publicly implores the return of the 12th Imam (the “Mahdi”), then you are not dealing with a rational government.

      Paul’s reply came in a note they thought was a joke. “He told them space travel isn’t in the Constitution,”

      I read earlier in a ‘meet the press ” article Paul has given indication he may have interest as a third party candidate. Is this accurate? Can someone who blogs on the BLAZE post an link with Mr Paul either supporting this statement or defusing the rumor?

      If any of these conservative candidates enduce a third party campaign, Barak Hussien Obama will retain the Presidency at the end of this year. If the conservative ticket splits Hussien will probably receive 40+ % of the vote. If the conservatives pool, this will show unity and Barak will only receive in the 30 percentile. Nevertheless, if Paul is considering a thrid party it is proof positive of his love for the country is less that what we had hoped and what he seeks to pontificate.

      You act like if we remove federal authority over drugs, prostitution and gay marriage, that there will be anarchy in the streets the next day. As a stateman, I believe it should be up to the states to determine these things. If your in a state like California, who would allow gays to marry, smoke pot and have an abortion, then you know what you can do? Fight to change it or move to a state… like Utah for example, who will probably keep weed illegal, gays from marrying and not allowing abortion in their state. How simple is that? We will never agree as a country what is best of everyone. People from California will have a different point of view in life then someone who grew up and lives in Tennessee. Why should either be able to dictate to the other how to live their lives?

      I’m all about laws. I’m a minority myself. I believe that as a republic, we have laws meant to protect the minorities from the majority by having neutral laws. The Federal Government is here to merely protect and insuring our individual rights, which include national defense. Other then that, the federal government has no other say in the day to day life of the average American.

      Imagine living in a country where it really doesn’t matter who is President or who liberal states in California or New York elect as their representatives in Congress. Why you ask? Because the laws your care about, that handle your day to day life, is taken care of by your individual state. I love my low taxes and my guns, so I’ll stay right here in Tennessee. While I am for homosexuals rights to marry, being that I’m not a homosexual, it’s not a major concern for me here in Tennessee. If you were wanting to be married, you can move to a state that allows gay marriage. If you want to pay more taxes to help the poor, feel free to move to a state that has higher social welfare programs. It’s called choice and that how our country is suppose to be. I can easily change and influence my state government but when it comes to national government, I can’t do anything about other states and their elected officials.

      You can‘t even SPELL Michele Bachmann’s name correctly, and you are REALLY going to tell us how “Constitutional” she is?
      For the sake of your children (if you have any) PLEASE do some ACTUAL research instead of making a fool of yourself.
      That is the problem with some people here. They sat in front of the TV in front of Glenn Beck’s little chalk board, and they think they are educated about the ways of the world when it is simply NOT TRUE.
      You’ve only been given about 50% of the truth. It’s not just about “spooky dude” Soros. He is merely a cog in the machinery. It’s not ALL about “progressives.”
      Learn about Waco, OKC, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, AIPAC, PNAC, CFR, Tri Lateral, Bilderberg, Skull and Bones, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Kissinger, Brzezinski, Wolfowitz, Pearl, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and about 50 other people and organizations, and you will have a broader perspective of what is happening.

      I don’t claim to know everything.
      In fact, the more I learn, the more I realize how LITTLE I KNEW.

      All I‘m asking is that you don’t let OTHER people do your thinking for you. Don’t be lazy. There is way too much at stake.

      Bachmann is a liar, and a fraud. She lied about being at a family reunion in Iowa, and she lied about Ron Paul paying her campaign staffer to join his campaign. No telling what else she’s lied about.

      The fact that you’ve misspelled her name only shows you have not vetted her properly.

      Mindless GOP-cons insist that we must give everyone a pass and that the clear and present danger of Obama justifies a knee jerk, install-a-GOP jerk – it’s the politically expedient thing

      Haven’t we done enough “expedient” things already? Isn’t that how we got George Bush, the warmonger, the big government spendacrat, the friend of Billy Boy Clinton? We were DUPED. I was DUPED.

      Many this time around STILL ARE DUPES.

      Study the Constitution people. Romneycare? Really? Does this man understand the Constitutional principles of individual responsibility? He single handedly brought gay marriage to Massachussetts by telling state clerks to issue licenses, with no government or court mandate to do so. That man is a moron.

      Vote for him, and you get a slow slide to tyranny, rather than a quick one. But its STILL tyranny.

      yes, Ron Paul is OF COURSE the only one who understands the Constitution, because it’s plain from the scribbling on this site, that the MAINSTREAM GOP doesn’t have a clue. How else could they justify their fanatic fearmongering of a fair and judicious foreign policy? How else can they justify our interventionism in foreign countries, using our federal government to do things that our founders never envisioned and argued against?

      It’s time to rein in the centralized concentration of power in a single entity, return power to the states, and get the FEDS off our backs, like the Constitution mandates.

      Ron Paul’s War:

      Dr. Paul supports using “letters of marque and reprisal.”

      These are, in effect, licenses to private parties to carry out acts of war. We used them against the Barbary pirates. Almost immediately after the attack on the World Trade Center, Dr. Paul introduced in the 107th Congress H.R. 2076, called the September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, authorizing holders of the letters to go after bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders and seize them and their property. He also voted to give President Bush authority to use the military to go after Al Qaeda, but he has been pressing for letters of marque ever since.

      Dr. Paul’s bill would have covered not only past attacks but any “planned future air piratical aggressions and depredations” against us. It would have given the president discretion to pay up to $40 billion in what were, in effect, bounties for the “capture, alive or dead, of Osama bin Laden or any other al Qaeda conspirator responsible for the act of air piracy upon the United States on September 11, 2001.”

      Dr. Paul said that one thing he wanted as to avoid a trillion dollar expedition when there was a simpler, constitutional approach of bringing the war to our enemy.

      If Ron Paul really was a Constitutionalist, he would attract the Conservative vote, because it is Conservatives who have spent a lifetime trying to protect and preserve our nation’s founding principles and values.

      But Conservatives are not easily fooled by Constitutional rhetoric, whether coming from the lips of Teddy Kennedy or Ron Paul. Even Obama claims to be a Constitutional scholar an no one has been as successful as Obama in undermining the Constitution eh?

      Paul is actually a thrifty liberal populist candidate, rather than a Jeffersonian Libertarian.

      Right. “Republicans are conservative and they wouyld support Ron Paul if he was a true conservative”.

      What in the world do you think a real conservative is? During the Bush administration with a Republican dominance in both Houses they increased spending on social programs exponentially over the Clinton administration. They doubled the size of the Dept of Education. Tripled the size of the Prescription Drug Program. Quadrupled the federal tax credit for renewable resource technologies. They got us into a war against a country that NEVER attacked us or threatened us without a declaration of war as per Article I section 9 clause 11 of the Constitution all to enforce stinking UN resolutions.They passed the Patriot Act which is an afront to our Bill of rights on at least 6 points off the top of my head, the Military Commissions Act and CAFTA which I WATCHED them push through at the last hour with bribes and stealth by breaking the House rules. Our national debt went from the %5.5 Trillion wich the Bush administration inherited from Clinton to $10.5 Trillion in just 8 yrs. You say they are conservatives but had they only raised taxes Bush might have gone down as one of the best Democrats in our history.
      Conservatives PROTECT the Constitution NOT violate it by illegal wiretaps, Echelon and Carniviore programs or the Patriot Act.

      Conservatives would NOT go to war without a declaration of war.

      Actually, Ron Paul is what conservatism used to be, before the neo-conservatives saw an opportunity to infiltrate and take over the conservative movement and did it. Do you not realize that yet? It was Irving Kristol who coined the term. Bill Kristol’s father. The neo-conservatives are largely former Trotskyites who came from the Democratic Party. Don’t believe me, read it for yourself: (http://www.amazon.com/Neo-conservatism-Autobiography-Idea-Irvin-Kristol/dp/1566632285). Yes, what I am saying is that traditional conservatives were bamboozled and have been following a bunch of Strauss-loving ex-Trotskyites and that includes their foreign policy. It was the liberal Progressive, Woodrow Wilson who wanted to “make the world safe for democracy”. Traditional conservatives have slowly been propagandized into forgetting their principles with the help of FOX news trumpeting neo-conservatism. Glenn Beck was an exception and so is Judge Napolitano.

      Spon on Hall. The VAST majority of Americans want to stop these endless progressive wars that have little or nothing to do with our own national security. That mindset actually predates apple pie and baseball. It goes back to our very beginnings.
      George Washington said:
      I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation had a right to inter-meddle in the internal concerns of another; and that, if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace. George Washington – Letter to James Monroe, August 25, 1796
      But the new style conservatives (neocons) who are really progressives mirror Woodrow Wilson “We need to use our military to make the world safe for democracy”.

      Ron Paul sounds more like George Washington and Santorum, Bachmann, Gingrich, Romney, Cain, and Huntsman and Perry ALL sound more like Wilson

      Who does this sound like? The establishment progressive/agressives or Ron Paul?

      Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. …The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. George Washington – Farewell Address, September 17, 1797

      MAULEMALL, yes he quit the Party for a couple of years. Did you actually take the time to read the letter and find out why? As much as I loved Reagan, he went against many of the things he ran on. He grew the size and scope of government by quite a bit while he was in office. I’m sure part of that was because of Congress. But, you know, he told conservatives when he started running that he would not choose an establishment Insider for his VP and look what happened. Bush, was the quintessential establishment Insider.

      Paul was only a handful of Republicans who broke ranks and supported Reagan in ‘76. He also headed the Texas Reagan delegation at the national Republican convention. So, you see, he was a strong advocate of Reagan’s. Unfortunately, Reagan didn’t walk his talk. That is why Paul left. And it is why a lot of traditional conservatives left the Party. Many even stopped voting, believing that the 2 major Parties had both become parties of big government. But, they are coming back now for one reason; to vote for Ron Paul.

      The good news is that slowly, but surely, traditional conservatives are joining the campaign. In addition, Paul is gaining supporters from across the political spectrum. Something that I have not seen the likes of since Reagan first ran for President. I didn’t understand it for the longest time, since Paul does not have a big government bone in his body, but he explained it well when he said – Freedom brings us together.

      “Originally a member of the Democratic Party, his positions began shifting rightward in the late 1950s, and he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater’s presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970.”

      Would you rather he sell out and support bailouts and other infringements on the Constitution? Because that is when he votes NO. His legislation? Yes, it has always been for the purpose of reinstating the Constitution. The fact that it didn’t get support should speak volumes to you about how and why our government has almost bankrupted our country and has given away so much of our national sovereignty.

      But, you do realize I would hope, that it is Ron Paul who has been working to expose the Federal Reserve practically since he first went to Congress. Because of that, many, many Americans have/are becoming aware of this organization and how they are the cause of inflation, amongst other things. Because of this one man, a recent partial audit of the Federal Reserve showed that they gave away 16 TRILLION dollars to their banking buddies and Euro-American companies in 2008 alone. They did this all without Congressional approval.

      It is because I have watched his votes over the many years, that I know he is the true conservative in the race. He is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. We will not get this chance again. Choose wisely.

That is NOT a conspiracy “theory”. Go READ Robert Mullers opening address to the United Nations in 1945. He was the first sectrtary general of the UN. I read it and he makes no bones about it. In fact he was very proud of the fact that the UN was set up to some day become a one world government.

      Oh by the way. Ron Paul is the ONLY ONE who has since autored a Bill to GET US OUT of the United Nations.
