who mentioned college?
the act of producing and delivering basic needs is something peopel charge for according to their expectations
No that's just restating it.
>>""He could shove to make them more popular...but being a leader of a group is not the Ron Paul brand..."
That Republicrats like you want more government and more promises financed on the backs our children is not an argument against Rep. Paul. Try harder. That half of this country supports socialists is not an argument against Rep. Paul. Try harder.<<
Maybe Ron Paul could try harder to find an alternative to the Republican Party -- but as I have said, he does not want to lead a coalition of like-minded people in Congress towards enacting laws. He wants to spend his life being the little underdog repeatedly defeated by the System. It pays so much better than obstetrics.
>>"You don't want Ron Paul building cooperation with the warmongers and bedroom police."
So what? They're not willing to cooperate, so whether he should or should not give in to unconstitutional practices is a moot point.<<
So you'd rather root for a deliberate failure.
>>You're being a dipshit. I've explained that $1 trillion is more than $17 million, but this is over your head.<<
$1 trillion of hypothetical cuts that WILL NOT HAPPEN and you have said as much yourself, the idea that Ron Paul is going to influence the budget is "silly", the value of a failed proposal is: $0.
Ron Paul has cost America $17 million in real money. That's actual dollars, not talk.
>>I've explained repeatedly how Paul is far, far, far more fiscally conservative than Tancredo. It's beyond debate. It's a fact.<<
It's bullshit. He proposes cuts that won't happen and doesn't make effort to bring them about. Ron Paul is about TALKING about cuts, not enacting cuts.
>>If you want to pretend to be too stupid to understand basic math, that's on you. But literally anybody reading this thread already knows why Tancredo is not more fiscally conservative than Paul and you're just embarrassing yourself.<<
$0 of bullshit, accumulating interest over 30 years, = $0.
$17 million of pork paid out cost us $17 million plus interest.
>>"I then personally called for $3.5 trillion in annual cuts, demonstrating that I, not Ron Paul, am most serious about deficit reduction. Do the math: I've called for more than 3x the cuts as Ron Paul. The fact that neither I nor Ron Paul am seriously working towards that goal, you have said, is irrelevant to the luster we earn by calling for it."
And I was kind enough to grace this juvenile nonsense with a response and I even went so far as to name the fallacy which you were spamming me with.<<
And you got it totally wrong, accusing me of trying to label Paul as an "anarchist". I'm just making my own impracticable, worthless offer of cuts that won't happen. And because I used bigger numbers in my phony scheme than other people, by your same logic you use to praise Ron Paul, -I- am more conservative than Ron Paul. That's the reasoning you used to dismiss Tom Tancredo: he didn't offer a doomed scheme as grandiose as Ron Paul.
this is like when Loki ordered the Hulk to show some damn respect
there is every reason to think the rising cost of having kids has more to do with the lower levels of society demanding more money for the same job their great-grandparents did, in order to obtain a better lifestyle, than to blame a cabal of the 1%
"My whole point is that Ron Paul the man could do a lot more than lose on his own every year for 30 years...."
How? By not holding unpopular positions like defending the constitution and wanting to cut popular social programs which are bankrupting the nation?"
Is it writ in stone that they be unpopular? Are we doomed?
He could shove to make them more popular...but being a leader of a group is not the Ron Paul brand...you've given hints of that VKemp, in praising him for being uniquely better than ALL others.
You don't want Ron Paul building cooperation with the warmongers and bedroom police.
"You're just vaguely accusing me of overgeneralizing when I haven't even accused any individual. Cute."
You didn't accuse any individual, you accused EVERY individual. That is what you did when you said 100% of Republicans were worse than Ron Paul.
"You're assuming that, because real cuts (his) are good, then cutting everything must be better; Reductio ad absurdum fallacy. In general you assume his solutions are too extreme and therefore scary and bad; golden mean fallacy."
NO
You said I couldn't find one example of a guy more conservative than Ron Paul.
I found one, Tom Tancredo who personally asked for $475,000 for his district compared to Ron Paul's $17 million.
You then said that as Ron Paul calls for $1 trillion in hypothetical cuts he is permitted to have $17 million in actual pork.
I then personally called for $3.5 trillion in annual cuts, demonstrating that I, not Ron Paul, am most serious about deficit reduction. Do the math: I've called for more than 3x the cuts as Ron Paul. The fact that neither I nor Ron Paul am seriously working towards that goal, you have said, is irrelevant to the luster we earn by calling for it.
>>He's very alone in his view that we should follow the law and Constitution. He's very alone in his desire to cut the budget. All he can do is make his case and hope that more people will stop being retarded. Yes, it's a good thing he's not shutting up in order to get more bribes like most Republicans and Democrats. Yes, it's a good thing that he's still vocal and making his case that 16 trillion dollars in debt is bad. By being overly vague you're pretending it's a bad thing that he's keeping up the good fight, despite the fact that lots of schmucks like you love Republicrats and don't give a damn what you're doing to our country with this debt.<<
My whole point is that Ron Paul the man could do a lot more than lose on his own every year for 30 years (after feathering his nest) but that is the whole point of the Ron Paul brand, that is his gimmick.
>>I didn't criticize people making small, but positive, changes. Try to name a few. It won't be easy.<<
Yes you did, you refer to them collectively as thieves and in no way as good as Ron Paul.
>>He can do something: Make his case. Cry about it all you want, he supports balanced budgets and Republicrats support theft, debt, and war for profit/NWO compliance.<<
See right there.
>>And then you go on to childishly propose that Ron Paul is an anarchist and attack that straw-man. You really believe we need the Fed and all of our unconstitutional massive social programs? You're a sheep.<<
NOPE. -I- was being an anarchist, because you said Ron Paul gets the trophy for (pointlessly) demanding the biggest cuts. I came up with more cuts than Ron Paul (uselessly). That makes me uber.
Dudes on the Internet Will Try to Bang You Even if You Act Completely Batshit
If you're a lady, dating online is nothing like an eharmony commercial, where a polite queue of nice men in navy sweaters and bouquets of daisies send you well-punctuated messages asking about your favorite place to go hiking. The reality of online dating, for women at least, is more like sauntering down the sidewalk in a construction zone in the summer while wearing ass cheek revealing cutoffs and a sopping wet white tank top. And any sparse thoughtful messages sent by Nice Guys are drowned out by the loud, constant virtual wolf whistles of the Online Dating Guy Who Doesn't Seem To Care About Anything But Having Sex. They're completely undaunted by rejection, completely unfazed by glaring incompatibility. They just want someone to touch their penis. So just how repulsive can a woman make herself seem online before men call off their dogs? One intrepid blogger made a fake, totally gross online persona to find out. What she found will delight you, but it probably won't surprise you.
Meet "Marla." "Marla" is the OKCupid alterego of Alyssa Kramer, a Philadelphia-area blogger (and very funny lady) who dared venture to answer the question "Just how ZOWing batty does a gal have to get before guys on the internet stop trying to ENGAGE her?"
Kramer says she set some ground rules

"The garrison being asleep, except the sentries, we gave three huzzas, which greatly surprised them. One of the sentries made a pass at one of my officers with a charged bayonet, and slightly wounded him. My first thought was to kill him with my sword; but, in an instant, I altered the design and fury of the blow to a slight cut on the side of the head, upon which he dropped his gun, and asked quarter, which I readily granted him, and demanded of him the place where the commanding officer kept; he showed me a pair of stairs in the front of a barrack, on the west part of the garrison, which led up to a second story in said barrack, to which I immediately repaired, and ordered the commander, Captain de la Place, to come forth instantly, or I would sacrifice the whole garrison; at which the Captain came immediately to the door, with his breeches in his hand, when I ordered him to deliver me the fort instantly; he asked me by what authority I demanded it: I answered him, 'In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.'

F U RON PAUL I R TEH CONSERVAZOR
even though nobody else follows me
"The notion that he could muster the votes is laughable. Your argument is laughable. All he can do is make his case publicly and argue it, which he does. To claim he doesn't want what he openly has called for for decades because he can't get it passed is just stupid. He's doing what he can. "
I can't blame him because he can't change anything
I should praise him for talking about changing everything
Even though he can't change anything
Talking about changing everything makes him better
Some people change some things
They suck compared to a guy who talks about changing everything
Even though he can do nothing
He's at the controls, free to pursue a life of religious fulfillment

awesome dude America should guarantee the Eurobonds then sell a piece of that guarantee to other banks
we get that money up front
when the Eurobonds are rejected by Europe we're off the hook
Bacchus I recommend you learn to make guncotton and guanadine so you can handload forever.
I rejected the GOP because they are on the same con as Ron Paul, whining about the same shit for 30 years and never fixing it. Apart from Russian Communism what problems do we have in 2012 that they weren't complaining about in 1976? Just don't tell me Ron Paul is better.
"You're speaking about 17 million in spending as if it's a problem when Paul supports MASSIVE cuts in spending."
Yeah, in a way that is sure to fail and he doesn't care that it fails, he keeps doing it that way because he can call himself a hero. Grover Norquist has done more to make effective change than Ron Paul, because Norquist caresa bout actual reform more than Ron Paul.
"when it's the Amerikan people like you responsible for filling Congress with corrupt Republicrats who agree on spending and support unconstitutional spending programs--the real source of the deficit and debt."
And Ron Paul's solution is to campaign within the Republikan party and endorse its nominee. YEAH THAT WILL SHOW YOU YOU BASTARDS
>>It's certainly legitimate to disagree with Paul, but to claim he's a big spender is just ignorant, stupid, and laughable. That has to be the result of willful ignorance because of some psychological reasons for hating the man, because he's very clearly the most fiscally conservative guy in the room. I'm not suggesting anyone has to like him, but to pretend he's a big spender who's adding to our debt is retarded.<<
Ron Paul is a con man. Ron Paul's con is to hate big spending very much, publicly, in a way that gets Ron Paul a national audience and a campaign budget -- yet utterly totally fail to reduce spending, year after year. Ron Paul hates the war too; even if he did get suckered into voting for it.
Ron Paul is most like a guy named Wally George 30 years ago. Wally George was a righteous God-Fearing man who hated smut and lewd conduct very much. He was a fighter too, and he fought by having strippers on his show. And he would yell at them to stop stripping. And damn if these lewd women didn't strip on his show! The idea!
From your source
"I called the DC office - whomever I spoke to was understandably hesitant to go into detail (as he did not know me other than that I directed him to this forum article). I just told him I was working on a forum discussion on this topic for this site, and he was polite and tried to be as helpful as he felt he could.
He mentioned that this is really a moot point as earmarks haven't been used since 2010....The person I spoke to also maintained that the earmarks do not increase spending. Dr. Paul has stated this same thing. "
Yeah there hasn't been a formal budget passed since the Dems lost the House. ALL spending is by special bill.
The idea that "spending doesn't increase" is baloney. Every so often the House approves the Debt Ceiling, a limit on federal debt. The President has to get Congress to authorize a raise in the Debt Ceiling to borrow money and increase the debt.
But that is just Out There-- total Debt. It isn't a spending authorization. What Ron Paul seeks are spending authorizations. In theory President A. Square from Flatland can avoid borrowing and never hit that Debt Ceiling. (In practice, we got Barack Obama)
Prosaically speaking, the Debt Ceiling is our Credit Card max, and Ron Paul is buying shoes and saying "Our credit card goes up to $3000, if I didn't get these shoes it would go somewhere else, and they're ubercute!" Put the shoes down, Mr. Champion of Prudent Spending.
