		<description>Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate running who really has the American people's interest at heart.  He's not for big corporations and special interest.  He never has taken a dime from these groups.  The rest of the candidates have been bought and sold many times over... and YOU still believe their propaganda about "change".

The fact that the only "dirt" that anyone can even find on Ron Paul comes from some newsletters written back IN THE 1970's ought to tell you something.  For one thing, he didn't write the words, and doesn't support the ideas.  

Ron Paul has delivered over 4000 babies as an ob-gyn.  He has never accepted Medicare or Medicaid in his medical practice because he doesn't believe in taxing citizens to pay for other's health care.  The people he would not accept medicare from... HE TREATED FOR FREE.  I bet Billary never did anything for anyone for free.  I would venture to say that more than a few of those free baby deliveries were black babies.  He also wants to end the "War on Drugs", and he has stated many times that the "War" is very racially biased and the result is a disproportionate number of blacks in jail as opposed to whites.

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
($75,000 this year alone.  Who else does this?)

I can bring up so much dirt on the other 3 major candidates its not even funny.  They have stolen, lied, cheated, bullshitted so many people it boggles the mind.  If you want, I can send you the links... but it'll take me awhile... I've got hundreds of them.

You people amaze me.  If you're going to dig up some dirt, at least make sure it's real dirt.

If you're going to slander someone, make sure it's not someone with a heart of gold.  Ron Paul has more integrity that all the other candidates put together.  And he receives more monetary support from active duty military than all the other candidates put together.  Another thing that should tell you something.

Get a life and vote for the "kook".  Otherwise... nothing will change.  Watch.  Vote democrat if you want to.  We'll still be in Iraq in 4 years... anyone want to wager?</description>

This is an article written by Ron Paul and what he really has to say about Isolationism.  The fact is, he's been publicly quoted saying that he supports free trade and travel, so how does that make him an isolationist?  People love their labels and they love to neatly file and tuck everything away with it's proper label...the reason this man has caused such an frenzy is because you can't label him.  He has supporters from all parties and his views and consistent voting record do not fit into a nice little category, which in turn, confuses the simple minded masses and they get upset and start calling him a looney libertarian and an isolationist.  It's just a reaction to the apparent threat that he has posed.  What you people don't understand is that he's fighting for YOU and YOUR RIGHTS while the media, giant corporations, and corrupt politicians continue to hack him to pieces.  Why do they do this?  The wealthiest 1% of our nation is doing just fine with the way things are and they certainly don't want Dr. Paul over here upsetting that order.  Think about it.

		<description>Hunh, amazing how quickly the roaches come running.  The fact is, he is ultimtely responsible for what is published with his name on it, whether by editor or in person.

This all may be erroneous, but his isolationist ideals and his subscription to the so called 'truthers', makes him a dangerous person (to everyone).

		<description>Err, this was in reply to something else, I misposted it here.  I guess it still applies to the comments being made on this post though.  Many of the comments here raise very good counter-points and make it clear how grasping and weak the racist charges are.  -Especially- the ones that point out his quote on racism being an ugly form of collectivism.

		<description>It's good to see more information efforts to derail these false accusations of racism.  I hope that what he notes about racism being an ugly form of collectivism catches on.  I think our society would be greatly improved if more people understood that.

		<description>I have been researching more about Ron Paul in connection with these accusations of racism.  His language generally convinces me that Ron Paul is absolutely NOT a racist.

On the other hand, he has associations with groups and personalities that have traditionally been labeled as such.  It may be that he feels that some of their ideals and principles (having nothing to do with racism per se) are worthy and does not want to apologize for supporting those.

		<description>I take it you are unaware of the fact that Ron Paul offered to pay for a medal for Rosa Parks OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET?  Or that he has mentioned the possibility of selecting Walter Williams as his running mate?

Yeah, what a racist.

		<description>Mitt ROmney:
Governor Mitt Romney yesterday apologized for using the expression ``tar baby" ... ``He was very clear that he knew nothing about the history or the racist ...

Giuliani:
New YorkÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s ex-mayor Giuliani leaves a legacy of corruption and racism
&lt;a href="http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/may2002/giul-m24.shtml" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/may2002/giul-m24.shtml&lt;/a&gt;

Should I go on? That was very simple I just typed in each candidate and the word Racist. But Im smart enough see not to go by one source about a person's personality. Especially during a fucking campaign for the presidency.

So why the hate for Ron Paul?  Do you think its COOL? Like hating Keanu Reeves back when it was fashionable to do so?

		<description>his stance on race is the typical libertarian one and those puerile attempts to smear him aren't going to reduce his popularity because he's actually the only real conservative running for the Republican ticket and perhaps the only one that can beat Hilary/Obama. You'll need a magnifying glass to see a difference between a Giuliani or a McCain presidency and a Hilary Clinton presidency. And it's funny some people here use the race card to try to discredit Ron Paul, I thought you were supposed to be politically incorrect rightwingers or something.


RP is against birthright citizenship so under his presidency all those babies that the mexicans are pooping at such a fast pace aren't going to be declared americans simply because their parents crossed that line in the sand

&lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=EF37-9OGblw" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=EF37-9OGblw&lt;/a&gt;


and besides him and Tancredo who else among the Republican candidates are against the illegals ? McCain panders to La Raza and so does Giuliani and Huckabee. Huckabee once joked about the demise of white americans before a mexican audience:

&lt;a href="http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_geoffs_810th_post/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_geoffs_810th_post/&lt;/a&gt;

quote:
&lt;b&gt;Ã¢â‚¬ÂPretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,Ã¢â‚¬Â Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.&lt;/b&gt;


and he condemned the raid on a chicken plant resulting in the arrest of a hundred illegals:

&lt;a href="http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_49303121/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_49303121/&lt;/a&gt;


This guy is a real rightwing conservative patriot, right ? Seriously, what is Huckabee doing in the Republican Party, shouldn't he be running for the Democratic Party nomination ? And how come the planners of the debate on Fox News decided not to quote him and not to ask him what's his position on immigration ?

Can anybody tell me the difference between a Republican giving a speech before The National Council of La Raza and a Democrat giving a speech before The National Council of La Raza ? Is one less of a traitor than the other because he's in the GOP ?


BTW a majority of americans are against the war in Iraq and are against amnesty for illegals and open borders and guess which candidate is against both of those follies. Clinging on to this aggressive foreign policy that is based on lies is not only going to hurt the Republican Party but it will hurt the nation for years and years.

(how much money do you think a pro Iraq war organization could gather with voluntary donations ?)


here's Ron Paul's opinion about race (I do disagree with him on this issue though, the West won't be the West anymore if whites die. Race matters):

Government and Racism

&lt;a href="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst041607.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst041607.htm&lt;/a&gt;

quote:

Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>his stance on race is the typical libertarian one and those puerile attempts to smear him aren&#8217;t going to reduce his popularity because he&#8217;s actually the only real conservative running for the Republican ticket and perhaps the only one that can beat Hilary/Obama. You&#8217;ll need a magnifying glass to see a difference between a Giuliani or a McCain presidency and a Hilary Clinton presidency. And it&#8217;s funny some people here use the race card to try to discredit Ron Paul, I thought you were supposed to be politically incorrect rightwingers or something.</p>
<p>RP is against birthright citizenship so under his presidency all those babies that the mexicans are pooping at such a fast pace aren&#8217;t going to be declared americans simply because their parents crossed that line in the sand</p>
<p><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=EF37-9OGblw" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/watch?v=EF37-9OGblw</a></p>
<p>and besides him and Tancredo who else among the Republican candidates are against the illegals ? McCain panders to La Raza and so does Giuliani and Huckabee. Huckabee once joked about the demise of white americans before a mexican audience:</p>

<p>quote:<br />
<b>Ã¢â‚¬ÂPretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,Ã¢â‚¬Â Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.</b></p>
<p>and he condemned the raid on a chicken plant resulting in the arrest of a hundred illegals:</p>
<p><a href="http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_49303121/" rel="nofollow">http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/http_majorityrightscom_indexphp_49303121/</a></p>
<p>This guy is a real rightwing conservative patriot, right ? Seriously, what is Huckabee doing in the Republican Party, shouldn&#8217;t he be running for the Democratic Party nomination ? And how come the planners of the debate on Fox News decided not to quote him and not to ask him what&#8217;s his position on immigration ?</p>
<p>Can anybody tell me the difference between a Republican giving a speech before The National Council of La Raza and a Democrat giving a speech before The National Council of La Raza ? Is one less of a traitor than the other because he&#8217;s in the GOP ?</p>
<p>BTW a majority of americans are against the war in Iraq and are against amnesty for illegals and open borders and guess which candidate is against both of those follies. Clinging on to this aggressive foreign policy that is based on lies is not only going to hurt the Republican Party but it will hurt the nation for years and years.</p>

Ron Paul Race Smear Erased?
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

Internet information claiming that presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) is a racist Ã¢â‚¬" and made derogatory comments about African Americans - has been making the rounds within the blogosphere. But sources close to the editorial group that published the newsletter (or newsletters) that supposedly carried the comments claim that Ron Paul never had anything to do with them, and wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even aware of them.

These sources say that editorial operation in question was a fairly large one, and profitable for its time - focused in large part on measures that one could take to generate a lifestyle independent of government influence and intervention.

The publication, or publications, comprised a business venture to which Ron Paul lent his name. Headquarters were Ã¢â‚¬Å“60 miles awayÃ¢â‚¬Â from Ron PaulÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s personal Texas offices. At the time that the publications were being disseminated, primarily in the 1980s, Ron Paul was involved in numerous activities including Libertarian politics. He eventually ran for U.S. president as a Libertarian.

Ã¢â‚¬Å“This was a big operation,Ã¢â‚¬Â says one source. Ã¢â‚¬Å“And Ron Paul was a busy man. He was doctor, a politician and free-market commentator. A publication had to go out at a certain time and Ron Paul often was not around to oversee the lay out, printing or mailing. Many times he did not participate in the composition, either.Ã¢â‚¬Â

This source and others add that publications utilized guest writers and editors on a regular basis. Often these guest writers and editors would write a Ã¢â‚¬Å“Ron PaulÃ¢â‚¬Â column, under which the derogatory comments might have been issued.

Says one source, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Ron Paul didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know about those comments, or know they were written under his name until much later when they were brought to his attention. There were several issues that went out with comments that he would not ordinarily make. He was angry when he saw them.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Ron Paul has said that he did not write the comments in question, but, nonetheless, has taken "moral" responsibility for them.

An excerpt from an apparent interview with Texas Monthly as quoted on the blog Everything2.com clarifies the above information as follows:

"In spite of calls from Gary Bledsoe, the president of the Texas State Conference of the NAACP, and other civil rights leaders for an apology for such obvious racial typecasting, Paul stood his ground. He said only that his remarks about Barbara Jordan related to her stands on affirmative action and that his written comments about blacks were in the context of 'current events and statistical reports of the time.' He denied any racist intent. What made the statements in the publication even more puzzling was that, in four terms as a U. S. congressman and one presidential race, Paul had never uttered anything remotely like this.

"When I ask him why, he pauses for a moment, then says, 'I could never say this in the campaign, but those words weren't really written by me. It wasn't my language at all. Other people help me with my newsletter as I travel around. I think the one on Barbara Jordan was the saddest thing, because Barbara and I served together and actually she was a delightful lady.' ...

"His reasons for keeping this a secret are harder to understand: 'They were never my words, but I had some moral responsibility for them . . . I actually really wanted to try to explain that it doesn't come from me directly, but they campaign aides said that's too confusing. "It appeared in your letter and your name was on that letter and therefore you have to live with it." ' It is a measure of his stubbornness, determination, and ultimately his contrarian nature that, until this surprising volte-face in our interview, he had never shared this secret. It seems, in retrospect, that it would have been far, far easier to have told the truth at the time."

&lt;a href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Ron%20Paul" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Ron%20Paul&lt;/a&gt;

The operative sentence in the above would seem to be: Ã¢â‚¬Å“What made the statements in the publication even more puzzling was that, in four terms as a U. S. congressman and one presidential race, Paul had never uttered anything remotely like this.Ã¢â‚¬Â The remarks may well have been seen as out of character because they were not written by Ron Paul, and he had no knowledge of them and no input into their composition, even though he eventually took responsibility for them.

Adds a source aware of the current tempest over these remarks, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Anybody who claims that Ron Paul made the comments in question is deliberately mis-stating what occurred to make political points. It is a measure of [his opponents] desperation that they are dredging this up again. Anybody who reads all that he has written Ã¢â‚¬" and thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s lots of it Ã¢â‚¬" could see that right away.Ã¢â‚¬Â
