I THINK ALL SHOULD READ THIS Republicans and Democrats alike, since I feel you both get equally screwed... His no votes are what is necessary! When people try to take out liberties away he votes no. That is what the politicians are SUPPOSED to do. He thinks that The Constitution is correct and there shouldnt be this huge Govt that controls so much and our liberties. The federal and state govt telling us what we can and cannot do Is not how this land was founded. Ron Paul wants to get back to that. Get back the to the people running this country, not liars and religious cult freaks. We, the majority are not millionaires, we cant run for office. It has become that the elite can only be President when that wasnt how it used to be. Anyone could be President, anyone born here. The people ran this country. Now only the rich run this country. Do you think that these rich people have our best interest in mind? Ron Paul does He wants us to be in charge of our own country. Have you heard this phrase, A Government of the people, by the people, for the people? Do you know who said that? One of our greatest Presidents and he was right! When have you heard anything like that from one of our Presidents? Want jobs? Fine tax the crap out of every company shipping them overseas. Its that easy, but they dont Do you know why? Because of log rolling The companies give them money! Millions of dollars!!! Is that for the people? No Its for the rich. Every President does it. That is why I find it funny that people fight over Republicans and Democrats when you get equally screwed by either or It doesnt matter Ron Paul is our only hope to have the freedom we fought for, our ancestors died for, and is our RIGHT as citizens of the Greatest Country on this Planet!!!
They aren't? So even if the Supreme Court says a law is constitutional, it may still unconstitutional in your eyes? Good, then we're agreed. Then state nullification of unconstitutional laws, it seems, is acceptable.
Only "yes" votes are accomplishments. Ergo, politicians who mindlessly vote "yes" on everything are the most effective and accomplished ones.
AV: The issue is whether or not their opinions should be presumed to be the final and absolute position on whether a law is constitutional under the current Constitution. Iriemon: They are not [presumed to be the final and absolute position on whether a law is constitutional under the current Constitution]. AV: So even if the Supreme Court says a law is constitutional, it may still unconstitutional? Iriemon: I said nothing of that sort. ???????????????????????????????????????????
I like him too - and Paul has not dropped out. He is still in the race. He will just not use anymore money and see how many delegates he can gather. I see nothing wrong with that, he also said he will not run third party to split the vote. He knows he is ignored by all the cable networks and the media; they just wish he would go away. Why should he? They have never shown him any respect, why should he do what they want? He would make a good VP too and then Romney would have it in the bag. Of course the corporate hogs that run everything would never let Romney do that.
My bad, I misread your post. Yes, the decisions of the Supremes are presumed to be the final position on whether a law is consitutional under the current constitution.
I understood AV to mean the Constitution in the state it currently exists, i.e. with whatever amendments.
Accomplished for whom? That is what you are not seeing... If it tiakes away our liberties, then what good is this politician that votes yes on everything? Have you ever heard of a "yes man"... Well, there you go... I would rather have someone who fights for me and says no instead of being a "Yes Man" and saying yes all the (*)(*)(*)(*) time...
Ron Paul is an Idea. and Ideas never die. If he drops out, he drops out but at least his message got out there so when everything goes to the can, the idiots who voted against him can't blame him in return.
Okay then. Well, I don't agree with that. I agree the courts should not enforce laws they think are unconstitutional (they do enforce in the sense that if they recognize a law, the law is unenforceable). But their judgment should not prevent other individuals and branches of govt from having their own judgments on the matter.
Courts don't enforce laws. They decide cases. The have very limited authority or power to enforce anything, except conduct in the case before them. The executive branch enforces the law. If the other branches made their own decision, no act of Congress would ever be deemed unconstitution, nor would any act of the president. The Congress could decide, for example, that a law making possession of guns illegal is fine, or that a law requiring people to have health insurance is fine. In fact, why would Congress ever think a law it passes is unconsituttional? The president could decide that he has the power to lock away Americans accused of being terrorists without a hearing or trial. He could lock thousands away and "judge" his actions are completely constitutional. These are blatant examples, but if the Supreme Court does not authority to decide these matters, you are taking away a check on the power of the President and Congress.
which he has not yet done contrary to what all these paid posters working for romney want us to believe.
I'm not a Republican, but if I were, I'd say that the one thing that Romney has on Obama is that he hasn't killed any children. Yet.
you need to look in the mirror when making that statement.the loons are the ones that ignore how he is the choice of the american people and how he is the only one that represents us.Only a paid supporter of romney would post to support a facist like obama or romney and constantly ignore how Paul is our only hope..lol.
But the one thing he does have in common is like obama,he has ties to a terrorist group.He has also said that Obama has not spent enough money on defense and our phony war on terror.so as hard as it is to believe,would not be at all surprising if he turned out to be even worse than Obama.Every president that gets in always is worse than the previous one.
Math doesn't lie. There are 9 states left to vote, only 9. Total votes cast in the Republican primaries to date. 14,471,790. Paul has received 1,608,837 of those votes. That is 11.11%. With only 9 states left, Paul is unlikely to surpass Gingrich in votes, and has no chance of getting more votes than Santorum already has. And both Santorum and Gingrich dropped out EARLIER than PAul DID, because they KNEW they had no chance. But they will both end up ahead of Paul. 1144 delegates are needed to win the nomination. Romney has 989 now, that's 86.45% Paul has 104 now, thats 09.09% of what is needed. There are NOT enough delegates LEFT for him to win anything. Gingrich has 40% more delegates than Paul. Paul probably will not catch Gingrich. Santorum has 2.6 TIMES as many delegates as Paul. Paul has no chance of catching Santorum. Paul will almost surely finish FOURTH in a 2 man race. THAT is the math.
Paulobots and their disassociation with reality. PAUL QUIT! Its ALL OVER! And if he had not quit, which he did. Poorly, sloppily, badly, but he quit. And even if he had stayed in the race, it wouldn't make any difference. There are NOT enough delegates left for Paul to even become a factor. He is an "also ran," that barely fogged a mirror.
Of course he will. He just hasn't had a chance to start launching drone attacks on "patterns" of "terrorist" behavior (ie. weddings, funerals, and anywhere else people gather) in far off lands.
Ah but libs and their supporters don't want anyone to know that. They instead want everyone to remain ignorant of how the electoral process really works. This is the idiots thought Al-Gore won the Presidency. They don't know that it's the electors (delegates) votes at the state convention which really matter. Which is what Mr. Paul is concentrating on obtaining.
