Paul attorney threatens RNC, Romney campaign

The delegates can vote for whoever they want. No delegate "belongs" to anyone. This is merely a smokescreen by Paul and his Paulbots in an attempt to remain relevant. You were the one who was hoping for this very thing a couple months back with "won" delegates for Romney.

 

I'd love to try it for at least 4 years. Probably would do us a world of good. Probably would do the world a world of good.

We cannot afford, nor is it in our power, to police the world.

 

The Republican Party is not called the "Stupid Party" for no reason. There has apparently been harmony between the Paul and Romney campaigns during the primary. Why these people would do this is beyond reason!

 

Neither can we afford to enter every conflict in the world that does not involve our national security or is none of our business. The Constitution is quite clear about relations with other countries. Read it sometime.

 

All RP is doing, if this is true, is ruining any future political career for his son, Rand.

 

No, what is "whacked" is continuing to spend almost our entire yearly revenue every year on military, because we want to control the world. That is just idiotic. We cannot afford it; we will either withdraw, and take a defensive posture, or we will suffer economic collapse, and withdraw anyway.

The fact of the matter is, we could stop EVERY domestic social program, and we would STILL have to borrow money to keep our troops overseas. It is just moronic. Do you know how enormously powerful our military would be, if we were not wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on overseas logistics??

I am so sick of Neo-cons, who want the president to be some kind of emperor who can order the military around like his own personal hit squad. If the CONGRESS does not declare war, the MILITARY should not be acting...

 

Oh yes, by all means; when the people at the top are caught cheating, we should just cower in our boots, and let them get away with it...otherwise, they might hurt us later...

Romney has won by CHEATING. There are countless documents and videos demonstrating this... That should bother people. Amazing that it does not.

:tonofbricks:

 

Post makes no sense. In essence, you are saying no one in this nation wants it run by the Constitution. That is simply not accurate. The first step is reading the document. If one does not want to abide by the founding document, there are nearly 200 other countries to choose from.

 

And obama won by CHEATING. There are countless documents and videos demonstrating this. That should bother people. Amazing that it does not. The sources have been posted before on the BB, how delegates mysteriously died before they could cast votes for Hillary, etc.

 

Wrong. Between military discretionary spending (about 700-800 billion, annually), and "defense" spending which is not in the budget (around 600-800 billion annually), we spend around 1.5 trillion dollars a year.

Now, when you consider the average 2.5 trillion dollars per year that is our total revenue, and deduct the 33 percent of that revenue that is social security and medicare, that leaves you with ABOUT 1.8 trillion dollars...

I disagree. It is PLAIN that the people in control of the U.S. are power hungry. We just phrase it nicer: "We must protect our strategic interests..."

No, its not. Just the INTEREST on the money we have borrowed for overseas excursions, is between 300 and 400 billion per year!!

No, its not. They do not state it this way, because politically it would be bad. But the president tramples all over the constitution, and UNLESS the "other guy" (Republican/democrat) is in charge, no one says anything. Anytime someone talks about not going to war without a declaration from Congress, they are labeled a "kook"...as if following the Constitution is kooky..

No, we have a bunch of war mongers in power, that are running our country into the ground. We need to bring our troops home, and concentrate on REAL defense spending...not stirring up hornets nests that come back to sting us later.

 

Of course it should bother people. But all people are concerned about is that "their side" wins....neither Romney nor Obama should be anywhere near the oval office!

 

Nor should Ron Paul, IMHO.

 

It is ok to disagree with other political views, but one expects basic knowledge of the Constitution, politics, government and history to have an intelligent discussion. For example, Havensdad and I agreed with each other during the primary season about hoping Romney lost. He did not. Now, we disagree with each other in who we are going to vote for, he voting for a third party, and me voting for Romney, based on conclusions reached from a knowledge of politics. Nothing wrong with that.

However, there is something very wrong posting without some handle of the subject. One cannot have an exchange of ideas without the other party knowing at least some basic facts. One might as well be talking to a hatrack. See if your local community college has political science, government, or American history 101 and come back and post. At least read the Constitution.
