He turned them down while Obamanation's daughter was busy on a field trip with 25 of them.

WHY ISN'T RON PAUL ON THE BALLOTS IN EVERY STATE?

Too bad he's a) a loon on everything but economics, where he's very very good and b) a career politician who has already been crushed in one presidential run as a Libertarian. I'm not adding him to my BAMF list or voting for him any time soon. Maybe I'd take him more seriously if he hadn't spent 30 years voting against bills that would bring his district pork while knowing they would pass anyway, by his own attesting. I'm thinking of a word...what is it...oh yes - hypocrite. His son Rand actually seems made of sterner stuff. Kentucky is lucky.

Maybe you ought to learn what the hell you are talking about.

The pork BS is BS. That money is already allocated to the House, it is completely transparent, and it HAS TO BE SPENT. If it is not spent, it goes to the president to do with as he may and he doesn't have to tell anyone where it goes.

RP does not approve of the system but- he would rather see it go back to constituents than to a president who does not have to account for a dime.

Might behoove you to start learning how the country you live in operates.

So your an Obama supporter?

So rather than take action on bills on which he votes to REDUCE pork, and REDUCE deficits, and REDUCE federal spending, Ron just funnels them to his district. I see. Hypocrite. Oh BTW I held my nose and voted McCain.

Actually, it's too bad most Americans are so deluded that they call somebody speaking the truth crazy, and continue to vote for politicians from both sides of the aisle that promise more free shit, and no real spending cuts.

THAT's what is going on in this country.

A $2.2 Trillion vote-buying campaign every year by the fedgov paying out entitlements.

As long as people can vote themselves free shit, the people who have to work for a living will continue to have to sacrifice more and more of their earnings to support that majority; those who use the power of government to take that production by force.

Santorum and Romney never met a deficit or a new law they didn't like.

How are they different from Obama again?

:rofl:

This won't end well for people who actually work for a paycheck.

Eventually, working hard will net a lower standard of living than going full on the government tit.

It's getting close to that now.

90% of the people with jobs in this country make less than $75,000 per year.

90%.

Your money train is coming to an end free shit army.

I welcome that day.

Probably not TerryK cause there is always at least one un-informed person who would rather hold his nose than vote for someone with integrity for a change.

And this is one of the reasons we are in the trouble that we are. Paul certainly isn't perfect but he reflects the founding Father's vision of this nation the closest. I imagine that today Washington, Jefferson and Adams would be 'loons' as well.

Agree, the founding father's would also all be arrested and destroyed just by the current laws we have today.

One more time, the bureaucracy is very diligent on one thing..self preservation. And they are not about to have the likes of RP send their money to someplace that does them no good. So they just add estimated earmarks to their requested budget, RP gets his cut, they get what they want and everybody is happy. And the Dreaming Sheep continue dreaming that RP has pulled a fast one.

BTW, 40% of what RP 'returns' to his constituents actually came from the Chinese. Very good return on their 'investment' I'd say. No wonder he keeps getting returned to Congress.

It's the video folks, Its the video.
It truly is funny.

Even Ron Paul probably laughed at it.
Hell it's being circulated by Ron Paul supporters.

Link?
RP returns money to his tax-payers because the money has to be spent; he is quite blunt about it.

BTW- you want to start comparing lobbying money?

If you want to get biblical, then Ron Paul's simple message of the truth, saying the emperor wears no clothes, or that we are in empire-building mode, is just another 'call' for those willing to hear the truth... though so few seem to want to hear the truth.

He's stand would represent the forces of light/knowledge/Christ while all the rest on both sides of the Beast from Obama to Romney, Santorum, Gringrich would represent the forces of darkness/lies/AntiChrist. The people are sheep until they learn to become shepherds for their own souls. Simple 'awakening' process as 'graduation' day approaches in '14, or so it is said in esoterica with the comet cluster/realm border arrival.

If the sheeple can't perceive the the truth from the lies, then they simply aren't ready to move on. There is no 'curve' in reality, only in our society based in lies from those that control us like sheep, as they've been taught to do by their masters.

It's a question of which side of the "Force" one wants to align themselves with. Meanwhile the catalyst offered for this awakening will increase as the NWO steps out of the OWO's shadow.. one legislated rule of law to control the herd after the next... anyone paying attention to events in the last few decades can see that simple fact... or they simply cannot see at all, thus they remain 'background' actors on the stage of life.... or sheep.

It is a game to see how many sheeple can be awakened here in Purgatory... where the 'dark side' rules, thus history repeats and repeats its simple lessons in perception of reality. How many lies and penalties suffered thusly from them will it take before more sheeple wake up to the 'call'?

Personally, I don't think Ron Paul needs the SS, as they already have him in their sights if and when needed. Yes, he is ignored, degraded as meaningless, same as Christ was, no? Either the sheeple are capable of discerning fact from fiction or they are not. These tests are really that simple, be they based in the intellect or the emotions, if you can't see with both, by integration of both hemispheres of the brain, then you are doomed to see things in a bad light... thinking you are on the 'right' side, when you are in fact on the 'wrong'.... as 'They' want you to.... the PTB puppet masters that have increasingly dominated the public mind in every land whenever it reached a certain level of development.... all republics turn to empire unless something else occurs first, like being conquered by one, Mother Nature's regular 'visits' or simple internal deterioration.

Until the end, the game goes on and on and on.
 
lol. great video. look idgits, this was posted for FUN. someone went to a lot of work to make this fun vid of RP, and I can tell 90% of you just showed up, started spouting like idgits, never once even bothering to take a look at the SOURCE material Op (me) was posting about. some of you care more about hearing yourselves spout off than about taking a look around.
