I don't think he needs to be rebranded. Its more of getting the republicans to find him more appealing than Romney. Republicans think of Ronald Reagan as a god, and they have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan ever since he left office. I for one do not see any similarities between Reagan...

If Ron Paul doesn't become the GOP's presidential candidate and we decide to write his name in on the ballot, will these votes be counted? I went to my states election board website (Illinois) to see what or if I could write-in someones name who is not on the ballot, and here is what it said...

The costs may be pretty close if they're tied to the the price of gold, its hard to say. But then again, what would the price of gold be if the FED wasn't around.

Regulations do drive costs up, but not as much as printing money out of thin air. Yes you can say cars are way better than they were in 1970 just as much as the cars of 1970 were way better than the cars from 1920. But thats what the technology was at the time. Look at the computer you use today...

re-editted to look more uniform

I tried posting the one I made using Pages on my computer. But when I copied and pasted it here, everything was pushed to the left. I couldn't figure out how to columnize it here so I just typed it out in paragraphs. The way you did it looks pretty good.

Another way of looking at this is, if you or someone you know thinks or says they are better off today because back in 1970 they were only making the minimum wage of $1.60/hr and today they are making the median wage of $19.25/hr, they are wrong. If it takes 63.72 hours to pay for an ounce of...

I posted a thread yesterday and decided to update it adding the costs of a home and automobile. And also added a WHAT IF? . What if our wages where based upon a gold standard? Assuming the wages of 1970 are based upon the price of gold, and wages increased with the price of gold, what should our...

I was thinking about what Ron Paul had said during one of the first debates, when he said "you could buy a gallon of gas for one silver dime". So I compared the wages and costs of two years, 1970 and 2010, and came up with these depressing facts. In 1970 the minimum wage was $1.60 per hour and...

Article on MSN "Will Ron Paul-onomics beat Obama?" http://money.msn.com/investing/will-ron-paul-onomics-beat-obama-mirhaydari.aspx

Fred Flintstone's endorsement would carry more weight then Fred Thompson's.

While Ron Paul continually pounds the fact that he is the most conservative of the bunch, he should slam the others by calling them Democrats 2.0, an upgraded version of the Democrats.

If Romney's income tax filings come up again, Ron Paul should say "If we were to go to a zero percent income tax, as I have suggested, we wouldn't need to see anyone's income tax forms."

You have to remember the straw poll from last year in Florida. Remember Herman Cain won. They don't like Mitt, yet Mitt is the only one with the money to compete in Florida. If Florida keeps it as winner takes all, they stand to lose a lot of money being pumped into their economy, because no one...
