I agree with that, but how do we get out of our current system by using ONLY the authority of the President?

I knew that was coming....lol I dont think any of us are advocating an anarchist government. We want a constitutional government and a government ground to a halt is not a Constitutional government. Maybe it would be better than the current system, but I don't think this idea is what RP...

Those are all bills though, and need Congressional approval, at the very least. I can see that working for things like auditing the Fed, but for abolishing the IRS? I cant see it. And if RP just vetoed every bill/budget proposal that had funding for the IRS or for military bases, the...

I appreciate the responses thus far, but I was wondering, did RP ever outline or talk about how he planned to do all of these things?

Apologies if this has been addressed here already, but I have heard this complaint recently and was wondering if RP ever really outlined how he could implement the kind of changes he wanted. Could he close military bases in Germany, Taiwan, Korea, Korea, etc., and bring those troops home, or...

I have lived in Ohio my whole life, but I have never written a candidate in. My plan was to write in Ron Paul for Pres, but I was told by a friend that you cannot write candidates in in Ohio. Anyone have any info on this??? thanks

I was arguing with my wife about Hillary and her "charitable donations" (to The Clinton Fund), and was wondering if there was any public info on what kind of charitable donations Dr. Paul has made? Did he release any of his tax information or anything like that? Just curious.

Seriously...where did the money go?? is there some kind of info that the campaign releases?? What is Lew's idea on the most effective way to reach voters if it is not through advertising?? the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and unfortunately, RP is not getting a lot of votes. So it...

I see an Obama and Hillary commercial every 10 minutes, and even got calls from Obama himself (ha ha) and Hillary's campaign. I havent heard or seen anything from Ron Paul. Is this just a matter of the Dems having so much more money than RP, or what? I was looking forward to seeing some good...

what does the money we spend on the war go to?? I mean I do see my friends point that production is production, whether it's making guns or it's making butter. it's American companies making things and getting paid for them. So.....where is he wrong there? I have a hunch that production is a...

I was told bey a friend that the war doe snot have an effect on the economy, that the housing bubble is to blame for our current situation. I thought i read that usually in war times, inflation increases. If that's the case, then can the housing bubble be related to the war? Someone...

If I were talking to a fairly uneducated voter who thought they might want to support McCain, what would you say to dissuade him from voting for McCain? (I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this, but none of the others really applied either)

As a matter of principle, I am against anything like a smoking ban. But I have to tell you, we have a smoking ban here in Ohio now, and it is really nice to be able to go to the bar every now and then and not come home REEKING of smoke. So personally, I love it. I have tried to argue that...

So Dr. Paul wants us to pull out of NAFTA, WTO, etc., right? He says that free trade should not be regulated by treaties or international agreements. Ok, I get that. And I do agree. BUT So let's say we pull out of these organizations......Who are we going to trade with?? I mean it would be...

also, one other thing, a lot of people talk about - well this guy sits around eating McDonalds, and smoking 2 packs a day, there should be incentive for that person to live a healthy lifestyle. And I 100% agree with that. But what about the person who does live a healthy lifestyle and comes...
