There are two ways of discrediting new members of a discussion forum. The first usually involves asking the same questions over and over as if the 'newbie' has not only answered them with basic logic...but over and over again offered easy to understand examples of his premise to boot. The...

Please...someone tell me that the above isn't even remotely true...

All I am proposing is that any presidential candidate's platform be both detailed and honest. Ron's "Keep the promise..." entitlement fix synopsis is neither. There are no birth dates or future amounts given (winners and losers specified as even in Ryan's socially engineered Plan)...and...

I'm of the opinion that too many people get stuck on past "increases" in the debt or even how we got in to this mess...as opposed to the realities of exactly how much we are in debt and who is indeed responsible (all of us) for eventually putting it to rest (not to metion raising a generation...

I wish that I could simply hand the above to every fellow conservative that I will ever run in to and add the following: When the colonists were in their depths of despair and about to lose all of their hard fought liberties many of which are enjoyed now but not even dreamed about then...was...

I have never advocated anybody 'giving up' their checks. I have only sought to point out that no candidate thus far has even dared suggest that any specific portion of the largest checks written (entitlements being our #1 problem) is in any danger of anything but being honored 100% and...

My friend, we are already on the verge of (fiscal) collapse...and any 'plan to handle the situation' damn well better involve the shared sacrifice of every single person in this country not in 2012 or 2013...but today. If candidates aren't willing (today) to frame this problem as solvable in...

Thank you for the history in relation to Johnson and RP's roots. I would agree that the more you look the more he shines on issues not related to solving the (true) debt crisis or coming across like we all would like a presidential candidate to do on the only significant major news channel that...

While I respect your opinion...it is a little (OK, a lot) scary to me that the immediate handling of a nationally shared debt costing literally billions a month in interest (let alone this country's unfunded liabilities pegged at several times this figure) is viewed or even expressed on the RP...

I respectfully disagree... http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?305608-Amash-to-vote-NO-on-Boehner-debt-ceiling-hike&p=3427308#post3427308 Good point as I look at that historic vote by RP (but one of 4 Republicans) and failure by Amash as pretty much one of the great turning points in...

Aaaaaah...so the idea (and plan) is to find cuts everywhere 'else'...but (heaven forbid) NOT in the biggest entitlement programs that we have going! (I'm guessing that a little haircut in Medicaid is OK though...because all of us here can obviously afford internet service and probably won't be...

If no one is exempt from inflation caused by debt in "Ron's plan"...could you please explain why Ron so vivdly explains otherwise below? (from Business Insider): http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-07-18/wall_street/30041020_1_social-security-default-monetary-policy "...Changing the CPI...

Michigan's Justin amash is dead on. The last vote on your list (debt ceiling) is pretty much the only one that I am concerned about at the moment and he was definitely the only one representative to stand up like a man in regards to opposing it.

"The disconnect finds its roots in the establishment culture in the Republican party," Ivers told Patch. "A lot of people say they want change, but they don't. They find it scary. They fear it." People aren't fearing 'change'...they fear RP himself for the simple reason that he is the only...
