I don't give sh!t which candidate says he'll end the Fed, they can retract their word later, there's ONLY ONE candidate that can truly be trusted to try & do everything in his power to end the Fed so I'd rather have a pledge that pledges to vote for him because he's the only one who can be trusted to end the fed



Then those are bonafide Romney-supporters (or even others), infiltrators, into liberty-movement that are trying to spread negativity here & are trying to feed us a Romney/Paul ticket because they know nobody can win the General election without Paul & his base

Ron Paul endorsed Art... :P If his word isn't good I don't know who's is.
 
Even Rand Paul in his campaign said he wouldn't try to end the Fed. The only guy currently in Congress who has said it besides Ron is Justin Amash (well Kucinich has said it but he'd just replace it w/ more of the same)
 
There's a phrase around here... I think its..No One But Paul?
We should just stick to that.

^^THIS^^

The only reason I'm even paying any attention to the American electoral process is due to Dr. Paul. In my lifetime, there has never been a candidate that would do what has been needed. As a result, I voted once in 2008 for Dr. Paul. I have been eligible to vote since 1984. I honestly have to wonder when I will ever be able to consider a candidate in the future. I highly doubt RP.v2 will evolve anytime soon.

Don't be so pessimistic! I see a ton of RP v2.0's all over this forum! Granted, you can never expect the same man (delivered 4k babies...) but the policies are bound to live on in nearly every member of this board.

Be proud, say it loud! Ron Paul Republicans!

I hope your right. But as a realist, I'm fairly certain if there was a candidate, the average American would still be sleeping away our liberty. Unfortunately it's going to have to get much uglier before they wake up to the reality of our plight.
 
Not exactly the most even-handed poll ever...

I assume we're talking about candidates at all levels, and not just presidential. If I see a candidate that's promising on most of my core issues, but not on the Fed, I have no problem supporting them. Especially if they're better than the opposition.

That being said, it's hard to find candidates in the GOP nowadays that doesn't at least pay lip service to auditing the Fed. Ending is a different story, but even Ron Paul wouldn't end the Fed during his term.

When I see a candidate, the first two places I go on his/her website is to find their position on the Fed, and position on foreign policy. Then I'll find the best candidate of the ones running on those issues, even if it's not perfect.
 
If they would audit the fed and release the results publicly, I would consider voting for them.

Outright ending it now, you would have very few candidates to vote for.
 
There are a lot of other important issues. I agree that the Fed is pernicious in a very profound way, but if someone campaigned on an anti-war, pro-civil liberties, small and frugal government platform with no mention of the Fed I'd have no problem supporting them. That goes double at the local level, of course, since it would be kind of quixotic for someone running for state representative to make ending the Fed a campaign issue.
 
I don't think its necessarily important to completely end it. At the very least it does need a complete overhaul though and 110% transparency. I think the most important thing is having sound money. The ability to just print money whenever is the main problem as it devalues what already is worthless currency.
 
I think even Dr. Paul has said he wouldn't end it entirely. What he has advocated is ending the system as it currently exists. Which is more or less the same thing. He said there would be a role for it to play, but that role would be of little consequence to the grand scheme. Not in exactly those words but close.

I agree with Aaron Russo. @5:30 - Have candidates sign an affidavit swearing that they will work to shut down the Federal Reserve System. If they don't sign it, then don't vote for them. It is the single most important issue of our time. Stop the counterfeiters.

Ah, imagine that, holing politicians accountable. What a magnificent concept. If this happened I would rest easily.
