Yeah,,, no. Too interventionist. When America can't/won't compete, it conquers - blame China, Russia, whatever the country.

What "truth" is he talking about? He just got done flip-flopping his position on Climate Change, and when he voted.

What business is it of ours what country wants to negotiate and trade with another country? We should simply stop invading, come back home, drop all sanctions, and start trading. Unless/until our homeland is invaded.

Eliminate the FBI, but transfer FBI employees to DEA so that they can do the job of background checks? How about simply honor the 2nd and let the teachers be armed?

End FedDeptEd, but instead of putting that money back into my pocket/local, use that money to put 3 LEO in every school across America?

Where is the talk about "Just Come Home" - end of story.

Where is the talk about not building a wall, not using eminent domain, and not hiring more federal employees, and instead address the root and stop the incentives.

Where is the talk about crony-corporatist-lobbyists in Washington DC.

Where is the talk about "Economic Freedom Zones" - across America.

Where is the talk about TRUE Free Markets. If I can't afford semiconductors here, I should be able to none of your stinking business buy them wherever I want in order to build my business here at home.

I can see why he said that libertarians were an "unintended consequence" and he now considers himself a conservative. Except conservative is not what I would label him with solutions like that, and the fact that he actually believes that Trump was the best president of the 21st Century. Has Vivek looked at the Cares Act which funded the Pharm Complex, the $8.18T debt that he amassed, the new Federal Agency Operation Warp Speed, the bump stock ban, the bills that he never vetoed, and the rest of Trump's pathetic record?

2008 - "Reform, Prosperity and Peace" (McCain)
2012 - "Believe in America" (Romney)
2016 - "Make America Great Again!" (Trump)
2020 - "Promises Made, Promises Kept" (Trump)
2024 - "1776" (Ramaswamy)


Too bad Glenn didn't ask the hard questions. It was just another sit down podium talk as far as I'm concerned.

Ron Paul is right - until the people wake up and change from within, nothing will change. Politicians/government is not and never will be the answer to any of our problems.


Oh, and Vivek... you CANNOT legislate morality.

 

[Anti Federalist]

I really want to like Vivek... I really do.

It just feels like he's cosplaying a character that is intended to appeal to people like me. I can't shake it.

That is exactly the vibe I'm getting as well.

He says the right things and has the right bona fides but there's just something fakey phony fraud about him.

Is it my own internal biases, thinking he should sound like Apu or something...I dunno.

I'll put him on the list to see in person here in NH and report back.

Flip-Flop Mitt Vivek:

Man, you're running the risk of making me more in favor of Vivek with this selective editing...

This wasn't a "flip" at all. He was saying the climate change agenda is a hoax. Meaning that climate is changing and has always been changing, in part due to human activity, but that obvious fact is being used as part of an agenda to steal wealth and power. I would be saying the same things myself.


The issue here is that Vivek has read and understood Alex Epstein and Bjorn Lomborg and is repeating their language. But it comes across like he's leveraging that language because he knows he can sell it.

But for some reason, you feel the need to spread clever editing to make it seem worse. Man, if it weren't for the Trump detractors, he wouldn't be anywhere... Does the same go for Vivek??

I guess we're seeing it from two different angles. Climate change has been occurring from the beginning of time, it is a completely natural process. The climate "agenda" is recent. To say that the climate agenda is a "hoax", I completely disagree with that. I simply want the truth exposed that the ones responsible for the agenda are held responsible. Gates/WEF and others are indeed involved in the engineering agenda, whether for good or for bad is another debate. I have a big problem with taxpayer dollars being used in some form or fashion, including as a political ping pong ball, and then be told that it is a "hoax".

Of course the moderators of the GOP debate never brought up the hard questions, or topics, nor would the DNC. I remember Ron Paul speaking in '12, and whether asked or not, he brought up actual issues, some of which have never been mentioned or heard before. That is what this is all about.

I said the same thing a couple of weeks ago.

Something fake and douchey about the guy.

PAF reminds me soooo much of a poster that did the exact same thing here in the forum for several years. Just a contrarian, damn near seemed like a bot because of the quickness and readiness of his posts. Posted a TON of posts every day....

I swear it's the same guy/gal/they/zir.

Vapid responses, rather than to discuss or attempt to set the record straight...

Vivek has never held office to have a record. While he may say some good things at the podium and in interviews [uh, yeah, they all do], he has flip-flopped on several issues. Blind support without proper vetting is a fools errand. So, why is it that are you here on RPF?

Some may ask: But where are the good votes/positions? Why didn't you include those?

My response is: Good votes/positions should be the default and be expected. But it is not a few good votes/positions [little bones] that got us where we are - it is all of the bad.

While the Private Corporation determines who on both "sides" are on the National Ballot, you have much more control over local elections.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Voting Record Shows He is Not a Registered Republican, and Donated to Anti-Trump Democrat Candidate in 2016

Social media has buzzed with GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s apparent support of a massive inheritance tax.

Inheritance taxes, referred to as ‘death taxes,’ are taxes you pay when you receive money or property from the estate of a deceased man or woman.

“Unlike the federal estate tax, the beneficiary of the property is responsible for paying the tax, not the estate,” TurboTax writes.

“As of 2023, only six states impose an inheritance tax. And even if you live in one of those states, many beneficiaries are exempt from paying it.”

In Ramaswamy’s Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence, he proposes the idea of a 59% minimum inheritance tax.

Ramaswamy draws the number from suggestions proposed by economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez.

Piketty, an avowed socialist, authored Time for Socialism: Dispatches from a World on Fire, 2016-2021.

“Piketty argues that the time has come to support an inclusive and expansive conception of socialism as a counterweight against the hypercapitalism that defines our current economic ideology,” the book’s Amazon description reads.

Saez co-authored The Triumph of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay, which advocates a “form of capitalist reformism similar to that of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren,” according to World Socialist Web Site.

“If anything, I’d take the figure Piketty and Saez arrive at as a minimum. We shouldn’t allow people to become billionaires just by having rich parents,” Ramaswamy wrote.

2024 Republicans on taxes: In his book, GOP prez candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he favors a 59% inheritance tax rate at a minimum: “We shouldn’t allow people to become billionaires just by having rich parents”

In other words, it appears Ramaswamy supports stealing wealth you’ve earned from the fruits of your labor that you wish to pass down to your children.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Voting Record Shows He is Not a Registered Republican...

You said that didn't matter one bit.

No, seriously. You said it didn't matter one bit if Trump was registered Democrat right up until he decided to try to get the GOP nom. You said that was hunky-dory because Reagan set the precedent. You said that was okay, even though it was not okay for Ron Paul to run with those Big L traitors, fools and useful idiots.

Make up your mind. You always act like you leap to conclusions and make snap judgments, but you just seem to choose (or get) your marching orders. Then you claim your boy is doing right, and everyone else is wrong to do the same damned thing.

Partisanship is the root of all hypocrisy.

 

[acptulsa]

And yes, you're a partisan. Don't read me any rhino-poaching resumé. I have been a partisan myself, and I know it when I see it.

I have been a partisan for Ron Paul three times. It's great, because he can run in any election under the sun, and I can support him 99 44/100% hypocrisy-free. Right now I'm a partisan for RFKJr, because there has never been a sitting president primaried by his own party and the time has surely come to change that. And, he's head and shoulders above all the other candidates in that race. If he wins, and moves on to the general election, he does pose some hypocrisy problems for me. He might lose my partisanship. But then, I'll be celebrating the fact that he just fucked Joe Biden with such joy, I might just lose my own mind. I don't know.

It pays to stop that way, and give your partisanship a hard look in the mouth. I respect myself too much to give that gift away to someone who betrayed me. Ron Paul got that hard look many times, he just kept passing the test.

If Donald Trump gets a pass for exactly the same thing (i.e., not having been a registered Republican and donating to Democrats - because "he's a businessman, he had to do it"), then Ramaswamy does, too, and for the same reason - and if Ramaswamy doesn't, then neither does Trump. You don't get to have it both ways. Pick one.

Ramaswampy and Schwab:

I posted that pic at the beginning of the thread. That guy didn't look like Ramaswamy.

If anyone can find Ramaswamy in this picture, it would mean he did attend a WEF function of some kind.

https://www.fairplaytalks.com/2021/...bal-leaders-committed-to-improving-the-world/

Yeah, ok. Was Ramaswamy heavier when he was young? Did he straighten his hair and part it on the side?

That's a rhetorical question. Your game is obvious. Attack anyone not Trump, truth or accuracy be damned. BAMN.

And not being registered Republican? Yeah, that's quite a sin.
