neglect to refer to him by his proper title, which he has earned.

His title, if you will, is CONGRESSMAN Ron Paul.

Every time we refer to him as, "Paul", "Ron Paul", "Dr. Paul". etc. anything that does NOT refer to him as a Congressional Representative sends out the message that his is not. But he IS and deserves our respect for all he has done.

It would be a lot easier for folks to remember his name when he switches from Congressman Dr. Ron Paul to President Ron Paul.



Congressman Dr. Ron Paul cured my political apathy. :)

I think Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. would be more appropriate.
 
Paul doesn't care what you call him. I asked Ron once and he said, "As long as you're voting for me, you can call be George W. Bush if you want." Ron Paul! Dr. Paul! Paul! Ron! It doesn't matter.
 
hmm that is true but it is faster and easier to say Ron which is good for this internet talking thing.
 
He's our employee. Ron works for me. You oughta hear what I call George. :D

THIS is the sentiment I agree with.
Titles, schmitles. In my opinion they are tools of oppression.


"Congressman" is a job, an office, it is NOT a title of Nobility.


BTW, you DO know that while in Congress they refer to each other as "The honorable gentleman from [Name of State]" etc.

Personally whenever I encounter politicians I refer to them as "Mr."
And I expect the same LEVEL of respect from them, so if they use MY first name (from name tag or such) I immediately begin using THEIR first name. (Hey if THEY think I am on a first name basis with them, I'll play along.)

But what always DISGUSTS me is when someone "bows and scrapes" before them and uses their job name as a "title" or worse as if it were their name. "Oh, te he, Congressman, you must be joking...te he he..." Blech.
