Worst possible thing about a Ron Paul Presidency?

[Workguy23]

Hey all, I've been an avid reader of these forums since around the Ames Straw Poll. I migrated over here from DailyPaul, and I spend hours at work during slow time just browsing the forums. I don't post very much, but I was thinking about something that I wish more Americans would think about

What is the WORST possible thing that could come of a Dr. Ron Paul presidency? I can think of SO many worse case scenarios most of the other candidates like Hillary, McCain, Huckabee, Romney, etc.

Before anyone calls me a troll, my wife and co-workers would beg to differ, seeing as how Dr. Paul is all I ever talk about. But I'm really trying to contemplate, what is the worse thing that could come of Dr. Paul being our President? Stepping back from my "supporter" self, I still can't think of anything, except maybe the welfare-dependant will suffer at first, until the economy picks up and more jobs are created. Many government employees would lose their jobs due to the cutting of departments, but that's about all I can think of, honestly!

I believe that IF there were another attack on our country that Dr. Paul's approach of Letters of Marque and Reprisal is the most logical and toughest on terror. Rather than involve us in more wars, like other candidates. Dr. Paul has all the right ideas, and he gets them directly from the Constitution. When I watch Dr. Paul speak, it nearly brings tears to my eyes, because I see a man, almost to the point of desperation, saying "I care so much for this country. I'm terrified of where we are headed, this isn't how America is suppose to be, PLEASE LISTEN to me!" And yet, the voice of liberty and reason, is drowned out by cheers of Americans marching, unknowingly, to the drums of war saying "Take everything from us, just give us a sense of protection."

Sorry to go on like that, it's just SO FRUSTRATING! But back to my original question. Taking a step back from a completely un-bias prospective, what, if anything, would be the worst possible thing that could come of a Ron Paul presidency?

worst thing? it not happening.

edit: maybe people hitting financial hardships or other hardships because of their newfound freedom and welfare. people would have to learn that they have to be responsible for themselves again.

I hear ya.....it pisses me off to no end. I have to stop now.....I have already been warned by the moderators......they keep me out of trouble.

There is no down side that I can think of that would in any way outweigh the good he would do.

Can you imagine what the first State of the Union would be like with Dr. Paul there in OUR corner and speaking to and for us for a change?

RP Presidency would be a nightmare come true for many evil people....

A much smarter population????? thats not bad in our eyes, but in some people's eyes its THE worst thing that could happen with a Ron Paul Presidency.

HOnestly I cant think of anything. Maybe the transition period from BUSH administration to PAUL Presidency is a little tough because of War.

The mentality of the country will have to change. People will actually have to make choices and take care of their kids for example, instead of letting an underpaid teacher do it.

The only bad thing that I can think of is the loss of government jobs... but that isn't necessarily a bad thing

People would go nutz finding out what our gov't has been up to for the past 100years due to transparency in a Ron Paul presidency!

some of those would transfer to State positions.

The first assassination in decades?

Horrible, but he'd be rocking a LOT of really big boats.

assassination?

Well the obvious thing McCain supporters (neocons) war supporters/bush supporters will think is

They think we will get attacked. Maybe we will get attacked. Initially the radical muslims might not believe us, maybe they won't. their recruiting ability will drop off. I think no matter who we elect there is that possibility. Less if we pull out now though.

A lot of government workers will be wondering about their jobs. CPA's will be happy because they can get more money back for their clients, at least initially.

Hopefully no one takes out Paul, like Martin Luther King some people just don't want change and will do whatever they can to stop it.

A lot of bickering in congress, a lot of filibusters. A lot of vetoing. Capitol Hill might sit at a standstill, or gang up on Paul. It will be a lame duck congress until we can get more revolutionaries in there.

A lot of our welfare nations will be pissed.

It would have to be the government will be gridlocked on what to do, and not do much of anything. It'll be Dr. Veto.

 

[kyleAF]

assassination?

Yep. That's (IMO) the WORST thing that could happen during his Presidency.

Growing pains on the road to prosperity. State and local goverment as well as non-profit organizations should be able to provide some kind of welfare support to get them through tough times. Federal gov't employees can fall back to state and local gov't positions. No pain, no gain.

 

[btwilli1]

What do you guys tell CPA's? My future brother-in-law was like hell no I won't support Paul.

 

[angrydragon]

Why not? CPA's will still have to handle state taxes and sales taxes with some states, and they'll probably handle the influx of money that people will get without the income tax.
