The Top 10 Reasons Why Dr. Ron Paul Is the Only Rational Choice

The top 10 reasons why Dr. Ron Paul is the only rational presidential choice for Americans, Democratic, Republican and Independent:

10. Dr. Paul works a real job, has run a small a business and served in the military. He has been a physician for 40 years, co-owned a coin store for 12 years and was a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. National Guard for five years. That was how our country was set up — for public servants to work a real job that they returned to after their public service was done. He has real skills and is not a professional politician.

9. Dr. Paul has decades of experience running a business and in depth knowlegde of health care.

8. Dr. Paul understands money and is chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology.

7. Dr. Paul does the right thing referencing the U.S. Constitution and works for the country versus campaigning for his ego. He has been serving the public in politics for over 40 years.

6. Dr. Paul refuses to accept a federal pension for his public service, something other members get after a short period because they do not have real jobs. According to Dr. Paul, to receive a pension for public service would be “hypocritical and immoral.

5. Unlike most other candidates out there, Dr. Paul is not a good-looking, smooth-talking, snake charmer or charismatic zealot. He is a regular, plain-spoken person who says it the way it is.

4. Dr. Paul doesn’t care if big groups like him (like unions and businesses). His donations come primarily from individuals, not from groups. He is willing to serve his country honorably without personal gain. Dr. Paul will do what is right for the U.S. based on the Constitution whether or not big money or big government likes it.

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

3. Dr. Paul has written a bill, called the Sun Light Rule that requires our politicians have at least 10 days to read bills before signing them.

2. Dr. Paul will bring practical wisdom, cut spending, balance the budget, stabilize the economy and probably be able to do away with the IRS and income tax, a tax that is not constitutional and was started to fund the civil war and supposed to stop after the civil war. He wants to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, giving the states and parents back control. He wants to do away with other large government agencies, restoring the rightful power to the states.

1. Dr. Paul’s old-fashioned decency, integrity, honor and real-life experience are exactly what our country needs after hiring actors, puppets, oil and other group-connected slick sales men and marketers. He’s been married to the same woman, Carol, for 54 years (married 1957).

Electing dishonorable, irresponsible, good-looking, smooth-talkers over the past several decades has eroded our country’s stability.

Are Americans finally ready to elect an honest, decent man who will not listen to non-sense from regular Americans, politicians or corporations? A president who will be accountable and hold us all accountable? I hope so.

“Special interests have replaced the concern that the Founders had for general welfare. Vote trading is seen as good politics. The errand-boy mentality is ordinary, the defender of liberty is seen as bizarre. It’s difficult for one who loves true liberty and utterly detests the power of the state to come to Washington for a period of time and not leave a true cynic.” – Dr. Paul

“He does not take money from corporate PACs. Lobbyists cannot sway him; to try is a waste of time. He never bargains with his own deeply held beliefs, nor does he cut backroom deals. Because his political views and his personal convictions are in complete harmony, he seldom faces a “tough” vote. And when the politicking for the week is over, he returns to his district to take up his lifelong occupation, which has nothing to do with politics.” – S. C. Gwynne

  1. Congressman/ Dr. Ron Paul is our only hope to protect our Constitution our freedoms and the people from government tyranny. He is the ONLY person I will vote for as our President. This country has been abused and corrupted by people in this Nation who have no love for the principles/laws that were written in our US Constitution. As a former Great President John F Kennedy said ” Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For Your Country”

  2. When Congressman/ Dr. Ron Paul is HOPEFULLY elected to be OUR US President, then I will again feel that my great grandparents were right in coming to America. The land of the free, and the home of the brave, (But not in unnecessary wars like what we are doing right now) but to have the courage to do the right thing for our nation. As President John F. Kennedy said “Ask Not What Your Country can Do for You, But, What You Can Do For Your Country” A Great President He Was !

  4. We have to unite Democrats and Republicans to vote for Ron Paul 2012.

    We all want the same thing. No Needless Wars, Rational Spending, And Accountability.

    help win the fight by spreading the word.

    infowarrior76. com has news article links like drudge

  5. Ron Paul or this country dies. Unless he’s a liar, then we die anyway.

    • Can be any worse than “knowing” you’re voting for a liar…

  6. Surely the establishment publicity for Ron Paul must be making SOME people uneasy?

    And the reported taking on of Bruce Fein as his campaign’s senior legal adviser?

    • By “SOME people” I mean those who once thought RP posed a threat to the Establishment.

  7. I agree that Ron Paul would be a great President, and would do the right things to restore the country’s greatness, but I am afraid that, once it becomes clear that the majority of the citizenry want him to be President, he will be assassinated.

    The globalists have gotten away with so many dastardly deeds, including the Kennedy assassinations, far too many false-flag attacks (not just 9-11), and machinations heading the planet towards a one-world government, that Dr. Paul simply doesn’t have much of a chance of survival, unless some military group (like the SEALs) take it upon themselves to protect him from harm.

  8. It’s all down to a numbers in perception-game. (And not the kind paid for by George Soros!)

    “Democrats for Ron Paul!”

  9. If we still lived in a democracy Ron Paul would be an excellent choice.

    A Coup d’etat began during the 2008 presidential election.

    Obama is not the president, he’s the acting president. He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. Obama is now a Pentagon puppet.

    Here’s what Obama, Osama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last presidential election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search PalinsDirtyLittleSecret.blogspot before it’s removed

    • He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot i see this quote all over yet wish to read further on this story. please provide info…… anyone

  10. I like Ron Paul but he danced around the FEMA question by Alex stating he dont remember that interview. Seems to me that if your running for president and someone ask you about fema camps and evil government, you would remember saying it on camera. and Alex has never come out and asked direct questions of Dr. Paul either the way that he does with others. Just an observation. I still like Paul for president but enough with the tip toe crap, if america is ready for Ron Paul then the truth will only serve him.

    • It’s not like he said it in a formal interview. It was some guy with a camera in a crowded event trying to put words in his mouth. Paul didnt even make eye contact with him he was so busy multitasking. If you look at what he actually said, it can be interpreted in a number of ways. We “infowarriors” want him to validate the concentration camp rhetoric we have become uccustomed to, but his comment can also be interpreted as simply saying that FEMA is preparing or “setting the stage” in order to be able to take advantage of an inevitable outbreak of violence and uprising.

      He agreed with Alex that they are launching a power grab, but we shouldnt expect him to be a parrot for infowars concentration camp jargon. Even if he secretly believed it, he probably couldnt back it up with incontrovertable proof and its a deadly serious charge.

      I personally think it’s ok, given what he has been willing to speak about publically, that he might couch certain views in politically diplomatic language. He always has. He’s been in the game a long time. Talking like Alex on every issue wouldnt have allowed to get where he is.

      Hell, maybe he is only 70% as hardcore in his political analysis as Alex. He’s still the best potential president the country has seen this century.

      • The other thing we need to be careful about is checking for ourselves some of the truth claims Alex makes. I forget which one it was but I was watching a Jones film and he was putting up snippets of bills that “proved” that private citizens were going to be conscripted and another where it stated explicitly that millitary work camps were actively being built and test run. Of course I was like “holy f**k” and paused the film to get the bill numbers or whatever else he was showing. Then I noticed he had highlighted certain words and left out others with “…”

        When I sought them out I discovered that the bill or rule or law or whatever it was that detailed mandatory civilian military service, the very one Alex used, was only talking about civilian employees in the DOD and only if I recall correctly, in their respective functions.

        As for the military work camps, the document he cited only talked about a partnership with the prison system, where prisoners would be brought into the camps to build or work on military base infrastructure and stuff.

        Now, as I always say, I like Alex and listen to his show often, but his “truth” credentials are not squeaky clean. He likes to scare the sh*t out of people and from what I discovered he is not above bending the truth to do it. Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that his editing of the documentation he presented in his movie was unintentional and he was honestly presenting his understanding, it just proved to me that getting all of our info from Alex and uncritically believing it without verifying it for ourselves is not that different from getting our info from the mainstream media. We have to rely on our own intelligence.

        Now every time Alex says “they admitted” or “it’s been admitted” without saying exactly where, I cringe a little and try to remember to follow up on my own.

        It’s an interesting exercise.

        • Sage advice.

        • I can agree with that. Im not one to jump on a bandwagon without first checking into the facts, Like I said I believe Paul to be the best canidate we have and if he pulls off only three things he wants to change, then at least its a step into the right direction, meaning back to a more constitutional minded government.

  11. Dr. Paul has all the qualities needed for President except that he is NOT going to lick the

    boots of the Zionists, neo cons and Israeli firsters!!!! What does EVERY candidate for President

    Have in COMMON???? They are WARMONGERS and Israeli ASS kissers!!!! End our occupation of the

    MID EAST now!!! Bring the troops home and take all the money we are spending on Israel’s Wars

    and spend it building up America…. Take care of our elderly, build roads, bridges, schools,

    fix the housing mess etc etc etc…. Let Israel fight her own WARS…. Let them sink or swim on

    their own dime and let their phony balony god (damn) help them out…. Not US!!!! Peace children.

  12. Voting for and supporting Rep. Dr. Ron Paul for the Presidency is not a “choice” it is every true American’s DUTY.

    • There simply is no other “candidate” running who is qualified for the job.

  13. I was genuinely disheartened when I heard the recent interview on here and dr paul stated that perry may actually WIN. I heard a sense of HIM NOT in his voice. I think he eally doesn’t plan on winning. As we all know, (or should), if you don’t 110% BELIEVE.. you will not accomplish the task at hand……..

  14. Article from Internation Business Times dated 6/12/11:

    According to a Reuters report, China is working on a ballistic missile that could pose a serious threat to U.S. aircraft carriers, which Washington could deploy to seas around Taiwan in the event of a crisis with the self-ruled island, which China claims as its territory.

    “The missile is still undergoing experimental testing and will be used as a defensive weapon when it is successfully developed, not an offensive one,” Chen was quoted as saying.

    Use of such missiles would leverage China’s growing prowess in developing more advanced satellites, according to a report in October’s Journal of Strategic Studies.

    However, officials within China’s military establishment have tried to dismiss the idea of a “China threat” claiming that China had no expansionist motives.

    People’s Daily reported retired Maj. Gen. Xu Guangyu saying, “We only want one thing: Don’t harm our interests. The U.S. must accept the changing situation. As China becomes more powerful, we’ll start voicing our opinions about our maritime demands, and any conflicts regarding surrounding territories.” He characterizes China’s security stance as “active defense”, and says Beijing has no intention of opening military bases overseas or replacing the U.S. as a “global policeman.”

    However, many believe that given China’s swift military advancements, the “China threat” cannot be subverted.

    • Who needs to “subvert” it? The balance of power is the scale of peace.

  15. Here’s what is going to happen: Dr. Paul will split the ticket. Obama wins another term. Neo-cons aren’t going to play by anyone’s rules but their own. It’s why Dr. Paul doesn’t get the attention, he’s not a Neo-con. They hope he’ll go away. I say that he will garner more votes than the Republican shill ticket. The Attorney General of South Carolina came out over the weekend in support of Huntsman. HUNTSMAN! He got 69 votes in Iowa. Our Governor, the one that is a “converted” to Methodist Shiite Muslim will wait to see who the frontrunner is before she jumps into the fray.

    • It’s becoming very obvious who we need to vote out as we remain vigilant and have The Good Dr.’s back throughout the campaign and his presidency and beyond. He can’t take the country back alone. This is OUR election. This is OUR country. It’s time WE took responsibility for it, and ourselves. Take action. Become a delegate or he won’t get on the ticket. Once he does… O-bomb-a’s gone.

    • Are you saying that “They hope he’ll go away” or that he is part of the script of the next presidential election?

  16. RON PAUL 2012!

  17. The vast majority of independen­t voters
    are very comfortabl­e in Dr. Ron’s camp.

    • Agreed. He may not be president yet but, he’s my Commander in Chief in the Revolution for Liberty.

  18. It is rumoured that Ron Paul is investing in Project 60 companies. Project 60 is the governments answer to pay off the national debt by selling huge tracts of land, including whole states, to China. I have been reading about it elsewhere and was wondering if anyone else has heard anything to that effect?

    • PROBABLY A COMMUNIST HIT PIECE ON MY MAN RON RON.. DON’T BELIEVE IT UNLESS U SEE HIS SIGNATURE ON IT

    • I don’t know of him investing in anything but whatever’s gold.

    • Here China bought land around Boise. 30 square miles of Texas oil and gas fields. They have bid on construction projects on the east coast and in California, but there seems to be a news blackout on this. Have heard about Project 61 twice now. Also seeing China is in the Canadian oil fields. The way they did it in Africa, they will move in their own labor force and dominate.
      Sun Tzu, “win all without fighting.” If you pay attention and you will see it beginning.

    • The US would just print money to ‘pay off the debt’.

      The rumor was the US was offering land as collateral on new loans.
      Unfortunately that is fraudulent, because the land isn’t the government’s to give away, and the contract was for land if the US defaulted, which it can’t because it can print its own money.
      So China loses out, and they would be highly foolish to try to take ownership of said land.

      • I hope you are right.

  19. Being british, I actually envy you for having someone of this caliber running for president in 2012…Most of our politicians are privately educated prats who are career politicians and never done a decent day’s work in all their lives. I hope you do the right thing and vote this guy, god knows I would if he was running over here!

  20. Dr Paul is the only example of a decent, honorable politician in our great nation. I am not for idol worship or blind allegiance, but after doing the research, this guy walks the walk.

    If only we could wake more people up.

  21. I am a bit confused why Ron Paul is not pointing out the obvious. The Iowa straw poll put him in second (really statistically tied for first) but the media coverage has been almost exclusively on the other candidates. Should not the message be, Select who the corporate media does not clearly want to see elected? The only time they permit him on is when they have an issue they believe they can make him look foolish. Ultimately he turns the tables and makes them look foolish.

    We need to start hearing more discussion about how this corporate media is bashing or ignoring the peoples candidates. It is so clear, and I think people will respond well to this message.

  22. SHARED/FORWARD- COPY PASTE SEND- WHATEVER

    RON PAUL 2012!!!
    END THE DAMN FED
    END THE WARS

  23. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR BRAIN WASHED MIND CONTROLLED ZOMBIES TODAY!!!!!!! AS IT IS 9/1/11 BE VIGILANT MY GUARDIAN ANGELS OF LIGHT !!!!!!! THE FALLEN WILL STAY THERE!!!!!!! THE TRUE WILL RISE!!!!!!!
