A Ron Paul Presidency


ron_paul

For the sake of argument, let’s assume for a moment that Ron Paul prevails in the GOP presidential primary and somehow survives the onslaught from the Far Left, who must be salivating over the thoughts of a match up with an old, white guy surrounded by charges of racism and, at age 77, becomes the oldest man ever elected President of the United States.

Once the inaugural parties are behind us and the smoke clears, how does President Ron Paul govern? And I use the term ‘govern’ in a twisted sort of way to mean actually get things done.

The first question we should ask is how does the Republican Party power base respond to a Ron Paul presidency? How eager do you think the GOP ‘establishment’ will be to advance his agenda? Is it likely that Speaker of the House John Boehner or Senate Minority (Majority?) Leader Mitch McConnell will be willing to work with President Paul?

After so many years in Washington, who are Ron Paul’s allies on Capitol Hill? Does he have a base of followers in Congress who’ve been inspired by his unique stand for liberty that he can count on?

If the Republicans refuses to caucus on his behalf, will he turn to the Progressive Socialist Party, formerly known as the Democratic Party? Out of desperation, does a Ron Paul White House strike an unholy alliance with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?

For that matter, what does a Ron Paul White House look like? Who does he surround himself with? Who will advise him? We can assume that Lew Rockwell will not have a role… right???

Who does Ron Paul select as Secretary of State to implement his questionable brand of foreign policy?

Will he even be able to find someone willing to accept the role of Secretary of Defense in what will surely be the biggest military draw down in U.S. History?

Having been exceptionally critical of just about every Secretary of Treasury since Reagan, who does he choose that’s sympatico with his views on monetary policy? How does Wall St. respond?

With Ron Paul’s views on individual liberty, will anyone take on the responsibility as Secretary of Homeland Security to protect America from an attack?

And considering that the Attorney General under Ron Paul is sure to have his/her hands full and then some, who ends up in this seat?

I know, I know. Far too many questions… but questions that need to be asked.

Looking back on the outcome of the 2008 presidential election, it didn’t require a rocket scientist to see that Obama was destined to disappoint. The hopes of an Obama presidency were built up to an impossible level that no earthly man could ever meet. I’m sure we all remember the video of the young woman celebrating and proclaiming that she’ll no longer have to worry about paying her bills or put gas in her car.

Will Ron Paul’s emphatic base experience a similar let down, once President Paul is face with the realities of governing? And how does he deal with this reality? Considering he will be 81 yrs old by the end of his term and we’ve seen time and again how quickly Presidents age, how does his health hold up? Remember all the emphasis on Reagan’s age when he was running?

Yeah, I know… more questions. But legitimate questions.

Which may or may not have satisfactory answers. Questions that will probably upset Ron Paul supporters who have a tendency to be overly protective of their guy, but questions any voter should ask themselves as they consider who to support in the 2012 GOP presidential primary.

In a world that ludicrous...

The GOP would sweep the House and Senate races except in the bluest of the blues.

Understanding the pending disaster of global proportion a Paul presidency would surely inflict upon our republic and the rest of the free world, the Republican congressional supermajority is forced to impeach Paul and his VP on grounds of incompetence and mental instability within days of their swearing in.

Reluctantly, Speaker Ryan ascends to the Office of the President of the United States.

The Dow soars 1600 points in the first hour following the news.

“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan

 

There is no way the Republicans can nominate ”Racist Ron” Paul to run against this countries first black president, not with those newsletters out there.

Ron Paul, a career politican with a well deserved reputation for anti semitism, is currently drawing fire for making loads of money from racist newsletters that bear his name. On top of the recent revelations that the newsletters contained some really nasty comments about blacks, come brand new revelations that this piece of garbage also attacked Jews and gays in print.

Let’s start at the top. We all know the Democrats are going to play the ”race card” against whoever the Republicans nominate. Count on it. Now imagine this scenario, heading our ticket is a candidate whose newsletter said this about Ronald Reagan(for giving Martin Luther a holiday), ”We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey day”. Or how about this little nugget of wisdom, ”Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions.” You might as well hand Nancy Pelosi her gavel back, because the stench from being identified with this lowlife is going to cause the Republicans to get decimated in every congressional race, as well as get Obama reelected.

And it only goes downhill from there for ”Racist Ron”. Everyone knows Paul published racist newsletters under his name for profit. But did anyone ever wonder about the direct mailer ads that went out for these newsletters, and to see who they were marketed to. Well guess what REUTERS managed to get ahold of? The ads(which were signed by Paul) talk about the ”federal homosexual cover up of AIDS”. Of course that fits right in with Paul’s newsletter’s disgusting comment that people with AIDS ”enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick.” And of course at the bottom of the ad was a solicitation for $99.00 to subscribe to this newsletter, which would also give you Paul’s ”unlisted phone number” so you can recieve fast breaking news. I wonder how many suckers sent him 99 bucks. LOL

And no column on this sleazebag would be complete without a discussion of Ron’s anti-semitic, neo-nazi pals. Did you know that this newsletter was listed as recommended reading in the directory of the Heritage Front, a neo-nazi hate group based in Canada? Or that his columns are repeatedly featured in the American Free Press, which is published by Hilter admirer and Holocaust denier Willis Carto. Ron Paul certainly knows his base, which is why he recently criticized conservative tea partier Michele Bachmann for hating muslims…. but yet has never condemned the anti semitic behavor of his dirtbag paulbot followers.

Paul is also known for his friendship with white supremist Don Black. In fact, the former KKK leader and founder of white hate group Stormfront donated 500 dollars to Paul’s campaign in 2008. And Paul refused to return the money despite the pleas of Jewish conservatives. Is it any wonder that conservative David Horowitz of the Freedom Center wrote an article in February titled ”Ron Paul Is A Vicious Anti-Semite and Anti-American and Conservatives Need To Wash Their Hands of Him”. Or that the Republican Jewish Coailition banned Paul from their recent debate because of his anti Israel agenda. In fact, they said inviting Paul to speak would be like ”inviting Obama to speak”. Ouch. Maybe Paul’s wacky opinion that condemning the Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli women and children would cause violence didn’t sit too well with them.

And the ”guilt by association” will be even worse for the tea party. I recently blogged an article here at REDSTATE showing that 93% of tea party members do NOT want Ron Paul as president. And also showing that Tea Party Fort Lauderdale, America’s longest running tea party, overwhelmingly voted nutjob Paul as the Republican candidate they LEAST wanted to see win the presidency.

But despite Paul’s rejection by the tea party, the press is undoubtedly going to try to tie this loon into the tea party in order to discredit it. The liberal press has wrongly and unfairly been trying to paint the tea party as racist. To no avail. Until now. And then they hit the ”mother lode”. A genuine racist with a documented paper trail of inappropriate comments and a busload of looney racist and anti semitic supporters. Hopefully tea party leaders will quickly denounce and ostracise this nutcase because real tea partiers are completely colorblind and would NEVER EVER condone these type of beliefs and comments. And this issue is NOT going away.

And of course his followers are the dirtbags of society. Conspiracy loons, racists, anti war leftists, and anti semites. That is why most sites, including this one, have policies banning paulbots. I say they are a cancer to the both the tea party and the Republican party, and that we should treat them like lepers and shun them.

Please, not today, not now.
Save the politics for the 26th.
I admire in a way your determined exposure of RP.
You make an excellent tribble.

But it is Christmass eve, and lets leave politics aside.
Post a favorite youtube vid of something Christmassy instead.

Have a Merry Christmass to you and yours, and may God bless.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.
Erick Brockway

Ok folks, 2012 is here. Get involved

He’s old.

He ain’t handsome.

He doesn’t got what it takes to be THE MAN.

Mitt Romney is the man. Square jaw.

Muscular.

Experienced.

Amazing man.
