so simple, so easy....why didn't anyone think of it before. I tell you, that Ron Paul is a freaking genius.
oh...wait....Congress won't do any of that stuff, and Paul couldn't do it. well, never mind. Then they'd better be prepared to override his veto every time while their offices are crammed with constituents demanding to know why they're not realistically cutting spending.

Just one question Bob, do you think Romney is stronger on the 2nd than Paul? Yes or no will suffice.

That would be relatively easy.
The bigger question would be Paul's ability to keep Congress from teaching Paul a lesson as far as his need for Congressional approval and funding for his own pet projects. Sooner or later,hard way or not,you gents will begin to understand how the branches must work together to move forward. Paul's so called bully pulpit would be lost on a GOP House and Senate.

Because there is no constituency outside the Paulist fever swamps for a demolition of the federal government and dismantling the military.
And not within the "Paulist fever swamp" either.

But,as I said,no president,dem or GOP will undo the 2A progress we've made thus far with a GOP led House and Senate. Hell,they can't even do it now. Guns are greatly important to our members here. In the outside of the 24HC world,85% of the country is most worried about the economy and jobs. I don't even believe the 2A is in the top 5. More evidence of folks not being overly worried about it outside the confines of this forum and similar others. A Bill is being submitted in Va this week to rid the conceal carry permit requirement and we vote on Sunday hunting tomorrow. We're going to be just fine in Va with our now GOP controlled legislature.

How does he cut $1 trillion in 1 year? How is that possible? The same way it's possible to raise spending by over a trillion in one year. Bingo. Not complicated. Only requires the will.

Well,I'm thinking now that your admitting Paul's main campaign promise is a hoax,let's talk about your next candidate. I mean we now have Paul flip-flopping with a clear 180 on immigration,earmarks (Numero-Uno) and now his BS trillion dollar cut campaign promise.
How long can you guys continue to discuss the fiscal lies of others with a straight face? So Paul is a bigger flip flopper than Romney? You voting for Romney over Paul...cause of Paul's flip flopping of the 2nd amendment and Romney's staunch support against it? You're my hero, TBaker.

Your naivety is rather remarkable for a educated adult. Is it a act or do you really think cutting is just as easy as spending?

Paul did a damned good job there. He should quit the debates and just keep appearing in one on one TV interviews where he really has the time to explain his positions. The debates are a joke.

Nevermind...I know how .gov will vote and Romney will go along with...saw it my whole life.

I wish one would just say... you f with the US we nuke your azz...that would be my stance
There's a delusional strategy if I ever heard one, no option but the nuclear option. Perfect..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

You must be kidding,right? I'd caution you to be very careful as to commenting on anyone's reading comprehension skills.

Damn, I was told different. So, these three years that my cache of guns have been sitting on the front porch, just rusting and waiting to be picked up by O's crew has been for naught?

List why you are voting for Romney. Hoping you have a better reason than electability. I try to do it without cutting commentary...not good at not doing it...but do try on ocassion.
