He has already said he would leave those decisions to the states if it were up to him... but you're right. He would need congressional approval to do many of the things he wants to do. In any case, he is the best choice IMO.... Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!

Here's the kind of stuff the Paul Spammer's don't tell you:
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been spending large amounts on airfare as a congressman, flying first class on dozens of taxpayer-funded flights to his home state. The practice conflicts with the image that Paul portrays as the only presidential candidate serious about cutting federal spending. Paul flew first class on at least 31 round-trip flights and 12 one-way flights since May 2009 when he was traveling between Washington and his district in Texas, according to a review by The Associated Press of his congressional office expenses. Four other round-trip tickets and two other one-way tickets purchased during the period were eligible for upgrades to first-class after they were bought, but those upgrades would not be documented in the expense records
Yeah Ron Paul a real cost cutter

I respect dr paul backers its an uphill battle they have to know they wont win but yet they still fight until the end... Good for you guysComment -
I read that this morning, maybe not the same source. But same info. Paul's a rich man, very rich. Why no just buy the tickets himself? His son recently sent back 50k to the treasury by cutting costs in his own office (wonder what the back story is there?) These people are politicians to think they're not playing the political game, or rather convincing people they're totally different then other politicians is they're greatest skill.Here's the kind of stuff the Paul Spammer's don't tell you:

OK let's see....... Mitt Romney is a corporate raider who destroyed companies and ruined thousands of lives in the process in the name of profit. On top of being a lying, flip-flopping socialist.Here's the kind of stuff the Paul Spammer's don't tell you:

Newt Gingrich had 84 ethics violations charged against him during his time as speaker of the house. He's been involved in one scandal after another.
Rick Santorum is a racist warmonger who would have us at war with the entire muslim world if he ever got elected. In addition to being a big-spending neocon.
Yet, the best anti-Paul opponents can come up with is.....
Ron Paul flies first class.

I think it shows he's just like the rest of them. He's all for liberty and personal choice... except when he isn't like when it comes to a woman's right to choose. He's all for spending less of the tax payers money... except when he isn't... like when he want to fly 1st class. He's a strict constitutionalists.. except when he isn't. Or maybe he is and he thinks only white male land owners should be allowed the vote? A few newsletters adorned with his signature (along with a few video clips of him speaking about them floating around the "net") suggest maybe he thinks more that way then he's currently publicly stating.OK let's see.......

Persoanlly I have no problem if all of congress flies 1st class. These are the CEO's and CFO's of the country they need to fly back to their districts on a regular basis to inform their constituents and honestly they should be able to spend time with their families too.
In Paul I see a pattern of do as I say not as I do. Just like the rest of DC.Comment -
What If "They" Are Lying to Us about Ron Paul?

The Vid won't load for me. But wait.. you're saying people lie in politics? I for one am stunned. You should get the word out on that, people need to know.Comment -

He still only in 4th place in the SC polls. Romney and Santorium are picking up votes and Ron is steady at 12%... He's running out of time in that state and the next state, Florida, is completely out of his reach and it's loaded with delegates. Mr. Paul needs to start collecting delegates. I think Nevada and possible Maine could provide a few for him but he needs to start coming in 1st in a few of these winner take all states.
Above all he needs to kick a$$ in Texas. But the more I look at it even that may not be enough. The clock is ticking on him (and several other candidates) and he'd better stop taking 2 and 3 day breaks between states.Comment -
I havent been watching the news how is Paul doing?
Romney still in the lead?Comment -
In short...yes.Comment -

Just watched The O'Reilly Factor(haven't watched it in several months), not a regular or a fan.
Fox News commands the highest viewership of Cable News.
O'Reilly Factor is the prime time bread and butter of Fox News.
The sad thing is that Bill O'Reilly is sucking Mitt Romney off.
He makes Mitt Romney seem like the answer to everything.
O'Reilly is trying to kill Ron Paul.
Kind of sad.
Bashing Ron Paul and saying 'he's done.'Comment -
No sht Lil' Beaver? I've been stating this for months! They should be fined by some governing laws, for, outrageous, " unbalanced opinions and unfair," news!
Bill O has become intoxicated with his own success, which is built on hypocrisy, and because of his blatant, irresponsible views on Ron Paul!
Why doesn't Bill want Paul elected, or, what is it that scares the sht out of Bill O, about Paul?
Somehow, I smell money?
Comment -
You guys just don't get it do you? At least 50% of Mr. Paul's positions are directly in contrast with the GOP. Why would you even be surprised that GOP stalwarts such as Bill O would be working to keep him from being elected?Comment -
Because Ron Paul is by far the most conservative candidate running. The current GOP is a far cry from the traditional conservatism of Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater.
It's been hijacked by a bunch of neocon loons. Fanatics that want war, increase the size of government, increase taxes, destroy the Constitution, and spend us into oblivion.
It's not a conservative party anymore. It's been radicalized. That is why there is such a struggle within the GOP now. Real conservatives want their party back and the neocons are not letting go.
Comment -
A lot of what you're saying is very true. Some not so much. Paul's not really a true conservative he's more of a true libertarian. But you're right in that Reagan and Goldwater would have nothing to do with the current GOP. Reagan was a Dem for most of his life and changed parties to the GOP. When asked he stated, then used in many speeches- "I didn't leave my party, my party left me." For the record Reagan increased taxes in 82' and he also increased the size of the federal government. Goldwater lost so we'll never know what he'd have done with the office.
But, again, much of what you say is accurate. The sad fact is that's what the GOP has become. But it is the current GOP and they still don't like Paul (not real fond of Romney either but at least he's not Paul) and there's little chance he'll be their nominee after the convention in August.Comment -
Ron Paul is the most consistently conservative candidate running. Yes, he's a libertarian on some issues but there was a time when the GOP stood for the Constitution, spending cuts, less government, no new taxes, more personal freedom.
Mitt Romney is a liar and a fraud. He's for abortion, then against. He's for mandates, then against. He criticizes Obamacare and conveniently forgets it was based on Romneycare. Is he really criticizing himself then?
He must be a master magician because he's got all these folks fooled into believing he would be different from what we already have or had in the past. The truth is that he was a failure as governor of Massachusetts, and the people were going to kick him out.
So, he decided not to run again because he knew he was going to lose.

Yes the GOP has always been for personal freedoms. That's why they're pro-choice, have always been for the legalization of gambling, prostitution, recreational drug use, gay marriage etc...
Yeah, that sound like the GOP I've always known.
You are right they do campaign on lowering taxes yet somehow when they're in charge taxes, at least for the middle class, always seem to go up. Either taxes go up or the debt goes up... one or the other. Under every GOP POTUS since I've been voting (1979 for the record.)Comment -
