I'd love to see Paul topple them all. He stands for great liberations.

[Blastus]

He is crazy, he wants to make gold and silver the only forms of legal tender.

No that is false

 

[SylviaB]

Of course he could never make it happen, that's why he's nuts. You don't call someone nuts for making practical proposals.

you can't do anything radical in politcs

Check this out:

Iowa is known for it's votes tampering. I wouldn't be surprised if Ron Paul actually won lol.

Gringrich is surging in the polls because in the South Carolina debate, he said poor black kids should learn the value of work by being janitors... He got a standing ovation. lol. Moments like this makes me realise how ignorant people can be.

 

[alstah]

Newt Gingrich isn't even on the ballot for his home state of Virginia lol. A big southern state he has the potential to win and if he votes in this primary election it must be for either Ron Paul or Mitt Romney.

Getting rid of fiat currency isn't radical it's just dumb. What's Ron Paul's approach to the greatest moral challenge of our time?

why do you think its dumb, exactly

and how is it not radical

 

[Lentern]

It's hard to say something radical when the motivation behind it is an attempt to adhere to the constitution, however poorly interpreted. It's dumb because it wouldn't actually doing anything purposeful.

He's not surging anymore he's flailing now. I wrote that ages ago.

I think it was you Brett that linked to some article about how Gaddafi was attempting to establish a gold standard in some of the African countries as a means to get a stronger bargaining position against the West. The reason why I bring this up is (and anyone can answer for me), if a gold standard is introduced, wouldn't that make America fundamentally weaker in terms of currency? I'm no where near as well versed in economics as I need to be to judge whether a gold standard or not would be good (although I understand the arguments for it and against fiat currency), but why would America weaken itself?

 

[cheezcake]

Perry dropped out, giving support to Gingrich

 

[funkshen]

but why would America weaken itself?

you mean like having a great financial crisis instead? america will weaken itself WHEN IT DAMN WELL WANTS YOU ESSAY, YOU ESSAY

 

[cheezcake]

lolwtf is the average iq of South Carolina like 70 or something? What the audience applauds in this debate is ridiculous.

Edit: k quick internet search reveals South Carolina has the lowest average iq in the USA, tied with Mississippi

Yes but they have some sort of chance to regain their former glory if they reign in their spending and fix up their debt and blah blah blah. Wouldn't a gold standard weaken them to a point that they can't control?
