Voting Republican!

[divine]

For the first time in 20 years (since I've been able to vote) I will be voting Republican in Maryland Primary. I am currently registered non-affiliated, but will be changing my party to Republican for the sole purpose of votingin the Maryland Primary.

Barack Obama lost my vote when he said that he will not bring home all US troops by 2013. That is totally unacceptable, in my book. Hilary Clinton said the same thing. No way in hell will I vote for a candidate who will continue the legacy of George W. Bush.

I have decided that RON PAUL deserves my vote. He is the last man standing!

RON PAUL 2008!

 

[Complex]

In general black people are too caught up in voting Democrat. I feel we are taken for granted as a people. It's why I voted for Ralph Nader. Ron Paul has brought forth some interesting ideas. It's why he'd raised so much money in the past couple of months. Hillary and Obama aren't radical enough for me, and sound too much like typical politicians.

congrats on throwing your vote away. no way paul wins the repub nomination.

The principles of the Republican platfrom make the most sense to me... but nationally that party hasn't followed its platform since Eisenhower. Both the Democrats and Republicans have been thoroughly corrupted by industrial interests. Locally its a different story.

Because of this, in the nationally it makes no difference who is in power Dem or Rep... Just that Dems are more competent at day to day domestic governing while Reps I think it just comes down to the quality of the candit than the party

I don't vote based on who may or may not win. I vote based on which candidate has the best and strongest ideas. I've thrown my vote away too many times (i.e. on Clinton, Gore, Kerry) and I refused to do it again.

America is so dumbed down (people thinking just like you), its the reason why we always get fucked up presidents...

If you want to vote for someone who is really antiwar then why not vote for Kucinich or Edwards or even Bill Richardson? All three have stated that they will withdraw all troops.
And Ron Paul is not a very ideal candidate, hes a pretty honest politician but hes too extreme of a libertarian to be president, his views on Iraq are are somewhat parallel to democrats but thats only because he doesn't believe in any kind of military intervention at all, which seems like a good thing when you look at iraq. But think about places like darfur and Burma, places where we could actually do good and where the people actually do want help. But Paul is still a very honest politician though which is refreshing nowdays so i still respect him a lot, i just would never in a million years vote for him.

First of all Obama did not say he would not bring all U.S. troops home by 2013.
What he said was he could not promise, which is about all he could say since he nor anybody else knows at this time what the situation will be that far into the future.
He further said he would redeploy combat troops from Iraq if elected, which accomplishes the same thing. So you go ahead and vote for Ron Paul whose strict interpretation constitution would not bode well for people of color if he were to be elected -- which he won't.

There are more issues that should decide your vote besides Iraq. As bad Democrats are, Republicans are far worse. Personally I think the only real hope for meaningful change rests with the emergence of a third major party whose members will vote the will of the people rather than corporations. But until that happens, rather than vote for a Republican perhaps you should take a closer look at Edwards who in my estimation would be less status quo than either Clinton or Obama.

yea and that is unacceptable.

So you go ahead and vote for Ron Paul whose strict interpretation constitution would not bode well for people of color if he were to be elected -- which he won't.

I will. And give and example of why a candidate who is a strict constitutionalist will not bode well for people of color?

There are more issues that should decide your vote besides Iraq.

according to who? For me, that is issue #1 and if the candidate don't pass that test, they can't move to the next round, for me..

perhaps you should take a closer look at Edwards who in my estimation would be less status quo than either Clinton or Obama.

I did, and if he wins the Democratic nod, he is my second choice behind RON PAUL.

yea, I asked him to give an example as well.... still waiting..............................................................

 

[audio syndicate]

my sole problem with ron paul is...he is heavy on the constitution, which was written for white men...not written for all..

it doesn't take into account some of the issues minorities face everyday.

also, he hasn't addressed any minority forums, black or hispanic

and finally he sees ronald reagan as a God..when he was one of the WORSE presidents of our time....

but with all that, he's still definately one to consider

Mr Divine... while I may not agree with your choice, I applaud you for making a "conscientious" decision.

Newsletter by Paul attacked

Associated Press

329 words

24 May 1996

San Antonio Express-News English

(Copyright 1996)

A 1992 newsletter by Republican congressional candidate Ron Paul highlighted portrayals of blacks as criminally inclined and lacking sense about top political issues.

Reporting on gang crime in Los Angeles, Paul commented: "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."

Paul, a Surfside obstetrician who won the GOP nomination in the 14th District runoff by defeating incumbent Rep. Greg Laughlin, said Wednesday he opposed racism.

He said his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time."

Paul's Democratic opponent, Charles "Lefty" Morris, said many of Paul's views were "out there on the fringe" and that this fall voters would judge his commentaries.

Morris' campaign distributed selected writings by Paul this week.

Paul, a former congressman and one-time Libertarian presidential nominee, said allegations about his writings amounted to name-calling by the Democrats.

He said he'd produced the newsletter since 1985 and distributes it to an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 subscribers.

Writing in his independent political newsletter in 1992, Paul commented about black men in the nation's capital.

Citing statistics from a 1992 study produced by the National Center on Incarceration and Alternatives, a criminal justice think tank based in Virginia, Paul concluded in his column:

"Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

"These aren't my figures," Paul said this week. "That is the assumption you can gather from" the report.

He also wrote: "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action."

Paul continued that politically sensible blacks are outnumbered "as decent people."....

Still want to vote for Ron Paul??

RON PAUL deserves a serious hard look.

don't be fooled by Hilary Clinton<---(queen jezebel) or Barack Obama.

Republican + Democrats = S.O.S.

 

[Dr. Truth]

You niggas are pathetic. Ron Paul? Whats next Pat Buchanan?

 

[Mad Genius]

You niggas are pathetic. Ron Paul? Whats next Pat Buchanan?

Exactly. Admittedly, I like alot of Ron Paul's ideas, especially getting of the IRS and stuff like that. But dude is a hardcore racist. He's the worse kind, because you don't see it coming. He's probably rarely used the word n*gger. At least with the overt racists, you know exactly what their all about.

I posted on this a few months ago. I do not trust this bastard.

 

[El Capi-tan]

Well I will be voting for the first time and of course I am voting democrat (Obama).

However, you guys need to check this shit out.

After 9/11 and the Loose Change Video, I have no reasons to ever trust the government ever again. Do you guys really think that your votes decides who becomes the next president? LOL, some people are still wondering how the fuck George W. Bush became president?

Tell me how does President Hillary Clinton sound?

Give him a freaking cookie. Do you want justification for your vote. Are you a one issue man. I will bring the troops home and then resegragate the country. At least the troops will be home. No one running has a view on all of the intel from over there. They will get in office and figure out that the war can't end because they are training peolpe to attack this country. A person running for office is about as informed about the war as you are. Look at the canidate that will put food on your table and level the playing field. The war will continue regardless of who is in charge. Believe that.

 

[Vagina Feaster]

How is ron paul a racist?

And secondly, John Edwards needs to be nominated for the dems. Hillary ain't cuttin' it, and Obama ain't much different.

 

[Profit]

You Ron Paul voter's ARE taking more into consideration than just the war, RIGHT? You took a peek at his domestic policies too, right?

Ron Paul does not want the govt to help citizens, i.e. health care, welfare, and just about any other program poor folks might need to get on their feet. His anti-war agenda makes him a one trick pony in my book.

 

[Paul1970]

How is ron paul a racist?

Ron Paul, writing in his independent political newsletter in 1992, reported about unspecified surveys of blacks.

“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action,”Paul wrote.

Paul continued that politically sensible blacks are outnumbered “as decent people.” Citing reports that 85 percent of all black men in the District of Columbia are arrested, Paul wrote:

“Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,” Paul said.

Paul also wrote that although “we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”

Writing in the same 1992 edition, Paul expressed the popular idea that government should lower the age at which accused juvenile criminals can be prosecuted as adults.

He added, “We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.”

Voting Rights Act of 1965
In 2006, Paul joined 32 other members of Congress in opposing the renewal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, originally passed to remove barriers to voting participation for minorities

Civil Rights Act of 1964...Paul wrote of his opposition to the Act:

"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society. Federal bureaucrats and judges cannot read minds to see if actions are motivated by racism. Therefore, the only way the federal government could ensure an employer was not violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that the racial composition of a business's workforce matched the racial composition of a bureaucrat or judge's defined body of potential employees. Thus, bureaucrats began forcing employers to hire by racial quota. Racial quotas have not contributed to racial harmony or advanced the goal of a color-blind society. Instead, these quotas encouraged racial balkanization, and fostered racial strife."[173]

Maybe you should save your vote for David Duke.

And you actually think Politicians keep their promises? If the Troops is the biggest thing you can think of as a Black Man in America then you are throwing your vote away.

 

[bizzyboddy]

Does anybody have a vid of Ron paul in the debates at howard? i can't find the video anywhere.

I'd be suprised if all the shit he said about blacks wasn't raised during that debate.

Vote with your conscious bro. There are already enough sheep out there.

Its the number one issue for me. I also agree with abou t80% of is other ideas. The most I've ever agreed with of any candidate, ever.

I will bring the troops home and then resegragate the country.

If you promise to do this I will vote for you as a write-in candidate.
Black people did their absolute BEST during segregation...

Careful with that decision. What your saying is you would vote to put another racist into the white house, because that is exactly what Rudy is. Black people caught hell when he became mayor of NYC. Many social services to benefit the poor disappeared. He took 42nd St. ruined NYC's blue light district and turned it into Disneyland.

If Rudy gets the nomination then I would rethink this decision. It amounts to more of what were presently dealing with but worse because Rudy is smart. He's no Bush and to me that makes him more dangerous.

As for the troops coming home not one of those running for president will be bringing the troops home until the US establishes a permanent presence within the region. The US has one concern, OIL. Its not Al qaeda and its not Bin Laden.

Don't take the bait y'all. We've seen how republicans have been doing business the last 8 years.

Yeah I understood that but why would you vote republican in a primary then (possibly) change parties in the national election? I just don't see Ron Paul as a serious option. Number one he lacks the funding to make a serious bid.

 

[ronmch20]

yea, I asked him to give an example as well.... still waiting..............................................................

By now you should have read the other posts concerning Ron Paul, especially the one from Paul1970. They contain all the examples of why Ron Paul would not be good for people of color you should need.
