You have to hand it to Ron Paul. He knows what they are up to. He is on Bernanke's case. "At the same time the G20 was meeting, we also had the central banks meeting in Europe. Bernanke was over there, and they are doing the same type of planning, so real planning will not be out in the open, until they want us to know about it."There's more good stuff here. It's really going to be wake-up time fo
Ron Paul is maintaining the good work in keeping tabs on various characters, Ben Bernanke being one of them. Here's Ron Paul's latest message (which I've just seen!).I like this piece - "An essential element of a healthy free market, is that both success and failure must be permitted to happen when they are earned. But instead with a bailout, the rewards are reversed – the proceeds from success

Dear Mr. President-Elect Obama,
One thing you should highly consider is asking the Hon. Ron Paul to be your Secretary of the Treasury. At times like these, where the operating economic framework has been soundly disproven, we need the insight of those who are AWARE of critical understandings to be in positions of leadership and [...]

I received an e-mail late last night from the Ron Paul re-election committee (which now controls the leftovers from his Presidential fundraising) with the following message:As Americans head to the polls for this historic election, I want to ask for your support for a fellow supporter of Liberty, Representative Scott Garrett.I need my friend Scott Garrett in Congress with me to vote against big go
This video addresses the difference between a non-interventionist view and isolationist policies.

The Issue: Ron Paul, former Republican candidate for President and Texas Congressman has endorsed Tom McClintock for Congress in California’s 4th Congressional District. In addition, Paul has asked his base to support McClintock’s campaign financially.

Representative Ron Paul is famous for supporting deregulation across the board on every industry. Some people who look at the current financial crisis see deregulation as one of the main causes - allowing banks and financial service companies to merge and offer the same products. Ron Paul doesn't see that, instead he sees federal regulation of the financial industry as the main culprit, like the G
So George Bush's grand ideas of splashing money around have come to nought. The House voted it down. Ron Paul is right.

Where does Ben Benanke get this $700 billion from? Ron Paul thinks he's creating credit out of thin air. Nobody has said where this money is coming from. George Bush calls the whole plan "a sucker", Henry Paulson gets down on bended knee to plead for the plan to go through Congress after a shouting match in the White House. However, nobody tells us where this money is coming from.The Federal Reser
Over much of the Republican primary contest, Ron Paul was sidelined and virtually ignored by the media that was busily sticking its head further into the sand. Sand blown in by the spivs and speculators, no doubt.I came to see that Ron Paul spoke for people like me. Naturally conservative, but not hidebound. Libertarian to a degree, but not zealously so. I reckon there are plenty of people like th
Ron Paul, the pied piper beloved of the children, after enchanting them with refreshing glimpses of libertarian truth, and being rewarded with new found respect, admiration and coin, has now returned to lead his little charges into the putrid waters of Chuck Baldwin, where they will drown into unimportance and irrelevance (although I am aware, in the words of one Paultard, who was recently cha
Allow me to begin with a statement of fact: Rep. Ron Paul is not a libertarian. He is a registered Libertarian, an aspect of his political career rendered moot by his policy stances. I could join the Justice League, complete with membership card, but that won't make me a superhero. Merit alone determines credibility. While I stop short of endorsing any libertarian purity test, if Rep. Paul is
Ron Paul, a Republican Congressman from Texas and former candidate for the presidency opposes the Bailout Program currently under discussion in Congress.

Ron Paul has decided that neither McCain or Obama are going to cut the mustard when it comes to changing things. Instead, he endorsed the presidential candidates for all (somewhat reasonable in size) third parties.

I wrote just a couple of posts ago that George Bush got drunk. I'm still figuring out what his intoxication is exactly. As far a counting the pennies he's botched that one up big time. He entered the White House with a budget surplus and is due to pass on to his successor a deficit of $482 billion. Let's round it up to $500 to be on the safe side. This is a staggering amount. It is more than a $10
Ron Paul discusses the bailout out of the housing industry, and how it really just destroys the dollar and adds enormously to the debt. Also quietly slipped into the bill was the stipulation that ALL credit card transactions must now be reported to the IRS.

Ron Paul's approach to politics is fairly simple. Keep to the message, be friendly to your opponents, and believe in the Constitution.

In a possible surprise GOP rule switch in Utah, things could get interesting in the Republican race. State convention might release Romney delegates from voting for Mitt.

As they have done in Nevada, Minnesota and elsewhere, a number of Utah Ron Paul backers are trying to get elected today as delegates to the Republican National Convention where, under a proposed rule change, they could be free to vote for whomever they want.I get the impression most city slickers, TV pundits and politico pollsters haven't bothered to follow the Republican race in detail, so these things are not publicised to any great extent.

Ron Paul has yet to endorse John McCain for the Republican nomination but over the weekend gave his input on the candidates. Paul was a Republican candidate for president and stayed in the race until John McCain had the number of delegates he needed to seal up the nomination. Paul was asked during debates if he would endorse the Republican candidate no matter who it was. Paul declined to do so on every opportunity. Ron Paul favors Barack Obama’s foreign policy, “But that doesn’t mean that’s an endorsement,” Paul quickly added. Obama’s foreign policy of opening relations with countries that the Bush administration has been “punishing” by cutting ties with is a large aspect of Obama’s popularity. Obama wants to end the war in Iraq and bring our tr
