30 Years of Consistency

Clear Issues

Ron Paul is a true Statesman

A statesman is a politician with a long and respected career in national level politics. Ron Paul first served in congress in 1976 and now has over 30 years of political experience.

Ron Paul is also a “Man of the States”

Because he wants to restore the power of the states. The founding fathers designed this political hierarchy to keep the Federal branch from getting absolute power. Even before Ronald Regan gave his famous State’s Rights Speech in 1980, Ron Paul was actively working to cut federal funding and agencies to accomplish as Regan put it, “restore to states and local governments the power that properly belongs to them.” Ron Paul also argues that the states can handle many local issues better and much cheaper than the Federal government can.

Ron Paul is Consistent

Actually, he is arguably the be most consistent man in Washington and holds the cleanest voting record that proves he has fighting these issues for his whole career without flip-flopping. Some of the other candidates have already flopped around many times just in their short careers.

More Diplomacy in Foreign Policy

Instead of bombs, invasions and lengthy occupations, Ron Paul wants to use our 12,000 registered diplomats to maintain relationships with foreign countries. In addition he wants to close more than 90% of our 130 overseas military bases and spend that money on the military defense of our own nation.

Ron Paul Hates Nation Building

He has been very outspoken about America’s involvement in secret operations to overthrow foreign governments but also against invading and/or occupying other nations without just cause and a congressional approval. He says things like, “Don’t do anything to other nations that we wouldn’t want them to do to us” and “We are not the world police”. The other candidates have ALL publicly announced that they will take action against Iran if voted into office!

Ron Paul is an Astute Economist

Studying American economics since the early 1960s, he became good friends of Hans Sennholz and Murray Rothbard, Austrian school economists. In 1971 when Nixion removed the Gold Standard Ron Paul was quoted saying, “After that day, all money would be political money rather than money of real value. I was astounded.” Moreover, as early as 2001 he campaigned against the mechanisms that caused the real estate bubble. Here’s the footage below…

Ron Paul Wants to Audit the Fed

He’s not just saying this to get good publicity, in fact he’s been saying it for years. The Federal Reserve is a sham. Its not a government agency. Instead, its a private bank with a misleading name just like Fedex. This bank prints our money and sells it to the government at a rate of interest. They have been manipulating our currency and always seem to come out ahead. Kinda like how the house always wins at a casino. The Fed is said to have profited as much as 30 Trillion dollars since its conception yet they have never been audited. The government should manage our central banking not these guys and in doing so it will be managed in a very transparent manor. We just learned that the Fed transferred 7.7 TRILLION dollars to Wall Street banks! Here’s the footage of the announcement.

Ron Paul is a Constitutionalists

He strongly believes in the preservation of United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The founding fathers foresaw and warned us about many of the political injustices that we face today. His favorite answer seems to be, “follow the Constitution and we wouldn’t have this problem in the first place.”

I’ll be adding the reasons daily but if you want to help please feel free to include your reasons in the comments below and I’ll even welcome any reasons why he should NOT be elected. That is, if you can think of any.
