2012 Election Game: Campaign Thread

[MadmanMotley]

Ron Paul Campaign Schedule: October 3-9

Debate Question:



I have been a strong critic of the Federal Reserve, and the people are waking up to the danger of a central banking system. Over the past 100 years of the Federal Reserve, our currency has only lost value. Anyone who agrees with a free market should believe in eliminating the Federal Reserve. We must  enable America to return to the type of monetary system envisioned by our Nation's founders: one where the value of money is consistent because it is tied to a commodity such as gold. When you look at the price of gold next to oil, the prices have stayed consistent. The problem is an unaudited bank, causing artificially low interest rates, high inflation and manipulation of currency. We must END THE FED!

Ron Paul, the man of consistency, the man who has never backed down from the real issues. Ron Paul has been serving in the congress to protect your rights, ALL of your rights. Your Constitutional rights, Ron Paul won't back down, and never has. Ron Paul is principled, consistent, and unyielding in defending your rights. He has never once voted for a tax increase, never once voted for a debt ceiling increase. Ron Paul: Principled, Consistent, and a true defender of Liberty.
I'm Ron Paul and I approve this message

[MadmanMotley]

Ron Paul debate answer:
When it comes to China, we should open up the markets and let the markets decide what goes in and out of China. However, we should no longer give tax breaks to companies that send jobs overseas. We should also work here at home to bring our economy back so that we no longer have to be in debt to China. The Chinese currently holds much of our debt, and treasury notes. If they ever call on us to pay back those debts, we will be in big trouble if the economy keeps going the way it is.

Ron Paul Debate Answer:
The Federal Government should not be in the business of healthcare. It is not allowed for in the Constitution. If the states want to have it that's their right, but it's not for the federal government. When I started out in the medical field, we didn't have any government assistance programs. I worked at a Catholic hospital, and guess what? No one was EVER turned away! Once the government got involved in medicine, the costs went up and the availability went down. More Government is not the answer.

Ron Paul Debate Answer:
How would I deal with Israel and Palestine? I would let them deal with each other! It is no business of ours to challenge the sovereignty of Israel! Netanyahu has come before congress and said that we don't need to build up Israel! They are doing great, without our help! We should stop giving all these countries around the world foreign aid! Our people are struggling her at home, while we give money to countries that are our enemies, or do not need foreign aid! We cannot afford to be giving out money to every country that asks! That's Welfare! Something Republicans are normally against! So we should protect the wishes of Israel, let them be and deal with their own problems, while we deal with ours.

Ron Paul debate answer:
When it comes to the debt, the answer is downsizing the government and actually cutting spending, not cutting future increases in spending. That is one big problem, BASELINE BUDGETING. These cuts in Washington aren't really cuts. The answer is not to raise taxes, but cutting departments, cutting entitlement spending, and excessive and wasteful military spending. We have such partisanship in Washington, the democrats say you can't cut a penny of entitlement spending, and republicans say you can't cut any military spending! We need to be smart with our money. In my plan you can see on my website, I will cut 1 TRILLION dollars each year I am in office. We are on a bankruptcy course, and we can't continue the way we are going.

Debate Response:
In my experience as a doctor, it is of my opinion that life begins at conception and that all life is sacred. The problem is the federal government has gotten too involved in medicine and the Supreme Court over stepped it's bounds with Roe Vs Wade. Abortion laws should be left up to the states, just like all other violent crimes.

Free trade and lower taxes, less government and no more political games. He's got the record to prove it. Vote for Ron Paul, never voted for a tax increase, never voted to raise the debt ceiling.

[MadmanMotley]

Ron Paul Campaign Statement:

The Ron Paul campaign is appalled by the constant negative ads run by our opponents, and find it disgraceful to the electoral process. Instead of attacking others, take a honorable stand and promote your own record, and if you can not promote your own record, then perhaps you should not be in this race at all. The Ron Paul campaign stands by less government and Ron Paul has never voted for a tax hike, and if that is the man you want, Ron Paul is your Man. A man of principle who stands by his record.

Debate Answer:
Absolutely not! Here we are broke and on a bankruptcy course, and what do we want to do? Print more money! Spend more money! The best thing we can do for the EU is become fiscally responsible ourselves, get out of debt and bring the economy back before we can even think of sending any money anywhere!

[MadmanMotley]

TV and Radio ad to run in Iowa and NH:
Ron Paul: The man with a plan, a plan to restore America now. To cut a trillion dollars each year, end the federal reserve, and eliminate the IRS. Want to be sure? Look at his record: Never voted for spending or tax increase, always voted with the constitution, even when it wasn't popular among congress. Ron Paul doesn't play political games, Ron Paul follows the rules, The constitution. Ron Paul: The man with integrity, the man with a plan.

[MadmanMotley]

Ron Paul Debate Answer:
I am firmly against affirmative action, it doesn't promote individual motivation, it puts people in to groups based on where they come from, or what they look like. That sounds more discriminatory than what we had before! We need to eliminate affirmative action programs, what matters is each individual, not groups of people. You hire the person best suited for the job, not because of their race, but because of what they have accomplished, rather than filling a quota that is required by the government. This only hurts businesses, and qualified people looking for a job, or education.

Ron Paul (Ventura Surrogate)
At a rally in Montana:

"In a town hall recently you heard the Vice-President say these words:"

You must be logged in to read this quote.

"Well Mr. Biden, what has your administration been doing all this time? You've had time to do this, Obama said he'd bring the troops home within nine months! You had a democratic congress for two years of your term, and now you're asking to do it again? Fool the American people once Mr. Biden, shame on you, the people don't want empty promises anymore. We just marched in, we can just march out, so do it if you're serious Mr. President! Ventura is the man who WILL bring the troops home, He's the only candidate with military experience. Ventura is the one who will end this pointless war on drugs, which the Obama Administration has only propped up! Obama didn't follow through with his promises, it's time we take America back from these lying, deceptive politicians! Gov. Ventura is the only man who will restore America! It's time for a REVOLUTION! (Cheers)

[MadmanMotley]

Ron Paul (Ventura Surrogate) Response to President Obama's Address:

Speech in Nevada:
"This evening you heard the President speak on how he wants to help the American people, and how he is promoting the Stimulus bill, and how he wants you to call your congressmen and senators to vote for this "American Jobs Act" just more endless spending. The president in 2008 promised lower deficits and a restored American economy. But I ask where is this restored American economy? Where are the lower deficits? Deficits have only increased during this administration! The economy is barely better than it was 4 years ago! These failed Keynesian economic policies that got us in to this mess have only continued under this administration! Now the president wishes to spend even more money, where will that money come from? We keep borrowing money and printing money, and we wonder why the economy has gotten worse? Prices of goods have skyrocketed! It's the endless printing of money!

(Holds up $1 dollar bill) This piece of paper has value only if you believe the government telling you it has value. (Holds up silver dollar) This dollar is backed by something! It's not the prices going up on goods! It's the dollar losing value! If you look at the price of Oil next to Silver or Gold, prices have remained consistent! We need to end the federal reserve printing all this money! Inflation is going up and wages remain the same! We need a consistent, solid monetary policy to bring the economy back! We need to end the Fed! (Cheers) We must get our finances in order before we go bankrupt! We need an economy where businesses and people can thrive!  I ask the those going to caucus here in Nevada for either party vote for me to show the establishment we mean business! Vote for myself in the Caucus, and then vote Ventura in November! (Massive applause and cheers)
