Comments on: Ron Paul: Inflation and War Finance http://www.ernharth.com/vi/2007/01/30/ron-paul-inflation-and-war-finance/ Don't Be a Fall Guy Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:12:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Gordo http://www.ernharth.com/vi/2007/01/30/ron-paul-inflation-and-war-finance/#comment-24288 Gordo Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:35:02 +0000 http://www.ernharth.com/2007/01/30/ron-paul-inflation-and-war-finance/#comment-24288 I kind of hate politics in general, but the vigilant investor show indirectly helped me discover congressman Ron Paul, who is now exploring the possibility of running for president. The indirect link for how I first heart of Dr. Paul was via the Griffin interview which led me to another Griffin interview: http://www.financialsense.com/transcriptions/2006/1018griffin.html In it he mentions a documentary (Fiat Empire) about the Federal Reserve that is available for free on the net: http://www.mecfilms.com/fiat/ Anyway, congressman Ron Paul appears in that documentary, and I thought "WOW - you mean there is actually a politician out there that really GETS IT?" So I did some more research about Ron Paul, and the more I read about him, and his actual speeches - the more I REALLY like this guy. For example here is a transcript of him challenging Greenspan in person (http://dailypaul.com/node/8 ) and there are lots of other links to his speeches on that same site. He is also the ONLY fiscally conservative politician I know of, and as you know we have not had a fiscally conservative president in probably over 100 years. This guy is serious about smaller government, adhering to the constitution, free trade, and cutting off government waste. Some call him the "non-crazy Ross Perot". Anyway - long story short - I think we (by we I mean anyone who actually cares about this country and the direction we are headed especially as it relates to the destruction of the dollar) need to be out there doing everything we can to ensure Dr. Paul not only gets INTO the primaries, but wins them. If this is going to happen its ONLY going to happen at a grass roots level. We need to get the word out in a major way, and we need to start acting immediately. I've been doing what I can recently to get the word out and hope you will join me in doing whatever you can! I wholeheartedly believe in the power of the internet and this could be the first presidential campaign where that really makes a difference. I also believe that if Ron Paul wins the primary he will win the presidency because I know Independents, Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians that will vote for him and this country is NOT going to be better off with Hillary or McCain! Please seriously consider what you can do as I think it is critically important. Thanks for your site and keep up the good work. -Gordo I kind of hate politics in general, but the vigilant investor show indirectly helped me discover congressman Ron Paul, who is now exploring the possibility of running for president.
