Congressman Ron Paul initially seemed like he had a huge reason to smile with his thousands of supporters, known to be mainly based on the world wide web, backing his every decision and following his every word.
However, more people are beginning to open their eyes to see the real Ron Paul as more and more unfolds with some almost ludicrous ideas that he proposes.
My personal opinion is that he’s almost grabbed his ’supporters’ on a leesh and hypnotized them in order to follow and agree with his every idea.
As a follower of politics and current affairs, I am interested in what many politicians and congressmen have to say and how they bring their ideas forward. Also, how these suggestions may benefit myself personally and my community, my whole country on the large scale.
Ron Paul may have won over a tonne of supporters by sweet-talking them but have these people really listened to what Ron Paul is all about?
Here is a list of seven facts that have been put together that show a completely different side to the Dr Paul we are all hearing about.
- Ron Paul believes in conspiracy theories.
- Ron Paul votes to protect constitutional rights of child predators instead of children rights.
- Ron Paul is a political opportunist.
- Ron Paul is a documented hypocrite.
- Ron Paul thinks we’d be safer without the CIA.
- He has said Iran has no military.
- Paul has voted against funding our troops while in combat.
Many will be interested in knowing whether these ‘facts’ have been spewed out and totally made up in order to ruin Ron Paul’s built reputation, in order to sabotage the support of his people.
Well I can can confirm that there is evidence, quotes, Youtube videos and more in order to support the seven statements made about Ron Paul above, all of which can be found here.
As ever, many people will disagree with the way in which I have presented Ron Paul and I do agree with them in that he obviously has some ideas that can be beneficial to the American way.
His ideas on health care and health insurance interest me and I am glad that he concerned of America’s health service because it is undoubtedly in desperate need of attention. In comparison to Europe’s health insurance and the sort, America is lagging behind and do indeed need to catch up as it really is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. More on Ron Paul concerning Healthcare, here.
However in my personal opinion, I truly believe that a man with the beliefs as mentioned above has no place in a US government.
“More inflation is, however, never the answer to inflation.”
The truth is that business involves risk, and businesses that miscalculate risk should be liquidated, so their assets can be reallocated to businesses that correctly judge risk and make profits.
“Instead, the Fed has injected $64 billion into the jittery markets, effectively amounting to a bailout that keeps these malinvestments afloat, but eventually they will become the undoing of our economy.” said Dr. Paul last month.
Ron Paul brings forth ideas concerning mortgages, businesses and loans insisting that those businesses that miscalculated risks should be liquidated leaving those that judge correctly to rake in the finance. Personally, I don’t think this is fair and thankfully the harsh reality that he sees isn’t existent.
Do you agree with me? Do you disagree with me? Let us know what you think of Dr. Paul.
Valid comments may even be featured in future posts.
Update:
Read Daniels View: it’s plain to see, the people and comments are voting Ron Paul

No, I do not agree with you. In fact, I do not think you know what you are talking about. Go to http://www.RonPaulLibrary.org to read up on Dr. Paul.
You seem to be socialist who believes that everyone should be responsible for everyone else.
Your position is understandable, it takes a lot of energy, reading and higher thinking to understand Ron Paul’s views. It starts with a good understanding of Austrian School of Economics, then an understanding of the motives of the thieves in Congress, and finally an understanding of the U.S. Constitution. Considering you spelled ton (tonne) I will assume that you are not American and do not know much about our history, our economics, or our politicians.
Ron Paul is the greatest thing to ever happen to the American people, if only they will learn about him. That is difficult given that the level of discourse concerns using youtube as a citation source. Ron Paul is the only hope to stop hyper-inflation, loss of liberties and freedom and the chance to live without Big Brother. But then our friends across the pond fought us over liberty at one point, it appears from this article that they are still at it.

I clicked on the link. Got a ‘website not found’ message.
Maybe you should recheck your sources and give Ron Paul another chance.
The problem with Ron Paul is he doesn’t want to NUKE Iran. Now Big Fred on the other hand will nuke them towel heads back to the 10th century. Fred relizes that we must kill all iranians, including there children, ( so they dont grow up and hate us). Only by wiping the irianian race off the planet can we protect our childrens furture. If we dont kill these people now, they will come over here and overthrow our country.
Obviously you are entitled to your opinion, and I cannot say you are ‘wrong’ with the claims you link to on the ronpaulexposed site. However all of the reasoning on that site is in MY opinion pretty weak, and some just down right silly.
Conspiracy theory? Hardly, I’d more say an assessment of what the man sees. I suppose you thought the WMD’s in Iraq wasn’t a conspiracy theory huh?
Votes? Not supporting those two bills are a far cry from what you and the site claim, any idiot should be able to see that, regardless of if you agree with it.
Opportunist? Um, if you mean taking the route he thinks will work and fully explaining why he is doing it, sure. However I’m sorry to say this, but he is conservative. Albeit on the far Libertarian side. Is this argument supposed to be against Paul or for him? Not sure…
Hypocrite? Haha, thats a good one. He’s for a term limit but won’t quit himself while there is no limit. That is weak. You just don’t want him in Congress, say it.
No CIA? I agree with this one, I do think it is a little naive, and I hope I hear a much more detailed explanation about what he means by this, or how he would gather intelligence.
Iran? Yeah and I could say North Korea has no friends, wouldn’t be technically correct, but effectively true.
No funding? Wasn’t the best thing to do with for the troops, but Bush has plenty of money already to protect our troops, and he has enough money to bring them home. I have the utmost respect for our troops, I don’t however have much for their commander and chief.
Paul still has my vote. And yes, I realize that my life, if some of his plans become reality quickly, my life will be a bit harder for a while, and thats something I’m willing to go through for not having the reality that seems to be fast approaching with our current direction.
You actually took time to write this crap? The worst part is I actually read it. Trash, through and through. It is almost like you are claiming to know something…but never get around to saying it. Big waste of time. reading and replying.
Ron Paul speaks sound, conservative values. He has my vote.
If I had more time to waste on your twisted writing, I would. However, I will leave one reply directed at your faux.
The government prosecutes conspiracies every day. Your point… is that you follow the brain washing of the bush babble about “conspiracy theories.” Sorry to inform you, history is full of real conspiracies… look into it. It would be a better use of your time than the twisted writing you post.
While I do not agree with all of Ron Paul’s stances on everything, and know several who do not. All of his statements have proven to be based in fact despite what the other candidates try to make out and many of theirs have been shown to be faulty. My opinion is that NO president can do all that he wishes to do. We have the Congress to ensure this. The saddest part is that many, if not most, of the Congress we have now is ineffectial and do not care to do their job well as long as they can garner political clout and a pat on the back from the hierarchy. If you want the best combination, vote Ron Paul and then elect Congressmen who will get off their duffs, do what they’re supposed to, and work for the people. If that happens you’ll have the right combination to bring the government back into what it’s supposed to be. JMHO
LOL sweettalk? Ron Paul doesn’t have to. It’s the lure of his honesty we love.
Truth is addictive.
By the way, he doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories.
Well, here’s another magazine that is controlled by the power elites. Truthseekers see right through this B.S. about Ron Paul. Garbage website…garbage defamation of Ron Paul…communistic twisting and exaggeration of facts.
Ron Paul believes in conspiracy theories.
So, then you dont believe organized crime exists?
Conversely, do you believe everything the government tells you?
When more than one person conspires to do something, that is a conspiracy, when all the facts are not known, one can only theorize what actually happened. This is a conspiracy theory. What about this is negative?
Ron Paul votes to protect constitutional rights of child predators instead of children rights.
Yes, he votes according to the constitution no matter what, he upholds his oath of office no matter what, even if it means he has to vote against a ‘warm and fuzzy’ bill he would otherwise like to see passed. This is called principle. This is not a bad thing.
Ron Paul is a political opportunist.
Due to the current rules, you cannot get on the ballot as a 3rd party without being a billionaire like Ross Perot. If you would like to see more parties run and have a snowballs chance of winning, youll have to change the system. This point on ronpaulexposed.com is pathetically weak.
Ron Paul is a documented hypocrite.
This is just stupid. Read his reasons for pushing term limits.
Ron Paul thinks we’d be safer without the CIA.
Uh, we would. What do you think the CIAs main function is? Collecting intelligence? lol. Read this.
He has said Iran has no military.
Weak point. Really stretching. Perhaps a poorly worded statement by Paul. What he probably meant is No military to speak of and not a national threat to us. Which they arent.
Paul has voted against funding our troops while in combat.
That bill also did alot of other unconstitutional things with money.
