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.

    “Ron Paul votes to protect constitutional rights of child predators instead of children rights.”

    How is this a Federal Issue? Aren’t the police capable of handling crime? And if it crosses states, why not work together?

    We already have the tools in place to nip this in the bud. Why they haven’t been able to? Good question. Why give them even more power? If I don’t do my job effectively, I get fired, not given more authority.

    Look, it boiols down to this. Either we believe in the Constitution or we don’t. Either we follow the supreme law of the land, or we change it. We don’t just justify aruond it because something sounds good. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Constitution at least provides the speed bumps.

    I am a Canadian. I wish I was a American just so I could vote for this great man!

    Facts in this writing are way off. Everything you said made absolutely no sense and described Ron Paul in less ways than one. You my friend, need to get your facts straight before bashing on Ron Paul.

    What a waste of a google search!!!

    Vapid, unsubstantive blathering. Is that really the best you can do? The more of this anti-Paul claptrap I read, the more convinced I am that he is the man I am voting for. Ron Paul speaks directly, factually, and with unwavering principle. Fatuous, emotional, and empty strawman arguments such as yours mean little to anyone who thinks objectively and rationally. Unfortunately, intelligence is invisible to those who do not possess it. Thank you for your (unintended) help.

    Also boils down to this, 70% of Americans are against the war, and its impossible to win an election when 70% of the people are against you. I know that Huckabee doesn’t care if we win the national election, but I do not want Hillary to become president, EVER!!! So its not even a debate between choosing a pro-war republican vs. Ron Paul! Its about choosing either Ron Paul or Hillary!

    So really who would you prefer to be in charge? If Hillary wins, she will win with a mandate and a majority in both congress, there will be nothing that we can do to stop socialized healthcare, AND that will become another 3rd rail of politics and we are doomed!

    Ron Paul is the only candidate that can win the national election and thats a fact! Would you rather win a battle in Iraq, or would you rather save America from a commie like Hillary who believes in World government?

    Ron Paul is our LAST chance to take this country back!

    Oh, and to answer your shameless, web traffic-whoring headline: “No. As is in evidence by the MSNBC online poll and the Foxnews poll subsequent to the New Hampshire debate.

    MSNBC:
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18963731/

    Foxnews removed any reference to the poll of which Paul garnered 33% of the votes –twice that of the #2. Yeah, “Unpopular By the Second” –you have to be baiting!

    Why am I reading about American politics on a British Website? Feel free to pontificate, but keep in mind no one on this side of the pond give a damn about your opinion.

    * Ron Paul believes in conspiracy theories.
    … and Santa Claus, right? Were you going to say that next?
    * Ron Paul votes to protect constitutional rights of child predators instead of children rights.
    … That issue had NOTHING to do with always having unfiltered news available to those who want to research.
    * Ron Paul is a political opportunist.
    All politicians use the method that they think will get them elected.
    * Ron Paul is a documented hypocrite.
    Shut up.
    * Ron Paul thinks we’d be safer without the CIA.
    He’d obviously replace it with something better.
    * He has said Iran has no military.
    Similar to the statement, “Nobody has heard of Ron Paul.” The abverb “practically” is inferred.
    * Paul has voted against funding our troops while in combat.
    Bring troops home.

    You’re such a fucking liar and a fool. Ron Paul’s support is stronger than ever, and is getting stronger by the moment. His comment about liquidating bad businesses is about tax payers not having to carry the burden of opportunistic financial firms who make a lot money off of giving out high-risk mortgages, hoping their allies in Washington will extort the tax payers and give them corporate welfare when the inevitable mortgage melt-down occurs.
