I hope those companies vote for him, because he lost my vote by pandering to antigunners.

How did he do that? Tell us please.

Not many on this board will like him since he actually abides by the constitution though.... Just saying.

PS - He's in TX too.

I wouldn't be so quick to say he is that gun friendly. And I would pick many others bfore him becuase of this Subject: Rep. Ron Paul opposed to raid on Bin Laden's compound

You have to remember why 9/11 was caused in the first place. Due to blowback such as this. Now that Binladen's dead, we've just created a new position for many new terrorists to fill, with an even greater passion and hatred for the US.


How would you feel if say, Russia flew helicopters in American soil to "neutralize" someone who committed big acts of "terrorism" over there?

All the other republicans play off double standards and emotion. Ron Paul has a voting record on par with the constitution, and does not give lip service.

Perry should stay governor of TX. If he wins a spot being the POTUS, we'll have Bush the 3rd. We all saw how well that went in 2008.


PS - something to ponder about to those who think killing UBL really made us "safer"

When we killed Pablo Escobar, did it really stop, or even SLOW the flow of drugs?

The elimination of UBL was a very important piece. Anytime you take the leader out of position, the underlings will fight between themselves to try to be the new boss. Additionally there was a VERY big wealth of intell that was collected by getting the media from his computers and thumb drives. And, while any strike at that organization will prompt their saber rattling, if you can dived and separate, then they will not be collectively able to launch a large scale or big hit.

And, 9/11 was not in retaliation against Bush, even though they tried to put that on his head. Al Quida has been in play since the late 80's and pulled off Embassy bombings and the bombing of the USS Cole. So, their terror plots have spanned multiple Presidents.

Mark my word, Paul would be another flopper on anything that they could sway him on, which would be a lot.

I don't think you can find a more 2A friendly potential candidate than Perry, unless it might be Michele Bachmann.

This 2005 photo provided by Michele Bachmann shows then-state Sen. Michele Bachmann as she poses with her state permit to carry a concealed weapon nestled in a folded U.S. flag at her office in the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.
