Here's Ron Paul punking the traitor Ben Bernanke on Moral Hazard and the destruction of the US dollar



It's really too bad that most Americans are too dumb or too misinformed to understand this issue, or how The Fed's decision to destroy the US dollar will affect their lives.

America the country deserves leaders like Ron Paul. The current ignorant inhabitants of America do not.

Paul Raises Jaw-Dropping $5 Million

October 03, 2007 1:16 PM

ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf Reports: It dominated headlines yesterday when Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, announced her campaign juggernaut had outpaced all rivals in the campaign fundraising horse race with a $27 million haul in the third quarter.

Today's fundraising announcement by Rep. Ron Paul, the Republican Libertarian ob-gyn from Texas, doesn't involve quite as much money, but is downright jaw-dropping.

His campaign is revealing today that in the 3rd quarter Paul raised $5,080,000. This is more than double his 2nd quarter figure of $2.4 million and no small sum for an insurgent campaign.

Comparatively, Paul's Q3 figure is five times what was raised in the same period by GOP rival former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is often given a better chance at the party nomination by political pundits. It puts Paul in the same fundraising neighborhood as top-tier Republican candidates like Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

Paul surprises with campaign cash total

Renegade Texas Congressman Ron Paul raised nearly $5.1 million during the summer and had $5.3 million in cash to spend at the end of last month, his campaign announced today.

His haul is more than double the $2.4 million he brought in during the second quarter and bucks the typical slowdown during July, August, and September. His campaign also noted that Republican rivals, including Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and John McCain, appear to have raised less during the third quarter.

Paul's success is eye-opening, given he is barely registering in the national polls. His campaign, however, is benefitting from an unusual cadre of young people, who are supporting him online and increasingly in rallies. Paul espouses a libertarian strain of Republican views and is the only GOP presidential candidate who opposes the war in Iraq.

"Dr. Paul's message is freedom, peace, and prosperity," Paul campaign manager Kent Snyder said in a statement. "As these fund-raising numbers show, more Americans each day are embracing Dr. Paul's message."

Paul Campaign Raises Over $5,000,000 In Third Quarter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - The Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign raised $5,080,000 during the third quarter of 2007. That is an impressive 114 percent increase from the second quarter.

Cash on hand for the Paul campaign is $5,300,000.

"Dr. Paul's message is freedom, peace and prosperity," said Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "As these fundraising numbers show, more Americans each day are embracing Dr. Paul's message."

Ron Paul's 114 percent increase is in stark contrast to the decrease suffered by Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain. Romney's fundraising was down 29 percent. Giuliani was down 40 percent. McCain was down 55 percent.

Time is running short that's the only problem. With more time Ron Paul would eclipse those other Republican ass clowns in the polls. He has the momentum and they don't.

BTW - The GOP is closing it's primaries to registered Republicans. The window for registering is very near for many states. So if you want Ron Paul you better get off your ass and register Republican right now. And get as many of your friends and family to do the same. And get them to spread the word too.

New Hampshire and New York's deadline for registration is in 8 days!

Inflation isn't always a bad thing; it forces people to invest and spend now (good for the economy, bad for individual consumers who are on average $9,000 in debt) rather than tie up resources by saving (imagine an economy where each actor spends 10% less than they earn, how long before it shuts down?)

Right now the Fed, in a very simple way, is confronted with hesitant investors and spenders, which threatens to lock down the economy.

Raising the pace at which they dump money into the market screws over people who have natural market and economic sense (those of us who spend less than we earn).

This is an example of a "scientific" poll.

You can tell by Bernanke's response to Mr. Paul's great speech that he's nothing more than a puppet - he had absolutely no credible response to Ron Paul's question.

Peter Schiff also pointed out that by devaluating the dollar, the Fed has only made things worse for the housing crisis - money will be worth less, therfore it takes more
to purchase the same items.

All I can say after that clip is "AMEN!" I can only hope that Ron Paul gains some traction in the polls. Then again, people get the government they deserve. It does amaze me how the MSM considers this guy so far out of the mainstream. His ideas of preserving the Constitution, limited government, balancing budgets seem like common sense yet he is treated as a high voodoo priest. Give me my tinfoil hat I guess...

We all need to donate some to Ron Paul's campaign. I gave $100 this past quarter and will give again this month. There is an opportunity for Ron Paul's fledgling groundswell of support to gain some inertia/media coverage, etc. and start pulling in more people. One of those great underdog stories Americans love. However, I fear that whoever is elected President next year will inherit an economy that is destined for collapse. Perhaps it's better for Ron Paul to lose this time and then save us in 2012. I just hope the good doctor's health holds up!

Polls only get the opinion of people who...

still have a land line,

are sitting at home in the early evening,

and don't have caller ID that lets them decide not to take calls from random out-of-state numbers that are 99.9% likely to be a telemarketer.

This leaves retirees, underemployed mouth-breathers, housewives, and the unemployed, who are the only people that are home to answer calls from a random out of state number on their land line in the early evening.

These are the people that determine polling numbers, and by extension, all candidates' public persona.

Ron Paul asks some important questions, questions that are on every intelligent person's mind, and Bernanke gives him that half - assed, canned answer that doesn't even address the parts about moral hazard and Wall Street and the danger of keeping interest rates too low. Bernanke knew everything in that speech was the truth, and so he answers with some superficial garbage that was barely even coherent.

Ron Paul is the man. I hope people with vote for him even as a write-in candidate if he doesn't run as independent to send a signal that we don't need no more clintons or bushies or any other automatons of corporate america.

I send an email to the Fed everyweek. Here is my latest. That do respond and even read them. It may seem infantile and fruitless, but if more americans did it...ok, I'm delusional again.

"Your program of punishing diligent savers and rewarding speculators and profligate borrowers has achieved new milestones today: the Dow and Gold and all Dollar/Euro all at all time highs. Unfortunately, the American public never got the memo that the mission of the FED has changed from price stability to never making sure the US economy never experiences another recession irrespective of the damage to the US dollar. It is nice to know that our appointed officials have no regard for people like my parents who have worked hard and lived less well than they could have in order to save for their “golden years”. Such people now face having to live on fixed annuities that will see their purchasing power erode year after year at an accelerating rate. I did not realize that Aesop’s “The Ant and the Grasshopper” was, in fact, a parody."

Anyway, it is cathartic.

Dr. Paul's message is freedom, peace, and prosperity..

Except if you're a pregnant woman, in which case you will have no freedom in Ron Paul's America. Depending on your circumstances, you may never have prosperity either.

Ron Paul's stance on abortion is frightening. It's one thing to harbor those views for yourself. It's another when you think your views should trump a woman's choice over her own body.

Ron Paul:

In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, HR 1094.

I am also the prime sponsor of HR 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn.

I have also authored HR 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.”

Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken direct action to restore protection for the unborn.

As an OB/GYN doctor, I’ve delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience has made me an unshakable foe of abortion
.

I'd rather take a collapsing economy, run-away taxes, and a depreciated dollar over another nut job in office. Bring back the housing bubble!

Greetings All,

I am looking for some help in identify ground zero of the current housing debacle in Arizona. Can anyone tell me where I can go in either Pheonix or elsewhere in Arizona to observe numerous empty homes. I mean like a stretch of homes that are either boarded up or a stretch of homes with a great many for sales signs on each block.

My reason for asking is that I am currently pursuing my Masters and for one of my classes I will be doing a paper on housing. As an avid reading of HP, I thought that my topic should be on the Phoenix or other Arizona location where houses are just sitting and sitting and sitting without any takers. I'd like to visit the identified location and speak to some residents and take a few photos.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all, especially Keith for some great insight. Keep up the great work.

There is a very simple explanation for Dr. Paul's low polling numbers. All polling is done over land lines. Anyone under 35, who do you know that actually uses a house phone? Um.... that would be literally noone for me.

The straw poll results have been very consistent with the money he has raised (both very good).

Now just imagine if he got 1/2 of the media attention the major candidates had.

One can argue that the dollar was F'd anyway. If he held or raised rates, banks were surly going to fail (probably within days...) That would sour investor sentiment and they would leave US equities in droves. It's not like the US stock market is based on fundamentals... And what do we call things that are based on perceived value? A Bubble.

The dollar has been propped up over the last few years by Asia (most notably China) Again, what do we call things that are not based on fundamental value? A Bubble.

They're all linked. The RE Bubble is popping, if there where no cuts and banks failed the Stock market bubble would likely pop and that would be enough to drive foreigners away and the dollar bubble pops.

The fun is that if the dollar bubble pops first, the RE and stock bubbles are going to pop, but you may only notice them popping if you look at the value adjusted for the dollar.

The best part is that the Sub-prime (and Alt-A) BS is still there. It's not over by a long shot and banks are still going to fail. So the only thing that Ben-Dover did was delay the inevitable.

We've been F'd for a long time. In 03 when the housing market really started to scream Wide FN Open it was time for the FED to slam the brakes. It's too late now, it's just a question of how bad will it get.

RP has stated on a few occasions that he will not consider running as an independent, likely because him doing so would have the same effect, and he knows it.
If he actually gets the nomination, I would consider him a lock, especially against Hillary. It is getting the nomination that is the hard part.

To the person whose misguided since of morality led him/her to write that it would be better for our economy to disintegrate than to have a future president (Ron Paul) who would protect the lives of unborn children:

Are you serious? Where in the constituion does it say anyone has the right to terminate human life? Are you arguing that a fetus is not a human life? Did you know that you were once a fetus? We have laws currently on the books in many states that make it a felony to kill an unborn child if that child does not belong to you (i.e., Scott Peterson killing his wife Laci and unborn child). If life is sacred in crimes such as that, why would it be any less sacred if the expectant mother is the one that "pulls the trigger" (decides to abort)?

I wonder what planet some people are on when they can read the HR that Ron Paul proposed regarding abortion and think that it is somehow morally wrong or radical?

I was on the fence before about considering a vote for Ron Paul in the presidential election. But, now that I know (a) his stand on protecting human life, and (b) the kinds of irrational, immoral people who stand on the other side, well that just made my decision for me. I will be voting for Ron Paul, for the sake of our economy, and future generations of children.

As the Dollar begins its path back up to normalcy, RPs ratings will continue to decline.
It amazes me that some of the folks on here seem so smart in some areas, but are totally off

In general i don't really get Mr. Ron Paul, for me he comes across as someone who gets large gifts from the Saudis etc.

Here is my prediction
1) this is the last week of Dollar decline vs other paper currencies.
logic = the Dollars value is based on representing the most stable economy on earth the USof A
and Europe's delayed housing decline is gaining momentum.

2) Hillary will be the first Woman President
logic = the extreme Christian religious right (those who 'all values are sexuality based') have been bashing
the Clintons and mentioning their names at least 10 times a day, from the day Bill took office to date.
This incredible amount of free advertisement naturally places Hillary on top
