If he did give his salary to charity I'm sure his campaign and supporters would not be shy about letting us know about it.
That's how health care will be funded under his administration.

Makes sense. In the free-market libertopia health care costs will be so low that $400,000 will cover everyone in the country.
Government creates government jobs. Ron Paul is not so moronic to not know that or acknowledge that. Paul's thing is that government doesn't create private sector jobs and that regulating free markets destroys private sector jobs.
The position that Ron Paul shouldn't serve in Congress or take money for work he does in Congress, simply because "government doesn't create jobs" is a straw man.
Doesn't Ron Paul believe a business owner should have the right to not service a black family? Or am I thinking of Rand Paul?
He mostly passes the buck to the states.

Except that he never says that government doesn't create "private sector jobs". He says that government doesn't create jobs period. In other words, government never created the job he has currently had for over 2 decades. You're right, it is a moronic statement for a government employee to make.
Hardly. Its called standing by the principles you preach. You simply can't sit back and say that government doesn't create jobs while you work at a government created job making six figures, while the average American makes 35k a year.
Ron Paul said:These, in addition to an already hostile regulatory environment, only add to the burden and risk of job creation in the private economy.

I'm guessing this vid is old news here on PoliGAF but this was cold blooded by Romney...wow.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, campaigning in Iowa the same day that Gov. Rick Perrys swooping in for a couple of stops, took a bit of a dig at the governors jobs message without naming him at a stop in Winterset.
Presidents cant create jobs. Government cant create jobs. All they can do is create bureaucrats that interfere with your ability to create jobs, Paul said to applause from a crowd of about 120 at the Northside Cafe..
You couldn't find a better source for that video except WSHH?

They both believe that. They think the Civil Rights Act was a huge overreach of government power. Another reason I could never vote for the guy.
Oh, and this is funny;

I don't see how it is. He's explained his position on this before. He's against it, but if it's being done anyway, he'll use it to try and get the money to the people he's representing. Which makes sense. Better than being left in the dark, whilst others instead benefit, and his own state lose out.

Nope, anyone else is free to provide one though. Vid is of Romney walking away from someone sick arguing for medical marijuana and smiling.
What Romney Bain Actually Did That People Don't Like
For all the back and forth about Bain, what CAPITALIST Warren Buffett mentions is the key point. And there was a way they did this with that portion of their business, including Bain. People seem to be missing it.
When I ask whether Mitt Romney is a job creator or destroyer, Buffett says that while businesses shouldn't keep people they don't need, "I don't like what private-equity firms do in terms of taking out every dime they can and leveraging [companies] up so that they really aren't equipped, in some cases, for the future."
First, you go in and stream-line the company for maximum profitability. That makes it look golden. Then you take it public with an IPO. In different cases, Bain would raise tens of millions of dollars, but they would also take out millions in profit. Their margins were often far above what the margin of the company might be on an ongoing basis. So, Bain's profits weren't what one who was building a business over the long haul might expect. It represented a huge, one-time hit. That also puts the lie to Romney's job creation numbers. They weren't in it for the long haul.

There, now people can avoid WSHH.
And yeah, Romney is a real PoS.

I live the absolutely ludicrous claims that the Bain attacks dont "resonate" with republicans.
Are memories so short that the Tea Party has been forgotten?
Here are a few things you may remember seeing on posters:
Fat Cats
Wall Street Bailouts
Main Street not Wall Street
Cronies
Ring any bells?
The Tea Party didn't really care about any of that. All the cared about was the BLACK man in the WHITE house. That's why you have Tea Party politicians like Nikki Haley supporting Romney.

Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics - American politics is burdened by big money from lobbyists and special interests with an undue influence on the peoples representatives. The Tea Party movement is seen as a threat to the entrenched political parties and thus is the continual target of smear campaigns and misrepresentation of its ideals
Are you against all undercover journalism or just when it exposes things that make your side look bad?
Jared Bernstein:
When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney asserted that federal low-income programs are administered so inefficiently that very little of the money thats actually needed by those that really need help, those that cant care for themselves, actually reaches them, my colleagues at the CBPP got to work on this graph.
I'd like to see a comparison between that chart and the benefits offered through insurance companies plus administrative costs.
Wait! I've already spoiled it for myself. Insurance companies would be less efficient.
Laws are not be-all and end-all of all things decent and standard. I'm OK with breaking laws, provided they are inhumane. Civil Rights movement was about breaking laws, termed "civil disobedience" by Gandhi and INC. OWS is also a form of civil disobedience. Undercover journalism, which hardly exists anymore, isn't just sting operations and expose. At it's core, it's about finding the truth. This is achieved only if you have integrity and no bias, and your only goal is the truth and nothing else. O Keefe and that other scumbag are neither journalists nor reporters. They're agenda-driven lackeys of an establishment much bigger than them. They're not after truth. They're after entrapment and incrimination of their opponents and liberals. These scumbags do not deserve to be spoken in the same sentence as journalism unless its "they don't know shit about journalism"I'm against all undercover journalism if the journalist has to break the law in order to find out the supposed "truth".
I'm for undercover journalism if it's agreed on with the city/county/state police or business being investigated. Had they alerted the county or state that they wanted to do this then by all means go ahead.
The Tea Party didn't really care about any of that. All the cared about was the BLACK man in the WHITE house.
This is some hilarious bullshit revisionism. Typical though.

It's not new, people said the exact same thing at the time.This is some hilarious bullshit revisionism. Typical though.
Not at all. It doesn't take any thought process to proclaim Reagan the defeater of communism and the greatest President evar.I wouldn't call it revisionism. Revisionism requires something resembling a thought process.

I think you're cool and everything, but these types of posts are embarrassing and out of line. And as a foreigner, the posts stick out even more considering you don't live here/aren't qualified to make so many generalizations. No offense, just my opinion.
I think it could. If the dollar remains weak and energy prices remain high, America will be a very attractive place for global businesses to manufacture their goods here.
No. You just have to open a history book and read those facts.Not at all. It doesn't take any thought process to proclaim Reagan the defeater of communism and the greatest President evar.
Ugh. So Jon Stewart did his periodic token false equivalency bit yesterday. He targeted some broad who called the tea baggers "economic terrorists" for the debt ceiling fiasco, and was all "tsk tsk tsk".
What's particularly annoying about Stewart is that he realizes there's a fuckton of false equivalency bullshit always being thrown around and he himself has made fun of it millions of times. Then sure enough, even he goes ahead and partakes in it. Really disappointing and annoying.
Obama comes off like an awkward college professor to me. He seems like he'd rather sit at home and read than converse with folks
No. You just have to open a history book and read those facts.
Pretty sure that's only the case in Texas.
I'm not attacking you PD, but you say this as a guy that post on NeoGaf lol. Don't you see the irony of that?

I see your avatar is ironic.

Jon Stewart is cool, but only when he agrees with my opinions.
ha ha. whatever cyan..
Neither can he!(wasn't that one of the agencies Perry said he'd abolish? i can't remember which 3 he said he'd torch)
