Is Ron Paul The Only Adult At The GOP Debates?

Dear Don, If you missed Tuesday night’s debate on CNN, there’s something  you need to know. All seven of my opponents stood up on stage and applauded  Big Government - asked for more of it, in fact. So your choice is clear.  With just over five weeks left until voters begin going to the polls,  if you want a President who will FIGHT for less government and  lower spending, then I must ask for your support right away. You see, Newt Gingrich – who previously warned of the dangers  of the Patriot Act - now wants it expanded. He wants amnesty, too – to keep American citizens footing the  bill for government services for illegal immigrants. The others were falling all over themselves to launch more  undeclared TRILLION-dollar wars on Iran, or perhaps Pakistan,  or maybe even Syria. Of course, they all want more military spending, even though  we’re already spending almost one TRILLION dollars per year –  an amount nearly equal to what the entire rest of the world spends! But that certainly hasn’t stopped the chicken-little stories from  my opponents about supposed “defense cuts”! Even Mitt Romney tried to pull the wool over our eyes. I set him straight.  NOTHING is being cut in Washington.   PERIOD. Believe me, I’ve tried! All Congress is arguing about is how much to increase  spending. But when hundreds of billions of dollars just aren’t “enough”  for my opponents’ favorite agencies, their answer is to howl in pain. Don, isn’t this the game the liberals play? I guess we’ve learned to expect as much over the years from them. But isn’t it downright disgusting when Republican candidates for  President stoop to that level? After all, we’re over $15 TRILLION in debt.  When are my opponents going to get serious? Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s lacking in these  debates so far – seriousness. And that’s why the establishment of BOTH parties is so  scared of me. You see, they know I am serious about balancing the budget  in three years. They know I will cut ONE TRILLION in spending my  first year. And they know NONE of their sacred cows are safe.   If we don’t need it or can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter  what department of government we’re talking about. Sure, the establishment will scream and holler that we  need MORE money to keep our country safe.  But the simple fact is, if we had a constitutional foreign  policy – and if we stopped nation-building and policing  the world - our nation would be much safer and spend  much LESS money at the same time. Our troops understand that fact.  That’s why I’ve received more money from members of  the military than all of my Republican opponents COMBINED. But sadly, my establishment opponents just don’t seem to  get it. They want more spending, more government, and more  debt. You and I both know we can’t afford politics as usual  any longer.  You and I both know maintaining the big spending, Big  Government status quo will only lead to our nation’s ruin. But I’m the ONE candidate who is serious about fixing  our problems.  I’m the ONE candidate who will change our foreign policy  to strengthen our national defense while ending these wars. I’m the ONE candidate who will fight to end welfare to  illegal immigrants AND secure our border. And I’m the ONE candidate who will take power  BACK from government, not scream to give more to it. But I must be able to count on your generous financial  support if I’m going to win the Republican nomination. My campaign is in crunch time right now. As I mentioned, it’s just over five weeks until voters  start going to the caucuses and polls to begin selecting  the next Republican nominee for President. In these final weeks, my campaign is launching an all- out voter contact blitz with TV ads, direct mail, and boots  on the ground in both Iowa and New Hampshire. With polls showing me statistically tied for first in Iowa  and clearly in second in New Hampshire, you and I must make our big push right now. So please make your most generous contribution  TODAY to my campaign. Whatever you can give, I’ll put to IMMEDIATE use  getting my message of liberty to the voters. We’re so close.  I believe the time is right, and you and  I have the message to win. So please make your most generous contribution  TODAY! Together, we can Restore America Now! For Liberty, Ron PaulP.S. Every one of my opponents during Tuesday  night’s debate was demanding more government. Some are even falsely claiming military spending is  being cut!  But the only thing being debated in Washington, D.C.  right now is how fast spending will increase! I’m the only candidate in this race who is serious  about cutting spending.  And if we don’t need it  or can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter what department  it’s in. But with just over five weeks left until voters begin  going to the polls, I must be able to count on your  financial support if I’m going to win the Republican  nomination for President. So please contribute whatever you are able TODAY!

   Ron Paul Knows Congress Isn't Cutting Spending, only the Rate of Increase, But Mitt, Newt And The Other Five Robots Can't Comprehend 
   
I was totally miffed by Mitt, Herman, Newt, Michelle, and Rick--those are the GOP candidates for the    Republican nomination for president, so-called "leaders" who want to destroy what the Tea Party people created. The Tea Party wants to really cut spending, even if it hurts one particular department such as defense.
   
But so far, Congress doesn't get it. In the debate, Mitt Romney's eyes told the whole lurid story. It was as if he was a high school kid trying to win a small-town debate with his disbelieving eyes, something no respectful candidate would ever dream of doing. But Mitt is so far out of touch with economic reality, he has to resort to communicating with his eyes while his opponent (Ron Paul) is making his point that nothing is being done in Washington to even come close to cutting spending.

It smacks of Governor Romney's commitment, or lack thereof, to make cuts when Ron Paul in the last debate explained to a nave' Romney that NOTHING IS BEING CUT IN CONGRESS. IF WE CUT SOMETHING, IT IS SO SMALL IT WON'T EVEN CUT THE COST OF LIVING INCREASES.


So I'm rather happy the "illegal" but well publicized failed Super-committee came up with nothing--nada, no cuts. It means there will be an automatic 20 percent cut in spending next year I couldn't be happier.

Except, that is, if Ron Paul won the elections and produced his promised balanced budget in three years and a record-saving one trillion dollars the first year of his presidency..
