You have the right to ignore the letters and consider them to be a minor issue. I believe its a major issue. That is the beauty of this, we can have our opinions and argue back and forth. Nothing I say is going to convince you to change your mind, and nothing you say will convince me to change my mind. The reality of these elections is that we will choose the candidate that will benefit us personally. You think ron paul will allow you to prosper if he is president, I think minorities are screwed if he is president. Your viewpoint is very odd considering Ron Paul is the only candidate addressing the disproportion of blacks in prison for minor drug offenses compared to the rest of the population and calling for equal justice under the law. Not even Obama has been willing to stick out his neck. Minorities have suffered greatly under Obama, especially with higher unemployment. But go ahead, let you hatred blind you. Vote against the only honest candidate who actually does want to do something to help minorities just because it makes you feel more comfortable about that gigantic chip on your shoulder.

If anything lets show the Democrats and Republicans that are vote isn’t to be forsaken and taken for granted. Let’s show them that we support and go against those that choose to just see us as count on vote. Finally let’s show that just because you are black you cannot ignore black people and then beg for us to reelect you.

Paul scares a lot of people unfamiliar with him, whites, browns, and blacks. But the same are pretty much tired of the way things have turned out to date, and want something better. And that want for something better is overcoming their initial fear or skepticism of Paul.

As far as democrat-republican goes, I first tuned in to Paul from Dennis Kucinich’s presidential campaign website in 2007 or 2008. It had a 20 questions feature. After answering a bunch of socio-political questions the feature listed the presidential candidate at the time whose positions best matched up with your answers. In my case it was Ron Paul. So I guess I tuned into republican Paul because of a blind date arranged by democrat matchmaker Kucinich.

It’s 2011 already. Nobody has an excuse not to be fully informed on Paul or any candidate when such info is only a few mouse clicks away.

The main reason I chose Paul for the next president is because I’m fed up with the 18 years of war and waste from both Bush and Obama. Seems like only 10 because Iraq and Afghanistan ran concurrently for 8 years.

And I don’t want another 10 or 15 more years of war and waste, which would be the case with any president outside of Paul.

To call Ron Paul a racist would be like calling the Pope a Muslim. For the MSM and the Republicans to call RP a racist insults the intelligence of the Black race. This will certainly backfire on them.

Yes, Black America should give a damn. Because of the “America” in “Black America”. Because our country is in serious trouble and ALL Americans need to care if we’re going to turn this country around. Because our country is at a crossroads and a turning point with no way to go back once we choose a path. We can elect Ron Paul, who is serious about balancing the budget, cutting spending, bringing our troops home, auditing the Federal Reserve, cutting federal bureaucracy and waste, and returning power (and control) on many issues back to the states, where the founding fathers intended it to be. When decisions are made on a state or local level, everyone has a better chance to be heard. On important issues, it is far easier to get to your town/city hall, county offices or state capitol than it is to get to Washington DC for most Americans. Or we can elect ANY other candidate to continue on the disastrous road we are on … until we reach the end of the road. Please choose to care. Ron Paul – Restore America Now

to sum it up, something I read the other day:

Liberals believe people are mostly bad, and need to be controlled.

Libertarians believe people are mostly good, and need to be free.

Do you assume more would do bad with freedom than good?

Oh, I forgot the civil rights act. He would definitely have overturned Jim Crow laws, he just didn’t think the federal government has the right to directly regulate private businesses that are not in interstate commerce. I see an argument for it having been done then as policy because there was no ‘non racist market’ after the state by LAW had required racist laws. Now that doesn’t exist. Again, you may disagree with him, but it isn’t racism that makes him feel that way. Chris Matthews asks him about it on Hardball at the beginning of this election cycle in case you want to see him discuss it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBbV7mURP0I

Ron Paul never wrote the newsletters. Look at the language of the newsletters. Listen to Ron Paul. He doesn’t use red meat to inflame against people, ever, it disgusts him when others do. Go to youtube. There is a HUGE library of his speeches. Some go back to 1970, 20 years before the newsletters. Ron Paul hasn’t changed.

There was an independent editor of the newsletters, which were written before the internet, while Ron Paul was back practicing medicine. It seems to me that a racist would not, as Ron Paul did, refuse to take medicare and medicaid but also refuse to turn any patient away for inability to pay. He gave free and discounted service to women of all races and religions, serving some of the poorest people in Brazoria county, during the time while these newsletters were written. Nelson Linder, the District Chief from the NAACP when Ron Paul had previously been in congress went on the radio and said Ron Paul was not racist, that this was the result of his fighting for the Constitution which was a threat to power broker status quo. That interview is on youtube as well.

The newsletters were a failure of oversight of how his name was being used, at a time when he was not in office, and had no staff monitoring that sort of thing. He says he condemns the statements and in no way agrees with them. If that oversight leads you to not want to vote for him, that is your decision. But he is who he seems to be, and the more you look into him, the more you will see that is so.

By the way, his budget plan cuts elsewhere to fund social security and does not cut medicare. In fact, he sees social security as a contract right. This may be more obvious to him than to other Congressmen because he found the Congressional pension to be immorally rich compensation with taxpayer money, and has refused it. AS a result, he has been required to pay into social security along with all of us, and I can’t imagine who would be more likely to defend it.

He has never been a racist. Never. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk9HSMB-YaU
