Key GOP group endorses Ron Paul

http://stanky.wordpress.com/2007/05/2...

ARLINGTON, VA – The United Republicans of California (UROC) have unanimously endorsed Congressman Ron Paul for president of the United States. UROC, formed in 1963 to support Barry Goldwater, represents the traditional conservative wing of the California Republican Party.

“The unanimous endorsement from the United Republicans of California proves what the campaign has been saying all along,” said campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Ron Paul is the only true conservative and real Republican in the race.”

In their official statement endorsing Dr. Paul, UROC called him “the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital” and recognized that:

Ron Paul’s voting record demonstrates that he has voted against:

· raising taxes;
· unbalanced budgets;
· a federal restriction on gun ownership;
· raising congressional pay; or
· increasing the power of the executive branch.

His voting record demonstrates further that he voted against:

· the USA Patriot Act;
· regulating the Internet; and
· the war in Iraq.

Dr. Paul is the only candidate with a record that matches the UROC’s platform.

“Whether the issue is life, the Second Amendment, foreign policy, spending or taxes, Ron Paul is the only traditional conservative candidate,” continued Snyder. “Traditional conservatives across the country should support Ron Paul for president.”

Finally getting the respect that his record deserves....most criticism levied against him is because the Bills are "unconstitutional" in the first place even though they sound good....which reinforces Pauls belief that if you ignore that to which you swear to uphold in some part what keeps the whole thing from being tossed???  If people ONLY want to "pick and choose" what should be upheld you end up with NOTHING....just like compromise...how long do you compromise before you have given up everything???  We have already given up too much.

 The public at large is smart enough to begin to see that things aren't as they appear and that "Americas" financial powers aren't actually looking out for OUR best interests propping up their shills. 

"The convictions of our Founding Fathers were strong enough for them to take on the British, while today the abuse of power by our own government, although far worse than that of the King, prompts little action. The patriotic citizens of colonial days brought about a major revolution with a positive change in favor of individual freedom -- a unique episode of man's history and something that ought to be duplicated again."

Maybe because Hunter is for the U.S. staying the U.N. and while for reformations is not as conservative to actually totally eliminate agencies/policies to in reality see limited government (the tendency to try to "cage" the beast instead of "killing it" totally).  I noticed too that Duncan Hunters Freedom Index rating is only a 67 when Pauls is consistently a 100% (based on voting in line with the Constitution).

 Personally I see lots of other issues to find fault in his positions but I wouldn't believe that my issues are that of the UROC.

I would vote for Duncan Hunter if given a chance but I don't see that happening.  If Tancredo doesn't make it either I will vote for Ron Paul.  Even though I seem him as too much of an isolationist, perhaps that would be a good thing until our country can get back on the right path.  Anything would be better than voting for anyone with ties to the CFR.  It has been well documented that Fred is, so I do not trust him as nothing good comes from that group.

fj45lvr, my post was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek.  I don't dislike Duncan Hunter and nobody in the race is threatened by him, but it was just the irony that the nominal California conservative wasn't conservative enough for the other Calicons that I couldn't resist.

I don't quite get the "knock" you hear alot about being "isolationist"....what in the hell is wrong with staying out of the worlds affairs saving a boatload of money???  Do we really want the world interfering in our stuff???

 Founders warned to not show favorites in dealing with nations....trade with them and set an example but don't be dole-ing out "welfare" and providing their national defense (on our backs).....anyone ever been involved in a group where some rich person thinks they should boss everyone around and tell em what to do??  Who do you think is going to get the "ax" by the group first....the strong quiet type living by example or the one butting into everyones biz trying to force their way??    The answer is sooo obvious.

You earn respect.....you don't buy it.  RESPECT something we need to regain.

Patti,

Kudos to you for not throwing away your vote on whomever neocon the GOP establishment throws out there.  Though I'm not a big fan of Hunter he has little chance of winning but would be infinitely better than George W. Bush, Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush, etc.  

Though Ron Paul is not an isolationist one bit.  Isolationists are subscribe to mercantialism and have huge exorbitant tariffs that limit trade with other nations.  

Remember the Jeffersonian axiom: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - Entangling alliances with none".

Well put 08

I am glad I read further , I was about to tackle that one as well there is a difference between being an isolationist and being eloquently aloof . I don't like it much when my neighbor smells my BBQ going and says why didn't you do chicken , I like chicken better ( he wasn't even invited to dinner ).
