Why Dr. Ron Paul Doesn't Stand a snowball's Chance in Hades of becoming the next President of the United States!

Here is a brief synopsis of Ron Paul's position:

  • marching out of Iraq just as America marched in.
  • no more meddling in the Middle East.
  • bringing the troops home from hundreds of expensive bases all over the world.
  • abolish the personal income tax and the IRS - they are not compatible with a free society.
  • repeal the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act.
  • restore habeas corpus.
  • stop spying on Americans. No more eavesdropping on personal emails and bank accounts, business and home phone calls.
  • no national ID.... just the bracing freedom of the Constitution.
  • sound money and not the great counterfeiting machine called the Federal Reserve that causes recessions and inflation.
  • private property rights, with no pollution or other attacks on property.
  • enforce the Second Amendment and all the Bill of Rights. Privacy for each citizen with no secrecy for a corrupt bureaucracy.
  • restoration of the Republic and sovereignty.
  • no UN, no North American Union with Canada and Mexico.
  • no WTO, no World Bank and no International Monetary Fund.
  • federalism, free enterprise, peace and prosperity.

Does Ron Paul sound like a President who could do a lot of good things for America? You bet, but that's exactly why you will never see him as the Republican Presidential candidate. His common sense has been stepping on too many toes which have been running America into the ground.

Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney

  • Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries and deaths.
  • Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
  • Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.
  • Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.
  • Violating U.S, law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
  • Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
  • Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
  • Violating U.S. law by using paid propoganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.
  • Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
  • Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.
