Congressman and two-time presidential candidate Ron Paul tells Newsmax the economic stimulus plan is a "total failure," and he's pushing a bill requiring the Federal Reserve to disclose its dealings so Americans can find out who the "culprits" are behind the financial meltdown.
The Texas Republican also said the U.S. is on course to "destroy the dollar," the healthcare reform plan is "dangerous" and could bankrupt the nation — and he is fighting against those who "would socialize the country."

Annoying because they were knew they were right?
Annoying because they were passionate?
Good criteria to dismiss a candidate. That’s how we end up with fools like Obama and fiscal RINO’s like the Bushes.
LOL. What can the secretary of treasury do?
As President he could veto every single piece of government expansion that comes along his desk.
You Paul-haters are just an absolute joke.
Not nearly as bad as Palin supporters
Are those the kinds of accusations you throw at everyone who doesn't slavishly worship your hero and drink vast amounts of the Kool-Aid?
Get lost, n00b.
That is certainly a stretch isn't it. You recommend him for Sec of Treasury and "they" call you a hater! It would take the rubbery guy in the fantastic four to make a stretch like that. lol
He isn’t saying anything now that he wasn’t saying before. The only difference is that before most people either ignored him or called him crazy.
Rep. Paul has been steadfast on ending the private bankers control of our dollar for years and years and has had his name dragged threw the mud as a loon and conspiracy nut for it. He has never flip flopped on this or anything else. His only agenda is to go back to when the dollar was pre-FED (private bankers who charge us interest the second a dollar is printed aka fiat). Our dollar belongs in the hands of our Republic and not in the hands of secret bankers who are mostly foreign.
Why, the surrenderman will be sooooo busy vetoing proposals for new lighthouses (to guide the new sailing ships or rowboats of our new paleonavy) that he won't notice Mohammed el Kaboomski coming up behind him in the oval office to force his surrender and his written agreement to establish and implement Sharia law.
After Paulie grovels on his knees dancing the Islamofascist tune to their delight there won't be much need for the American dollar since we will be living an eleventh century lifestyle swapping pigs for hummus supplies in our terrific new barter economy.
You must be right, Onerom99, no mere Secretary of Treasury spot for the Galveston shrimpin' czar. Only as POTUS, can he veto everything including the very existence of military forces.
In an age of nuclear weapons, he can veto our entire country by sitting in the oval office holding his breath until he turns blue to teach our enemies the Kumbaya foreign policy way. As Islamofascist missiles rain down on our citizens he will at least know that there was no war by Americans when, not only did Congress "declare war," but the POTUS refused to ask for one or fight because war is just sooooo, well, icky!!!!
Are there any planets out there where you guys might be more comfortable. I would personally drive y'all to the soace port. Take the Obamanation and paleoPaulie with you to another planet and I'll rent a limo.
See how far a sound dollar will get you if and when the USA is a radioactive ash heap.
Speaking of jokes, you would actually entrust the fate of te United States and of its people to governance by some paleopacifist wimp like Paul??? We already have Obama and that's bad enough. We don't need the Baghdad Bob of Galveston in Congress much less in the White House. If Obama and his political people thought that the Gakveston House seat could be won by a Demonrat, he would have fired Hillary and hired the paleosurrenderman as his new SOS because Paulie and Obamamessiah are on the same wavelength. Paul could do just as well on a world tour groveling and apologizing for the past and present existence of the USA. Besides, given Paulie's eccentric political career, Obamamessiah could usher in a new era of tripartisanshi*: Demonrat, "Republican" and Libertoonian.
Peace, love and dope, man!
LCSulla: You have FReepmail!
Paul would carry more weight in his comments if he wasn’t a king of pork. One of the more recent spending bills includes 33 million in pork requests from Dr. Paul; where does he think that money comes from?
The day Ron Paul apologizes for saying 9/11 was our fault I’ll start listening to him. Until then he’s a kook IMHO. I expect to see Osama’s birth certificate before then though. Yeah you can call me a Ron Paul hater. Until he apologizes. No exceptions.
King of pork, lol, you really can’t be that dumb can you? 33 million for a district that was largely distroyed by hurricane Ike, damn what a king of pork. PS, six of seven houses on my street are gone. Gone, bye, see ya later. And just about every street in my little town is like that.
9/11 was our fault just like Perl Harbor was our fault. Policies have consequences is all Paul was saying. Depriving Japan of natural resource in 1940 lead to war with Japan. Support for Israel (which I support 100%) and invading Iraq (luke warm on that one, particularly since we did not finish the job) lead to war with Islam. That is all Paul was saying. Personally I thought it was a very stupid thing to say, totally unnecessary and totally unwise. Once the enemy is defeated then examine events, not when our troops are on the ground and fighting.
I never knew that
thanks
Isn’t he the one that just said Obama would destroy the dollar. It would seem that he would see that favorably if he was consistent. I agree that it would be great to go back before Jekkyl Island, but the reality is that that will never happen with only one person talking about it in Congress.
Actually. Nevermind. HE'S CRAZY AGAIN.
So what your suggesting is that he wants the dollar destroyed so that maybe he could rebuild it from scratch? I don't think so. There was a dollar before 1913, so he just wants to go back to that.
“I agree that it would be great to go back before Jekkyl Island, but the reality is that that will never happen with only one person talking about it in Congress.”
Check out the Bill to audit the Federal Reserve (HR 1207)which now has 271 co-sponsors in the Congress, so that's at least 270 more Representatives in The House then what you thought. so much for him being the only one talking about it in Congress! pwned.
