Many here have seen RP's speech from 2002 giving his predictions. A new video has been made with headlines added that show just how true his predictions were. It makes a great impact. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIKTj0mUHko"]Ron Paul Predictions in Due Time YouTube - YouTube[/ame]
Good stuff, Woogs. But, who cares that Paul has been right about everything? I mean, we have the consistent man of the people, Romney, in the mix...
Yeah, that kooky whack job. They hate us cause we are prosperous and have half naked women running on our beaches. They asked us to occupy their holy land and bomb their countries for 20 years and overthrow the leaders that didn't do what we said. Ron Paul, what does he know?
Fer cryin out loud,any junior War Historian could just as easily make those juvenile predictions.War basically turns out just a few ways. With either a Victor or a stalemate.The spoils are a little harder to spell out.I don't care much for Politicians who rely on predictions. That is what Dennis Kucinich made a career of.He's right about 10% of the time.This is silliness.Ron Paul basically spent his time in Congress making idle predictions.
Anyone that has been in the political business, like Ron Paul (Yes he has been and is a professional politician), as long as he has, can make the same predictions. When are Ron Paul supporters going to stop this bs and realize that they have to support Romney if they want Obama out of office? It's really getting to be a sad thing as time goes on. Ron Paul will NEVER be president. Ever.
Sure they could. And everyone saw the housing bubble coming 6 years in advance, too. RP's idle prediction about that is in the first 3 minutes of this video.

Okay, let's just for a moment here say that Ron Paul is some political "prophet". Even if that was the case he is not going to win. Reality is we still live in a world, a system, where this stuff is fairly pre-determined. I know that lights an even bigger fire under Ron Paul supporters butts BUT in the reality that we live in the media is going to crush and bury him. Furthermore, if the media didn't crush him, his own foreign policies would. His military policy definitely would. On paper, and in speeches his whole end all wars shtick sounds great but it would KILL the economy. His brutal cutting of the military industry would make millions of more people unemployed. Maybe in 10, 20 years a Ron Paul would win in a landslide but now a days no way in hell. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. That is a fact. Do you want to see where 4 more years of Obama will take us? I don't. Reset things. If Romney becomes president (I hope so), and let's say he doesn't help the economy, and makes things worse somehow, then we can move on from there after four years of Romney. See I don't see Romney making things worse though. At the worse I see him keeping things at a plateau. With Obama God only knows how low we can go.
Dr. Paul warned about our loss of personal freedoms throughout his career. He warned about the Defense Authorization Act in his book and in speeches. Romney will lose to pbama. He has not gained any experience or strength since he lost to McCain 4 years ago.
Someone pointed out in another thread that you don't win elections by voting against someone. That's exactly what you would have with Romney...people voting against Obama. That won't excite enough people to get out and vote. And what of the Independents? You can't win an election without them. If you look back at 2008, Obama won by getting his base and by drawing in Independents and the youth vote. Republicans, on the other hand, were not excited about McCain and stayed home in large numbers. In 2012, it's Ron Paul that has people wanting to actually vote FOR someone. He also gets the Independent vote and some Democrats. You just can't say that about Romney. During this whole campaign, Romney's support has stayed flat, though he's been in first place. The GOP has been looking for the 'not Romney' guy since the beginning. Ron Paul is now showing himself to be that guy. If Romney gets the nomination, look for the same result as 2008. Ron Paul has the combination of support to beat Obama. A vote for Romney is a vote for Obama. http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1384564404001/
This is what you call a baseless claim. "He can't be elected" without a shred of evidence behind it. "The media will crush him" without a shred of evidence. Guess what, the media already took their shot at everything the have on Ron Paul, and it went no where. He is still up in numbers, and he is still climbing. Once the fake conservatives get out and stop dividing the "not romney vote", they all go to Ron. The only way people are "not electable", is if they are not on the ballot.
There was bound to be a Housing bubble eventually.Just like when Wall Street has an extended boom it's bound to go bearish.
Love your comment considering nearly all of the Economists called him an idiot/crackpot and now they're calling him a Prophet. So to say it "was bound to be a Housing Bubble..." when the rest of the World couldn't come close to predicting (Only a few did) and it should be marked off as a "Anyone could have predicted it". Well guess what... nearly everyone didn't.
