Board 8 > What if Judge Napolitano was awesome? (Official Ron Paul 2012 topic)

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I am now officially a delegate to my county's Republican party convention in Washington state. I attended the precinct caucus today just intending to vote and wound up accidentally getting elected as a delegate. <_< Support in my precinct is closely divided between Ron Paul and Santorum, with Gingrich and Romney trailing far behind. I guess Smartmuffin is right about Romney after all! Amusingly, the argument Romney supporters gave for him was literally, "He is the most electable candidate, and I want a Republican, any Republican, in office."

It's different for every state. Gotta go to the website for your state's Republican party and read up.

So do you vote for delegates during the primary, or is it on another day entirely? I should probably look this up for my state...

I'm aware of how he and everyone else feels about all the issues. I've done extensive research on all the candidates and how their ideas and stances would impact both me and the country as a whole, short term and long term. You'll find out who I found to be the best choice in less than 5 hours, just be sure you show up to the announcement!

"John Maynard Keynes' awoke in the middle of the night to find that his electrical wiring had caught fire, and half his house was up in flames. As the firemen arrived, Keynes urgently told them not to put the fire out right away. He explained that the economy was in a depression, his house was insured, and it would provide much-needed jobs to people if they had to rebuild the whole thing. The firemen told him they couldn't do that, because it would risk the other houses in the neighborhood. Keynes replied to them: "Well, that's just the multiplier effect."

I've been thinking about it, and I've decided that it's good for us to keep the dollar and not go on a gold standard for as long as the world will let us. The main problem with fiat money is that the government can print as much of it as they want. But as long the dollar is the reserve currency of the world, the currency all debt is denominated in, that's not a bad thing for us. We can always and easily honor our government debt simply by printing more dollars. It's sort of like having all the gold in the world in a gold standard world.

Now, eventually I expect other countries will stop using the USD as the reserve currency if our government does that. But until that day comes, we have nothing to lose by having the world reserve currency instead of being on equal footing with everyone else.

--
Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

Short version: the US Dollar is now what gold used to be, the universal currency of the world. Since our government controls it, it's like our government has discovered the secrets of alchemy. If someone did discover alchemy, of course, the world would also abandon gold in the long run.

And hey, if any nation ever tries to NOT use the dollar as a reserve currency, well that's what Predator drones are for, m i rite?

Ron Paul comes across as reasonably knowledgeable (as always). But the reporter interviewing him does not.

Ron Paul: "If a country like Iraq or China stops using the dollar as the international standard currency, we might be in trouble."
Interviewer: "Derp, you lost me. I think you might be too smart for me. Are you saying there's a problem with overspending in the US government????"

Good show for Ron Paul in Virginia. He finally broke 40% somewhere! That's reassuring to see, and proves he isn't just a fringe candidate.

You must mean Washington state because Ron Paul is going to take his 8% of the public and ruin Mitt Romney out of spite for the Republican party.

Ron Paul is smart enough to know that the difference between Obama and Romney is statistically insignificant.

--

And also to know that blocking Romney for Obama is pointless and counterproductive, including to himself and future libertarian candidates.

Wow Romney totally beasted MA. He probably even got the majority of the votes before all the corruption/fraud!

Also, dat 40% Ron Paul in VA, best state ever for sure. And the win in Charlottesville by only 30 votes, one of which was mine.

I like how Super Tuesday was supposed to make Romney the "inevitable", but we have a near middle split between him and Santorum again, and RP is very strong in the polls too. This is less certain than it was before.

Well Santorum and Gingrich may as well not have bothered in MA. No room for their brand of social conservative there. Indeed, very few people who even register as Republicans- it's like 50% independent to 40% Democrat to 10% Republican. Romney and Paul were the only viable options there, and Massachusetts is known for embracing big government, so no surprise Romney won big.
