Our Iowa Caucus Speech
“Honesty”. “Integrity”. “Consistency”. “Courage.”
How often have you been able to use those words to describe ANY national politician?
Ron Paul has been walking the walk for 30 years in congress; has NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget, a tax increase, a congressional pay raise, or to raise the debt ceiling.
He has been true to his oath of office to defend the Constitution, even when it could have cost him election, even when he stood alone in Congress.
Ron Paul has been fighting for limited, Constitutional government for decades. When Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum were still in high school; when Rick Perry was still a Democrat working for Al Gore; when Mitt Romney was still for gay marriage, abortion, and health care mandates; when Newt Gingrich was still being faithful to his first wife.
Ron Paul is a family man, married to the same woman for 54 years.
As an obstetrician he delivered over 4,000 babies, treated poor people for free and never took a dime from Medicaid.
As a veteran he served honorably during the Viet Nam war and is still dedicated to seeing that every veteran gets the honor and support they deserve.
As a congressman serving on the Foreign Affairs committee, he has shown that he understands the difference between “speak softly and carry a big stick” and going around the globe sticking your nose into every dog fight.
He understands “blowback”, the unintended consequences of secret, foreign operations. That’s why In 1997 Ron Paul could predict that U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East was going to make every American citizen a target for terrorists. He warned us again in 1998 and finally in June of 2001, just a couple of months before 9/11. No one in the government listened, and we are STILL paying the price.
Ron Paul is for a strong national defense. He isn’t going to waste our young men’s lives and our precious national resources policing the world for the U.N., nation-building and manning military bases in 130 different countries. That’s why he receives more donations from active military troops than all of the other candidates COMBINED. THEY want him for their Commander-in-Chief, and so should you.
Serving on the Financial Services committee in 2001 he predicted the housing bubble and the economic collapse. He told us what was going to happen and why SEVEN YEARS before the financial meltdown. No one listened, and we are STILL paying the price.
Ron Paul understands the economy. He is the father of the Tea Party. He understands the power of a free market and sound money. He is the only candidate who predicted this mess, and he is the only one who has the knowledge, courage and honesty to show us the way out.
He has put down in black and white EXACTLY how he would cut spending by one TRILLION dollars in the first year and balance the budget in three years.
The only thing the other candidates have given us is a lot of pretty talk and promises. If they don’t have the guts to show us their plans today, why should we trust them to to stand up to the lobbyists and pork barrel congressmen in Washington after they get elected?
Not only is he the best candidate, Ron Paul is the only one who WILL beat Obama in November.
Ron Paul gets far more votes from Independents and Democrats than any other GOP candidate. Heck, the other candidates won’t even be able to keep the Ron Paul REPUBLICAN votes.
And If you think we can beat Obama without those votes, you are kidding yourself.
No, if you want four more years of Obama, go ahead and nominate another John McCain; another Romney, Gingrich, Perry or Santorum; nominate another big government liberal with a candy-coating of conservative talking points.
But if we want to BEAT Obama, If we want to give America a REAL choice in November, a chance for REAL hope, REAL change, join me in supporting the only man who can do it, Ron Paul.
