It's really a tragedy this man has no chance.

Ron Paul, who over the weekend won the straw vote at the Republican Leadership Conference held in New Orleans, with 40% of the vote, has just released a list of 4 points that will frame his budget priorities if elected president. As Jesse Benton, Paul campaign chairman says âThe American people want and deserve someone who will tell them the truth, tell them what needs to be done, and who has an untouchable record of consistency to back it up." Whether everyone will agree with the proposed framework is unclear. However, what is true is that Paul, of all politicians on either side of center, has been the most steadfast in his message over the years, and the fringe benefit, naturally, will be the gradual elimination of Paul's arch-nemesis: the Federal Reserve.
From Ron Paul:
A four-part statement on restoring fiscal discipline
Today, 2012 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul issued a statement on what his budget priorities will be if elected. See statement below.
âAs President, I will not be able to waive a magic wand and solve all of our problems overnight. I will have to work with Congress and build consensus from the American People.
âBut, there are several things that I will do right away to strengthen the fight for Constitutional government.
âFirst, I will veto any spending bills that contribute to an unbalanced budget.
âDuring these tough times, the American people are tightening their belts and making sacrifices to make ends meet. So should government.
âSecond, I will veto any spending bill that contains funding for Planned Parenthood, facilities that perform abortion and all government family planning schemes.
âLike millions of Americans, I believe that innocent life deserves protection and I am deeply offended by abortion. It is unconscionable to me that fellow Pro-Life Americans are forced to fund abortion through their tax dollars.
âAs a Congressman, Iâve never voted for any budget that includes funding for Planned Parenthood. Instead, Iâve introduced the Taxpayersâ Freedom of Conscience Act to cut off all taxpayer funding of abortions, so-called âfamily planningâ services and international abortionists.
âThird, I will direct my administration to cease any further implementation of ObamaCare.
âAnd fourth, I will on day one of my administration begin to repeal by Executive Order unconstitutional and burdensome regulations on American business. I will be the first President to shrink the size of the Federal Register. We must create a favorable regulatory environment for U.S. business. This cannot be stressed enough.â
