Rep. Ron Paul wins seat early Not 1 challenger filed to run against Texas' 'Mr. Constitution' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: January 21, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas – known as "Mr. Constitution" on Capitol Hill for his strict adherence to the document when voting on legislation – won't face any challengers for his House seat this year since he was the only person to file for the race. The deadline to file in his 14th Congressional District was Friday. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas The Liberty Committee, which Paul founded, pointed out the fact lawmakers need not bow to political pressure of parties or economic interests to be re-elected. Paul routinely votes against pork-barrel spending, for example, even opposing potential projects in his own district. "There is one member of Congress who has proven time and again that consistently upholding the U.S. Constitution is actually good politics," said the Liberty Committee's executive director, Kent Snyder. "Contrary to the myth of the political elite, Congressman Paul not only gets re-elected, but does so by an increasing percentage every election." Reported the Baytown Sun newspaper: "In the 14th District ... only incumbent Republican Ron Paul of Surfside had filed by the deadline. Paul ... is noted for his strict constructionist viewpoints and voting record – that is, he opposes any legislation that is not expressly authorized by the Constitution." Said Snyder, "The political elite in Washington will ignore this myth-exploding event. The Establishment media won't report it. But Americans throughout our nation who believe in the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence and codified by the Constitution of the United States should know about it." The Liberty Caucus is a group of 22 U.S. House members who share Paul's commitment to the Constitution. The Liberty Committee has tens of thousands of members across the nation who support the organization's work. Paul is a former Libertarian presidential candidate who has held his House seat since 1997. He is a medical doctor by trade who has delivered more than 4,000 babies in his lifetime.
__________________ Warm Regards, Trey Brister Nature abhors a vacuum and religion is a powerful civilizing and socializing force. It is not perfect, but at least it does not deny human nature. Most leftest ideology is based upon the idea that evil is the result of social conditions/injustice, and simple misunderstandings. Man's nature is seen as both inherently good and infinitely malleable. It is believed that man can be made into something better through education and other social endeavors. The truth is that human nature is not inherently good and neither is terribly changable. Any system that denies the truth about human nature will be the victim of it. Communism is only one of the more horrific examples of this fundamental truth. I understand why you're a socialist. You want to make the world a better place. What you need to understand is that not everyone can be helped and those who can are best served by providing them with the opportunity to help themselves. |
