"Newt: Counterfeit Conservative" - Ron Paul email

Below is an email from the Ron Paul campaign:

I am going to describe a candidate for you right now, and I want you to think about whether or not you would support him.

This candidate was for the individual mandate that served as the model for "ObamaCare."  He was originally for the TARP bank bailouts before he was against them.  He joined with Nancy Pelosi to promote the anti-business "global warming" agenda.

He slammed Paul Ryan's budget plan as "extreme," calling it "right wing social engineering."

You might think I am talking about Mitt Romney.  Heck, you might think I'm talking about a liberal Democrat.  But I'm not.

That candidate I'm talking about is Newt Gingrich.  He is what I like to call a "counterfeit conservative."

And I have barely even scratched the surface!

My campaign team has put together a great video that tells you more about Gingrich and his liberal positions over the years.  It tells you how he flip-flopped on a host of important issues.  

And it shows, despite his claims, he is simply not a conservative.

You can take a look at the video HERE.

You might have seen recently that Mr. Gingrich traded on his former political office to land a $1.8 million lobbying contract with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
 
Why is this so disturbing?
 
Because while these out-of-control federal agencies were ruining the housing market and causing millions of homeowners to lose their homes and life savings, Newt Gingrich was earning millions advising them.
 
At that same exact time, I was publicly declaring they needed to be stopped before they ruined the economy.
 
I guess Newt Gingrich and I have a different idea of what to do with federal bureaucracies.  I fight to rein them in and shut them down before they can do harm.  He pads his personal bank account while they wreck our economy.
 
While I was fighting environmental extremists, the out-of-control EPA, and the Soros-funded green movement, Newt Gingrich was filming commercials with Nancy Pelosi.
 
While I was fighting government bailouts, Newt was saying he would have voted FOR them.
 
Don't be fooled by the words candidates use when they are running for office.  Look hard at their records.  My record is one of true limited government, anti-Washington, D.C. conservatism.
 
Newt Gingrich has a long record of liberal appeasement, flip-flopping on key issues, and lobbying for insider millions.
 
Millions.  That's right.  Remember the individual mandate I mentioned earlier that Newt supported?  His healthcare group received nearly $40 MILLION in contributions from the healthcare industry.
 
I have rarely seen a candidate who represents so much of what is wrong with Washington and what is wrong with our political system.

We can and must demand better.
 
We must demand REAL conservative values.  We must demand a person who puts faith, family, and freedom ahead of all else.  And we must demand a candidate who has remained true to principle his entire career.
 
I believe I am that candidate, and I ask you to take a look at my Plan to Restore America at www.ronpaul2012.com.
 
You can tell I mean every word in it -- just as I've meant every word I have said in public life.  And that's something that everyone will admit, whether they agree with all of my positions or not.
 
With me, what you see and hear is what you get.  Wouldn't that be a nice change?
 
I am the only true conservative in the top tier of candidates running for the GOP nomination.  And I ask for your support. 
 
Together we can stop the counterfeit conservatives AND the liberals in the White House.  We can take back and Restore America Now.
 
For Liberty,

Ron Paul

P.S.  Whether it's flip-flopping on TARP, supporting the individual mandate that served as a model for "ObamaCare," joining with Nancy Pelosi in support of the global-warming crowd's radical agenda, or making millions off of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they helped destroy our economy, Newt Gingrich is trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

He's what I call a "counterfeit conservative."

Here's an ad my campaign put together explaining his record of supporting liberal policies.  Please take a moment to watch it.

And, if possible, contribute to my campaignas generously as you can to help me run this ad and get my message of liberty out with mail, internet advertising, and an all-out media blitz.

Newt Gingrich: Serial Hypocrisy

Ron Paul's Plan for Monetary Freedom

Newt Gingrich Getting Cozy With Nancy Pelosi on the Couch.

A Neo-Can goes over the border in attacking Ron Paul.

By Paul Mulshine

"Only in Washington could a former Walter Mondale speechwriter who was raised in Canada be permitted to pose as a conservative.

That's Charles Krauthammer, who is...making an attack on Ron Paul that is positively bizarre."

The Ten Principles of a Free Society by Ron Paul

This is the Appendix to Ron Paul's book, Liberty Defined.

1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.
4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.
5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.
6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people's money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.
7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.
8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.
9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.
10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.

Ron Paul's Greatest Interview - Gold & Silver With Mike Maloney

"Every generation has a champion, someone who will pick up the gauntlet and do battle with the Federal Reserve. From 1976 to the present, that man has been the Honorable Dr. Ron Paul."

~ Mike Maloney

Alaska Representative Don Young is reminded that he works for the taxpayer.

The arrogance of the ruling elite is really astonishing.

Ron Paul demolishes establishment shill Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation.

It really is a shame that a outwardly likeable guy like Bob Schieffer reveals that he is nothing more than mouthpiece for the power elite.  Ron Paul speaks truth to power.  They were better off ignoring him.

You need not agree with the protesters to acknowledge their Constitutional right to peacefully assemble.  This police officer should be behind bars.

Keynote Speech At Sydney Gold Symposium 14-15 November 2011 By Alf Field

..."Recently we passed the 40th anniversary of 15 August 1971, the date when the last link between currencies and gold was ended by President Nixon. This launched an era of floating “I owe you nothing” currencies. Money was what any government deemed it to be, generally something that the government could create in unlimited quantities. That system, plus the fractional reserve banking system, launched an era of ever increasing debt and credit. It was an era where debt was desirable and money lost its purchasing power.

Everyone in this room has spent their adult lives living under this system. Most have had no exposure to monetary history or what money really is. The new “Moses” generation will have to re-learn the lessons of monetary history before the world can enter a new era of sound money and stable economic growth. The impact of this generational change will be discussed later."...

New poll shows 4-way tie in Iowa as Ron Paul moves to top tier

CBS website:

The Iowa caucuses are just seven weeks away, but Republican voters in the nation's first presidential nominating state seem as torn as ever over the GOP field.

A new Bloomberg poll of likely caucus participants shows a four-way tie in Iowa, with Rep. Ron Paul joining Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain in the top tier of candidates. Underscoring the uncertainty in the race, 60 percent of respondents said they could be persuaded to back someone other than their first choice for the nomination.

The poll, conducted November 10 - 12 by the West Des Moines-based firm Selzer & Co, shows Cain in the lead with 20 percent, while Paul comes in at 19 percent. Romney wins 18 percent support, and Gingrich earns 17 percent. The margin of error is 4.4 percent.

U.S. Government Glossed Over Cancer Concerns As It Rolled Out Airport X-Ray Scanners.

Below is a thorough article on the implementation of the x-ray naked body scanners used in airports.  See the comments as well.

"Michael Chertoff, who had supported body scanners while secretary of Homeland Security, appeared frequently on TV advocating their use. In one interview, he disclosed that his consulting firm, Chertoff Group, had done work for Rapiscan, sparking accusations that he was trying to profit from his time as a government servant."
