Thank you, Alex, for taking the time to find this. However, I don't hold out much hope that it will do any good vis a vis convincing Off_World that Paul's position is the opposite of Obama's. On many of the key, important issues I have, through quotes and citations, tried to show Off that the two gentlemen are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. I have been reading Ron Paul for years and admire him on many points he makes. I am almost completely opposed to what Barack Obama stands for. Yes, Paul and Obama agree on a few things, such as their opposition to the Iraq War (although they come to it from the opposite reasons). But on practically everything else, they disagree. So it was with great irritation that I have to continually read Off say that they are the same. Perhaps I am being too sensitive and should realize that most if not all of the readers on this forum don't give him any credibility any way. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Alex Stanley j_alexander_stan...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com , ShempMcGurk shempmcgurk@ wrote: Yawn.

Yawn. All of the quotes below undated or from 2007. Ron Paul's latest declarations on Global Warming? As Off already knows, Paul calls it a hoax: The greatest hoax I think that has been around for many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on [...] global warming.

Studies within the respectable scientific community have shown that human beings are most likely a part of this process. snip I strongly oppose the Kyoto treaty. Providing for a clean environment is an excellent goal, but the Kyoto treaty doesn't do that. Also, the regulations are harmful for American workers, because it encourages corporations to move their business overseas to countries where the regulations don't apply I am more than willing to work cooperatively with other nations to come up with policies that will safeguard the environment, but I oppose all nonbinding resolutions that place an unnecessary burden on the United States. When asked by Bill Maher if he thinks the Federal Government should be involved in stopping Global Warming, Ron Paul replied: Then you have to deal with the volcanoes, and you have to deal with China... so what are you going to do, invade China so they don't pollute? ... But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do what we can to slow up the emissions and stop subsidizing big oil companies. I don't like subsidizing oil companies. They've been doing that for years. We go to war to protect oil, so that we can buy more oil, and burn more oil. So I say our foreign policy contributes to global warming -- by subsidizing a policy that is deeply flawed. And that's why we're in the Middle East, to protect oil interests. When asked if efforts to slow down Global Warming should be increased, Dr. Paul replied: Yes. Because he does not support any piece of legislation not specifically authorized by the Constitution, Paul votes against most bills that involve government spending or expanded government initiatives; thus he does not seek legislation to combat the global warming. Instead, he advocates reducing emissions, halting subsidies to oil companies, and altering a war-for-oil foreign policy that in itself contributes to global warming. http://pesn.com/2007/11/05/9500456_RonPaul_on_GlobalWarming/ http://pesn.com/2007/11/05/9500456_RonPaul_on_GlobalWarming/ OffWorld
