What? lol

"Thomas Jefferson stated 'Can the liberties of a nation be sure, when we remove their only firm basis; a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God.' He clearly means we should not take the abundance of our nation in whatever form, and squander it, or take it for granted."

This lady is retarded! How can you miss the point of that quote!? He clearly means that if people stop considering their rights to be God-Given or Natural, then they will allow others to deprive them of their liberty. Where the heck is she getting that BS about 'the abundance of our nation?'

I'll give her a B- for presentation, C- for effort, an F for content, and an F for reading comprehension.

She sucks

Her voting record is horrible.
She has no business being on Daily Paul.

Talk is cheap...

in washingtondc its worthless

is there a youtube of the

is there a youtube of the remarks by Ron about NAFTA that she refers to?

I don't know of any youtube

I don't know of any youtube links to Ron Paul discussing NAFTA (though I'm sure there are some). However, I know his stance on NAFTA, CAFTA and other similar organizations is that they don't really represent "free trade", but rather "managed trade" in which usually small companies and consumers are the one that suffer and the large companies with legal teams that understand how to navigate these organizations and the rules that they put in place benefit, not from superior product or pricing, but by knowing how to work the system.

I'm interested in seeing

I'm interested in seeing that too!

Agree, she has problems, but we can still "thank her"

- I agree with many below, that she has her problems.
However, like Ron Paul says, many of these politicians
don't have deep convictions or principles---they need to hear
from us---even when they just say the right thing.

Has everyone seen Ron Paul's "message to Obama"?

I think Marcy is great on

I think Marcy is great on this NAFTA stuff and I believe she isn't an enemy. But she needs to come around about the bailouts and the stimulus. How unconstitutional is that? I'd trust her over Nancy P any day.

Someone on her staff gets it. I thought it was a wonderful

speech. Too bad about all the deaf ears it falls on.

Great headline on her homepage...

February 13: Kaptur Backs Stimulus Bill to Create Jobs and Help Millions of Unemployed Americans

What does this lady know about liberty?

Growth and hypocrisy

It would not be possible to know if she is growing or a hypocrite.

In 1976 I voted for Eugene McCarthy since I thought Carter was much too conservative. Had we gotten McGovernment (for those of you that are younger George McGovern's slogan was I want McGovernment I would have been happy). But by 1980 I voted for Clark, the Libertarian candidate. So one can grow.

I do have major issues with those that voted for the bailout or the stimulus though. These politicians must start drawing the line and showing they really stand for something and not just talk!

shes just another eggsucker

from the Ohio political pinheads.....

I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

i have yet to discover that

i have yet to discover that jefferson quote ... apparently it does not exist and is a summation of multiple quotes .. which would make it invalid .. even if the opinion is correct

Jefferson

That was nice from a democrat but what about that non-existent Jefferson quote again! I wish people stop using it, it does us disservice.

If Jefferson never said it who cares.

It is a very valid statement of the truth and the events of our demise, unless we adhere to Jeffersons advice.

And it is now entered into the official congressional record. Thank you congresswoman.

Check Out Her Vote On Stimulus Bill

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll046.xml

I seem to see her in the YEA column. Hmmm......

Nice, but...

Why did she vote for the stimulus bill after she so ardently argued against the how the bailout bill was used. I don't know what to think of these politicans anymore.

At the end of the day, none of it will matter though. Our Federal Government is in its death throws and it just keeps digging a deeper grave.

I've already told you why

But no one seems to listen. The government plays both sides to save face and make people think the government is not totally corrupt, which it is. Just think if there when no Ron Pauls, no Kucinichs, no Kapturs, no other pretend to be for the People politicians--the government would have been overthrown long ago. IT IS A FALSE HOPE EVERYONE IS CLINGING TO. This gets people behind certain politicians when they should be against them all because they are all one party against us. Divide and conquer--we are fighting amongst our fellow americans when we should be embracing each other to fight our common threat--a treasonous government. This is the level of deception and treachery we are dealing with. That is just the way it is--the truth is ugly. EVERYTHING supports my assertion. Voting records, evidence upon evidence, but no one seems to care or listen. And I am sure you will continue not to listen and carry on in candyland.

"There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one: The regeneration of the inner man."
—Tolstoy

"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."

Sorry, not buying it

"Just think if there when no Ron Pauls, no Kucinichs, no Kapturs, no other pretend to be for the People politicians"

So RP has just been acting the part for 35 years? Don't think so. Not to say I don't agree with your premise in general though.

Really

How can she vote for the stimulus and then say that? I like what she says but not what she does. It doesn't make sense.

I Agree

I think they believe we will not look at their voting records, so they can say things to build support for their name and hopefully the People will not pay attention to their actions.

Talking out of both sides of their mouth is all I see. She reminds me of Kucinich. Talks a great game, but caves to special interests.

Even the SC Governor spoke out against the stimulus, but then accepts the money.

That would be like me moaning about a homeowner bailout, but then lining up to renegotiate my mortgage. Hypocritical.

That is Why I am Trying to Exemplify Liberty

Live it and be it. Buying gold and only holding dollars needed for dollar denominated debt. I wish I would have been awake when my first credit card was issued to me, but I am digging out of that. Turnining in my social security card and stopping withholdings for it. Next stop, income taxes.

Saying you love liberty, but then not fighting for it is just pulling a Kaptur.

Nice!
