From the Boca Raton News, back on Nov. 4th 1988, when Rand Paul was Ron Paul’s aide-de-camp, comes this-

“Most regulatory agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration, would be eliminated .”

    Hey Ben,

    Do tell what you do at the Hellfire Club, and how I can be a member. It sounds like fun.

    If your not really Ben, you have no idea what I am talking about.

    how come everything cited on this website is from “1988″ at least use out of text quotes from this decade. I for one would approve of drastically shrinking the FDA. If I want to drink raw milk the government shouldn’t be able to stop me. Raw milk is much better tasting and better for you.

    not to mention all of the other ways that it drives up the costs of prescriptions and food. As if the companies providing drugs and food are more afraid of the FDA than a class action lawsuit for unsafe products.

    Trust me I run a business and I am much more concerned with an employee lawsuit for unsafe working conditions than the off chance that OSHA will inspect me and slap my wrist. I always insure a safe work environment for my workers even with out regulations.

    all the FDA does is suck up more of the peoples money and prevent companies from having competition in the market place.

    Yeah, we sure don’t want to get rid of the FDA. We need more useless bloated bureaucracies stopping dying patients from receiving experimental medicines, driving up the cost of health care, and yet doing very little to actually protect us from anything.

    Oh, yeah, and let’s hope they can hurry up and outlaw vitamins.

    The only kooks I see on this site are the big government leftist “republicans” running it.

    The FDA wants to ban raw oysters from the gulf to save people from Vibrio vulnificans food poisoning. This is like putting barriers alongside the road to protect people from getting hurt jaywalking.

    I guess we should thank you for at least posting the real conservatism of Paul supporters like myself. Registered Republican, Louisville.

  7. FreedomIsKooky Says:

    Hell yea! Freedom is kooky – we need big government agencies to protect us because we’re not as smart as the politicians. Thanks for making this great site, you’re totally not wasting your time. More government now!

  8. RegulationsAreForLiberals Says:

    WOW! A conservative who actually wants to downsize the Federal Government. How kooky!

  9. Freedom4America Says:

    FDA is a total waste. They pass poisons and that does not bother you? Aspartame was passed by FDA even when they knew a form of antifreeze was used to create it. How many other products have they passed that have carcinogens in them?

    Using names such as Benjamin Franklin and John Quincy Adams, our forefathers, would usually be patriotic but the posters using these names are anything but patriotic.

    These 2 posters wish to destroy America and our dollar because they believe in what has been and still is taking our country down.

    If you think we are just using a name, hence Freedom4America, we can assure you we have been called this ever since Dr. Ron Paul ended our apathy and we voted for the very first time. Our email has even been Freedom4America@gmail.com for years now. Unlike these 2 IMPOSTOR posters we really do live our name.

    What is up with this hard to read font anyways? You do not want people to reply so you make the font hard to read?

    Dr. Rand Paul is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE and a REAL PATRIOT unlike the creator of this website.

    Actually we are glad you put this website up because it will further hurt Grayson’s campaign and create Money Bombs after Money Bombs for Dr. Rand Paul.

    Even so we still feel it is our duty to contact the head of RNC, Mr. Steele, and let him know how you are hurting the Republican Party of Kentucky by having such a BS site up. Your site will just drive even more Republicans from the party. Who knows, you may actually be working for the DNC.

    We send an email out to over 80,000 people daily and we will be sure to send this site out so we can attract even more Patriots to Dr. Rand Paul’s campaign.

  10. John Quincy Adams Says:

    Seeing what you Paul kooks are posting is making me turn over in my grave. Nice spam Freedom4America. More like Kooky4Kentucky.

  11. John Quincy Adams Says:

    Also F4A, how many of those 80,000 live in Kentucky? I’m willing to bet very few. I doubt Mr. Steele will take your call.

  12. Benjamin K Says:

    Mr. Adams,

    It’s odd that you chose as your pseudonym one of the largest champions of Rand Paul’s non-intervention theory of American foreign policy.

    Irony.

  13. is your head attached to your neck? Says:

    And I find it ironic that Benjamin K or Freedom4America didn’t answer Mr. Adams question. Could it be the fact that Freedom4America, despite claiming 80,000 followers, has only 3 followers on Twitter. Or that their URL linked to a Ron Paul Web site. Oh yea, very unbias. Who is really hiding the truth about their candidate?

  14. Bill Stimpson Says:

    Keep the FDA off the farm. I grew up on a Kentucky farm. I say ABOLISH the FDA that way I can remove my Keep the FDA off the farm bumper sticker forever as I will not need it. Thanks MIKE yet another reason to vote for RAND PAUL
