Ron Paul: McCain friends with Feingold, Kennedy

Yeah lots of republicans will vote for him. Sure. If only Ron Paul were friends with sanity.

I watched his speech, and I felt the same way- CPAC doesn't really seem to want McCain. It was nice to hear another voice and I hope that Paul and Huckabee continue to bring options so we don't get stuck with McWarMonger.

Apparently Paul does not write out his speeches ahead of time and people don't review them and give him pointers otherwise he would not say the things he does. His campaign managers are as much to blame for his poor showing to date as the media (which has him in a blackout zone). And so the GOP nominee will be a pro-war nutjob that the Democrats will have a field day with.

Amazing words from Ron Paul. Thank you for covering this!

John McBush has hoped aboard the "flip-flop express", now that Plastic Mitt is gone that makes McCain the biggest two-faced liar left in the Presidential race.

Gotta love all the complete morons cheering for war. Oh how primal, oh how simplistic, oh how evil. Get a clue people, bombs don't solve anything.

Hillary supporters must have showed up to give McCain some confidence.

Conservatives won't vote for him. Period.

Amazing how the media once again hasn't even mentioned Dr.Paul's speech.
One would think that we Americans should be shown ALL of the candidates, as opposed to being force fed the media's views.
Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate who is talking about real changes as opposed to just spouting the word "change".

Some people will never want to believe the truth...

I used to believe the lies about Irag and 9/11 but after the big immigration/amnesty scam they tried to shove down our throats I started to open my eyes.

I now know who is speaking the truth and his name is Dr. Ron Paul!!

It will be good for Ron Paul to stick around and remind everyone of the traditional conservative values McCain has so such contempt for.

But Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11! Hopefully with Romney out of the race, more people will be able to hear what Ron Paul has to say. I doubt the MSM will change their ways but I have a bit of faith left in the citizens of America.

Yeah well the truth is not always what you want to hear. THE WAR IN IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.

Bush said it himself in front of the entire world RIGHT HERE!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

I respect and admire Dr. Ron Paul and hope with everything I have he can win the general election.

Iraq DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 ----So what was the problem with him saying that. It's been proven over and over there is/was no connection. Dr. Paul is the only one with enough nerve to state THE TRUTH.

Thank goodness there is someone left to vote for!
Go Ron Paul

Thanks for posting a good article and allowing Dr. Paul to share some of his message. I appreciate it. If more people understood the fundamental issues tearing our country apart, they would be knocking down Dr. Paul's door.

It's obvious Paul is the only conservative running, but Bush made too many people believe that if they don't support the war in Iraq, they aren't Republicans. Pssssh!

Amen. Ron Paul was always the only Republican in the race. It's about time that some would pick up the message and support Dr. Paul. Look a little deeper and you'll see that he is right in regards to Iraq as well.

Now, the Republicans have a choice: either a Jesus-for- V.P. Preacher or a war-hungry Rambo (who comes pre-packaged with that one-time Liberal Democrat, then Independent, now Republican chickenhawk, Lieberman). Ron Paul is, and has been, the only rational choice for authentic no-war, small government, conservatives.

What, that's it? Paul went on for a while after the Iraq/9-11 remarks, which were about in the middle of his speech. He picked up steam again, and seemed to regain the crowd long before his talk ended. ;)

go RON PAUL // YOU WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES/// VOTE RON PAUL

Paul must stay in the race, and become a broker at the convention, for the purpose of thwarting the neocon plan to use McCain to gain the White House. He can only do so, if he remains a Republican.

Ron Paul is more of a messenge then the messenger - liberty must prevail or else al qaeda won

I do think that Dr. Paul needs to adjust his speeches to include smaller doses of reality. as long as we have the support of those who also want out of the war, it doesn't matter at this point whether we all agree on whether Iraq had it coming or not. Once he's president then it matters. But for now, I'd like to see our guy address more mainstream concerns as well, such as the solutions and how beneficial they would be. Being an economic expert himself, he may be caught up in his concerns that we understand the problem; but most people just want their heaters to work, they don't much care how they work. they want the good news that the cold is a thing of the past and will stay that way.
I'd love to see Napolitano hook up w/our doc. But what ever happens, I am with the guy to the bittersweet end...win or lose, he's on the right track and I want to be on the righteous and truly patriotic side of history when its all said and done.

This Republican Party must come to the realization that McCain or Huckabee will result in a devastating loss come November. We must reinvent the wheel if we don't want turn the American people into inept dependents of the nanny state. Ron is the only one who has a chance. That's the irony, that’s the slight of hand, that’s secret weapon, and Ron knows it. The party leaders are the ones who created the environment that has led to the average republican voting for people like McCain and Huckabee. They can either take the national defeat that will come from it, or they can get behind Paul. And when they do, they will see the party as a whole get behind Paul, turning away from socially conservative liberals like McCain and Huckabee. They have the power to flip this whole thing upside down, and it was obvious to me during Paul’s speech that he was gunning for exactly that. Paul's the only one who can steal Obama votes, and Hillary would be left with only a few social party members to support her after Paul pulls the moderate vote away from her. The American people want out of the war, and they want a real answer to the economy. The whole thing has Paul's name written all over it.

Ron Paul is the ONLY conservative left. Huckabee is a fiscal liberal, and is McCain a conservative in anyway?

I can't see it!

It's important for Americans to take a long hard look at the whole Iraq War issue.

Ron Paul agrees that the War On Terror is a real threat however, Iraq is not our enemy, rather radical islam and it's supporters are so, It's important that we create a strategy that identfies who our enimies are, where they are, then go after them. This thing about "parking" our military in Iraq, as targets, rather than using our military to seek out and destroy our enemiy, is costing us lives, and money.

It's interesting how some Americans think that our Military is just something you can control based upon an emotional thought fueled by the corporate elite media.

America, ask yourself why more military men and women support Ron Paul than any other candidate. If you have a choice between listening to the men and women in the military who are in Iraq, rather than some politian, who ya' gonna choose ?

Wake up America, take a long hard look at our current strategy in Iraq, please !!

If the claims of "crazy" were real, I would ask why people question the sanity of Ron Paul and his supporters when all they are doing is saying "follow the law" (i.e., the Constitution). But the claims of "crazy" are not well-reasoned comments, they're just emotional vomit from people afraid to admit that, regardless of who wins or "can" win, Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate this year who really stands for honest Republican values.

Is the author Mr. Silva intimating that conservatives believe Iraq had something to do with "9/1" [sic]?

When the "crowd was starting to part ways" with Paul after his declaration that “Iraq had nothing to do with 9/1’’[sic] - is the assertion that the crowd believes otherwise?

A drowning man grasping at anything that floats. Too bad it's a ☁...

Watch out for people like the first commenter here named "jeff". He doesn't want you to look any deeper into Ron Paul because he's "crazy".

Ron Paul is crazy like Thomas Jefferson. He's crazy like James Madison. He's crazy because he believes in limited government, low taxes, and individual freedom and responsibility.

Crazy...

This is where Mark Silva's reporting becomes an expression of his personal bias - "But this is where he started to lose his audience: “Iraq had nothing to do with 9/1’’ The Paulites in the hall were happy, but the rest of the crowd was starting to part ways with a Republican who has sharply parted ways with most of the candidates."

In fact, faced with 100 years in Iraq and the consequent certainty of a draft, this conservative audience was riveted to Dr. Paul's speech.

Mccain in WhiteHouse will only expedite the fall of US Empire in humiliating way that Bush initiated. After Fall of US Empire, the rest of the world will get chance to talk about the genocides US did in Iraq, Vietnam etc (Like World talks about Turkey's genocide in Armenia after so many years of fall of ottoman)....

From the beginning of this historic grassroots effort, through today, Dr. Ron Paul has shown that he is a true Patriot with fundamental beliefs that appear to be unwavering. He says he's a man of his convictions and has the track record (in politics and life) to support it.

My message and plea to Dr. Paul and all of the supporters of this movement would be to stay the course, because if we don't our opportunity to have an impact on American history will be lost. I speak from the learned experience of being a delegate at the Missouri state convention, for Pat Buchanan in 1996, and the total loss of hope in and respect for someone I believed to be a man of 'conviction'. Mr. Buchanan "threw in the towel" and surrendered everything to the 'conservative John McCain' of the day Bob Dole.

There are many positive differences I see in this years campaign as it relates to THIS opportunity; Buchanan wasn't left standing as 1 f 3 candidates remaining from a formidable group of 11 when he bowed down; his grassroots effort took place before it was clear to the masses that the GOP had turned it's back on the platform becoming eletist & moderate (on the verge of liberal) and he didn't have the financial backing or internet support that exists for Ron Paul in 2008.

I pray that we all have the wisdom to look at our past and LEARN from it. 'There's your answer' for those that ask why waste your vote, who's votes were wasted in 1996? Those that voted for Bob Dole, because he could win, and mine along with thousands of others that believed Pat Buchanan was true to his 'convictions'(?) It's no wonder Buchanan failed miserably in 2000, he didn't and probably couldn't understand that his supporters of 4 years prior were truly convicted and wouldn't stand for anything less when it came to their votes.

CONVICTION - an unshakable belief, something worth dying for and when faced with death holding true.
- A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. -Mahatma Gandhi-
- Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your convictions. -Dag Hammarskjold-
- You must stick to your conviction, but be ready to abandon your assumptions. -Denis Waitley-
- For a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights. -B.R.Ambedkar-
- When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that. -Barbara Boxer- (even Barbara knows what it means)
- Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct. -Thomas Carlyle-
- Mix a conviction with a man and something happens. -Powell Clayton-

I for one am excited, not because I see a Ron Paul victory on the horizon (though I continue to pray and believe for it) but because I have an opportunity to fulfill my obligation as a Christian first and American citizen second, to cast my precious vote and full fledged support behind a movement such as this.

Dr Paul . . . Keep up the fight for what’s right and God’s speed to all of us in the fight for the heart and soul of our country, let LIBERTY reign!!!

Will it take a full-fledged depression or run-away inflation before Conservatives realize that the war is largely to blame for the collapsing dollar and economy. Throughout history, wars have always led to big government. These middle-eastern wars are no different. Will it take another 4 years of economic rot and government expansion before they wake up?

For a great satire on the president, the mainstream media, and the war on terror, see this YouTube music video from the international award-winning zombie musical feature film, "Song of the Dead." (www.songofthedead.com)It' stars horror movie veteran Reggie Bannister (Phantasm, Wishmaster, Bubba Ho-tep) as the president of the U.S. The filmmaker, Chip Gubera, is giving a share of his profits from DVD sales to the Ron Paul campaign.

Romney is not fundamentally different than McCain. There are differences between the two but they are ever so slight. No matter how you slice it, Romney's solution in Massachusetts for health care was more government intervention, not less. It was not a true free market approach to health care and it would only have served to line the pockets of well-entrenched industries, just like Bush's Medicare reform bill ultimately benefited the pharmaceutical industry.

Dr. Ron Paul... the only pro-life, conservative left in the Republican primary... imagine that.

Proposed campaign slogans:

End Blowback
Vote Ron Paul

Vote for Freedom
Vote for Ron Paul

Stop the Wars
Vote Ron Paul

Keep your Liberty
Vote Ron Paul

Stop Inflation
Vote Ron Paul

Fix Our Border
Vote Ron Paul

Look for Ron Paul to do very well in the upcoming Washington caucuses. The war is very unpopular in the Northwest, even among Republicans.

It's sad to hear Rush and Hannity say they wish there were a principled conservative candidate to vote for, when there has been all along -- Ron Paul. Apparently they think continuing to occupy Iraq is more important than trying to promote their conservative principles.

Again, for those who haven't figured it out: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq was ruled by a secular dictator, one we formerly supported as a counterweight to Islamic-ruled Iran. There were no al Qaeda in Iraq until after we invaded and destroyed Saddam's government.

Invading and occupying Iraq hasn't made us safer, it has convinced the less radical Islamic people that the more radical ones are right, that we are an imperial power who wants to conquer them and force our values on them. It was exactly the response bin Laden was hoping for.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_A77N5WKWM

Watch and see. Mark you need to get with the truth. just listened to our president agree with Ron Paul about 9/11

What is so wrong with saying Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11? It didn't which has been proven time and time again. That day (9/11) was the turning point for the end of this country. The "New Pearl Harbor" that the PNAC boys desired. Wake up America!

Republicans don't like Mccain cause he supports illegal immigration and has crossed the aisle one to many times.

Republicans don't like Ron Paul cause he's not a bloodthirsty warmonger.

The hell with the Republican Party, it deserves to BURN.

Ron Paul speaks the truth about economics, Iraq, McCain and the rest of the political machine. America this is your one chance for something truly different and someone who is on the same page as the founding fathers. Vote for him!

Dan Hill,
Nice post.

I am not a Republican but I joined the Republican party to vote for the only sensible candidate, Ron Paul. I am turning my democratic friends to the Republican party to vote for "real change", Ron Paul is bringing new people to the party, do you conservatives even care?? Your party is about to split and you argue about who is more conservative. This election is bigger than republicans, democrats, its about being American. There are laws in place that are undermining our national sovereignty, and the Patriot Act which undermines our civil liberties. Ron Paul is the only telling us the truth.
Ron Paul has the most military support than any other candidate combined. What does that tell us? He has the largest grass roots campaign, he always returns money from his Congressional budget, he believes that we can run our own lives, he doesn't want to run them for us. I urge all concerned Americans to vote for the only candidate that loves America, and has many years of proving it. Ron Paul.

Mr. Silva,
Thanks for covering the event and providing your first-hand account. It would be easy to discount Dr. Paul following the poor showing on Tuesday, as many other news outlets have chosen to do.
Thankfully, he is still fighting on and providing those curious enough a legitimate alternative to McCain and Huckabee.

Peace be with you.

The facts support Paul's position that Iraq had nothing to do with 911. But a large percentage of Americans believe that it did even though it's totally false! Let's not forget either that the Bush administration LIED at least 935 times in their case for war against Iraq, according to The Center for Public Integrity report entitled "Iraq: The War Card, Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War" which any reasonable person can read at:
http://www.publicintegrity.org/WarCard/
Americans are such sheeple relying on the Mainstream Media to make their decisions and beliefs for them. Makes me sad...

War Monger Senor Juan McAmnesty will be crushed in November by his frineds on the other side.....adios Juan

Ron Paul is the only one I've ever heard speak straight from the heart. He doesn't have a bunch of stooges writing every word he says and never flip flops... actual integrity. I'm just sad Media is controlled by other forces and refuse to acknowledge him.

Yeah, Ron Paul is against the war. He's also against public schools, clean water and air. Oh, and he's a racist and a homophobe. I think if he actually did win, his supporters would be appalled when he took away their favorite 'entitlement.'

Ron Paul is the leader that we need. He's not afraid to tell the truth even when he knows it's unpopular among the people he's trying to win over. The truth hurts sometimes.

Hopefully, more conservatives will begin to realize that the premise of the Iraq War was laced with liberalism and that although our cause may have been motivated by good intentions, it is helping to pave our road to hell.

This country needs another political party or two if our only choices are a Democrat Democrat and a Republican Democrat. Or put another way, a liberal Democrat or a liberal Republican.

GO RON PAUL!

From the US Veterans Dispatch: “Regardless of all the obvious signs pointing to McCain’s PTSD, the one outstanding fact is that McCain, by his own admission, broke under the stress of captivity and tried to kill himself.” McCain is broken, is part of the broken system and will only go on to break this once great nation. Our greatest threat is bankruptcy and this person does not have a plan. He is focused on phantom threats and boogeymen that will help to keep moving what Bush has started. Since Impeachment is off the table at all costs, with the current Congress completely negligent in their current duties in invoking the process, are you willing to place your future and the future of your children in the hands of this man?

Ron Paul is out only hope for turning the country back onto its constitutional principles. He is the only sane candidate we have. Thank you Ron for being smart enough to remain true to your ideals - it takes guts and intelligence.

There all CFR'S people, except Ron. Don't you get it? Go to Dr. Pauls site and click on JFK! If you can't figure this out, you deserve to be a slave!

As a strong non-beliver in politics till now.I can and will say that if we don't have to let our children and grandchildren become slaves to this government any longer for Ron Paul has got the message out there.And as free people we need [no have to] take the ball and run with it.If not for ourself's for the one's we love and care about,not to mention this once great nation of our's.May God Have Mercy On Our Souls

I will be with Dr. Paul until the end.
Let's get him in the White House

Its nice to see so much Paul support. I looks like people are noticing what he has to say and wondering why the media has not presented them with the option of voting Paul.

Remember Reagan lovers, Reagan campaigned for Ron Paul in the 80's. His ideas mirror Reagan's.

I agree. Ron Paul is the only Republican who can beat the Dems in a national election.

No Republican will receive my vote if Ron Paul is not on the ballot. Although I will consider writing him in if it comes to that!

Ron Paul is a sound honest man and a true patriot looking out for the good of our nation.

A NEW HOPE
We all have been living a nightmare. A vision D. Eisenhower warned of in his 1961 farewell address to the nation. In his address, Eisenhower warned of the corruption of our government, our society, and our culture by the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. It seems that, as a nation, we have not listened. Eisenhower’s dire vision has become our reality. And from this fearful dream, this nation is waking. Our eyes are opening to the truth collectively for the first time. WE THE PEOPLE are finding that we have been subjugated, placated into ignorance and fear, lied to by the very people we have entrusted to preserve and protect our rights, liberties, and our constitution. Many will turn away in fear of truth and close their eyes once again. To open our eyes to this reality, is to also understand that we are all responsible for it as well. complacency and dependence upon the machine keeps THE PEOPLE in line because it is convenient and safe. We have sold our souls. We have as a nation let this happen to ourselves.
My heart breaks for the people of this nation. Our government wages war upon our freedoms, liberties, and our constitution. I watch our republic’s destruction, not to the sound of guns or bombs, but to the sound of thunderous applause of those held captive by terrified patriotic blindness, guided by the propaganda of fear, as we give our rights and even the lives of our fellow man for the profit of the corrupt. A fear that is erasing our great history of freedom and repeating itself 70 years later with another dictatorship of war, under the guise of homeland security and the protection of the people.
BUT THERE IS STILL HOPE.
With love and openness, we can overcome ignorance and fear. It is our right as the people, and my duty as a United States MARINE written into our constitution by our founding fathers, entrusted to us, by the people, to ensure that our liberty, freedom, and the constitution never again become the subjugation of the corruption that we have wrought upon ourselves. We must take back our country, and give it to the people. So let us open our hearts, take responsibility, and make our HOPE become our reality. Lets begin REVOLUTION. His name
Dr. Ron Paul

I find it odd that McCain rolled his eyes and chuckled every time Paul spoke at the debates as though Paul was a nut. Yet McCain has chosen to steal Ron Paul's economic advisor Donald Luskin. Who is the nut now? Paul for his economic ideas or McCain for absconding with one of Paul's ( a nut according to him) staff members. It is sad to see Republicans go neocon nuts and foam at the mouth for more war. I was wary about the war at the beginning but it seemed unpatriotic not to support the president. Now years later with my husband constantly deployed, muslim extremism growing and no WMD's found, I realize the reasons for war were a deliberate lie. I respect John McCain. He knows what it is to sacrifice for his country. But Paul is the true, old school Republican, McCain is not.

Waiting for Dr. Paul's speech to the CPAC all afternoon, I was sooo disappointed that it was not to be found on Cable News channels. Even Fox News, the most Republican-oriented channel, had Neil Caputo interviewing Clint Eastwood, and they barely tip-toed around the name of Ron Paul. CNN had its usual assortment of news, but not a mention of Paul or his speech. MSNBC had its blond anchorwoman interviewing Julie Mason of the Houston Chronicle (a TX paper), and they were having a hilarious time laughing when a segment of Ron Paul's speech came on, apparently by mistake, while they were discussing Huckabee.

If this country gets into 100 years of war with McCain at the helm, the media will have to explain that to our descendants. They are enabling the future to suit the warmongers. Who are the bloodthirsty people behind the media curtain?

There is plenty of room in the Ron Paul Tent for Romney supporters. Ron Paul stands for the traditional conservative values of small government, personal responsibility and a strong defense.
http://www.nolanchart.com/article2560.html

GO RON PAUL!!
GO RON PAUL!!
GO RON PAUL!!
GO RON PAUL!!
GO RON PAUL!!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO WIN!
HE'S GOING TO WIN!!
RIGHT ON~~ PRESIDENT PAUL!!
Please VOTE RON PAUL to END the war for us and them!!
P.S.THANKS FOR THE RON PAUL COVERAGE!! We need MORE!!

Looks like the long-shot Paul is the only choice for real conservatives. The base hates McCain and Huck for their socialst leanings...that leaves only one choice...at least for me anyway. So, we pull out of Iraq...so what. We save our nation and our party with Paul. The American Conservative magazine endorsed Paul, why shouldn't we.

Facts of life:

McCain sewed up the Republican nomination.

Paul is irrelevant.

Unless you like Obama or Hilary, stop whining and vote for McCain.

Sounds like Ronny is turning into a 'War Libertarian'.

Paul gets like 3% to 7% votes in most cases. That means even his own supporters don't actually go out and vote for him. He needs to bow out and focus on his congressional race.

I wish ron paul would focus on how the war is killing the US, and explain his views on less spending so we can save the dollar.
He needs to get dirty! McCain blabs on about his time in Nam, but they call him "songbird" McCain- He is a RAT.He committed TREASON, and he stopped the efforts of saving 2000 POWs. ...google songbird.It may be the year of the RAT for the Chinese New Year, but I don't want one in the White House!

It seems most Americans prefer being mushrooms and fed MSM BS 24/7.

Ron Paul voted For the invasion in Afghanistan where the Taliban and Al Quida were known to be and I believe most Americans would agree it was the right thing to do.

Ron Paul voted AGAINST the invasion of Iraq and I believe most Americans see the wisdom in that vote.

He would protect us by brining our troops home and puting them on our borders where the real threat to our safety from terrorist maybe sneaking in a dirty bomb.

He has my vote and my absolute confidence he will do what it akes to protect our country here instead of protecting other countries borders.

Ron Paul is this nation's only hope as a presidential candidate, republican or democrat, to put the brakes on a runaway federal government. He understands that civil and religious liberty lie in limited government which translates into limited taxation, sound monetary policies for economic stability, and personal responsibility for one's family, education, and faith. We are on the verge of demise as a nation (morphing to North American Union and the Amero currency) if he doesn't win since no other candidate seems to truly understand the God-given fundamentals for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as represented in his Comprehensive Economic Revitalization Plan, his proved Congressional record, and his position letters. His personal life is a resounding witness of a Christian who understands the Scriptures and lives by them. He’s the man for this critical hour in the USA. HE DESERVES THE VOTE OF TRUE CONSERVATIVES.
Thank you conservative Americans for helping him to overcome the startling and appalling un-American media blackout and discrimination against an honorable, ten-term Congressman. By the way he is correct about the Iraq war, but the truth hurts.

There is only one republican running for the presidency, that is Ron Paul. The only republican or democrat for that matter who cares about this country is Ron Paul. I am sick of all the posturing, the same old empty promises, and lies. I know Ron Pauld speaks the truth. How refreshing, yet how sad the major media has silenced such an honorable presidential candidate.

McCainnedy? I'm a die-hard conservative and I would sooner vote for Hillary than for McCain. At least she's somewhat honest about being a liberal. Now with Romney out, Paul's the only conservative choice.

If McAain and Huckabee are ever in the White House we"ll not be in Iraq one hundred years, we,ll be there until Jesus Christ returns.

Its amazing to think that the Conservative movement thinks it owns the Republican Party, as if the Party needs to goose-step in line with CPAC's "Kampf".
These are registered Republicans selecting John McCain. There must be a reason. Perhaps they have seen that the country has become polarized thanks to ultra-conservative ideals.

Ron Paul may be the answer to CPAC, but he can run again under the Libertarian Banner.. Perhaps the Know-Nothing Party needs to be resurrected to appeal to Nativists.

I know Reagan was known for being able to compromise and work with Congress to get his agenda through... McCain has those skills.

Very inspiring speach by Ron Paul today! "Live within our means" that's exactly what we need. Less government and more free market enterprise will bring the jobs and economy back!

Huck- -- He doesn't need a speech! He's a man of character and speaks total truth. All knowledgeable people understand this.

I completely agree that Ron needs to temper some of his speeches. I believe that he gets off on a tangent too often and even though it is of great concern, loses the viewers in the process. I blame the MSM for this because they give him such little time to express his views. Maybe if they gave him more air time he wouldn't have to stuff all of that information into one statement. Maybe his managers should address this situation and tailor the statements in advance since we already know that he will be allocated a trivial amount of time to state his case.

With that said, GO RON PAUL!

I have a question here about something Ican't understand. Dr. Paul I thought was suppose to have a strong showing in west virgina. How can it be that he had absolutly 0 votes in that state? C'mon no way. Whats going on here?

If the republicans don't pull it together here and circle the wagons we'll be talking about how bad nationalized health care system is next year. Get it together and vote McCain or prepare for your taxes to rise as quickly as the dollar falls.
very truly yours,
A small government conservative with very few choices.

I rpefer fiscal responsibility to fixcal conservatism. This is an interesting series, interviewing the economic advisers to various presidential cnadidates last week:
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/projects/project_display.php?proj_identifier=2008/01/28/econ_advisers

I prefer Austan Goolsbee's plan to any of the rest.

Hey Jeff -

Wake up friend. The blinders on the side of your eyes have been placed there by folks who want you in a box. The earlier you admit it, the faster we'll throw of the yoke of these real loonies in DC who want to control our lives and the world as a whole.

It is hard to believe that the Republican Party would just just throw this election away.
It is a long way to November. I'll bet that there will be some major surprises until that time.

Once again this is a story on a mainstream news outlet's 'blog' section. The conservatives that want to hear this message that don't know Paul's platform still won't hear it. The Baltimore Sun is owned by the Tribune Company who has a chairman on the CFR, BG David L. Grange, USA (Ret.).

We Republicans have let the neo-conservatives take control of leadership of the Republican Party and the nation. You might say we have pooped in our own nest.

I mean when Joseph Isadore "Joe" Lieberman who ran as a Democratic Vice-President with Al Gore only eight years now is stumping for McVain. Hello!! Is any body home in the Republican Party.

Since how is wasting $500,000,000,000.00 in a sand pile across the pond considered conservative and good for national security vs. having an open border and giving amnesty to 20,000,000 illegal aliens. As someone that lives dead center of the United States with illegal aliens at every turn I don’t see the threat coming from over the pond but from crossing the Rio Grande. So what if you still think we need to be at war some where other than home. Get over it!

This old gray haired guy is voting for the only real fiscal conservative for president and is asking anyone with BRAINS (as Ann Coulter put on her book cover) to support and vote RonPaul2008.com

I have been a Ron Paul supporter from day one. AND from day one...I've been concerned with what I think is Dr. Paul's "Achille's Heel"...and that's the way he approaches getting out of Iraq. I believe (like every other Paul supporter) that getting out of Iraq is a must. However, from a political standpoint, Dr. Paul can't continue to just make the simple statement; "It was a mistake for us to have gone in to this illegal war, so we should just get out and bring the troops home." Dr. Paul doesn't go on to tell the public what his strategy will be to "bring the troops home", and leaves you with the impression that...once he becomes President...he will have the military in Iraq just drop what they're doing and just pack up and leave on the first plane out. Time and time again I've watched people's reactions to his "we should just bring the troops home" statement...and what I see is a look of bewilderment and comments like; "If he (Dr. Paul) thinks we can just get up and leave immediately...he's CRAZY!!!" Now mind you...these are people who "agree we should get out of Iraq". But the idea that we just drop what we're doing over there and high-tail it on home really causes a lot of people to shudder that otherwise LOVE what Dr. Paul has to say! He's got to asuage these people's fears, of simply abandoning the war fatigued Iraqi people, and just leaving them left holding the bag. A lot of these people feel that...whether it was a mistake or not, when the United States invaded Iraq...we broke it! Now that the damage is done, it is our responsibility to at least leave that devastated country in a manner that doesn't just leave the Iraqi people hung out to dry, and left in a position where they are "open season" for Al-Queda terrorists still within their borders, and the warring tribal factions (Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds). Everybody agrees with Dr. Paul that we need to get out now...but we need to do it in a responsible and compasionate way. If he is able to come up with a realistic approach on how to address this issue of withdrawal...I think you'll see a flood of "uncommitted" people joining the Paulite troops!

Sad thing is Ron Paul is the least crazy of the bunch.

Finally!!! Some news about Dr. Paul!

I feel like my country has been hijacked by the mainstream media! This blackout of "all things Dr. Ron Paul" is so blatantly un-American! It shocks the conscience that ordinary citizens have to get on-line to find any little morsel of information! It's no wonder that when I was out campaigning for him that people would say, "Who?"

He's like "the invisible candidate"! Mike Huckabee got a taste of the treatment at the last debate. Remember? "Hello!! There's another candidate over here to the RIGHT who would like to answer that question!" Welcome to the MSM Mike!

I'm still wearing my Ron Paul pin, I still have my stickers on my car that say, "If You Are Not Outraged You Are Not Paying Attention" and "Ron Paul President 2008". I was stopped in the store today by two individuals who saw my pin and wanted more information!

I live in the country and there's plenty of traffic going past my house every day coming and going. I get lots of honks from passing cars who love my Ron Paul yard sign.

I will finish this post and dig out my credit card to throw him another $50. I will continue to give as much as I can until I hear from his own lips that he will not continue and I am praying as hard as I can that he will keep campaigning with all his heart and mind and soul.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of Americans out here of all political persuasions who love and respect you Dr. Paul....and who also love and respect our Constitution. Thank you.

Here is what I don't get about conservatives who like nation building. On every issue besides the war they agree with Ron Paul becuase they know government doesn't work. It can't provide healthcare, education, retirement, ect. But for some reason they think it can turn Iraq into a democracy. Please someone explain this to me.

The military is used to kill people and break things. If we wanted to get Bin Laden we could of kept after him. Even Ron Paul voted to use the military in this way. But why the nation building?

I haven't voted since the farce of 2000.At that time I was an independent slanting towards democratic principles.I'm a grandmother of 8,thought I'd never vote republican until I heard Ron Paul.I am now a registered republican and I'm sure there are many others like me. Let us in your party. Forget the status quo;the party needs true conservative people learning true conservative ways. Ron Paul is the man to take us there He's also the man to lead us on the right path as a nation.Anyone who thinks this war is just should think what all the people in Iraq are going through and how we would like all the carnage and death if the shoes were on the other feet.The power has always been in the people not the establishment for when the people rise for honesty, truth and justice;It's the true american way!

Sigh. Ignorance is strength. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. And my favorite: Ron Paul is the crazy one.

Thank God for this man, he is the only sane and reasonable person running so far. Wish the rest of the country was smart enough to vote for him before they all bankrupt us. Bin Laden is fighting an economic war, and he is laughing at us everyday because our administration thinks is just trying to blow us up -we look like idiots thanks to Bush and the McCain / Huckabee & Clinton / Obama types. Paul is the only one that can help fix the schools, the economy, the healthcare system, the "war on terror" and so much more, but most aren't interested enough to read up about the various subjects or even understand the government's role in their own lives.

Since McCain was not born in the USA he can not be a valid candidate for president of this country! He was born in the Country of Panama in Central America. This has never been a part of the USA ever!!! The U.S. Constitution forbids anyone who is not born here to be president. Therefore, the Huckster and Dr. Ron Paul are the only candidates left in the race for the office of president...-whzh-

Anyone who actually does any research on the topic knows full well that the Iraqi government under Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. For goodness sakes they were the most secular government in the entire region and not in anyway consistent with Al Qaeda aspirations. . If anything… Saddam was on future Al Qaeda hit lists.

Ron Paul’s firm stand against the Iraq war and his vision of a strong national defense with non-intervention makes him the only presidential candidate that is consistent with our constitution and sharply contrasts all other candidates in both parties. His insight and experience with financial affairs leaves all other candidates on both sides of the fence in the shade. His voting record of consistent integrity can not be questioned or rivaled by any other candidate in both parties.

I spent seven years teaching at the university level – American culture and globalization (I was teaching my students about Islam and radial factions five years before 9/11 – that terrible day was not a surprise to many of us). I spent another four years as a social scientist funded by the DoD addressing cultural / environmental impact from military activities and U.S. Army transformation (rapid deployment / striker brigade concept). Please, trust me - Ron Paul is not soft on defense! He garners more campaign contributions from active and retired military personnel than all other candidates combined in both parties! He knows what he is talking about regarding our self-destructive foreign policy of “policing the world” and morally corrupt “preemptive war” - military professionals recognize that! They support him and so should anyone that values the future safety and security of their families and this nation.

Some of us didn’t have to vote for George W. Bush once or TWICE to know what was going to happen! Some of us knew by researching and being honest with ourselves prior to 2000 that Bush…and company would certainly destroy the Republican Party and bring us to these dangerous circumstances both nationally and internationally. Unfortunately, millions of our fellow Americans didn’t do any research or incorporate any form of foresight and now they must bear the responsibility of the last eight years on their shoulders. Don’t let that happen to you now and / or again.

Ron Paul is the only conservative left in the race and the only long term constitutional fiscal conservative of the original GOP eleven. He always was the best choice and should have been supported from the onset.

I urge any decent American who values the constitution, individual liberties, freedom, peace and prosperity to support Ron Paul! Please don’t make the same mistake again by supporting a world class loser. Trust me - McCain as the GOP candidate is completely out of step with the vast majority of the American people. He can not win this election against any Democrat.

Ron Paul is the only candidate in both parties that offers real solutions to the dangerous circumstances that confront us. There is no “feel good” pie in the sky promises that will not be fundable – there is no “fear” mongering at “threat level code red” to aid in stripping you of your individual civil liberties – that is not his style. He offers us honest evaluations and reasonable solutions to the dangerous realities that confront us as individuals and as a nation. It is up to us as a people to rise to the occasion…look ourselves in mirror and have a sincere national “reality check”. We have run out of time and money. We can not afford as a people to make another four years worth of mistakes. We need to get it right – Ron Paul is the right choice for 2008.

Thank you for your story on Dr. Paul at CPAC. I wish everyone in this country could have seen him speak with the youth of this nation on MTV last week. The young people in the audience were turned in their seats to watch the monitor and listen to what he had to say hanging on every word. It was as though they had never heard the truth before.

Ron Paul opposes NAFTA/CAFTA, the NAFTA Superhighway and it's southern leg, the Trans Texas Corridor. The people of Texas are taking up arms to fight the globalist, Neo-Cons who want to sell our children's future to foreigners who will make us pay them to drive on our own roads. The national debt is beyond insane and the 3.11 trillion dollar budget does not include the funding for Iraq and Afganistan, but it does include 500 billion dollars to fund the universal draft (our sons AND DAUGHTERS) so that McCain can fight his 100 years war with our children. Screw him. Ron Paul is right about obeying the U.S. Constitution. Only people who do not have military aged children and are not between the ages of 18 and 42 would support John McCain. It's easy to support a war that someone else has to fight. Bring the troops home. Let the Iraqis and Afgans build their own nation. If Americans don't think Muslims can build their own country, just look at Dubai. Iraq has oil, Dubai doesn't, and look what Dubai has done. It's because they had to, because the U.S. doesn't have any use for a nation without oil and doesn't have a reason to keep them in the dark ages with constant conflict. Give me a break. Vote Ron Paul, or die in Iraq for McCain's entertainment. And while McCain is saying he knows nothing about the economy, Ron Paul is warning that we had better begin living within our means, because the chickens of this deficit are coming home to roost with a vengeance. Ron Paul has a plan that would stop illegal immigration by removing the incentives. McCain has a plan to throw open the gates and let the illegal immigrations bankrupt our healthcare system and our nation. Is there no one left who feels it is better to die free than to live as a slave? Our children must not be turned into debtor slaves to foreigners by the Neo-Cons.
RON PAUL, HOPE FOR AMERICA, OUR ONLY HOPE.

Ron Paul because freedom SHOULD be popular!

To Ken Mercer:

Ron Paul had 10% of the vote after the first round of the West Virginia Republican nominating convention, but he was in fourth place, so he didn't make it to the second round.

The results reported on CNN and elsewhere are for the second round of voting.

GOP has too choices: More Bolshevism and Permanent Revolution under McCain or Clinton, or a hint of honest government and a chance of national survival.

Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate actively seeking to pull the US out of the United Nations, and restore US sovereignty over the Panama Canal. Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who CARES that the UN is trying to take away our guns and teach our children about foreign cultures, and that the Panama Canal is, and always was, SOVEREIGN US territory. Dr. Paul tried to persuade Congress to declare war on Iraq, but when Bush went to the UN instead, Paul turned against this current war. If you care about all these issues that are essential to maintaining our US Constitution and American sovereignty, then continue to support the candidacy of Dr. Ron Paul!!

I am a supporter of Dr. Ron Paul. My greatest anxiety now is that we will either be stuck with the military fanatic and highly belligerent McCain, or the Bill & Hillary duo ruling the country.

We simply cannot afford either scenario without dire consequences.

If push comes to shove, I will simply stand firm in my belief in Ron Paul and do a write-in vote in this election.

The only reason Ron Paul said "Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11," is because, believe it or not- many people still think that it did! I still meet people that think that. So it was stated for the benefit of the yet ignorant.

You know, this war thing is befuddling to me. I keep hearing folks refer to Paul as the anti-war or no-war candidate and that's not necessarily true.

I know the so-called true conservatives are somewhat war crazy but that's probably because they are making money off the war (or their bosses are). Why else would they support such a senseless waste of human lives and national wealth?

The truth, as I see it, is that Paul has never advocated no-war or anti-war. He is, afterall, an Air Force Veteran and served his country in time of war. What I have heard him actually advocate is "just-war". A war that is declared by the Congress according to the Constitution (remember that document?). He has stated that as commander-in-chief, once Congress declares the war, he will carry out the necessary duty of Winning That Declared War!

So, if war is necessary, it falls on the duty of Congress to declare it. That seems much more sane to me. Hopefully, with all the braintrust in Congress, we won't be mislead (and bold faced lied to) into invading another country without just cause.

One other note. Al Queda claims no country as it's own. So, they're just a bunch of renegade trouble makers somewhat like the pirates in 1800's. Paul has advocated treating these thugs with the same approach as was done to track down the pirates and bring them to justice.

If you are war thirsty, and your war is just, then Ron Paul should be the leader that you want to pursue that war.

In the mean-time, let him save the country from the next great depression that is right around the corner. McCain admitted that he has no clue about economics.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Ron Paul all the way to the convention!

THE RON PAUL PRESCRIPTION

After so many nightmares, the men of rage
are being en-caged;
running around in their same games.
Clear dreams awake me today, so,
I realise there is an honest lane.
No left or right, it is just true light.
A doctor that cared; prescribed the right glare
for our common load, a vision of hope.
A true revolution where love is respect, responsibility
and the true American spirit.
Old noise is fading away, and new waves invade.
Voices shout all across the country.
"No matter our colors, our gender, or claims;
We will throw out the world of petty blames! "
Live within sights and sounds of true freedom,
upholding our constitution and the
legal love revolution.
True bravery, mind elation!
Sovereign breathing Nation!
Take what this Doctor prescribes, and
the true American spirit will rise.

"Long and patient observation and much acquired knowledge are requisite to form a just estimate of the character of a single individual. Men of the greatest genius often fail to do it, and can it be supposed that the common people will always succeed? The people have neither the time nor the means for an investigation of this kind. Their conclusions are hastily formed from superficial inspection of the more prominent features of a question. Hence it often happens that mountebanks of all sorts are able to please the people, while their truest friends frequently fail to gain their confidence."

-De Tocqueville

Ron Paul needs to ask the hard questions to McCain. Does he favor a draft? Warmongers like war till they or their children have to go. A draft is inevitable. The troops are worn out.

Thank you for allowing Ron Paul to speak to America! This is a man who speaks the truth & feels no need for pre-written speaches, given there are no lies to remember! Ron Paul is a common sense man who believes in our founding fathers & the Constitution. I have never in my life been more politically active then I am today. I keep my eyes on the internet reading anything about Ron Paul & constantly forward late breaking news to all my friends regarding him. I only pray that we can continue on and spread his message for all to hear!

Ron Paul says it as it is. America can not force democracy out of a gun barrell. The "high road" position message of Dr. Paul is that Americans must become INFORMED about the important issues that directly affect their lives. The 'posturing rhetoric' that the "status quo" candidates are bantering around is just more of the same old stuff!!!!. If America is to return to its' greatness as a bastion for democracy and individual freedoms, we must return to our roots and that is the US Constitution.
Lastly, TRANSPARENCY into major economic institutions such as and especially the Federal Reserve Bank make it possible for men and women who favor the common good instead of favor for the elitist, favored few.
Go Ron Paul----a man of honesty, integrity and vision----a 10 term sitting Congressman who really does know what is going on in the financial arenas and on foreign affarairs.
God Bless, Ron Paul and his wonderful message of freedom, prosperity and peace

Claudia, that is a beautiful poem. Thank you!

If you want to feel the inspiration people draw from Dr. Paul, just read these comments. Amazing! Amazing!!

This isn't over.

People have to do some research to find Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

People have to understand why McBush Warmonger is running in this race.

Anybody with a brain would know that no Conservative/Republican would vote for Mr. War. Why is McBush running as a Conservative?

Hillary would BEAT him hands down! Now do you understand folks?

The elites basturds want her in!

Young people will believe anything TV tells them.

We are deeply involved in Iraq. Whether that is good thing or not, the American people do not like losing wars.

Just a few thoughts ... from a Fred Thompson supporter and now maybe a McCain supporter?!?

Ron Paul is the only true Republican candidate. With Romney out, there is a bigger chance that the fiscal conservatives in the remaining states will cast protest votes for Dr. Paul. If that fails, I respect Dr. Paul's decision on what he will do - rejoin the Libertarian Party as its presidential candidate or rerun for Congress. I certainly will vote for the candidate for the smallest government. For the rest of his campaign now, Dr. Paul can drive home the point that McCain will give amnesty to millions of illegals and allow them to raid the pocketbooks of law abiding productive citizens. This is the opportunity for Dr. Paul to hit McCain with McCain's unpopular position on immigration.

He believes in using intelligence groups, just not huge bureaucratic ones. He mentioned the Constitutional method of Marque and Reprisal to find people like Bin Laden. He voted to go after Al Quaeda and Taliban. He wants to take our troops off their extended holidays abroad and position them on our own borders and keep the bases on our own soil within our own tax jurisdictions helping our communities. The media blackout has imprinted an unattractive caricature of him and they will look foolish pretending he doesn't exist once the Republican field narrows to two.

I heard one of Ron Paul's statements about 4 months ago and got my attention but it seemed early for me and I did not know much about him. But I thought he was right on. I do believe these ideas will help strengthen back our economy and if we make the government smaller and bring our troops home soon we could get on track that much faster.

I want opportunity. The direction we are going is taking that opportunity away from me. We are at a pivotal point where we have to back off greatly with our spending.

I had seen a video on Ron Paul and how he was being black out and I decided to look for myself. I watched CNN and CNN Headline News for a number of hours each one Saturday and was surprised at how it seemed everyone was trying to avoid his name. I found it strange. And probably what bothered me most is someone took my right to decide away. Because no matter what, if you have barely or not heard at all of someone you will not vote for them. This really bothered me.

I agree that voters need to vote and make a decision but it should be out of fairness. I know one thing, I have yet to see anyone say that Ron Paul's statements are false, instead they avoid them. It must be a shocking truth that they do not want the general public to know about.

I just recently took economics and I was shocked myself to find how much Ron Paul speaks the truth. I believe we should have money to spend and expand when we have, but come on people, we are so far out of debt it will take DRASTIC measures to really put any kind of noticeable dent into that $9.2 BILLION debt we have!

thank you for reporting this. i wouldn't have even known about it, you're the only one. thank you.

Even though the President also claimed that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, the fact remains that without 9/11, there would have been far less support for a full-scale invasion. One thing lead to another. The people are troubled because they know we cannot reverse what happened. We have to face what happened and go forward not backward. The challenge therefore is for Paul to convince us he has the vision to move Freedom forward which I believe he does.

So, according to Mark Silva Ron Paul lost his credibility when he disassociated any relationship between 9/11 and the war in Iraq? As Josef Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist stated: "if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, the people will eventually believe it....the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state." Keep up the lie of this administration, Mr. Silva. You, as well as millions of American voters have been successfully brainwashed. This campaign and elections are a joke.

"The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim." Gustave Le Bon from his 1896 book "The Crowd"

Apparently this crowd didn't like their illusions challenged ...

When Ron Paul runs in the general election, he will have the votes of many democrats, libertarians, and real republicans. He must run. He can win.

Well the media is a fraud.
No wonder 3rd parties don't get a fair shot.
Ron Paul as a GOP isn't being given a fair shot.
So it's not the Party it's the Views. IF you Don't go with the rest of the sheep, your ignored.
Mass Media has failed us on every level.
Even C span. Whats left?
I guess the internet truly is the battle ground for information.
Good luck everyone.

Larry Wall the debt is 9.2 trillion but I'm sure you just made a mistake posting billion.

Anyway as a Canadian I truly hope you elect Ron Paul but I know the odds of that are so low it isn't even funny.

What is funny is when you elect Hilary and become a socialist state in more debt and paying more taxes to support funding illegals, universal health care, and corporate lobbiyists. Plus she doesn't plan on getting out of Iraq until 2013 and hasn't ruled out a nuclear strike on Iran.

Or I'll cry if you elect John McWar because then WW3 will start with the US attacking Iran, a draft, a 100 year occupation of Iraq, devauled US dollar, and more debt to fund war.

Good luck to you Americans.

I have a friend who does not like John McCain but is willing to vote for him just to help a Republican win the election. I asked him if he felt his vote mattered, he said yes. I told him it should matter more for what he believes in. And if he wants a Republican other than John McCain then he needs to step it up and start helping with the campaign. You might be surprised how many people might follow.

Some have even said, why should those in Washington be expected to do a better job than we? Most people are in debt! I say it is because we elected them to represent us and to use their skills and education to get the job done that most of us can or are not willing to do. But when they are not doing their job... bad things can happen.

Things will get worse is the PEOPL do not wake up!

Vote for Virtue...
Vote for Principle...
Vote for Courage...
Vote Ron Paul!

Vote Against Fear...
Vote Against Corporatism...
Vote Against Inflation...
Vote Ron Paul!

JARED

Just remember if our troops are to stay in Iraq you should vote for McCain then sign up for military service cause our troops over there now deserve to come home as they are exhausted.

There will be a new draft,it is the only way we can stay in Iraq.The new draft will also give us the troops so badly needed on our borders.

Nothing like going off to war in another country and leaving your own back door wide open for a dirty bomb to be brought across our borders.

I hope Republicans know that those of us who joined the party to support Ron Paul will be leaving if he isn't nominated.

Considering the primary results to date that means about 30 people will be leaving the republican party when Ron Paul isn't nominated. No big loss.

When are the Republican Party leaders going to realize that America is READY for a real change and the reason so many young are flocking in support of the Democrats is that they support an end to the War. The majority of non-brutish folks not interested in re-living their glory days are anxious for the war on "terror" to be over and for our lives to get back to normal.

Dr. Paul has received atrocious coverage in the mass media. They consistently ignore, ridicule, marginalize, and slander this good man. No other candidate has gotten this type of treatment. The others, conversely, have been given mountains of free airtime to advertise their message and establish legitimacy in the minds of voters. The good news is that people are starting to wake up and realize that they are being deceived and manipulated by the mass media.

No need to leave the party. Just WRITE IN "RON PAUL" on your ballot in November.

I left a few words over at the ny times, yup as Anti McShame as I could and asked the question, Is Ron Paul top tier now? They deleted the post after it was up. I guess the nytimes has to protect the angry little troll, I can't wait to watch Ron Paul wipe the floor with Mchsame in the Next debate.

Cheryl 6:21 pm

Cheryl likes the war but is nice and comfy here at home while our family members fight the war for her.

She spouts untrue remarks about Dr. Paul as if it is the gospel.

Cheryl is an example of a sheeple who has not done her research and is parroting things she has heard from another sheeple who heard it from another sheeple.

You can always spot the uninformed sheeple because they just write a few hateful punch lines since that is the only info they have.

If they would think for 10 seconds (although I know that is asking alot) they would realize how rediculous their remarks really sound.
OOH a highly respected US House of Represenative is going to ruin our drinking water,close our schools,start war on gay people and cause the collaspe of the world as we know it.

Sad isn't it ?

The fact is that the GOP is no longer home to conservative thinking and behavior. Dems and Repubs and moving towards each other, not away. Maybe we the economy gets ruinous enough the sheeple will look for a 3rd party alternative with real conservative views....or maybe not..lol

What has America come to when an honest man like Ron Paul is so blatantly censored from TV? I have to say, for the first time in my 44 years, I'm ashamed to be an American. With Ron Paul silenced, only God can save this country from the greedy elite that have been running the show for the last 50 years. But why would He bother?

Don't kill the messenger, guys -- the CPAC crowd booed Paul for the "no 9/11-Iraq connection" comments. Silva was fair in his assessment of the speech.

The fact is that many conservatives have hitched their cart to that horse, and aren't willing to give it up.

That said, CPAC was surprisingly receptive to Ron -- maybe they're really beginning to realize that he's the only one left that actually stands for something remotely related to the historical Republican message.

craig is so right.....

Vote WW4, vote McCain.
Vote more Iraq war, vote Hillary.
Vote big government, vote Obama.
Vote peace and prosperity, vote Ron Paul

I am reminded when considering Ron Pauls candidacy of the great Barry Goldwater campaign slogan, "in your HEART you know he's right". Goldwater WAS right yet he was too early and went down to defeat. His defeat brought us LBJ and continued escalation of a war which wasted a generation of young people in a war that history has shown, needn't have been fought.

Ron Paul is RIGHT. You know it in your hearts.

And yet conservatives will again allow themselves to be used in support of a candidate who is wrong on taxes, wrong on immigration, wrong on civil liberties and WRONG on war.

If the GOP nominates McCain (or the Huckster for that matter) they well deserve the beating they will receive and out of the detritus of their remains genuine conservatism will at long last arise around Ron Paul and his suppporters.

You people dont get it.
Those that are for the war are connected to its money.
Arms are the NUMBER #1 export BY FAR from the US. If you took it away our exports would look anemic. It already does next to our imports.
Anyone who is for the Iraq war is for big business and their PRECIOUS STOCKS in Raytheon, Halliburton, Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics and all the others or they simply love war which is Satanic period. If you took away the Iraq war the US would have a HUGE SURPLUS not a huge deficit but the rich would not be rich enough for the top 10%.

Ron Paul is great! He is a true stateman like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, et al. These so-called economic conservatives like McCain(who are social liberals) need to leave the GOP, which they have all but destroyed, once and for all and start their own lame party (which no one will vote for). They are only Republicans because of their economic beliefs, period. A Republican is not just a fiscal conservative. Instead, they are like Ron Paul, who knows what the Constitution says (I doubt Obama even knows what that is). McCain is an old, war-mongering Democrat, hiding behind an "R". He lost me when he was in bed with that fat SOB, Ted Kennedy, on the amnesty bill. I will not vote for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would he lose the audience by stating "Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11?" What proof do people have there is even a tenuous connection here? Bottom line: Ron Paul is too good for the Republican Party, which now prefers the perceived "glory" of war to common sense.

What are you going to when your sons and daughters are drafted?
What are you going to do when the econmoy tanks ?
What are you going to do when you can't pay for your house ?
What are you going to do when you are standing in a bread line ?

Thank John McCain. He is your man not mine .
All of you should pull your heads out your TV sets and study the issues .

There once was a man named "Ron Paul"

He cared for state power not at all

He said with a sigh

"How many more must die,

As we borrow from China for all?"

The whole "should we be in Iraq" question is moot anyway since we simply can't afford to continue the war there.

We have $9 trillion in debt, an overextended military, a crashing dollar, a housing crisis that is going to be Depression-Era ugly, and a public who are maxed out on credit and taxed to the hilt. No one is willing to lend the American people or the American government money anymore.

So we are leaving Iraq one way or the other.

Hey Nate, You are right. I knew it was 9.2 trillion. Just tired I guess. This whole thing is just eating at me! This is a big story how the main stream media and even the Republican party is preventing Ron Paul's message from getting out.

It burns me to think that someone is at least fixing Ron Paul's fate in this election. It also makes me wonder how much of this goes on in Washington.

One also has to think that if he is not supported by either party how could he get anything done in Washington. But WE THE PEOPLE would have to show that this is what we want and this is what we need. And I bet they will change and even try to act lie they have been behind the idea all along.

Ron Paul started a brushfire that has grown into a raging forest fire,spreading HOPE,LIBERTY,and FREEDOM!STAND UP OPEN YOUR WINDOW AND SHOUT VOTE RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen to this speech...there is absolutely nothing crazy or kooky or weird about this man and his message. This man is the last hope for a suffering nation. Fight on Ron, we have your back!

There once was a man named "McCain"

Who had dropping bombs on his brain

He sang "bomb Iran"

(as only a bomber jock can)

And convinced me he was quite insane.

"Yeah lots of republicans will vote for him. Sure. If only Ron Paul were friends with sanity."

Spoken like a true Israel-Firster.

Did anyone hear Romney at CPAC say (paraphrasing here) we can be be a great nation again and don't have to become another France? Schumer made the same type of remark about Sweden about 6 months ago. The arrogance of these guys is breathtaking. Do all our politicians have delusions of grandeur? We're on final approach to third world status and these self serving fools are at the controls. Get behind Ron Paul or start planning for bad times. The free lunches are over.

We had a homeowners meeting today and at the end the discussion turned to politics. I mentioned that Ron Paul is still in it and one of my neighbors responded, "That's what I like about you Paul supporters, you still think he can win." I said, "Of course he can still win, freedom is popular and deep down you are all Ron Paul supporters." They all looked thoughtful after that.

It is time to redouble our efforts. Time to post Ron Paul signs everywhere and hand out literature even if your state already had its election. And let's be at all of McAmnesty's events.

How can Americans sit by and let the MSM flush all chances for Dr. Paul down the drain? The media has been given marching orders that send us down the darkest path yet in our history. Dr. Paul is a gift to us yet Americans watch history pass before their eyes from their knees. Its just a matter of time before we do everything from our knees. Thats ok...dont stand for anything, you will be part of falling for it all. A nation of cowards?

I think McCain has a chip in his head, like Bush. Notice that Lieberman (his controller) is always just a few feet away. Just like Cheney with Bush. I'm kidding of course. *shudder*

Just a reminder folks. Conservatives do not like war. Neo-conservatives love war.

McCain has no courage, no honor. How can he not take a most important vote which affects the lifes of Veterans he claims to support? After all, isn’t he the one who wants to keep our brave children in Iraq for 100 years. How many of you have children over there?

So why not Ron Paul? After all, he is the only true Conservative and is unafraid to speak his conscience. The other Spineless Neocons are giving up because their messages were bogus and no one, not even the Republican Party, believed in them.

Ron Paul is the man you want in your foxhole when the enemy is upon you. As in this campaign, he would never abandon you even if the cause appeared lost. What virtue, what honor, what courage, what hope he brings to our consciousness.

Our forefathers, like our future generations, as well as our military admire him. They admire him because the only manner in which our country can survive the assault we are under is to go back to our Constitution. He is the only one unafraid to say it, for fear of losing popularity or delegates! He will not quit, he will not falter, he will not abandon the cause of our Great Nation or its People. So stop whining and Join the American Revolution!

“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit
to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his
intelligence.” Albert Einstein

Watched 'em all on the web. Dr. Paul is no wackier than any of the others. He seems to have an earnest fear for the future of the country and is much less concerned about the politics. Unfortunately, my wife said he did not "present" well. She of course had never heard of him on MSM.

Hey Jeff,
Consider if we nominate McCain there will be A MASS exit to the front door you can bet on that, "my friend"! I'll be the first on OUT!

I watched the speech. I didn't hear much in the way of opposition to his claim that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq.

The fact is, 9/11, and this is in George Bush's own words, had nothing to do with 9/11.

9/11 is only relevant to Iraq in that it is being used as an excuse to abandon completely the core principles of the Republican party and the constitution itself.

Those who want us to remain in Iraq to preserve "honor" use 9/11 as the reason that everything has now "changed".

Well nothing has changed. For thousands of years, leaders have used catastrophe to justify tyranny. This 9/11 fearmongering is unbecoming to men of substance and principle.

Unfortunately, there are very few of those sorts of men left. We've become a nation of women and children, hiding behind the skirts of mommy government and for what?

Nations that would have to mount machine guns on migrating geese to have a formidable air force? How far we've come when we could stare down 40,000 nukes that really existed as opposed to those which may exist 10 years in the future.

Republicans who call Ron Paul "kooky" or "insane" should be ashamed of themselves for acting like school girls and throwing 9/11 out there as if it justifies any of the tyranny that they promote.

This chickenhawks of this country will be lucky if Dr. Paul is sworn in next January but they certainly doesn't deserve him the way they've acted the past decade.

great speech Ron Paul he is the only true republican left the others are two faced and switch on the issuses. so vote Ron Paul and long live the Ron Paul Revolution!!!!!

Ron Paul may not be polished and a great speech giver in some peoples opinion, but to me, he shows guts in delivering the needed TRUTHS that his campaign is offering to this Nation!

Ron Paul is a true statesman, and his record proves this.

Should Ron Paul not be nominated for president, those afraid to vote for him will soon understand why he tried to save this Nation. They will be suffering great loss when all they had to do was stand up on the side of good and right!

VOTE Ron Paul, don't be afraid of that! Be afraid of what will happen if we have more of the same!

WAR IN IRAQ = BANKRUPTCY OR
LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS, A SOUND DOLLAR, PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
OUR HONOR WAS LOST WHEN WE WENT INTO IRAQ. THERE IS NO HONOR IN A DESTROYED COUNTRY AND 150,000 DEAD IRAQIS AND 4,000 DEAD AMERICANS.THIS IS SOMETHING NOT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT NOR WILL IT EVER. LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE LOST.THE ONLY ONES TO GAIN ARE THE CONTRACTORS AND COMPANIES.THE CHINESE,JAPANESE,BRAZILIANS,EUROPEANS AND INDIANS DO NOT HAVE TROOPS ALL OVER THE WORLD PROTECTING OIL AND AN EMPIRE. WHY? THEY NEVER HAVE ANY TROUBLE UNLESS THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH US.

REMEMBER,THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY ITS ALL OURS. ANYTHING THE GOVERNMENT GIVES YOU WAS WHAT IT TOOK FROM YOU.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GIVE, IT TAKES.
IN THE SOVIET UNION THEY DISCREDITED BY CALLING YOU CRAZY.ANY ONE CALLING DR. PAUL CRAZY, KNOWS THAT THIS IS NOT THEIR INDEPENDENT CONCLUSION BUT THAT OF THE MEDIA WHICH IS THE MOUTHPIECE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. THESE PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POWER OR MONEY. THEY ARE THE ONES FOR WHICH EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE BUT NOTHING HAS A VALUE.

ITS OUR CONSTITUTION THAT MADE US GREAT AND THE ENVY OF THE WORLD. WHY DID ALL THOSE IMMIGRANTS COME HERE PAST AND PRESENT? LOOKING AT HISTORY, THE VALUE OF EACH ONE OF US MEANT SOMETHING, FINALLY. PEOPLE WERE NOT JUST WORTHLESS AND USELESS THINGS TO BE EXPLOITED. IF NOT IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE? WHAT HAS SEPERATED US HAS BEEN THE POWER OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND ITS PROTECTIONS.THE CONSTITUTION FOR THE UNITED STATES NOT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AS IT WAS CHANGED IN THE 1860'S BECAUSE THE COUNTRY WAS BANKRUPT AND THE COUNTRY WAS TURNED INTO THE CORP. OF THE UNITED STATES.) IF WE DO NOT LIVE UP TO THOSE PRINCIPLES THEN WHAT ARE WE?
WE WILL BECOME NO DIFFERENT THAN THE SOVIET UNION OR NAZI GERMANY.THIS IS WHY WE NOW TORTURE AND HAVE SECRET PRISONS, INVADE COUNTRIES
PREEMPTIVELY, WE SUPPORT ABOUT 20 DICTATORS AROUND THE WORLD.WE EXPORT JUST AS MUCH FEAR AND HATRED AS THE TERRORIST SEEM TO.WE MUST DO UNTO OTHERS AS WE WANT THEM TO DO UNTO US.

WHERE IS OSAMA BIN LADEN ITS BEEN 6 AND A HALF YEARS AND WE HAVE SPENT SPENT 2 TRILLION DOLLARS. WE COULD HAVE BOUGHT AFGHANISTAN OUT RIGHT AND PUT THE IRAQIS TO WORK FOR 20 YEARS OR BOUGHT ALL THEIR OIL THE SECOND LARGEST IN THE WORLD 150 BILLION BARRELS OUTRIGHT IN 2002 DOLLARS.

TRUTH IS TREASON IN AN EMPIRE OF LIES. -RON PAUL

THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT BELONG TO US, WE RENT IT FROM OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. SO WE MUST THINK ABOUT WHAT WE LEAVE FOR THEM. DO WE BURDEN THEM WITH GREAT DEBT AND FEW CIVIL LIBERTIES IN A HAS BEEN EMPIRE OR DO WE GIVE THEM A PEACEFUL,PROSPEROUS AND FREE GIANT OF A NATION?
THIS IS THE DOOR AT WHICH WE STAND.REMEMBER AMERICA WAS NOT BORN OF HAND OUTS BUT HARD WORK AND REBELLION. WE MUST DECIDE.

A VOTE FOR PRINCIPLE IS NEVER WASTED!

Most of the people voting in America are getting their political information from the Mas Media (TV,newspaper) and not the internet. The Media,The World Bankers and the Politicians running this election soap opera scam are under control by the few corporate elite.
The New World Order is in full effect and Americans will not wake up. In the future when we protest, we will be called terrorists and The Patriot Act, The Military Commission Act will be implemented on the North American Union Citizens. I will Vote Ron Paul but The System already chose Hillary Clinton (Bilderberg)

These are the candidates who are CFR members

Democrat CFR Candidates:

Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson

Republican CFR Candidates:

Mitt Romney
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Fred Thompson

Mike Huckabee is being advised by the Director of the CFR according to a recent statement made by him.

The main, root cause, issues of the 2008 that none of the candidates is talking about (except for Ron Paul) are the following:

1) the united states debt of $9.2 Trillion (FIAT EMPIRE Home Page)
2) the unfunded liabilities totaling $60 Trillion (U.S. Government Accountability Office (U.S. GAO))
3) the monetization of debt (that is, making money out of thin air - Freedom Force International - Welcome)

Unless your candidate talks about these root-cause issues, they are just spouting empty rhetoric.

Please research these issues and the CFR, and how the CFR is selling the US out to the international bankers.

For those of you who don’t know who Ron Paul is or understand what he is about. Here you go.

FOREIGN POLICY

The CIA terror experts agree that Paul is the only candidate with the correct anti-terrorism strategy. We continually meddle in the affairs of the world then are surprised when they attack us. The CIA calls it BLOWBACK. It has happened continuously over the last 40 years as a result of our foreign policy. It happened in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Iran.

People are badly mistaken if they think that the United States is blameless for the attacks on 9/11. The CIA and the independent 9/11 Commission report confirmed that one of the primary reasons these Islamic extremists attacked us was because of our foreign policy. They weren’t attacking us because of our freedom, it is the BLOWBACK that the CIA warned would happen. In fact Osama Bin Laden even said it himself! This whole “good” against “evil” deflection is the tactic the Government uses to evade responsibility for the consequences that America’s imperial projects have generated.

Ron Paul is not an isolationist. He’s not even against going to war. But, per the Constitution, he believes that you must go to war with a DECLARATION of war. Instead our “commander and chief” just does whatever he wants and expects the American people to front the bill. Ron believes in free trade and talking with countries and being friends with other countries but NOT forcing our way of life and values down their throat. You can’t promote Democracy through the barrel of a gun!!! You can’t overthrow elected governments and expect others to listen to what we have to say.
IRAQ WAR

Ron Paul for President

The only correct position is an immediate (and strategic) withdrawal. But before some of you get turned off, let me tell you why.

NONE of the Republicans (except Ron Paul) want to leave. McCain says we should stay for another 100 years and has told his supporters that more wars will follow. There is a real fear of a Draft if McCain takes office. Romney and Huckabee simply say that we will not leave until we “win”. But they fail to define what “winning” is. The fact is that there IS NO WINNING!

The Government is the most masterful public relations machine on the planet. Somehow a connection has been made between 9/11 and Iraq. Yes, Saddam was a dictator who used chemical weapons on his own people (the same weapons we gave him by the way), but Al-Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq. (For those of you saying that we should be in Iraq for human rights violations I can list 20 bigger human rights issues in the world that the U.S. did not send in military even when nearly 2000 times more people died, so don’t fool yourself.)

McCain likes to say that we don’t want to give Al-Qaeda a “safe haven” in Iraq. What?!!! They already have a safe haven in Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan so what do they need Iraq for? There is a group called “Al-Qaeda In Iraq” but that is a separate organization and only accounts for a small fraction of the insurgency we are fighting. We are in the middle of a sectarian war. And it isn’t just Shiites vs Sunnis vs Kurds. It is Shiites vs Shiites and Sunnis vs Sunnis and everyone against us for getting in the way and maintaining an occupying force.

The problem is that our government believed (and maybe is stupid enough to still believe) that if we eliminated Saddam we would be welcomed with open arms as everyone comes together to rebuild Iraq. But people don’t see themselves as Iraqi. They have only been a country since 1932 and before that they were ruled by the British Empire after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. These feuds that we are trying to solve go back hundreds of years. Iraq says that it once owned Kuwait and was trying to rightfully take it back. Iran and Turkey can look back through their history and stake claim to Iraq as well.

The Middle Eastern countries need to stabilize Iraq themselves. It is IMPOSSIBLE for us to do it. Meanwhile we are spending (meaning borrowing from China with interest) billions of dollars per day to fight something that can’t be won.

Does this bring dishonor to our troops? Of course not. They have fought bravely and should return home to parades and honor for a job well done. But this idea that the troops “want to stay and finish what they started” is ridiculous. WE TRAIN THEM to honor their Corps and their Country. Of course they will stay and fulfill their orders! They will stay as long as we tell them to because that is what we train them to do. That is the type of unwavering dedication they have. But their honor and loyalty does not make the policies any more correct. In fact it DISHONORS them to put them in harms way on a flawed policy with NOTHING to gain.

Even the Democrats who are against the war are tap dancing around and won’t commit to getting out. Out of all of the Republican candidates left, ONLY Ron Paul never voted for the war to begin with!!! Everyone called him unpatriotic as he went against his own party to preserve what was right, and now he looks like the genius he is.

But let’s put the moral and political reasons aside for a moment. We can’t AFFORD the war! It is bankrupting our country!
MONETARY POLICY

This guy has only written 5 books on this subject and is the most knowledgeable economic-minded Congressman in Washington. NO candidate can hold a candle to him on economic policies and knowledge (which is a major reason why they refuse to debate him on the subject).

Most people don’t even realize how the Federal Reserve System works and how they are transferring wealth from the American people to Wall Street and the wealthiest Americans through “interest rate cuts”. Fractional Reserve Banking is destroying the entire world and it started with the Bank of England.

Fractional Reserve Banking means that a bank only needs 1 dollar on hand (in reserve) for every 10 dollars it loans. Think about this for a second. If you go into a bank for a loan, the bank magically creates the money you borrow and charges you interest on it. The only value they have is the paper you sign promising to pay the money back. You are giving the bank an (IOU). They can then leverage your “promise” to pay back the loan to then loan more mythical money to the next person. They just add the numbers to your bank account but the money isn’t in their vault to lend in the first place!

When you pay the loan back with Interest, they now have even more money to lend (again 10 dollars for every one dollar they have.) So, every loan taken out for cars, or credit cards, or homes, or education increases the money supply in the country because 9 out of every 10 dollars isn’t the bank’s money or anyone else’s money… it is NEW money created the second you borrowed it.

In fact, it isn’t even paper money either, it is just numbers in a database. Only about 5% of the “money” in the U.S. is actual tangible currency. But these loans increase the money supply which causes inflation thereby making every dollar in the world worth less.

But it gets worse, the little tangible currency they DO have in reserve is debt money too because it is money that someone else paid back on their loan. This continues over and over again which makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the currency to be backed by anything of intrinsic value like GOLD. It is debt money backed by debt money. People think that for every dollar in the world, there is the equal value in Gold in a vault somewhere. This is not true. In fact it can’t be true just based on how the system works. You don’t walk into the bank and ask for a loan of $10,000 and they say “hold on a second” while they run out and mine enough gold to cover what they are about to lend you.

Here’s a good example:

If you asked me if you could borrow my lawn mower and you’d pay me $2.00, I’d logically give you my lawn mower and have you sign something saying that you will return it with a payment of $2.00. The lawn mower is the physical asset that I have that you want and since you don’t have one, you’re willing to pay for the ability to use mine right now.

But what if I didn’t have a lawn mower to lend, so instead I just gave you a piece of paper that says “lawn mower” and when you gave the paper back to me, you still had to pay me the $2.00 per our agreement? Sounds silly doesn’t it? What good is a piece of paper to you? But this is what the banks do when they lend you money they DON’T HAVE then ask you to pay interest on it when you pay it back. Meanwhile, inflation goes up each time this happens because there is more money in the economy. It happens so slowly that people barely even realize it until you reach a tipping point like we are hitting right now in our economy. It has taken decades to get here but the Government’s overspending has accelerated it. The FED also caused this because by lowering the Interest Rates they made money easier to borrow. Everyone began borrowing large sums of money (creating the housing bubble) which DRASTICALLY increased the money in our economy. The dollar then crashes and when people can’t pay back their loans we get into a position we are in today.

It is the “perfect storm” of economic disaster. You have a Government spending money like crazy thereby increasing inflation, then you have the FED lowering interest rates which also adds trillions of dollars and increases inflation further. But it would be bad enough if you just had to pay back YOUR loans. Keep in mind that the Government isn’t spending their money. They don’t have any. They are spending YOUR money as a Tax Payer. And when they STILL don’t have enough, they borrow it from the Social Security Trust Fund. And when that is all gone they are borrowing more from China and you, as a Tax Payer, have to pay that back too. This is how the people get completely SCREWED!!!! It is like having someone else run up your credit card without you knowing. Eventually you are going to be stuck with a massive bill.

In fact, this banking system was the primary reason for the Revolutionary War. The Boston Tea Party was a footnote compared to the real issue the colonies were facing.

There was a shortage of material for minting coins in the colonies, so they began to print their own paper money, which they called Colonial Script. This provided a very successful means of exchange and also gave the colonies a sense of identity. The Colonies were flourishing as a result but that isn’t how things were run in Europe.

During a visit to Britain in 1763, The Bank of England asked Benjamin Franklin how he would account for the new found prosperity in the colonies. Franklin replied.

“That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Script. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers.

In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one.“ — Benjamin Franklin

The Bank of England (controlled by the powerful bankers and the Rothchilds) had created currency from debt. They would lend money they don’t have to governments then charge interest for the use of the currency. When they realized that the American Colonies had created their own debt-free currency the Bank of England, the world’s most powerful independent bank, used its influence on the British parliament to press for the passing of the Currency Act of 1764.

This act made it illegal for the colonies to print their own money, and forced them to pay all future taxes to Britain in silver or gold which made the International bankers much wealthier.

“In one year, the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity ended, and a depression set in, to such an extent that the streets of the Colonies were filled with unemployed.” — Benjamin Franklin

In his autobiography Franklin revealed:

“The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War.“ — Benjamin Franklin

But even after America won, it didn’t stop. The Rothchilds were funding the Rockefellers, Morgans (of J.P. Morgan), Lehmans, Vanderbilts, Warburgs, Sterlings, Carnegies, and other major families to create a central bank in the U.S. Three times they tried and failed. Lincoln, Jackson, Jefferson, and Franklin all fought against these powerful men who tried to take control of the government and the U.S. currency.

Then, in 1913 they formulated the perfect plan. They got Woodrow Wilson elected as president and controlled several seats in Congress. The Federal Reserve Act was proposed in 1908 by Nelson Aldrich (whose daughter married Rockefeller’s son). The Act created the “Federal Reserve System” which transferred control of the money supply from Congress to the banking system.

Voting on the Act was scheduled during the strange hours of 1:30 am to 4:30 am on Monday, December 22 1913. There were about 40 substantial differences between the House and Senate versions that were supposedly described, deliberated upon, debated, reconciled, and voted upon in an unprecedented 4 1/2 minutes per item.

At 4.30 am, a prepared report of this Committee was handed to the printers. Senator Bristow of Kansas, the Republican leader, stated on the Congressional Record that the Conference Committee had met without notifying them, and that Republicans were not present and were given no opportunity either to read or sign the Conference Committee report. The Conference report is normally read on the Senate floor. The Republicans did not even see the report. Some senators stated on the floor of the Senate that they had no knowledge of the contents of the Bill.

At 6:02 PM on December 23, when many members had already left the Capital for the Christmas holiday, the very same day that the Bill was hurried through the House and Senate, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 into law.

THIS IS DOCUMENTED FACT and is how the Federal Reserve was fraudulently created.

This time, the writers of the bill removed the word “Bank” and called it the “Federal Reserve” to fool the public into thinking it was a Government entity. This bank has NEVER been completely audited and it is about as “federal” as Federal Express.

The FED began taking more control over the U.S. currency and had received threats in the past to dismantle it. The FED itself has admitted to causing the Great Depression but claims that “they’ve learned their lesson”. They did this by limiting the money supply for an extended period of time. Today, the vast majority of American currency is debt money backed by debt (not gold).

The U.S. Treasury prints bills and sells the sheets at $0.02 to the FED. This is basically the cost of printing. They then wave their magic wand and turn it into money and loan it back to the Government at face value plus interest. We are being charged interest on the use of our own currency!!! The IRS was supposedly created by Congress with the ratification of the 16th amendment but it has been well documented (and confirmed in many courts) that it was never properly ratified and there is no statute anywhere that shows Congress creating the position of “commissioner of Internal Revenue” in 1862. Through deception and influence the Bankers had a major roll in creating the IRS so that the American people can pay the Interest on the government’s debt owed to the FED. It is the biggest slight-of-hand robbery of all time.

The American people have been hoodwinked and have been fooled into thinking that the Federal Reserve Board is controlled by the Government. It isn’t. It is a transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class (who borrow most of this money created out of thin air) to the powerful bankers and Wall Street investors.

Here is a quote from the former head of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank that explains it in its most simple form,

“When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.”

Even Woodrow Wilson realized what he had done later in life and was quoted:

“A great industrial nation is controlled by it’s system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world– no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.” — President Woodrow Wilson

“The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s money” – Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1923

“From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.” — Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. , 1913

“We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.” — Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 (Rep. Pa)

“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes it’s laws.”– Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild (Bank of England)

“Banks lend by creating credit. (ledger-entry credit, monetized debt) They create the means of payment out of nothing.” — Ralph M. Hawtrey, Secretary of the British Treasury

“Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States.” — Sen. Barry Goldwater (Rep. AR)

“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it’s issuance.“ — President James Madison

Ron Paul is the only candidate that speaks out against these issues and wants to fix them.
BALANCED BUDGETS

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who has NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget, even when he was voting against everyone else in his party. This is a man based on the principals of the founding fathers, not someone who will change positions with the political tide.

Here is some more food for thought. McCain and Huckabee campaigns are BOTH in debt. They’ve spent more than they have raised. Romney has also spent more than he has raised but has made up the difference with is own personal finances. ONLY RON PAUL has managed his campaign the same way he would manage the country… within budget. Doesn’t this say something that these other candidates are already overspending and they aren’t even elected yet?

Eliminating deficits and the national debt would save us $400 billion per year on interest payments to China and everyone else we’re in debt to. Half of what you pay in income tax every year pays only that interest on borrowed money we’ve already spent!!!
ENDING THE MILITARY EMPIRE

Do we really need 700 bases in 130 countries at a cost of 500 - 700 billion a year? Consider for a moment that the deficit is about $500 billion EACH year. This is above and beyond the $9 TRILLION we already owe.

Yes, we need a strong military and Ron Paul supports that, but we don’t need to be stationed all over the earth. It serves no good purpose, angers militant Islamic extremists and consumes the other half of our income tax (and more).
ELIMINATING THE IRS?

If we eliminated the debt and this overseas expenditure we wouldn’t even need an income tax. It sounds like a radical idea doesn’t it? But this country got along fine for nearly two hundred years without an Income Tax, so why is this so surprising?

The interest expense paid on the National Debt is the third largest expense in the federal budget. Only the Military and Income Redistribution (Department of Health, food stamps, etc.) are higher. Social spending is the LARGEST expense in the federal budget.
WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY?

Social Security is not part of the Federal Budget general fund. But don’t let that fool you! Right now there is more money being paid into the Social Security Trust Fund than being paid out to beneficiaries. This is because most baby boomers haven’t retired yet and are still paying in.

BUT.. what is left over is being “borrowed” and used in the general fund. Government agencies using the money from Social Security promise to pay it back (IOUs). So ALL of the money in the Social Security Trust Fund has already been spent as part of the National Debt!!!!! In essence, Social Security is just another tax collection tool for the government.

We’ve been conditioned to think that “well this is just the way it is” but it is this type of control that perpetuates this downward spiral into economic disaster.

Ron Paul wants to eliminate the IRS (which costs 10 billion just to run), but he isn’t an idiot. He knows he can’t step into office and **poof** the IRS is gone. He also realizes that the country NEEDS the IRS if it continues spending the way it does. But his plan is to cut spending thereby slowly phasing out the need for the IRS while also restoring Social Security for those who have already paid into it, and giving young people the option of getting out of it. What better stimulus package is that?

Most people have the false idea that without income tax, there would be no money for the government to run on. Well, it is true the way things are being run now. But the government still would make more than enough money to run effectively and keep our military strong (here at home) if other spending was eliminated and the monetary policy was fixed. There are corporate taxes, constitutional revenues such as taxes on cigarettes, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, tires, tariffs on trade, military hardware sales, and other minor categories.

This is how Ron Paul expects to get rid of the IRS. He wants to cut needless earmarks and pork barrel spending and cut the wasted money of policing the world at the expense of the American tax payers.

He is a constitutionalist who will preserve personal liberties, let Americans keep their money and spend it however they wish.

If you are taxed on productivity, then you are ENCOURAGED not to work harder or strive for anything more than you have now. As our system is now, there is no incentive to strive to make more and be successful. The more you make, the more you are taxed. You are PENALIZED for ambition and this effects all of America.

It means you don’t buy more luxury items, it means you don’t invest back into American businesses. And even if you do somehow break through and work your whole life to leave something for your children, you are taxed AGAIN when you die through the Death (uh, I mean “Estate”) tax. The IRS causes an endless spiral downward for American productivity.
WHY RON PAUL?

Main Stream Media have colluded against Ron because it is in the best interest of their parent companies, many of which are owned by the banking conglomerates. They stand to lose this gravy train they’ve been living on for nearly 100 years.

For some, they just don’t understand what Ron’s policies are. This is a world of 15 second sound bites and few people take the time to research candidates and what they REALLY stand for. And even if they DO research candidates, they don’t really research the ROOT CAUSES of these issues.

Some say these are radical ideas when in fact it is just common sense. It is the American people who need to wake up and realize that this country is in SERIOUS trouble and it has nothing to do with the sub-prime rates or housing market. Lower rates just encourage more debt which transfers more wealth to the bankers. The “bubbles” we are seeing now are just symptoms to the disease. Ron Paul is the ONLY person talking about an actual CURE.

People don’t understand that Social Security, Health Care, Jobs, Gas Prices, and virtually every other social issue all relates to monetary policy. They don’t make that connection and therefore they don’t understand Ron Paul. But it is changing.
Widespread Popularity

Ron Paul has raised more money online than ANY OTHER candidate Democrat or Republican. Every time his supporters have a “money bomb” he has raised over a million dollars. He has created a grass roots ARMY of die hard followers. Some people support him even without Ron really asking for their support but such is the case when you resonate the message of freedom. Ron is the first to say that it isn’t his message at all. It is just the message of the founding fathers; the message of the Constitution.

He supports no more foreign aid (again, money we don’t have) to Arab tyranny. We continually support Israel while stripping them of their national sovereignty and sending arms to all of the countries that want to attack them… go figure. He wants to be friends with Israel and encourage democracy but right now Israel can’t do anything without running it by the U.S. first. This isn’t good for any country and certainly not for the American people. Israel is a strong and proud nation and is very capable of running their own country without us pulling their strings.

Ron Paul is against overthrowing elected governments like in Pakistan and installing military dictators, only to then send him our borrowed money. Right now our government supports Saudi Arabia’s oppressive government, and Jordan who is a police state, then we tell the world we are promoting democracy in Iraq. This facade needs to end!

Instead, these candidates are squabbling over who said what, who is MORE Republican, or making this an issue about Race on the Democratic side.

There is no guarantee that Ron Paul will win, even though only 8% of the delegates have been awarded so far. Some people may ask why anyone would vote for a candidate that might not win?

It is that precise thought process that has destroyed this country. People are voting as if they were electing the prom queen. This is the most important vote you can make and you are either going to be a sheep or think for yourself and do everything you can to fix this country.
All About A Brokered Convention

Primaries are VERY different than general elections. Delegates that you think you’ve won can be taken from you later. The “winning” of states is mostly irrelevant except to establish momentum or to win a nomination outright if you are a clear frontrunner.

Most people didn’t think Ron would last through New Hampshire. 11 candidates started on the Republican side and now their are 4. Ron Paul isn’t going anywhere and you need to understand that this has nothing to do with the popular votes. It has to do with Delegates.

In some of these states (Florida for example) delegates aren’t even selected at the primary. McCain thinks he won Florida but it technically isn’t decided yet. Just the people who will then select the delegates were selected, and now that people have dropped out of the race, that support can actually transfer. People can change their mind on who they support (and they often do). Some of these candidates think they’ve “won” states when really they haven’t yet.

Another example is Maine. Romney won the state but most polls show that McCain took second, barely edging out Ron Paul. But this is only in the popular vote. Delegates are won precinct by precinct. So if all of your support was in one or two precincts, you can actually win fewer delegates. Ron Paul actually destroyed McCain in the delegate count in Maine and is expected to get 35%. Granted, it is a smaller state and therefore marginalized by the biased media, but it is a very good showing nonetheless.

However, it is the Convention that matters. It is the Convention that selects the candidate for the party and the delegates are simply supporters at the convention. But this only works if no single candidate has won the required number of delegates to get the automatic party bid. If no candidate wins outright, then this will go to the convention where there will be a massive political debate for the right of the nomination, and the number of supporters you have at that convention can make all of the difference. It is like deciding a soccer game by penalty kicks.

But here’s the trick. In the first round of voting at the convention, most delegates are “bound” to vote for whoever won their precinct or whatever the proportional delegate assignment was. Some delegates are uncommitted and can vote for anyone. BUT, many Ron Paul supporters signed up to become delegates, and if it goes to a second round of voting, all delegates are allowed to vote for whoever they wish. It is here where Ron Paul supporters can overwhelm the convention and steal the election.

But all Ron Paul needs to do is get that far, which is no small task. Ideally, no one would win. We WANT Huckabee, McCain, Romney, and Paul to split votes.

After Ron Paul won 10% of the caucus votes in West Virginia, he was out for the second round of voting, but his supporters then voted for Huckabee to send him over the top and giving him all 18 delegates so that McCain and Romney couldn’t get any. Some of McCain’s supporters also switched to Huckabee to sabotage Romney. But this means that Huckabee doesn’t REALLY have 18 delegates. Some of those are Ron Paul supporters and would vote for Ron Paul at a national convention. There is a lot of strategy here. Huckabee also knows that his best chance is to have this primary election drag on to the convention. Everyone is positioning themselves and McCain and Romney is doing everything they can to lock this thing up and get the automatic bid.

So Ron may actually have the “support” from the delegates that other candidates think they already have. Huckabee and McCain are nearly out of money. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t looked at the official campaign finances. McCain and Huckabee have debt in the millions. If this comes down to a two or three person race, the media will not be able to ignore Ron any longer which is a scary thought considering how well he has done with a virtual media blackout.

In a general election, Ron Paul has proven to be the only Republican candidate to attract independents and get votes from the other side. The Democrats worry about this and hope that McCain wins as a fight with him is very predictable.

Obama and Clinton have raised a lot of money but they are wasting it all trashing each other and destroying their party in the process. By making their party so polarized, it may be a major obstacle in a general election. People praise Hillary for her experience yet she is entrenched in a system that is already broken. She voted for the war and has taken millions of dollars from special interests. Why the hell would she suddenly change now? Her (and Bill’s) dirty politics is a sign of things to come.

Obama is a charismatic figure but his policies are based on the structure currently in place, he wont fix the underlying issues. He wants to tax those people who work hard to get ahead in this world and give their money to people who aren’t paying taxes and using up our “free” services. He doesn’t promote free trade or believe in cutting spending and that fact ALONE means that it is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for him to fix the economy. You can’t just keep saying you want to “CHANGE” America then not provide any plans that will actually fix our problem. “Change” doesn’t always mean Positive Change.

Ron Paul is the only person that isn’t talking in ABSTRACT wishy-washy terms. How many times do we have to listen to these candidates recite their resume of what they’ve done yet refuse to layout a real plan that makes fiscal sense? It is all smoke and mirrors and the American people get caught up in it.

They can talk about the national deficit and spending all they want but these other candidates (Democrat and Republican) can’t seem to balance a simple checkbook. Want proof?

As if the economic “stimulus” package wasn’t bad enough by borrowing billions more from China only to put it back into the hands of the bankers and increase inflation further, the Democrats in the Senate opted to add another 40 billion to the bill. They spend as if there is no limit to the national charge card.

An economy CAN be stimulated by consumer spending but people are NOT going to go out and buy toys, clothes, and cars with an extra $600. They will pay an extra mortgage payment, or pay a little more on a current credit card balance. This does NOTHING but keep the bankers at bay for another month before they lose their house!

But let’s say people actually DID spend it on consumer products. Most of the products are MADE in China, so we are borrowing money from China with interest, only to buy products made in China. Who’s economy are we stimulating here? Meanwhile we just increased the national debt even more just to send out this “stimulus” package thereby increasing inflation and making the money you JUST got worth even less. Isn’t there ANYONE is Washington that has common sense?!!! Oh yeah… 10-time congressman Ron Paul.
We’ve had a Good Economy Right?

I talked to someone today who said that they thought the economy has generally been pretty good over the last 6 years or so. My response was a simple analogy.

Imagine someone giving you a card with a 2 million dollar credit limit. Over 6 years you live off this card. You buy new clothes, take great vacations, and buy presents for your kids. You would look back on those 6 years and say that your life was pretty good wouldn’t you? But what happens when the card is maxed out? Now you owe the 2 million plus interest. You try to get another credit card just to make the payments on the first one, but in doing so you owe more interest and now have even more debt.

This is what our Government and the FED have done to this economy. People think it is the housing crisis but this has nothing to do with it. It is just the RESULT of the failed financial and monetary policy. Eventually, people are going to stop lending America money and we wont be able to print any more because the dollar will be worthless. Then what do you think will happen? Consumer purchases drop further, which forces companies to cut back, which sends unemployment through the roof, which of course causes even less consumer spending. You can’t lower interest rates to “stimulate” the economy because there is no money to borrow anymore. This isn’t a “gloom and doom” scenario. I know you have common sense. Do the math yourself.

But this CAN be fixed if drastic measures are taken immediately.

I don’t worship at the alter of Ron Paul and I don’t even agree with EVERY single thing he says but you need to look at the big picture. Look at the issues that will REALLY effect your life. Imagine never paying social security or federal income tax on your wages, yet still having a strong country and a powerful military here at home protecting our borders. That isn’t weakness, that’s prudent. Now imagine the alternative if things continue the way they are. This should be a NO BRAINER decision for any rational person.

Vote for whoever you want, but make an informed decision. If the issues above make sense and are important to you, then Ron Paul is the only candidate to choose from. A fiscal and social conservative that will FINALLY get this country back on track.

But don’t take my word for it. Go to the Ron Paul site and let him convince you. What do you have to lose? At the very least you are more educated and better informed.

We started with many more Republican candidates, all deemed "front runners," "likely winners," and "candidates to beat."

Now we're left with a liberal in a weak disguise who also happens to be a warmonger as our "sure thing" candidate.

But over in the corner, still fighting and growing stronger by the day, is the "dark horse," "fringe," "kooky," "radical," "libertarian" candidate with no chance of winning. The media blackout and subtle or not-so-subtle bias in articles/pieces by people like the author above try to help ensure no one can take Dr. Paul seriously.

Time is running out for deception and ignorance.

Ron Paul follows the law, believes in not spending more $ than you have, respecting individual rights, not invading random foreign countries to kill innocent people, and having a sound currency so people can adequately plan for their economic future. These are bastions of conservatism and rational American thought.

The only people who shouldn't like Ron Paul are those who want themselves and their children to be on welfare forever while the country burns around them.

Ron Paul 2008!
Ron Paul 2008!
Ron Paul 2008!

The further we are into the election, the more we are wondering whether or nor Obama is a real Democrat—He is a big Reagan admirer, calling Reagan and the GOP the Party Of Ideas for the past 15 years; He attracts more Independent voters than traditional Dem voters; He is an outsider for Latino immigrants; We just don't know whom Hillary is running against, a Republican or a Democrat a honorable man or a hypocrite.

Are we sure Obama is not a Muslim—His middle name Hussein, his book about his deadbeat father from Kenya, and the years he and the family resided in Indonesia, the largest Muslim contry.

Yesterday, Warren Buffet stated that if something wasn't done [immediately, I assume] to stop the decline of the U.S. dollar, it would be worthless in 5-10 years! Do all the war mongers out there in Hillary/McCain land who think we "just can't leave", care just a bit more about the Iraqi people than us U.S. taxpayers? As Ron Paul has stated " we don't have the money". But China does so let's borrow it! Is this their recipe for a strong dollar? Has anyone from R.P. hdqrs. tried to contact Buffet to see if he'd give an opinion of which candidate is addressing,... with sound financially conservative ideas,... the ominous threat THIS IS, to ALL americans? His name recognition may garner some national media attention, which is what Ron Paul needs. Unless or until the Ron Paul campaign gets 'even some of the gov't employee voters' [of which there are many hardworking and necessary people] to UNDERSTAND, that 'our dollar is the same one they use' and our '0.00' means '0.00' for them, they won't give Ron Paul their vote. U.S. Gov't employees vote's total half + of the voters. Ron Paul needs to make it clear that many tough decisions about cutting back on wasteful gov't doesn't mean loss of all gov't jobs, it's simply a measure that MUST be done,[as it is in the private sector every day] to ensure prosperity for ALL americans. We need to get a MAJOR ENDORSER WHO THE MSM WON'T IGNORE to get Paul's message out LOUDLY! Will someone please get this idea forwarded for consideration? As our currency is looked at less desireably by other countries for credit consideration, WE,... will be FORCED,... to fix it. Now if Hillary/McCain aren't even smart enough to be talking about the solution, or more importantly, 'connected' enough to even realize it,... when their normal solution of borrow the money doesn't fly,... and our money is worthless,... where will we be? Answer: In a less peaceful revolution! The war mongers won't have to turn on their tv's to see a war, all they'll have to do is open their drapes. Dr. Ron Paul IS THE PRESCRIPTION for our govern'mental' illness. We need every Ron Paul supporter to be as innovative as possible NOW concerning bouncing ideas around on how to make more, bigger waves of interest and true patriotic principles rise up out of un-interested, dismayed, dissilusioned people who think he can't win! Tell them to be stubborn about keeping all they've worked their whole lives for and the freedom to enjoy it! If we don't make this happen now with the excellent candidate we have,...we're blowin' it. VOTE ONLY RON PAUL, as nominee or write-in, campaign BOLDLY, and let's get RON PAUL ELECTED PRESIDENT!

Unfortunately, many of our Republican brethren view the war as a sort of sporting event. That we've invaded a country which did not declare war on us, and then listened to a kaleidescope of reasons why, the latest being - to discontinue the effort will create chaos- proves that to "cease and desist" is seen as a forfeit and hence a loss. Nobody is suggesting surrender, but how else would we truly lose other than surrender?
Please fellow conservatives, WAKE UP! If we can't let go of the tarbaby, Hillary is a given.

I too, am not a Republican but I joined the Republican party to vote for the only Real Statesman-candidate, Ron Paul. I am turning my Sheeple friends to the Republican party to vote for a "real change", the Ron Paul Revolution is bringing new people, young people, to the party. I was at my caucuses the other night and know why we are leaning to the left...everyone is 55+ waiting for their government check...yep- you've been trained to be a socialist and you don't even know it! Do you faux-conservatives even care?? This election is bigger than the republicans, democrats, its about being a Free American. There are laws in place that are undermining our national sovereignty, and the Patriot Act which undermines our civil liberties. Wow- we must be wack-jobs for believing that the Patriot Act is something other than to protect us from the evil Moslems! Bush- more than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT HAS DONE MORE HARM TO Our civil and individual rights than any other president in the last 100 years. Ron Paul is the only telling us the truth.
Ron Paul has the most military support. More than ALL THE Other candidates combined. What does that tell us? What does that say about McCain? He has the largest grass roots campaign. He always returns money from his Congressional budget. He believes that we can run our own lives, he doesn't want the Nanny State to run them for us. I urge all concerned Americans of all political affiliation, of all races and all sexes to vote for the only candidate that loves America, and has many years of proving it. Neither the Billary Slime machine nor the republication dirt diggers have found ANYTHING ON PAUL. Dr. Ron Paul.It's hard to believe in the world of Clintonisims, where smoking Pot is not smoking Pot, where having sex is not having sex and all the back office Arkansas dirty pool-scum bag politic...NOTHING is out there on Dr. Paul

It never fails to amuse how a guy (Mc Cain) who traded his patriotism against America while his fellow soldiers languished, was involved in the Keating 5 Savings & Loan scandal, is friendly towards Ted Kennedy could possibly get so many delegates in Super Tuesday.

And why is it hardly ever brought up?

America evidently is full of under educated worker bee drones who think they are somehow not having to pay for their 'FREE" tax rebate check.

Well maybe they won't, but their children & grandchildren will.

Instead of that tax rebate check....why don't we get some of the big chunks of money we all spent overpaying at the pump this year?

Oil company record profits a coincidence? I doubt it as our government approves oil company mergers as fast as possible creating a monopoly situation & then prices go up, up, up !!!

The people in power in this country are in control of the mainstream media as well.

You are currently living under the illusion of freedom.

If you think you don't, you are a inexperienced fool.

In my business in Las Vegas.... i constantly see Saudi's & Chinese coming here on vacation, mostly in big groups & all wearing $3,000 dollar tailored Armani suits & the women wearing all couture designer fashions.

Spending money like it is going out of style.

You work your a** off & never see your family, can barely pay your bills & then you vote for Hillary, Obama or Mc Cain hoping for 'Change'. lol

Good luck with that. You are living in a dream world.

Our politicians are bought & paid for.

WHY OH WHY DO SO MANY OF RON PAUL'S SUPPORTERS HAVE A CAPS LOCK FETISH? IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO BELIEVE THEY (SAY) "RAISED MULTI-MILLION DOLLARS FOR A UNIVERSITY" OR (SAY) OWNED A MANSION AND A YACHT... IF, AND IS STRESS THE "IF" THEY COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE A KEYBOARD.

Nearly 5,000 people showed up at the Univ. of Minnesota to hear Ron Paul speak Monday night. He has an amazing base of supporters who are dedicated to him and will accept no other candidate. Believe me, Ron Paul knows exactly what he's doing, collecting delegates!
We love you, Dr. Paul!

Jeff, you're a real wise guy. "30 people" funny. Truth is, he has had over 500,000 highly motivated voters who have been able to see through a complete media facade of this fake election. Take your millions of dunces. I want REAL, INTELLIGENT individuals.

There is no mistaking it. Conservatives are pro-war and pro-deficit.

You can't have a 2.5 trillian dollar war without raising taxes unless you ask our grandkids to pay for it.

So much for family values from this crowd of scumbags.

ron paul gets mistaken everytime he says that iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.. he's not saying that 9/11 was a conspiracy. he's saying that the country of iraq had nothing to do with it.. the right thing to do would have been to declare a constitutional war against the individuals to blame by 'mark and reprisal'.. it allows our military to go after pirates by actual declaration of war.. the right way.

he needs to learn to say that the country of iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. we go kill there kids because of a handful of terrorists.. shame on america

Dr. Paul seems to be an unusual presidential candidate, but in my opinion that is a good thing. I've been dissapointed with all of the leaders we have had so far, I think we need a president to be less 'presidental' and be more of a president.

Quick!
Help conserve our sacred Constitution from Senator McKook, cancel his 100-year jihad against Islam, with your support for "The Founding-Father Among Us Now", OB-GYN Dr. Ron Paul! www.ronpaul2008.com 24/7 &/or 1-800-RON-PAUL 9-5, M-F

OUR COUNTRY IS DOOMED !!!

Constitutional Government and individual Liberty is what made the US the envy of the world.
It is a disgrace. The way that the press has turned Ron Paul into the Invisible Candidate !!

Check out the movie Bullworth. Very Funny, yet it speaks the painful TRUTH about all the corruption within our 2 party system. The realities with how We the people are manipulated to believe the staged propaganda. Warren Beatty should get a Congressional Medal for making this movie.
"Whats that dirty little word? .....SOCIALISM "

RON PAUL is the only candidate worthy of our votes.
Lets here a Loud
BA AA AA from all the sheep who just don't get it.

Ron Paul, February 2nd on the MTV/Myspace debate:

"...under the rules of compassion and morality and as individuals ... we all have an obligation to do whatever we can [to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan]..."

He just lost my vote.

My favorite quote: "War cannot be avoided until the physical cause for its recurrence is removed and this, in the last analysis, is the vast extent of the planet on which we live. Only through annihilation of distance in every respect, as the conveyance of intelligence, transport of passengers and supplies and transmission of energy, will conditions be brought about some day, insuring permanency of friendly relations. What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment."
~Nikola Tesla

The most profound thing I've ever read on the subject of War & Peace.

| /. PEACE

I'm so disappointed that too many Americans are so easily fooled by politicians. Why ignore Paul because he says 9/11 is not connected with Iraq? You must face the facts that you believed and supported the liars in office. There were no WMD (remember the first reason given?)! Before we invaded there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq! Yet now innocent people die everyday for the mess we created and the GOP wants to perpetuate this. I am sickened. We waged a war with 100k troops to try to be cheap. Anyone who opposed this was silenced. Remember the Powell doctrine? Have an exit strategy, win with overwhelming force? Where is that now? McCain wants a 100 year occupation. Is this what you call conservatism?

I hope Ron Paul shakes some conservatism back into the Republican party. I've seen some pretty dismal predictions of what a McCain candidacy will result in electorally, and I don't see any good results for small-government types in this mess.

McCain and Feingold have always been a couple of sillies. Good ole' McCain Feingold Act, eh?

http://www.ncdp.org/The+Truth+about+McCain

Let's see;
The unnecessary wars.
The economy.
The nearly 10 trill Debt.
The out of control spendings etc.

There's ONLY ONE MAN which has sound ideas to all major issues, which will hurt the elites pocketbook. Do your homework America and do your part to undo what we created. Dr. Paul so far has the most knowledges on the crises that we are in!

"A government which govern by guided principals is a government with Pride"

ronpaul2008.com

Ron Paul IS the choice for conservative America. If he doesn't make sense to you, watch less American Idol and read more. :)

"Apparently Paul does not write out his speeches ahead of time and people don't review them and give him pointers otherwise he would not say the things he does."

Are you serious? So let me get this straight: You appreciate the fact that other candidates sugar coat their speeches with bull to get high ratings? You prefer that Mitt Romney switch to pro life so he can get your vote because that's what his manager advised him to do? You support a man dumping his principles and joining the very kind of nonsense he is fighting against?
It's people like you that are at the core of rotten America and it's people like you who will ensure we are never fortunate enough to have a standup man like Paul in the Oval Office.
Then you will bitch and moan about gas being $3.50 a gallon, about the Canadian dollar having more value than ours, about continuing to fight a pointless war in 2010. We are at a dangerous crossroads. And it is pseudo Americans like yourself who are flooring the gas pedal into the brick wall ahead.

I don't agree with everything Ron Paul says, but so far he's stayed the course withh his thoughts and commments where others sway back and forth. He actually cares for this country and that's what we need, we can work on the other aspects that some or most disagree with because they are minor compared to the overall picture.

Ron Paul, the only sane candidate running!

I am confused by your statement that he "lost" them on the 9/11 statement.

How is that?

The President and VP both confirmed that there was NO link between 9/11 and Iraq. Is there something they in the room know that the ENTIRE world doesn't?

If McCain wins the nomination I will vote 3rd party or independent. The lesser of two evils is still evil to me.

America is doomed and I blame the scum who whined whenever Dr. Paul's name appeared anywhere. Your children will suffer and you will deserve it.

Cpac booed McColaborator. When is the MSM going to report what you can see on YouTube.

Sen. Ron Paul has my gratitude and my vote. The war in Iraq is part of the "New World Order" protocol that we as Americans should fight with every fiber of our being. GO RON PAUL !!

"Apparently Paul does not write out his speeches ahead of time and people don't review them and give him pointers otherwise he would not say the things he does"

So he loses points for not being a panderer? Priceless.

First off, John McCain, unfortunately for us and his family, is an unstable man. His furious temper is well documented. In addition, he has no grasp on economic issues and his view on foreign policy can be summed up in one quote: "Bomb, bomb - bomb, bomb Iran."

I think this whole republican "strategy" is going to backfire. All of the sudden, Ron Paul has less noise to deal with. The people, who were thrown a dozen or so choices can now make a clearer distinction between "sane" and "insane," (to use the author's terms). It's obvious which one is which. I'm not a republican, but Ron Paul certainly appeals to me. Anyone who's delivered babies, thousands of them, has a true appreciation for what's most important in this life. And it's sure not death and destruction. I predict the repub elite is in for a real shocker.

I reckon we stay in Iraq for another hundred years. when the Chinese call in the debt maybe we can give them California or Florida! wake up people, we are bankrupting our children!

Its amazing to me to see that so many Americans actually hate the constitution and believe the founding fathers were crazy. The McCain crowd actually believes that its a crazy fringe concept for a country to follow its own rule of law. Ron Paul has my vote. A for McCain guarantees a Clinton white house and the rise of communism.

As a paper, if you still believe that Iraq had anything to do with 911, than it's time to go back to Burger King. You failed to list his introduction from Bob Barr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l8AIuJJRZo&feature=PlayList&p=7C02EA0A81B668FD&index=0

McCain is a liberal democrat....he almost joined the democrat party not too long ago...research it yourself. So far 547,000 people have voted for Ron Paul...the Repubs needed every vote possible to battle the Obama/Clinton super jaugernaut. If Paul doesn't win, the Republicans will be slaughtered. Period. There's really no other sane way to see it.

It looked like John McCain was reading from cue cards during his speech at the CPAC meeting. Ron Paul spoke from his heart during his speech at the CPAC meeting.
John McCain is a provened flip-flopper and is only pretending to be a conservative. Ron Paul is honest and believes in same things today that he believed in 30 years ago. He is a true conservative.
John McCain's administration would be a continuation of the Bush's administration. A Ron Paul administration would give us something radically different than what we have been getting the last twenty years.

sounds like a good time for another money bomb!!
we're still in it to win!
go RON PAUL

Dear Mark Silva,

You state that Dr. Paul started losing his audiance when he spoke of Iraq having nothing to do with 9/11. Is this your opinion or honest reporting.

Can you or any of your readers tell me how Iraq was part of 9/11?

If only people would take the time to read his platform rather than listen to the media.

Ron Paul is the only true conservative . Those of you who say he is a kook will wish he was elected when you are kick out of your home out of a job ,sons and daughters drafted and you are standing in a bread line waiting for free food .

Truth is beauty, beauty is truth, and Ron Paul's a beautiful man.

This was a pretty good article, and I was very excited as I was reading it. But towards the end, when the writer becomes clearly biased against Dr. Paul and states that people are parting ways with his campaign because of one statement out of many. What a joke the media has become. Boycott now.

Greetings from Scotland, a region in the European Union of Socialist States. I understand that you will be uniting with us in seven years, after you have formed your own North American Union of Socialist States. To give you an insight into life in the socialist utopia, there was a lady driving in Corwall, eating an apple in her car as she drove along. She is alleged to have thrown the apple core out of her car window! She was given an on-the-spot fine of £60 ($120). She refused to pay and is due in court on March 12 to face trial. She denies a charge of "knowingly causing the deposit of controlled waste, namely an apple core, on land which did not have a waste management licence". If found guilty she could go to prison.

Goodness knows how much it is costing the taxpayer to fund this circus not to mention the sinister aspects of the case, which is by no means an exception. Britain is now where the United States is heading. The people have been completely cognitively and emotionally conditioned to accept the most invasive prying into their personal affairs in the name of national security. It is my understanding that even now the United States is being largely governed at all levels by unelected bureaucrats under the Sustainable Development initiative that came out of the Earth conference in Rio in 1992, called Agenda 21. Your President rules by diktat through Executive Orders and signing statements that enable him to ignore legislation passed by Congress. Your Federal judges are deemed to be the only authority able to interpret your Constitution even though the other branches of your Federal government are given that same responsibility by the Constitution itself. If Dr. Paul is not elected President then it will mean the end of the American Dream. The Nightmare has only just begun although it has been in the making for a hundred years or more. The ruling elites' only Achilles heel is their hubris. Perhaps this time they have been too obviously manipulative and deceptive, such is their contempt for the intelligence of the People. Dr. Ron Paul is your only hope, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.

Why do "conservative" Americans feel better to stay in wars? Why are we so fooled? It's a godless profit scheme. Isn't this plain as day?

The emperor has no clothes.

There, I have said it too. Get over it, there is only one conservative left in the race.

No nation building, no policeman to the world, no more empire, protect our borders, fiscal responsibility, humble foreign policy, moral leadership, sound money, smaller government, lower taxes, balance the budget, reduce the national debt, honor social security obligations, pro-life, obey the constitution.

If this isn't enough, then just vote for Ron Paul because he is the most honest and decent person in the race.

Join the Revolution!

what do you mean he started to lose his audience? Iraq did have nothing to do with 9/11.

What is that comment all about?

It is a shame the crowd quieted when Rep Paul began talking about our foreign policy and the fact Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda and Spet. 11th. The truth is like Jeff post # 1, conservatives are war hawks. and in their simplistic view all Muslims are the enemy. It is sad but true. If Rep Paul wants to carry conservatives he needs to focus on his monetary policy and cutting spending rather than trying to convince the radical right that we are not living through a crusade as they depict.
Rep Paul has stood by the same principles his entire campaign and his entire career in government: sound monetary policy, restrained government, limited government spending and regulation and a foreign policy of open trade and diplomacy. It is a solid platform and one that the USA should welcome as it would usher in a time of peace and prosperity. It is a shame more do not read about his policies and simply dismiss them as they differ with the Main stream medias hawkish desire for bigger government.

Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that cuts across political and religious lines. He is also the ONLY candidate who has not violated his oath to office. I say hang the rest of the bums and install Ron Paul as President of the United States by mandate.

I have never heard any politician make more sense or be more honest and straight forward then Ron Paul. Some people have totally bought in to this police the world and spread democracy with war. All part of a bigger plan to be the biggest bully on the block. Ron Paul came to my town last week one point he made during his speech was that in the case of China Korea Japan Germany and Russia that if you look at our relations with those countries now what we accomplished through peace what we could never have accomplished in war. The media is actively betraying us and it gets more obvious with every day, every conscious effort to suppress Ron Pauls message of sound money and small government even though its exactly what this country and planet need. "Truth is treason in the empire of lies".

Geoff, I assume you were joking. This is a good article and gives us the feeling of having been there. Silva is merely reporting on the sentiment of the warmongers in the room.

Ron Paul is the only choice. And since he has no chance, neither do american citizens. Down the vortex we gooooo....

http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/

We will be hearing a lot more from these fellas in the near future . Vote for a real conservative Dr. Ron Paul

Education takes awhile. I only hope the conservatives can divorce themselves from the emotional attachments to this war long enough to hear what Ron Paul is saying. If they can do so by the time of the convention, we may have a champion for our cause that is worthy of our support and can win in November. If we do not, we get more of the same with McCain, or go into hyperdrive with the Democrats. Either way we loose our freedom and our nation through economic collapse. George Stephanopoulos was right about one thing: Its the economy stupid!

Stop spreading lies about Ron. He isn't against public schools, or clean air etc.....he is against federal involvement for them. Central Planning doesn't work in government. Its very wasteful. Keep the money local, keep the decisions local. Public school programs will be better off. Vote for the only sane candidate. Ron Paul.

Google "hacking democracy"

This is why RP isn't doing better. If you are in one of the areas affected by this please seek the affidavits to take legal action on this matter.

To the first guy who said Ron Paul is not sane.....you're an idiot. Thats the problem with America, we have a ton of idiots like you here who have no idea what you are talking about. I bet you don't even know anything about the Constitution which is why you are incapable of understanding a single word of what Paul says. Get some brains, go back to school, get a life, or do whatever you have to do, but please don't sabotage a campaign because you are stupid.

The author's last remark about 911 is what is wrong with America today...you're suffering from deep denial and are unwilling to admit you have been fooled. If 911 is a reason not to vote for Ron Paul then America deserves to lose everything it once stood for

A few suggested campaign slogans for McCain:

John McCain 2008 - Because living is overrated anyway

John McCain/ Wesley Clark 2008 - Let's get it over with already.

Elect John McCain as President - A Mexican on every street, A mushroom cloud over every city

John McCain - 1,000,000 years in Iraq because a hundred just isn't enough

johnny b is right. I bet you watch Fox Noise and believe every word BillO and Rush say. Try pulling your head out of the sand, wake up and really notice what's going on around you. Ron Paul is the only candidate who speaks with any logic and common sense. He's also the only candidate who wants to stick to the Constitution. Remember the Constitution? That body of laws our forefathers wrote to run the country with so we didn't have to deal with fascist imperialist totalitarian despots? I apologize if I'm using too many big words for you. The GOP and the MSM are scared which is why there is a blackout on Ron Paul; they know he's speaks the truth!

Some people making comments
seem to want MAKE-UP over MESSAGE.

Paul has created a MASSIVE hard-core following because of his message and he's done it WITHOUT MEDIA.

The media is CFR, Paul is anti-CFR
All the other candidates are CFR

get it.

Imagine what would happen if he actually got fair media.

We did better in Round One than we expected. Now it's on to rounds Two (delegate coup), Three (independent ticket), Four (control of the House of Representatives) or Five (dissent to anything unconstitutional, along with mutual defense). We only need to win one of the rounds to get rid of the IRS that is funding this despotism, and frankly there is no way to lose Round Five if it comes to that.

The people of the United States simply no longer recognize an unconstitutional federal government. We have seen the result and we will not finance it.

CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) is THE annual event attended by the leading conservatives in the US. At CPAC 2008, Senator Juan McWar was booed continuously. At CPAC 2008, Dr. Ron Paul was cheered continuously. You decide.

I am sick of voting for the lesser of 2 evils. This year I am writing in Ron Paul even if he does not get the nomination. If Obama or Monica Lewinski's ex boyfriend's wife wins the presidency, it will be a bad 4 years as it was with Jimmy Carter, but after Carter came Reagan.

The guy is as crazy as a ----house rat. He wants to get rid of the CIA, dismantle our military bases abroad and go back to isolationism and, yes, those are insane ideas in today's international. That alone guarantees he will never get enough votes from republicans, the party of a strong national defense, to ever be relevant.

There's a reason the old kook had lost the crowd when he started talking about his ideas for dismantling our national defense. Idiot. It has nothing to do with what "warhawks" think about muslims at all. Abandoning Iraq to the terrorists is just the beginning of how Ron Paul would kneecap our military.

McCain for President?.....For the love of G-d! It's as if the Republican Party is gift wrapping the Presidency and presenting it to Hillary Clinton. McCain is just another Neo-Con scumbag. And the ladies dig Hillary even though the only difference between the two on issues is health care. I really wish Fred Thompson had stayed in. Now I have back Ron Paul. He's the only real conservative left.

Unless Ron Paul is on the ballot, the Republican Party will not get my vote.

I am a big Ron Paul supporter. But it's amazing how he can go from winning over an audience with his Feingold/Kennedy zingers, and then lose them by hitting the points where he knows they disagree with him. Maybe the world of politics would be better if all candidates spoke openly about every topic whenever they speak. But we live in a world of soundbites, and Ron Paul refuses to play by the rules of that world. I support his principles. Now we need to find candidates who can do that while at the same time trying to win.

Why does the MSM ignore Ron Paul? Ron Paul wants to end all foreign aid to Arab countries. But he also wants to end all aid to Israel. There's your answer.

Mark Silva,
Wake up! Ron Paul supporters know when some half wit tries to through a fly in the ointment.
For you to be successful at the "fly' thing,attack McCain,or,Huck.They won`t know the difference.
Today I heard the Huck say that he is the most consistent of all Republican candidates.More consistent than Paul,I think not.

http://gopteaparty.com/
Hang on to your hats folks it's going to be a heck of ride this election season . I think the republican party is about to implode . John McCain the FDR of WWIII . I would like to hear from those who oppose Dr Ron Paul why they do . Come on folks give me a reason not to vote for him .

Ron Paul has already won.

C'mon Jeff you have no idea what the heck you are talking about . The good doctor is for a strong military . Why do we have to prop up the South Koean economy with our military presence and others as a matter of fact . You think you are immune from the woes that will be bestowed upon us with our out of control government spending . True skeptics weigh all of the evidence . Give it to me DUDE . God Bless our soldiers . I am a vet and I don not condone the status quo. 100 years in Iraq ??? PTSD ????? Break the economy just like the former Soviet Union ? Are you wacked ?

Perception is an interesting thing. Two people listen to Ron and hear two different speeches. A mispoken word in a live speech in nothing. Principle is what counts. Many think Ron is an eccentric uncle. Isn't it interesting that standing for the Constitution these days is considered eccentric. Jesus said that a prophet is never respected in his own country. The same goes for those who speak the truths that are unpopular. Hang in there, Ron. We won't desert you, no matter how it plays out.

Unless Ron Paul is on the ballot, the Republican Party will not get my vote.

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/national-defense/

RON PAUL on National Defense .

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/

Ron Paul on the issues . Now do your homework .

OK

Don't vote for Dr. Paul because he will bring our troops home,put them on our borders to protect our country and the Big Business plus Black Water will no longer be able to profit from the war.

Us elites hate him and will do everything in our power to stop him and believe me we are POWERFUL and the sheeple believe our lies.

Remember this:

1. People don't like being preached at.
2. People don't like being told they are wrong.
3. People hate Political commercials!

With the right approach, McCain supporters are just as easy to convert as Romney supporters.

We need to be sympathetic.

Agree with McCain positions on meaningless issues. Then approach a position that you think will concern the supporter. (something that appeals to their human nature maybe) Then offer the common sense Ron Paul solution to the particluar issue you chose to use.

The absolute key to this approach is to make sure the new Ron Paul supporter will be able to convert others.

This style of approach will work on anyone. Democrat or Republican. (remember...preaching does not work)

The Republican Party has lost it’s way.
We used to be the Party of small government and low taxes.
We used to be the party who got voted in to “stop” wars.
We used to be the Pro Life Party.
We used to believe in fiscal responsibility.
The Party used to want to get rid of the Department of Education.
We believed that individuals have a responsibility for their own lives and that government should play a limited role it.
We used to believe in a sovereign United States, which means a secure border.

I’m sorry but John “Juan” McCain is NOT THE ANSWER and I will NEVER support him. . He climbed in bed with the Democrats (Fienstein, Lieberman, Kennedy) a long time ago.

Wait a minute! There us another Republican in the race for the Presidency that represents the true Republican Party. Who is it?

Mike Huckabee? NO. Judicial watch has him as one of the Top Ten CORRUPT members of Congress.

Let’s see – who else is running. Well if you go by the Main Stream Media (MSM) you won’t see his picture or speeches.

Ron Paul.

Here are a list of his accomplishments Never Mentioned in the MSM.

Congressman Ron Paul is the only Conservative running for the Presidency.

He set a record fund raising event – raising more money in one day than anyone in the history of politics.

He wants to secure our border and eliminate Birth Right Citizenship.

He wants to end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan NOW.

He has an actual PLAN on how to save the economy.

He wants to stop the runaway spending of these corporate elites in our Congress.

He wants to reverse Roe vs Wade and even has the endorsement of “Roe”.
(Pro Life)

He is endorsed by Barry Goldwater Jr. (Conservative)

His voting record in the Congress (20 years) has no flip flopping on the issues.

He wants the nation to follow the Constitution – Whoa what a concept.

Do the right thing. Do something for America BEFORE you leave office.

Endorse and Campaign for the Champion of the Constitution and a return to the Principles of the Republican Party.

Support the only Ronald Reagan Candidate – RON PAUL.

We will never surrender! We will WIN! GO RON PAUL.

The Victor

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out classed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of your-self before
You can ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

I NOT ONLY THINK IT!

I TRULY BELIEVE IT!

GO RON PAUL

The USA has become a nation of victims. Nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore. "You're making me angry," "She made me do it," and "9/11 forced us to go to war" are the lingo of the day. We look to the FDA, the CIA, the MDA, the FBI, SSI, Medicaid, politicians and health insurance to take care of us. Few of us are willing to stand up and longer and say, "I chopped down the cherry tree." It's easier to just watch television, swallow the 85% of the world's prescription drugs that are consumed here in the US, get fat, and sue the restaurants for "making" obese. Uh. . . Did I mention victim mentality?????

It's true, I think, that Ron Paul doesn't really try to tailor, or even filter, his message to his audience. He's not a polished politician, and it shows.
The conservative war hawks have heard some of the more insane conspiracy theories about 911, and they have become defensive. Unfortunately, some of the more extreme 911 conspiracy groups have also associated themselves with Dr. Paul, further increasing the potential backlash.
Most people (especially conservatives) really don't want to hear or believe that their government is consciously evil, it's like someone talking about your mother.

Dr Paul is telling the truth. John McCain will not get the conservative vote, most of the Republicans hate his guts as do most veterans of war!
Vote Ron Paul to restore sanity.

To Jeff at 1049am,

I can see you were not overly burdened with an abundance of education.

Stop watching MSM TV propaganda. If you can learn to read after the a State education go to ronpaul2008.com and understand the truth.

Why would you hold it against Ron Paul for saying what he believes? It is not a failure of his campaign to speak the truth as he sees it, it is the conservatives that are so used to hearing 9/11 linked to Iraq that are not ready for it. I don't want a politician who tells me only what I want to hear.

Ron Paul is the only true conservative to run since Goldwater. So why aren't Republicans rallying behind him? I would venture to say that it has a lot to do with money, and it is the difference between the "conservative" viewpoint and the libertarian viewpoint.
Ron Paul is seen as not being a "business friendly" Republican. He opposes giveaways to business and is not susceptible to lobbying dollars. This is a threat to the conservative agenda of shifting the tax base away from business and the rich.
All these conservatives know that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. Even Nascar dads understand that at this point. But Iraq is big business. It supports the military industrial complex. Hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money are being bled into the coffers of Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and countless other small and large government contractors. The cost is being borne on the backs of the middle class and in loans from abroad.
Ron Paul is dangerous to the mainstream conservative Republican agenda precisely because he cannot be bought and sold.
No wonder media outlets, completely at the beck and call of their advertising sponsors, demonize Ron Paul at every opportunity.
It goes to show that democracy in America is very much a rigged game, and will remain so as long as Americans refuse to wake up.
The coming of the Internet into politics and the democritazation of "opinion-making" must scare the bejezus out of anti-Robin-Hood conservatives who have worked so hard to gain control of media outlets.

Anyone who thinks that some Muslim hijacked a plane and flew it into the world trade center and some Americans did not have a hand in it is asleep and has not done their home work. Of course Ron Paul is going to loose some of them. They are ignorant. They believe anything you tell them. Do a little research. Find out who makes money during war. Find out if those who make money from war have any part in starting the war. Any ten year old with a computer can find out this information.

Re-read the 14th ammendment. Do it with a dictionary this time. Realize that it did the exact oposite of freeing slaves. It made everyone a slave.

Also, I heard a comment from a prominent attorney. We brought up getting rid of the IRS in conversation. He said “You can’t run a country like that.”

Again, this is ignorant. Do your research and you will find that prior to IRS the United States government had no debt! There was a surplus of cash.

There is no comparison between Ron and any of the other candidates - whether they be Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb.

Listening to the rest, is like landing on the wrong planet - arrogance, deception, willful ignorance . . . thoroughly disgusting . . . hopefully the American boobs will not get all the government they pay for.

No matter what happens this election us Paulites have already won. We have the constitution and common sense on our side. If the Republican party wants to shun us fine. The party needs us more then we need them and if they dont want to face the truth they will fade into history just as the Whigs did. Realize this my fellow Paulites, though the campaign may have its shortcomings the message does not. The torch will be passed on to us and it is our constitutional duty to fight for our individual rights. Though we may lose this battle we will win the war of ideas this I am sure of. Keep fighting the good fight! God bless our Republic!

Bravo, people! I am so proud to be a part of this movement of citizens who take the responsibilities of being Americans so seriously. Ron Paul, the Truth, and hopefully all the future candidates for local, state, and federal posts who believe in them, have got my vote, now and forever.

Many People are confused today about what is happening in this country.
Ron Paul is reminding us
about what made this country great!
Stop listening to the media
show, and find out who you
are voting for!
http://knowbeforeyouvote.com

If it's a brokered convention, you've got another think and a long battle ahead. Honestly, if Paul drops out, my vote will go to the Democratic nominee. I've been telling people this from the get-go. They better wake up before the GOP looses the White House. And they will if they don't open their eyes.

IF we have to WRITE RON PAUL in on the ballots in NOVEMBER!!!!!

RON PAUL, WE'll WRITE YOU IN!!!!

The complete and total ignorance of the American people scares me almost as much as Juan McCain! People - do some research and quit listening to the enemy, aka the media!

After more than 5 years Ron Paul still does not understand why we are in Iraq and continues to perpetuate the lies and popular sound bites of our enemies. Pathetic!

Not only pathetic but sad, as I would prefer him over Juan except for his insane foreign policy and stand on the war.

Use of the name "Juan" as a pejorative is an indication of racist thought. You'll fit right in with Ron Paul. Got something against hispanics whether they're legal or illegal, eh?

Iraq didn't have anything to do with the attack on 9/11. Your sitting in front of the information highway people. Learn how to use it to your advantage.............

Now that Mitt Romney is officially out ("suspended operations") of the race his 5 Kids can now join the Military and support GWOT there Father supports go bad! since his kids are now not needed supporting there Daddy.

"I have a question here about something I can't understand. Dr. Paul I thought was suppose to have a strong showing in west virgina. How can it be that he had absolutly 0 votes in that state? C'mon no way. Whats going on here?" My answer:
The entire system is corrupt, Ken. In Ct. we had polling station volunteers telling voters that Ron Paul had withdrawn from the race. This has also happened in New Jersey and New York and who knows how many other states. In NH they are still having a row over recounting in which many of Dr. Paul's votes disappeared. And so it goes on.
As regards the media, there needs to be a campaign of "backlash". Write the stations, post comments, cancel subscriptions. Newspapers in particular are already suffering, thousands of canceled subscriptions with a letter stating why will perhaps make them wake up. I for one am disgusted! NPR has yet to mention him and didn't even have him listed as a candidate. I withdrew my support of this station.
As for Ron Paul, he is the only one that can win against Hillary. People trust Dr. Paul.

Is it not a FACT that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? Even Bush admitted thus far. So I don't get the friction here.

Even after this the MSM continues to pretend this is a 2 man race.

GO RON! We love you!

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/war-and-foreign-policy
Ok Lea what's wrong with Ron Pauls foreign policy ? Over 30 years ago the US was training the Iranians ( supplied the Shaw with F-14 Tomcats)and supplied Osama and his band of brothers with weapons and support . We chummed up with Saddam. Now we distroyed Iraq and Afghanistan . Iran will be next . I guess you can't let those pesky Chinese get all that oil can we . I can go on .

"Yes the answer is Ron Paul. And before the GOP figured that out, it killed itself. With a total blackout from the media, with the other candidates laughing at him while he was on stage Ron Paul managed to bring more people into the the party than any “contracts with America” ever could.

Everything he is warning you about right now is happening. Look at the dollar, look at our debt, look at the entitlements. Even the GOP’s beloved war has an astronomical cost. All of that, is the Republican Party’s fault.

We were going to get rid of the Dept of Ed, remember that? We where going to get rid of the Dept of Energy, Cut entitlements, lower taxes, Keep the government out of peoples lives, and we were not going to start unnecessary wars and nation build. Remember that?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, nothing, period. There is no argument to be made there. Ron Paul told you that. Just like the CIA told everyone that later on. And yet, the GOP still laughed at him.

The GOP deserves what it gets with this election. They marginalized the greatest candidate for the office of president we’ve ever had.

We will have a democrat in office. With a democratically controlled congress. They will irreparably damage the country. Period. They will Tax at a time when the nation can not handle it. They will print more and more money to fund all the services they want, and in the process they’ll kill the dollar. It’s already on it’s knees.

Yet for all of that, I will not blame the Dems. I will blame the GOP. Had the GOP honored it’s “Contract with America”, we never would have been in this situation. It was republicans that started the war, it was republicans that thrashed Habeas Corpus, that formed DHS, that spied on it’s own citizens.

Those things are directly the fault of the GOP. And if I was the republican party chair, I wouldn’t expect too much support from the Ron Paul Revolution. You turned your back on us, we will turn our backs on you, and we stand there as the GOP destroys itself, and someday, we will step in and try to fix the damage the GOP made, but when we do, we won’t be Republicans, we will be real conservatives, that do not pander to any special interests, that don’t start bankruptcy educing wars. And we will put Government on the tightest leash imaginable. But before that happens, the GOP has to get out of our way.

Don’t count on the party returning to it’s glory years with help from us. The GOP means absolutely nothing to most of us now. Look at your candidates. Your front runner. That’s what your party has become. A bunch of open border, war mongering, civil rights smashing, big spending liberals. I want nothing to do with that."

I really hope Ron Paul gets nominated.

At least he won't be pandering to special interest.

I just like Ron Paul's idea of freedom compared to McCain's version with the patriot act in place.

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/border-security-and-immigration-reform/

For Jeff 4:26 pm
Ron paul is not a racist . BTW the president of the Austin NAACP has come out in support of Ron Paul check your facts .

I will be voting for Ron Paul. I have done my research and this man speaks logic and truth and stands for the very things that will help this nation. If a candidate other than him is elected to office, i will still stand by my beliefs, ron paul, and with others who hold these beliefs... And we will be a force and a voice of reason, truth, and decency in a time where there will be none.

Re: Ken Mercer's question. . .

Steve Miller, a 27-year-old Brooklynite for Ron Paul, reported to prisonplanet.com (see: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/070208_crossed.htm) that poll workers at PS 180 at 57th and 16th Avenue wrongly informed a voter who wanted to cast a ballot for the Texas Congressman that there were only 2 Republicans on the ballot.

Miller, who is a volunteer poll-wacther for Paul, said the woman tried to vote on a machine, but was given an emergency ballot when the machine malfunctioned. She was then informed by "multiple" poll workers, who repeated their claims to Miller, ("Right to my face," he said), that Ron Paul wasn't on the ballot.

We're screwed! Ron Paul is the only logical choice. The media has 75% of this country brainwashed. The people that are against RP must want us to fail as a country. It's not that hard to see who is for the people. Yet somehow the majority don't see that. RP is never mentioned in the media. I'm ashamed that it's come to this. I really feel like this is one of our last chances to do something before it's to late.

Mark, Thanks for the great article. Please check out Dr. Paul's book,"A Foreign Policy of Freedom", if you have'nt already.It is brilliant. I look foward to more articles about Dr. Paul. Fred Calaicone, Atlanta

If whole world was given the right to vote in upcoming American Election, there is not doubt who will win the race - it will be Ron Paul, and with a mindblogging majority !

The Media will do anything they want to do whenever they want to do it.
I have not seen one American do One thing to stop them.
They laugh at you.
I hear of "Class Actions Suits",but! that`s it.
I hear,everyday,abut how bad these Media people are,yet! they keep on keeping on,non stop.
If you are going to do something,do it,If not,shut up and take what ever they throw over the wall.

I hate Ron Paul!

I'm writing in Paul's name at election even though he isn't going to win. We ought to get a national campaign going to do this so that the RNC can get a count of how many conservatives voted in protest of John McCain-D-AZ

I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT THE REAL LOSERS ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DONT REALIZE THAT THE REAL ENEMY IS THE CABLE NEWS MEDIA I HATE TO SAY IT BUT IT HAS COME TIME TO BOYCOTT MSNBC, FOX NEWS ,CNN,AND ANY OTHER CABLE NEWS CHANNEL OUT THERE THEY ARE ALL GUILTY OF POLITICAL REPRESSION AND BIAST AND BLOCKING OUT FREEDOM, OF CHOICE LIBERTY AND SOUND CHANCE OF SAVING THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE LIKE RUFORD MURDOCK NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN AND THE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE MEDIA IF WE EVER HAD IT ANYWAY BUT THE BOYCOTT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO GET BACK AT THEM FOR THE DISTRUCTION THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US AND OUR COUNTRY I HOPE YOU KISS YOUR CHILDREN NOW BECAUSE AFTER THE ELECTION YOU WONT HAVE THEM FOR LONG BECAUSE THEY WILL BE GOING OF TO WAR AND WE FELL RIGHT INTO THE TRICKERY OF THE NEWS MEDIA PAID OFF BY CORPORATIONS AND WORLD BANKS GOOD LUCK CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO NEED IT.

Ron Paul is Great and I love What HE Stands For. FREEDOM From Fear and Small Ideas.

John McCain has a history of screwing the American People in the Senate. Look at his voting record.
John McCain is Known to be a Jerk on the Senate Floor.

John McCain will voted for the 1986 amnesty bill and gave us another round of crap in the last senate on the same issue.

John McCain has no balls, No wisdom and Grassroots anywhere.

John McCain is a RHINO

I just have to say -- aside for the first post here and a few others, I've never seen so many posts from level-headed, stable, informed and patriotic people. Kind of amazing, really, given what is the norm on any politically oriented blog or forum.

I'm just wondering who McCain sold his soul too? His campaign was declared dead last July.

Those so called "conservatives" who voted for John,"Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for fifty dollars an hour", McCain are such clueless dopes. As Pat Buchanan, has truly written, how much confidence can you have in a guy whos platform is, the jobs aren't coming back, the illegal aliens aren't going, and there will be more wars. Come to think of it, you aren't just clueless and dopey, you are certifiably insane.

This was one of the predictions published by Jeane Dixon in the 1970's

Dixon also foresaw the advent of the Antichrist and the False Prophet:

"Satan is now coming into the open to seduce the world and we should be prepared for the inevitable events that are to follow. I have seen that the United States is to play a major role in this development... I have seen a 'government within a government' develop in the US within the last few years... I see this 'government within a government' being controlled and financed by a well-oiled political ‘machine’ of one of our leading political families. With their eye on the White House, I see them discredit any man who occupies it without their approval, no matter how good his political programs may be.

"They will --- through political intimidation, propaganda, and illegal sixth-column activities --- make every effort to show the nation that only their man, the one who heads their 'machine', has the sole right to occupy the White House. Their campaign is going to cause great harm to our nation both here and abroad.

"I 'see' this group succeed in taking over de facto control of the country. They will give rise to an upheaval in our social structure as never before seen. They will bring about increased social unrest and great discontent. Foreign subversive elements will --- as they did in the 1960s --- infiltrate the unruly factions and cause renewed fighting on the nation's campuses and in racial ghettos

"All of the evil in the masses will be swept toward an unknown frenzy by this ‘machine’.

"I 'see' a member of this 'machine' ascend to power in New York City, enforcing new laws and regulations that will affect many households of that great metropolis. [Obviously, the Rockefellers are indicated here]

"The social and religious chaos generated by this political machine throughout the United States will prepare the nation for the coming of the prophet of the Antichrist. This political unit of the East will be the tool of the serpent in delivering the masses to him.

"The False Prophet’s domain shall be the intellectual seduction of mankind. It means a mixture of political, philosophical, and religious ideology that will throw the populations of the world into a deep crisis of faith in God... One of his first duties and responsibilities in readying the world for the advent of his 'master' is to manipulate the available propaganda machines. With teaching and propaganda the prophet will cause people not merely to accept the Antichrist but rather to desire him with positive enthusiasm to create the conditions of his coming and to participate in organizing the frightful and terrifying despotism of his World Empire.

"[The seemingly miraculous phenomena he will produce] will not be supernatural or preternatural events but rather prodigies of science and human achievements, but interpreted in such a way as to lead men away from God and toward the worship of the Antichrist... The prophet of the Antichrist and the Antichrist himself will be specific and identifiable persons!"

IS AMERICA THE GREAT WHORE?
Will China Find out we were the ones to release the SARS epidemic and the Avian Flu as test trials on how we would eliminate their population. Thats why we don't care about owing them money?
It is starting to look like satan is running our Government and he has the American masses programed through the Media Propaganda Machine like a lam led to the slaughter.

VOTE RON PAUL and get rid of all the war ideology.

McCain is a complete moron and most conservatives will simply stay home if we have a choice between him and Billary. The Republicans against Paul need to realize that he has conviction and speaks from the heart and doesn't tailor his message based upon the latest opinion polls and special interest funding. For Pete's sake even the Bush Admin has admitted that Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, so what were the airheads who booed Ron Paul thinking?

Something is seriously wrong with our system when a man who is looked upon with disdain by many rank and file Republicans gets the nomination for president.

As a 65 year old single father of eleven, I was proud to be out with my San Diego Ron Paul meetup group today, bannering to get his name out there, and talking face to face with pedestrians on a busy street corner.

I told people I was proud to be supporting the only candidate who would lift the crushing burden of a 60 trillion dollar debt off the backs of my children and theirs, and who would be able to save Social Security (my own little selfish reason :)

I also told them that I would vote for Hillary before I would vote for John McCain. Why? Because while Clinton might turn my children into poor slaves with her Marxist domestic spending, McCain could literally KILL them.

Ron Paul needs only to make the national Republican delegates open their eyes to the polls that show an ignominious slaughter of the GOP at the hands of Hillary, if McCain is their nominee. Ron Paul is truly Conservatism's last hope.

No Way McCain
Write in Ron Paul
http://nowaymccain.com/

Ron Paul is getting the votes everywhere. What he doesn't get is to count them. It's doubtful if a single election has been honest - for either party. Did you notice how the media "reported" the Nevada Republican vote? They blabbed about nos. 1, 3 & 4 but didn't mention no. 2 at all. That was the slot alloted to Paul who, in truth, probably ran away with it, as he has most everywhere.

Thank you Baltimore Sun for saying it like it is. The only true, honest conservative in the Republican race is Ron Paul.

If anyone has any doubts do the research at www.ronpaul2008.com or read his book 2007 A Foreign Policy of Freedom.

I love the fact that Paul speaks is mind. Iraq did not have anything to do with 9/11? .....you don't say?
I think he knows EXACTLY what he wants to say, and I personally am tired of candidates who consult polls, focus groups, and such before speaking. Elections should be about ideas, not selling a candidate like he's a new flavor of Gatorade. Also, as for the "McCain is destined is get
the nomination crap".Don't buy it. Those projections are based on 50% wins in states that would not vote for McCain if he were last Republican on earth.Huckabee maybe(who is oddly starting to sound like Ron Paul).
The Repub's are committing political suicide by telling all their people to obediently line up behind McCain. If he wins, Hillary becomes president.People who have voted for conservative candidates all their lives are going to be grossly disappointed if Mccain gets the nomination.If he becomes president(highly unlikely), it will be the most lackluster and corrupt presidency ever. Obama is a likeable guy, but his salutions are just smaller versions of Hillary's.
Have a nice day.
Vote Ron Paul '08

I will be writing in Ron Paul even if he drops out. I have no choice but to do whats right for this country. I will also be standing up for the core values that I have taught my children. I will live with this decision with no regrets. I have no one to blame for doing this other than Ron Paul himself. He has pulled back the curtain and let the light shine in on so many subjects that have been buried by the media for decades. Counting up the votes he has recived around the country is a good indication that a revolution of liberity has indeed started in this country. I will do my part to keep that light shining.

By voting for McCain you show the terrorist that they have won.
