I see some Jewish groups are trying to get Ron Paul to publicly distance himself from neo-nazis. This is just a smear ploy by the JDL to promote guilt by association . They don't like the fact that Israel would not call all the shots for Paul if elected. It's like asking someone to go on camera and say 'I am not a child molester' then everyone thinks 'thats weird why would he bring that up if he's not a child molester'. Sneaky smeary stuff.

I know what you mean. Neocon radio hacks are reading smear pieces which are growing in number. They have passed the ignore and laugh stage and have entered the attack mode, which excites me, because that means Paul is gaining momentum. Paul supporters are disproving every lie at breakneck speed because of the internet and passionate 'boots on the ground.' It has leveled the playing field. Ron Paul's secret weapon is 'the people' who are tired of the tyranical two party system. The final phase is that we will win.

The FED is getting nervous about the exposure of its fraud. Free citizens can use ANY currency or item for a medium of exchange. The FED desires to continue their wicked monopoly over the people of this nation. The FED is a private corporation. How would anyone feel if any other private corporation stole these items? The perpetrators would be in jail for theft, but what about the criminals in this case? Since the love of money is the root of all evil, look at the FED for the root.

Why should Ron Paul distance himself from any American? He wants to serve as President of a free people.

White Supremacists, anti-Semites, war-mongers, homophobes, etc. are citizens. The Constitution of the United States describes their rights just as it describes yours or mine. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, 'No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'

Racists have voted in previous elections. Politicians who enjoyed their support in the past were not called upon to cast them out. In fact there was overt pandering to them. Remember Willie Horton? Who are the Fascists endorsing this time around? Few candidates are making them unwelcome.

The smears will continue as the corupt feel their grip slipping. Ron Paul is now a 'top tier' candidate. His campaign is growing faster than the smears. I have gathered the evidence of his progress and created a website.
Please visit www.thecaseforronpaul.com and judge for yourself.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”Mahatma Gandhi

The more crazy things get in this country, and the world, the more the steady hand of Ron Paul's message will take on a life of it's own. Because it's the thing that binds this country together, each one of us no matter race, religon, or sex. It's about the rule of law, The Constitution. From our borders to civil liberty's and rights our laws aren't being enfoced by the people in washington that we have intrusted and they are putting them above us We the People. They are wasting our money and on a war that isn't lawful as well as the FED. If this contines he will win!

Can you say President Ron Paul?

The folks at M&C have given up on the veneer of objectivity on this one. Good of you to come up with a Ron Paul Press release.

I am a member of one of Ron Paul's largest Meetup groups. We did a poll asking how many supporters were NOT republican and voted for a non-republican candidate.

Right now the poll shows that just over 50% of RP supporters voted for someone other than Bush in 2004 and were previously non-Republicans.

What these idiots don't realise is Americans are tired of what America has become. Yeah I might be a zealot but I am passionate about everything in my life including my job, my child, my wife and my freedom. Is anyone else in this country any different? People need to take a look around them a real hard look. We have not had a focus for our anger in this country for a long time so we have put the blame on where it doesnt belong such as people of different color or nationalities. I really think that the message will spread like wild fire and You will see whites, blacks, muslims, christians, straights, gays, abortionist, anti abortionist, and many other people getting hosed, arrested, & dogged like the blacks were in the 60's. We need to wake up the middle class is chaffed and burnt we have lost all hope. We have been triple taxed to support a nation that does not represent us or support us. So I say flame me laugh at me because in the end the world see's whats going on.

RON PAUL IS THE MAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!! You can tell RON PAUL is getting
a lot of support of from military, young, middle age and the elderly. You
can also tell RON PAUL is the democrats and republicans worst nightmare. When RON PAUL is a threat, that means he is gaining too many supporters.
The democrats and republicans should fear RON PAUL. If he told the american
people what really goes on in Washington, the american people would literally throw each and every IDIOT in Washington out in the streets. The
american people are very angry. VOTE FOR RON PAUL.....He has my vote.....

Individual rights which are found to be self evident. Looking at people in groups is the problem. Recognize individual civil liberties and the need for group association is irrelavent. THis means no matter who you are or what you believe, your rights are protected. Everyone is born different and has different beliefs and more than likely raised in different settings. Nevertheless, civil libertys include ALL.
Read the constitution and declaration of independence. Read it, live it, love it. :)

'Moonbat'?

'Idiot?'

A producer was fired, three executives were forced to resign, and Dan Rather was shamed into retirement six months later.

Ron Paul Rocks, and the Neocons are going down. Its sad that people have lost themselves in greed and really don't see what is really happening to this Country. Freedom, Liberty, and Ron Paul for all of us.

Sock puppet, moon bat?? Time to come up with something different than the same old blather! Every candidate needs to be given intense attention and a chance to explain their position, or we might end up with another feather-brained light weight with a smirk as big as Texas!
