It's simply a matter of exposure. The more people that hear him, the more support he gains. The momentum increases a little more every day. THAT is why he practically won every post-debate poll so far. He stands head and shoulders above the other candidates by virtue of his honesty, straight-forwardness and the strength of his convictions. THIS is the man that so many Americans have been waiting a very long time for.
As a previous posted stated, this is the man America has been waiting a long time for. It just doesn't know it yet.
My first introduction to Ron Paul was when he spoke at the first Republican debates. While the rest of the candidates spoke in sound bites that they could later use in their TV commercials, Dr. Paul (and yes, he is a former OB/GYN that has delivered 4,000 babies!) spoke with great candor and common sense. Unlike his competitors that don't want to delve too deeply into 'why' we were attached on 9/11, Dr. Paul is willing to look at the reality of things.
According to a Newsday.com article published on 5/24/07, 'And central to the Bush-centric worldview, of course, is the idea that our enemies in the Middle East are motivated by hatred - hatred of freedom. Paul has a different view, which he expressed at the May 15 South Carolina Republican debate: They don't hate us for who we are; they hate us for what we do, politically and militarily, around the Middle East. 'Blowback,' as it's called, is a controversial thesis, but it does explain why Osama bin Laden goes after America and not, say, Switzerland.'
Finally, someone who recognizes the truth and isn't afraid to say it. If I have to listen to Bush say again 'that they hate our freedom', I'm going to get sick.
Go to www.ronpaul2008.com and learn for yourself. I pray that the country gets a chance to see this man shine on the national stage. Please save us from the phony neo con conservatives that will simply continue the Bush doctrine. And God really help us if Hillary wins.
Dear Freedom Lover,
We are holding an online rally for Dr. Paul.
We are doing this to publically and visibly display our support for his principled and consistent message of freedom and limited government.
We want this rally to be truly *massive*. We are going to show that, as Dr. Paul says:
Freedom is popular!
We need every Ron Paul supporter and freedom lover to get involved. Right now.
Please join us. Go to:
rally.ronpaulplanet.org
Then send this message to everyone you can think of.
Ron Paul is the only Republican for whom I would even consider voting.
Ron Paul all the way. All matters not within the legislative powers of Congress (which is really 98% of all 'issues,' should be decided at the state and local levels. Power over religious matters, abortion, government health care, etc... are not within the legislative powers of Congress. To the extent these issues are discussed in DC, the talk should be about whether the Constitution should be amended to delegate additional powers to the Congress or the federal courts.
If Dr. Paul doesn't win, and especially if Clinton or Obama wins, I hope and pray that states will begin to discuss the idea outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Independence! Separation is not treason or an attempt to 'overthrow' a government. The colonists in the 1770s weren't trying to overthrow the Crown or Parliament in London. The colonists merely wished to govern themselves.
Dr. Paul stands for liberty and local self-governance. These views should be taken seriously once again...
Ron Paul will help restore a proper balance of power between the Federal and State governments, as the Constitution requires. And if he can just say ‘No’ to congress’ overspending for a few years then he will have done a great service to our country.
Ron Paul really has a chance to win!
Ron Paul is 1st in YouTube, Meetup, MySpace, Facebook, Technorati, Alexa, Google, etc. The old media is just too slow to realize what is happening.
Ron Paul places 1st or 2nd in every straw poll, debate, and active participation survey.
Ron Paul has the most contributions from U.S. military personnel above all other candidates. So support the troops and vote Ron Paul!
‘Scientific Polls’ at this stage only measure name recognition. Over the next six months Ron Paul will gain name recognition and people will learn about who Ron Paul is. Most people who learn about Ron Paul become major supporters.
Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were doing about the same in the 'Scientific Polls' at this stage in their elections. Ron Paul has tremendous momentum and his support is growing exponentially. The other candidates are stagnant. Only Ron Paul's support is growing and will continue to grow!
Ron Paul is the man of integrity and courage that America needs at this time.
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” John Quincy Adams
We are making history – Vote Ron Paul!

Ron Paul has backers in all age groups. We are all sick of what is going on. Ron Paul is articulate and extremely knowledgeable. We've been blindsided by our government for so long we now need to open our minds. Research what he's been telling you about The Fed and the IRS and it will blow your mind.
Ronald Reagan was the last major party presidential candidate that received my vote. As you can imagine, someone with my political philosophy can feel lonely in Massachusetts. I voted for Ron Paul in 1988, but really didn't know much about him then- it was a protest vote.
Ron Paul is the first candidate I've ever donated money to. I wish him well for the sake of our country.
And by the way, Mitt Romney didn't accomplish much in Massachusetts.
Simply the last hope for reasoned and responsible leadership as well as the restoration of America as a country that stands for the rule of law.
Ron's campaign is also marks the first time I have ever donated to a campaign in more than twenty years as a legal voter. He will also be the first major party candidate I have ever voted for in a presidential primary or election. The old media is dying but doesn't know it yet. Spread the word at every opportunity!
Go Ron!
These are exciting times because Americans can actually make history by promoting Ron Paul to a point where they stop calling him 'a dark horse' candidate.
Americans can get her government back, and, at this place in history, Congressman Paul is the only man who can accomplish that task.
The Ron Paul Revolution is underway. We are gaining a diverse group of Americans who support the Constitution and have hope for liberty. The other campaigns will implode under the own weight while we only get stronger. If you want to join us then you should join or start your own Meetup group. They are all over the country and they are responsible for the grassroots efforts that are appearing spontaneously in every corner of the United States. ronpaul2008.com
I was a die hard liberal, then I heard Ron Paul. I now feel more informed. I always learn something new each time he's interviewed or gives a speech. Socialism, Communism, Fascism are the result of Collectivism in the long run. Remember how we're supposed to protect the minority opinion! Rights don't come from groups (black, gay, women) but from individual rights we all have.
I want a constitutional government again in this country.
Ron Paul R3VOLution!
Thank God for Ron Paul, he has restored my belief in the US political system. He truly has given Hope to America because of all the support he has gained. Who would have thought a person on the side of truth and honesty would have a shot at the Presidency? and there are literally millions of American's who are about to hear Ron Paul and his message over the coming months.
Right now the tongue in cheek comments by the Mainstream Media (MSM) are starting. We will know Ron's campaign has REALLY started to gain steam once the howls of anger from the media begin.
I think it's great that Mr. Paul is like the old Republicans when we had statesmen in both parties. If he is really a good guy why isn't he an independent as both parties are having trouble right now. I certainly have major reservations if he is a card carrying Republican. Can he convince those of us who distrust the Republicans? I hope we can get the best President we can as eight years with this President have been horrendous. He and his party have turned the world upside down. Hope we get a good one next time or maybe before.
As a registered Democrat, I would LOVE to see Ron Paul on the national ticket. He would have my vote, hands down. He is a breath of fresh air that I feel is a true representation of the majority of America. Both sides would like you to believe that the majority of America sides with them, when the honest truth is that it's more towards the middle.
I truly believe that if more Americans are exposed to what his policies would be and what he believes instead of looking at which ticket he is running on, they will find that much of what he says will resonate with them. He speaks of America as it was intended to be. He speaks of the liberty that was promised to each and every one of us as our birth right.
I long to be proud of our president, and Ron Paul fits that bill.
