I just wanted to thank you for writing a balanced article. You didn't use any of the adjectives so overused in most stories about Dr. Paul and his campaign.

Many thousands are onboard, including me as I watch this Revolution develop. If any readers want to know what makes Ron Paul so unique and special, just go to www.ronpaul2008.com -

He is the real McCoy! All anyone has to do is to research each candidate and see what they truly stand for. Look at their voting records, look at how fast they spend campaign money, doesn't that worry you that they spend more than they have? Sounds like business done the DC way if you ask me.

Isn't it time that America grows up and elects officials who will actually balance the checkbook and spend only what we the people authorize?

Thanks again for the great article.

Thank you for the great article!

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 for our country.

He has a good chance of winning. The old media is just too slow to realize what is happening.

Ron Paul is 1st on YouTube, Meetup, MySpace, Technorati, Alexa, Clickz, Google, etc.

Ron Paul places 1st or 2nd in every straw poll, debate, and active participation survey.

Dr. Ron Paul is the only major candidate not owned by military-industrial-complex, corporations, special interest, etc. Fix the system and vote Ron Paul. And tell everyone you know. Now is the time to set ourselves free.

70% of Americans want us out of Iraq and want change.

Ron Paul is only republican candidate against the war.

Ron Paul only needs about 35% vote from republicans sick of the war and abuse of powers to win in republican primaries.

Dr. Ron Paul is the man of integrity and courage that America needs at this time.

We are making history -- Vote Ron Paul!

Yelp. Go for Ron Paul. Anyone who loves the United States of America should think twice before saying somehting negative about Congressman Ron Paul who is also a Doctor. Remember people who are accustomed to corruption and special interests would always resist changes.
The IRS, the Depts of Education & Energy are no less than a political machine sinking our lives.
The trillions of dollars the IRS has retained from our paychecks are not used to pay for public services but to pay interest rates on debts. These days, due to heavy political involvement, our schools system is down where a high-school graduate can barely write his name. So think about the department of Energy, an agency created in October 1977--that could plan for our next war with Iran. It is believed that Ron Paul is not only a Doctor and congressman, but also a Scientist and predictor.
If Ron Paul is no good, then vote for any of the other candidates who have made it clear that the current policies must and should continue on course whether democrats or republicans.
Should a candidate be elected at the sponsorship of the old media because that he/she happened to raise more money? That's where the big problem is and the reason why the old media has yet to cover Dr. Paul's presidential campaign. Of course, money is a good thing but we should use it wisely and not to let it addict us.
I don't think President Bush is a bad guy. He simply has too many though-selfish people working for him. And he has signaled Americans that you shouldn't count on government to do things for you (hurricane Katrina is a real example) but rely on yourself as Dr. Ron Paul has put it. And that's the way it should be.

I would like to clarify Dr. Pauls positions espoused in the article by ABC... Dr Paul is PERSONALLY against abortion.. BUT BELIEVES IT IS UP TO STATES.. That the federal government has NO BUSINESS writing pro/anti abortion laws.. Seems safe for both sides actually..

And as for military apporptiations... lets just say THERE IS NOT A VETRAN IN HIS DISTRICT THAT DOES NOT LOVE HIM!!! This man HAS NEVER EVER EVER voted to cut a VETRANS BENIFIT..

Just because he votes against WASTEFUL spending.. should NEVER imply he is not pro military or pro troops.. HE IS BOTH!! just NON-Intreventionist!! Sounds pretty logical to me!!

FWIW Dr. Paul has recieved more donations from ACTIVE members of the military than ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE... So I would say the troops must know somthing!

Ron Paul losing support in his DistrictAug 5th, 2007 - 10:28:27

Interesting. You say Ron Paul is gaining support. Yet, he still hovers at 1 to 2% in all national polls, after 6 months of campaigning. He's stuck in Sam Brownback, Tommy Thompson, Tom Tancredo, Mike Huckabee 3rd tier territory, behind Romney and McCain, and way behind frontrunners Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.

The Liberal media loves to give Ron Paul media so long as he's bashing Bush and the War in Iraq, unlike the other 3rd tier candidates like Brownback, Tancredo, et.al.

For the first time, Ron Paul has attracted 3 challengers for his Congressional seat in the GOP primary. Republicans in his very Conservative South Texas District are just tired of all his Bush bashing, and kooky foreign policy views.

He may end up with 2% in the GOP primaries, but at the same time losing his Congressional seat.

Shame. Cause his views on domestic matters -- cut government spending, drastically reduce the size of government, cut taxes -- are right on.

'Interesting. You say Ron Paul is gaining support. Yet, he still hovers at 1 to 2% in all national polls, after 6 months of campaigning.'

He didn't even appear in the polls several months ago, today he does. Where was Clinton at this time in 1991? Even less support.

'way behind frontrunners Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.'

Two GOP candidate that will never get elected.

'The Liberal media loves to give Ron Paul media so long as he's bashing Bush and the War in Iraq'

Bush deserves the bashing he has received. 70% of this country agrees with Dr. Paul. And unlike other candidates, he does not have to explain how he voted for it before he voted against it.

'For the first time, Ron Paul has attracted 3 challengers for his Congressional seat in the GOP primary.'

As a GOP congressmen that does not want more taxes and more government, I see why the Big government GOP of today does not support him 100%. Further evidence of how the GOP has lost their way.

'Republicans in his very Conservative South Texas District are just tired of all his Bush bashing'

ANd you support Bush and his foreign policy?

'and kooky foreign policy views.'

You mean nation building and imposing what we view as a good government is? His standce on foreign policy and non interventionist policy is brillant. But then you support such things as a good foreign policy is putting dictators in power or supplying Osama Weapons and view him as an ally in the 19802. We need to trade with countries not impose our values and billions in payoffs to them


'He may end up with 2% in the GOP primaries, but at the same time losing his Congressional seat.'

And he maybe President.

'Shame. Cause his views on domestic matters -- cut government spending, drastically reduce the size of government, cut taxes -- are right on.'

And so is his foreign policy.

We know who you don't support, but who are you supporting for President?
