Americans want change in Washington!
The American people are against those in Washington starting illegal preemptive unnecessary wars, spying on the American people, and spending money they do not have. That is why disproval ratings of Congress and President are at historic lows. Americans want change! Americans want a leader who actually believes in the Constitution which is incredibly rare in Washington these days.
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 30% vote from republicans sick of the war and abuse of powers to win in republican primaries.
Ron Paul is not against war as a pacifist.
Ronald Reagan said that “Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first.”
Ron Paul is just against illegal preemptive unnecessary wars that make America and the world less safe.
Ron Paul can win.
Ron Paul has over 30,000 registered volunteers. More than all other candidates combined (maybe more than any candidate in history). And more registering now at Meetup.com.
Dr. Ron Paul has the most contributions from U.S. military personnel and veterans above all other candidates. So support the troops and vote Ron Paul!
Ron Paul places 1st or 2nd in every straw poll, debate, and active participation survey.
Ron Paul is 1st on YouTube, Meetup, MySpace, Technorati, Alexa, Clickz, Google, etc. The old media is just too slow to realize what is happening.
Do not listen to the so called 'Scientific Polls'. Ron Paul is not included in the cleverly woven questions pollsters are asking. This has been well documented.
Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were doing about the same in the 'Scientific Polls' at this stage in their elections. 'Scientific Polls' at this stage only measure name recognition. Over the next six months Ron Paul will gain name recognition. Most people who learn about Ron Paul become major supporters.
A big problem with our electoral process is that the old media generally supports the richest candidates (who got their money from special interest). Those are the worst candidates because they are owned by special interest and lobbyists. Hopefully the internet will help restore balance and choice.
Dr. Ron Paul is the only major candidate not owned by military-industrial-complex, corporations, special interest, lobbyists, etc. Fix the system and vote Ron Paul. And tell everyone you know. Now is the time to set ourselves free.
The American people know that something is very wrong in Washington. The American people want change!

Join the Revolution -- Vote Ron Paul!
American needs to regain its lead in the FREE WORLD. We need to elect Ron Paul and support him in his efforts to get the contry back into operating with our constitution.
It is a pleasure to read an article from a reporter who does not fear a Politician with integrity and a free America.
We are the founders of a Country organized by Free Men. It is time we acted like it. Ron Paul is the MAN!
...is to win some primaries....
By the way, check out Ron Paul the wannabe outsiders Congressional Earmarks. Ron Paul has a record, and he has to run on it...
Ron Paul is a great man. His congressional record and life experience proves it. If you want him to win, contribute to his campaign.
'Take a look at the incumbent Republican:
Bush has a gold plated Economy, 4.6% unemployment, tax revenues by the bushel, historic high household wealth. This guy has towed the line on free trade and we have prospered as a result. His Laffer curve economic doctrine has enriched America far beyond any of his predecessors successes. America has and it good under the Bush administration, period. When he leaves, he will hand the next guys an economy on a gold platter.
Bush has stood his ground against evil and tyranny, freeing over 50 million people. He got Libya to give up it's nuke program, has N. Korea wavering, Iran puckered up and is waging a terrible war in Iraq, even when it costs him at home. It would have been so easy to take a hike on this, but he has stood his ground and forced that batch of cowards called Congress to step up to it's collective responsibilities, that THEY voted for. For this they have pilloried him, which he has stood nobley against.
In a world of opponents claiming to have more brains, he has beaten his opponents by simply telling what he believes...right or wrong...and standing on that. He may not be a great thinker, but he is certainly a clear thinker, with a backbone.
All the smoke and mirror shows of the liberals have failed. Hillary's vote on the war is exposed. William Jefferson's, and Sandy Berglars scandals prove once again, that corruption is on the left as well as the right. Alberto Gonzales, unlike his predecessor, is bipartisan when it comes to corruption, prosecuting Republicans and democrats alike, a valid reason why they are persecuting him in Congress. All the childish Halliburton-oil-Military-Industrial B.S has not stuck, except by the tinfoil hat crowd. Mr. Bush, in 10 years, won't be apologizing for his actions like Robert McNamara, while making a handsome living at it.
Now, we are being sold this 'Libertarian' republican lemon, by the confused portion of the party. His isolationist stance is over 100 years too late, in a world of air travel and instant communication. The idea that America can withdraw from it's global responsibilities is a fantasy. The folks who believe this are the befuddled of the party. The world has changed and republicans embraced it.
Ronald Reagan was the greatest Republican since Lincoln. He correctly knew we could not shirk our global leadership role, even if we wished, for the cost would be too great, to leave that role in the hands of someone else.
He correctly knew we had to have less government, but had to have government nonetheless. If Republicans want to look to the past, this is the past that generated success, not the wavering, listless ramblings of the libertarians. We have a reputation of leadership, no matter what kind it was and Ron Paul has to get way, way past the lib press softballs to prove himself to us. After all, he's certainly no Rudy Guiliani.
'Historic high household wealth' LOL You have got to be kidding me..
This is the classic example of equating the quantity of the currency with the quality of the currency!!
The dollar has fallen 40% in the past 10 years! The housing market is exploding and falling fast! All the yuppies are crying because they are stuck with new or refinanced mortgages on houses that aren't worth what they were 2 years ago. Its probably not getting better.
What the mainstream media is failing to learn is that most of out here in the Interwebs have learned how misleading, conniving, lying, and manipulating the media truly is. The more they ignore Ron Paul, the more they lose respect. ABC did a truly appalling job with the debates. Ron Paul was allowed less than 5 minutes. He was cut off every time he spoke. Do they think we don't see that? It is about time to call for a boycott of all mainstream news!
I am serious. The people keep speaking, and speaking, and speaking and no one gives flip anymore. The dems were voted in to end the war and ended up giving ole George as much money as he wanted to fund it. Don't give me that junk about 'they had no choice, boo hoo, they couldn't leave the troops high and dry.' Well, neither could Georgie boy. If the President can't pay them he HAS to bring them home! He can't force them all to stay! Such nonsense and idiots believe it all. Why? Because the media tells us so.
The mainstream media is worse than worthless, they are dangerous. They have ZERO integrity. ZERO. When Ron Paul wins the debate with nearly 70% of the vote and the same station gives him under 5 minutes to speak, something is terribly wrong. Don't give me that song and dance about his supporters being spammers either. I tried just to see what would happen. You could only vote once in their poll. So give me a break.
If the mainstream media continues to treat the one saving hope this country has this way, they are going to find themselves very very lonely.
To all who read this. Start it now. NO MORE NEWSPAPERS. DO not buy one for the next week. Put your foot down!
This manipulation has got to stop.
By the way, you will feel better if you stop reading their junk anyway.
Ron Paul will never going to get positive media attention throughout this campaign, especially if he wins the nomination. The pollsters are lying and the media is lying. The MSM absolutely does not want Paul to lead our country and neither does the banking cartel, the political cartel, or the military cartel. All of our whining about lies of the MSM aren't going to change their strategy. We supporters have to 'get over it'.
I think the best way to spread the message is through the DVD medium. For .25 cents, we can burn DVD's and mail them to our extended families, friends, neighbors, business associates, etc. etc. If 25,000 Meet-Up supporters distributed 100 DVD's each, that's 2,5 million videos on the street, gaining a steady stream of new supporters, who in turn can burn more DVD's and do the same thing.
Paul's message of freedom, liberty, and constitutionally restricted government is extremely powerful. It's up to us to spread his message, not the MSN. The DVD medium is a powerful and cheap method of doing this.
The nonsense regarding 'scientific polls' has got to stop.
I am sure that most of us, at least those who are not gullible, hang up on any 'pollster' as soon as they start asking for personal information (income, address, marital status, 'race', educational level, etc.)
The only people who remain to answer the pollsters' questions are the ignorant and the gullible -- the same people who would readily give their SS number and Credit card information to a scammer claiming to be calling from 'Visa fraud prevention'.
Would any sane individual follow the lead of such feeble-minded bell-weathers of public opinion?
We can let our not-so-free press lead us like sheep to the slaughter, or we can do our own research on each of the candidates. I dare anyone to listen to Ron Paul, unfiltered. Those who do can not help but respect him, and most of those will discover that they have always supported his message of Liberty and of a federal government constrained by the rule-of-law (the Constitution).
Rich investors are driving the economy. The middle class is getting killed by taxes and inflation.
Lots of low paying service jobs with pitiful or 0 health care. I've been in the workforce for over 35
years and always had gainful steady employment up until the last 10 years. I now work multiple jobs with a lot of traveling to make ends meet. Gone are the manufacturing jobs of the 70's and 80's that provided steady work and great benefits. Ross Perot was right about the big sucking sound of our jobs going out of the US. The middle class now absorbs all the finacial beatings of big corporate and government mis management of funds. They just pass their losses on to us in the form of endless fees and taxes. I want my money back. Ron Paul isn't perfect but he is definitlly not the status quo. I'm sick of the status quo. He has integrity and preaches responsibility. Those are the two most important words in a free society. Those words have been replaced by greed and entitlement.
Ron Paul is such a high quality candidate anyone who thinks can see this. People who use the Internet can think, BS gets found out fast. Thats why so many people on the Internet love Ron Paul. This guy is the real deal.
Please give Ron Paul more coverage. His support is real and he's the best thing America could do for the rest of the world.
The gentleman above stated that Ron Paul is no Rudy Guiliani. That is the only point on which we agree. He is not even close to being Rudy and thank god for that!
He also said that GWB is leaving a gold plated economy. I don't understand how this could be true. Americans are deeply in debt. Many have mortages that cost more than thier houses are worth because of the falling housing market. Where did Americans learn spend all of this money that they don't have? Clearly, it was from our goverment who is financing a war and an entitlement system that are both unconstitutional by borrowing from the Chinese. The problem is that the American people can't just print more money to devalue the debt, luckliy the goverment is doing that for us as well, that is, lucky unless you actually saved money.
If the person who made that long positive post about Bush is a real person and not a shill, I kindly ask that they look at the facts and not the rhetoric. It's not about your team versus mine, even when it comes to Democrats. We all want the same thing and what we should have in common is the rule of law. Dr. Paul just wants to obey the constitution that he swore an oath to defend. Why not join the fight? These are your freedoms too! The property rights and monetary rights are things you should value more than winning an argument. You seem to value Ronald Reagan, please watch his 'rendevous with destiny' speech from 1964 you can find it online easily.
You spoke about how American's shouldn't shirk thier responisiblities to the world. What responsiblities are those? Where is that written? Empires fall, let's get back to being a free country! You are right that communication and air travel makes being an isolationist impossible. That is an argument against your cause. Is the choice as narrow as isolationism vrs interventionism? I think there is middle ground and it's spelled out in our most revered, most ignored founding document. We should trade and talk with everyone and not tell them how to run thier government. We can't turn this country around in a day or a month or a year, but we ought to identify the issues, admit the damage that has been done on our behalf around the world and at home and start the nessesary repairs to our liberty and international reputation.
Ron Paul has articulated a message that speaks to the core values of this great nation. Individual liberty, constitutional democracy, the Bill of Rights. We are at a cross roads in our history that is fundamental to our system of government. This campaign is a calling to all citizens to stand up for freedom and liberty or go the way of Germany in the 1930's. The hour is late and the criminal elements that are trying to take this nation in another direction need to be stopped. We as citizens must elect a leader that speaks to the issues, leads through example and articulates a message of hope. Ron Paul is that man and we must organize our friends and family, neighbors and co-workers to support his candidacy for President of the United States.
I am English, and wish we had a character of Ron Paul,s stature ,running our country.I wish i could vote for him.
