Ron Paul For President

January 23, 2012 by  

Hello,

I am a regular reader of The Bob Livingston Letter™ and I was wondering if you have endorsed Ron Paul yet and if not why?

Thanks,

Jack Seckel

Dear Jack Seckel,

Unequivocally.

Best wishes,

–Bob

    My husband and I were debating between Santorum and Dr. Paul. (We were not considering Romney and Gingrich since they are definitely part of the “establishment” which only wants to take us into the NWO, make us a third world country and continue down the Obama path -regardless of their rhetoric.) Then we found out that Santorum is against the second amendment (the right to bear arms) so that immediately switched us into the camp of Dr. Paul. The more we see and hear Dr. Paul the more pleased we are with our decision. Betty

    • Andee

      Consider and I will probably get these comments backwards:

      Santorum, a wolf in sheep’s wool; a coyote in a hen house..that is Santorum, big spender, big government…watch his eyes and body language …. you can read him like a book if you know how and what to look for…

  • FRANK DECOLA

    I can’t decide who is the best candidate yet. I would like to hear from one of them say if.”I become President I will serve all peoples” I dare them to say it.

    • Pepper

      Ron Paul has stated many times that he doesn’t see people as groups but as individuals, and all individuals deserve freedom. Is that not close enough for you?

      • Steve

        did ja here about Ron Pauls news letters you know the one he said he did not know what was in them but were sent with him being the editor?

      • Pepper

        Yeah I heard about them back in 2008, they were thoroughly debunked back then. You ever actually read them?

      • Pepper

        I wonder if Martha Stewart reads every page of her magazine or if she lets the editors do their jobs?

        I wonder if Oprah Winfrey reads every page of her magazine or if she lets the editors do their jobs?

        I wonder if Steve Forbes watches every minute of the Forbes TV network or if he lets the on-air staff do their jobs?

  • Pepper

    An interesting perspective I came across today:
    - Romney is “unelectable” because Ron Paul supporters will never vote for him
    - Gingrich and Santorum are “unelectable” because they failed to get on the primary ballot in multiple states
    - Ron Paul wants to take the Oath of office seriously and defend the Constitution.

    Who’s “unelectable” now?

    • Steve

      RON PAUL

  • http://personellibertydigest Bonnie

    I have listened intently to all of the candidates, their views etc.
    Most of what they have to say, says very little about anything we should be concentrating on as Americans living and struggling in a troubled America. This should not be a beauty contest, or about who can slam who better than the other guy!
    Ron Paul is the only candidate and man that speaks about America’s real and serious problems, and has a plan to change things for the better. He is honest and humble and no-one has a leash on him.
    He and his thinking is not comitted to or tied strictly to the government or their failed policies. He is the only candidate that has served our country, which gives him true insite about war, and the sad ramifications and expences of war. After listening to Ron Paul, I felt compelled to ask myself one final question,
    “Who would Jesus vote for”? The only logical answer would be Ron Paul, An honest man, that stands steadfast even when he has been ridiculed and often laughed at and verbally crucified by those who are power hungry, because of his beliefs. Ron Paul,the peace maker. Ron Paul a man the was willing to die for his country. Ron Paul,a Doctor and a healer. Who IS the true Christian here? Who would lead America into Liberty and Justice for all? My mind is made up.
    Ron Paul for President!

  • Art LeBeau

    To all who read the Livingston Report do your homework before you have someone decide for you. I have done quite extensive research and RON PAUL is the only true constitutional conservative.

    Please read exactly what he says and writes — it is in tune with the Constitution. The so called controversial ideas, read what he says and you will see it lines with the Constitution — most controversy belongs to the states –_states rights”. No we do not need to demean each other –just the facts, Joe Friday.

    Please pray for our Country and the best choice, and yes for me it is
    Dr. Ron Paul as I have followed him for many years of my 77 on earth.
    Art LeBeau, Villa Ridge, MO>
    May I add that Ron was called “zany” — well I will vote for a “zany” man, just look what the “sane” ones have done in the last 60 years!

    • Steve

      Ronald Reagen

    • Richard M

      Well said, Art LeBeau!

    • Andee

      We many can be zany together for those other than zany have brought this nation quite closely to its knees…God Bless America

  • http://na Russ Laycox

    Ron Paul is a good man. He is right on about economic matters but his foreign policy ideas are dangerous and would lead to the demise of our great nation. Also if he still believes all heroin, cocaine, etc., should be legalized that is another strike against him. I like his son Rand, as he seems very smart and capable, but he does not seem to have the naivete of his father. Whoever the Republicans nominate we should get behind becase it will be a disaster if Obama has four more years to wreck out country. Razorback Russ

    • Bob

      Well said Russ. Ron Paul is well suited for Secretary of Treasury. As with all of the candidates, he has some very good views, but some of his views are a little much and/or dangerous. Not one of the present group of candidates is perfect, but none of us are. Use the talent where it is best suited….economics in the case of Dr. Paul, with some influence/voice on other Constitutional issues, but not the final word. Also echo earlier comments on the need to elect a stronger constitutional based Senate and House to support a new President. It will be an interesting season.

      • Bill

        A little too shallow in your thinking. Whom else would you recommend other than his son.

    • Michael

      Russ you do realise that while we are busy incarcerating our own citizens, at a cost to taxpayers of $40,000 per year, for drug violations. The so called war on drugs costs $40 Billion a year. All of this while we are spending $80 Billion a year defending the current govt. Of Afghanistan Where 90% of the worlds opium is grown. This makes no sense, Ron Paul does.

      • Steve

        We should not make all grugs legal but MJ should be the others we should have large fines for and not allow them to go on gov assistance without passing a drug test

    • Anthony

      “Paul’s foreign policy ideas are dangerous and would lead to the demise of our great nation”

      Russ I’m afraid you have that backwards….its the foreign policy we have now that is leading to the demise of our once great nation!

    • Laurie Tudor

      If you fear my freedom, I cant guarentee your either I will write in Ron Paul, and pray there are enough of you semi-conservatives to get rid of obama. good luck.

  • Mel G. Nelson

    Before 1776 the countries of the world got into and out of wars without any help or interference by the USA.
    Since world war I our own elected government “employees” have been succesful in convincing a majority of voters that the world needs the USA to straighten out any “wayward” country, with whatever amount of USA resources necessary.
    If the sight of a forklift truck raising its prongs up to the level of the cargo door of a military aircraft just back from overseas to unload caskets covered with American Flags then perhaps:
    The sight of men and women who survived a bullet or bomb who have been fitted out with plastic or iron arms and legs might wake up enough voters.
    If thats not enough to convince enough voters, perhaps the vision of a son or a daughter or a grandson or a grandaughter trying to run on iron legs and a couple of pieces of leaf spring for feet may do it.
    Whoever thinks our country’s resources and blood are necessary to keep “world order” please reconsider.
    Sincerely;
    Mel G. Nelson

  • Louis Lemieux

    There is a limit to individual freedom. Anyone can use his freedom to step on his neighbor’s freedom. My freedom stops where my neighbor’s freedom starts and this is not always easy to figure out. That’s the reason we have governments and laws and the more complicated society gets the more government grows. Libertarians do not understand this very well.

    • eheno

      Theres a difference between freedom and force. Stepping on other people are not freedom – thats a violent act.

      • Louis Lemieux

        Very often our laws will determine what is permissible and what is not permissible in our complicated society. People do not always agree on the limits of individual freedom. That’s why we need rules and regulations. The best way to protect individual freedom is through collective freedom like voting in a democratic society.

      • Bill

        Louis Lemieux, where are you coming from! We do not and should not have a democracy. the country was set up as a representative government. Democracy is where the Majority of the VOTERS but the majority of the people into any position they care to. Hardly a democratic process. If 11 people get together and they want to vote on something that only affects them and they want to abide by the majority rule then let them vote. We were given certain rights via the constitution and a majority of the people voting cannot overturn those right. (unless there is corruption in the supreme court) Did you go to school in another country?

    • Andee

      We understand that well; however, we Americans do not need more and bigger government..return the powers to the States where it belongs and the States should return the powers to each county within that State..the Executive Branch has very limited powers and they have unjustly overstepped them in a horrendous manner making our country gravely ill and full of fear..fear leads to depression and depression leads to domestic troubles big and small; we are seeing some of that now with the increase in abductions and killing of our babies and toddlers, taking our spouse’s life, etc.

  • Anthony

    I’m glad to see people are starting to wake-up! But there still are a lot of sheep out there……even some on this post that are totally clueless to what is happening!

    • Andee

      If there is any doubt as to what the Three Criminals would do, look at this scenario or rather bills that are in place … then you will vote for Ron and go out and work for him also.’

      1) UNs Agenda 21, written in 1992 and fast being implemented around the world; it is 40 chapters long, read it…it shuts down the entire world as far as farming, ranching, business and having any personal freedoms left..even can tell you if you can have a car; then add EX. Order 13575, which by the way, the House could have objected to it but did not,just one Rep had to do this to keep us free of its encumbrances, it can tell you just what you will drive, what you will do, where you will do it, how far you can travel and more; add the NDAA to this in which most Republicans voted for it in both Houses…that says the military can take us into custody for no real reason, incarcerate us and we will not see a trial..off to FEMA camps if deemed to be so…if you read these in their entirety, you will see why Ron wants to do away with the NDAA, Patriot Act, TSA, Homeland, the UN and more..plus reduce the size of government…this is a horrific job to take on..he needs “We the People,” behind him all the way, we need a good and strong House and Senate..if any of you are that person, get busy and run..even if you lose, you have been outreaching and teaching of what is going on and what is wrong with America as well as the world…ban the Fed Reserve…

  • eheno

    Also for us – in Europe – I see Ron Paul as the last chance for the whole world to be able to fight the governments (read global businesscompanies) progress of enslavement of the people. New world order as they call it.
    But even with Ron Paul it will be extremely difficult to reverse this progress. It seems like people are content as long as they get the entertainment and bread (Julius Caesar). I think our whole educating system is backing the path we are on to dictatorship – it seems like people doesn’t like to think – and maybe have forgotten it – maybe because the telly is doing that for them.(Correctly – they belive it)

    Norway
    Still free (Non-EU)

    • Andee

      Thanks for this post Eheno! I have friends in London, S. Africa, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Yugoslavia (Montenegro), Uruguay…they all are in RPs corner to help bring the world back also…he cannot do it alone; we need a proper and smart Congress, both Houses.

  • Jerry

    Something that I find interesting is that all you hear about Ron Paul is about his “fanatic supporters”. If our patriotic position of wanting liberty for all the people in the US makes us fanatics…then I am one of them.

    The talk about Ron Paul is that….just talk. If anyone who is a naysayer against Paul did just some research they would clearly see that he is the only candidate that is serious about restoring our freedoms. Not just his….all of us. His record proves this and he has been consistent in his quest to restore liberty.

    Remember that freedom is the principle this country was founded upon and it is bigger and more important than any one man, including Ron Paul. It should matter not that Ron Paul is running for president but that he beleives in liberty just as you and I do. I support Ron Paul because he is the only candidate that wants all of us to be free and no matter how you want to debate it or call it names…I choose freedom 7 days a week and twice on Sundays. Restoring liberty should be at the top of the list for everyone that subscribes to the Personal Liberty Digest and Ron Paul is seeking the presidential nomination to restore it.

    • Andee

      Nicely written…

  • Scott

    I am just wondering how a “regular reader” of this newsletter not know that you (Bob) endorse Ron Paul for President.

    • Ted Crawford

      I’m reminded, in this case, of something I once read, saddly I don’t remember where or who said it but it seems very approiate here! “A message can travel around the World in a fraction of a second, but that last 1/4 of an inch between the eardrum and the brain often takes a lifetime”

      • Andee

        You just might find it on search…

  • http://N/A Bill Deupree

    I believe Ron Paul deminstrates more integrity than the total of the others. Integrity? Yes, integrity. I place integrity at the top of the list of attributes of a successful president. If you have integrity you can always find people with wisdome to fill positions. I think integrity is at one end and ‘big ego’ at the other end. I believe a person with a bid ego is much more likely to make selfish decisions(some leading to corruption)than a person recognized as having a lot of integrity.

    • Andee

      Integrity, honorable, respectful, mindful, responsible, moral, ethical, straight forward…these are more important in a candidate than most any other credential..these come with being a Christian and not being ashamed of it..this wonderful candidate posseses all of these, remains humble and in true service to his State of Texas..they should be very proud of him..I am and I am not from Texas….he uses common sense and avoid PC which has literally split our nation; homosexuality has weakened it and Putin told the Obummer this on the Obummer’s first visit to Russia…

  • E.W.

    unequivocally – adv. completely clear, without the possibility of doubt -

    so, it’s completely clear that Bob did not commit. unequivocally is not an answer. It’s an adverb to another definite conclusion.

    That’s unequivocally evasive.

    I’m still wondering……….whether he endorses Ron Paul or not.

    • Ted Crawford

      While, clearly, he and I completely disagree, Bob Livingston has succinctly, repeatedly,and unashamedly advocated for Dr. Pauls vision! It boggles my mind that any who come here often would even think to question his loyalty! WOW!!

    • http://www.boblivingstonletter.com/ Bob Livingston

      Dear E.W.,

      I have for many years written that Ron Paul is one of a very few of the true statesmen left in Washington, D.C. I wholeheartedly, unabashedly and unashamedly believe Ron Paul should be the next president. Does that clarify for you?

      Best wishes,
      Bob

      • Terrie

        My husband and I are recent Ron Paul supporters, after extensive reading and reading about the issues and the stated solutions by the different candidates. Everyone is right about Ron Paul being the constant American Constitutionalist. WE THE PEOPLE – BILL OF RIGHTS, not rob from the working public and pad your offshore bank accounts. They should have truth in advertising RON PAUL vs GOLDMAN SACKS *look at everyone’s major contributors. Everyone take your knowledge and go to the media and write and write and write, WRITE RON PAUL IN EVEN IF HE DOES NOT GET ANY BIG BANK BACKING I mean the Republician Nomination Remember “WE THE PEOPLE”. SAVE AMERICA FOR OUR FUTURE. Don’t sign it all over to the banks without a fight! All plans are not perfect but one of the rules of Ron Paul’s plan is transition, bringing many scholars of economics, military border secutity, verifing the Constitutionalness of any proposal before implementation! Freedom of the individual, not freedom JUST for the people that can afford to file incorporation paperwork to remove any financial responsibility from their actions! GO RON PAUL 2012!

      • Andee

        Thanks for the clarification..glad you are into our postings too!!

    The most meaningful step we can take toward Consciousness is when people are no longer corporations and corporations are no longer people. This is taken from my book The Humanitarian Code. Look for it soon. Go Ron Paul!

    • Michael

      Amen Jeff.

    • Andee

      I agree with you Jeff wholly and thanks for posting! Take a look at what I am going to write you all…see what you think..perhaps, if this is true, we need to re install the first Constitution. Lincoln was our last President of the Republic, he declared Martial Law and continued it long after the war was over. In that time frame, a new Constitution was employed…written..here is the difference it made…it made each and everyone of us chattel assets to the US government; when we sign a BC, we sign our children over to them if they so desire to impeded upon what we feel are our rights as parents. The first Constitution was The Constitution for the United States of America; the second was The Constiution of the United States of America…this one made us a huge corporation…think we need to go back if indeed, and it is on the Search engines as being so, to the first one?What do you all think?

  • Mark

    Republicans and Democrats have ruled this country exclusively for over 60 years now. Is this country in better or worse shape than before the two party system? Do you have more or the same freedoms they did 60 years ago?

    Stop wasting your votes! Think outside of the box of the news media! Stop the madness VOTE Independent!

    NO MORE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN TRAITORS!!!!!

  • Betty Hopkins

    In my opinion NOW it is not only who is best for the USA, but WHO is best for the USA that CAN beat Obama.

    • ChristyK

      If Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum win, the only thing in your life that will change from Obama is the rhetoric. They are all for big government in your life. All, except possibly Santorum, are world government people (CFR, Bilderberg, etc.). All would continue excesive wars all over the globe with no soldiers left to defend our borders. All would continue to increase the debt which is currently higher than our GDP. All would continue to destroy our liberty. They all support the Patriot Act (warrantless wiretaps) and NDAA (indefinite detention of Americans without trial). I don’t see how any of them would improve our lives or our country at all.

      • http://www.objectivism101.com Antony

        Once again, CristyK… You are spot on!

      • http://yahoo ted

        has anyone watched the debates? when ron paul speaks the rivals laugh. what do u think if he becomes president, nothing will get done because he is a person who has lost touch with reality. and everyone knows it. pull all our troops out of the rest of the world, yea russia, china and all the radical muslim countries would love that. in 20 years we would no longer exist. and for ron paul having a better chance of beating obama,he cant even beat anyone left in the existing group. lets get real and vote for a man that loves his country more then he loves his xwives.vote for newt and will be back to the great reagen years.

      • Brady

        CristyK-Great Post !!

      • Andee

        Santorum, while in office, voted for every debt ceiling hike, every monetary increase that came across his desk..he is big government and big spender…beware, beware for he is the fox that is in the hen’s house!!!

        Wonder what would happen if Ron ran independent..would he make it by splitting the vote or would the Obummer get in?

  • Floorguy

    They have you confused on the teams playing the game

    Republican v. Democrat
    Progressive v. Constervative….

    No! It is We the F’n People v. the Federal, State & local government.
    Status quo v. the people.

    • http://www.objectivism101.com Antony

      You’re on the right track, Floorguy. When you boil it all down, it is INDIVIDUALISM vs COLLECTIVISM.

      That simple.

  • D.

    Ron Paul is the last hope America has for restoring our Constitutional Republic. All the rest are bought and paid for by the puppet Masters who realize that a majority of civilization is “brain dead”. I’ts not about Republican or Democrat. It’s about waking up to the truth people. If you fail to embrace the truth, you will see tyranny destroy us…..

    • Bill

      D. , you are so right. I am a lifelong republican that is willing to vote for any honest person with good ideas, no matter the party affiliation. The old line Republicans are scared by Ron Paul and don’t understand him. Most of them will never switch over to him. They don’t realize that in a general election , it is not just Republicans voting. Ron Paul would pull in most of the Republicans, a “majority” of the independents, and surprise, would grab a majority of the young voters and conservative democrats away from Obama. To the folks in Florida, pls don’t feed this Gingrich foolishness anymore votes. A vote for Gingrich is a vote for Obama.

  • http://www.WallStreetCorner.com Larry Oakley

    Hi Steve:

    While we like some of Ron Paul’s ideas, Rosanne @ I agree that he should not be president. Newt on the other hand has the guts to take President Obama and his workers’ bad mouthing and respond appropriately. For example, he is able to give his opinion of the media’s failures as demonstrated in the recent debate, which we believe was a key reason for his win in SC. If he becomes president, we feel that he should use the abilities of Rick Santorim and perhaps Ron Paul for the good of the country. Rick would make a very good VP in our opinion, for example.

    • Bill

      Newt doesn’t have the slightest chance of beating Obama, far less than Ron Paul. While the evangelists are good people, they are by far a small minority in America. Newt in a general election would be lucky to carry even South Carolina. Other minorities, black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian & Islamic Americans will not go more than 10-15% of their numbers to him. Obama would love to have Newt to run against. A little tough talk now doesn’t cover up years of problems with many categories of ethics for him. If he cheats on several wives and doesn’t have a problem with it, what will he do to America? Clue,see how he fed from the trough in the mortgage agency. Just one example.

      • Steve

        Bill,
        What make’s you think that these groups would vote for RP?

    • http://www.objectivism101.com Antony

      Newt is a politician’s politician. He is a slick character and this has been shown throughout his political career. This cannot be overstated. You are being handed a choice of packaging offered by the elite and the media. Do not be fooled by pretty words and a diverted goal. Beating Obama cannot be the primary goal for true conservatives. Obama is a puppet of collectivism and nothing more… but so is Newt. So please don’t fall into the same trap laid every election cycle to choose the lesser of two evils… All you end up with is evil.

      Look to one’s ACTUAL voting record. NOT their words. This is politics 101.

    • Andee

      I respect your view; however Santorum and Newt are big government and big spenders…just check out their voting records and who and what they belong to..the organizations…when you rightly and fully understand the membership in the CFR, I bet you will change your minds.

  • Dave Pierce

    RON PAUL is the only choice for President of these US. The time is right for his constitutional form of govt. and foreign policy and for ending the FED and returning the US to the gold stamdard which is the only money policy allowed by the constitution. IT’S TIME TO BRING OUR TROOPS HOME ONCE AND FOR ALL FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONG PROTECTING OUR NATION AND NOT OTHER NATIONS. tHE us IS BROKE AND CAN NO LONGER AFFORD KEEPING TROOPS IN OTHER COUNTRIES OR FIGHTING NEVER ENDING WARS IN FAR OFF LANDS THAT DO NOTHING BUT USE UP OUR BRAVE MILITARY FAMILIES AND DO NOTHING TO INCREASE OUR SAFTEY. VOTE RON PAUL 2012!!!

    • Ted Crawford

      Dr. Pauls idea to create an American version of the Maginot Line would work even less well than did the original one!

    Ron Paul is a dreamer who is fifty years behind the times.

    • http://personalliberty.com Shirley

      What good is it to just beat Obama and not have anything else to offer. Newt is a member of the Futurests Org. the alter to Progressives, they both have the same goals…..Globalist Economy

    • Ted Crawford

      Frank
      Saddly I have to agree with you. Dr. Paul’s correct that we should never have abandoned our reliance on the Gold Standard, and that the Federal Reserve should never have been created! The problem is they were abandoned and created and the whole World followed us into that idiotic economic utopia. Without a hugh, multi-national agreement we dare not attempt to return! His Foreign Affairs and National Defence positions would have worked well in the 19th. century and even for the first couple of decades of the 20th.! They are totally inadaquate for any modern nation that would be a world policy maker!

      • ChristyK

        If we don’t make the big changes that Ron Paul is talking about (and no other candidate is), there will not be a Republic left, much less a world leader. Nobody (except Paul) is talking about how bad our debt is, how much of our debt is short-term and therefore how our interest is likely to go up quickly (like Europe), how that will lead to money printing which will lead to the world dropping the dollar as the world reserve currency. When the dollar is dropped we will see hyper inflation (see Weimar Republic & Zimbabwe). The country will either cease to exist or will change to a 3rd world dictatorship. We must reduce spending, increase liberty, and increase self-sufficiency to save our nation. Only Ron Paul speaks the truth. Don’t trust this nation to the liars.

      • Ted Crawford

        I’m afraid that I view the election of Dr. Paul as just another, in a series over the past two or three decades, knee-jerk response to our problems. I’m far more concerned, however with the election of a proper Congress. A properly lead and inspired Congress has far more real power than any President, by Constitutional design. The problem, of course is it takes longer and it’s far harded to accomplish that!

      • http://www.objectivism101.com Antony

        Ted, I’m not sure how Paul’s 30+ years of the same exact positions and being right over and over during that time can be called a knee-jerk reaction. All it shows is that people are finally waking up to reality and recognizing the only available course to steer clear of the impending cliff brought about by the FED, collectivism and Washington corruption. We do not have years to turn the ship.

        I agree we have to turn Congress in the same manner, but Paul can and will SHOW how a true conservative (libertarian) can maximize freedom and prosperity by eliminating all those unconstitutional executive orders, make plain who are the TRUE RINOs in congress and bring back statesmanship and true republicanism to the White House.

        As for your FED argument, I’m not sure you know this, but he sees no reason to do away with the FED overnight, as seems to be your implied argument. He wants to repeal the legal tender laws, so that gold, silver and competing currencies can be lawful. This will allow Americans to choose their store of value. Why would anyone choose to hold Reserve Notes?? These would go away slowly and the fed would die off naturally.

      • Bill

        Ted, I agree with you. I don’t think Ron would be threatening the congress to pass this “right now” so that we can get this nation under more dictatorial control, (my words)It is up to the president to sign off on any law that would be submitted to him/her. I don’t think Ron would be in your pocketbook forcing you to do things that were against the constitution. No other candidate even comes close. Why do you think the “conservative” talk radio, the media, woman groups and other socialist don’t want him there? It’s to push their own agenda down the throats of ever one but them. They are hoping that if he is severely marginalized people will forget about his message. The message of Liberty and Freedom is just too big and strong for people who want to enslave others for their selfish pursuits. Just watch any 2 year old child’s response to limitation of their freedom. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. We freedom loving adults are the same way with a similar response when freedom, guaranteed, is imposed on us.(Try prison or house arrest to help understand if this is not clear)

        “World Policy Maker”. That my friend Ted Crawford, is part of the faulty thinking of the past 100 years. Whether you call it world policy maker or policeman of the world, because only by being the world’s policeman can any nation, powerful or not, “control” or “make” world policy – i.e. be a dictator to the world. I think it is better to treat all nations as truly independent “free” and “sovereign” nations, with whom we trade to our mutual benefit. As a “somewhat” side note, the falling value of the U.S. dollar has a huge impact on the rising price of basic commodities like food to the citizens of other nations, leading to their hatred of us.

        So I have to agree with Ron Paul’s position, both with regard to the FED and his position on foreign policy.

        With regard to foreign policy, Ron Paul has not said he would dismantle our defense, only get us off of foreign land. Turning the argument around, I would hate to have the troops of any foreign nation on military bases in America, like we place on other countries.

        Now I don’t know for sure, but I suspect, because it would strengthen our defense,that Ron Paul would spend money to upgrade and research improved military technology, much like Reagon upgraded our defense technology.

      Voting for Gingrich is craziness..I have followed that man inadvertantly as well as on purpose since his entry into the political game,,and he’s pure mean…He talks big..but then he always had,,that man is bad news..Our choices this time are limited..and logic dictates Ron Paul..

      • Andee

        The facial contortions, body language and eye contact tell it all about a candidate and Mitt – well his eyes are even evil as are the Obummer’s eyes; his body language speaks mounds about him; Newt is a little harder to read..he is truly a professional at it all..he gets the eye contact, knows when to smile and look serious, knows when to interject a bit of humor if needed, his hands do not talk too much or too little..but he is evil..I have not always followed him but I sure have been doing my reading on each of the candidates..Mitt is downright scary!

    • Pepper

      Actually Ron Paul is 50 years ahead of the times. He sees what is going to happen to our once great Republic if we don’t have the courage to turn things around while we still can.

      When you’re in a car going 80mph towards a cliff you need to change drivers. But you don’t need a driver who will still go the same direction but only 75mph. You need somebody who is going to slam on the brakes and turn around.

      • Steve

        Yea and make drugs legal so it’s not so scary right. Yea just get high and get to work well when ya feel like it (.)(.)

      • Allan12

        Steve, do you REALLY believe about Ron Paul what you just said? Just because he believes in personal freedom and thereby believes in legalizing drugs does not say he thinks more people should use them or would use them or that using them is a useful smart thing to do!

        Reality suggests any time you attempt to limit access to any item, you increase the black market (crime element) associated with that item. Look at the short-lived prohibition era in America. Legalizing all drugs would make that commodity safer to get, would bring drug users out of the shadows and more available for getting help with their problems without the murders associated with drugs now and the cost of attempting to police drugs. Tobacco use in America has naturally declined over the last 100 years despite its remaining legal. Don’t be so afraid of legalizing other substances.

        Just so you know, I am 61 years old and have never used nor would I ever use any drug not prescibed to me by recognized member of the medical profession, and even then I would question all potential side effects. I think you need to trust people to act in their own best interests, as long as their actions don’t significantly increase your risks.

        Good analogy! Very good! It is time, as if never before, that the sheeple get their heads out of their …… and read, study, research and study some more on these candidates..if you all would and if our friends would, they would come to vote Ron in one way or the other. It is seldom that the electoral college votes the will of the people; hence, they need gone..the RNC needs new blood, the DNC needs new blood and perhaps the capability and wanton desire to be human, caring and quit bringing fear into our precious America..God Bless America…

    • Dorthy

      Newt Gingrich has got it right when he says Obama has got to be beat.
      People, listen to his ideas. He tells you what has got to be done, to fix Washington Dc. What he will do the next day in office, is to do away with all of those zars. He goes on with things that will happen
      right after he enters the white house. He will waste no time.

      • Andee

        Newt would likely get rid of the Czars; however, he is big government and big spending…he is a member of the CFR and you need to read about that and what they are about..also the Bilderbergs…

    • Brian

      Yet in poll after poll Ron Paul are neck and beck with Obsma and Newt never comes close.

      • Andee

        If the media were fair, if the media would do its job as they are supposed to, Ron would be way out in front of flip flopper Mitt, big spender Santorum and big government Newt…truly he would…so it is up to we citizens to get the word out…I try to comment on as many lines as I can..always the same basic message as you see me posting here…for our nation, under our God, vote for Ron…he is for “We the People.” That is most important of all…………

    • Andee

      Frank, why do we want to beat Obama with another Obama only one that he is cute, heavy set and a member of CFR and carries the same packages of what will be done as the Obummer does? Explain that to me…I forgot one thing…Obummer has these ears that he teases himself over..Newt does not have those and does not use a teleprompter..these are the basic and noticeable differences as I can see it.

  • Patricia

    Ron Paul is the most consistent runner in his beliefs about our civil liberties, our rights and our Constitution. He is honest, has integrity and is overall the people’s choice. Go Ron Paul!

    • http://n/a sheepdog

      Agree fully with everything you said except for him being “the peoples choice”. Unfortunately, the majority of people are now the combination of government employees, union members, liberal nut cases, welfare recipients, misguided do gooders and worthless occupier types. Also, he does not have the backing of the machine so has no chance. RP knows all this, but is steadfast in presenting his views hoping to make people think. God Bless him.

      • ChristyK

        You say that Ron Paul has no chance, but he is the only chance of beating Obama. Ron Paul is consistently polling near 20%. Very few Ron Paul supports will switch and vote for Gingrich, Romney, or Santorum if they are the nominee, so a vote for Gingrich, Romney or Santorum is a vote for Obama. Most supporters of the other 3, even if they dont’ care for Ron Paul, will vote for Ron Paul instead of Obama because they are “anybody but Obama” voters. Ron Paul will get a large majority of the independents and will even pick up anti-war and personal liberty democrats. He is our best bet to beat Obama. Saving our Republic is a nice bonus.

      • Anthony

        I agree with you free mind, Most people make their decisions based on feeling rather than logic. Instead of doing the careful research that is required to make a Ron Paul decision, they listen to their friends and others who are against him and support there claims without and viable knowledge! Anyone who truly knows how our money works, and that its printed out of thin air with a percentage of debt attached knows that our current system is set up to enslave the people that are tied to it, Ron Paul knows this, and so do those who support him. There isnt a single other candidate that will shut this system down and implement a new one. That is the HOPE that we need to rebuilt this great nation! RON PAUL 2012!

      • R from Nevada

        right on anthony

      • sandy

        Ditto! Ron Paul is the only one with common sense. He will work to get us out of this mess, by helping people understand their right to liberty. How people just don’t understand this to begin with is beyond me. I can only imagine that it is because our government has done a good job of brainwashing and indoctrinating society.

      • CloudWalker

        If you look at his voting record in Congress you will see that Ron Paul is FOR the American people. He has no agenda to ‘big business’ and will help each and every one in the Middle Class. He is a logical choice to help the country reclaim the life styles we have lost with the last several Presidents. It is time to make America the GREAT country she has been and can be again, don’t you think?

      • Andee

        He is the best candidate to comfe forth since Lincoln, perhaps Kennedy for most of us know he was killed by our leaders because he would not play in their courts all the time…nevertheless, he is gone and now we have another chance for a truly good and fine candidate in Ron Paul..go Paul go!!!!

        I served during the stupid ‘Nam era and you mister Marine should read the Constitution and then honestly tell me Ron Paul is a nut.The President was sworn in to uphold the law and who was the last President to do that.All he is saying, we have lost our Liberties and Freedoms do to the fact the Federal gov’t has gotten too big.

        The Federal gov’t responsibilities are to provide a monetary system and a defense of our country.They blew the monetary system in 1913 by passing an illegal ratification to allow a private company like the Federal Reserve print money.Plus,why do we have 900 bases all over the world,which 300 are secret.This isn’t a defense of our country ? We were not to be the policemen of the world.

        So,Mr.marine,get your facts right before you make such uneducated posts.Ron Paul is for downsizing the gov’t and to bring our money back and follow the Constitution.Does that sound nutty ??

        The over zelouse, seemingly at time even mindless devotion to Dr. Paul is eerily reminiscent to that given to Obama in 2008! The more I read from Dr. Pauls supporters the more confident I become that my belief that he must not be allowed anywhere near any seat of power is the correct one!

      • ChristyK

        Don’t let some bad apples ruin your views on Ron Paul who is an honorable, honest man who truly cares about this country. Free mind started with a reasonable if somewhat insulting comment but ended up with unnecessary insults. Unfortunately our public school system doesn’t teach logic and debating so most americans resort to insults. It gives everyone a bad name.

        Ron Paul supporters, please use facts and logic, not insults to support Ron Paul. The insults drive people away. It is hard enought to convince people of the truth of his message when they have been taught otherwise from birth. We don’t need personal insults driving people away from the cause of liberty and truth.

      • http://www.objectivism101.com Antony

        Thank you ChristyK,

        I try to say the same in comment sections when similar remarks are made. We need to be vocal, definitely, but civil in all dealings. Facts and manners boost candidates, but nasty remarks and insults just turn people off… and NOT just the person to whom the remarks were made.

      • Anthony

        Ted you must open your eyes! Its not Ron Paul that we are voting for….its what he believes in! The problem with our country lies within our monetary system (Federal Reserve). Its is the top of the pyramid…its like going to the doctor with a broken leg and telling him to look at your arm! If the doctor wraps up your arm and puts a brace on it will it help your leg? You see all the other candidates talk about the problems we have……but none except Paul will even talk about what is feeding all of our problems. If the people want their country back we have to go to the source of the problem! The Federal Reserve! If you want to wake-up Get the Book “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin.

        But I must warn you once you wake-up you can never go back! That’s what Ron Paul really means when he say “once somebody comes to our side to vote they never go back!

      • Fred Van Liew

        Why not go to RonPaul2012.com and read what Ron is actually saying and has done? Novel idea. To call Ron Paul supporters “Progressives” is to be clueless about its meaning. It is hard not to snipe at those who parrot media propaganda while staying uninformed of the truths. Yes, that takes initiative to find the Truth, as it is in short supply in politics. You can find it on the KevinTrudeau show, KTRadio.com, and its archives. Ron Paul is the real deal, and until we want the real deal, we will continue to get those who read prompters and speeches well, even though they are not sharing beliefs or their heart, just entirely to get elected.

      • Scott

        Ted never said that Ron Paul supporters are progressives. He compared the zealotry of some Ron Paul supporters to that of “most progressives”. And I agree. Some of the pro-Paul comments posted here and elsewhere make me wonder. If his supporters are that mean and condescending, how do you think that reflects on him?
        However I don’t think the mean-spirited posts are based on dedication to the candidate. IMO, it’s a person’s “internet personality”, and it can be seen anywhere online. “You dare to disagree with ME?! You sorry piece of @#$^, I’m gonna $%&*@ your mindless little ^%#&%!!!”
        Chill out people, and let’s have a reasoned discussion without the insults.

      • Brian

        Perhaps it is you that has a problem if you decide who to vote for based on comments by supporters instead of the positions and record of the candidate. But now we know how America got into this mess.

      • David H.

        Either you don’t know what a progressive is or you think of as a term to use to belittle Ron Paul supporters! In either case, calling Ron Paul a progressive just shows your ignorance! A progressive is a person or group with the ideal to circumvent the Constitution in order to change America’s political and economic system from what the founding fathers had set up! Ron Paul has fought for decades to preserve Constitutional government while people like Romney and Santorum and Gingrich have ignored the Constitution in order to advance their ideals!! If you are going to use the term “progressive”, use it to describe the candidates who are progressives, not a true conservative such as Ron Paul!!

      • mac

        Unfotunately, sir, when you speak of mindless devotion, you must refer to yourself.. I think it was Einstein that said that doing the same thing over and over again is the very definition of insanity. We have been puttng these people in office for decades and they always compromise our liberty. Yet you want to do the same thing that has been done for decades, that has worked only for losing liberty and creating a larger aand larger police state. You obviously are a big government enthusiast. You apparently know nothing of Mr. Paul, and know nothing of small government. Since I never was a Paul follower until this year, I DID DO my research with full diligence, I will never vote for another conservative socialist again. You may do so, and I will not call you names as you have I. I will not ask why you choose to keep drinking tha poison kool aid. Those things are your own responsibility. One thing I will do, the next time you cry about intrusive government is tell you, once again, the definition of insanity ( and chuckle at the absurdity of your complaint), so you can recall your mental status.

      • Bruce Porter Sr

        So you are happy with the status quo? You have got to work hard to show me any difference between the Kenyan and any of the other republicans. Heck, Romney is indistinguishable, except, of course, skin color. So I submit to you that a vote for Romobama is simply a racist vote. There is no real difference in their big government (marxist) theology…whoops, politics. The Grinch is a chameleon, and goes to the highest bidder….check his record of non-accomplishment and double dealing.
        I have been asked to run for office by both parties long ago, however, being ordained and a politician was kinda like being a “holy devil” so I passed, my salvation being more important to me.
        I’m also a combat wounded Airborne Ranger, Special Forces (Green Beret), so I have fought in one of our non declared illegal (under that instrument that all politicians except Dr Paul hate, the Constitution) wars. Aren’t you getting sick and tired of the banks getting rich sending us to fight various wars for no particular legitimate reason? Gotta stop…I might get emotional and cry on my Purple Heart that made LBJ millions.

      • T-RAV_9

        Ted,
        The fact that more and more people are talking about Ron Paul is not at all making him like Obama in 2008. The reason people are talking about him is because he is real. He wants to solve the real issues in America rather than tell the public that they will be solved with no intention of doing it. If you notice the media is bashing Ron Paul and the public likes him. With Obama the media was in live with him and that is what made the people love him. But now the people are seeing right through the nonsense and propaganda and opening thier eyes and they can sense that the real answer is Ron Paul. Just doing the research yourself and not depending on the media can do alot. His love for the constitution and hi knowledge of the monetary system can turn this country around. RON PAUL 2012

      • Andee

        Are you feeling a bit down in the dumps? Do you feel a pity party for yourself? Is it so wrong to have a sincere passion for a truly good candidate in your mind? Is it wrong to take time to truly study a candidate before you become passionate and believe in his strengths, acknowledge his weaknesses and then, well, we all have the latter, but sometimes we need to step back and realize that perhaps in our own, narrow minds, that just perhaps we have misjudged and mischaracterized a person for being on the right side of things for year in and year out. God Bless You and I hope you will ask the Lord to open your mind to see the true picture out there in this most critical of times.

      Ron Paul’s expressed policy of zero tax on earned income alone is enough
      to generate private investments to kick-start the American economy. But of course this policy is tied to a foreign policy of non-intervention in the affairs of nations. Meaning no foreign aid, unnecessary military bases such as those in Korea, Germany, etc., closed; and departments like Education, EPA, Interior, etc., defunded.

      You have to understand all these issues before you can see how Ron Paul can help the country get out of its mess.

      About the voting numbers: You have to be patient. The numbers are rising. And if the numbers do not rise to the point of making him the nominee, be
      glad he has started to change the direction of this country to regain our
      lost opportunities for a better life.

      Think. Try to learn common sense economics. Let the creative juice in you percolate and flow . . .

      • Andrea

        Except that we as a nation don’t have the time to awaken all these apathetic or ignorant folks. While they argue over minutia regarding Dr Paul’s platform, the elites are pulling out all the stops to maintain the staus quo. They push lousy candidates into the equation to sidetrack these lazy minds and disrupt the process. Make no mistake about it, the only candidate that will even remotely help this nation and its people is clearly Ron Paul. To compare his candidacy with Obama’s shows how loosely folks understand the situation. Obama did nothing for America prior to his worthless election. Look at Ron Paul’s record in Congress for 20 yrs….. If this election goes any other way, America is lost – likely forever. Good Luck.

      • Jack

        Andrea, Your post sums up the situation very clearly. Thanks!

      Steve,
      Though I disagree with you about Ron Paul changing things, I dont’ really care for his son either.
      How ever I dont think that any other canidate is going to make things better, infact I would put money on it that things are going to get alot worse. Big Government is bad for everyone, in a sence it is a dictatorship. it has been proven time and time again that big government becomes a dictatorship.
      I wish you well.

      • Steve

        So you would vote for B.O

      • Andee

        WOW!!! What a mouthful and done so curtly, so briefly!! I often get diarrhea of the mouth so I admire you!

    • Alex Frazier

      Steve, Ron Paul doesn’t have the numbers behind him because he runs on a much smaller budget, provided exclusively from his supporters. He is also constantly snubbed by the news media. He is ignored in the debates. And the media takes every opportunity they can to confuse the message of his platform, which is easy to do since the complexity behind his economic policies are way above most people’s heads.

      If the news media gave Ron Paul the kind of support they are giving Mitt Romney, Paul would be leading by a landslide right now. In the first two states alone he managed a third place win almost neck and neck with Santorum and Romney, and in New Hampshire, he was in a strong and secure second place. In both, with Santorum in Iowa and Huntsman in New Hampshire, they only took decent positions because of their dedicated efforts in those particular states. Take that out of the equation since neither Santorum nor Huntsman did very well outside of those two states, and Ron Paul is practically in a two man race. Gingrich has been practically off the map until now. But South Carolina was predominantly for Gingrich from the start. It was not an unexpected win. For all intents and purposes, we can call South Carolina Newt Gingrich’s Iowa.

      • Ron Paul is 100% for the Constitution. All three of the other remaining candidates have voted for legislation that violates it.

      • Ron Paul has a 30-year unblemished record of voting Constitutionally.

      • Ron Paul doesn’t entertain or take money from lobbyists.

      • Ron Paul is pro-life. He’s the only one of the candidates to attempt legislation that would actually overturn Roe v. Wade; to wit, the Right to Life Act, which declares life as beginning at conception.

      • Ron Paul is a declared born again Christian. Romeny is a Mormon and Santorum a Catholic. Newt, being a Southern boy, is probably Southern Baptist. Ron Paul is the only one whose policies fully reflect his faith.

      • Ron Paul intends to cut the budget in very real and achievable ways. While the other candidates posture, Ron Paul already plans to eliminate a lot of the overseas expenses in terms of unnecessary military spending and foreign aid. He also plans to eliminate five government agencies that not only suck up a lot of tax payer money, but that are oppressive in terms of business and freedom.

      • Ron Paul wants to audit the Federal Reserve and eventually shut it down. In so doing, we can potentially preserve our currency and put an end to inflation, which is the government’s way of taxing us when it can’t tax us. Most people are simply too ignorant to realize that prices aren’t going up. The value of our money is going down.

      • Ron Paul was the man around which the Tea Party first started. Other GOP groups have usurped the movement to their own ends. But Paul is the impetus for the group at its inception.

      The list goes on and on. There is NO candidate who comes close to wanting to do what it is that he not only wants to do, but that he can accomplish. Most of his ideas are Constitutionally achievable without Congress.

      Ron Paul is everything the GOP claims to want. Gingrich and Romney are everything they claim to hate. But somehow, Paul is a nutjob, despite being everything the people are asking for. Romney was the winner before the race ever started, though Romney is a moderate, not a conservative, has flip-flopped on every issue important to the Republicans, and is for all intents and purposes a lighter version of Obama. Newt is the clear conservative alternative to Romney, ignoring, of course, his repeated infidelity, lobbying, ethics violations, etc.

      How anyone can come to the conclusion that someone other than Ron Paul should be our choice of candidate is beyond me.

      So don’t think that Ron Paul’s numbers are low because of any poor policy. His numbers are low because the media is trying to stifle his campaign. They have ignored him from the word go. The really amazing part of his campaign is that despite the media’s efforts, he still took over 20% of the vote in Iowa and over 30% in New Hampshire. And his number nationwide are not actually low. Relative to his numbers in the 2008 campaign, he’s actually climbing significantly.

      Do a little research my friend. Don’t be a sheep following the flock.

        Excellent post.

        God Bless Ron Paul & may He keep him safe.

      • Andee

        This was a super post; it said most of everything that we “passionate” supporters of Ron want to always say, to scream perhaps, shout it to the heavens..which reminds me, knee power will help here I just bet!

        Take a moment and also consider this…Congress does not like it, government employees hate it…CUT the latter 50%..boy we do not need 99 people serving two, do we? Salaries of legislators down, they pay for their own retirement, insurance, etc., when they are out, they do not continue to receive perks from the government…what is wrong with that and lastly, he stated if elected my salary will be $39,000 plus a little..do not have the exact figure..now what is wrong with that figure? DC people are so overly paid and DC is overly staffed…go RON PAUL…

      • Andee

        I recently learned something, well almost learned something for I am not sure I understand it…before the caucus of the involved states and the primary voting started, many delegates were on Ron’s side; then somehow, Romney got them..I am told that if Romney does not garner enough delegates then they go bye bye and those once Ron delegates would revert back to him…anyone know what I am talking about?

      • Andee

        Now the Tea Party group is so out of touch with reality, they do not even acknowledge him..they are, or at least some groups are, touting NEWT..were they ever sane? I left the group a long time ago when Palin was being touted..she is beautiful, smart and did a good job in Alaska, but with her supporting Newt, it is good she did not run…she is like the rest of the Republicans.

      Ron Paul acks like Roben Hood But only wears a white sheet over his head

      • Dorthy

        Cindy, you got that right. Ron Paul will lose because of his ideas on foreign policy. You can not make America weak.

      • Brian

        Offensive military campaigns against non-threats do not weaken us. If Ron Paul’s foreign policy is the dangerous policy why is it the policy of everyone else is the policy that has placed us in peril?

      • Patrick

        There are a zillion posts here, so pardon if I duplicate, but DOROTHY, your remark about Ron’s foreign policy is one of the main problems we have in this country RE the election process and what people should do before they make any decisions.
        I’m talkin’ HOMEWORK. If you don’t do the research, you cannot make sound, information-based statements. Don’t confuse this with what you hear from the media, fergawdsakes.
        Ron Paul’s position is to “return to a foreign policy that puts America’s security first; not fighting wars, policing, and ‘nation-building’ all over the world. Our troops are too valuable to be needlessly put in harms way to serve other nation’s interests.” And further, with over 900 military installations in over 150 countries, our “National security has been compromised because our troops are spread too thin. They belong home, defending America.”
        The above quotes are from the Ron Paul “Super Brochure,” and should give you, Dorothy, and others who are unaware of these facts relative to Dr. Paul’s foreign policy, pause for concern about what you have been thinking.
        PLEASE do your homework!

        Thanks!

      • Andee

        Just because we are not out fighting wars does not mean we are weak; Paul feels and if you think about it..why should we be intervening in others’ countries? That is their land and their people, their culture, their time and their freedom or no freedoms…if they would ask, or if a true need were there we would help. Ron believes that we should take care of America first and foremost and that is true..there is nothing wrong with having our military home..they could be used at the borders to protect us; he is ex military and what he knows is no doubt a lot more than what we know about the entire world of foreign policy…for it is a heck if a lot more than fighting a war that was and is none of our business..consider this too, he would keep America’s oil at home and not sell it off to China or give them drilling rights here…nor would he be giving our money to Brazil to take our jobs, ruin their country further and not handle the monies as intended. He would not be giving Pakistan millions and then see our flag being burned just a few days after receiving the second round of millions..that is not foreign aid…that is stupidity ….plumb stupidity to do such things as mentioned.

        Fisherman…I’m trying to learn as much about all of the candidates as I possibly can, that is why I came to this blog. Can you shed some light on your assessment regarding your Robin Hood portrayal of Dr. Paul, as I believe that the Robin Hood character was more of a progressive liberal than a constitutional libertarian. RH stole from the rich and redistributed to the poor, quite a different animal. I would imagine that the Dr. Paul would not condone any stealing and redistributing of any sort, as I would not either, as it is theft no matter what. Preventing the actual theft is another subject whatsoever, one that Dr. Paul’s supporters are constantly referring. He is also against stealing from the poor and middle class and redistributing to the rich, which is the status of the situation. The gangbanksters of the world are indeed manipulating the world economy under different guises in each country, the FED and IMF in our country is case in point. Not only are they not a government agency, they do not represent nor protect the wealth of the country. They represent the gangbanksters, and wall street and the cabal that works for them and pass themselves as our government. We all know the names; Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Bank Of America, Citigroup, Travelers, as if they were characters of our fairy tales and nursery rhymes of our youth, for it fact, is precisely what we have been fed, fairy tales and bubbe-meises. This is so transparent and obvious to all but the recently born. As to the white sheet comment, I would like for you to present to all the basis of your research, other than the MSM attempt to paint Dr. Pall as a hobgoblin of racism, far from it. At the same time provide your own research(an easy task) with respect to the out and out racism and hatred of the American people and more pointedly the white citizenry of this country by the current tenants of the white house. I sincerely hope by the way that their beautiful children have escaped and not been infected by their parents malignant and despicable disease. I would appreciate any information you have that would paint a different picture for me of Dr. Paul. While you are at it, if you want to include any positive information or negative information of the current tenants of the white House, would be great. and yes by all means while you are at it if you choose to grace these pages with any information to the candidate of your choice that compares or supersedes Dr. Paul’s. You would be contributing to my becoming a responsible American voter. you would enlighten a great number of our citizenry that sit like wooden or stuffed toy in front of a TV and listen to a ventriloquists dummy being manipulated by the puppeteers.

      • Brady

        WarthogO-Your post was brilliant !!!

      • Andee

        Gee! You misspelled Robin! Never saw a white sheet over Ron’s head, cannot even imagine one but I sure can on Santorum and Romney..perhaps you were just tired when you wrote this..

    • http://www.pemsbypat.com patrick J Driscoll

      Does anybody stop to think that the reason Ron Paul is being left out of most of the discussions of canidates is that everyone is pointing out the non things the other canidates are doing and all their missdoings. No one pays attention to Dr. Paul because they cannot find anything derogatory to say about him. I am hoping people will come to their senses and realize what is going on and start to look at the real person we want in the white house.

      • Brian

        Naw, he’s being ignored because the Establishment fears him.

      • Andee

        Me too! He needs more media coverage but of course that will not happen; he is too good, too fine and too honest! The RNC will stick us with one of the other stooges, you know those that just sit there and run the country on big money, over taxation and too many employees who do nothing but think of ways to line their own pockets..that is the RNC for you..call them and complain,perhaps if enough of us do, they will start thinking .. or is there a way to wind them up so they start thinking and truly want to do the best for the nation?

      Steve, you are part of the problem……

    • Bill

      Hello, it not personality you know. If it is, then the people with romance with their government might as well vote for the same as they did in 2008. Get off the teenage infatuation with a person and apply reason. That’s why you were born with a brain, use it.

    • http://yahoo ted

      the only home that ron paul should be running is maybe the old folks home. sign him up before obama puts them all out of business. we need a true patriot who loves his country and who knows our history and most of all is a true believer of how ron reagen ran things. come on board all u ron paul people and newt will lead us into a better nation.

      • lostinparadise

        Hahhahahahahahaha LMAO

      • Laurie Tudor

        Thank you for your invitation, however I have sworn off off of establishment candidates. I would rather write in Ron Paul than throw away my vote one more time on either a Republican or democrate candidate. have been a republican all my life, things never changed, I guess I was a libraterian all along who didnt want to wast a vote, and for that I apologize to you all.

      • Andee

        Me too. Listen! The polls, in WY, open at seven a.m. In 2008 our one electoral vote was cast at 8:00a.m. Tell you anything? We need the electoral college gone.

      • Brady

        You want someone who ran the office like Reagan ? Well,just so you know,when Reagan took over office the deficit was 900 billion and when he left office it was over $3.7 trillion.Initially,he cut taxes one time,but after raised taxes 3 or 4 times.

        So,you want someone like him ?? I think not !

    • ELEONORE BAILEY

        ELEONORE, YOU SAID A MOUTHFUL, AND THE BEAUTIFUL PART IS YOU MAKE SENSE THAT THESE KIDS, WHO WERE NOT BORN YET, AND WERE NEVER TAUGHT ANY HISTORY LESSONS ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF THIS COUNTRY, AND HOW WE SACRIFICED TO SAVE OTHERS WILL NEVER KNOW.

ALL THESE KIDS THINK OF NOWADAYS IS WHERE TO GET THE NEXT HIGH AND THEMSELVES. THEY COMPLETELY ARE WELL INDOCTRINATED BY THE SOCIALISTS AS HITLER DID TO HIS PEOPLE, AND ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH, WHO WOULD DIE FOR “MEIN FUHRER”.

      • Andee

        Wisdom, character, responsibility, accountability, morals, values and ethics..most important in a person no matter who he is or what he is..Ron has those and I read today that our CIA supports Ron as does Israel..would you like to take your negativity back of Ron..and the military, who can say too much against them..they support Ron with campaign support as well as lifting him up as they can..Need I type more?

    • Andee

      Wanting to get out of the UN..how is that not doing some magnanimous for our country..that means they have no business (AGENDA 21, which is their baby), in our country to tell us how to live, dress, talk and eat; rescind the Patriot Act which is as unconstitutional as can be; that is not a big deal, well it is …when it says you can be thrown in jail if you carry more than $10,000 with you or throws people from across the ponds into a holding cell with bread and water carrying a legal passport as well as being an attorney that can practice in the Staes..yeah, he even fought a case against the USA and won it…or how about getting rid of the mockery, the assaults, rape and fondling of we the people by the TSA..dogs do just as good of job and no immoral behaviors and threats; how about revamping and ridding ourselves of the insane Janet Napitilano…I swear she has nothing more to do than sit around and think of how to further hurt and abuse we Americans…that is not much is it? Then, educate our students and give the control back to the States..hmmm. that isn’t much either when the FEDS now want to throw out our early history for homosexuality education..perverse is it not? I truly do not know where you are coming from, perhaps you just do not see Ron for what he truly is…he is supported and endorsed by the CIA, Military and Israel…and Bob ….and we that want our freedoms back and the Constitution being placed back in the front lines of our nation again, with our flag being honored and the National Anthem being sung with respect instead of bellowed out as if a wild bull were singing it…nope, that is not much is it..that is and was our foundation…the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence..we are living under Tyranny now…how about repeal the NDAA law?

    • Aminata Evora

      I will not vote for Ron Paul not because i don’t like him; he is selling America to his enemies, he embarrasses us in front of the whole world by saying we are responsible to what happen to us in 911 attacked; i am againt in foreign policy. He does not talk like a president, he does not sound like a president! I will be scare to death to have someone like him as neighbor because if i was in danger or attack by someone he wouldn’t come to my rescue!
