Someone that gave $50 is likely to give again, I know I will. Plus it shows a wide base of support.

I'm curious what percentage of 11/5/07 donors were first time political donors. I was, and I was proud to see my name up on his recent donor list.

GO RON GO!

Let's "check" your intellectual honesty...

Is Ron Paul a Republican or Libertarian?

Show us any other Republican or a Republican Platform that calls for the legalization of drugs.

Show us any other Republican or Republican Platform that calls for the elimination of the FBI and CIA (Did you watch the debate where Ron Paul when confronted with his own words to eliminate the FBI – Ron Paul started clapping?)

Show us the Republican Platform that opposes the Death Penalty.

Show us the Republican Platform which calls for the US to bail out of: UN, WTO, and bring every US soldier deployed strategically around the world – back to our soil.

You said, "The point? Ron Paul has it right and understands that we must cut back on the encroachments that have hijacked our system of government. If you love the ideals of this country and understand the importance of the rule of law, lend Dr. Paul your support. He is the only candidate with whom you know exactly what it is you're getting: freedom and respect for the individual."

David – simple question... if these government agencies have been formed contrary to our Constitution – why doesn't Ron Paul simply file suit in Federal Court to have them deemed unconstitutional and eliminated?

Ron Paul = Freedom for America!

I can't wait to see Ron Paul this Saturday in Nashville, TN!!!

How many times are you going to post negative things on this post? If you don't like Ron, just be a man and say so. You don't need to spam this post with hate. You can go back to your socialist party and hang out there. You're not really that funny and probably don't have many friends.

Ron Paul is freedom. You speak volumes of what democrat attitudes are. If you do post again, please tell us who you are voting for so we know who to return the favor to.

GOP voters want someone who’s not like Bush
In the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll out 10/3/07, about half of all Republicans (48 percent) want a candidate who takes a “different approach” from that of the current president.

How about Ron Paul!

You wrote: "...would seeing the ACTUAL votes by Ron Paul convince you he is intent on eliminiating the FBI, DH[S], Department of Education, etc??" You then referred to several items listed at http://www.ontheissues.org/Ron_Paul.htm

My comments:
First, not all of the points you listed are representative of an actual VOTE in Congress; some are the viewpoints of a caucus (ex., "Abolish the ... [US] Department of Education" is a statement from the Republican Liberty Caucus) or the rephrased question in a debate (specifically: "Eliminate FBI & DHS" is derived from Fox News' Chris Wallace's question to Ron Paul in the University of New Hampshire debate).

You may consider that a point in symantics, but if you're going to cut 'n' paste items from a website, you should make sure they follow your argument.

Second, you list "No border fence", as a position, but not only do you not cite a date, you are incorrect in stating this as a position by Dr. Paul. In fact – quoting http://www.ontheissues.org – it states that he "Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border. (Sep 2006)" This refers to Bill HR6061 to which he voted in favor of.

Third, if you really want to know where Dr. Paul stands, you should get them direct from his website, rather than via 3rd generation sources.

Lastly, I again request that you provide your source that "George Saros has money to burn", implying that Saros was a contributor to Ron Paul's campaign. A website link will be fine.

Until then, stick to the facts and stop with the weak and indirect analogies (ex. Ralph Nader, Model-T). They only indicate that you are more comfortable with rhetoric than true debate.

I contributed $175 from four or five donations, plus I ordered a shirt for $18 and ordered 1,000 of each of the two types of "slim jim" information sheets that are available in the store at RonPaul2008.com for an additional $60. That's a total of $253 in Q3.

I've received 500 of each of the "slim jims" and already drove around last Friday evening delivering them to newspaper boxes in my neighborhood. The next 500 will hopefully get here before this weekend so I can continue to make deliveries around the neighborhood. It took me from 3:30am until 6:00am to deliver both sets to 500 people, so 2.5 hours isn't a bad time investment if it means people will get the message that the media seems to refuse to report.

I'll probably order many more boxes of "slim jims" and pass them out. $15 for 500 of these is 3 cents each. Though to be fair, I also paid $19 shipping for the first 1,000 and $12 shipping for the next 1,000, so it's more like 4.6 cents each if my math is correct. I can't say for sure that people aren't tossing these without reading them, but we all need to put in the effort if we want Ron Paul to win the Republican nomination. It's a small price to pay for freedom, right?

Ron Paul is like the Fonz. How can you not like the guy? If you don't know him, get to know him!

I haven't ordered any bumper stickers or yard signs yet, but I am planning on it after a few more paychecks come in.

Go Ron Paul!

That said, I'm still voting Democratic in the general elections–no matter who the candidate.

These Ron Paul supporters give great insight into the depth and breath of Devastation the Bush Administration has reeked upon the Nation

Realizing that these Americans actually see Ron Paul as their Saviour is the awakening. The awakening is how complete incompetence at the helm for two terms is the result of a minority of Americans believing anything is better than nothing!

The only way the republicans can beat Hillary is with a pro-war republican, which can neutralize this threat as 80% of America wants our troops out of Iraq. This will make it a philosophical, and domestic policy debate between parties. Ron Paul can beat Hillary on the WAR, Foreign Policy, and Domestic Issues.

Can't you republicans who have had your party stolen and principals destroyed by the NeoCons -former liberal democrats (True) – want to Win and get party back, rather than loose and destroy the future of the GOP? Ron Pual is the onlyone who can win!!

If you read the framers' words and the federalist papers, you'd see that the Constitution was unequivocally designed as a system of limited, defined government. That very idea is repeated time and again both by the men in question as well as early SCOTUS decisions.

Consider also that the Bill of Rights isn't even an original part of the Constitution, and you'll see that the document was created to define the structure and scope of the government. Everything dealing with personal rights came later.

We have drifted away from the government born of the blood and sweat of the forefathers; we have somehow lost hold of the government to which we promised to be bound by and now have a virtually unchecked system of effective decree rather than rule of law (as Congress declares, so shall it be...see the modern application of the interstate commerce clause).

The point? Ron Paul has it right and understands that we must cut back on the encroachments that have hijacked our system of government. If you love the ideals of this country and understand the importance of the rule of law, lend Dr. Paul your support. He is the only candidate with whom you know exactly what it is you're getting: freedom and respect for the individual.

It's hard to phathom, but if we tax only purchases- at a higher rate of course- then people will be paying taxes on what they buy, not what they make. Why don't more people see the sense and smartness of this? I love this idea, because it's truly a fair way for people such as drug dealers and those making an 'underground' kind of income to have to pay into our government. And no more IRS is a thought that should make people happy.

I donated to Ron Paul's campaign because I want my country back!

Pam,

* Ron Paul is not against stem cell research. In fact he wants researchers free to explore that area, and has said so. He voted against federal subsidies as the federal government doesn't have a legal mandate to fund medical research. Want to change that, amend the Constitution to say the Feds need to do medicine.

* Dr. Paul is an OB/GYN. He's delivered lots of babies and is personally against abortion. However he wants to leave that entirely up to the states. California says "abortion is legal", he won't say boo.

* Regarding health care, his experience as a doctor is that patient care is worse in managed care (HMOs), particularly government-run ones. I've seen research to that effect but I will grant it's debateable.

Tricia,

* Ron Paul is the most explicit supporter of free trade between nations. However he's against carefully engineered tariffs and protectionism that give an edge to this company or that.

* I believe I have heard he wants to get rid of the CIA, but he has said in debates and interviews that he wants an intelligence service. I think he's just tired of the CIA overthrowing foreign elected governments (Nicaragua, Iran, etc).

James,

* I guess you forgot that Rep. Paul proposed legislation to fund hunting down Osama bin Laden and was rebuffed. Meanwhile Bush and the rest, once they had used bin Laden as a foil to get Iraq started, say publicly they don't care about the man that attacked us.

I'd love to see more debate on Ron Paul's policy positions. Sadly it seems that due to the media's poor reporting (and in some cases lying) we will have to wait a while for that day.

You seem very foolish to actually believe that the constiution does not limit the federal govt. It is called anything not expressely stated in the Constitution should be allocated to the states. DId you know that?

Do you know that the military act gives Bush the power to declare any AMERICAN CITIZEN an any enemy combatent?

Why don't you do some research? Where is it in the Constitution that gives the federal govt the tax the incomes of the American people?

Listen, folks. If you hate the income tax and would like it gone, to be replaced with nothing, government must be shrunk. It's that simple. Ron Paul is the only chance you have of possibly bringing that about. You can spend your hard earned money better than Washington politicians. Vote for Ron Paul.

You advised me to read up on Goldwater – the guy who ran a failed campaign. I guess it would be fitting to compare it to Ron Paul, eh?

Where you and Ron Paul error dramatically is the assumption our Constitution defines the LIMITS of Government. Rather, the Constitution defines the RIGHTS of the people. The American people have the RIGHT to forge a Government "of the people, by the people, for the people"... and yes to PROTECT the people (FBI, CIA, etc).

Your clarion call to stand up for the Constitution (and elect Ron Paul) is akin to telling everyone to abandon their fancy cars/trucks and stand up for the Ford Model T.

Sadly, Tricia, he does. In fact it seems rather apparent he believes the next wave of attacks on America will come by wooden ships and pirates with swords (Paul advocates every US soldier in the world should leave any foreign assignment and protect our shores).

Ron Paul is the the Republicans what Ralph Nader was to Democrats... a camelian attempting to highjack a national party because they couldn't get any votes being themselves (Ralph Nader = Green, Ron Paul = Libertarian).

But they'll forge ahead with Julie Annie and get whupped...............

Way to go, Dr. Paul. You can do this.

Why don't you come to Michigan and see what "free trade" has done here. There is no such thing as free trade. What we have in the USA is "rigged trade" and currency manipulation.(AKA China) I am all for taking care of our own for awhile and Dr. Paul may be the man.
