Republican Party?!?!? If he were running as a Democrat or even an Independent I could see him polling a LOT higher. Has anyone stopped to consider for a minute that maybe the reason he polls consistently in single digits is that such polls are comprised of likely and/or registered voters in REPUBLICAN caucuses and primaries? For a party that voted twice for George W Bush into the office of commander in-chief, I doubt such a Pro-Torture, Pro-War, and Pro-Religion in Government pool of voters would be interested in the truth to power that Ron Paul speaks and his insistence of upholding the constitution and separation of church and state. But his identification with the Republican party is why I cannot, in good conscience, vote for Ron Paul. Instead I would ask Dr. Paul to please consider a run as an Independent.

It's like Mother Theresa said.... "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." I'm tired of paying taxes for programs I'll never use like social security... and federal income tax is unconstitutional anyway.

Let me point out though, it does not matter what party you are registered under, you can vote for anyone you want. On the 2nd Amendment, Ron Paul is on the money. The fact that there are crazies running around shooting people and creating a negative stigma for gun owners. The 2nd amendment was in fact written to allow people to keep the government in check, and take it down should it be needed. This is a legitimate concern these days, and we need to keep our constitution. Another point I would like to make, while i don't agree with everything Ron Paul says, or all his positions, I do firmly believe, that if they people speak, he will listen, and the majority would rule. This would not, and has not been the case with other leaders. I do not think Paul is as polished as he could be, but the message is clear, and he has proven himself to be beyond reproach. I don't care who you are, you have to respect that. Life is too complicated these days, and while we don't always agree on everything, I would hope, that given the chance, Paul will listen to the people, after all, that is what he is all about... the people, our freedom, and restoring the republic. Thanks again for staying involved if we agree or not. Congratulations to you folks, who have proclaimed you have changed your voter registration to vote for Ron Paul.

More people are aware of things 'you people' think we should care about, like what kind of trouble Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have gotten themselves into this week. That is repulsive and intolerable. The American people are being 'dumbed down' and misinformed, and this network takes a fair share of the blame. Here's a newsworthy story: The American People are becoming more and more aware that we can no longer allow the corrupt policies and Corporate Machine to run on cruise-control; because absolute powers will ALWAYS corrupt, and we have long since passed that mile-marker. America is waking up now. We have a year to go and most voters have internet connections. While many corporate sites are filtering-out much of the Ron Paul phenomenon, there is a passionate and unstoppable drive from many 'true Americans' to get the word out that our Constitution is being molested, and we have to remedy the problem before it's out of our hands. Ron Paul is the only candidate willing to acknowledge the truth, while every last one of the others turn a blind eye to it (their only difference are the degrees to which heads are turning from the 'real' issues of today).

More people are aware of things 'you people' think we should care about, like what kind of trouble Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have gotten themselves into this week. That is repulsive and intolerable. The American people are being 'dumbed down' and misinformed, and this network takes a fair share of the blame. Here's a newsworthy story: The American People are becoming more and more aware that we can no longer allow the corrupt policies and Corporate Machine to run on cruise-control; because absolute powers will ALWAYS corrupt, and we have long since passed that mile-marker.

America is waking up now. We have a year to go and most voters have internet connections. While many corporate sites are filtering-out much of the Ron Paul phenomenon, there is a passionate and unstoppable drive from many 'true Americans' to get the word out that our Constitution is being molested, and we have to remedy the problem before it's out of our hands. Ron Paul is the only candidate willing to acknowledge the truth, while every last one of the others turn a blind eye to it (their only difference are the degrees to which heads are turning from the 'real' issues of today). THAT'S the shocker.

It is ashame that not all Americans are VOTING. Let me state this again; we as American need to be voting even if it means that a bunch of people write in someone for city council. It starts there. As to those that think Ron Paul is a statesman, I must respectfully disagree. To remove the U.S. from many treaties and trade in the world is asking for trouble. He appears to be an isolationist to me. I can't agree with a man who believes government is totally evil. That is how it appears. The money he raised is for the fact that he is an underdog and not just for his views. For those that support Ron Paul, I am happy that you are looking forward to VOTING.

Even Saddam Hussein had better photos of him on CNN. Come on! Changes will be painful and this just shows CNN, a big corporation is afraid of change even if the change will make us all more proud as Americans. But thanks for publishing my first comment!

"Reported" versus "Actual". Ron Paul's campaign will do/say anything to try to drum up notice. The guy is a kook who thinks the pentagon was blown up on 9/11 by a government missile because there was no wreckage from an airliner found. Posted By Ray, Rochester : November 6, 2007 3:16 pm ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but Ray,,, they (bushies) didn't find any airplane parts. none. not even the kind that don't burn. could it be Ron is not a kook but Ray is intentionally ignorant? or did you find some airplane parts and can show anyone? I am voting for Ron Paul, because there were no airplane parts, and we don't build the kind of building that can be knocked down with a silly lil airplane, let alone 2 of'em.
