We have so much support for Ron Paul out here and, as seen by all these comments, all over this great land!

There will be a train leaving Iowa Nov 4th called The Revolution, and it will be roaring into New Hampshire!

Ron Paul 2008 Hope for America!

Dr. Paul believes in a sound monetary system backed by gold and silver. Does Article 1, section 8, of the constitution ring any bells? Congress acted in treasonous ways to adopt a Federal Reserve Act, which had absolutely nothing to do with the U.S. government. This idea that a Federal Reserve Accounting Unit Device(FRAUD) is intrinsically not worth any more than a $100 monopoly dollar bill is by far the biggest scam I've ever witnessed in my life. My 11 year old son can figure that out.

The Rockefeller family has great control over the National Education Association. The Rockefeller family has been a driving force behind the questionable content of millions of public school textbooks through Grolier Book Company. I can honestly say that I was greatly brainwashed by the moneychangers earlier in my life.
Is the NEA really doing much to prepare children educationally other than instilling New World Order ideas?

Tax-exempt foundation fiat money has, and continues, to fuel the agenda of the CFR, UN, and the big corporations. Mitt Romney, the slick-talking CFR member, doen't care about the American people. Romney will "put a band-aid" on our national problem of an unsound monetary system, diving the US into deeper debt. Romney hasn't answered the questions directly. I can speak for most of the Ron Paul supporters that none of the candidates can be trusted. That's why Ron Paul has raised nearly $20 million from common hard-working Americans. Our founding fathers would applaud these supporters today.

I do believe there are a lot of us Republicans and former Republicans out here totally disgusted with the betrayal of the neocons running the Republican's at present, with their out-of-control spending of tax dollars, they've basically turned into
what they hate the most: Hillary.

I am a former Republican, now Libertarian. The Republicans left me, I did not leave them. I can honestly say that if Ron Paul is not the Republican nominee, I'll be voting Libertarian next November. I can't see any good, any difference, between Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, or Huckabee. No more voting for the "lesser of two evils".

"Give me Liberty, or give me death!"

Patrick Henry

I am not sure which is more problematic, either neo-con and their idea of forcing democracy on others or a regular conservative that could easily pass into minimal government that can't protect the citizenry after disaters – let the free market do it.

The "Ron Paul Revolution" is real and growing because there are many thinking Americans from all walks of life that don’t make our decisions from sound bites and/or three paragraphs news reports. We are tired of our lives and our incomes being viewed as a resource to be exploited for the benefit of military-industrial complex and the big-pharma and big-medical conglomerates (among others). Ron Paul offers us hope. He is the only candidate that I have seen in my 30+ years of voting that really supports what the framers of the constitution intended for this country…strong state government where most of the necessary governmental management gets done…and a federal government that stays out of our daily lives and provides for the common defense in a non-interventionist manner. Non-intervention is MUCH DIFFERENT than isolationism.

Look, I hope this guy can answer all of my questions, but, I doubt it.

The reason why so many people are annoyed at the Ron Paul supporters is because YOU ARE ANNOYING!!!

You must have all taken a class in what to say.

"Ron Paul is a real American with real answers"

What answers? None of you ever address his positions.

"Wooo Hooo Ron Paul"

That does nothing!

His thoughts on how the government should be run are based off of Federalist(Republican) principles. . . . weak federal government, strong state government. The same thoughts Thompson has. Nothing new here.

What is new is his thoughts on doing away with medicaid and medicare. As a result, every poor person and every old person will not vote for Ron Paul.

He wants to do away with the CIA, and hand over Intelligence responsibilities to the State.

How is the State of Rhode Island supposed to gather intelligence in order to prevent terrorist attacks?

DOE, gone. Hoemland Security, adios. And on and on!

I will watch Meet the Press, and I look forward to it. But I do not thing he can explain all of his crazy ideas.

Voting for the US President affects all of us around the world and this is the reason why it's important to hear our views too, albeit we can't vote.

As a foreigner, I can tell you that what Dr. Paul says about US foreign policy is 100% correct. It's like in that film "Serenity" by Joss Whedon where a teacher says "So with so many social and medical advancements we can bring to the Independents why would they fight so hard against us?" and the young student replies "We meddle. People don't like to be meddled with.
We tell them what to do, what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right."

The war in Iraq is about a number of issues but most importantly the petro-dollar (for more information, please see the film "Iraq for Sale"). The US is currently digging a hole for itself by printing money based on hard currency that doesn't exist and this only serves to empower other nations. Eventually, diplomatic incidents will force your foreign lenders to stop giving you money and should that coincide with some or all OPEC nations choosing to deal in non-US dollar currencies, your nation's economy will go down the drain. In fact, the US will be in the same position as Japan prior to Pearl Harbor and you will have no other option that to attack those nations who are suffocating you.

Although I presented a worst case scenario, for the sake of sanity I strongly urge US voters to support Dr. Ron Paul.

Hillary's change is a joke.

Obama's change is a good try, but far from the real change we are about to see.

People spoke with their credit card charges in small amounts.
Oh America the Beautiful!

Has the war gone well? Not exactly. Is the deficit in bad shape? Yes. Should we elect a libertarian medical doctor as president? No.

Instead of wasting your time bashing me and trying to act more "Republican" than I am, why not research the serious candidates? I like Mitt Romney. The man has a very strong economic background and a good sense about him. I could care less when he became pro-life. I could care less if he is a mormon. He is the best qualified candidate and the man can fix the economy. Paul can't.

My rhetoric obviously struck a nerve and if I offended any of you, I apologize. I am just tired of hearing about a fictional revolution. Paul's campaign is being fueled by bloggers and people online. The part about his supporters living in their parent's basements was a generalization I should not have made.

And I am certainly no ignorant bumpkin. I have a B.A. in Political Science and I am currently a law student. I'm not saying that to brag but rather to refute your claims that I must be uneducated.

"Did you hear about this guy, Jesus?"

"Yeah, the real stunner is that his core group of supporters consist of anti-government people living in their parent's basements can come up with a few bucks to donate to start a what they call a 'church.'"

"Yeah, well Jesus is not wanted in Rome by anyone outside of a small radical sect. Even if they build their church, which has no chance of happening, most Romans would have no interest in joining it."

And, of course, as we all know, December 25th is just another workday, Rome still is ruled by Caesar, and Christianity died out shortly thereafter.

The Revolution has begun!

Although not a huge group, Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate you hear and see here. All across Pensacola and I-10 are signs, both commerical and home made. We even have about 5 billboards in place.

The old saying is true, first they laugh, then they ignore, then you win.

We've WAY past the laughing stage and are almost complete with the ignoring state.

Pensacola LOVES Ron Paul.

End Patriot Acts and insane neo-mcarthyist domestic spying.

End spending overseas.

Phase out worthless federal departments that have to justify their purpose to exist (that means you, FEMA, and DOE).

Reform illegal immigration

CLEAN UP OUR COUNTRY! Ron Paul 2008.

Vote Ron Paul!

For the record: I am a white collar professional, home owner, Independent voter. Your comment on Ron Paul supporters being "anti-government" is so far off-base. Ron Paul's stance is for "small government", as in allowing us citizens to exercise our rights and freedoms as we see fit.

Ron Paul is the only one who wants to do right by America.

And, finally, Ron Paul's supporters do not live in parents' basements. We're everywhere, of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all socio-economic statuses.

The truth of the matter is that Ron Paul has been receiving support from people of varied political perspectives. I personally have voted across party lines at the local and national level. Robert's comment represents what is wrong with the current political dialogue in this country on both sides of the aisle. Opinions are reduced to catchy sound bites without much thought or substance.

I welcome any candidate that would like to participate in a discussion on the true issues that face this nation because if you do not understand that the reason he is receiving such support is due to the fact that this country is at a crossroad, for a number of reasons outside of the typical anti-government rationales, then you should just continue watching The O’Reilly Factor and bury your head in the sand.

Signed,

Not drinking the Kool-Aid

I live in Pensacola now but once lived in the Detroit and the main difference is Pensacola is isolated.

The Detroit area has a large middle eastern population and perspective.

Dr. Paul is owning up to what America has been doing where as all the rest of the "Candidates" and there followers are just interested in owning.

Owning you, Owning your life, Owning your family,
and especially Owning other Countries.

Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you should use it unjustly.

Stop complaining about the Tourists, Alabamians, and READ HISTORY A BOOK.

Ron Paul is the first man running for president I can say I personally support in 40 years. He strictly adheres to the Constitution. You know, the document this country was founded on. The document each of us swore to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, if you ever served.

Ron is the only true conservative on the ticket, the only person the moneyed elite truly fear, and the only Republican that can defeat ANY Democrat.
