Hi Folks,

I have a different view about Phil's rantings…. We should thank him for his comments. Why? Because it's people like Phil that put a fire under our butts and cause us to to get more active in the political arena. Ron Paul can still win the Presidency….. HE CAN STILL WIN!!!! If we take all of the collective frustration that we feel when someone like Phil comes along, and channel it toward supporting Ron Paul in whatever way we can, HE WILL WIN… hands down. Folks, the sad truth is that when it comes to politics, people can say they "support" a candidate, but when the "rubber meets the road", few do much to actively support their candidate (pass out information, go to rallys, etc.). Most meetup groups that have large memberships don't have a large body count at political functions. This is sad. We CANNOT stand on the sidelines this time around and just VOTE for Dr. Paul… we need to turn off the tube (which doesn't represent Dr. Paul fairly anyway) and tell our frends,.families, and communitites about Dr. Paul. It's amazing how many people still don't even know who Ron Paul is… So, thanks Phil…. keep up the good work. You make me want to vote for and support Ron Paul all the more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Linda - I apologize for not mentioning his book. I was trying to get someone to tell me what he has accomplished because of his opinions. I know all about the things he says, but what has he DONE as a politician?

I realize that his words have not changed in all this time (30 years), however, I have not seen him in action. I figured that a dedicated supporter would be able to tell me how he has benefited the 14th District of Texas as our congressman for the last 30 years.

He is saying what people want to hear and if really could accomplish his "beliefs" in 4 or 8 years as President, who wouldn't want to vote him in.

This is the way the whole thing works - we "hire" someone to represent us because of their "resume", and because of their ideas. We listen to what they say they can do, check their references and then (if we think they are the right fit for the job) we "hire" them. Now comes the test.

So I am repeating myself, I know, but what has he DONE in the last thirty years?
Writing books and newsletters and talking the talk to anyone who will listen are not the kind of action verbs that I think qualifies someone to be the President of my country.

Duncan Hunter actually BUILT a fence in San Diego that reduced that area's crime rate by about 75% because it stopped the illegal criminals and drug pushers from coming in. He WROTE the bill that was SIGNED by President Bush in 2006 to have an additional 800+ miles of double fence built on the border of AZ, TX and so on. That's just a (small?) example of the ACTIONS of Duncan Hunter. Now because he even got less media coverage than Dr. Paul, he had to drop out.
One of his promises in his campaign speech was that he would finish the 800+ miles of double fence in 6 months if elected President. Did I believe him? Of course I did. Why? Because he had already ACCOMPLISHED this in his area of influence (his own district). If he had not done so, my reaction would have been; "Yeah, yeah, heard it all before, great speech".

I can't make this any clearer or more logical. Of course, we (you) the people can elect Ron Paul as president. But, I want to see proof of what he can do first.

I can point out something every other candidate has ACCOMPLISHED in their limited scope of influence, except for Dr. Paul.

Help me broaden my "education" by pointing out something other than his ideas. I think that I have a pretty good grasp of those (and I like them). Blind support of anyone is dangerous for this country, especially now. This will probably be the most important election is a very long time. I have serious doubts that Dr. Paul can even touch the surface of making the change we need because (here I go again), I haven't seen him in ACTION. And he has had plenty of time to go in the direction of accomplishment towards even the least of his statements (fiscal responsibility would be a good place to start).

Who's up to the challenge to prove me wrong? Kind of hard when you run on emotion (or blind faith) instead of logical decision making, don't you think?
It's the impression I get when listening to another candidate who reminds me of a snake-oil salesman. I'm not buying it, that's for sure. And I hope that the majority of voting americans are smart enough to see through all the charades and BS.

I would just love it if a Ron Paul supporter would actually challenge him by asking him what he has done in his district (towards his beliefs) in the last 30 years. I would love to hear his reply. A lot of people would because they believe in his message. Well, that's enough because I have to go to work so that I can pay my ever increasing property taxes. And on my way, I get to see many street corners just filled with illegals looking for work. There are some streets I just pray that I don't have to stop for a red light. These are the issues that concern me. Taxes, crime,protecting our borders, and preserving our language and culture.

Remember Ron Paul supporters, the only way he will get nominated is if each one of you walk your own talk and become delegates in your precincts!

RP is doing, and passionately 'saying' just about everything we could possibly dream of saying every chance he gets. He speaks the truth because he is original, authentic and is an awesome economic scholar!

No body writes his speeches except him. Nobody! That's why when he does speak, it makes so much sense. All the other candidates, with the exception of the milque-toast, Kucinich, are scripted actors without speaking from their hearts. They are spokespeople for those who back them and are nothing short of traitors because their allegiance is not to the American people!

We each need to take personal responsibility to show up at caucus, come forward, and speak about this man who is the only candidate worth voting for! Just speak from your hearts and you just might win hearts! If you need guidance on this check out your local Ron Paul HQ.

Exercise your your 'freedom of speech' and convince your neighbors what a 'rare' opportunity we each have that at this very timing. Do you each realize that we could actually, if we vote on it, position this rare Constitutionalist where he belongs: at the 'national' level for September here in St. Paul, Minnesota!

Ron Paul never makes promises. He doesn't need to. He does better than that. He 'guarantees' what he is saying, because the Constitution is our inheritance from the founding fathers!

It 'guarantees' our individual sovereignty, protection of our property, right to defend ourselves, and because we each are 'created equal' by God, this document allows each individual to live out their own destiny as part of God's plan on earth. No one has the right to interfere with this profound template. It was meant to be the template for humans to live in peace and harmony with each other.

These past seven years we have watched with grave concern as law after law signed by Bush has been chiseling away at this document to the point now we are in effect, a police state.

One has to ask the question, who benefits? Who benefits when Americans no longer have any rights to speak of? Think about it.

Well, imagine how 'vulnerable' each of us are at this very moment. If pissed off countries around the globe wanted to invade us right now, just who would be here to 'defend' us? No one.

All our soldiers are drained and exploited being 'security guards' in Iraq and Afghanistan, while Halliburton, Bechtel, Dyncorp etc and a host of oil interests are busy embedding themselves like the parasites they are. Who are defending our borders at home? No one.

Look who is printing all the 'pretend' money without even reporting the M3 since 2006! These bankers have had carte blanche since 1913! Nothing but parasites. Well, look out because the 'insecticide' is coming once and for all! This insecticide is going to rid our country of all the vermin and traitors who betrayed their oath to office. Ron Paul aims to revoke all these agencies based on their Unconstitutional illegalities.

The 'Times are a changin'………more personal responsibility, accountability, and freedom from slavery!

"I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Rose from Texas: This statement, "Sadly, Ron Paul has not voiced any opinion about anything until he decided to run for President (except of course in his newsletters). " is an uneducated statement. Ron Paul has been writing books for 30 years about his beliefs which have not altered. " Freedom Under Seige" is the exact message he is bring to the country NOW and was released in 1987. I think a man in Ron Paul's stage of life has only one intention and that is to educate the country…warn us….and try to help us…at this point it certainly isn't for ego or gain.

If you take the time to educate yourself about the man , his life and his message - you will have nothing but respect for him.

I made a promise to myself that I will never, ever again vote for the "lesser of two evils". If we keep voting that we we will certainly always elect "evil". By evil - I mean people with their own interest before the people's. I truly think that people are fed up with the current politicians…and regardless of what the media say, WE THE PEOPLE CAN ELECT RON PAUL AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 2008!

Brody - thank you for being polite and respectful.

I agree that being a congressman in my district is not a big deal. But his voting record in regards to the issues we face can not be blown off. We have other congressmen who are very disgusted with our Texas legislature and you can believe we hear from them a lot.

Sadly, Ron Paul has not voiced any opinion about anything until he decided to run for President (except of course in his newsletters). Surely, one would think that if he was such a staunch supporter on the issues he now talks about, his own constituents would have heard from him sometime in the last 30 years. That just doesn't make sense.

The spending bills that have his name on them seem to me to be just another politician catering to his cronies. We have a large surplus in our state budget right now and we have 2 or 3 congressmen fighting like crazy to get our property tax reduced and give some of that surplus back to us. Ron Paul is not one of them. Can you agree with me that in order to believe someone, they have to do something to prove that they are telling the truth? It may seem like a small, trivial issue, but to those who are counting on our elected officials to do the job we HIRED them to do, it's a big deal.

Like I said, politicians should be reminding us about what they have already done for the people who voted for them, not just what they will do if only we would elect them again, and especially if we elect them to be the President.

A lot of you keep saying that Dr. Paul is the only candidate who tells the truth. How do you know he is telling the truth? Just because he sounds more sincere, doesn't necessarily make him more honest, does it? Can anyone tell me what Dr. Paul has said that he would do for (we the people) that has actually come to pass? Remember, he has been an elected official for 30 years.

Someone, please find something that he promised the voters he would do (in any campaign speech) that he has actually accomplished.

Ron Paul is the only hope for America- Freedom, Sound money! so just remember, when our economy keeps on going- down hill, if you didn't contribute to his (our) campaign, because you didn't read his positions on Ron Paul dot com, remember the economy is a result of your actions (of lack of).God Bless America!

Phil–please study the facts before you shoot off your mouth. You are making our city look bad. The only one who has been bigoted in this election is the mainstream press. Hats off to CNN for finally giving Dr. Paul the coverage he deserves. Too bad you're not smart enough to look beyond the press, Phil. Go back to selling tickets at Graceland.

I would like to say that we as a country have more to fear from economic ruin than terrorists. The current politicians want to keep us focused on the "fear of terrorists" so we don't see the true reality of what is happening financially in our country. The reason Ron Paul is gaining momuntum is because we can each personally "feel" the financial pressures in our own wallets. We all need to remember that the Clinton Administration changed the way inflation is calculated…they took out gas and they took out groceries…two things that every American needs. So if you're all wondering why even though you got a raise last year you feel like you have less money….you're right…you have less money! I've read the books Ron Paul has written - very interesting and I haven't read anything so intelligent in years.

Ron Paul is not a bigot. The government is the bigot. The mainstream media is the bigot.. Even the newsletters that were not written by Paul have to be taken in context. People forget the right wing times following Waco and the whole Oklahoma thing. The government went after religious fundamentalist with blow back. Now the sad thing is you can go after Kenneth Lay but not Franklin Raines or Martha Stuart without being a sexist or racist. I mean Clinton, and Obama have a serious lack of skills both practical and people skills but if I say that I am what? If you remind people of McCain's involvement in the S&L crisis with Bushes or Huckabee's Baptist-fascist belief and anti catholic, anti Mormon or non televangelists believers im a (fill in the name). it is scary race. You can do what you want but I am going to vote Ron Paul if I have to write it with a laser in a vchip. The most racist thing against humanity is war, war in Iraq, War on drugs, War against privacy and War against just leaving people alone. Billions of dollars wasted on overseas bases, prison guards, lawyers court cost for chemical dependent people. It really does not matter who you vote for the economics will rule the day. Paul at least lets you do it with dignity.

Poor Phil Memphis, TN: The more you cackle the more people google Ron Paul, and the more support he gets. It's called blow back, look it up. How you can call Ron Paul a racist when he is the only candidate running that will PARDON and RELEASE ALL the blacks that have been rail roaded into jail disproportionately: that have harmed NO ONE. Once people find out the fact that cutting the overseas war spending is way more than enough money to fund our retirements and feed every poor person and treat every sick person in America, AND END THE INCOME TAX, and that simply releasing so called "drug offenders" from jail solves our need for foreign (undocumented?) workers. Well Phil, you better get ready to get alot more angry, cause the LOVE Revolution is coming, and you angry haters can't stop freedom and liberty, the COnstitution and RON PAUL! Cant stop em! The more you try, the bigger he gets. WHOO HOO! Happy Love Revolution! Love Dr. Ron Paul!

Rose my dear,

I understand that you are a Texan and believe that you have a special perspective but the fact is that Dr. Paul never backs down from his promises or ideas. He never conforms to what the rest of the Congress is pushing him to do. Its true that a lot of what he talks of never makes it to the street, but that is because he is often the only one that supports the ideas like that of smaller or no fed reserve and sound money. He always backs these ideas with real information and soon as the next ressesion hits this country people will be wondering how we got this way.

As president he will have the power to influence in a way he didnt as a minority congressman. These ideas that can help push our country to a more stable economy will not just be heard on c-span anymore. They would actually reach the public and might..just might bring some of that change everyone is talking about.

Did I say that I supported McCain? Did I say that we should "bomb" the mid East? For goodness sake, my main comment was that I was looking for a President that has INTEGRITY and a person who would address the issues that were important to me. For that reason I would never vote for McCain nor Giuiiani. I am still researching the others. The examples I used are so small (and maybe trivial) compared to the responsibilities of the President, and I used them to point out my concerns about Dr. Paul. Those who can not be faithful with the small things, will certainly struggle with the really big things. If someone votes "NO" in the Texas legislature to end our "sanctuary" city policy thereby stopping the illegal "invasion", how can he be trusted to protect our country from being invaded, should that ever happen.

For the person who said that it must have taken me hours to write my post, I am an intelligent person who can think and write at the same time!

I was also taught how to be respectful even if I didn't agree with someone. This is the main problem that I have with some Dr. Paul supporters. Too many of you don't know how to have an honest debate. If someone doesn't agree with you, you attack their character and resort to stupid name calling. Do you think that helps your position? Maybe on the school yard, but not in the real world of adults.

I see no one has addressed my comments on his RECORD as my CONGRESSMAN. Why is that? Maybe because you have no clue on his political record? If you knew some people from my district in Texas (before this race) and asked them who is Ron Paul. I am sure you would have received the same answer as I had when I first heard his name. Ron who?

As far as people who don't live in the US and are Ron Paul supporters - just like I have no idea what living in your country is like, I would have to say (unless you live here) reading about our country, or hearing it on the news is not always the same. All countries use propaganda to "control" its citizens, including the US.

I will say that I can agree with his "ideas". Who would not want Utopia? No war, no IRS, secure borders, less government, lots of health and prosperity. Pretty tall order for one man to accomplish in 4 or 8 years, don't you think?

Too bad he hasn't done any of that as a congressman in Texas in the last 30 years! Maybe he needs more time, I shouldn't be hasty, right?

He talks, but where is the action? I would have seriously considered him a viable option if he was a man with some INTEGRITY and some documented success as a politician. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what americans want from their government and its leaders. So all of these candidates that are still running know what to say (including him). I don't trust ANY of them to follow through, including Dr. Ron Paul.

And that, my friends, is the sad state of affairs we are left to deal with.

Duncan Hunter was my only consideration for this election and because he got NO media coverage, he was unable to gain any traction. He has stood on his principals (with corresponding action) in San Diego for 30+ years. Never flip-flopping. Now if Ron Paul announced that he would choose Duncan Hunter as a running mate, I would vote for Dr. Paul. Then I would feel like Duncan would be able to teach Ron how to have some INTEGRITY and how to follow through with his promises.

One lying TV chanel was just reporting on the 4 remaining Republicanscandidates Huh? I thought there were still 5 running. I'll give you 1 guess who was excluded. The guy who has come in ahead of Giuliani in the 3 primaries. Ron Paul.

One lying TV channel was just reporting on the 4 remaining Republican candidates. Huh? I thought there were still 5 running. I'll give you 1 guess who was excluded. The guy who has come in ahead of Giuliani in the past 3 primaries. Ron Paul!

This is one of the few positive reports done on Ron Paul and for that CNN, I thank you.

I'm not voting least evil this time, I'm voting whats right. I'm voting Ron Paul!

@ Rose -

Stop nitpicking with things that are so minuscule compared to the bigger issues. If you honestly believe or can't discredit his newsletter racist ramblings as someone else's given his consistency on issues over the last 20 years, that is laughable. Don't you think over those 20 years someone; somewhere caught Dr. Paul with a slip of the tongue?

As for his contribution from a White Supremacist. WHO CARES!? Stop caring about stupid things, the country is filled with people like yourself who can't distinguish importance from trivial. He doesn't support their way of thinking, that's all you need to know. The racist in question on his website even explained why he sent him $500 and made reference that he KNOWS Dr. Paul isn't a racist.

As for Israel, use some common sense, it'd do you some good. Who in their right mind in that region would attack Israel? That's right, no one would. Israel has from what Dr. Paul has said ~300 nukes. He is being anti-semitic somehow because he wants Israel to have their sovereignty back? It's the same thing with North Korea and South Korea. Why in the heck are we still in South Korea when they have 20 times the economy of North Korea. No one in their right mind will declare war on Israel. Terrorist attacks will happen, but hey guess what they happen with us even backing Israel and chances are they would cut down onces we cut our ties somewhat.

Look around Rose, why is it you see people from other Nations supporting Dr. Paul. We even have a few people from Britain in here to speak on the matter. We don't see this from the other candidates.

Do you think, that maybe just maybe our HUGE foreign policy causes more problems than antidotes?? Could beeeeeeeee.

To Rose Henlow, you don't seriously believe that Ron Paul puts the USA in more danger than a psycopath like McCain do? If you do you obviously haven't got the intelligence you were born with. Wake up!!!

Do you honestly believe that bombing the mid east for the foreseeable future will make Americans (and the west in general) safer? Do you understand what will happen when the Neo-Cons get their chance to bomb Iran? They will be laying down the stage for NEVER ENDING war and chaos throughout the world that will indubitably lead to an apocalyptic scenario. Unless America wakes up en-masse there will be no America to wake up to!!!

There is considerable talk that the Mormon church announced to the Mormon people to turn out in Nevada and vote for Mitt Romney. Should this be true, there is serious problems with separation of church and State. This needs investigation.

I'm not from the usa and if you are not one, you tend to have a dimmed view of usaian as a whole, simply because they must be idiots to vote for bush twice. But reading of Ron Paul and what the man stands for, I think usa can regain it's lost prestige and hopefully honour, He is the ONLY moral man standing. For God's sake, do vote the man in. Only then can the world sleeps in Peace.

After watching news' coverage of the Saturday caucuses and primary, I found it very astonishing and disappointing to see that candidates that did very badly in all the previous primaries and caucuses (e.g. Giuliani, Thompson) were getting so much more attention by the journalists than someone who actually obtained a second place in Nevada! Is there a problem with this? I am not a ron paul supporter, neither any other's, just an observer. It seems that, so far, more people actually voted for ron paul than for these other candidates…. Unfortunately the media is not as interested as the people! Is this a question of ratings? Maybe some other underlying reasons? Seriously is the press independant?

Well Dr. Paul's fears came true. We did run out of ballots, and, many people, including me, were giving the wrong location to cast my vote. On top of that, we were not told how long the voting would go on. In Henderson, NV, the voting was open for merely two hours, 10am to noon. By the time someone was able to tell me I was in the wrong location, it was too late to cast a vote in the caucus. This is completely pathetic and discraceful.
I truly see no hope for America if this is how our politics will be manipulted—I mean conducted.
Good luck to us all.
Ryan

I am a fervent supporter of NAMBLA

I am never surprised when Ron Paul does well. The only thing that surprises me is that he hasn't done better sooner, like 20 years ago sooner in 1988. The Constitution is as valid an argument for freedom, a sound economy and foreign policy as it was 219 years ago.. when it was ratified.

Dennis Kucinich and ROn Paul, the ONLY 2 truthful and honest candidates. Thankfully for the Paul camp, they earned enough money to allow them to break through the silence machine. Sadly for the Kucinich people, even his own party has taken his ideas and worked hard to destroy him, even though he's the only one with any courage within the party.

Congratulations to the Paul camp! I hope this signals an increase in success for you guys…!!!

Phil Memphis, TN

Thompson, Guiliani, Romney, Mcain have all made bigoted, racist, and Ignorant remarks towards Middle easterns / Muslims on TV many times, Huckabee makes racist remarks against anyone who isn't white, but you call out Paul for a RUMOR that he made a racist remark?

If it wasn't for Paul then the republican party would be the KKK without their hoods on, but of course we don't know what they actually do at night.

Some people just dont get it. Ron Paul's message and platform is one that intelligent Americans actually can get excited about. The reason is that he is not beholden to the multinational oligarchs that are currently running the Republicrat party. Two Party rule, indeed. It is time that the US had someone running for president that understands economics, public health, world politics, history, US politics and the has a vision for the future. He is not diluting his ideas to pander to the infantile US media.

Dr. Paul's ideas need to be heard throughout the land and his policies need to be incorporated into the platform of the presidential campaign. His message is finally being listened to loud and clear because the truth will always resonate. Dr. Paul candor allows him to function without any need for spin doctors, media manipulators, political hacks and public relation goons. He will continue to receive my vote and my money because hope is in very short supply this campaign season.

"I, Ron Paul, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God. Amen"

Now isn't that a sweet sound bite for the CNN and MSM?

Ron Paul the only America First Candidate!

It's not hard to figure out why a diehard socialist would spend literally hours here trying to smear Paul's name. It's kind of pathetic… but not surprising.

The discussions about Ron Paul are interesting to read however, it seems like most contributors do not really want to discuss Dr. Paul's record.

He has been an US Congressman for the 14th District of TX for the years of: 1976-1977; 1979-1985; 1997 to Now. That happens to be my district and I have to be honest about this, I was not even aware of any of his policies until he decided to run for President in this election. So, I thought that I should do some checking on him.

Racism: It is foolish to debate whether or not the man is a bigot. Who can know what he thinks except by his actions. Concerning his newsletters, he has denied writing any of them that promotes bigotry. That's fair, but I have not been able to find any of his newsletter's denouncing the ones written by someone other than himself. Only now that he is being questioned about it, does he offer that explanation.
Another problem that I have with him on this issue is that he has accepted contributions from racist groups and when asked about it, he stated that he didn't care where the money came from. He is also being endorsed by some Neo-Nazi and white supremacy groups. For me, that is an INTEGRITY issue more than anything else. I would not want a President that could be so easily bought. The contribution he accepted from a leading supremacist was only $500. When asked if he would give it back (which would have been wise for him to do), he refused. Keep in mind that these groups hate Jews too, and Dr. Paul's comments on whether or not we should continue to help and protect Israel, (he says no, that they can take care of themselves) is probably the main reason he has their support.

War on Terror: I agree with his wanting to bring our troops home and the failure of this administration to have a good exit strategy in Iraq. And we should bring our troops home from the countries who really do not need us to help them any longer. However, his views on what would happen to the US if we pulled out (and stayed out of the world's problems), is naive at the very least. I happen to have personal experience with the radical Islam view of our country. Just so everyone knows, we are hated. Why? Mainly because we support Israel and also because our country (in their opinion) is decadent. They hate any freedom of choice and only accept theocracy (radical islamic) as a viable government. How will Dr. Paul change that by just "minding our own" business? Look, I don't have the answer and I doubt any politician can guarantee our safety, but we can't be ignorant either. These extremists have a plan to conquer the world and they mean to carry out that plan regardless of what we do. So in this regard, I fear that Dr. Paul could put us in more danger with this mindset.

Taxes: Now this is where it really got interesting on my search. In all the years he has served in the 14th District of TX there isn't any bill (that I could find) that he sponsored to lower our taxes. On the contrary, his name is on multiple bills for earmarks that have raised our taxes. He even piled on earmarks to a recent bill that he knew was going to pass and then voted against it so he could go on record as voting no. This is another INTEGRITY issue for me.

I could go on - such as his current proposal to fight illegal immigration if he were to be elected our President - yet he has not proposed one piece of legislation to fight this problem as our congressman. And we have a big problem in Houston and Dallas. We do have a few Texas congressmen who are trying to fight this enormous problem, but sadly, he isn't one of them. I don't have much faith that this is really an issue for him.

Here is a sad reality for Dr. Paul. He is coming up for re election in the district and I doubt that he will win now that we all are aware of what he says his policies would be as President compared to what they have been as our representative. Before this campaign, he was pretty much a non participant and obscure.

Too bad Duncan Hunter never really had a chance (now this is a man of INTEGRITY) - but he did bring up some very important issues that has caused some of the candidates to take heed to what Americans expect from their President and the government. Ron Paul has done the same thing, and that's a good thing. I just can not vote for him based on the issues I have discussed, which is mainly because of his poor record as my congressman.

My suggestion is to research your chosen candidate's record of accomplishment in regards to the issues you think are important for your country.

Like Terry, I too am British, and have given up on the Politrickians over here. We are so intrinsically linked to the US nowadays that I feel like Dr Paul is not only your savior, but ours as well. The Neo-Labour party we have in power are hand in hand with the CFR and are hell bent on creating a Police State. Like your Washington brokers our "leaders" are corrupt, inept and verging on the psychotic. The Conservative and Lib Dem Parties are equally rotten to the core.

I've been following Dr Paul's progress from very early on. I am in touch with people all over the globe who are praying that Dr Paul can bring the majority of Americans out of their MainStream Media induced comas.

One thing is certain - whether the hacks and shills of the MSM accept it or not - is that Dr Paul is bringing together people right across the spectrum. People who are realizing that the Left wing and the Right wing are simply wings on the same bird of prey.

How can anyone listen to McCain and his talk of a 100 year war in Iraq and take him seriously? Do these people not realize that they are signing their own death warrants buy voting for these psycho's???

I hope Ron Paul gets some more media play with his second place win in Nevada. If the majority of the people who watch the news outlets actually got to hear more of Ron Paul's message, he would definitly be pulling in a lot more votes. Hopefully, this happens before Super Tuesday.

Those of you in favor of Ron Paul in states that have not voted in the primaries should start, respectfully, bombarding you local news media organization to give Ron Paul more time and hopefully the larger news agencies would have to let his voice be heard.

Please Ron Paul Supporters help spread the word! It is a very inexpensive way to help him out.

Go Ron! Thanks Nevada!

I don't get it.We need 3 billion dollars a day to keep are credit cards working.We barrow the money from China.We are a charge it country acting like drug addicts.The Democrats are acting like drug dealers with all there promises.We have inslaved are selfs.Ron Paul is the only person that will set us free.

you might as well not argue with people like Phil Memphis they consider themselves to be experts on anything and Ron Paul scares them for one reason.He wants to return the power of this government over to the people to which it belongs as opposed to the other canidates who want that power for themselves.The fact of the matter is freedom means accepting resonsibility and that scares the hell out of Phil and people like him so they'll always find some reason to avoid it even if they have to make that reason up.

vOTE RON PAUL FOR 2008 IT'S THE BEST THING WE CAN DO FOR OUR NATION!!

Go Ron Paul Go.

Racist? What garbage? The only man with principle, and you keep hearing these asinine comments.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It's the Constitution stupid

I am British.

I don't vote in the UK because there is no choice.

I am, however, going to donate on Monday because what happens in your country affects the whole world and..

Dr Ron Paul is the only best hope for us ALL.

Paul is the ONLY candidate who will improve the US, and increase the likelihood of world peace, prosperity and equality.

Excuse me? Name one bigoted thing Ron Paul has said. One. He hasn't said anything of the like. Your attack on his character, Phil, is without merit.

And MCCAIN and Thompson? They want to spend MORE? Now that's conservative. NOT!
That's the way to fix everything right? Through more money at it? Money we have to borrow to pay for government programs(Gurrent US Gov debt Our debt!>> 9 TRILLION$$$)<<<. That get run into the ground because they are not administrated properlly. Or scandals run through them?
Wake Up America. We're being sold out. In all kinds of ways.

Little do the Mormons in Nevada know. That Romney has already sold them out.
Don't worry! You 'll see!
I promise………

Ron Paul 2nd? We'll take it!
No one else talks more about the US constitution and it's forms that We need to adhere to to remain a free country! NONE!
Ron Paul is thee only One. If you donot understand Your own freedoms and libertys? How do you know you are casting the right vote even?
Are You just voting along the lines as You always have done? (YES!)That kind of dumb stuff has gotten Us where?(NOWHERE)

If 20% of the vote is Moron vote is a drubbing, then so be it.

The articles were some one else's words, not Dr. Paul's. It's like saying everything in Forbes is written by S. Forbes. Twisted words to malign Dr. Paul for the gullible and twisted.

PhilMemphisGetalife

You are surely no match for anyone with a rational mind.

Your words make you out to be a commie-loving ignoramus.

we should not pay attention to phil he is part of the neocon crowd that are afraid their party will be over if ron paul is elected. he is a party to the swift boaters of 2000, 2004 and they are back in 2008 to throw the election again.

While we await the morally and legally required (hence no doubt inevitable) investigations of Diebold, LHS, and the CF in New Hampshire and other states, let us hold our collective breath and ponder…

Just how many black, Hispanic, Native American, Jewish, Muslim, Asian, etc. babies do you suppose Dr. Paul helped bring into this world? Or did he cherry-pick only white babies, four thousand of them…no, probably not.

As the raging bigot he's been proven to be, he must be a very conflicted man, helping birth all those dreadful non-white babies. I'll bet his white supremacist buddies won't even give him the secret handshake or clandestine recognition sign anymore.

I, for one, don't get it. His fellow bigots should at least give him credit for keeping his dark secret so well, for even sparing the time to be one of them, between careers in Congress and his medical practice, and writing all those medical, economics, and history books and articles, keeping his marriage together for 50 years, fathering and raising children, doting on his numerous grandchildren, attending black caucuses and befriending high-ranking members of the NAACP. Hell, they should conscript him to write a how-to-manual for other wannabe stealth-bigots!

As a side note, when so renowned and august a personage as Anderson Cooper reads words written by others and fed into a teleprompter for him to read, why, I just fail to understand these crazy Ron Paul supporters. Don't they even watch TV?

Lee — The Federal Reserve's decision to lower interest rates to a criminally low level of 1% for an extended period of time is precisely what led to the predatory and insane lending that has the country at the brink of foreclosure and recession today. The FED is not only A source of the problem, but THE source of the problem. The real question that should be asked is why are YOU opposed to a monetary system that is based on competing currencies thereby allowing the FREE MARKET to dictate interest rates? This is precisely what Ron Paul envisions for the future, and he is dead-on correct.

The Ron Paul supporters (RPS) who throw insults are embarrassing me, a registered democrat that supports Ron Paul (RP). Just stick to the facts; the truth will prevail. When people don't have the facts to back up arguments, they attack RP's reputation (not proven actions of character) and insult the RPS. Why don't they attack his plans for taxes, justice (ending wars, including War On Drugs), property, liberty and privacy? They can't. Why don't attack his repeated salutation of non-white activists (Rosa Parks, MLK, Ghandi, etc.)? They can't.

RP is being smeared for objectively citing demographics and statistics (not opinions). One example: the unfortunately high-percentages of young black males with criminal records. Such statistics are sad facts that we, the people (including RP) who want equal opportunity for ALL people, must persevere to resolve. Listen closely (with an open mind) to his plans, and you will realize his solutions are neutral and reasonable (welfare is holding those people down. think about it). He does NOT say they are criminals BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK! (That would be a racist stereotype, not a fact). He called young black males "fleet-footed". Why not take that as commending their athletic talents? The context of that discussion was spun to make him appear racist. He was merely focussed on those who unfortunately commit crime (not accusing all black males of being thieves). It you call RP's comments racist, then you had a racist bias before even reading them.

sheep, the american public has been dumbed down for so long and told what to believe and how? by watching the T.V. ron paul is a man, not a super hero, but yet when you look at his record you find no bones to hide, nor a rich man, he voted everytime on what he thought was the right way, not because some big corp. had some money and stock for him to swing him their way. most all the people that are running for the office are richer then rich. you think they gave a dang what happens to you or your family? they all get up there and tell you what they know you want to hear CHANGE!!!! and you vote them in or they steal it away and what change do you see? more of your freedom being taken, the bill of rights which at first they were using white out to cover a word here and there and change it, now they are white washing whole pages. change? yes more government in your life, in your pocket, in your home. change? yes less jobs, more taxes, more control. change? yes .90 per gal gas to 3.50. change? yes from your nice home to a cardboard box. ron paul speaks the truth, and he stands by what he says. why do you think the media has laughed and made fun of him from day one? they are scare, the people who run this country and own all those radio and tv stations dont' want change for the good, change for the good means they lose control of you. they have turned you into sheep so much that here's a man who tells you, put me in the white house and I will do away with i.r.s., end all OUR wars, and bring ALL our young men and women home and what happens? you laugh and don't vote for him, why? because that's what you saw them do on t.v. turn it off, and take each one of these people and look at their past, that's the only way you can know for sure who is true and who is just telling you what you want to hear, don't vote for a person based on looks or gender or color, vote for the best person based on their past. please please please you want real change>? you are the people who have that control, right now, with your vote. which person is speaking about real change? getting rid of the i.r.s. and bring our troops home from the whole world sounds to me like a huge change in what we have been doing for years. don't you think ron paul deserves 4 years to prove himself? after all, you gave the one now 8 years and whats that cost us? in money and lives? stop looking at the rear end of the sheep in front of you and try something unheard of, poke your head up and take a look at the meat factory thats just over the next hill, you think you might want to step out of that line? you better hurry because they are building a fence on both side's of that line as I write this so if you do look up you will have no where to run. love and peace be to you all.

"Well, I have to admit it surprises me that a bigoted candidate like Paul…"

Who are these idtions that could possibly even try to pin some random tag like "Bigot" on Ron Paul? Ron Paul wants to run the country the way it was intended by our founders, and as laid out in the constitution. Anybody that has a problem with that has a problem with America and personally, as far as im concerned, are America haters and can get the hell out. We'd be better off without ya.

Hats off to Ron Paul!!!

What an embarssment to McAmnesty. He got spanked literally in his own backyard.

Phil and ofer…I would like to take this time to thank you. Thank you for wasting your time in a blog rather than putting your "incredible" ideas to work in any form of reality. Also, thank you for reminding me why I found it necessary to continue and value my education. The density you showcase is truly surprising. Keep a' bloggin' gents, It keeps your cute, silly minds all boxed up. For all you Paul fans…do not waste time changing these peoples' minds-I make a concession to use that word. Ron Paul is a great human being. But this can only be found out by logical and resourceful minds that do not hold onto a falsehood until death.

-blogging is hard on the ticker because it kills me to know I just wasted a few minutes talking to an organism that sits somewhere between a tree and a cow on the curb of intelligence.

Bill in St. Louis:

What I said is that for Ron Paul or Ralph Nadar etc. to make compromises with others who don't share the exact same views on every major issue would be "selling out", not that running as a third party candidate is selling out. Running as a "third party" candidate is a sign of someone who really wishes he could be dictator of America because he wants it his way or no way at all.

In reality, the "two" parties are a compilation of numerous groups that have come together to support each other's positions. The Democrats have labor unions, abortion rights activists, gay rights activists, civil rights, environmentalists, etc. The Republicans have veterans groups, gun owners, pro-life, business interests, certain religious groups, etc. None of those groups are really very much alike, but they support each other to get what they are trying for. If you feel your party is controlled by others too much, maybe it is because your group within the party is too small to really contribute, so the rest don't listen to your ideas as much. Or the problem could be that most others within the party flat out disagree with your stands, like Ron Paul being the only Republican to call for immediate withdrawl from Iraq, or his ideas on scraping the Federal Reserve Bank System.

Yeah Ron Paul! The only candidate running that wants to restore Constitutional Government. Remember the US Constitution? When is the last time you read it?

Go Ron…

What school did the media hacks attend? They obviously can't pronounce RON PAUL. By the way ,we are pleased with 2nd place because it wasn't predicted or desired by the gop or the mum on RP media.

The alleged racism charges have already been debunked. They were stories planted by the GOP political based because they were afraid that Ron Paul was gaining too much attention and would pull voters and contributions away from the Neocons ruling the GOP.

If you want to save America, vote Ron Paul and get our military out of those 48 countries where they are based. They need to be on our borders protecting us from a real invasion. Good neighbors don't tresspass.

Way to go Dr. No! Please make a stop in Northwest Florida before the primary. You have a lot of support down here amongst all voters!!!!

Dr Paul is the only man that can pull the USA from the brink of disaster. Phil…do your homework and put your brain (?) in gear before you type!

Ron Paul = Freedom and a stronger America

Romney=CFR and big business
McCain=War mongering, mass murder and government sponsored terrorism
Huckabee=Fake Christian and CFR
Ghouliani=More government sponsered terrorism
Thompson=CFR and war mongering

Vote Ron Paul if you want your freedoms and the Constitution to remain intact!

Phil (Memphis) is trying to plant a seed of doubt into people's minds. Why would anyone come to this page and post so many passionately negative messages about Ron Paul.

Surely if Phil doesn't agree with RP, he can find somewhere better to spend his time.

I`m British, living in Britain. if I was a US citizen, I would vote Ron Paul, and only Ron Paul.

With such a huge illegal alien population in Nevada, how many misused our Democratic process? Without needing any proof of citizenship and the fact that the culinary union and the entertainment industry is dinquished by a massive need to sign on new union members. There is no doubt in my mind the law was violated because once you break one law, to tresspass in our country, no judicial form called Declaration of citizenship executed, will stop foreign nationals.

Ron Paul is the personification of truthfulness:

The continuous onslaught of derogatory and misleading statements of posters that criticize Dr. Ron Paul have to be paid shills. They never give a reasonable opinion, they only criticize and call names.

Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment.

YA SAY YA WANT A REVOLUTION?!?!?!?

Dr. Ron Paul just keeps getting more support by the day! He is the only republican that can win against the dems. Ron Paul 2008!!

Ron Paul is the only person worth voting for. If he does not win the presidency I am going to continue to be afraid for mine and my daughters future in this country. It's ironic that Ron Paul get's no coverage from the mainstream media unless it's something slamming him in regards to bigoted hateful newsletters he didn't even write. I feel sorry for anyone who can't see the blatent truth of what's really going on here in regards to slam Dr. Pauls name.

Ron Paul, the perfect protest vote!

Everyone else is simply a clone of GWB.

Ron Paul is the first canidate in a long time to get me excited about an election. We need more constution defending people in office. I think he would bring real change.

Congratulations Ron Paul canvassers in Nevada!!! This is indeed the year of the Patriot!

For those of you who cannot see beyond your own false perception of truth, in regards to racism, who had a confederate flag hung proudly in his dorm room???
Who stood by and did nothing when New Orleans went under…oh wait, he did "pay a visit" to the mayor after a lot of kicking and screaming about how the feds were "neglecting" the situation……after that visit the mayor got awfully quiet, didn't he….hmmmmmmmm who's the racist?????

@ Jason

Of all the canidates Ron Paul can walk the walk and talk the talk and the others…Just walk the walk.

Actually I think the other candidates just talk the walk.

Philly boy, not an opinion, it's a fact that Ron is not a racist. Sorry you have not had the chance to know him because if you had you would not be able to deny his character. It is just a shame that some people speak from more orifices than their mouth.

Phil,
You must be on of cnn's shills huh? Seems to me all your stupid moronic comments get posted but others dont? What a coicidence. Must be nice. Why even say the sh t you say. You are wasting YOUR time. Dont you have anything better to do. Just shut up and go to sleep and know your gov't just loves you so much and they would never harm you at all. Check out OPERATIONS NORTHWOODS. THAT IS HOW MUCH THEY LOVE US. BUT I GUESS WAR MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND RIGHT? You sir are no better than anyone else on hear. So quite acting like you have all the anwsers okay? Ron Paul beat out Thompson and Giuiliani, Huckabee in NV. That is proof he has support. I will admit that ,yes, most Americans are so brainwashed by the mainstream media and will vote whomever they are told. Like you. But dont bash us for supporting liberty, freedom and equal treatment of ALL races. So go on about your neocon loving self. PeacE to all the Ron Paul supporters. I too am a supporter of Dr. Paul.

Phil from Memphis sure seems fixated on
Ron Paul's alleged bigotry. I don't know if he is or isn't. Most people are in one way or another. If he is bigoted, then he has a serious character flaw. I have several myself. How about you , Phil? Do you have any? But there are other measures with which to judge a man's character. I have been against the Iraq/Afghanistan wars since before they were begun. I was lied to about the reasons for the wars and now some 4000 American lives are lost with tens of thousands more wounded. Millions of innocent Iraqi and Afghani lives have been lost, wounded and/or displaced from their homeland. That part of the world is now covered with radioactive depleted uranium which will kill and maim for thousands of years to come. There is no end in sight to this carnage being done in MY name and it is all based on LIES. Not to mention that these wars are bankrupting this country, just as the USSR was bankrupted by its misadventure in the same region. Ron Paul, as President , would put a stop to it. That, I think, speaks to character too and he wins my vote right there. Anti union? Fine with me even though I am a union member, steward, and advocate. Anti abortion? I think he's wrong. Bigotted? Maybe, but what is more bigotted than continuing a war judged to be illegal by any and all international standards, a war based on LIES. When I prioritize the issues for myself, ending the wars comes first, second, and third. And if my vote has to go to a man who is an alleged bigot in order to end these wars, then so be it. And I'll worry about his other character flaws later. GO RON PAUL!

I think that pack of wolves are all great. Great I tell you. Leaders. I am sure with any of them prosperity is right around the corner.

Hey Phil,

When Ron Paul saw the newsletters, HE FIRED THAT EMPLOYEE.

When a white supremacist donated to his campaign, he refused to return the money — first of all, there's no way you can check out hundreds of thousands of donors — but even so, Paul said taking the money from him allowed HIM to do something good with it and took it out of the hands of someone who would only do something bad with it.

His record speaks for itself. Not a surprise that the establishment has to stretch to come up with ANYTHING negative!

As far as the other candidates, you can go on and on and on.

Huckabee using State funds to buy his wife clothes and take his family to dinner, trying to take $70K worth of furniture donated to the Gov's mansion when he moved out, saying he cut taxes 19 times while in office - but NOT saying the bottom line was a 43% tax INCREASE, SPEAKING at White Supremacist meetings…hey, I guess that's what REAL Christianity is about, right?

McCain trying to hide his POW record, making racist remarks about Muslims recently, or his duck-and-dodge verbiage about getting 'tough' vs his actual history on illegals issues..

These are just samples. I don't need to talk about Thompson's campaign staff turnover, Guiliani's denial of the NAU when he was being PAID to do work for them, or Romney not supporting LDS values — and I AM LDS, so I know EXACTLY where he is going directly against Church teachings.

Ron Paul said that we are going bankrupt. The traders on the Wall Street floor cheered when the lambasted Bernecke. Ron Paul said we had to look more carefully at the Iranian speedboat issue and use restraint — while ALL the other candidates wanted to "send them to Hell" or "make them meet their virgins"… and now it comes out that it was just trash talk after all!

How can you really trust any of those people? Res ipsa loquitur (loose translation, 'the thing speaks for itself')

Here is where the rest of us are coming from: Ron Paul only appeals to the most intelligent people who are able to put 2 and 2 together, those free-thinkers who are able to recognize irregularities … and have the guts to pursue the truth. You don't need to agree on every single thing about a candidate. There are some aspects of his views that I don't agree with. However, at least I know FOR SURE what he stands for. Year…after year…after year…after year … the same votes, the same message … on…and on… and on…

If he doesn't win … God help us all. Maybe they'll let you choose where your RFID chip is inserted. That's the best we can hope for.

Good going Thomas–putting Phil in his place. You're so right in everything you said in your blog. And to Ofer, there's nothing scary in the Constitution therefore there's nothing scary about Ron Paul. Only narrow-minded people like you are scary.

I am so proud of Ron Paul and his supporters who have been campaigning so hard for him! Coming in 2nd in Nevada is a great, great win for us all. It is so obvious that he is moving up, up, up and we've just barely begun to get the word out.

Sure, we have a lot of obstacles to overcome with the mainstream media ignoring him and people getting paid to try to ruin our enthusiasm and dedication with blatant ineffectual smear attempts (please don't feed the trolls, they are paid very well by the other candidates and powers-that-be). We realize that their jealousy just means we are getting our job done and that Ron Paul is becoming even more of a threat to all the candidates each day as he grows more powerful and known!

Because once people hear about Ron Paul and what he stands for, his honesty, integrity, strong belief in the Constitution, perfect record of voting and brilliant plan to reclaim our civil rights and economy, and bring our troops home, they get very excited.

We love you so much, Ron Paul! All the way to the White House!!!

Ron Paul a True Patriot with a plan to save The Economy and make you wealthier!

Shame on the media!

Romney supporters? What is exactly the plan Mitt is proposing? Showing off his good looks to billions of Chineese? LOL

To 'A Canadian for Ron Paul'…

A SPECIAL thanks to all Canadians…and especially to those Canadian 'Wild Geese' that slipped across our shared border and signed up with the US Armed Forces to go over to Viet Nam with us to kill Commies for Mommie. I know some of you went home in boxes to quiet funerals all across Canada. You are not forgotten.

(A Special Hello to Terry Whiteside in Winnipeg)…

I figure any Canadian willing to fight for this country ought to be able to vote in its elections. You've earned the privilege… Remember to vote and vote often…(wink). 'Canadians for Ron Paul for President'…it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

I must say, It surprises me that Ron Paul got any votes when you consider the election is rigged by the Zionist organized crime outfit the MISPUKA! If anyone other than Paul gets in……get ready to have more wars for Israel!!

Thank god Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance. Bush gave America to the Chinese. Taking it away again will make matters unharmonious.

Ron Paul believes that we should introduce democracy to the rest of the world by example…not by force as we are doing now. (isnt that an oxymoron…forcing democracy)

Ron Paul believes we should not spend billions of dollars policing the world and telling other countries how they should live.

Ron Paul believes we should NOT borrow billions of dollars from countries like China to finance illegal wars, while the United States is heading into a recession…or worse.

Mitt Romney, John McCain and Hillary Clinton support this war and support financing other countries wars with more borrowed money.

What is really amazing, is that Ron Paul is second instead of first !
If only the media would give him a chance, the whole world would be better off.

1st, thanks to CNN for posting the article about Ron Paul.

To Phil…With all due respect, you haven't shown us where to go to see for ourselves the evidence for Paul's racism. I think that our society has degenerated so much that anyone who dares breathe a thought of cutting off social entitlement programs at the Federal level is branded a racist.

To Lee, I think if you do more research, you'll discover that every panic and depression this country has ever experienced, including the panic of 1837, was entirely caused by either the government central bank, or by a cartel of banking interests centered in New York. Jackson knew that a central bank run by bankers was just the same as giving them a license to steal- our current mess is entirely the fault of Mr. Greenspan and his gang of wretched reptilian money-changers. If the US had no Federal reserve, we wouldn't be in the cesspool in which we now find ourselves.

On the level of personal integrity, Paul is the winner. That alone is reason enough to vote for him

Of all the canidates Ron Paul can walk the walk and talk the talk and the others…Just walk the walk.

Ron Paul believes in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights where it says "… all men are created equal.." How can he be called a bigot?

It's Ron Paul or we're doomed to live forever (or as long as "they" will let us) on plantation earth.

A true Patriot.

Ron Paul is in it for the long hall. What a patriot.

People, why do you waste time and energy arguing with the likes of 'Phil'?
You are a Ron Paul supporter, talk among yourselves and ignore all who
are not. One either supports Ron Paul or they do not. The 'do nots' are in
here only to disrupt. Ignore them and they are just barking at the moon.
You all know who they are, just ignore their comments completely by not
reading them and they become just printed letters to nowhere. I for one
pass by any comment by Phil, for example. So he is now a none entity for
me in this comment section. Try it. It feels good.

"Mitt has not been in Washington for years like John McLaim, Clinton and Obama."

i.e., Romney has no record to review. Dr. Ron Paul has been in Congress for 10 terms, so he does have one. That is impecable and consistent. He says what he means and means what he says.

Attended the 1/2mile long march for Dr. Paul in Las Vegas last weekend - wonderful experience with enthusiastic supporters (where was Mitt's March? Nowhere)

Wore my Ron Paul button into a shop today and the clerk comments, 'I agree with your support of Ron Paul - this happens all the time either with my button or my Ron Paul signs on my car.

Ron Paul for the long haul
The times they are a changin'

Yeah …you Ronmey guys and gals just like his G.Q. Look and not what he stands for…Sad. His looks over political Consitutionalism…Hummm!…Really Sad! Please wake up and see the real canidate is Ron Paul.

All right Gunsmith! At least you admit your bigotry and hatred and don't try to spin it. Doggy Boy, show me one lie I have told. Find one thing I have said that you can document as a lie. As usual, the true colors come out when the emotions get going.

Most of you have been respectful and sincere and I appreciate it. To the rest of you, when this campaign is over (of course you know it already is) please find a rock to climb back under. Pleeeeaassseee!

The blind will not likely see again But thank God there are some who get off their butt and look with the eyes they have. They see the real conservative who does not just talk but walks the walk. All you need to know is who has followed his oath of office for 20 years. None other than Ron Paul. His message is unmistakable and it runs true
to what he believes. if you are paying attention all the rest change like the wind with whatever they think will get them elected. Ron Paul has not flip floped or pandered for votes with things he didn't start with in his message.

For me it will be Ron Paul or no vote at all.

Three cheers for Ron Paul. Thanks for standing for the Constituion and the United States as a Constitutional Repulic! I'd love to be able to call him Mr. President!

Bigoted?…you are a fool.

To Lee:

How would a third party be selling out? What law says that we are only allowed to have the same two corrupt political parties run our lives and destroy this country? I would welcome a third party since my old Republican Party has been hijacked by corrupt thieves and the other choice is socialist crackpots with hundreds of self-interest groups fighting for my tax dollars.

Last week, either CNN or ABC's website head lined a story, "Pimpin for Paul" which was meant to damage Paul's reputation by implying the kind of people who support Paul are prostitutes and pimps. I'm sure if we took a survey as to the types of people who vote or support other candidates we would find some of questionable character. There is a very real bias against Paul in the mainstream media. If Paul's candidacy does not appeal to you, the reaction and his treatment by the mainstream press should alarm. Whether you agree or support Paul you should definetly be aware of the manipulation of the people's democratic process. There are so many alarming things that are being brought to light by Paul's run for office. We should all be paying attention to the real issues Paul is exposing us to and ignore the constant and deliberate decoys.

Congratulations Ron Paul!!
Second place in Nevada shows the people are getting the message. Ron Paul for "Peace and Prosperity". This is the only man I trust in Washington. I believe every word he says. He has clear cut plans to get this country back on the right path. Please CNN, let the people know you are a fair news media who treat all candidates equally and fairly.
God Bless you Ron Paul!

Ron Paul won't last the election process, he may be a good guy, but that won't matter.

Anonymous Somewhere, MI, Romney won in your state, he won in WY and NV, what do you mean it means nothing! What are you stupid or were you born a lib?

Romney has done well in the early states, it isn't over yet, I don't know if Romney will win or not but you ned to get you facts right knucklehead!

Go Mitt

Ofer,

Dr. Paul suggested that buying the slaves from the south and freeing them would have cost less money and less lives than the civil war did. And he is right, it would have been a more cost-effective way to end slavery.

You seek to twist that sound reasoning around, implying that Paul believes owning other humans is legitimate. Obviously if you are paying off slave owners to set the slaves free, you don't think slave owning is legitimate.

in response to "Ofer's" comment: "Ron's statements about the Federal Reserve and posts in this thread that refer to 'bankers' are obviously coded terms meant to indicate Jews. I am not surprised that Ron Paul or his supporters would view the Jews as part of a New World Order conspiracy." Who says bankers are Jewish? Your remark is rascist.

Like I always say, Ron Paul is so clean and pure a Republican how can you compare him with any of the other canidates..D..OR …R.. You can't. He is Pure Consitutionalist. Read …Understand… This Document is AMERICA. If you do not like it, Then go to a country of your political faith, but DO NOt Introduce it HERE in America , Because we are A Consitutional Republic. AND NOT A DEMOCRACY which is MOB Rule! Sorry Socialist Fabians of H.G. Wells. Go Home!!…Europe Awaits!! (Europeans …get them when they get there!)

Hey Phil,
I'll bet $20.00 you're nothing more than a homo-sexual jew-boy w/ an attitude/serious concern about Ron Paul's ever expanding popularity! Yep, he 'll eliminate foreign aid to the zionist regime in Tel-Aviv & stop the mid-east war, bring the troops home & put 'em on the Mexican border……..get over it Phil & go back to Yidsrael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey People

Ignore "Phil" or what ever his real name is!

He's a propagandist for the truely evil people in our midst

Go wash out your mouth for lying… eh… "Slick Phil"

Ron Paul is the best man that America has produced in almost 50 years

Yeah!!!!!

Dancing Doggy Boy…{:o))

How long before the race pimps start accusing Ron Paul of being a bigot? Oops, too late.

I am amazed that all the coverage in the SC live exit polls says it's all about Romney and McCain…there it was on the list that Ron Paul had 13 percent of the exit poll…why does nobody even comment on it or mention it? I can believe now that every mainstrean media co. has been bought. and the media blackout is real..more important than ever for Paul supporters to keep the momentum going among real people who care about indiviual freedoms and much less government. I can't wait for the primary in Fla so I can cst my vote for Ron Paul. They must be really scared of him if they won't even say his name or refer to him. Go, Dr. Paul..!!!

Sadly, I believe that Ron Paul will not get the Republican nomination. It seems as though the media continues to give more time to Thompson and Giuliani even though Ron Paul has fared better in the primaries so far. It will be interesting to see if things change after South Carolina. Giuliani's plan of betting the farm on Florida comes off as a little arrogant. After showing so poorly in the other primaries how does he think that winning Florida will inject life into an already faultering campaign. This stategy seems absurd but…. Still, the media choses to give him more coverage related to that point…. I guess Mr. 911 is more newsworthy. As far as Thompson goes, I don't really have anything bad to say, other than Ron Paul does not get a comparative amount of media coverage while doing better in the primaries so far. Maybe the media likes his stage presence. Irregardless, Please, Please, Please…. report the news and let US decide!
I hope that Ron Paul will run as an Independent so that the rest of the American people who do not neatly fit into the 2 established parties can have a candidate and a voice.
Thank You

OK, now I am up to 4 different explanations for the newsletters, none of which match the only information I can document. I am really trying not to post anymore, but I continue to see the same erroneous rationale posted over and over again "The leader of the NAACP cleared Ron Paul". It is blatantly incorrect and misleading. It was the leader of the Austin, TX (RP's home state, isn't it?) chapter of the NAACP , and he then came back and clarified that it was not an endorsement of RP and did not represent the view of his organization, but only his personal view. RP can't be "cleared" because one person gives an opinion on him.

I expect, and I have not been able to substantiate this last part (see, there is a difference between an educated opinion and fact, and I do recognize that) that the NAACP quickly slapped his hand and asked him to clarify; or that he himself realized what he had done was not appropriate and clarified.

I think Ron Paul is possibly the best candidate to compete for the Republican nomination in my 60 years on this rock. That said, if in the end Dr. Paul is not nominated, do we abdicate our right to self-determination by abstaining from voting? Or as good Republicans, do we march down to the polls and vote for Romney or McCain in attempt to block Hillary? I say Hillary because I am fairly certain, based on all the exiting polls I can obtain, that America is not ready for a black man as president. Anyway, thank Ron Paul for running, sharing some intellectually diverse ideas and pointing out there is an alternative to the staid, fetid, Neocon thinking in this party.

Sounds like the voting is a regular criminal's bizarre.
Truth about our voting is really stranger than any fiction imaginable. No one could think up this stuff.

Need to flush this out to the American people as we
go thru all these primaries. I guess at the end of this we will have people writing books about all the questionable voting and those that "manage" it. Fantastic. Maybe will get rid of the absurd Diebold slot machines and start putting a lot more people for voting fraud. That would be nice.

Many thanks for those in the trenches and those exposing the voting fraud/irregularities and reporting on it.

Ron Paul is this generation's Barry Goldwater: ahead of his time, but probably won't be the one to see his vision come true. We will have to endure several more years of liberal government: rising taxes, wars, erosion of fundamental rights, etc. before the country wakes up and elects someone with his views….such as what finally happened in 1980, after the country was down about as far as it could go.

Years from now, people will say that it was here when we started back on the road to the kind of government that our Framers intended.

you'll post "huh" from annonamous but not my comment thanks CNN you suck

Ron Paul is a NATIONAL TREASURE!

We must persevere. The more the main stream media tries to oppress this honest freedom loving statesman, the stronger the Ron Paul revolution will propagate. I will have an other chance to make a statement on MLK's day. let's reclaim the Republican Party, reclaim the US of A that the founding fathers envisioned for our republic.
