(CNN) - Ron Paul’s loyal supporters helped him set campaign fundraising records and capture more delegates during his presidential run than some of his high-profile Republican rivals. They even managed to briefly shut down Nevada’s GOP convention earlier this month over a rules change controversy.
Now they’ve taken his latest book to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller list.
“The Revolution: A Manifesto”, released earlier this month, is currently No. 1 on the Web site’s list of top sellers, besting even Oprah’s latest Book Club selection.
“Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious,” boasts the book’s product description, adding: “Candidates across America are already running as ‘Ron Paul Republicans.’”

Ron Paul is the Rev Wright of Conservatives... looney tunes!!!
Alright Dr. Paul! It's about time you get some well-deserved media coverage.
Sen. Obama is in a 5 against 1 battle for the nomination. Once the nomination has been sealed and he's no longer taking on the HRC establishment, her supporters, McCain, and his supporters, plus the GOP things will fall into place. Sen. Obama is fending farely well considering his unequaled circumstances. Oh yeah, and Ron Paul's foreign policy is dead on!!!
The last statement is true. It has already started here at the county level. btw, look up Doug Wead's article, "The Mouse that Roared".
This article reaks of insinuations that only Ron Paul supporters bought his book, voted for him, or set campaign fundraising records. It takes more than a loyal base to get these results.
It's a great book! Finally, we have a Field Guide for Liberty!
Everyone should read it, it's very good! It takes a wrecking ball to establishment ideas!
I'm going to share this with all my friends and family!
Thank you Dr. Paul!
Why is he still in the Republican Party ?
He should start his own party and people with come.
There is a need for a strong third party, he can pull it thru!
Hmm don't know the man or his book very well but am concerned that he may attract all the disenfranchised democratic party voters from Florida, Michigan and Clinton people if Barack Obama is the democratic nominee.
He may do well but I think he's got a long way to go before he makes it to the white house.
"Ron Paul is the Rev Wright of Conservatives… looney tunes!!!" – CA native
Yeah, nothin' says "looney" like pointing out that we don't have the money to police the world, that we should return to constitutional government and protect individual liberty, and that our entitlement programs are going bankrupt. He's CRAZY!
Heavy sarcasm intended.
State Universities teach the same stuff as Multiculturalism! What do you think Obama heard at Harvard?
I like Ron Paul because of his credibility. It is unfortunate that his credibility hurts his campaign.
So his entire campaign was just a ruse to sell books? What a waste!
Ca Native
This relic needs to crawl back to his hole in Texas. His supporters are Libertarians not Republicans and need to move on. Paul is a pain in the derrier to real conservatives. At least Ross Perot made sense. This guy is all over the map.
ron paul would be better than mccain or hillary.at least he's honest.
I'm not a Republican but Obama supporters? You want REAL change? Follow Ron Paul! This guy pretty much wants to eliminate the entire government – now THAT'S change you can really believe in!!!
Read the book you'll love it.
He should write a book on how his supporters get his signs to the hardest of places. One of his sings is on top of the mountain near I-80 near Reno, NV. Dear Ron Paul, please ask your fanatic supporters to get the sign down please!!!
How well would a Obama-Paul ticket do?
If Dr Paul had been given the press that any of his competition had been given, he would be our next president no matter how the democrat's primary turns out.

"Ron Paul is the Rev Wright of Conservatives… looney tunes!!!"
Just as CA Native is a product of our public schools and fluoridated water.
Ron Paul supporters did not shut down the Nevada convention. Party leadership shut the convention down to avoid electing Paul supporters as delegates to the national convention. The party chair broke the convention's rules by shutting down procedings unilaterally.
I rather have Paul than McCain.
I agree with rasta...since I'm still waiting for the new Al Franken book, I need something to laugh at.
And Ron Paul is absolutely crazy. Just like anyone who thinks that they can dissolve government overnight and leave everything to the free market. The day Ron Paul or any of his ilk get elected President is the day America ceases to exist.
Ron Paul is already my President.
I find it sad that during the GOP debates the other candidates sneered and chuckled when Dr. Paul spoke. The policies he advocates are simple: smaller government and sensible foreign policy. You'd think that after 8 years of fiscal anarchy and foreign policy blunders the electorate would clamor for candidates with the sensible world view and principles of Dr. Paul – but no, we nominate the same people with the same old policies that are digging this country into a hole: All of our problems can be solved if he just throw money at them (of course we have to borrow that money from China at high interest, but who cares), or invade another country (and pay for it with borrowed money).
Please elect someone with new ideas and solutions for once!
Paul or anyone not named Bush/Clinton '12.
Of course!! Ron Paul has millions of supporters only the corrupt political system in the united states won't let you know. Heck all major news outlets throughout all the primaries were declaring winner with less than 1 % of vote tallies. The GOP has been changing convention rules state by state to particularly disqualify Ron Paul delegates.
The Media, The Election, and this entire political system is nothing more than a SHAM!!! just like the Iraq war and the pentagon scripts all the news media had with the Generals appearing on their cable shows to promote the war. Ron Paul is a true American Icon who fights diligently for the rights of the American people.
Ron Paul may have a chance to pick up a large number of votes if Obama takes the Democratic nomination. I support Hillary, and I will never vote Obama. My vote will leave the democratic party for either Paul or McCain if Hillary loses the nomination. If Obama wins the nomination, the Democrats will lose the election.
I used to be a registered Democrat but i changed my party affiliation to Republican in order to vote for Ron Paul in the Florida primary.
Let me start off by saying that I thought the Democrats were always antiwar and pro-peace party that care a lot about our happiness and wellbeing, but when I dug deep into the matter, I realized that there was no big difference with the Democrats and Republicans. Both parties are exactly the same.
However, Ron Paul was different and gives logical solutions to our nations real problems.
I'm 100% convinced that all of our country's problems stem from our overly powerful, overly large, bureaucratic government and thanks to Ron Paul, I realize that if we want to live in a good country, we need to shrink the size of government and give us freedom. Our government needs to learn to restrain its power and size by following the constitution that our brilliant forefathers created for us.
A free country is a prosperous country. If you care about the poor, care about health care, care about our freedoms then I suggest you pick up a copy of Ron Paul's new book. I really enjoyed reading it.
I am not a ron paul supporter..I have bought his book..from what i have heard from the others obama, hillary.. mccain ..ron paul is the only one, talking any sense and cares about what happens to the people in this country..
Ron Paul is a man of Character and honesty and based on where we are with our current President it would be nice to have someone you could trust.
The Man understands economics and the Constitution he does something our present leader does not he reads!!
He can discuss with out having to have a speech written for him.
The Country will regret John McCain and Billary, deeper in debt and give everything away.
Ron Paul is the only true hope this Country has to return to it's greatness.
With all the poor press and the media controlled by companies his voice is not heard or understood, what ashame for all of us.
Ron Paul is the only ture Patriot that can save the Country.
I just saw another poll that said he was up 3% and he is overall ahead of Clinton in majority if not all the national polls.
Yawn
You need to support HIllary.
He has my vote,even as a write-in.I wont vote for McSame.
Ca Native the only loon is you,since you give no specifics, is it looney to follow the US CONSITUTION , try reading the book and stop watching tv,you sound like a brainwashed msm drone. Try reading the book,once you read the book you will be singing a different tune. TURN YOUR TV OFF you sound like a broken record from hannity aka corrupt gop hacks
oops CONSTITUTION typo
aaaaaaa,
He's back,
Wasn't he planning a revolution or something?
I miss the little monkey.
Cnn doesnt understand anything. I cant wait until their old media is phased out
They say Obama can't get the white vote what if black people get turn off and don't vote for clinton in stead vote for Mccain
As a Hillary Clinton support, I respect Ron Paul and the enthusiasm he has generated throughout the country and enjoyed his frank and direct answers in the debates. Without a doubt, every politician can learn from Ron. Hopefully, some of Hillary's policy considerations, when she is the President, take into account the Paul's ideas of fiscal responsibility, by balancing the budget or even reducing our 'National Debt' as was the case when Bill Clinton was President. I would not be surprised if Hillary appointed Ron Paul to a cabinet position. We need all the good ideas we can get to bring our country back to some sort of semblance of order.
Unfortunately Ron Paul can not WIN and if he did he would fighting the 700 Idiots we have in Washington and get NO where
The thing is HE IS the only one speaking about REAL CHANGE
and solving the real Problems
If he runs as an Indepent I will vote for him
The article was, also, wrong stating the NVGOP shut-down was brief. The GOP party heads acted like spoiled bullies and stomped off, delaying the convention indefinitely. It is quite plain to see that there are people who will break their own rules to retain the power to decide our choices for us. Let us teach them the true meaning of a democratic republic and how to play BY the rules.
REVOLUTION MARCH July 12, 2008, Washington DC
THERE'S A LOT OF MDIA BLACKOUT UH? KIND OF LIKE THE MEDIA BLACKOUT THAT SERVES THE CLINTON, IT KEEPS THEM WELL PROTECTED FROM VOTER'S KNOWLEDGE OF WHO HOW CORRUPT THEY REALLY ARE.
A media blackout? Do you mean that CNN is unfair to candidates in this election? Wow! Who da thunk it?
Good for you Ron Paul! One Republican I like!!! OBAMA/08
Hillary: she is harrasing Obama
destroying the party
she is evil_
she is mean
she is a LIAR
Wow!!! A media source is actually admitting to the Blackout on coverage that was done to Ron Paul, and his campaign.
lol released earlier this month, if by that you mean, early this morning.
Obama can transform America's image, says Jimmy Carter
By Toby Harnden in Washington
Last Updated: 6:55PM BST 30/04/2008
Former President Jimmy Carter has given Barack Obama a major boost by calling for the bitter Democratic nomination battle to end on June 3rd and speaking glowingly of his ability to “transform the image” of America.
BLOOMBERG
Jimmy Carter's comments are a blow to Hillary Clinton
Transcript of the interview
Mr Carter did not formally endorse Mr Obama but in an interview with The Daily Telegraph made crystal clear where his sympathies lie. He even sketched out the kind of inaugural address the first black United States president could deliver.
Coming from the most distinguished of some 300 uncommitted "super-delegates” – the Democratic party leaders who will crown their party’s nominee – Mr Carter’s new public stance is a blow to Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the White House.

you will be even more, History than Obama.... Grow Up Mr...
Do you wan't a USA??? Or a Us-eless America. Idiot's..... Idiot's come and go. But America??? Where do you stand????????????
Thank you CNN, even though equal coverage for Ron Paul during the last year would have been wonderful, and FOX is still ignoring him. He has campaigned constantly, drawing huge crowds, with no national media coverage, and look what he has accomplished. I wonder how far the other 3 would have gotten without the daily media coverage.
Incidently, Ron Paul is still in the race, and going all the way to the National Convention in September. So sit tight.
I suggest you visit Ron Paul's website and read about what he would like to do. I certainly agree wiht many of his goals, except I feel this country needs to provide health services to every citizen.
I am surprised no candidate has a goal to reduce the "usury" rates credit car companies can charge. That would probalby do more to jump start the economy than anything else.
Hey CaNative,Care to back up your empty rhetoric with some pertinent facts? btw,that 20 year old racist newsletter garbage smear isn't good enough either,it's already been disproved a thousand times over.
Ron Paul is the man! Obama, Hillary and McCain is paid establishment puppets for elites...
The only canidate that made sense, knew what he was talking about and was willing to tell the truth. It's a shame the media controls the political process, and it's a shame the media is controlled by the government.
Ron Paul is one of the most intelligent politicans currently! People are listening to Dr. Ron Paul!
What an admirable politician. I'm hoping to see him speak in Raleigh this weekend. Not sure if I'm going to be able to get in. They said it's free but you have to reserve tickets. Crowds of 1000s come to see him now. It's a shame the corporate media downplayed his support and slandered him so much. The great thing about a revolution is that it doesn't stop and we've just gotten the ball rolling again.
Speaking of Paul but a different one. WHY hasn`t anyone talked about the law suit that is going on at this moment in Los Angeles. Have all of you forgotten? WELL let me remind you of what`s going on. It`s PAUL VS: CLINTONS. Please read about it and you will see how far Hillary Clinton wants the power. Please read about it. All we see from the press is this reverend Wright, and God knows what else against the Obama campaign, but has anyone talked about the fraud the Clintons did back few years ago. What a shame.
AGM
Is Ann Coulter, going to compare this to nazism like she did with Obama and "dreams from my father"? Probably not. Oh if you havent heard that yet look it up. She's crazy and will do anything to make sure we stay exactly where are as a country. I know this isnt the subject of the article but I cant emphasize enough how much a loon she is and its scary she actually gets air time.
this is depressing
ron paul and obama are the best things to ever happen to this country! one from the right, one from the left. america is in the worst position its ever been, if neither of these two gets to be president, then we as a country will be doomed and deservedly so!!!!!
You know, for some reasons, I like this guy. I think I really like him. He comes off as someone you can actually trust- and I dont always say that about a republican.
Although I will be voting democrat this year, if he were to have been the rep nominee, chances are that I will be casting my vote for him – seriously
We have a REAL Conservative Republican in Ron Paul! All one needs to do is look at who the Republicans put forth as their Presidential choice to see how liberal the Republican party has become.
Juan McCain for Amnesty/President.
You all need to be talking about the PAUL VS CLINTON"S. Why are you not talking about that CNN.
If you want to know more about Ron Paul, go to YouTube and search for Media Caught Lying. This shows the true trends of information seekers online and how our opinions are shaped. Kudos to CNN for this biased article!
I'd like to hear more about this.
Sorry CA, he is not the Rev Wright of conservatives. He is the James Madison of the 21st century. He may sound looney and get laughed at, but that is what happens when you tell the truth in politics. He is also a prime example of how the media really picks who the mainstream candidates are going to be in an election. Because if you total up the numbers, Paul wasted a few of the popular reps.. So imagine how well he could have done if he had been given the same attention as Fred Thompson or Rudy Guliani.
Do you think there will be room for Ron Paul in an Obama Administration? I would support that.
O/08
How Internationally "silly" we appear, and ironic this is. That we would be spending $3B/wk to spread democracy, and insure security, yet in our own country the election before lastwas corruptemy "hanging chads" in the President's brother-run state, the past election hinged on votes in Ohio, and currently we can't decide what to do with yainted votes in FL and MI. Aren't we the worlds shinning example of the democratic process.
Ron Paul should have been the nominee instead of McCain aka McShame, McSame, McBush, etc.
You are really too late in get in the presidentail politics.
Ron Paul for the Long Haul! Three cheers for a true American patriot that gets the big picture on what our country needs.
All those poor uninformed Barak Hissing Obama supporters will have a rude awakening at the convention in Denver. All those "committed" delegates are committed for ONE vote. After that they are free to choose any canadate. If you made it through the eighth grade you should know that. And, that is why Hillary will stick it out all the way to Denver.
Not that I care. I will be voting for the caucasian male, First, last and always, the party he represents is irrevelent.
How realistic can we get!!
Why has Hillary not been dragged to the press to explain
1. The actual Bosnia event. We still need the truth from her
2. The NAFTA deal by Bill, and the gains they are now making from those past deals ($109 million)?
3. Why she is still married to an ex- president who was impeached in this nation (lots of sexual scandals).
and the list goes on
Obama Paul '08
To Ca Native – "looney tunes" describes the current foreign policy, monetary and fiscal policies, etc., that have led us toward serfdom. Everything Ron Paul talks about is right on! Why don't you open your clouded, brainwashed mind and start accepting the principles that will mean more REAL wealth creation, peace and freedom for you and me. Pick up a copy of the book and read it.
Go Ron! You are still the Man! Let's keep this R3volution alive.
and the hour is getting late! Ron Paul!
Ron Paul's supporters didn't shut down the Nevada GOP convention. McCain's supporters were running the show and tried to change the rules so their committee could appoint the delegates. The rank-and-file (Paul and Romney people mainly) blocked that. Then when Ron was almost sweeping the election the McCain people ignored Roberts rules, shut down the convention, the microphone, and the lights.
Ron Paul?
I thought he suspended his campaign? Didn't his supporters close some Republican convention in Nevada or something this past weekend and didn't let Romney speak?
What's next, end the war?
I THINK THAT RON PAUL IS A VERY SMART MAN.
BUT IS HE RIGHT FOR PRESIDENT?
HILLARY STANDS OUT IN THE LEADERSHIP ROLE!!!
SHE WILL CROSS PARTY LINES OR WHATEVER HAS TO BE DONE TO GET TO A SOLUTION!
THE PRESS HAVE BEEN VERY NASTY TO HER, I GUESS BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN OR THEY FEAR HER FOR SOME REASON!
SHE HAS PROVEN SHE CAN TAKE A PUNCH AND COME RIGHT BACK!!!!
SHE GETS MY SUPPORT AND VOTE!!!!
'despite a media blackout,' .....and why was there a media blackout? The media is bought and sold and against any kind of free thought...and I am a Clinton supoorter.
Dr. Ron Paul's ideas for freedom and prosperity are more real now than ever. Let us stop talking falsely now for the hour is getting late!
Believe in the power of the Constitution and liberty!
Go Ron!
The Nevada GOP convention was earlier this month?
Um, it was on April 26th, uhhh 4 days ago!
The Revolution: A Manifesto was released earlier this month?
Um, it was released on April 30th, uhhh TODAY!
Jesus, if CNN accepts this as journalism, show me the job application!
Ron Paul's movement is one soaked in truth, which is not found now of days in politics or humans for that matter. Search him on common video websites and you can see more of what he speaks of.
This Book is Good!...Should I say Great...I recommend it and I finally found a Candidate, that makes sense!
Even if you know nothing about him or even dislike him...I must admit, he hits it Dead On! I couldn't stop reading it.
Ron Paul please endorse Obama and become Sec of State.
That will KILL the race and the GOP
Ca Native, Sorry if this sounds like an insult and it is, buy Dr. Paul's best selling book and learn something.
People show their utter ignorance when they call Ron Paul names.
Dr. Paul understands the issues today at the core of our problems and how to repair all the government has broken.
God Bless Ron Paul. The only person running that has the knowledge and integrity to deserve anyone's vote.
When the collapse of the dollar comes and people are looking to crucify someone to make themselves feel better about having lost everything, I hope everyone will remember the interest (or lack thereof) paid by the various media to the only person who could have stopped it. You know it's happening – wouldn't now be a good time to position yourselves as someone found out late but still tried to help?
I doubt all of Reverend Wright's comments were untrue. Often the one who is truthful is seen as the loon. Instead of the opposite.
GO Dr. Paul!!
Ron Paul is the only true politician to stick to the historical truth of this country and its Constitution. Ron Paul, I support all of your ideas and wish this country would give you a chance.
Ca Native – I take it you haven't read his book? My son gave it to me to read – I had been a reluctant McCain supporter until two days ago, since Guiliani dropped out. Boy, have my eyes opened.
You can say that he is looney tunes, but which of the following is looney?
- Sound money
- Non-interventionism
- Conservative values
- End to income taxes (like we had for 90% of our country's history)
- Restore the constitution
- No entry into a North American Union
- Abolish the Fed and the IRS (oh, they can't do that, it will never happen – with the stroke of a pen it could)
If you don't think any of this could happen, then you have already given up all your power to our government that used to be for the people, by the people. I'll take a stand – you go watch American Idol.
Wonder what the neocons are going to do once they lose control of the GOP to real conservatives like Ron Paul's people?
I think they are trying to infiltrate the Libertarian Party right now.
Neocons. Full of FAIL.
I wish Senator McCain will consider him as his V.P.
However, as I know, Dr. Ron Paul will not accept his V.P. offer.
If McCain can include some of Dr. Paul's ideas, he will succeed with some truly historic impact.
If Hillary should be the Dem nominee, McCain will have an easier time in November. Let the Dem and Independents decide.
Which one of the two is older? Paul or McCain?
Ron Paul is better than McCain and Hillary Clinton. He doesn't flip flop and he's honest.
Could Ron Paul "The Loser" through revolution evolution become Ron Paul "The Winner". The wheely dealy greedy war mongers are running
scared. They have no idea what to do about the "Real Patriot" and his act
The awakening of the silent majority brings hope to a starving nation.
God gives us the tools to work with sometimes it just takes us awhile
to use them
The only looney tunes are the ones that eat up all the socialist nonsense that the MSM feeds them every day under the guise of news.
Ron Paul is the only nation-wide politician that is telling us the truth.
Ron Paul wants to run this country by the constitution, not by socialism.
Ca Native, care to back up your name calling?
Ron Paul has sparked something big and its somewhat refreshing to see his name in the news. He cant be bought and that scares alot of insiders.
Everybody at Broaders said...WOW LOOK AT ALL these people for RON PAUL!!!!
I'm not sure,Dr.Paul may be older,and I know that Dr. Paul is wiser.
Libertarianism is making a comeback!
I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MORE PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD OF DR. PAUL. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING IN MY LOCAL PAPER ABOUT THE MAN, YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT HIM ON ANY TV STATION, AND IF HE IS ON THE TUBE THEY ARE BLATANTLY REPEATING THE WORDS......DARKHORSE, LONGSHOT, CRAZY, ETC.......AND IF IT ISN'T HIM IT IS HIS CRAZY SUPPORTERS. STRANGE INDEED, NOTHING LIKE HOW THE MEDIA HAS BEEN 24-7 ON JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE.....STRANGE........................ISSUES.........CAN WE AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THIS WAR.............NATIONAL HEALTH CARE??????????? HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS.........SS???? NOT GOING TO HAVE IT WHEN I GET TO RETIREMENT AGE, BUT I WILL BE PAYING INTO IT...................SECURING OUR BORDERS.............WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE DECIDED THAT GOING OVER THERE IS GOING TO KEEP THEM FROM COMING OVER HERE..............AND STILL MORE PEOPLE CROSS INTO THIS GREAT NATION ILLEGALLY EVERY DAY.....................WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, WHERE DO THEY COME FROM..........................WE.....NEED.....SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK
Ron Paul Rock! Buy This Book, I'm picking up my copy today!
"Losing ground?" How happy must be those who regard a nonissue as an issue. So what about Wright? So what about Catholics who claim no one can enter heaven unless they're baptised in the Cathlolic faith. So what about preachers who concemn all to ever-lasting hell for no reason at all. Obama is not Reverent Wright anymore than Wright is him. Why are we letting once again religion, a vacuous cuolprit, influence a contest for the Presidency? Why are we buying into nonsense?
Go Ron! All the best for Australia, where we have no-one on "Left" or "Right" of your calibre and integrity.
"They even managed to briefly shut down Nevada’s GOP convention earlier this month over a rules change controversy."
Please check your facts before writing such drivel. Ron Paul supporters won their delegate seats fair and square. *They* didn't "shut down" the convention, the party loyalist shut it down when it became clear that NV was on-track to send a large majority of Paul-supporting delegates to the convention.
As the dollar continues its collapse and war looms in Iran, "crazy" Ron Paul is looking more and more like the only sane person in Washington.
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH CERTAIN COMMENTS SITTING IN MODERATION?
Ron Paul '16!
Otto: "Ron Paul wants to run this country by the constitution, not by socialism."
Once you get rid of the labels, you will be amazed how much of socialism you actually like. Probably, more than me.
Ron Paul is the worst one of all. I don't mind voting for anyone but him.
Ron Paul has been the lonely voice of obeying our law, the US Constitution, for 3 decades now. He doesn't get tired of telling the truth – which explains his in-defatigable nature. (Heard he bikes & runs 12 miles a day – @ 72 !). He's a man of integrity – a Christian family man faithful for 50 years, with 5 children & 18 grandchildren. He's probably the only man in Congress who could hold his own in an in depth discussion with the Founding Fathers. No wonder the media panned him. To showcase him, is to show the woeful lack of depth in most all the others. I am still hopeful, however that in Providential timing, there are still enough lovers of Truth that they will 'Rally to the Texan !'. A man of integrity can help lead the way – do we have the integrity to follow ?
What a guy. Go Ron Paul!
This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to everyone. Oddly enough, this is coming from a Mike Huckabee supporter.
Ron Paul is one year older than John McCain. Paul was born 10/20/1935. McCain was born 10/29/1936.
Both candidates' domestic policies are complete disasters that look good on paper. But Paul holds a real upper hand in foreign policy.
At one debate, Paul and McCain fought about Vietnam. (both served at the time) McCain expressed the views of a complete imperialist lunatic. I'm surprised Paul has gone so quiet lately. McCain is against almost everything Ron Paul stands for.
Superdelagates please do not steal the nomination and give it to Hillary. She is trailing behing in popular votes and will be behind for the rest of the compaign and I want all the superdelagate know that we the people will elect the next president not them. Please do not bring 1984 back again.
Paul had great ideas. It is too bad he was shut out from debates.
I am looking forward to reading his latest book. I hope everyone picks up a copy. Citizens need to get more involved with the government, our Congress Critters are out of control.
When Ron Paul raises more money from military members than all of the other candidates COMBINED, citizens need to take notice. Soldiers cannot speak out while they are actively serving but they are speaking loud and clear with their hard earned money!
Go Paul Go!
Nothing short of a revolution will make a meaningful difference in the course of this country!
Anything will be better than what we have now!
I don't care whatever you stand for: as long as the status quo hates you, you've got my support LOL!
Once you go Ron, you'll NEVER go John!!!!
Ron Paul 2008 all the way baby!
The discussion following the interview of Michelle Obama and Caroline Kennedy was terrible. Discussing Rev Wright on and on ad nauseum by your reporters. Let go of it.
Are democrats so desperate for a "female" president (or wealth) that they are blinded to the Clinton scandals of the 90's?
Let us face it, Bill was NOT responsible for the economic fortunes of the 90's. Hillary was too busy with a "failed" health-care policy!!
Have you forgotten the INTERNET burst?
Have you forgotten the Republican Senate that forced Bill to raise taxes?
Have you forgotten the sex scandals (finger poiting and lying)
Have you forgotten the items that Hillary stole from the White House?
The Republicans are hungry; they want to run against Hillary. I rest my case; give Hillary to the Republicans!!!
Though Ron Paul never had a shot in hell of winning the nomination, hopefully the vast majority of his ideas (which are excellent and in accordance with the center-right libertarian views most Americans hold) are taken into account by whoever becomes president in November.

Paul is 72, McCain is 71. Paul looks a lot better, like a guy who's done long distance running.
I always liked Paul. Most of his positions made a lot of sense.
I was disappointed with the way he was sidelined by the media, but not surprised.
Ron Paul is the only true stateman in Washington DC. If all the others would have followed the Constitution we would not be in the mess we are in today. Ron Paul said it is NOT TOO Late to turn everything around..... It is almost too late. Everyone needs to vote him in and anyone who will not follow the Consitituon out....
I am about 1/2 way done with his book.. Wake up America.....
By the way, Obama supporters,
don't buy any spins coming out of the corporate media!
the real polls that are never quoted by the neocon media say
few if any has changed their mind about whom to support!
GOOGLE DEMOCRACY NOW and
get real news produced by people with integrity, insight and perspective!
i like Ron Paul's foreign policy..i think he has the constituion down packed..and he can teach us a thing or two about our country's contract in the consitution. I wasn't surprised about his Nevada support because frankly people are suspicious of the 'status quo' or 'eliest club' (HRC, BO, JM)..... in my work enviroment he is beginning to look like the watermelon of the picinc (the best part).
I still haven't given him my vote but they way things are going...who knows.
Ron Paul, you are the Man. You are the only true American Statesman by strictly adhering to the Constitution and pursuing a nonnegotiable path of Liberty, Peace and Sound Money!
May you always reap abundantly of God's Blessings!
Ron Paul is the Ron Paul of conservatives. Comparing Paul to Wright is a transparent attempt to score a cheap shot.
Why is an honest, principled politician who courageously and consistently speaks out against threats to personal liberty and freedom such a foreign concept that drives people to marginalize him?
_
For those who think Ron Paul is all about the constitution, consider one thing please. He wants to abolish the census. Without the census we would not have an accurate count of citizens in each state, therefore there would not be equal representation in the House of Representatives. Is this constitutional?
I will be the first to admit that I do not agree with all of his policies. However, he is the first person that I've donated to. The first politician I will defend in debates amongst family and friends. The first politician that actually had be debating on running for mayor of my town, i'm two years too young. I have no doubt in my mind that everyone is itching for Ron Paul to do well, but have a certain someone over their shoulder holding them back. Sometimes doing the right thing isn't always the thing we want to do.
Hey Tony from Miami, Ron Paul is older then McCain, but age has nothing to do with this election, or any election for that matter. Ron Paul is older, yes, but a million times wiser and way better to lead this country then McCain. The new book is a great read for anyone, regardless of political affiliation.
The majority of the world wants Ron Paul to be the next US President.
Ron Paul 2008!!!!
P.S. HOW COME few has changed their mind on either side, no matter how much the corporate media and their neocon masters try to crucify Rev. Wright for tell ing the truth?
Racists and fascists are what they are because they are too stupid to understand what they are. they are incapable of changing their minds and hearts.
note to Senator Obama.
We fully understand that you have to lie to those dummies,
in order to save them (and the entire humanity) from themselves.
they know not what they are doing. think about Jesus christ. hime being crucified for them hasn't done much good either.
God knows you're trying your best as a politician.
Michele Obama will make an outstanding first lady, intelligent, well spoken, committed and principled!
He wouldn't be so huge if he wasn't the only candidate filling the empty civil libertarian void in this country. I am not one of his supporters but NO candidate has been bold or brave enough to straight up denounce big brother in the United States. That scores huge points with me but since he isn't that concerned with environmental issues I never became a supporter, and frankly I don't know how so many young people side with his position on this, which is to leave ecological health of the planet in the hands of corporations.
I love the photo on the back of The Revolution: A Manifesto; Dr. Paul looks very Presidential. He is older than McCain and I hear he runs 3 miles a day plus is one of the rare "Bionic Congressman" in the Legislature, having two cybernetic knees. He has publicly claimed one of his few vices is "Chocolate Chip Cookies" and "Exercise".
McCain looks like he was eaten by a wolf and shat off a cliff.
