Hi - Thanks for speaking up for Paul. Think he is the one real chance to shift the debate in this country. There are a couple of people circulating hatchet jobs on the guy.. unfairly. I posted on that.

Maybe there could be a way to link up with pro Paul blogs.. LR

Ron Paul is a libertarian who knows that nobody’s going to vote for a libertarian. ;) I like him, even though I also disagree with him on a number of issues – at least I know he’s going to stick by what he says. I saw him speak a few years ago at the NH Liberty Alliance dinner, and he was quite good. He’s definitely a nice change from all the double-speak and backpeddling all of the other candidates (and politicians) do on a daily basis. I think more and more people are waking up to the realization that both major parties are the same, and both are harmful to our well-being – I just hope people will decide to do something about it soon.

Personally, the only thing I trust less than the internet for information, is the established media / "normal" channels. They were bought and paid for a long time ago, and most people, if they are honest with themselves, know that.

But either way, who cares about polls? You can ask leading questions and doctor the results most anyway you'd like them. People should vote for what they think is right, in my humble opinion. If they are just interested in voting for whoever is in the lead, what's the point of voting? It doesn't matter who is ahead.

I’m not going to get into the politics of this but I’ve been seeing a lot of internet push for this candidate which looks like it’s coming from his supporters rather than the general public. Polls being forged, etc. The ‘real world’ numbers for him nowhere reflect his supposed popularity on the net. Maybe the reports of poll fixing is just hype, but if so he has to make his real world numbers reflect.

Tom Cornwell May 24th, 2007 at 9:25 am I would suggest that if one wanted to get a good fix on where Rep. Ron Paul stands on the issues, simply take a look at the principles on which the Libertarian Party is based. Read the Constitution of the United States. Read the Bill of Rights. Those conceptual thinkers who can look at the principles put forth can derive a likely outcome of Dr. Paul’s actions. This is why I like Ron Paul and this particular philosphy of politics/government – it takes all the guesswork out of it. Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you want government agencies to handle all of your problems, if you want never-ending new laws to quell your fears, if you want the government to continue (de)educating your children. Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you are not willing and ready to put some time in getting educated about and active in government at the local, state and federal levels (there is a lot to be undone). Don’t vote for Ron Paul if you don’t want to have to take on any work and responsibility for your liberties after walking away from the voting booth… If you want the status quo, vote for ANY other candidate, as it makes absolutely no difference in that case. This ‘freedom’ thing can be a very bitter pill to swallow to the majority of Americans, I believe.

First time in US history that far-left liberals will be joining the GOP — so they can vote for Ron in the primaries. Love it.

Im a far-left Clinton-loving liberal. And I like this guy. When he says “The reason they’re attacking us is because we’re there” and all the other retardicans go “OMG! You cant say that! That’s like, treason!” you gotta love it.

A breath of fresh air. If Ron Paul were elected president, there would be hope for America. If not, I despair of her. The "other guys" are all the same.

Ron Paul is a real person. He actually cares about saving our constitutional republic. I think the hour is much later then anyone would want to believe…
