Who is this guy, Ron Paul? We, the grassroots supporters of Ron Paul raised over $6 Million Dollars in the past 24 hours. This broke all previous fundraising records of any presidential candidate in the history of this country.

Ron Paul's campaign war chest grew from around $10 Million yesterday morning to over $16 Million this morning. This money didn't come from global corporations, the filthy rich, or special interest groups. It came from little people like you and me in parcels of $25 to $100 donations. This should speak volumes and the national media is going to be forced, soon, to start paying attention. Heretofore, it is obvious to me that news outlets like CNN, CNBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX are playing down Ron Paul's legitimacy due to corporate advertising dollar pressures.

Dr. Paul is also the most Googled candidate and here's a youtube of Google's interview of him. It is long but well worth the time. We need you to listen and study up on all the candidates. Find the real one; the one with a clear message who is not pandering. Join the Revolution, today. Your offspring's future depends on it.

Dr. Paul did an excellent job considering what he is up against. I've never seen Tim Russet be such a pompous ass before. On every media interview that Dr. Paul has been on, the media guys do all the talking, giving Paul's answer time maybe 10% of the question time.

It has become quite clear and obvious that the corporate controlled media is not going to give RP a fair shot. After all, who pays those enormous ad fees? Look at who owns NBC .... General Electric! Look at what most of the TV commercials are advertising .... drugs! Merck, Pfizer, Glaxo, etc. Paul wants to open our pharmaceutical market to true free trade which would cut the prices we pay in America by over 60%.

Big corporations ... global corporations hate Ron Paul. The reasons are obvious ... they might have to play ball fairly with us American suckers.
The fat cats and government bureaucrats hate Ron Paul because he'll put many of them out on the street to forage like the rest of us.

Ron Paul has a very steep hill to climb but his grassroots support is unbelievably strong. Let's not forget all this caucus voting crap represents less than 1% of the actual voting populace. The caucus system itself is corrupt and because this is so, the polls we hear about are based on pure bullsh1t, too thin a slice of the real America. Basically, what I'm saying is that this system allows for too few to decide for the many, what choices we'll have at the voting booth.

RP is saying that he is 99.9% not going to run on a 3rd party ticket. Many, many folks want him to. I predict that if he doesn't, he will be the biggest write in candidate in the history of presidential elections.

Bottomline: American is and has been a country for and by the corporations. In the past few years, it's gotten much worse, and will continue to worsen on this status quo route. In essence, corporations, own our congress and write our laws. Probably everyone who works for a major global player, and all government workers (except the military) will vote against Ron Paul.

The fight to take back our country for the people has to start somewhere/sometime, however. And this is as good a time as any.

I wonder if he would make a much larger statement and success by being a third party candidate. You know a lot of polks are pretty much PO'd by what everyone else has been shoveling for years with no end in sight.
Personally I'd just love to see an Independent like him go in office, the big office.

Catch me a couple of signs and I will put them out somewhere.

This jerks me off and proves that FOX News is nothing more than a Rupert Murdoch political machine and that when a small handful of millionaires corner the market on what we Americans see and hear, democracy goes out the window in true Orwellian fashion.

Bloomberg is no different as he prepares to manipulate our choice of candidates through his media empire and his billions of dollars.

Murdoch also recently bought the Wall Street Journal.

The bottom line is our election process is becoming more and more a fix via corporate interests contolled media and government; not the most qualified candidate, but he/her with the most money/power.

So when Murdoch or Bloomberg elects a president, is that president not beholding?

Young voters across the country are flocking to do their part in electing Ron Paul.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/01/AR2008010102235.html?hpid%3Dartslot&sub=AR

DES MOINES -- The Ron Paul boys have come to this great state by bus and borrowed ride, with long johns under their jeans and little in their pockets.

All day, they go door-to-door in the snow on behalf of their hero, the libertarian and 10-term Republican congressman Ron Paul. At night, they sleep in YMCA cabins, one of which has no hot water.

"A lot of guys in a small area," says Jeff Frazee, the Paul campaign's youth coordinator. "Doesn't smell the best."

During spare moments, which are rare, the Paul boys watch guy movies such as "Transformers" and wish there were more girls around.

Oh well, says Adam Kirschner, 23, of Ozark Christian College, leaning against a wall in the campaign office. "We didn't come here for the chicks."

"Speak for yourself," says Eddie Siegel, 18.

As per CNN: the RNC has threatened to pull it's sponsorship of the upcoming FOX Republican Debate scheduled for this Sunday if Ron Paul is excluded. New Hampshire pollsters have already projected that Ron Paul will pull more caucus votes than Fred Thompson and possibly John McCain. Even faced with this obvious evidence that Ron Paul has broad support and appeal, so far FOX has not given in to RNC demands or return RNC calls. They did put out a press release that their studio was too small. Fred Thompson has been a paid contributor to FOX news in the past.

Boycott FOX and their sponsors.

from a ron paul email

For those of you who haven't yet heard, Ron Paul took over 10% in yesterday's Iowa caucus, handily beating Rudy Giuliani and finishing right behind both Fred Thompson and John McCain. This despite that Rudy Giuliani made more visits to Iowa than Ron Paul. And, entrance polls showed that Ron Paul took first place (29%) among independent Republicans!

Why did they put in 29% of independent Republicans in there? Paul only got 10% of the standers.

It is AMAZING to me how the cable and traditional networks are systematically excluding Ron Paul from the debates and the "fray." Heck fire, he's polling better than Fred "What Am I Doing Here?" Thompson in EVERY instance! Last night's Republican "forum" was a joke - just simply a joke. If I were considering any of those candidates before last night, I would surely not after watching it! Mitt Romney is an arrogant rich kid - he reminds me of one or two of those I know. Reverend Brother Governor has convictions I respect, BUT he obviously does not leave room for the fact that our faith does not ENTITLE us to anything - a lesson it took me a long time to learn. John McCain learned much from his life experiences, but not enough to know that people really do want CHANGE in America. Rudy is a fading star. Truth is, he's probably being more honest than anyone at this point and his proposals are the most sensible. Ron Paul, albeit not the master communicator, is a breath of fresh air in the "hallatosis" world of politics. If whoever gets the nomination has any sense at all, he'll be on the ticket as VP. But I don't look for it to happen!

Hawkeye
January 7th, 2008, 11:01 AM
Excellent read and commentary, Gus. We are getting the same "take" if that means anything. Indeed, I find it interestingly hilarious that even after FOX's exclusion of Ron Paul in their Fair and Balanced Forum last evening(j/k), Ron Paul leads Fred Thompson by almost double the points in 80% of the polls I've looked at this morning, and he's running right there with Governor 9/11 or far ahead depending on which one of these polls you want to believe.

I'm still having trouble with these polls and I've never seen such disparity in the 15 or so I perused this morning. If one averages all these polls, they do seem to agree that McCain and Obama are on top.

I lmao last night when Jay Leno joked about the NH primary, saying Obama received 57% of the youth vote, 37% of the female vote, and 100% of the black vote, a guy named Larry.

As an aside and in FOX's face, be advised that Ron Paul will be Jay's guest tonight on the Tonight Show.

Personally, I find myself in a strange political position in that I cannot see myself voting for any Republican candidate other than Ron Paul, and that goes to say that if I vote, and I certainly will, I would have to vote for a Democrat or more likely write in Ron Paul in protest.

Make no mistake that Paul will run as a third party. He would not commit on MTP when asked if he was going to stop if he didn't get the Repub. nod. He's gonna be on the ticket, one way or another.

The more I watch all these debates and the news coverage, Demetri, I suspect you're right again. He is on a political roll that will only grow as it goes along. And, the more he makes Hillary have to FIGHT, the worse she looks. I believe it's over for her and Edwards.

As far as the Republicans, it's still a toss-up, but I'm beginning to feel that Romney is going to hit some kind of stride soon and it will be over for the rest of the Republicans.

And that, right there, is what's wrong with America.

People keep putting up with the crap they're given instead of doing something.

Most of that stems from the feeling of not knowing what to do.

You're not alone in feeling the way you do. A LOT of Americans feel this way. We have to compromise something in what we believe when voting for someone. I don't know that it's always been this way. But probably not. I think we feel this way because we feel there are only two choices: Republican or Democrat. We've been trained to think that no one else can win. However, if EVERYONE decided to vote a different way...

I think that's one reason why Paul has so much support. He's tapping into that well of unsatisfied, rebellious America that is brave enough to look and vote for a difference.

Question is, how do we get the rest of America to take that leap of faith?

I thot he did well on Jay Leno. He doesn't have the stage presents that some of the other professional bullsh!tters do and that takes some getting use to. Generally, Americans are more use to seeing or hoping to see some sort of super human figure who projects a confident stage voice. Ron is rather meek and one thing I've grown to like about him. He seem humble, not boastful.

Its time for Guli and Fred to drop out. They're wasting FOX's valuable bandwidth and contributing to the climate change with too much hot air and CO2

I really want to like Ron Paul. On paper I see much to like, but when he talks, I cringe.

I allowed myself to get past that with President Bush in 2000 and 2004. I don't think I'll test the "third time is the charm" adage.

I agree that Dr. Paul doesn't have the polished stage presents as most of the others but actions speak louder than words. His voting record in congress, is command of economics, and his not taking lobby money and not participating in the lucrative Congressional Pension fund and returning part of his congressional budget to the treasury each year since he's been in office, defines the man.

This morning on MSNBC on "Morning Joe," there was a bunch of college guys there at the location for the broadcast (a cafe in South Carolina). They interviewed one of them. Turns out they were there working, free of charge, for Ron Paul!

Made me "juiced up" again!

Don't forget the GOP Debate tonight on MNBC. If given the opportunity, Ron Paul will introduce his comprehensive four prong economic plan to save our failing economy. Since this news release hit the streets earlier today, look for MNBC will give the other candidates the opportunity to address the failing economy. They will (especially Huckaberry) make like its their idea. Of course, McCain's aim will be to scare us and make it look like Ron's idea regarding the military will be detrimental to our long-term well being. Romney will be handsome and look presidential while talking shat. Rudy will look like the cross-dressing idiot he his and will pander to the retired jewish community, and the great multitude of hispanics in Florida.

The following is a REAL and lasting economic stimulus package; not just a shot of feel good dope in our arms.

btw: The local rEVOLution committee to elect Ron Paul offered $100 for a banner ad on yourhattiesburg, today. That made me wonder if the other candidates might also follow his lead?

Ron Paul is the Gold Standard in Leadership! I wonder if Alan Keyes would be a good running mate for him? http://www.alankeyes.com/issues.php


The Blind Boys of Alabama`s "Thank God Almighty, I`m Free At Last" would make a wonderful theme song. (I just heard them singing it on Conan) :) I am thinking past (or trying to) winning the GOP nomination, and on ahead to the disarming of the competition in the November Election. This sort of assumes that the two outsiders Paul and Keyes would get along politically. Such a partnership could be fortuitous.

"We will continue to allow ourselves to bleed financially and literally for many years to come before it is recognized that governance of diverse people is best done by diverse and small governments_not by a one-world government dependent on the arbitrary use of force determined by politically correct reasons and manipulated by the powerful financial interests around the world."- Dr.Ron Paul

Follow the money. Who owns the news media by virtue of advertising money spent. Don't count Paul out. Don't settle for lesser of two evils. Send a message. Talk to your friends and neighbors. These bastards are insuring the demise of our children's future.

One form of message being sent to Mississippi and other state's GOP legislators is, "....since you people with sway in the GOP choose to ignore a true champion of Republican ideals and principles, we hope you enjoy the new Democratic Administration, coming soon".

I've found that the right side radio show only will mention him when absolutely necessary...I admit I miss part of the show time and again, but the only time he is really brought up is when someone calls in or they talk about a debate and the only thing that is said is "RP only got 11 minutes."

If you are a big RP supporter I urge you to call into the Right Side radio show and let your voice be heard (if they'll let it be heard).

I can't keep up with all of it (the who done what or where the candidates stand) my time just won't allow right now.

The smartest thing would be to turn off the TV and radio brainwashers. The internet is your last vestige of hope when it comes to finding facts about how they voted on what, what they've flip-flopped on, who pays for their dinners and vacations, who owns them, etc. And, even this takes the time to do lots of digging, vetting, and corroborating. Little pieces eventually make the puzzle picture whole and clear.

Some day after its too late, there will be lots and lots of time for due diligence. in the meantime, just follow the Pied-Piper. Can ya dig it now, can ya dig it now? LOL side to side
