NEWS FLASH: RON PAUL IS STILL RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. HE HAS NOT, I REPEAT NOT LEFT THE RACE.
FURTHERMORE, IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM, BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE CALLED UPON TO DEMAND YOUR VOTE BE COUNTED!!! THIS GOES FOR SUPPORTERS OF HUCKABEE, ROMNEY, AND OTHERS WHOSE NUMBERS SHOWED LOWER THAN WE KNOW TO BE TRUE.
THIS ELECTION IS A SHAM. ALL STATES SHOULD BE DEMANDING A RECOUNT AND A MAJOR REVISION OF THIS CORRUPTIBLE SYSTEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. TRANSPARENCY IS VITAL TO THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
MARK MY WORDS: IF YOU DO NOT HEED THIS MESSAGE, YOU WILL REMEMBER IT AND WISH YOU HAD.
I have come to the conclusion that our country is under the influence of a wicked evil spell that makes people believe out-and-out lies and conceals with illusions the truth behind our illustrious field of presidential candidates, among other things.
I guess we've all become so used to choosing the lesser of evils that most of us have determined that there can be no other way... there can be no truly honest, decent person in office. It's really sad that when such a person arises the people are too jaded to believe him, or not smart enough to understand that what he's trying to tell them is for their own good.
Instead it seems that no one cares about the illegal nature of our "money" and the fact that the IRS is unnecessary along with the DEA, NEA and other programs that suck money away like Hoovers without yielding results that could even marginally be described as successful.
If you privately contracted with someone to complete a job and the results were less than satisfactory, would you continue to pay that organization MORE, or would you tell them to hit the road? The government keeps swelling, keeps sucking more of your hard-earned income to pay its all-too-numerous employees and produces pathetic results.
If this were a private corporation it would have long since gone out of business. We NEED an economist to set this country straight. No, as some have said, it's not essential that the president himself be an economist, but an economist is certainly better-suited to lead us than the other choices, given the experience each is so proud to display.
Dr. Paul has a proven track record and a clean background. He has worked tirelessly his entire life for the benefit of others. He did not shrink from his duty when military service was required of him nor does he flinch in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Stalwart, unwavering and steadfast, like a rock he stands while the shifting sands of public opinion blow around him. He says the same things today he did over 30 years ago.
I have waited all of my life to discover this man and his message. If I had one wish it would be that I could go back in time and tell myself to find out who he was while I was a kid in school. It would have made a difference in my life. I would not have grown up knowing that things were "wrong" but not understanding what or why. I would not have grown up thinking that the "wrongness" came from within me rather than from the tangled web our government has woven around us. Oh, what a difference that would have made.

If he does not expect to why at this late hour does he bother to continue?
I am a strong believer in the constitution, but I do not take Ron Paul's ideas as 100% absolute truth (meaning he may be wrong, not that he is lying).
I agree with him he should run for re-election if he wishes to stay in government... thats his only chance.

somehow thirty years of "well, it's a good start" just ain't satisfactory.
Good for you Lydia, I think Paul is making a valid point, (long as it doesn't put Hilarity in office!)
Blessings always...

The Federal government is rife with un needed and wastful "departments" and "programs" that is just what a Constitutionalist like Ron Paul would clean out.
Non humanitarian aid to foreign countries is a waste of time and money. I has never bought us friendship. Special trade agreements only isolate other countries that would like to trade with the US. The CIA has exceeded its mandate and needs to be cut down to size and refocused. The DEA as far as the so called war on drugs is a total failure. The Dept of Education is an albatross around the neck of education.
We as a Nation NEED Ron Paul. The fact that he is also running for re-election in his district is of no concern. We need him in the Oval Office and all of us should send him a letter or sign a petition to draft him as an Independant candidate if he don't get the nomination. We the People need to show him and the government that we are tired of the BS and want our Constitutional Republic back.
I'm voting for Hillary, but I would like to see more of Ron Paul. Maybe he could be in Hilarry's cabinet, to work on some very important things.
His expertise would be very valuable.
Lydia, I'm very sorry to see that you've fallen under that spell. Please tell me...if Ron Paul didn't write the Ron Paul newsletters, who did?
Your first link led to one man's personal opinion that Ron Paul didn't write the articles, but it didn't say who did.
And your second link led to another man's personal opinion (not an official position held by the NAACP) that Ron Paul isn't racist.
I thought you said it had been proven that Ron Paul didn't write those nasty newsletters?
Not that it really matters, in terms of his unsuitability to be POTUS. He allowed those words to be published in his name, and he and his family profited from them. That's disgusting.
If he does not expect to why at this late hour does he bother to continue?
This is a sign of a good planner.
He obviously doesn't put all his eggs in one basket, and he does not hide the fact that he is prepared to follow other paths if he does not win the election. I like the idea of a president with food foresight. Why would you *not*?
Maybe it's the same spell that causes many Ron Paul supporters to be unable to accept that the many racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, and conspiracy-mongering (to paraphrase James Kirchick in The New Republic) comments in Ron Paul's various newsletters are excellent indicators of some of the reasons he will never, and should never, be President of the United States.
Wil - you certainly like to bring up things to create strife rather than solutions.
Homosexuality is not a political issue requirement.
Racism is only still around because people like you and the media keep opening old wounds to fester.
Racism actually should have faded away after the conflicts of the 1960's. It has been 40 years. Most people 'get over' these things and move on. The media and people like you seem to always 'keep the hate alive'. I submit that you are the problem. I think these folks would have long ago made a positive progression and fewer would still be raging civil arousals.
Remember, only those who do *not* believe in God would forget that we are the descendants of a single pair of people....Adam and Eve!
If you believe in Darwin, then watch a pool full of pollywogs...They do not battle over who is what color....Grow up!
The issue of homosexuality should be a private, personal thing.
There has been no need for this to become a widespread morality epidemic.
Homosexuals should be like all the rest of humanity....keep it at home, keep it personal, and DON'T make the rest of us have to accept that way of life as 'normal'.
I do not appreciate it being present in nearly EVERY broadcast TV show.
This is an issue that has become an obsession.
It is NOT an election issue.
It will NOT change how our country is run.
It will NOT lessen the fact that it is aberrant behavior in all clinical research...and I do NOT have to accept it being forced on me or my country.
Where does it end? Tell me!
Good for you. I think it's great to see fellow Americans getting fired up and politically-engaged, even if I don't agree with them about the candidate or party they support. I've been aware of Ron Paul's message for 20 years now. I agree with him on some issues, and respectfully disagree on others. But I've also learned that he's not really that much different from other politicians. Just like them, he plays fast and loose with the truth when it suits him. Like he's done with the newsletters. And the earmarks.
"A few misplaced words won't stop it."
A few misplaced words? Come on, Lydia. I thought you wanted to talk about the truth? Eric talks about people who "keep the hate alive." After reading these excerpts from his newsletters, I'd say that's exactly what Ron Paul was trying to do.
Here's what Ron Paul (or the Mystery Author, if you prefer) had to say about Martin Luther King:And here's are some comments he (or the Mystery Author) made about homosexuals and AIDS:Poisoning the blood supply? If that isn't hate-mongering, I don't know what is.
And one more example of Ron Paul's (or maybe another Mystery Author), this time from a sales letter trying to get people to subscribe to the newsletters:Race war? Race war? Wow, hate-mongering and scare-mongering. For profit. Nice.
A few misplaced words? I don't think so.
Meanwhile, other candidates have made extremely disturbing statements which are whitewashed and ignored while the MSM does its best to bury the truth, the message Ron Paul and the rest of us will give our lives to reveal to all.
People have always tried to stir up race wars, etc. Dr. Paul's message is that we should be seen as individuals instead of as members of this or that group - and that we should all treat each other with respect.
Speaking of the messages pasted above... I have not studied Dr. King extensively. Is that stuff true? If it is... perhaps we SHOULDN'T be honoring him. I tried to look it up, but of course it's hard to tell what the truth is on the Internet...
Those newsletters were published for more than a decade, Lydia. As I said before, I don't think it really matters if he wrote them or not. Personally, my guess is that he didn't. But he did let people think he'd written them. And he did make money from the subscription fees paid by people who thought he'd written them.
Also, lets remember who the "associates" were in Ron Paul & Associates -- not only Ron Paul's good buddy Lew Rockwell, but also Carol Paul (Ron's wife) and Lori Pyeatt (their daughter). If Ron didn't know about the crap being published in the newsletters, what about Carol and Lori? Were they actually doing anything to earn the money they received, or were they just on the payroll as part of a tax scam? Again, either way it doesn't look good for Dr. Paul.
"I have not studied Dr. King extensively. Is that stuff true? If it is... perhaps we SHOULDN'T be honoring him. I tried to look it up, but of course it's hard to tell what the truth is on the Internet..."
If it were true, you'd think Ron Paul (or the Mystery Author) would've provided some proof, right? As I understand it, the claim is that the proof is the FBI records, which are sealed until 2027. I don't know about you, but I think if you're going to accuse somebody of something, especially something as repugnant as being a child molester, you ought to be able to prove it. To do otherwise would be dishonest and dishonorable. Yet Ron Paul either wrote the accusation himself, or allowed it to be published in his newsletter. Why?
It's more or less irrelevant, too. Even the MSM doesn't bother barking up that tree. My point is, and will always be, that whether Dr. Paul is elected or not, the R3volution and doctrine will live on. It is a movement that will not lay down and die. A movement to bring back the freedoms we've allowed to be stripped from us... and to stop Uncle Sam from taking any more of them.
This is a republic, based upon a very well-written Constitution... and we will not stop educating people about their miseducation and the misinformation they've been force-fed since birth. The people deserve to know who's lying to them and just how big those lies are as well as what that means to their lives and to future generations.
Even if that were true, it's not about comparing skeletons, is it? Ron Paul was supposed to be different. But he's not. He may play the game a little differently than other politicians, but he's still playing the same game. We're still being asked to choose between the lesser of two (or more) evils, and I see no reason why I should consider Ron Paul to be the lesser evil.
"It's more or less irrelevant, too. Even the MSM doesn't bother barking up that tree."
I think that's mainly because the mainstream media knows that Ron Paul isn't a mainstream candidate who will get the votes of mainstream voters, and because it wasn't likely to be a story of much interest to mainstream media consumers. If Ron Paul had ever been a serious contender, that story would've been everywhere, and I believe it would've been the end of his political career.
"My point is, and will always be, that whether Dr. Paul is elected or not, the R3volution and doctrine will live on. It is a movement that will not lay down and die. A movement to bring back the freedoms we've allowed to be stripped from us... and to stop Uncle Sam from taking any more of them.

I don't see a lot of education going on. Accusing people of being under the influence of some evil spell that makes them believe lies isn't anything I recognize as education. I admire your passion for your candidate, and for your movement, but to be honest, I don't see many Ron Paul supporters doing much educating, or providing many convincing arguments to get people to join their movement or vote for their candidate.
I don't see Ron Paul as the lesser evil, or any kind of evil at all. That's what MAKES him different. The other candidates all want to perpetuate the same old broken-down system that isn't working.
I think you're mistaken about the second paragraph. If there were truly any teeth to the story, the media such as it is would have seized upon it, since they love controversy. The mainstream media, whether you want to believe it or not, does not choose what to show its viewers based upon what they think those viewer want. It's the other way around: they work very carefully to develop angles that lead viewers to the conclusion they want them to reach.
If you believe that the media is honest and unbiased, I've got a nice bridge for sale...
Wil, you see what you want to and won't see what you choose to ignore. That does not mean that people's eyes are not being opened every single day. No... it may not be THIS article in particular that does it... but the movement WILL continue. We don't need your attention to exist or flourish. But you do make it clear what we're up against.
