Great article by Ron Paul

[Lilly Marlene]

Thank you TVoffBrainOn,
There is scarcely a Monday I don't go over and read Ron Paul's weekly column on the website "Texas Straight Talk".

As some might have guessed he is the candidate I will be supporting.

It's good to look at candidates other than media-hyped Hillary and Obama.

You never spoke a truer word !

Given that the mainstream media is literally owned by five or six "persons" (in the modern sense), we have to go outside it to see how the land lies or to get anything resembling an informed choice.

Many people do not even know who Dr. Ron Paul is yet, and they scoff at his chances.
But they are not factoring the Internet into their reckonings.

In straw poll after straw poll on the Internet, Ron Paul sweeps ...so hugely in fact that he has been deleted as a choice, in several of the more corrupt ones. One of them - horserace08.com - even accused his supporters of "cheating" although the design prevents anyone from voting more than once. They actually began to subtract votes from Ron Paul right in front of our eyes.

In any case, all of those keyboard wankers will be making it out to the polls in '08, so I think a lot of people will be surprised.

yeah, i agree with your views. this is very true

i would vote Republican if Ron Paul won the nomination... too bad that won't happen.

Defeated before you even try, huh ?

I don't share your unfounded pessimism.
I intend to switch to the Republican party BEFORE the primaries ...like millions of others.

This is our opportunity to stop p***ing about things and actually change them.

millions of others? what's that assumption based on? certainly not the mid term elections.

It's not unfounded pessimism, it's grounded realism. Ron Paul is not going to win a primary election. Ron Paul has as much chance of winning the nomination as Dennis Kucinich.

Care to make it interesting, Mr. TVOBO ?

Take heart my friend ...you have not factored the Internet into your assessments.

Wasn't Ron Paul reelected in the mid-term elections ?

Thanks TVOff

[A word from Ron Paul]

Dear friend,

Since I announced my candidacy for the Republican nomination for president two weeks ago, the response and activity have been exciting. Thank you for your enthusiastic support!

After the day's business is complete here in the U.S. House, I will head to Phoenix this evening for two days of campaigning. I'm looking forward to a busy and productive time there, as we had recently in New Hampshire. Some of our activities in Phoenix will be an appearance on the Charles Goyette show on KFNX; a meeting with the editorial board of the Arizona Republic; a luncheon meeting with several Arizona state legislators; an interview with news anchor Jim Sharpe on KFYI; a fundraising reception; and a brunch meeting with nearly 100 Ron Paul 2008 activists. In addition, I will be interviewed on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO tomorrow night.

On April 11th, our campaign goes to Iowa for two days. More on that trip a little later.

As I mentioned, the response and activity is exciting. Several videos are available on our YouTube channel. Thousands of people are watching those videos every day. Activity on our MySpace grows daily. The number of requests for radio and television interviews increases by the day, as do invitations for speaking engagements. Our web site is updated each day with new items posted on our Daily Update page.

Thank you again for your enthusiastic support. Please encourage family and friends to join our campaign. Ask them to visit www.RonPaul2008.com to be a part of our Hope for America.

Sincerely,

Ron Paul

I thought so.

This website is getting kind of dead isn't it ? Half of the threads had their last post yesterday.

Hi,

Did you see Ron on HBO last night. I think Bill wasted Ron's time. Check it out on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo6KIusCBoU

While I am not a big fan of the republicans.... I must admit that Ron Paul is quite unique, not many presidential hopefuls would go up on national television to state how they believe in limited goverment and individual freedom as boldly as he has done here. His criticism of the CIA is just astonishing.

He's excellent on spending, taxes, and domestic economic policy. He would've been great during Clinton's time. However, I can't vote for him today -- in the age of terror.

Ron Paul is indeed quite the character. I only wish I could see him as president just to see what kind of things he would actually implement and whether they would work. Overall he sounds like he would be one of the most revolutionary presidents of all time. However, I am not sure if it would be for the better or for the worse.

I agree. That's why I said he would've been good to see during the period where Clinton was president. Now major wars to worry about, a flourishing economy on account of the internet/techonology/dotcom boom, relatively stable domestically.

But this time period, in my estimation, is too serious to go experimenting with someone like Mr. Paul. Furthermore, he has no foreign policy experience or any ideas/plans for that arena.

I would like to see him in a Cabinet of someone like Newt Gingrich.

Hello VoteRonPaul08,

Welcome !!!
I don't have HBO so I am grateful for your link; I'll be looking in at that very soon.

Warm regards,
Lilly

Newt Gingrich ?

Newt Gingrich ?

My favorite. I also like Tom Tacredo a lot.

[Lilly Marlene]

I find that interesting because those two are 180 degrees apart on the principle issue of Tancredo's campaign (illegal immigration).

For me, the dream ticket would be Ron Paul/Tom Tancredo.

[Grounded]

I saw the video.

Ron Paul is a hardcore libertarian...

He scares me.

:p

Does he scare you because you suppose he will not stop until social support programs are phased out in this country ?

Newt? Are you kidding? You'd never see the government cut if you elected Newt. The guy's too afraid to lose an election to actually stand up for what he alleges to believe in.

And the Scrooge quote was, oddly enough, made in reference to things that were paid for by tax money.

[Abraxis Axis]

I thought someone here said he was an Unknown? seems most people here not only Know who he is but what he stands for..............looks like the Libs will get my vote again

Ron Paul speech on the House floor 5/23/07

He's the only guy talking about important issues in american politics while the rest of the republicans are busy with "9/11, terrorism, reagan, gays, abortion" rhetoric.

[qalam]

True that and that is why the repubs are pulling all the stops to try and silence him. Paul tries to talk reality and the rest want to keep the BS flowing. He will have a huge uphill battle.

You cannot be serious. This quote might apply to most members of the Republican (and Democratic) party but Newt is not one of them. He's actually the only politician who I've heard give actual clear, detailed ideas to the issues of today, unlike most politicians who just give rhetoric (read: Barack Obama).

I trust Newt as much as I would trust Hillary.

[Truth-Bringer]

Turns out the guy in charge is a senior advisor to the McCain campaign... Surprise, surprise. Give these guys a piece of your mind.


June 19, 2007


Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will host a presidential candidates forum on Saturday, June 30th in Des Moines. Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo will participate.

Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn’t invited.

We heard about this forum from numerous supporters in Iowa who asked why Dr. Paul was not going to participate. Those supporters assumed that Dr. Paul was invited.

The campaign office had not received an invitation so we called this morning; thinking we might have misplaced the invitation or simply overlooked it. Lew Moore, our campaign manager, called Mr. Edward Failor, an officer of Iowans for Tax Relief, to ask about it. To our shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate. And when asked why, Mr. Failor refused to explain. The call ended.

Lew then called Mr. Steve Sheffler, president of the Iowa Christian Alliance, to talk with him. Mr. Sheffler did not answer so Lew left a message. He has yet to respond.

Why are the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance excluding the one Republican candidate who scored at the top of every online poll taken after the MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN debates? Why are they denying Iowans the opportunity to hear from the Republican presidential candidate whose popularity is growing by the day?

We couldn’t get answers to these questions from Messrs. Failor and Sheffler. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Their contact information is below.

It's ironic that on the same day we learned the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance excluded Dr. Paul from their candidates forum, we received a call from ABC News confirming Dr. Paul’s participation in its nationally broadcast August 5th debate to be held in Des Moines.
