- Kombaiyashii, on 10/12/2008, -23/+275Why isn't Obama talking about this kind of stuff? Obama seems just like McCain only easier to look at. How digg falls for McCains tauntings into supporting Obama, I don't know. Same *****, different *****.
- iloveobama, on 10/13/2008, -23/+240Ron Paul is 1,000 times better than McCain or Obama
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -9/+179We need a congress full of men with such passion for their country and people as Ron Paul.
- Parisjune, on 10/12/2008, -25/+164Ron Paul 2008!
- Urbanninja622, on 10/13/2008, -14/+152Why isn't Ron Paul President? Oh right he's totally sane and usually right.
- dalnet22, on 10/13/2008, -13/+105I pretty much digg everything Ron Paul says.
- dialup56k, on 10/13/2008, -11/+98ron paul is amazing, how does digg like him though, he is the opposite of obama in basically every way...
- Trekhawk, on 10/13/2008, -17/+102And this man won't be president why? Ohh right, kook. Thanks MSM.
- MRoCkEd, on 10/13/2008, -6/+70See Ron Paul's new site:
http://www.campaignforliberty.org - badfish0116, on 10/13/2008, -4/+64"The bold effort the present central bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it."
Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States (1829- 1837). - iamvahe, on 10/12/2008, -10/+69Lesser of two evils mentality at work.
- bigbangbuddha, on 10/13/2008, -3/+49Ron Paul is the only good thing left about the GOP; they need to kick all these neocon religious zealot crooks out and get the party back to its original vision and character.
- iamvahe, on 10/12/2008, -4/+422012
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -7/+44Gentlemen please stay on topic regarding the World Bank. I've been a supporter of congressman Paul's too but it's getting old seeing the same ***** comments "Stupid sheeple didnt vote RP." "Ron Paul 2008!"
Face it. Republicans didnt vote for him and hes not going to be president. Please keep objective criticism to the topic at hand instead of saying the same groupie *****, thread after thread. - viker7, on 03/30/2009, -2/+38To learn more about the World Bank:

Also read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins.
I hope people start realizing that the organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Council on Foreign Relations, and Federal Reserve were created for the sole purpose of making the rich richer and taking away the freedoms of the common man. - btschul, on 10/13/2008, -11/+39Ron Paul is 1.000 times better than McCain AND Obama put together.
- filldeviant, on 10/13/2008, -5/+32This man has my write-in vote.
- apena89, on 10/13/2008, -3/+29exactly.
- roxgod666, on 10/13/2008, -10/+31Have any of you even watched the video or are willing to actually say what you liked about it?
"Ron Paul 2008!"
"Ron Paul is 1,000 times better than McCain or Obama"
"I pretty much digg everything Ron Paul says."
Is talking about how great he is just a new meme? - vbullinger, on 10/13/2008, -2/+23Foreigners swap commas for periods in numbers.
- bigbangbuddha, on 10/13/2008, -4/+24Because he's honest and focuses on the issues, not party politics. Obama is better than McCain in this respect, but RP is better. I am not a dem but I support Obama in this election, mainly because I have more of a disdain for his opponent and more so the people behind his opponent. If it were between Ron Paul and Obama though, it would be a much closer call for me, I don't honestly know which I'd vote for. But statements like this speech though go a long way to gaining my trust. Too late now but In the meantime... Ron Paul 2012!
P.S. IMHO, he should have just ignored the primaries and gone independent after that, he would be disgracing the other two by now. - gahal, on 10/13/2008, -0/+21Ron Paul is the only reason I am still registered Republican. That man is what Republicans should be.
- psykiv, on 10/13/2008, -4/+23In before the biggest burrial in digg history.
- Heywoodj, on 10/12/2008, -4/+23Voters with one tenth of that passion might suffice.
- thailand1972, on 10/13/2008, -1/+20Voting for Obama is like saying you prefer your car to be sprayed blue instead of red. Same car.
- SchmuckofNI, on 10/13/2008, -0/+17Lets hope there is still a republic by then!
- Kyora, on 10/13/2008, -0/+17@ rotundo:
Yes, I'm sure that people who vote third party don't think their candidate will actually win, but that's not the point. What's important is that when the results come out, hopefully more Americans will realize that holy *****, not EVERYONE is going to vote Democrat or Republican, there are more than two choices.
Besides, we're supposed to vote for someone who represents OUR ideas. When you vote for someone who's just "better than the alternative" but doesn't support your ideas, you might as well give up your freedom to choice. Why would you vote for someone who won't represent what you believe in?
Also, I think it's pretty obvious that there is no chance that McCain will win, with the 10%+ gaps in many states. Does that mean that a vote for McCain is also a wasted vote? - PabloMac, on 10/13/2008, -0/+17"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

DOWN WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE! - MRoCkEd, on 10/13/2008, -3/+19Finding out whether you agree with Ron Paul is simple. Do you believe in the constitution? If not, Ron Paul probably isn't for you.
- dungbeetle, on 10/13/2008, -0/+16The election isn't everything. He has the possibility of becoming a much better avenue for change than the president ever could because he's not tied down to such a label.
- Mutton, on 10/13/2008, -3/+19Not to burst your bubble, I love Ron Paul as much as the next Digger, but Dr. Paul has endorsed Chuck Baldwin and has asked his supporters not to write him in as it would dilute the votes of third party candidates that are actually running for president and trying to break the two party duopoly.
- treelovinhippie, on 10/13/2008, -5/+21Like Southpark says, you're choices are either a giant douche or turd sandwich.
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -8/+24Don't choose evil. The Left/Right two party system pits those who should be working together, against each other... Which is even more absurd considering your very valid point, that they are essentially the same anyway!
Vote for the common man and woman, vote for your constitution, vote to save your rights before, well... There may be no coming back from where we're headed if we don't slow this train down now.
Nader/Gonzales 08 - psion01, on 10/13/2008, -1/+17Odigity, I'm sorry, but after reviewing the Constitution Party's platform (http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.ph ... ), I find too many uncomfortable references to Christianity. Perhaps Baldwin's not a theocrat, but his party's platform comes too close to describing a Christian theocracy for my tastes.
- GarrettGrimsley, on 10/13/2008, -2/+18Hopefully not blindly.
- Loudpipe, on 10/13/2008, -0/+16I wish I could digg this about $850 billion times.
- DiscoLando, on 10/13/2008, -1/+16A whackaloon who has been predicting the entire slate of economic woes we're living through for years now. Considering his propensity for being right, I'd hate to hear what adjective you'd use for McCain or Obama.
- eatsushi, on 10/13/2008, -1/+16I just watched CNBC about what American Gov is about to do. We are getting the World Bank??? One world, One Government, One Currency....no freedom. Buy guns, lots of it. Basic animal living is about to seem a whole lot better.
- btschul, on 10/13/2008, -1/+15Oh god damn it.
- dalnet22, on 10/13/2008, -1/+15nope
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -0/+14The GOP treats Ron Paul worse than R Kelly treats a 14 year old. He should bail on that stupid, warmongering, civil-rights-trampling, big-spending party.
- SchmuckofNI, on 10/13/2008, -2/+16More like buried for Obama.
- rmkonves, on 10/13/2008, -2/+15So wait, what's your handle again? Decide who you love I suppose.
- odigity, on 10/13/2008, -1/+14Alright, we're sorry.
You have to admit, though, that it's pretty rough seeing Paul run and seeing the majority of America ignore him. Hard to get past that pain. - btschul, on 10/13/2008, -3/+16There should be a button below "Is datdammonfoo being offensive? Report it" That says "Is datdammonfoo being a troll? Report it".
- mcsenget, on 10/13/2008, -2/+15If supporting natural rights is "too right" then i don't want to be wrong!
- Broadwayrowe, on 10/13/2008, -1/+14Read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and "The Secret History of the American Empire" by John Perkins. He outed himself as a former CIA operative planted in the private sector who was one of the big players in the game Ron talks about. Whenever a ruler was voted into power who the US didn't agree with (i.e. Chavez, Torrijos), we'd send in guys like John who under the guise of the good-willed American, do "economic projections" telling the leaders you need power grids, water, sewer, etc and award the contracts to US companies. To do all this, John would float an unrealistic World Bank loan to the country that in no way it could repay. When the country defaulted on the loan, the real plot unfolded and we'd hold them over a barrel for oil rights, UN votes, etc. When they resisted and John's efforts didn't work, he sent in assassins who'd take them out (Torrijos). When that doesn't work, that's when we unleash the final measure, something like the Iraq war. Stunning reads...both of them.
- rotundo, on 10/13/2008, -0/+13Very few people think that "all Republicans are evil". If a good Republican comes along, most of us are perfectly happy to admit it. That is what happened with Ron Paul. So your notion that everyone here hates Republicans is demonstrably false. What is true is that most Republicans represent a very nasty set of public policies and we tend to speak about them as a group, even though there are certainly some great individuals in the party.
