It all about moderation, if we don't have regulation, its too easy for the major companies to be anti-competitive and simply provide poor quality products.
"He opposes: Universal Health Care, The Kyoto Treaty, Net Neutrality, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, and minimum wage increase."And if you would take a second to research why he opposes those things, you proably wouldn't have any grief with him. I can't even believe you included the minimum wage in that list; you obviously have no economic knowledge. Please do yourself a favor, and read Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.
But if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. And if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their a**es when they hop.Wait, what was the point of making statements of the form "only if the world were mostly the same, but entirely different in a relevant way"? Does pretending the world might be more accepting to Ron Paul if only it were completely different convince anyone to listen?
Yes, you do spam Digg. You post articles. Your headlines spin the article to make it look good for RP. And then the same people (mot just random people) go back and Digg the articles. And its an organized effort. That is spamming my friend.Ron Paul is the one who is so partisan its crazy. On every issue but the war in Iraq, he is through and through Republican. If he didn't want to be partisan, he'd run as an independent, not as a Republican.
Whadya know. Look at the latest CNN/USA Today poll for Aug 6-8 at <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_Republican_Party_%28United_States%29_2008_presidential_candidates">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_Republican_Party_%28United_States%29_2008_presidential_candidates</a>Look only at the candidates who participated in the Iowa straw poll. CNN/USAToday has them at:Romey 12%,Brownback 3%, Huckabee 3%, Paul 2%, Tancredo 2%, Thompson 1%, Hunter 0%So about 23% of those who responded to the USA Today / CNN Poll supported one of the candidates who participated in the Iowa Straw Poll. Paul's support of 2% in the USA Today / CNN poll is about ***8.6*** percent of that 23% total support registered in the CNN poll for the Iowa straw poll participants. So Paul got ~9% in the Iowa straw poll against the other candidates who participated in the poll, and about 8.6% in the CNN poll against other candidates who participated in the Iowa Straw Poll. Conclusion? Drum roll please ... Paul's numbers stayed exactly where they were! There was no "2% to 9%" jump. Against the same competitors, he scored almost exactly the same, at roughly 9%. All the RP supporters can run out and proclaim a great victory, but this shows that against the candidates he competed against in the Iowa poll, he did just as well / poorly as he had in the national polls against the same competition.
URGENT WARNING!!! Many states are very quietly moving up their deadlines to register for the primaries in an effort to hurt Ron Paul's chances. Some only have a week left so if your registered as a democrat, go to your courthouse immediately, and for those of you planning on voting for Billary, take a good look at what the dems have done for you since they took back congress. Ron Paul is the only non-establishment candidate with a chance and if he isn't elected, mark my words: YOUR CUSHY WAY OF LIFE IS OVER!

I own my lawn, and my mother passed away years ago. Thanks for generalizing me, though!

This was from August! Old news. Also misleading as Ron Paul's public support was much much lower back in August.

Ron Paul is an insignificant gay homosexual.
