- nlurker, on 03/27/2008, -6/+36Ron Paul is still in congress. Write to YOUR congressman and tell him/her to listen to what Ron Paul is saying.
- swansend, on 03/27/2008, -5/+30He is still in this race despite what people see from MSM.
- ConstitutionGal, on 03/27/2008, -2/+24According to the MSM, Ron Paul was some sort of nutcase for saying these very same things just a few short months ago. Now that his predictions are coming true, many people are finally realizing that he's not the nut they thought he was. I think that just maybe Dr. Paul speaks too intelligently for most voters to comprehend. Sadly, they'll begin to understand when they can no longer afford gas or groceries because of our fiat monetary system.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -3/+24What is crazy is that when Ron Paul was warning everybody, most were saying, "It won't happen! We have safeguards in place. He's a crackpot. etc...." Now many of those same people are saying, "He was only stating the obvious.".
LOL What a bunch of douchebags. Well there is a second chance. Don't vote for the annointed two in November. Vote for somebody who will respect the Constitution. - qh4dotcom, on 03/27/2008, -3/+19As usual, Ron Paul is right
- flohoff60, on 03/27/2008, -6/+22Conservatives deserve a choice. McCain is not a choice. All three canidates running will sell the same thing they just sell it in a different package
- tajitj, on 03/27/2008, -5/+20DONATE TO THIS VIDEO TO GET IT ON THE AIR IN PENNSYLANIA.
http://hightidepromo.com/ - badassninja, on 03/27/2008, -2/+15No matter what happens on voting day I am Writing in Ron Paul and I beg all of you to do the same. If for no other reason then voting for the best man is always the right thing to do.
- AZMom, on 03/27/2008, -1/+11Better still. call call call, just like they did last May, June over the immigration bill. They shut the phone system down in Congress and turned the whole thing around. It really was amazing considering nothing like that has happened in Congress in forever. We need to tell them we're mad as hell and that none of them will be returning if they don't get off their butts and tell the Pres. and the Feds that this insanity must stop. Then we need to call again and again and get at least 10 others to do the same.
- Herbi4, on 03/27/2008, -2/+12Emac has been listening to Peter Schiff. Ron "Austrian Economy" Paul is now fighting for delegates. I pray something happens.
- syroncoda, on 03/27/2008, -4/+14because you all misunderstand the control politics has on mainstream media. the people with the most money buy the most time on the tv. ron paul didn't have money to invest in tv advertising and so they ignored him until it was necessary to say something. now the things he's saying are waking people up and so the news chooses to notice once more.
pathetic system if you ask me though. - newguy96, on 03/27/2008, -3/+13Ron Paul is the true conservative candidate.
MCCain is a CFR/Isreali puppet. - Daz3, on 03/27/2008, -1/+11The exact same thing happened with the Iraq war, he spoke out about it before the invasion and stated unheard of figures - all of which turned out to be true.
- badassninja, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10Even if they refuse you a pen, write his name in, in blood if you have too.
- smacksaw, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10Maybe Ron Paul isn't the best messenger, but the message rings true. Everything in this article is dead-on. It's not a Republican or a Democrat problem. It's an American problem and a world problem.
Somehow, somewhere, people need to be responsible about this stuff. But if not, the USA will cease to be and we'll figure a way to go on. Maybe our states will rise as nations of their own? If the gov't did collapse, I think we'd all recover rather quickly. It's more of a burden than a benefit these days if you think about it. And really, that's what Ron Paul is all about. Returning power to the states. Maybe we won't do it by electing him, but it will happen anyway when our gov't collapses? - jayliewow, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9One commenter says:
"No matter what happens on voting day I am Writing in Ron Paul and I beg all of you to do the same. If for no other reason then voting for the best man is always the right thing to do."
And One Commenter replies:
"Yes, that would be great. Then we'd be stuck with McCain you idiot. think I am wrong? Look at the 2000 election and the effect Ralph Nader had."
The day Americans start becoming less "strategic" about their voting will be quite a welcomed day in American politics for me. Frankly, I refuse to choose to vote for someone just so I can make sure the other guy doesn't win the election. This is actually a far more idiotic way to choose a candidate. I too will be voting for Ron Paul. Flame me for saying this if you like but honestly, if Americans cannot honestly and earnestly research candidates and their positions and continue to rely solely on what the TV tells them about the candidates, thus allowing the media to CHOOSE FOR THEM, we deserve what we'll have coming. The problem I have with all 3 of the "media" anointed choices is that not a single one of them convinces me they will take their oath to uphold the Constitution with any seriousness whatsoever. Thanks for the name calling, but I'm voting for the Constitution and Liberty.
I enjoyed this article, but I'd like to see more real journalism happening in America. Rather than helping candidates sling mud at one another, entertaining though it may be, I would like to see some MSM journalists actually THINK about what they are reporting on each candidates policy. I think the first question they should be asking is... does the Constitution grant government the authority to do that? If they would at least do that much, this country might actually stand a chance of making it another 100 years or more. - badassninja, on 03/27/2008, -3/+11You make me sick. Paul was the USA's only hope. Come voting day, even if I have to write his name in, in blood, I'm doing it.
- gsxraddict, on 03/27/2008, -3/+10I really admire this man.
- EclipseGSX, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6"The $406b we pay annually in interest on the $9t in federal debt alone would rank as the world’s 30th biggest economy."
That's just embarrassing. Maybe we should start an undeclared war on debt. - inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+7I notice that most of the old bury brigaders have been largely inactive lately. Where's bingoboner when you need him?
- muckemuck, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6funny thing.. I haven't seen a SINGLE Obama, Hillary, McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, Guiliiani, Romney, Edwards, etc.. etc.. ad on TV (I'm in NC) and yet they all got way, way, way more mentions on the national news (your theory doesn't hold up here..). Paul spent far more on TV ads in some of the early states than McCain and yet McCain was all the media would talk about. Go to journalism.org and spend some time looking at the reports on the percentage of stories per candidate since November. "0%" is what Paul gets for most of November through March despite having many rallies with over 1,000 people each, raising more in 4th quarter than any other Republican, raising more from active duty military than any of the Democrats, etc..
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -3/+7Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)
HE WOULDN'T DO THIS ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO THE STATES. DC IS A WARD OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortions. (Apr 2000)
ABORTING A VIABLE ENTITY IS WRONG. IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS KILLING A PREMATURE BABY.
Voted YES on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info. (Sep 2002)
FEDERAL FUNDS SHOULDN'T DISCRIMINATE. PLUS, HE WOULD IN THE END VOTE AGAINST THE BILL TO FUND IT. HE JUST DECIDED ON THE BILL OF HOW.
Voted NO on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Jan 2007)
NOT A FEDERAL REALM. CALIFORNIA IS DOING A GREAT JOB ON THE STATE LEVEL. THAT IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE FUNDED.
Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005)
NOTE THAT TECHNOLOGY NOW EXISTS TO INDUCE REGULAR CELLS TO BECOME STEM CELLS.
Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortion except to save mother’s life. (Oct 2003)
WOULD YOU KILL A BABY BORN A MONTH OR TWO EARLY? THESE ARE VIABLE BEINGS.
Voted NO on $84 million in grants for Black and Hispanic colleges. (Mar 2006)
HE VOTES NO AGAINST ANY FEDERAL FUNDING FOR COLLEGES...IT JUST SO HAPPENS THE BILL WAS GEARED TOWARDS ONE OR TWO ETHNICITIES. ISN'T THAT KIND OF RACIST IN ITSELF? FUNDS FOR CERTAIN RACES AND ETHNICITIES? IT SEEMS LIKE THE AUTHORS OF THE BILL WERE RACIST.
Voted NO on allowing vouchers in DC public schools. (Aug 1998)
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY FUNDED
Voted YES on vouchers for private & parochial schools. (Nov 1997)
COMPETITION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Voted YES on scheduling permitting for new oil refinieries. (Jun 2006)
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OIL REFINERIES. NO NEW OIL REFINERIES HAVE BEEN BUILT SINCE THE 70´S. ALL ARE RUNNING AT CAPACITY.
Voted NO on starting implementation of Kyoto Protocol. (Jun 2000)
NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY. PLUS THE EARTH BEGAN COOLING DOWN LAST YEAR.
Voted NO on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids. (Apr 2003)

Voted YES on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. (May 2004)
WITH OUR PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS. RIGHTFULLY SO.
Voted NO on establishing "network neutrality" (non-tiered Internet). (Jun 2006)
DO YOU WAN'T GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE INTERNET? THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A JURISPRUDENCE OF REGULATING SPEECH ON THE NET. REMEMBER THAT NEW COMPANIES ARE SPROUTING UP TO OFFER WIRELESS ACCESS AND SATELITE ACCESS. THERE IS STILL COMPETITION, AND THERE WILL BE AS LONG AS THE GOVERNMENT STAYS OUT OF IT AND DOESN'T REGULATE IT. - SoyJames, on 03/27/2008, -1/+51. It's not Fox News, it's a blog.
2. I'm still boycotting FOX News on my TELEVISION, where they "make" their money.
3. Even FAUX News is correct sometimes, just like McCain, Hillary and Obama are correct sometimes, and Ron Paul is wrong sometimes.
4. STFU, troll. - Daz3, on 03/27/2008, -5/+9"which Primary did he win?"
Argumentum ad populum ("appeal to belief", "appeal to the majority", "appeal to the people"): where a proposition is claimed to be true solely because many people believe it to be true. Simply because people didn't vote for him doesn't mean he is not right.
"anti-abortion"
He believes it to be a state issue.
"pro-religion in government"
In what way exactly?
"liar of a candidate"
When has he lied? - MrCobaltBlue, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Very true, he could run ads all day if he wanted but nothing beats the free coverage McCain, Romney, Huck, Giuliani, Obama and Clinton got.
- kp2575, on 03/27/2008, -4/+8I love that Ron Paul has gotten some people into politics that otherwise would never have been. Sure they can be attracted to his Libertarian stance on things. But he is a candidate that never would have had a chance, ignore the whole media decides the candidate things. Look at some of the race baiting he has done in his Ads and some of the racist things he has been tied to, although he denies racism is part of libertarian ideals he has been attached to some pretty questionable things in the past.
His internet support and minor groundswell show that we need to change the system to allow more parties into the dance. - MrCobaltBlue, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4buried because i am not looking forward to my freedoms disappearing.
enjoy socialism toolbag. - inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+6Now if they are already there, I can see that; but that is a function for each individual state. California allows it and funds it, and advances are being made. There is no need for federal funding. There isn't a constitutional basis for federal funding of embryonic stemcell research or any stemcell research.
Why would the woman wait that long to have an abortion after being raped? To wait until it is viable is kind of stupid. 6 months (a half of a year) is a long enough time to make such a decision. Into the third trimester, there is indisputable interference with another body. Partial birth abortion is a completely different scenario from 1st or 2nd trimester abortions. When you start getting into the 7th and 8th months, it becomes infanticide.
I am all for allowing contraceptives to be sold and discussed openly in public. I get pissed when I see a family having a ***** of kids that they can't afford. Really with the wide-availability of contraceptives, after having a load of kids, the mother and father should be found negligent if they can't afford what they have and they willfully continue reproducing. Yeah accidents happen, but it seems like in US society much of it is negligence. Teaching about them in school is one thing. Handing them out at school is kind of innapropriate, but it would be a good thing to have contraceptive vending machines at bus stops and near bars...etc. Its not like they are that expensive at the walmart to begin with.
As an American in Mexico having seen people having huge families that they can't afford (with minimal governmental assistance), in part due to social and machismo taboos on contraceptives, having wide access is a good thing. That is gradually changing here. So great...I guess we would agree on contraceptives. Now as far as early abortions...the abortion pills...etc....I would be perfectly fine if the state would allow that.
Abortion really isn't the most pressing issue in the US anyways. We have a monetary crisis, an attack on our most basic civil liberties, and a war mongering situation.
BTW Would you agree with killing indigents that are suffering?
If I don't answer after this one, I am in bed. LOL This is time consuming. I will check this tomorrow during downtime. - inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+6It wouldn't be any worse than being stuck with Obama and his wealth redistribution and world policing schemes.
- gcsmit6, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5We know the score, we know mccain is winning, and we know our government is corrupt and full of criminals. i want a better country for me, my kids, and you. I understand you aren't very bright so you have to point to the scoreboard. Unfortunately, you seem to be the majority of this country. If you could speak to people like adults and actually listen without yelling out, "what primary did he win", then maybe there will be hope for this country. But to make such ignorant comments only sets this country back more. I sure hope you and the rest of jesusland figures it out before it too late. (which it probably already is)
- newguy96, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5tell me which primary was NOT rigged through diebold and mass media manipulation? NH? California? Louisiana? Maine? SC? FL? Nevada? Washington? Michigan? Virginia? Mississippi? Iowa? yes those for starters. Ron Paul should have won all of them but the military-controlled media and Diebold made sure he didnt.
- Daz3, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4"ron paul didn't have money"
He set fund raising records.
"to invest in tv advertising"
TV advertising and mainstream media coverage are two very different things. - TastyWheat, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Abortion should be legal, Bush has done a terrible job and illegals should get amnesty are the views most commonly held by McCain supporters. The conservatives were splitting the vote while the moderates voted McCain to the front.
- newguy96, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3do one better: persuade a McCain delegate to vote for Ron Paul.
- muckemuck, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5The problem is your argument wasn't intelligent. Post an intelligent argument and it won't get dugg down.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5Brief response: Obama still refuses to criticize world policing. He talks about humanitarian mission with the military (remember the Somalia debacle?) and even going into Pakistan. As far as being able to "afford" his plan, yes it could be paid for, but at the cost of still expanding the government and not taking care of the mounting debt. This is where we disagree. I beleive that it would be better to have these social programs designed, funded, and administered on a state and local level. Besides, that is the constitutional solution. It is really imperative that there be some significant cuts in the federal budget so that the trust fund shortfalls can be reversed and the debt paid down without taxing or regulating the economy any more than it already is.
I am sorry, but I can not in good conscience vote for Obama, Hillary, or McCain. If Ron isn't on the ballot as an independent or third party candidate (he most likely won't be), I will choose a third party candidate. As you said, dissent is normal.
Good night everybody, and please vote your conscience....for whoever that may represent. There is no need for name calling, but at the same time it is disconcerting that most voters treat it like a horse race. If Obama is who you agree with most, I respect your vote. If people were to just vote their conscience, third-party candidate wouldn't be spoilers. I am going to vote my conscience this November. - avengingturnip, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4It always about you isn't it? You narcissists are all the same.
- KyleFace, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3At least in my home state of NH, the paper trail was tampered with. Boxes were found cut open, and there were VERY large amounts of ballots missing. We still need to push hard for a better recount despite it being obvious, with all the missing ballots, it could not have been an accurate recount.
- muckemuck, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4ssshhhh.. swansend has been reading up on how Lincoln won at the convention and thinks that if that happened in this day and age there wouldn't be riots and people getting shot and stuff... and he's thinking the GOP is stupid enough to let more than a few Paul supporters actually go to the convention. And.. Paul is still technically still in the race. He hasn't dropped out. Paul says he's staying in just to spread the message (which oddly enough is working now that the media allows him on shows and talks about him).
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4Obama would practically "f*ck" things up just as bad with his added social welfare spending and world policing.
- wc3452, on 03/27/2008, -3/+5You sir, are my hero
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4With partial birth abortion you are talking about taking the life of a being that could survive outside of the womb.
Of course. If the federal government didn't have its reach with the funding in these issues, religion wouldn't even be an issue.
As I said, new technology now exists to convert regular skin cells into stem cells.
A tiered internet isn't possible with the competition that exists. Remember that there are new companies laying infrastructure, most of it now for wireless. - muckemuck, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4Read up on what Obama says about Iran. He'll gladly attack it. And he hasn't said "total withdraw" - he'll keep bases operating in Iraq.
- lvp1138, on 03/27/2008, -3/+5He's still out trying to get a girl... but can't because of how ugly he is.
http://www.trollhunters.org/content/bingobongonyjp ... - nymphetamine, on 03/27/2008, -4/+6This one time, Ron Paul (praise him!) told me that freedom was popular and I was like, "ORLY?!" And he was like, "YARLY!" And then I gave him all my monies.
- MrCobaltBlue, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2http://www.haaretz.com/hasite/images/iht_daily/D02 ...
- MrCobaltBlue, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2So what will Obama do for the economy? And don't say subsidies because where is the money going to come from?
