- EvansHall, on 09/02/2008, -26/+448I have to grin and snicker every time someone "consoles" me about Ron Paul not being in the November election.
They just don't get it. It's not about the November election, it's about taking our country back.
The Ron Paul Revolution has just started! - cvrst, on 09/02/2008, -11/+189Doesn't matter what you think of Ron Paul's personal views. There is one overriding factor here: HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO EVER TALKED ABOUT FOLLOWING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. End of story.
There are ways to change America without being on a major party ticket. - katie212, on 09/02/2008, -10/+170The traditional conservative, "Ron Paul"
- kehvyn, on 09/02/2008, -14/+125Has any of the McCain supporters even looked at McCain's voting record? McCain votes like a democrat. If you are republican, the only choice is Dr. Ron Paul. Just look at his voting record.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -7/+115Article from the above link:
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s candidacy for president through the Republican Party may be at an end, but the Texas Republican is still a thorn in the side of the Bush administration and the new world order. He’s also a thorn in the side of Barack Obama and John McCain, as his renowned “Rally for the Republic” grows
His rally initially set at the University of Minnesota’s 11,000 seat Williams Arena was changed to accommodate the enlarging crowd to the Target Center. The Target Center Sept. 2 will be the official launching of the “Campaign for Liberty.” This will follow two full days of events. For an agenda see campaignforliberty.com.
Shunned for the GOP Convention because he refused to endorse McCain, Paul — with the support of thousands — has prepared this “counter convention” to coincide with the Republican National Convention Sept. 1-4.
Paul is expected to deliver a dynamite speech Sept. 2. “If they expected us to retire quietly ... they’re in for a surprise,” Paul said. He pledges to “shake up the political establishment. This will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the constitution and sound money in American history.”
In addition, there will be a booth in support of Chuck Baldwin, Baptist Church pastor, running for president through the Constitution Party. (The Constitution Party gave full support to Paul during his campaign.) Paul and Baldwin share a common message for restoration of this once great nation in a time of crisis. Both ask you to help to take back America for the American people: (973) 764-0923 or www.chuckbaldwinlive.com or www.constitutionparty.com.
Target seats are filling fast. Advance tickets for the Sept. 2 event from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. can be purchased at the center or Ticket Master.

Cannon Falls - King0007, on 09/02/2008, -3/+93WOW....I am watching CSPAN2...how can you argue with Ron Paul? You can't. He is right!
- swrostmore, on 09/02/2008, -3/+71The fact that McCain is actively pursuing Ron Paul for his voter base is evidence of how desperate McCain's campaign has become. They must not like the internal poll numbers they are seeing...

- harrisbradley, on 09/02/2008, -7/+50Yeah, Dr. Paul didn't just change my outlook on this election. He has change my outlook on every election for the rest of my life. I think differently about politics, and the state in general, because of him.
- kabootle, on 09/02/2008, -25/+68Hello ! hello! Hello.....
- numb, on 09/02/2008, -2/+43If McCain won't change his policy on the Iraq War (among other things) there is no way Ron Paul would accept.
- Step1Mark, on 09/02/2008, -1/+37Not that Dr. Paul would agree to that but It would still be fairly interesting. They would finally have to put him in a debate and not cut him off or have Giuliani giggling like a little girl while he answers.
- oldhick, on 09/02/2008, -5/+37How can you characterize Ron Paul supporters as sheep? We're not the ones following the heard... We're not the one being led around by your MSM.
We're the ones who think independently and have little regard for YOUR MSM. Why are we wasting our time? Are you narrow minded and simple minded enough to think that having Ron Paul as President is our only goal? It is not.
Communicating a message and inspiring change are what we are looking forward to. Success for us doesn't come in one election cycle and may not come directly from Ron Paul's movement. But what Ron Paul is doing and what Bob Barr is doing, is showing that you can have a voice and that there are alternatives. We need to move forward, we must push forward, we must end the corruption of the two party system. - BlackJackJester, on 09/02/2008, -2/+33I just hope someone is available to fill RP's aging shoes in the coming decades.
- unitedkronos, on 09/02/2008, -14/+41If McCain really wants to make the election interesting he'll replace Palin with Paul.

- AnarkeIncarnate, on 09/02/2008, -2/+25Yes, the same views he would not force anybody to abide by, as it would be up to the local governments to decide....::gasp::
- inquiksilver, on 09/02/2008, -6/+29RP is a Genius.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -29/+51Ron Paul 2012
People are too in love with Obama to see the light for 2008. - Bith8654, on 09/02/2008, -6/+27@COINTELPRO, can I get a source link?
- BlackJackJester, on 09/02/2008, -3/+24My $100 was proudly spent to raise awareness about this single-party system we're becoming. Call it an investment to the future, or a charity donation (as I believe campaign donations are tax deductible), or even money lost to the wind. The government wastes far more than my measly $100 donation. If my investment doesn't pay off, then I've got bigger problems than being out a Benjamin.

- univers3man, on 09/02/2008, -1/+20Just nod if you can hear me.
- Step1Mark, on 09/02/2008, -3/+21I wonder how long we have to wait for his son(Rand Paul) to step into the light and finish what his father started.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -17/+35Funny - Juan McCain's voting is NOT that different from Obama's.
Both will grant Amnesty - which means more people the taxpayers have to support!
Both voted for the UN Global Poverty Act - Sounds good until you learn that it will cost the taxpayer 865 trillion dollars over a ten year period, while our homeless citizens including Vets get NOTHING!
Both voted for the LOST Treaty - A UN bill that will rob the US of her sovereignty and tax the American people.
Both are gun grabbers - Gun Owners of America - Obama scored a D-, while McCain scored a fat F-
There is so much more, but I will stop here as the list would be endless. - Step1Mark, on 09/02/2008, -2/+19I think it was worth it. Not all changes happen over night. I hope you are not being sarcastic because Ron Paul is one of the last decent men in congress. It doesn't matter what party you follow ... you cant still appreciate someone like Ron Paul.
- cnot3, on 09/02/2008, -0/+16Nope, with only every ***** article on digg being about that, I guess I missed it.
- cnot3, on 09/02/2008, -3/+19I can't wait to be done with class so I can watch the coverage of the rally. I brings a small ray of hope to my heart every time I hear this man speak.
- WafflesID, on 09/02/2008, -2/+17I'm all for obama myself as I just don't agree with Ron Paul, but I only see this Ron Paul movement as a GOOD THING.
I'd be nice to have a viable 3rd candidate for president. - dave122, on 09/02/2008, -2/+17Eh, I'm a ron paul fanboy, but you're still right. I don't think anyone ever 'really' thought he would win the presidency, but he sure as hell got his message out - you can't deny that.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -0/+14I'm thrilled to finally have an honest person I can endorse,
and contribute to. Shame their are almost none.
What wrong with this country. - richmomz, on 09/02/2008, -1/+15Viva la Liberty Revolucion!
- Iztikeit, on 09/02/2008, -5/+19Then you legitimately do not recognize the fundamental problems with our country.
- cswake, on 09/02/2008, -1/+15Feel free to quote such legislation and post his explanation on why he authored it. (Besides the repetitious claim that he wants religion running Government)
- swoopdog, on 09/02/2008, -2/+16im getting tired of the RSS feed on my desktop being a bunch of Obama propaganda.
Obama sneezed: Millions rejoiced.
Ron Paul has a plan not just a bunch of crap rhetoric for uneducated middle class white women to feel better about the inequality in the world.
im sick and ***** tired of you people bashing Ron Paul seriously try and refute something he has said instead of character attacks on his supporters if you little trendy bandwagon democrats want to say something half way intelligent I'll be at least surprised. - Altotus, on 09/02/2008, -0/+14Why? He's a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist and a retired flight surgeon for the Air Force, isn't he? Maybe he should be called "Captain Paul"? I'm not sure.
Personally, I only go by "doctor" if I'm teaching/giving a seminar/applying for a job. I any other case, I consider it pretentious for a Ph.D. to be called "doctor". However, I have a number of friends that are MDs and they seem to feel differently and prefer the honorific.
Heck, even the members of the Congress have given him the nickname "Dr. No" because he's constantly voting against their bills. - an0nymous, on 09/02/2008, -5/+19Yeah. A statement that outrageous requires a citation. What was the name of this watchdog group?
- Dejital, on 09/02/2008, -0/+14Is there anyone home?
- Diced, on 09/02/2008, -0/+14Currently linked on CNN's Politics front page - http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/09/ ...
I don't agree with some of his specific policies, but the free debate of ideas is essential, and its about time we start to see real coverage of the Libertarian Republicans. - TheOther1, on 09/02/2008, -9/+22I think COINTELPROs watchdog group is "Baseless Accusations for Change!"
- dood, on 09/02/2008, -2/+15The President has little power if the Congress opposes his every plan. The only way the libertarian cause (or libertarian-leaning Republican cause, whatever you want to call it) is going to move forward is to elect libertarians as Senators and Representatives.
I agree with OMGWTFROFLMAO: aiming for the presidency was a miscalculation. Even if Paul became President, the establishment that he is rallying against would overturn any vetoes he'd issue, rendering his actions moot.
Look at how many people have said they would have voted for Paul, but are now voting for Obama. Ask them, who are they electing to represent them in Congress? - Evilblobs, on 09/02/2008, -1/+13He's a Doctor and majored in Biology.
