Paul racking up primary votes
With the Republican primaries over as well this week, Ron Paul easily passed the 1 million vote mark.
The Texas congressman racked up more than 45,800 votes in the final three contests on Tuesday. He finished second in all three to John McCain, the presumptive nominee, with 22 percent of the vote in Montana, 17 percent in South Dakota, and 14 percent in New Mexico.
Paul is trying to win a speaking slot and platform influence at the GOP convention in September, when he could prove a fly in the proverbial ointment for McCain's coronation.
"Dr. Paul's grassroots supporters across the country are doing a tremendous job spreading our message, winning votes, and laying a strong foundation for the future," campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said in a statement today.



Ask McCain to apologize for saying "I hate the gooks."
It is so sad for a "Christian" right party to be suffering from the question of: to war, or not to war. I wonder what Christ would say of Bush and McCain.
Ask McCain to stop moving his lips, because every time he does, we all know he is lying, and is no different than Bush. McCain's speech was so sad in Louisiana, Ron Paul has a much higher attendance at his rallies, or speeches than McCain could ever dream of, maybe that is why the GOP is so afraid of Ron Paul speaking at the National Convention in September 2008.
Ron Paul is the only change this nation needs, sad thing it is not change, but abiding by our Constitution, which our government has drifted so far away from.
I've been a member of a "meetup group" since early this spring. I am amazed how these people (I'm one of them) have reacted to the media blackout and the nasty stuff from the neoconned G.O.P. -- it has simply encouraged them to fight even harder to see Ron Paul received his recognition as the real leader of the real G.O.P -- not the Party now calling itself the "Republican Party" -- we will take our Party back, we will take back our government, we will restore the Constitution, get out of mindless and illegal foreign wars which have no bearing on national well being, and, while at it -- rid this nation of the private corporation that controls its money supply -- the FED. Ah, and getting rid of a myriad parasitic agencies and the restoration of individual rights might also be on the Ron Paul agenda.
McCain-Fiengold on campaign finance,
McCain-Kennedy on immigration,
McCain-Daschle on tax hikes,
McCain-Gore on carbon tax,
McCain-Lieberman on Iran,
McCain is a Republican in name only,
A Democrat at heart.
Paul is a true Conservative,
with the Greatest voting record in US Congressional history.
Christians can't vote for Obama or McCain. Both of these men are pro-choice. Christians cannot support people who support murderers.
Ron Paul is the only candidate left who christians can vote for. If you vote for McCain, be prepared to tell God why you voted for a candidate who supports murderers.
Go Ron Paul! the whole world is behind you - don't give up the fight for what is right!
A quote from Ghandi:
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."
Ghandi managed to expel the super power of British empire from india.
Here's for the sake of humanity that Ron can do the same of the Neo con New world order conspirers (including Obama who's economic advisor is a member of skull and crossbones!)
God Speed!
I know it sounds like a long shot, and by no means do i think that the two think in line, but hey to all you CLINTON SUPPORTERS.:
VOTE FOR RON PAUL NOW. WRITE HIS NAME IN ON THE BALLOT IN NOV. AND COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH!!!
It's obvious that the mainstrem media is neocon controlled. However, this generation of internet users have freedom to choose based on their own concoiusness rather than the unfair and unbalanced views of news executives that are hand in hand with the neocons. If you go to goole labs, you can see the statistics of media coverage for Clinton/Obama/McCain on correlation to the number of internet searches for Ron Paul. Ron Paul Wipes the floor clean over ALL of them based of these statistics. It's obvious that the Media are pandering to other forces than that of the people.
Ron Paul FTW!
The Revolution has only just begun.
Any candidate that cancels the Patriot Act gets my attention right away. Apparently, that is not you, John McCain so it is no way Jose to you. It is too bad because Obama is weak on Economics and he is a fool to trust government for our children's private healthcare and safety. The libertarians will once again get my vote. Harry Browne RIP.
We all know that Saddam Hussein was the 'butcher of Baghdad' but do we all know/remember this. From libertarian republican news sources that American allies of liberty like Ron Paul favor....
Excerpted from http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0802c.asp
Remember, support for the first Iraqi war was reportedly all drummed up and a fabrication as well.
"In September 1990, the Pentagon announced that up to a quarter million Iraqi troops were near the border of Saudi Arabia, threatening to give Saddam Hussein a stranglehold on one of the world’s most important oil sources. The Pentagon based its claim on satellite images that it refused to disclose. One American paper, the St. Petersburg Times, purchased two Soviet satellite “images taken of that same area at the same time that revealed that there were no Iraqi troops ‘near the Saudi border — just empty desert.’”
"Support for the war was also whipped up by the congressional testimony of a Kuwaiti teenager who claimed she had seen Iraqi soldiers removing hundreds of babies from incubators in Kuwaiti hospitals and leaving them on the floor to die. George H.W. Bush often invoked the incubator tale to justify the war, proclaiming that the “ghastly atrocities” were akin to “Hitler revisited.”
"The Pentagon based its claim on satellite images that it refused to disclose."
"After the United States commenced bombing Iraq, it transpired that the woman who testified was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador and that her story was a complete fabrication, concocted in part by a U.S. public relations firm. Dead babies were a more effective selling point than one of the initial justifications Bush announced for U.S. intervention — restoring Kuwait’s “rightful leaders to their place” — as if any Americans seriously cared about putting Arab oligarchs back on their throne. (A few months before Saddam’s invasion, Amnesty International condemned the Kuwaiti government for torturing detainees.) "

The GOP, often described as the party of "ideas," has morphed into the party of "ideals." Whose ideals? Those of Christian warmongers? Those of elitist colonialists and banksters and internationionalist corporations? Those of rigidly conformist establishmentarians Hell-bent on preserving the status quo?
Well, many Republicans knew there was big trouble when the party couldn't even criticize Bush and Cheney, who have done absolutely nothing productive in 7 years. I read the "conservative" web sites, and see the same sputum being put out over and again: "they" have kept us "safe." From what? Some lowly countries in the mideast that can't even mass an attack force against the U.S., that can't even send a "dirty bomb" into the U.S. because they are not nuclear-capable?
Well, I'm a 20-year Republican stalwart who says, mutiny. Throw these guys over the deck, keelhaul them, send them to GITMO, I don't care. But make them talk. Since Bush and Cheney began, there has been absolutely nothing good to come to the U.S. Let the shotgun-wielders and knuckledraggers defend these two idiots, and the demon seed that is McCain.
Really, I don't like any of the mainstream choices available. I'll be looking for someone different this time around.
Ron Paul will never win because to be quite blunt, the GOP is way beyond reform, way beyond hope, way beyond rescue.
Conservativism is dead, replaced with protestant fanatics who treat the world as one big global ministry. This is why they want to engage in ruinous wars irregardless of how it damages our economy or our power. Holy wars must go on, for whats truly important is the kingdom of heaven.
Ron Paul is the only candidate, of either party, to actually have a good idea of what our country needs at this point. McCain is simply trying to please both parties. Look him up on YouTube! He has no base. And neither does Hitler, uh, excuse me, Obama.
Ron Paul has about as likely a chance of addressing the 2008 GOP convention as I have. This is sad - if only because were Dr. Paul allowed to speak, it would make for the mirror opposite of the 1964 GOP convention in terms of theatrics. This time it would be the rank & file majority of Republicans booing the modern-age Goldwater off the stage in favor of the new Nelson Rockefeller. This is how I would most enjoy remembering the death of the neocon movement.
Yes, I am a sucker for these types of politically ironic moments.
Considering McCain's Pastor Hagee and his motivator, Antichrist, which is found only in the Epistles of John, One would think this is a Christian war, but in fact it is a non-Christian War. Ignorance of history permits or encourages it's repeat.
Study Protestant reformer, Martin Luther. His credentials, His knowledge, should show us to not protect the Jews. Spending our treasure or blood. TV preachers
will reap what they have sown, some day. Tables overturned plus."Tou are of your father, the Devil."
The GOP has to die and go the way of the WHIG party.
It can then regrow from the seeds that Ron Paul has planted.
After 11/4/08, Obama and McCain "supporters" will disappear. We will not.
Christians can't vote for Obama or McCain. Both of these men are pro-choice. Christians cannot support people who support murderers. BY JOSEPH
Hey Joseph. If you voted for BUSH (which I'm sure you did if your a christian right winger) BUSH who LIED us into a war for profit. That has killed 92,000 Iraqis and 4,000 plus Americans. Your already an accessory to MURDER. I don't think you can repent that away. 96,000 people would be a lot of novenas. More than a whole lifetime.
This Revolution will last well after the GOP convention and the presidential election. America shall be restored to her former glory.
John McSame recently said that every intelligence agency in the world thought iraq had wmd's....
Now that Mccellans book is out, and our own senate has proved bush lied 1000 times, and these people did not think iraq had wmd's:
John McCain remains loyal to the lies that started the war in Iraq

What Really Happened
����
Former White House Press Spokesman Scott McClellan has come out with revelations which basically confirm that the US Government lied this nation into a war of conquest against another nation which had in fact neither attacked us, or threatened us.
Now, people of good conscience, people of honor, would look at the admissions of a man who was inside the Bush administration as reason to re-evaluate the war and the reasons for going to war.
below text comes from http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/mccainmcclellan.php
there are videos on the website listed also
But John McCain is gravely in error. Every claim that Saddam had WMD all came from one single source only.
British Intelligence knew there were no WMDs before the invasion started.
Scott Ritter said there were no Iraqi WMDs.
Hans Blix said there were no Iraqi WMDs.
Canada's analysts said there were no Iraqi WMDs.
The French, the Germans and the Russians all KNEW there were no WMDs in Iraq prior to the invasion.
Bush knew Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction
Star Witness on Iraq Said Weapons Were Destroyed
Paul Wolfowotz is on record admitting that the WMD issue was a 'bureaucratic reason' for war.
SCANDAL OF THE LOBBY ZIONIST AIPAC: A PERFUME OF WATERGATE The Italian Parliament confirms that the documents on which Bush based his claim that Iraq was buying Uranium were forgeries.
White House Silenced Experts Who Questioned Iraq Intel Six Months Before War
Warnings on WMD 'Fabricator' Were Ignored, Ex-CIA Aide Says
Inspectors Call U.S. Tips 'Garbage'
Diplomat's suppressed document lays bare the lies behind Iraq war
America Tore Out 8000 Pages of Iraq Dossier
Pilger claims White House knew Saddam was no threat
And finally, we have this video from 2001, in which Colin Powell and Condi Rice state emphatically that Saddam Hussein as been disarmed.
So, one of two cases applies.
1. John McCain is knowingly lying in his claim that "Every" intelligence agency thought that Saddam had nuclear weapons of mass destruction, or ...
2. John McCain is an idiot who despite having inside access to government information and a taxpayer-funded staff missed all of the obvious signs of deception that bloggers operating on spare change found under seat cushions all spotted and reported on.
In either case, McCain is unfit to be a Senator, let alone President.
McCain is a Manchurian Candidate. He got his mind-controlled instructions when he was a prisoner in North Viet Nam. Who knows what will trigger him to self-destruct, taking us all along with him.
A broken mind is easily manipulated. Manchurian Candidates do exist in real life. Like the killers of John Lennon and RFK.
Be afraid of McCain, and for good reason.
Paul said himself he is not looking to negotiate a speaking slot get your facts straight!
Actually... It has nothing to do with Christianity at all. These people, the so called 'illuminatists' are Luciferian Pagans. They are Litterally doing the work of Satan to rid the planet of people and keep a few around for slaves. Look up 'CODEX ALIMENTARIUS'. Go watch ESOTERIC AGENDA on YOUTUBE... EDUCATE YOURSELF! Vote for Ron Paul if you love this planet, if you love your freedom. This is our only chance to do this Diplomatically. The next is dousing the alter of freedom with the blood of our matyrs for liberty & the enemies of freedom. I guess it's time it had a washing...
#22, So funny. His trigger is probably the song, "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, just like in Zoolander.
Two eye opening exposes. One from Ron Paul's wife about the hardest working man in Washington. Another from a fiercely loyal supporter.

Obama/Paul 08
@Brian Randall:
The Libertarian Candidate, Bob Barr, voted for the Patriot Act, for the War on Drugs, and authored and sponsored the Defense of Marriage act. Those are not very libertarian principles.
The Elite/Wealthy run BOTH sides.
You can waste your time supporting Establishment Candidates OR you can open your eyes to The Fact that WE DO NOT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY.

Steve, Ron Paul does not negotiate with terrorists (NEO-CONS) therefor he will not negotiate a speaking slot. However he did say if one was offered he would take it.
voted for ron paul in primaries
will now vote for obama
if he does not win, then im leaving usa
Even if Ron Paul does get to speak at the Republican convention we can all rest assured that he will NOT be heard by the American People! The Republican Party will make SURE he speaks when no one is listening and the cameras are NOT rolling on him.
If he wants to speak, he and his supporters should DEMAND that he be heard in prime time which will absolutely be televised for the nation to see.
I'm just sayin'.
I think the biggest blockade to Ron Paul is the lack of intelligence of Americans. Only those more intelligent citizens bother to inform themselves of policies of the candidates and only the most intelligent can understand Ron Paul's policies and also have the reason to appreciate them. To appreciate Ron Paul's policies you have to know and understand the history of this country, fiscal policy, monetary policy, foreign policy, the constitution ( most American's know we have a constitution but have no idea why or what it's purpose is ) etc... Most Americans are too busy working and shopping to even bother to try and understand candidate's policies much less educate themeselves on economic issues that require a little bit of intelligence and reason. Most Americans will vote based on some repeated sound bit: "Obama will bring us change" but have no idea what his policy is to effect that change. Paulunteers regularly quote the constitution and fed policy in explaining why they support Ron Paul. There is just no comparison. The only real candidate for president is Ron Paul.
Fed Chairman FINALLY admits Ron Paul is right on the Economy
In his speech this past Tuesday, Ben Bernanke finally admitted that the weakness in the dollar was contributing to both higher inflation and elevated inflation expectations. This stands in stark contrast to his recent testimony in front of the House Banking Committee, where in response to a question asked by Congressman Ron Paul, he confidently declared that the weakness of the dollar only effected Americans who travel abroad. It is amazing how little attention this complete reversal received.

p.s. Casey, if Ron Paul doesn't go Independent, I don't feel there is any other real choice for myself, my family or my country than the libertarians. Bob Barr has flip-flopped on the Patriot Act. Let's hope he really sees the light. He worked for the CIA so at one time he probably enjoyed spying.
If anyone actually cares about the truth and wishes to learn the reality of what Ron Paul is about please go here. http://ronpaullibrary.org/
Ron Paul does not just talk the talk
HE ACTUALLY WALKS THE WALK!
For the first time in many years I am actually excited about voting. Finally have someone whom has REAL solutions and doesn't say what they think Americans want to hear.
Ron Paul is clearly the ONLY candidate not looking to line his own pockets or agendas. He is looking out for our present times and our future.
He is bravely exposing all the illegal government control over people and awakening our spirits again.
Sadly, ignorant and uneducated media coverage such as what has been provided here, only harms US ALL, future generations will look back to this and honor Ron Paul's Revolution and those supporters that helped provided a FREEDOM path for them.
McCain votes against tax cuts. McCain is going to get pounded, along with most other Republican candidates for office.
