    • I don't think Ron Paul would want to take us back to the principals of Lincoln. He'd skip Lincoln and go for Jefferson instead.

    • Yes! Ron Paul understands the value of a Dollar.

      ALMOST NOTHING!

      Dr. Paul said coming off of the Gold Standard was the worst thing that ever happened to us!

      We live on FIAT Currency! Made out of THIN air!

      and we wonder why we are near broke!

    • my leader, Hu Jingtao, would never negotiate terms with a woman ever, save maybe for hillary clinton. we chinese laugh at idea of this sarah palin as president!

      on other hand we chinese would accept somebody like barack obama or al gore or even ron paul. this palin has no idea how to run government. she like bush.

    • My friends at Operation Unity claim they are waiting for an Obama win so they can help Ron Paul take over the GOP from the Neocon hordes!

      Ron Paul plans on taking the Republican Party back to the principles of its founder!

      A GOP THAT DOES NOT LIE?

      IMPOSSIBLE!

    • I am Independent myself, but there is NO WAY I would vote for Palin in 2012.

      If Hillary Clinton who has waaaaay more experience than this Eskimo Hater from Wasilla was not adequate enough to be President, then what makes Palin qualified?

      trueconservative is also correct, collected together, the followers of Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan make up to 80% of the Republican base. The Neocons like $ean Hannity and Karl Rove that Palin takes her marching orders from make up only about 20%.

      so trueconservative is correct. there are a LOT more TRUE Conservatives in the GOP than Neocons! You guys are outnumbered about 8 to 2!

    • The film mention throughout this thread is called A Bug's Life. And I have news for YOU Brendan Ron Paul is controlling the ANTS! And Palin is leading around a BUNCH of Neocon GRASSHOPPERS!

      As a trueconservative following MY own name, let me tell you THIS. Since the RALLY FOR THE REPUBLIC, we in the Revolution KNOW that there are a LOT MORE OF US THAN THERE IS OF THEM!

      We dont NEED Palin OR the Neocons she SPOUTS OFF FOR....THEY NEED US!

      The trouble with the Bugs Life analogy is that the ants won since there were a lot more of them cooperating while the grasshoppers only had self-defeating bullying tactics to use.

      I'd say that was a fair comparison Paul and Palin's style of goverming but that makes a lot better outlook for the future of Ron Paul

      Why do you even give this cabron the time of day china? clearly he hates you fo being disingenuine in the first place!

      but he is right about Hu Xingtao! Just because Hu wears a business suit and uses American Capitalism against itself hiring musclemen and slaving prisoners he will continue to rule China.

      Sure, dude, we got room to talk when we openly defend Taiwan since the peoples republic took over the mainland.

      china needs to smoke some opium to match up with brendans crack habit.

      I prefer magic shrooms myself.....AAAAAAAH!

    • Consider the alternative right? With Palin going rogue on them like psycho alien in Species they probably would think that Ron Paul is fairly balanced by comparison.

      why? ron paul stood a chance of winning against obama. mccain sunk the boat by nominating the pibull-pig lipstick wearing moose hunter from backwater alaska as his vp.i was actually relieved obama didnt take hillary. it gave me a way out.

      The same Evangelicals that backed Huckabee? Even God fearing Christians wouldnt vote for a woman who couldnt even control her own daughter enough to make sure she didnt get pregnant out of wedlock!

      I may NOT know everything, but even an old Liberal like myself cannot get DRUNK enough to believe THAT ONE!

      romney and guiliani got run into the ground for their conservative views.

      romney took if also for being a Mormon. a shame.

      guiliani bit the big one on abortion.

      ron paul got slapped for being truthful.

      get wise to the fact that nobody likes palin at all. iwas considering mccain until he made that error in judgement. no way will i vote for palin.

      The only way to fix the current political system - Is to break it!

      The way you break it is by a critical mass collective whole majority voting completely diderent then what they expect and then when they try and tell us their canadidate won we all stand up and say - Hell No we say it Aint So!! and make them change.

      As in the kid movie - ? where the grasshopper told the other grasshoppers, " If they ever figure out that they out number us 10000 to 1 we are done for!"

      Power in the People, Power by the People, Power to the People to change the system in which governs us.

      Together united, divided we keep failing with the same old two-face one party run by the untouchables that pull their strings.

    • Everyone in America lost when the republicans didn't nominate Ron Paul.

      We don't gain respect when we bomb the world, we gain enemies.

    • Palin in 2012? Go ahead! I wouldn't vote for HER if she had a 'good luck' side of BACKBACON tied around her NECK in 2012!

      Ron Paul is absolutely correct, the GOP backs these NEOCON losers and NO NOTHING power abusers and then EXPECTS to get VOTES?

      Tell the Maverick and the Moose Hunter if they spent HALF as much time talkiing about ISSUES as they DID trying to MURDER BARACK OBAMA BY ASSOCIATION then THIS NATION would be BETTER SERVED!

      What about the ECONOMY? What about THESE WARS? What ABOUT REAL ISSUES?

      Instead of the CRAP stirred up by $ean Hannity, RU$H Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck?

      How so?

      As if McCain singing bomb bomb Iran, or Joe Biden promising some catastrophe like he's a fortune teller isn't crazy?

      All Ron Paul said is that we should get out of Iraq, get rid of the private Federal Reserve and restore the Constitution.

      Yeah that sounds really crazy.

      FEMA? The bloated government bureau that assisted all those blacks during Katrina? Yeah, let's keep that agency, and while we're at it, let's give Reichland security another few billion too.

      That was a smear against Ron Paul. Notice the media let John McCain off the hook for threatening mass genocide of Iranians and calling Asians the gooks.

      Buddy, let me get this straight here. John McCain who was claimed to be the Manchurian Candidate by none other than George Bush and Karl Rove in 2000 (they also said he ratted on fellow POW's to get preferred treatment...YES Bush and Rove SAID THAT in 2000!); who said we would keep a military prescence for 100 years in Iraq like we have let drain our economy for over 60 years in South Korea; who has threatened to BOMB Iran following the Bush Doctrine; who has said he will get Bin-Laden even if it means invading NUCLEAR Pakistan, and has associated with the likes of Charles Keating(S&L Scandal), John Singlaub (Iran-Contra), and G Gordon Liddy(Watergate)...is NOT crazy...

      But Ron Paul whos ONLY crime was saying the Iraq War was an INSANE waste of LIFE and MONEY is off his rocker?

      How much Thorazine do they give you every day while you sit and weave baskets?

    • In America today you have the freedom to do what they tell you to do.

      We as a society are manipulated by the mainstream media. We are conditioned to choose what They are masters want us to choose - us or them which is really one party with two faces.

      Ron Paul and others like him see the total corruption of the political system and Ron knows you have to fight from with in it if your going to have a chance at changing the system.

      America wake-up and wipe the sh... off of us and be critical thinkers not zombie sheep for slaughter!

      Each individual has the power to change themselves and the political process. And when each individual comes together as a collective whole there is change But that real change won't come from McCain or Obama, it will only come from outside the BOX.

      We need New leaders not bought and paid for and do as they are told. If we are to remain free and independent we must each change and vote in a radically different way that calls for critical mass change. Make that change NOV 4; not the lessor of two evils.

    • Isn't Ron Paul the crazy old man that Republicans hate.

      Didn't they shun him from the RNC?

      Isn't he considered a libertarian?

      Isn't the GOP a racist old school terrorist group that hates the working and middle class and is willing to sacrifice the nation's young people to create profit for large corporations?

      Isn't the GOP the party with one led by a crazy racist old guy and a confused beauty queen?

      Why would he want to lead that group of assholes?

      If he lasts that long. Isn't he like 80 something? I believe Paul presented his case and his great ideas so the younger generation can take a hold of this corrupt government. He ran in the 80's and suddenly returned now. Usually when someone is trying to get into office that person runs once and quits, or constantly runs (like Ralph Nader). I still believe that his message was deeper than trying to get into office. He focus on "connecting with the younger crowd" a bit much. I am voting Ron Paul until someone can match his greatness. Until than- I will be voting not for them, the politicians, but for me. Ron Paul will be on my ballet every four years as a reminder to me and what policies which SHOULD be in affect.

    • If Ron Paul became voice of the GOP i Might consider voting republican next election. Hopefully this is a turning point for the dyeing republican party, they have put forward their own agendas for the better part of the last century.

    • The GOP needs to learn you can't endorse a complete failure and expect to maintain credibility in the future. Look how bad they're hurting from W! If they truly "believed" in their candidate (instead of knowing their candidate is purely special interest), it would be a lot easier to get their future candidates elected.

      Ron Paul has descent ideas, and would be the GOP's best future candidate.
