Ron Paul has always been a positive politician after all he should he sticks by the Constitution of which he took an oath to God to defend andhe doesn’t take any money from lobbyist of which keeps his mind and heart free, he will never send our troops into harms way unless there is a declaration of war by our congress,most of all he doesn;t use the name of God for advancement to get a vote, he leaves that duty to the individual and to there God.
So did I thionk from the start he can win of course and I still do.

Yeah… I think as a matter of fact Dr. Paul HAD NEVER used the term “Revolution” on T.V. before… EVER.. at some speeches for sure but NOT on T.V.

I could think of “one” way the good Dr. would run third party… But he is sane enough not to prby even have THOUGHT about it much less say it..

“Should it be APPARENT that the vote count far under represents the visable support at the polls and at the caucuses.. I suspect rather than going into high gear Supreme Court mode… The good Dr. would just step into the third party hoping for fairer results in a general

Let’s hope that it is OBVIOUS who the winner is… whomever that is.. and the votes accurately represent what everyone sees and experiences at the cauceses and polling stations

I am an atheist who supports Ron Paul despite the fact that he has said some things about church & state that I do not agree with. What I can tell you is that whatever his personal beliefs on some personal matters are, he is a libertarian at heart and he will repsect your right to make your own decisions, including those about religion or atheism, I am certain of it.

I am also certain that he is exactly what America needs right now.

Also, Ron Paul is not a staunch opponent of gay marriage. He is against attempts to ban it through constitutional amendments and he is a supporter of allowing states to decide.

Aaron,

Ron Paul IS against abortion; as an obstetrician who delievered 4,000 babies he’d be a considerable hypocrite if he wasn’t.

However you ARE right in your suggestion to Mel. Dr. Paul strictly obeys the Constitution, regardless of personal preferences (as should we all), and the 9th and 10th Amendments in the Bill of Rights make CRYSTAL clear that powers not SPECIFICALLY granted the Federal Government are none of the Federal government’s business.

Abortion, the definition of marriage, drug enforcement, etc. are not Federal issues and Dr. Paul recognizes that and respects that.

Mel can safely support Ron Paul without concern that that decision will somehow be used against him. Indeed, unless he wants to just go on blindly trusting the vagaries of society and the Federal government on these and other issues there is only one safe way he CAN vote: Ron Paul and pro-Republic.

The term Republic has gotten a bad name because of national politics and popular whim. In fact, it is pure democracy which is dangerous and that is why the US was founded as a Republic: to keep both Federal power and passing social insanities in check.

You should also read up on “Original Intent of the Constitution” Google it… Our founding father’s got it right, but greed has torn us apart and we have lost sight on what truely matters.

Mel, same thing with net neutrality, etc. Dr. Paul believes the Federal govt has NEVER been given authority over the internet, so they do NOT have the right to pass ANY governing legislation on it. Once you give them a precedent the lawyers will rape you by symantics, it has happened everytime in past. READ THE 10TH AMENDMENT!

Mel, Ron Paul is NOT against abortion! He believes in the 10th ammendment, he believes that the FEDERAL government has been given no authority to make ANY governing decision on abortion rights. He believes, in accordance the 10th ammendment, that the authority then falls to “the state, or the people.” In other words, each state could take a vote, if they wanted to. In places like Cali it would be left alone, in Kansas it would be illegal, etc.

Please read into Ron’s philosophy before making up your mind! I promise it ALL makes perfect sense, your just a little confused on what Dr. Paul believes, that is all! Good luck!

I can’t in good conscience support Ron Paul. While I agree his views on the war, the environment, and many of his other views, he is against abortion, net neutrality, separation of church and state, and gay marriage. He has a lot of good ideas, but his views on these issues will not only lose him my vote, but the vote of many other democrats who otherwise would potentially vote for him.

I really hope you are correct!! I have watched Ron Paul on TV, on UTube and have met with him in person in DC. I was wondering when HE was going to start believing that WE THE PEOPLE want HIM as president…and that he really could win!

We resonate with his message, we know he is correct, we see what he sees. We are desparate for him to save our Constitution, and we want what he wants for our country~!

But having met with his Chief of Staff (several times) and with the Congressman himself (once) in his DC office, my impression was that he thought of running for president was, “well, why not?” I don’t think he took his candidacy seriously, as in, I don’t think he had any idea he could really win.

Think about it: His message has been the same for the many years he has been in Congress. He has always been the minority opinion and has been marginalized by both fellow Congresspersons, the Senate and the media. Having spent considerable time on the Hill, they all find Ron Paul and his message either “amusing,” or worse. No wonder he has had a struggle seeing himself as a winner for WE THE PEOPLE!

My opinion is that he though running for president was a duty, as a way to voice his opinions. I don’t think he had any idea the impact he would have on WE THE PEOPLE or that he would really have a chance to win. The Ron Paul Revolution is changing all that!

I hope that you are right: That he NOW HAS THE FEELING and BELIEF of a winner! He is making an impact on this country. I hope he can VISUALIZE the chair in the oval office and see himself sitting there!!

All the candidates have coaches…speech coaches (about tone of voice and body language) and presentation skills. Professional atheletes–even Tiger Woods–have a coach. Ron Paul could WIN IT ALL by adding little voice polish to his amazingly wonderful message. I’d encourage some leadership coaching to see himself as President and a World Leader. Maybe someone could suggest that…

GO RON PAUL!! You are standing in the gap for all of us who understand we are on resting on a razor thin edge: Between retaining our freedoms and being arrested for having an opinion.

GO RON PAUL!!

Other than here, it looks like the MSM marching orders involve promoting Huckabee endlessly. Ron Paul had 2-3 questions and limited time. He still crushed them all (how come every article forgets to include his comeback to McCain which mentioned that Ron Paul gets more Military Contributions than any other candidate?). Mitt is dead after desecrating the Confederate flag. Many Southerners died under that flag.
Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between” Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like America Deceived (book) from Amazon, warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation.

Ah, but Ron has only used the R-word to _us_, the converted up until now. I think you’re right, I think you’re on to something here. BTW, I noticed that during the John McCain rant, the camera shot of Dr. Paul to the side there came this glint in his eyes, and an ever-so-perceptible little smile. Oh how this man would have gone off on McCain, and indeed, I was hollering at the TV set! But Dr. Paul stood there, drew a breath, took dead aim, and… Well, suffice it to say, the pundits were lauding his response the next day, all the while us “Paulites” were clamoring for something more confrontational. He is a good leader for _our_ rEVOLution.

I have to agree… Dr. Paul has been right… IN ADVANCE of everyone else figuring out they were WRONG!!… And whats more… He doesn’t come out and say things like that… He doesn’t try and belittle his competition or continually remind them how wrong they were while he was RIGHT ALL ALONG…

I RESPECT that… though I do wish as a supporter he’d point it out… JUST A BIT MORE !!

The man IS THE SMARTEST GUY I’VE SEEN RUN FOR PRESIDENT A BE VIABLE IN MY LIFETIME!
