Who is Ron Paul?
« Reply #345 on: December 21, 2007, 10:43:36 AM »
I like the ad...

I sure hope the media doesn't get started on him... let's just say he isn't going to get the union/oprah/nea/brady bunch/aclu/endorsement.

Man.. would that shake things up if this guy got in.   Nothing about the guys positions really bothers me... He is wrong on some wars stuff but it is complex enough for wiggle room..  

Thing is tho..  being ok with me means that he will most assuredly not be ok with democrats and liberals and socialists.   They are just too stupid to see it past the pot haze.

One can hope that they will stay stupid but..

sure would, Lazs.  it's feeling more and more possible every day from where I stand.

on another note...  Here's a Christmas song from a RP supporter.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Freedom!  (To Be Sung to the Traditional Christmas Tune)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Freedom!
Everywhere you go;
As you drive along North 210,
You'll see Ron Paul signs again
Held by happy smiling folks you'd like to know!

It's beginning to look a lot like Freedom,
Let's be done with war!
Then the prettiest sight you'll see is the promise of Liberty
In our land once more.

Freedom from government meddling and theft
Is the wish of real women and men;
To be left alone to live life on our own
Would be like starting fresh once again!
Moms and Dads, Imagine a land restored for our children again!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Freedom!
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a crowd by the Liberty Bell, one in The Mall as well,
Though the media seems not to know!

It's beginning to look a lot like Freedom;
Soon the votes will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the freedom that you feel
Living in your heart.

Fox Business News asks, is congress is spending our money wisely? and guest Peter Schiff plugs Ron Paul.  In fact, most of them seemed supportive...

USA Daily: Ron Paul will win by a landslide

at the rate Ron Paul's support has been growing, is it still inconceivable that he might pull this off?  What happens if he wins, or even comes in second, in Iowa and/or NH?  Still impossible?

The nomination isn't won in Iowa or NH, but Dr. Paul could very well increase his momentum while the others fade.

Remember that Ron Paul's "polling numbers" are double what John Kerry was polling at this time four years ago.  He could very likely pull this off over the long haul of primaries and the convention, in spite of the media continually calling him a "long shot," while candidates polling less than him are called "contenders."

The heck with the media, let's see what the voters have to say in January and February.

We're soooo close now the anticipation is killing me!  Finally, votes.  Not some hokey, unscientific poll numbers or, but votes.  Here's hoping Ron Paul's support continues to grow and his supporters spam the ballot boxes!

yeah, I know.  me too, I'm just getting excited that actual, honest-to-god votes are a couple weeks away.   (unless there's any funny business with the voting machines, of course...)  It'll come down to how many turn out for the primaries.  Paul's supporters are fired up and just about every one of them will make sure to vote, come hell or high water.  Can you say that for the others?  

A message to all Paul supporters reading this:  If you're in a closed primary state, make sure to register Republican before the deadline.  Vote in the primary.  If you feel comfortable doing so, help spread the word by talking to people about Ron Paul.  Make sure to let them know that they NEED to vote for Paul in their state's primary, after registering Republican before the deadline if it's a closed primary state.

Dr. Paul was on Meet the Press this morning (12/23).  Very, very good half hour interview.  This page has the 4-part interview posted.  Tim Russert does his best to trip RP up, but Ron handles him like a pro.
