He is going to win.

Mark my written words...the die is cast.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN WAITING FOR HIM, HE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR US.

As a business owner and father I support Ron Paul. So does my dad who was a Marine-by-Choice in Korea and has three purple hearts. 30 years ago my dad predicted correctly exactly what has happened in this country. Dr. Paul sees it too. American's need to wake up and stop voting for the same media-anointed people that keep digging us deeper into a hole on all fronts. Dr. Paul will make a great president and restore the US as a respected world leader.

Ron Paul was right on Iraq and now right on Iran. Ahmadinejad wants the US to attack Iran because it will rally nationalist support behind him and be a benefit to radical islam. GWB is playing into this rhetoric and putting good people (like Dutch's kids(Thank you!) at risk. Bin Laden and his crew have set-up shop in Pakistan, but their recruiting base is world wide, thanks to the internet. They will use any aggression toward the Middle East or occupation as propoganda to recruit radicals to their cause and train them to be suicide bombers, which they can do over the net (ie Subway Bombers in London). You cannot wage a traditional war against an enemy without a front. Intelligence experts (CIA) have suggested that de-escalating our invovlement in these countries will reduce the ability of Al Qaeda to spread their message of hate and intolerance, thereby reducing the number of suicide bombers. This theory worked in Israel and is the only way to approach peace. The only other alternative and likely the Bush doctrine is to continue escalation, force a conflict and eradicate an entire race of people to kill a few radicals. This alternative will only divide the muslim world and create more enemies. Ron Paul doesn't watch much TV, because he is too busy reading books, studying history and economics. He is the most intelligent candidate running and America needs a President who weighs his decisions carefully, before acting for the good OF THE PEOPLE. GO RON PAUL!

Oh Dear God, NO! Now I have to watch The View!? Ok, just for you Dr. Paul! :)
Since the media marginalizes you and you rarely get face time, I will suffer through the view and the disgusting Woopi Goldberg just to watch you! Ron Paul gets it. Wake up America and take back your country. Or you could waste your vote on thieves and liars like Guilani or Hillary.

The only problem is he does not understand islam and how it is entrenched in their teaching to hate us...it is not because we invaded iraq and afghanistan...it is because we are infidels...his approach will weaken us and only increase the jihadist threat against us...especially with iran pursuing the bomb...but I do agree with his domestic policy

Matt,
If it's about us being 'infidels,' why are they bombing the infidel countries of Switzerland, Norway, China, and others? I'll give you a hint: it has a little something to do with the fact that those countries have not spent the past 50 years invading, stationing troops in, and otherwise meddling with the affairs of Middle Eastern countries!

Darren,
I wish it was as easy as you say it could be just by pulling our troops back home. But if we leave iraq it will only embolden the terrorists because of the perceived victory. remember that there has been more than 10,000 terrorist attacks all over the world since 9/11/01....all in the name of Islam. Norways police have even stopped attempted terrorist attacks and China has as well. I agree President bush is doing alot wrong in this war...but going into iraq and afghanistan will help us in the future, it is just hard to see it right now...Here are some quotes from the quran and hadith:The Qur'an:

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." There is a good case to be made that the overall context of these verses is defensive war, however, there are two worrisome pieces to this passage. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution." The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."

Sura (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."

Sura (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."

Sura (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Sura (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of killing Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').

Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

Sura (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Sura (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-" This passage not only criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, but also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Qur'an, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad).

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Remember that thomas jefferson was even fighting the barbary pirates hundreds of years ago before any invasion of that area at all.

Matt,
First, there's no way I'm going to read through all that you just posted. Second, our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan is the best possible recruiting tool for Islamic terrorists. There's absolutely no way it's beneficial to us now or in the future--under any conceivable set of circumstances. Third, the terrorist leaders have said over and over again that the reason they are targeting us and our allies is because of our decades of meddling in their countries' affairs. We know this is the case, the CIA and DOD know this is the case, the rest of the world knows this is the case. Quoting their religious nonsense has no bearing on anything. I could quote violent nonsense from Christian and Jewish holy books all day long, but you don't claim what our country does is because of religion, do you?

The terrorist leaders keep saying that in between lines where they are quoting the quran...we had to go into afghanistan to disrupt al qaeda...we cannot let them keep doing what they do...You need to pick up a quran and educate yourself on islam too see where their mind is. If ron paul gets voted into presidency and pulls us out of the middle east it will embolden the terrorists even more and be even more of a recruiting tool because it shows how weak we are. They are implementing sharia in europe right now as we speak....especially in places like Amsterdam and London. being a superpower gives you responsibilities to protect your interests.....that is exactly what we are doing and Iraq is now a better place for it and will help us in the future....good will come of this.
Also, the violent verses in christianity were set in a time and place and not meant to be followed after that. The quran is the holy immutable word of god and is to be followed exactly as it is said...how many terrorist attacks have been committed in the name of christianity in the past 100 years? Maybe ten? and the people that did it were definitely not christian. meanwhile over 10,000 have been committed in the name of allah in just the past 7 years...

It sure is a good thing Ron Paul doesnt have a chance in winning...less than 1% of republicans surveyed in the gallup and rasmussen polls have said they would consider voting for him...that shows alot

Darren,
Agreed - this nonsense about 'fighting a religion' is just that.. nonsense. What most americans fail to do is to put themselves in the place of the persons who attack us. What exactly motivates someone to KILL themselves just to kill their enemy? suicide terrorism has been a factor for a very long time - because of oppression and desperation.

If someone came and took my land, confiscated my house, and put me in a slum surrounded by walls and barbed wire - patrolled my neighborhood with tanks I would be more than a little ticked, and might just take an RPG to one of those tanks like Patrick Swayze in Red Dawn. Wake up, thats what is happening to the Palestinians. The USA helps to fund it. We have had a presence in the middle east for over a decade - therefore muslims see us as the enemy. Unfortunately, if you speak out against funding Israel, you are automatically labeled as an anti-semite. If you speak out against the war, you are labeled as unpatriotic. Hogwash!

Does anyone really think that building a military base/embassy in Iraq is going to make the Muslim world love us? Is that REALLY going to suddenly lessen the chances of a terrorist attack upon American soil? Heck no. That is what is motivating them to fight us!

Everyone else is calling Ron Paul crazy, when he is the only one talking about a sane foreign policy!

Oh and as for the barbary pirates - they were extorting money from the USA for the safe passage of our vessels since the time that Jefferson was an ambassador. Finally when he became president, he denied to give them money because our Navy had become fortified and we no longer needed to pay for "protection". Congress did not issue a declaration of war, however, they did authorize that armed vessels defend themselves and seize all vessels from barbary if encountered.

Ok Jason, History lesson time...Are you aware that the disputed territories never belonged to the "palestinians" and only came into Israeli possession as a result of the 1967 six day war in which egypt, jordan, syria and lebanon all massed forces at israels border in order to "push the jews into the sea". The Arabs lost and Israel took control of the land. Do you agree that if the muslims do not want to lose territory to Israel then they shouldnt start wars? Do agree agree that there is justice that Israel, who as far back as 1948 has always sought peave with her far larger neighbors, should live in prosperity-making the desert bloom...while the residents of 19 adjacent arab countries who are blessed with far more land as well as oil wealth live in their own feces?

Did you know that the "Palestinians" could have had their own country as far back as 1948 had they accepted the UN sponsored partition plan w hich gave Israel AND the Palestinians countries of their own on land which the Jews had lived on for thousands of years before mohammed ever had a dream about virgins? The arabs rejected the UN offer and went to war with the infant Israeli Nation. The Arabs lost and have been whining about it ever since. Do you agree this is like a murderer who kills his parents and asks for special treatment since he is now an orphan?

Can you tell us any arab country which offers Jews the right to be citizens, vote, own property, businesses, be a part of the government or have any of the rights which Israeli Arabs enjoy? Any arab country which gives those rights to Christians? How about to other Arabs? Wouldnt you just love to be a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, or Syria?

Have you heard "People who define themselves primarily by what they hate, rather than who they love, are dommed to failure and misery"? Can you see the Parallels to the Arabs, who are blesed with land and oil but still gladly train their children to kill themselves in order to kill jews? have you heard Golda Meirs words to the effect of "There will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours?" Who do the Arabs hate so much?

I am a Ron Paul supporter big time. For the person that stated we are not living in 1776, that is true but if you follow our Federal Constitution it works today as well as it did back then with a few amendments as necessary. As far as Dr. No being too old that is preposterous. With age comes wisdom. He will be the oldest President ever elected. We should not be responsible for policing the world. Do any of you stick your nose in other families business and let your own family go down the drain. That is what is happening and I am sick and tired of it. All the so-called top candidates belong to the CFR which is an organization to do away with our sovereignty, disarm us, plant chips under our skin to keep track of our every move, take us down the road to the New World Order. We should not allow ourselves to be taken by consent. We need Ron Paul more than we have ever needed someone to straighten out this up-coming collapse. I'm just afraid that by Executive Order Martial Law is about to take place and there will not be a 2008 election so we must give until it hurts because we finally have a man with testicles. And he is fearless. God Bless Ron Paul. And vote for this man and support him with all your might. This is our last chance.

Amazed to see such strong support for Dr. Ron Paul. He's almost too good to be true! He's gaining wider and wider support thanks to his internet popularity and massive fund raising.The problem has always been a worthwhile candidate couldn't garner financial support to advertise effectively, but not so with Ron Paul. If the people are exposed to his wonderful message enough, maybe even the average stupid american won't vote for another dictator like President Bush AGAIN!!!!!

"It sure is a good thing Ron Paul doesnt have a chance in winning...less than 1% of republicans surveyed in the gallup and rasmussen polls have said they would consider voting for him...that shows alot"

Um, that is NOT what the poll says. It says that 1% of Republicans surveyed are planning to vote for him. Big difference. In addition the numbers you cite is wrong (ALL national polls currently show him at 2-4% of the Republican vote with NH and Iowa showing him closer to 10%). Finally, the actual number that said that they would not vote for him in the Republican primary is 61% but with 8 candidates running, he can win every state with the 39% that would consider him (and that 61% will come around to vote for him over Hillary).

Ron Paul opposes separation of church and state. He writes in "War on Religion" in 2003, "The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers."

Thomas Jefferson, in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists, regarding the 1st amendment wrote, "........BUILDING A WALL OF SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE."

Ron Paul is not a libertarian when it comes to religion.
