This country does not deserve someone as good and honest as Ron Paul.......

No mention of Paul in the past few weeks, and then suddenly you have a couple stories on him in the same day? You serve your masters well. Shame on the corporate-controlled media for deliberately denying the American people this honest, sincere, and very, very correct man. America - you'll realize what you've missed only after it's too late...

As long as the powers that run the stories continue to pander to a 105-IQ populus, few people will pay attention to this opportunity for a great leader passed upon by a generation that needed him so dearly.

Congressman Paul's decision makes sense to me. He is correct, most of the primary decisions are over. For whatever reasons, the Republican hierarchy has settled on McCain. Yet if Paul's supporters don't quit, we may still be able to influence the Party platform and convention.

Mitt "suspended" his campaign so that his delegates wouldn't run to Paul, which is what they were planning to do. He's stopping to prevent a brokered convention, that would give Paul and his supporters a chance to take their message to the American people. Mitt thinks by letting Hilliary win now, he can beat her in '12. Um, sorry Mitt but being the male "Hilliary" makes you no alternative at all. And if the Republican party nominates him, they will have thrown ANOTHER electon to a Clinton, and they will have deserved to lose, just like they will this fall. The party would rather be in control of a perennial loser, than bring in new people, and stand on conservative values. Republican's are repulsed by McCain, and will stay home. Thanks GOP. For ruining the future of our country.

Yep, the fat cats can rest easier now. The rape of America continues. The main stream media has done its dirty work and we Americans are left to choose between dumb, dumber, and dumbest. None of them give a damn about you and I. I hope everyone out there is proud; can you all squeal like a pig? For me, I'm not even going to vote this time; first time in over 30 years. It just isn't worth it.

I like Ron Paul especially because he would eliminate the shady actions and the "beat the war drum" of the Bush administration. Backing a presidential candidate who supports warmongering and occupying other countries will further ruin this country. China will completely own America,if we start more wars. The traitorous Neocns are praying for more wars,Ron Paul is our best hope to keep the evil Neocons at bay.

Media black-out and constant down-playing Ron Paul from the start by the main stream media was so obvious. The debates were a joke. They constantly skipped him and lied to him, etc. What we need is this country is free advertising on TV for all candidates providing equal debate time for all.

Folks, pay attention to your local represenatives, and if you don't like what you see. Vote them out. Run for office, school board, dog catcher, I don't care. We have to break up the monopoly of power somewhere. Cancel the newspaper, to hell with "the evening snooze." (news) Forget O'Reilly, Obermann, Coulter, and all the "left/right divide and conquer" hacks. Stand up for yourself, and take charge of your community. Because these greedy slumlords will do all they can to fill the void. If we refuse to get involved and hold them accountable, how can we expect a differen't result. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Let's do something differen't and regain control over our lives. They work for US, but only if WE throw them out when they ignore our voice. Throw the bums OUT!!! Don't vote for the incumbent. Make them WORK for a living!!! Get involved. I know you can write a letter a week, or throw in a phone call. Come on, it's only YOUR country!

CBA, I'm glad to see you're still upbeat and fighting. In the movies, Mr. Smith beats the big bad Taylor machine. In real life, the Taylor machine wins every time. The last election we were given a "choice" of G.W.Dipsh_t or Mr. Weiner Kerry. I held my nose and voted for Kerry ONLY because ANTHING had to be better than Bush.

When I was growing up we use to laugh at the Soviet elections with only one party and one candidate. Can I really say that today, we are any better? No.

Ron Paul’s perspective has added great merit and value to highlight one workable roadmap for a better America.

Disappointingly, these roads are increasingly less traveled by most of today’s super polished politicians. Figuratively speaking, they prefer the highway to hell; lobbyism, cronyism, special interest, and selfishness have stolen the very sole of national public service.

What was once a “calling” to serve the greater good has now simply become a “career”.

Crime and politics have three things in common Motive, Intent, and Opportunity.

Voters are victims of this political felony. Our democratic system has mutated into a monster fed by tax payers and arrogantly ruled by a small circle of aloof dynasties of self anointed blue bloods.

The old adage is true – if we don’t learn from history we are certainly doomed to repeat it………..over and over again.

Let the voter beware!

Ron Paul simply has no place in american. No one that is that far to the right will ever appeal to a mainstream america. To win the presidency you have to have first, alot of money. Second you have to be moderate enougth to not alienate fellow Republicans so that they vote for democrats. Neither of which Paul did with much villition.

The US constitution has no place in America..then we are doomed......

Yup - now the only choice is "none of the above."

Wish Huckabee would do the same.

Paul had a better chance winning the race for the next cult leader for Heaven's Gate than for president. Look at his supporters. Bunch of conspiracy nut whackjobs.
And if you don't vote for Paul then you're against the constitution right? What a joke you people are.

in response to Paulwho who wrote "Paul had a better chance winning the race for the next cult leader for Heaven's Gate than for president. Look at his supporters. Bunch of conspiracy nut whackjobs.
And if you don't vote for Paul then you're against the constitution right? What a joke you people are."

Well, you must have been following us closely somehow with all the media blackout of our candidate-must have been some interest there-bet your voting for McCain- No, your not against the constitution if you don't vote for Paul you nutjob- your against the future of freedom, prosperity and hope for America....and as to conspiracy...you must question everything or you'll fall for anything...

"...or you'll fall for anything?" So we're quoting song lyrics now to support our unviable candidate? Is that what "Dr. Paul" has been pushing to keep hope alive? It is impossible to get away from Paul's "enthusiastic" supporters, as they are all over the net, in every blog, at the end of every news story. The fact is, Ron Paul would not even BE a candidate if not for the free publicity of the WWW. He should thank his stars that the good folks of Texas put up with him in Congress, and keep his presidential ambitions on his bedside table where they belong. Attention Ron Paul Supporters: There Is No Conspiracy! The World Is Not Out To Get You Or Your Candidate! Life Will Continue After This Election, No Matter Who Wins! Just like it continued after Bush won...remember?

My guess is that Paulwho doesn't think outside the box too much, doesn't challenge the status quo to much, doesn't examine life too much.

At least Ron Paul is capable of critically analyzing complex issues and coming up with original solutions for them.

Its discouraging to think, that with all of the religious freaks in this world and especially in America and these foreign trade agreements that have gone overseas, and all of the American Republic that has been sold to Spain, China, Southeast Asia, the Philipines and India, I find it unbelievable that these same descriptive creatures continue to elect the very people who have sold out the American Ideals that hundreds of thousands of American youth, highschool kids have died or have been sacrificed in the name of God and country and just plain American blood spilled for oil and just plain stupidity to prove that we are the worlds superior nation. It doesnt take a war to prove a nations superiority, but it does take people with intelligence and cunning to maintain a decent, respectable image for the world to look up to. We have been without a true leader for many years and it may be too late to gain any respect.

Yes colorado4obama, we DO remember when Bush won. We also remember the needless war he started. We remember the 4000+ American lives lost. We remember the thousands of innocent Iraqis lost. We remember the billions of dollars in debt he left us in. How's all of that working out for ya? Judging by your belief that all Ron Paul supporters are conspiracy nuts, it looks like you REALLY did your research on him. What do you do, listen to a 10 second sound bite from FOX news?

Hey Ralph, sing along with me.. "We're poor little SHEEP who have lost their way, baaaa baaaa baaaa" The song really seems to fit America right now.

The US is not being sold to any other country. Its national government was sold to country neutral corporations that have no concern for the populace of any nation other than the money it can get. More laws and actions are taken for their benefit than for the people of the nations. Wars are fought for their benefit not for the people of the nations. They have chosen the puppets you get to choose from and don't care which because they are in their pocket.

Ron Paul campaign isn't done, primary's aren't done. News media doesn't have a clue about him, or his people, so they don't understand his message. Stating life didn't change after Bush is right, it changed a long time ago before the Carters, Bushes and Clintons etc. If we really lived in the country that was formed by the Constitution there would be no "machine" running the country. To the majority of Americans the Constitution is such a dirty old word, so out of style, just like individualism & freedom. Which is why you're a kook if you support such unpopular ideas like that.

If Ron Paul does not get the nomination for the republican party, and won't run as a third party, what stops me from giving a write in vote on an absentee ballot for Ron Paul?

Good riddens to Paul. As far as I'm concerned no one from texas should be allowed to run for pres for at least the next 100 years. Bush loving freaks

Ron Paul never had a chance. I love his libertarian views especially with Wayne Allyn Root as the libertarian candidate. Root is a professional swindler who runs 'gambling picks' from a 1-900 line! So Paul's 10% were the libertarians siding with their old party as it used to be for small gov't. Now its time to be realistic. McCain, Hilly, Obama. Two are of the old guard. One is of the new guard. For college, he attended both Occidental (known as Oxy which Rush Limbaugh loves) and Columbia (so he should work on his NY advertising). For me, the only way to change from the old-guard high-spending dynasties is to vote for Obama. I suggest everyone do their own research and come to that conclusion. Do we want our kids or grandkids to keep going to Iraq when scammed by army recruiters? No. Billybob Clinton, the first black president, did some great things, but satan-forbid if his `93 health care plan would have gained backing. Obama in my mind hasn't been in the biz enough to maneuver backroom deals yet just long enough to know how to make correct decisions.

I did not realize that I was a conspiracy nut. I thought that I was for Ron Paul for some simple reasons that I guess are no longer much believed in America. I wish for an American currency that is connected to precious metals rather than being continually devalued through monetary inflation. I wish for a nation where as a century ago, 90%of taxes were paid to county, cities, and townships and the other 10% went to state and federal government. I wish for an America where we would once more be the defenders of only our own liberty and that it could be truly said we did not go out into the world to seek out monsters to destroy. I wish for an America where large corporations did not write regulatory laws to restrict competition in the name of progress. I guess that makes me a conspiracy nut. I probably will never see anything like the America I would like. But for some of us, ron Paul was a nice breathe of fresh air.

Ron Paul is too good for the fools in the country.
When people resort to calling him and his supporters name it's only a sign that they are limited in their knowledge of Foreign Policy, Federal Reserve, the Media, Sound Money, Terrorism, Nation Building, Policing the World, and the Economy.

Those who laugh at him now, will be crying when, New Draft HR 393 is approved, we finally go bankrupt because we keep borrowing from China guess who pays that back with interest?, job keep leaving, Federal Reserve continues to devalue the dollar via runaway printing, guess who pays that back with interest?, we acquire new wars in Iran, Pakistan and run our troops to the ground, taxes go up to pay for these wars, I could go on and on but that would be only the beginning.

The Republican and Democrats are one in the same. Obama's TOP advisors are former BUSH/Clinton advisors. So a vote for Clinton is a vote for Obama and a vote for McCain (he won't win that's not in the plan) is a vote for driving this country down to the ground.

We don't deserve Ron Paul. And I for a moment will be cynical to say: I can't wait to see it all!!!!!

Rep. Murtha addressing

"“We are familiar with the visible costs associated with the war in Iraq and the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families are making. We have lost almost 4,000 troops, over 28,700 have been wounded and we have appropriated nearly $535 billion. American troop levels in Iraq have increased to 160,000 while coalition forces have decreased from 47,500 in 2003 to 10,600 today.

“We are less familiar with the hidden costs associated with the war in Iraq, and these will have long-term consequences. Every penny of the $535 billion appropriated thus far has been borrowed; this doesn’t even include over $300 billion for the rest of FY08 and FY09. I’ve been saying for years that you can’t fight an endless war AND cut taxes. You can’t put a trillion-dollar war on a credit card and leave the bills for our children to pay. The same Americans sacrificing in Iraq today will be paying for this borrowed war for the rest of their lives. "

Over 250 million people in this
country and this is supposed to
be the cream of the crop?
