It's no surprise that only about 5% of the population was behind Dr. Paul and his message of freedom, liberty and personal choice and responsibility. Throughout history, the mindless drones of society chug along, and it's always a very small minority of people who, in the end, affect real change in the world. We still have hope, and always will, just like our fathers did in the centuries past, our time will come one day...

Ron Paul is "The Thinking man's Ralph Nader". The biggest problem with Ron Paul is that he is actually a Libertarian, not a Republican, and the news media figured this out a long time ago and all agreed to ignore him. Libertarians have never been taken seriously, even though Ron Paul is the best candidate they've ever come up with. But just as Huckabee stayed in the race to be sure Romney got ousted, the entire Republican zoo decided months ago that if they all ignored Ron Paul he would go away. Most politicians know that Americans DON'T vote for brains; we vote based on charisma and how much money is spent on campaigning, especially when these two factors combine into one candidate. Ron Paul is a quiet thinker, but we prefer noisy non-thinkers.

Reality and Reason apparently won't stop the PaulNut Revolution either.

Yeah, Ron Paul is "nuts" to actually think Americans would take responsibility for our own actions and to imagine that we DON'T want the government regulating us from womb to tomb.

Ron Paul IS what Republicans WERE.

JR - If Ron Paul is a nut, then I say we need more nuts like him.

Ron Paul has been and still is the only true Republican in this race. Just ask McCain. He even calls himself a liberal. Make no mistake, Ron Paul is still in this race. As soon as McCain gets done putting both feet in his mouth and can no longer hold an intelligent conversation (like he ever could), the country will realize that Ron Paul is the only candidate with any real solutions.

If people who are smart enough to support Ron Paul still want to change the world, think what we could accomplish if we all worked together. The election which was regulated by the media wasn't the best medium for change. In the future things may become so drastic to consider change by force.

Everyone should educate themselves on the CFR - Council on Foriegn Relations. They control both parties AND the media. They are the true enemy within, slowly building power and influenc since the early 1900's, toward a socialist "dream" of one-world government.

If this is what you believe in, rejoice! It is coming, and a lot sooner than you think.

THEIR (CFR-Bilderberg-Trilateral Commision, et.al.) dream is our (THE PEOPLE's) worst nightmare.

Get a clue, everybody knows McCain won by fraud and the NWO is going to get what's coming. NOBODY punks out the american people like this... NOBODY.

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." -Samuel Adams

Paul's been repeatedly re-elected as a Republican. He was the 2008 presidential candidate that was actually endorsed by Reagan during past congressional runs.
The neo-cons put up their poor excuse for a conservative to oppose his district 14 congressional re-election. The voters sent chris peed-on and his pedenphiles packing in a 70%-30% route.

Wake - Up ABC who do you think you are really fooling we know who we voted for and its none of the names you talk about how does it feel selling your soul for a dollar and a dime

If JohnMcChain could win the RePubs. nom, then something is wrong with the GOP(Good?OldParty). No chance against Obama or whining Hallary. LOL

The whitewashing corporate media succeeded in keeping Paul's face off the television screen. What idiot americans don't see on TV is what they don't know. This country is damned, not because of our leaders, but because of all the damn sheep out there who refuse to wake up!

If it's a reasonable goal, it would really be good for Paul and the Paulites to try and put a few people who think more or less like Paul in the Congress as soon as they can manage it (with those people possibly drawn straight from the movement itself).

For it is a lot harder to dismiss even a few principled men in positions of authority than just one lone voice in the wilderness of the United States Congress.

Also, I tend to think that the Ron Paul movement should try to stay within the Republican Party as everything outside the two-party system is destroyed (please see Party, Green). Now of course, Paul hasn’t been treated fairly by the Republican Party over the years and even forgetting about this year, they’ve been other times where they ran some guy against Paul in the primaries just to try and take him out.

However, as long as you’re putting up a Republican (which happily creates irrevocable result that the RNC only goes after you in the Primaries), all you have to do is beat whoever they dig up in the Republican Primary and that candidate is home free to the Congress as long as the district is pretty conservative in it’s orientation.

Where are some open seats where you wouldn’t have to face an incumbent?

Anyway, whether Ron is given some company in Washington or not, I think there’s real potential for what Paul started to become a fairly significant bloc in the Republican Party that will prevent the “Bush’s idea of invading Iraq must be the tough conservative thing to do given that there’s no significant Republican opposition” kind of thing where everyone major marches in lockstep because they’re all beholden to the same people.

People who sincerely wanted to invade Iraq weren’t really the problem, it was the Senators and Congressmen who supported it out of their fealty to the conventional political wisdom of the time and due to the stifling spirit of conformity so often found in Washington who were. These are the one who made many people in this Country feel like the system was just a sham with no real conflict of ideas and beliefs.

Anyway, if Stagflation comes again soon, which is all too possible given how poorly the current head of the fed has handled, well, everything, Paul will look like a prophet to those of us who've actually gotten the monetary part of his message.

Thus it is the continued and weirdly intentional devaluation of the American Currency which, in my humble opinion, should be STRONGLY emphasized by Paul's movement as otherwise any coming Stagflation may have all been for nothing from the standpoint of teaching the American people a thing or two about economics.

Also, the guy above who noted Ron Paul was endorsed by Ronald Reagan made an excellent point, and the strong appeal a man with Reagan’s beliefs and open-mindedness had with Republicans should be an important cause for hope on the part of Ron Paul supporters.

It takes time and hard work to grow power in a party so that you go from being “nuts” to being “important coalition partners worthy of respect and with ideas worthy of influence over how the Country is run”, but it certainly can be done and has of course been accomplished many times throughout history (for otherwise Political History would never move and instead just sit there!).

Ron Paul's fifteen minutes of Fame
