Good news for the few Republicans that care about principle and character.

RON PAUL 2012

Clear. Consistent. Honest. Responsible.

http://www.whatthehellbook.com/the-book/

Yeah!!!!!! There is hope for the republican party! Ron Paul is the only consistent candidate in the party. I might not agree with some of his statements but he is at least honest and consistent. Can’t say the same for the flip floppers like Romney, Perry and Newt. There are also liars like Michelle “Obama spent billions on Indian trip” Bachmann and Herman “I did not harass hat woman” Cain

I just love how the Liberal commenters are lauding Ron Paul. They are licking their chops because if he is the nominee, they believe he will be roadkill against Obama.

Be careful what you wish for Libbies. “Frank Perdue” just might kick your guy’s butt.

i hear it coming.. fake rino republicans’ next excuse–the entire state of iowa doesn’t exist.  their people are peculiar.  they are not ordinary americans.  ron paul can convince one state, but because the people in this state are so strange, he won’t have any success convincing any others.  where did the rumors all begin?  just a bunch of internet spammers, right?  what’s the next excuse, the whole eastern coast was caught in mass hallucination?

Paul is no where to be seen on any of the other state polls.  Iowa is isolated, the media has reason the believe it’s still a two man race and really, it isn’t even that unless Newt makes a major slip.

If you’re in the MSM and reading this, don’t count Paul out. Be on the right side of history. Ron Paul 2012.

No, roadkill would be Newt.   Ron Paul would be tough to vote against for many liberals.

Who are you kidding? A Ron Paul win in Iowa gives his campaign momentum throughout the rest of the early primaries. Iowa is big.

You are probably right on both accounts.

Ron Paul is the enema that Washington D.C. so desperately needs. While no one agrees with him on absolutley everything, I think the majority of us agree that he is the only one we can trust, and that he is the only one that says what he means and means what he says. I cannot wait until Ron Paul shocks the world on January 3rd, winning the Iowa caucuses. If Ron Paul wins New Hampshire 7 days later, he just may be the 45th President of the United States. Wow.

Paul @ 18% in NH as well … 3% behind Newt and only 8% out of the lead there. It’s not a one trick pony. 

Paul will win Iowa but the narrative in the mainstream media will be about *insert second place winner* having a great showing.  I wonder if anyone in the mainstream media will apologize for completely ignoring and marginalizing Ron Paul the past 4 years?

Paul is running a close second in NH (like the article says) and he’s 3rd in SC and FLA (though in single digits as of the last polling). Iowa is not a make or break state for the nomination but it could secure support and fundraising to get Paul to Super Tuesday if he wins Iowa.

Yeah, just like it did to Mike Huckabee

He will never win the nomination, no one is even running ads against him.  He’s a complete non factor, the second anyone runs a negative ad against him he’s gone.  The man thinks the US Government puts fluoride in our water in order to control out minds, he’s bat shit crazy.  This is just one poll as well and is a complete outlier to all the other polls which give Newt a ten point lead

Yeah, just like George W Bush.  Oh, wait.

Yeah, just like Bob Dole.  Oh, wait again.

Huckabee was an exception. The winner of the Iowa Caucus usually winds up the nominee for their respective party.
2008: Obama
2004: Kerry
2000: Gore
1996: Clinton

I hate that the like button is right next to the reply button, I truly do.

Does it even need to be said why your reasoning is stupid? 

Bob Dole almost lost to Pat Buchanan in Iowa.  PAT BUCHANAN.  Iowa voters are insane, they’ve even grown crazier since the 2008 election and further to the right.  The polls don’t lie, Paul is way behind everywhere and he’s really been skating by up until now.  He has no shot, sorry, pothead

It’s gonna be fun to watch those old neo-conservatives become unhinged when Ron Paul wins the GOP nomination.  Keep the meltdown coming “RhapsodyinBlue”!

Saying every poll Paul has won or done well in is an “outlier” is like saying every shot Kobe Bryant makes is “lucky.”

Hmm…guess not :OP

Well look here… A sheeple claims that Ron Paul thinks the government puts fluoride in the water to control the peoples minds….care to back that up with some facts?  As in quotes from Ron Paul saying this?  There’s a problem with smug moronic people like you..it’s obvious that your talking points and name calling comes straight from whichever talking head fake news opinion show you are addicted to.  So instead of calling names and making accusations..give some reasoning and some backup for your claims..I’ll be waiting while the crickets continue chirping….. Bad sheep!

Am I the only one that notices the emptiness of the supposed arguments against Ron Paul?  Take ole rhapsodyinblue for example.  Lots of name calling and rudeness, but absolutely nothing to back up his words.  In fact he says “The man thinks the US Government puts fluoride in our water in order to control out minds, he’s bat shit crazy. “  So where’s the substance?  Show me the quote from Ron Paul stating this.  His other argument is that no one is running attack ads at Ron Paul…well no kidding Sherlock…what are you going to attack?  The man has been warning us about the current state of affairs for over 30 years!  His battle has always been the same and it began with the untying of our currency from the gold standard.  Anyone who studies history knows that was on of the final steps in the beginning of our end.

You can pretty much tell which moronic talking head news opinion shows  people are addicted to, by how they address Ron Paul and his supporters.  Simply repeaters repeating nonsense because they can’t take enough time away from their television to look into things for themselves.  These buffoons are the reason we are where we are.  Ron Paul 2012…take that one to the bank.

Go to any wackjob site about fluoride and you’ll see Ron is a hero to them.  Their argument all centers around it being mind control a few nutjob dentists being against it as well.  You spend all day on the internet calling people sheep and defending Ron Paul, it’s a shame you’re too stupid to realize what irony is.

Kobe Bryant had made more than one shot.  In fact, Ron Paul is still losing in this poll, so he didn’t even make this one.  The poll is by the PPP, a poll that leans heavily democratic.  Try not to get too crazy about it

Does this mean the President can assassinate every Paul supporter for providing aid to terrorists?  

lol

So now a candidate, in your little mind, believes everything that every supporter believes?  And I’m the stupid one?  I’m guessing that you are in love with Bill O’Reilly.  Not one to use facts and substance..simply call your opponent names and cheer yourself on and try to talk down anyone who doesn’t agree with you.  I guess your candidate doesn’t have any supporters who think outside your little box?  Do tell us who you support.  I can promise you, that through your logic, I can prove that they are crazy and believe some “insane” things.  Put up or shut up bozo.

Wow…look it’s you again…calling names instead of putting up a sound argument.  You are definitely an addict of that moron Bill O’Reilly. 

Nice to see you here!  DinOK

Rhapsody, you picked the right tune. You will in fact be very “blue” when your schtick hits the fan and you end up looking like an idiot. You know the truth, right? You know that Ron Paul is cleaning up, and you also know that he’s been the only one with consistent growth in his numbers. We can see by your posts that you’re not dealing with reality, but as soon as you remove those colored glasses (blue are they?) you’ll be smelling the coffee..  Time to wake up now…
nap’s over..

When and where has Paul ever endorsed the fluoride conspiracy-theory?  Are you so very afraid of the man that you will resort to outright smears against him?

This is the latest poll to show 2 developing trends: Ron going up, Newt coming down.  Deal with it.

Nope, they’re all too smug to diminish their own credibility in the eyes of their viewers. If O’Reilly ever admits Paul is a top tier candidate, I’d bet his viewership drops by at least 500K over the next few nights/week.

Legally, he can. The patriot act sucks when it comes to the unprecedented power it gave to the executive. . 

Those are not enough data points to produce a pattern. BTW…I hope Paul wins. He does have a great chance in Iowa.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of Republicans would rather sit out than vote for Ron Paul against Obama in a GE. He absolutely scares them when it comes to social issues and foreign policy. Also, an iconoclastic potus like Paul would actually unite congress against him. One man can’t change the system.

It’s interesting to note that liberals are noting the hypocrisy of the Republicans and even Fox news for trying to cover up news on Dr. Paul.  Maybe it’s because Fox has attempted to hold CNN and MSNBC to the fire for their blindness on vetting Obama, but are not guilty of the same bias. 

Secondly, it’ also interesting to note that Juan Williams, a liberal, described the times we are living in to the National Press Club, not as “The age of Obama,” but rather said that “we are living in the age of Ron Paul.” 

yessir

Horrible news however for the Obama puppets.

Are “liberals” really that willing to vote for a guy that will do everything in his power to destroy the powerful and oppressive centralized government that “liberals” so desperately want to see come to fruition?

It sure sucks that Obama, AKA the great “liberal” hope, expanded it’s life and power.

I’m a commie liberal and I would vote for Ron because of his courage to oppose the wars.and Patriot act – end of story.

Obama is not progressive and he is a shill for corporate rapists – Ron Paul is cool.

Is their some reason you are not able to get irony even in the slightest (besides the fact you’re running low on brain power)?

I know Ron Paul will never win anything outside of the affection of many internet trolls.  He’s literally insane, literally

Please seek psychological help

Definitely a BIG disappointment from civil libertarians like myself. Let’s see whether he will veto that defense bill that cleared the US Senate that has language that infringes American citizen civil liberties even further.

I’d never vote for Paul, but I’d love to see him win Iowa – just to see Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity’s heads explode.

in 3 weeks everyone will know
exactly what Mitt Gingrich is
and what Newt Romney is

One can hope that he will do the right thing. But I won’t hold my breath.

PPP poll is unreliable its a biased liberal poll group.  I’ll wait for another poll to see if its really accurate or just wishful liberal daydreams. 

Here is a link to a GOP Scorecard that is an easy-to-read
rating of the GOP candidates on conservative issues.  Ron Paul ranks very high!!

http://www.libertyandhope.blogspot.com/

I think it’s time we unite behind him and we take Obama
down!!

One man is changing the world.

Who? 

Conservatives are not anti-humanitarian, and liberals are not monsters.

This is all about economics and education, and yes they will vote for him.

And in the next couple of years, all of the members of congress are going to have a very short window of opportunity in which to decide who they represent.

The game is over.

Ron Paul has always been Obama’s worst nightmare, ever since the MTV debate in 2008 where Obama and Paul went head to head, and the kids applauded Paul more!

http://www.cnbc.com/id/45662343 

Wake up bro! It’s gonna hit you like a frying pan in the face.

Just wait. Obama-Paul may be the most epic debate scenario of all time. The 6’0 aged Congressmen will school the 6’5 rookie POTUS

Don’t worry. Should Paul win the nomination, the neo-cons will launch a 3rd party run (Trump, perhaps). The ‘Goldman Sachs’ of the world will not stand for a Ron Paul presidency. And neither should you.

Obama won’t. New info. Watch this if the website posts the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLiKvSz_wX8

“Throw em all out.” That’s the most common thing I hear from rural Southeastern folks. Paul comes the closest to pulling that off. Imagine a world where the establishment doesn’t exist.

Just wait ’til Ron Paul wins Iowa. I predict a landslide for Ron Paul.
- Iowa GOP straw poll:
Ron Paul 2nd: 27% Paul, 28% Bachmann (only 200 more votes than Paul,
which is statistically a tie for 1st). (17,000 participants ,
$30/each)
- Iowa NFRA straw poll:
Ron Paul wins: 82% Paul, 14% Cain. (400 participants)
- Iowa Dubuque Tea
Party straw poll: Ron Paul wins: 52 votes Paul, 24 votes Newt. (90
participants)
The only polls thus far
of real in person Iowa voters: Ron Paul, 1st place. Real voters, not
telephone polls of likely voters. Ron Paul is the Iowa front-runner. And Ron Paul has won the most straw polls of real voters, in the most states. Way more than any other Republican candidate. Newt has won 1 straw poll; Ron Paul has won more than 20.Ron Paul will win 2012. Get ready for it. :)

It would be nice if DISQUS would just accurately post comments without reformatting them so they look like jumbled messes.

You are going to be one Blue Boy next November..  Your comments to these other people regarding Ron Paul aren’t going to alter the inevitable. You can read, you can see, you can hear and you will certainly weep like hell when you wake up the day after the election to see that you weren’t having a nightmare… President Ron Paul will be looking right at YOU, o’ blue one… 

Actually, I think you’re just a shill for Ron Paul and you’re using this for entertainment..  Fess up.. you’re a Paultard.

(Rhapsody in Blue is a Ron Paul plant. Don’t pay any attention to his comments. He’s is as excited as the rest of us about Ron Paul. )

Rhapsody, you can’t possibly be that ignorant to the facts or that stubborn to deny what’s happening with Ron Paul..   You know, putting your fingers in your ears and doing the LA LA LA! thing doesn’t work in this case.

I guess you’re going to have a bad year in 2013… the rest of us will be in a really good mood..   It’s not do or die though.. you’ll come around eventually.

Man oh man, Rhapsody.. you are running away from the Ron Paul success at full speed. He scares you that much? I see lots of comments, talk about flouride in the water, BUT I see nothing that resembles a good position or argument.. You GOT one? Apparently not.. If you do, write it down.. otherwise you’re just a heckler with your hat on too tight.

No, and he never claims that “he alone” will fix it either, that’s the difference with Ron, he is about letting people know that THEY matter, and this is a group effort, government is at fault, but the people on both sides of the aisle need to stop passing the blame and realizing how they’ve been so busy fighting their left/right war they never noticed that all along the politicians Dem or Rep were robbing them blind and laughing all the way.

I agree. A RP Republican nom triggers an “independent” 3rd party candidacy. Bloomberg, Huntsman, Trump, Sarah Palin….who knows. :)

I think we’ll need to put Rhapsody on suicide watch, seriously..  he’s got it bad.. can’t tell who or what he DOES believe in, but Ron Paul’s got him running for clean underwear…

Corporate money would start pouring in against Paul if he ever got close to the presidency and they would get behind a third party candidate.  Corporations fear Ron Paul.   

Come on….that’s just a platitude. Let’s be practical. The establishment will still preserve status quo. A dissenting President is powerless with a unified congressional chamber. You better believe they will be unified when Paul challenges their institution. There will be the most Presidential veto over-rides in history. I personally think it’s more important voting in like minded members of congress. A President’s power is very limited when it comes to effecting policy. He can’t do squat with a hostile congress. 

Damn. There goes the “unelectable” argument.

Tight race for the Republican nomination! Gingrich and Romney in tie for second and third place!

No. The neocon elephant asses better get on board or else four more years of Obama. It’s just that simple. Of course the conservatives might prefer the “statist quo” with Obama.

Who says that liberals are for “oppressive centralized government”?  This is what Rush, Hannity, etc. insist liberals are all about.  But they’re wrong. The whole 99% thing is about big business’ and big finance’s influence of Washington.  Ron Paul has some credibility in that area.  So, yes, I can see some liberals voting for him.

I’d like to see the fight.

There won’t be any puppets left, if Paul wins Obama is toast. I say that as a former liberal.

Yes, I truly believe they would vote for Ron Paul over Obama in droves once he makes his case on federal corruption. 

Even if that were to happen, it’s difficult to predict that Paul wouldn’t still make it. He has the support from a LOT of progressives and independents. 

Yeah. I hate when I accidentally give someone a “like” instead of giving them hell.

You do realize if Paul becomes president he wouldn’t get any of his radical agenda passed in the first place, right? Paul is currently signing off on budgets now that completely fly in the face of the stuff he says. He will be no different than your run of the mill Republican in office. But then again, there’s a better chance of Jimmy Carter becoming President again than Ron Paul, so why do I bother wasting my time with run of the mill Ron Paul trolls.

Yeah? and say goodbye to your Bill of Rights and everything else the Government is supposed to be limited to by the Constitution

Suit yourself.

He’s going no where, they won’t let him. Too disruptive to their monopoly on power

I’m betting (not $10,000 though) that 1) polling coverage in Iowa will now cease, and 2) the caucuses themselves will cease to be newsworthy.

There may be veto over-rides, but remember the president has complete control over the military so he can change a lot with that!  Not only that, the departments he wants to eliminate are under the executive branch!  But it would be an interesting couple of years!

 Ron Paul will pull a boatload of liberal and progressive voters – the anti-war activists, and the weed smokers!

Perhaps…but it would be really bloody. 

BINGO its about time, the man can win and stop the spending to nations because WE ARE BROKE   

“Say goodbye to your Bill of Rights”, etc?  uh, excuse-em-wah? I believe you will find that Ron Paul, if that’s who you are referring to, will get our Rights back for our country. That’s what he is fighting for, as well as he has been consistant and unchanged in his beliefs for over 30 years. The only one in his catagory. He’s not a puppet of the the alleged notorious, N.W.O. Unless we’re all lookin’ at FEMA camps in the near future, when elected, he will bring the old America back. I for one, hope there will be a BIG change  to be rid once and for all, of the  currently “occupying” anointed one, in the W.H. Just sayin’, friend.

So should we just give up….and then do what? I would also like to point out that I agree we definitely need to keep up on what’s going on with our Congressmen and Senators, and for that matter our governors, mayors, etc, the point is tho right now most “outsider” candidates are discouraged from even running, if Paul wins more than anything I think it will inspire potential candidates and more importantly the people to get out of this left/right paradigm they’ve been stuck in for so long.

“conservative pundit” Joe S….bwahahaha; thanks for the morning laugh.

for whatever reason there is no reply under thapsodyinblue’s ignorant comment to me.  So I must ask once again…where is your sound argument?  Who do you support?  All you do is call names and call people stupid.  Like I said..you are obviously a religious follower of that pinhead O’Reilly.  Must be easy just having some talking head fill your brain with the “truth” daily and not having to think for yourself.

Ron is bigger than the republican party.

I agree with you there. 

If Ron Paul gets the nomination, that occurrence by the very fact that it happened would tell us that the electorate is informed, and therefore unafraid of Dr. Paul’s policies. An informed electorate is death to Obama’s re-election. You have to realize that to be a Dr. Paul supporter, you can not be casual about it. You have to dig and research his positions and it takes some work. But once you do, you don’t have to go too far in to see the truth in it, and once you ring that bell, you can’t un-ring it. Myself a former hard line conservative just a few short months ago, I now fully get it. Thousands and thousands of liberal voters who were at one time pro Obama are also fully getting it. Independents are getting it, hence the formation of “The Blue Republicans” who are banding together in a movement with democrats and switching their party affiliation to Republican just for the primaries so they can make sure that Ron Paul is on the ballet in the General election.  There is no real republican or democrat party anyway. They are owned and run by the same people. Just looking at who their contributors are should tell us all we need to know. Ron Paul can win both the Republican nomination and CERTAINLY then, the general election. There is nothing that everybody doesn’t love about liberty. You just have to take the time to understand it. It’s been awhile since this country has seen it so understandably, it takes a little more effort to recognize it. Ron Paul 2012. 

Again, you must consider the dynamic of the people who voted Dr. Paul in as president. In your scenario, you are completely forgetting it. If Ron Paul becomes president it is because of the well informed electorate that put him there. Congress will respond to that electorate or they will loose their seat in more ways than one. Although it is certainly true that Dr. Paul is just one man, and that he above all else will not change things as a dictator in the way that has become the norm through executive orders, I think that congress is above all else self preserving. Once the people hear the power of their own voice, Congress will too. It’s unavoidable. 

Yeah – we’ve heard all of that before here in Iowa. Here’s one for you too. I saw Dr. Paul speak at Iowa State University this past Thursday night in Ames, Iowa. The lines stretched as far as a person could see – the Great Hall was overflowing. They had to open a large side room and people were STILL standing in the aisles. Locally, it was reported that there were at least 1300 in attendance with 1 report I saw that was as high as 2000. NPR reported that there were “several hundred”. So, they will do as they please in their reporting to satisfy their corporate owners. It’s our job as “we the people” to make sure we understand the message and pass it along to others every chance we get. We need to get our Liberty back. Please everyone, Vote in the caucuses if you are from Iowa on January 3rd 2011, and vote for Ron Paul!  Ron Paul 2012!!!!!

Ron Paul is 3rd and rising in New Hampshire. If his close 2nd means nothing with regard to Dr. Paul, why on earth would it mean anything for Newt with whom Ron Paul is in a statistical tie with? And certainly given your reasoning, we certainly can count out Romney alltogether then. Dr. Paul is doing exceeding well given the fact that he has done all of what he has done with the media all the while reporting that he absolutely can not win. Not to mention all the help the media gets by people who obediently parrot the corporate owned media’s chant. It seems to me, that people are coming around to thinking for themselves more and more these days. Thank God!!! 

You know, you can always tell a deep thinker by the name calling they engage in. Ha ha…. why is it that people who are so against Dr. Paul so often resort to such childish name calling. What are all these people? Like 5? I have said it before, I will say it again. To be a Ron Paul supporter you have to do your homework. Guess your dog ate yours again! :D

Newt has made many slips, he raked in 40 million from health care giants. 1.6 million to stop conservative legislators from ending government involvement with Freddie Mac. He supported the 700 billion dollar TARP bailouts. Co-sponsored over 400 bills with Nancy Pelosi. Voted for the DOE. Critized Obama for not instituting a no fly zone over Libya and then critized him for doing it. Newt is for sale to the highest bidder as are all Democrat and Republican politicans. If you want real change there is only one candidate that that’s not for sale and will not flip flop, Ron Paul.   

Bottom line…Ron Paul is the Only Hope for America. The others are
status Quo and we have been doing it their way for too many years…our
country is broke with their way of thinking and Ron Paul wants us to be a
Strong America Protecting OUR Country and not spending tax payers money
on protecting other countries at our expense…Ron also was the one who
initiated his vote to get Osama bin laden and they had osama in their
sites years before he was killed…Ron Paul brought it to the attention
of America that it was drawn out and for no reason…Ron said we should
have gone in and taken care of business and then get out…and That is
the kind of President that We Need…Not someone who wants to set up
encampments in other countries at Our Expense…that is why I like Ron
Paul…Get in and Get the Job done and then Get Out! Plus Ron has the
Only real plan to bring the U.S. out of bankruptcy…and if we have
another term with obama or someone else who is not focused on the
Economy and our Constitution then maybe the rest of the citizens will
finally realize the dire situation we are in…A Vote for Ron Paul…is a
Vote FOR America! Read more at http://www.RonPaul2012.com and let’s
Wake Up America to a Real Hero…Ron Paul for President of the United
States…YES!

You say that we are sheep!  Yes, we are the sheep of the good Lord!  You are a crony getting hand outs from Satan!  Satan has control over all the powerful movers and shakers and bankers of the world.  You are arrogant and smug about keeping the status quo.  All that matters is victory and results to you, not what is just!  For you, the ends justify the means.  If you believed in the good Lord, the means justify the ends!  If you do the right thing, that is what matters, not the result.  You are for the status quo, keeping the masses dumb and happy so they can’t challenge the power of the 1%.  You are a follower of their limitless arrogance and self-justification.  They control both the Democratic & Republican parties.  The Democratic parties appeases the poor masses with entitlements and entertainment.  The Republican party appeases some of the middle class and all of the upper class.  Your goal is to crush the entire educated middle class, that has the power to educate and empower the lower classes.  You are afraid of the lower classes joining the middle class to overthrow the 1% elite.  It is our duty as United States citizens, by due process, or if need be, by revolution to throw out the elite who are trying to rule us with tyranny.  You don’t believe in God, but one day you will have to answer and you can’t hide behind your masters forever.  Of course you’ll say that I’m crazy and should be ignored.  In the end, you only can serve one master, God or Satan.  If you don’t believe in a higher being, that you would acknowledge how short life is, and how you will return to the dust.  What is the weight of your smug comments when you are meaningless dust in the vast universe?  You don’t care about truth, because you are trying to escape it, by any means.  I bet you’re afraid of death.

After reading through all of these comments I believe that there is some truth in the fact that a Paul presidency could face a lot of congressional opposition. However no one would be able to hide and we know that Ron Paul would be the one telling us the truth.  The checks and balances are there for a reason and Paul supports and believes in that. He will change what he can and follow the Constitution which is more than I can say for anybody else. Ron Paul 2012!

You can leave out the Responsible and Honest parts Jackson Baer !
Consistant maybe but will that amount to a President that is unwilling to see both sides of a conversation . Honest well that depends on whether you think its honest to say that if Medicare /Medicaid , Social Security , and social programs that help the elderly, disabled and poor in this country were ended because churches and charities would help those people who depended on those programs to survive  . There simply aren’t enough churches and charities to help the millions of people who would be effected . We would see most of these people homeless and dying of neglect ! That is a more honest picture of what would happen if Ron Paul were elected president and was able to end these programs that help the least fortunate in this country.
Do you thing these elderly and disabled people could work at their age to support themselves without Social Security or even big cuts to SS ? If you think that then you really aren’t being honest or realistic . Those people would die of neglect ! A form of genocide that doesn’t kill you instantly !
Yes I agree with Ron Paul about closing bases in foreign countries ,I agree with ending the Federal Reserve and the Federal Income Tax ,I also agree with ending these wars and to stop being the bully on the block policing the world . All great ideas but making government small by making people homess taking away their only means of income ,starving people to death or freezing them to death by end the programs that help them to stay in their homes SS & HUD, be able to feed themselves ,Food Stamps and heat their homes HEAP .
Ron Paul is for ending these humane programs that help the least fortunate to survive . Put simply he is for survival of the fittest ,if you can’t work and support yourself or your income is insufficient to meet the cost of living because your poor ,elderly or disabled ,well then you don’t deserve to live .
Is this what you Ron Paul supporters really would like to see happen to the elderly ,disabled and poor in this country because that is an HONEST picture of reality with Ron paul as President ?

We’re certainly not stupid enough to vote for any Republican be it Tea Party or Libertarian who would insure that more Republican justices will sit on the Supreme Court for their lifetime demolishing our civil right and the Constitution !
Haven’t we already seen enough harm done by Thomas and Roberts making Corporations people allowing them to funnel as much money as they want into elections ? Don’t vote stupid ! If we want to stand a chance to change things around we have to vote Dem so we can appoint more Democratic justices when two of them retire in the near future . We need to get rid of the Bluedogs and put in real liberal Democrats and get rid of all the Tea Party crazies in Congress and the Senate . Congress and the Senate make the laws not the President ,we can vote smart in 2012 getting rid of all of those Republican’s ,Teabaggers and Bluedogs who are dragging this country down and give our President the majority in both houses . 
Obama would have to lean further left if he had a majority in both houses leaning left !
2016 is our time to make big changes in who we vote for President its no time to jump ship now ,we would be cutting off our noses to spite our faces,” as my mother would say “,!

Your wrong HitchRK ! With the Congress and the Bluedogs in the Senate that we have he would have the power to push through the end all social programs including dismantling Social Security ,Medicare / Medicaid which they are all for . He is not for the people as you seem to think because the majority of the people believe that the poor as well as the middle class in this country have have been trampled on by the deregulations of Wall Street and Ron Paul wants to deregulate corporations which would actually make life worse for these people not better .

Yes those departments that help the poor elderly and disabled to survive . What a wonderful country this would be as we watched our mothers , fathers and grandparents and those less fortunate freezing to death and starving on the streets !
What has happened to humanity in this country that they don’t give a damn what happens to the less fortunate ? So many of you need a heart transplant !

Liberty for who Cynthia Dobson Lanpher ? Certainly not for those who would be effected by his Libertarian/ Erin Rand agenda of survival of the fittest when the programs he dismantles throws them out in the cold to starve to death ! That would be in case you don’t know, the elderly ,disabled and working poor !
Oh your so educated on Ron Pauls agenda that you can only see from your narrow Republican peep hole ! The worst part of his agenda and the worst damage he could do if he were president is to end these programs !
There are not enough charities and churches to help the millions who would find themselves homeless , starving and freezing to death on the streets .

Are you forgetting that all these people you mentioned were also liked in all the other major states because they were Democrats and their message resonded to the needs of all the people and didn’t leave out the poor ,elderly and disabled who Ron Paul would see wiped off the face of the earth with his agenda to end all social programs including Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security ?

Sure just like I suppose it would be fun to watch your mother ,father and grandparents living on the streets if Ron Paul did win and their S.S. ,Medicare/Medicaid and any other social program they had to use to survive were taken away from them. Have fun explaining your crazy vote for Ron Paul to them then !

I’m not sure that is relevant. I was simply identifying a recent pattern of those who win the Iowa Caucus, usually goes on to be the party nominee.
The reason I displayed the Democratic candidates and not the GOP is that during the same period the GOP candidate was the incumbent.
2008: Huckabee (lost)
2004: G.W. Bush (unopposed)
2000: G.W. Bush 
1996: Dole
1992: G.H.W. Bush (unopposed)

I can not believe that any person with the true liberal values to help the eldely disabled and poor or any true environmentalist would ever think of voting for Ron paul for President . His views on Social Security ,Medicare/Medicaid and all social programs are anti-social in the true manner of Erin Rand .His views on the EPA are ant-environment as well .
If any would need to wake up its those who are thinking of voting for Ron Paul .
What is more important in a society is its humanity and the environment that sustains us !

Be careful what you wish for . If Ron Paul were to become president you would be throwing the elderly poor and disabled all under the bus ! Myself and millions of others will be knocking at your door for food and shelter and we won’t be too happy with your vote !

You are so confused I don’t even know where to begin. Go to his site and read his plan, there is nothing in there about ending SS, Medicare or Medicaid. He simply wants to give people an option to get out of it IF THEY WANT TO. Crazy concept eh, letting someone make their own decisions. BTW, you may want to understand those programs will crash without funding anyway, but I’d imagine you’re one of those who just says you want something but never give a thought as to how it will be paid for.

Ron Paul …. HAHAHAHA … what a waste of human effort.  The man who has done nothing but run his mouth for 24 years.  This man who takes on the appearence of a squirrley little weirdo would send this country into third world status before ever stepping one foot into the White House.  His foreign policies would set this country up as a target for every third world wacko  that wanted to make a name for themselves. Ron Paul the man who would offer our “friendship” to Iran and understands why they want a bomb. Weakness and timidity are Paul’s secret weapons … are they better then the tools afforded by the Patriot Act which Paul opposes? Do we really want to be France? I say to Ron Paul …” We want a border fence.  We don’t want drugs legalized.  We care about birth control methods. Should we really abolish the Federal Reserve … how will we pay for things without money”?  Ron Paul wants to lead by not leading … haven’t we had enough of that?  Ron Paul his supporters are spammers and cheats … remember the girl last election who said she was beaten up by anti-Paul people …. just say … Enough!

U are very miss informed quirky1 Ron Paul wouldn’t end those programs. Were are you getting your information?! He would end the wars and policing the world to help to pay for those programs because people have grown to be dependent on them. But he would give the option to young people to op-out the system sense they already know they ain’t getting anything back specially with the baby boomers retiring, not to mention that all those programs you named are in the negatives.

Lets not get started on Medicare/Medicaid because government intervention in healthcare have cause the prices to go up. Just think of it like student loans and grants, if the government already guarantees that a college/company is going to get X number of students/patients bc of loans and grants that the government guarantees, that college/company has already guarantees its survival in the market and has no need on dropping its tuition fees/prices to compete with other schools/companies.

Don’t get me wrong democrats are well intended but greed and corruption is impossible to control in such a bureaucracy. Obama can’t create jobs, if government could do that the Soviet system would still be around. I still believe doh that Ron Paul philosophy got some flaws and some balance is necessary were government needs to step in, if not I’m afraid the little guy would get abuse from large corporations, but he himself knows this, is not a perfect system but is the closes thing humanity has come up with.

At the end of the day we can continue with the welfare system but with the deficit rising everyone will suffer out of a currency crisis, and that right there, is what Paul is trying to avoid.

You’ve posted this a few times.  Here’s a few simple questions to think about. Are there other ways to help people other government subsidized programs? What happens if the government is not longer able to help these individuals? Can a person want to help people without believing the government nor long term handouts are the best way? Could creating dependency actually hurt more than it helps?
I hope this questions are helpful or atleast entertaining in the least. I know it’s personally changed the way I go about helping those in need.  

Ignorance at its finest. 

You need to do some reading…..

Liberal For Ron Paul. I think Ron Paul is stealing Obama votes LOL!  Obama is like a dictator!!! Or is one!! This defence Auth Act is straight from NAZI Germany!! We need someone that will veto that bill since Obama won’t and I know non of the other candidates will. Ron Paul is for liberty and his record shows for it.

“Ron Paul is first and foremost honorable, a statesman anddistinguished American. As a private businessman, he specialized in obstetricsand gynecology and delivered over 4,000 American babies. He has been married tothe same woman for over fifty years and is a father to five children,grandfather to eighteen grandchildren. He has taught his children to respectindividual rights and one of his sons, Rand Paul, is a United States Senatorfrom Kentucky and a medical doctor like himself. Ron Paul is not a racist or abigot despite MSM’s attempts to depict him otherwise.His knowledge regarding the economic woes our country faces is accurate andprecise; the foundation of which is a monetary practice of governmentoverprinting of the currency, overspending and over-taxation as well as afailed national policy of central economic planning.His wisdom on foreign relations can be disputed andchallenged but history has proven him correct on what happens when Washingtoninterferes in the sovereign issues of other nations. He is against war ingeneral and certainly against war undeclared unless by the U.S. Congress, unlikeKing Obama. He is a non-interventionist, not an isolationist. He fervently obeys and defends the United StatesConstitution. That’s the founding document that starts off with, “We The People”). He knows without a constitutional framework to restrain the illegal expansion of federal government power, politicians will behave in a perverse manner that will ultimately destroy the republic and the inalienable natural rights of the American people.He has stated unequivocally that he does not want to ruleour personal lives or habits or oversee the economy. He stands alone among allother republican candidates for President of the United States in 2012.You can write what you wish and color itas you see fit because Ron Paul protects your right to do so. But if you lovefreedom and liberty like me and the growing legions of Ron Paul supporters thenI suggest you consider for one moment what Abraham Lincoln did to the pressduring the War of Succession (a.k.a. “American Civil War”). “
