Will you vote for a man or woman who has voted for the Patriot Act?
Will you vote for a man who supports the Homegrown Terrorism Act which threatens anti-war, anti-corporate, and other dissenters with the label of Terrorist and prosecution under the Patriot Act.
Will you vote for a woman who voted for the Iraq war we all despise. One who has said, "In dealing with this [Iranian] threat as I have said for a very long time, no option can be taken off the table." Sounds familiar doesn't it.
Will you vote for a man who says we should be "getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan." That somehow getting bogged down in Afghanistan and making the same mistake as Bush is preferable to Iraq. Or threatening Pakistan's soveriegnty by saying, "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will. "
This story sounds all too familiar. He also echo's Clinton's and Bush's words with his own, "[concerning Iran] we should take no option, including military action, off the table." Which means in newspeak, we all support pre-emptive strikes.
Obama claims to not take Lobbyist money, but with a closer look “the same wealthy interests are funding his campaign as are funding other candidates, whether or not they are lobbyists.”
Both candidates will not say they can have the troops out of the war they claim to oppose, even by the late date of 2013.
And then we move on to how Bush's irresponsible spending over the past 7 years has caused the value of the Dollar to drop below the value of the Canadian Dollar. This causes the rise in costs of living that wipe out the middle class and poor in the price of gasoline, food, and other necessities. But we can see that all the candidates' economic plans would increase this irresponsible spending which ruins the lives of those they pander to.

That is, all except for One.
Ron Paul.
He takes 2nd place in Nevada, beating all but Romney.
He takes 1st or 2nd place in Louisiana, but they won't finish the vote count before Super Tuesday, so as to deprive him of his title.
He takes 2nd place in Maine with 35% of the delegates ahead of "the unbeatable" McCain, while the media only shows the meaningless "straw poll" result.
In all these states he has blown away the media's precious polls. If you haven't figured it out yet, these are just one of many ways of manipulating the vote towards their prefered elite, corporate candidates.
If you haven't heard the Media report on these, you are not alone. The blackout on Paul's underground revolution to return the Republican party to it's conservative, sensible, and moderate roots is deafening.
I don't see any other candidate standing up for the issues we can all agree on. Getting out of the Iraq war, ending the Patriot Act, ending torture, stopping infringements like the Homegrown Terrorism Act, and balancing the budget so we can make good on the promises to our elders. And Paul's Constitutional stance on social issues like Abortion and Gay marriage is the only one which removes these from the grip of Federal Govt, and thus removes them as political tools which divide us.
He has also said this is the beginning of a marathon to the Convention. He is in this to win. Don't let the media control your vote. The revolution will not be televised. We must spread it by word of mouth and through the New Media. Emails, chat rooms, forums, and youtube. For those who still don't feel they know him well enough, here's his family history, written by his wife, Carol.
The Media has been misrepresenting his positions to appeal to people's fear ever since he hit the airwaves. As far as I can tell, he only differs substantially from Democrats on which level of Government should be responsible for Social Programs. So if you have any concerns about him, please ask and I will try to clear it up.
