LADY RON PAUL HAS TO CAMPAIGN TO GET VOTES SO HE CAN BE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, AFTER HE BECOMES PRESIDENT, THEN HE CAN WORK ON THE BIG PROBLEMS, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO GIVE FALSE HOPE, ITS TIME FOR THE TRUTH AND RON STANDS FOR THE TRUTH, WHY DON;T WE START WITH A PRESIDENT THAT WE CAN TRUST.,AND GO FROM THERE. HE,S JOB RIGHT NOW IS GIVE THE AMERICAN VOTERS A CHOICE, GO WITH CORP. CANDIDATES OR GO WITH A CANDIDATE, THAT WILL BE A PRESIDENT BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE, WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. ANY CANDIDATE OTHER THAN DINNIS IS GOING TO FOLLOW BUSHS AGENDA, AND DINNIS HAS DROPED OUT OF RACE, AND I AM SORRY TO SEE THIS HAPPEN, BUT WE STILL NEED A PRESDIDENT WE CAN TRUST, WHAT OTHER CANDIDATE DO YOU HAVE IN MIND , I AM ALL EARS.

All the while Kucinich was being made invisible by the media, the Democratic Party (and also Democracy for America - DFA - the group that rose around Howard Dean's candidacy) has been silent. Not a peep. Why?There should be major league rage. Should I see this as further evidence that the Dem Party is really nothing more than another wing of the corporate stranglehold?

Things are looking glum indeed for the cause of freedom. There is absolutely no way Ron Paul will get the Republican nomination--the Republican voters are by and large in lockstep with those interested in maintaining the military-industrial complex in Iraq and worldwide--our only hope is if Ron Paul does what he said he's given little consideration to doing, namely running on a third-party ticket (Libertarian, Constitutionalist, or Independent). And then he'll be fighting against the billions of Bloomberg, who is all but assured to be jumping into the race AFTER the Primary.
Right now it's looking like it's going to be coming down to Clinton vs. McCain, who is slightly starting to edge out Romney. Without any other choices, there are many of us who just may want to crawl off somewhere and hide (myself being among them)!
Because with either candidate, expect a MASSIVE takeaway of our freedoms, either enacted from a runaway federal administration, or through backdoor deals with globalist groups such as the CFR or the UN. North American Union, anyone?

Just shows-to-go-ya that ALL things are possible, no matter how improbable anything may seem or be said, dictated or believed to be............
Instead of setting up and 'manning' the Kucinich campaign table at our caucus Feb. 5, I will write-in Dennis for my "caucus", vote! It will be a vote in standing for real Democratic Process and Sustainment! If we cannot, or do not stand up in this for Democratic Choice in our government, what are we doing and what then do we empower and sustain as left to us by NOT doing so??? As all else, to "have" Democracy, we must ourselves BE the Democratic Choice and Democracy Itself! This is most likely my "last election cycle" (too likely everyone else's also!) and I will NOT waste my vote! THIS vote will COUNT!
It is up to US, to BE the one's we have been waiting for!
I pity the commentor above who demonstrates so clearly how misled and uninformed he is. I will not vote for Ron Paul's ideology either, any more than I will vote for ANY ideology! I will not vote for the part of the Constitution that Ron Paul "supports", I will vote only for the ENTIRE, TOTALLY INTACT US Constitution! (.....which, unlike Ron Paul's copy, includes the General Welfare in its defining Principles, among other basics missing from Ron Paul's) I will also not vote to give up the last shreds left to us of regulations protecting us from the oilygarchs, **(as well as protecting what bit of the Light of Democratic Choice we CAN yet exercise, and the empowerment ability enabling WeThePeople to gain, retain and sustain Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness)**--to be stripped and pared to the bone with full deregulation and privatizations a grand part of Ron Paul's version of the Constitution, as well as defining his skewed, selectively uninformed opinion of what constitutes "Freedom" that inadvertently and definitively removes from TheMany the ability to "reach", attain or sustain such Freedoms as the Constitution decrees as unalienable..........
In a pool with big sharks, small fish may be "declared" free, but they HAVE NO FREEDOM!!!
There are no candidates now left to us who are worthy of support; I cannot vote for the AIPAC infused, corporately compromised, military-industrial complex embedded corporate selection of "candidates" (all 3!) that are left to us as a substitute for Democratic choice and processes. Our "Kucinich campaign table" long planned for the caucus, as we provided in the '04 campaign, now effectively censored out, I will most likely be tabling for Democracy itself, instead, with supportive and informing handouts, and then will continue to support Democratic choice and processes through my vote, with a write-in for Dennis Kucinich. Let us HAVE choice by BEING that choice ourselves!!
Thank you for reminding me that Cynthia McKinney may well be there for our votes in November! I don't know yet though, much as I have wished there would be the future opportunity to support and vote for her, if I could actually "wish that off on her" here and now; she would too likely be too particularly endangered and hamstrung at this juncture of misappropriated world-time. I would support Gravel, but he has said he would stand for only one term, and WHOever gets into office will have a hellacious 4 years, surely not enough time to clean up enough of the oilygarch slime for the all too many of the all too few who participate in voting, who choose to remain uninformed to recognize and garner the value! They are but sheep, looking for a "hero" to lead them again, unwittingly astray, so all too vulnerable to roving memes set for framing various reversionings of incompetence ..... I love Gravel, but though he has been strong, Principled and true in his life, his actual life-capacities for monumental strength in standing are waning.
(Dennis is the only one I know of with the unbounding, streaming, resourceful yet highly Principled and True Strength in Standing to maintain the necessary "self-sustaining" capacity and has the boundless energy required to drive on through such obstacles, like all the virtual land mines and shaped charges set all along the road of the next presidential term ahead!)
(IF, that is, --the devastatingly crashing economy, coinciding with the US failing infrastructure, including the severely non-maintained since Reagan deregs and severely degrading, entire US electrical grid, and/or Cheney managing to come up with a way to drop his loose nukes on Iran, or any other pretense for igniting the Middle East, and/or whichever of the false flags held waiting in the wings do not first bring on the excuse to institute the empirically produced "Directive 51", martial law, and a cancellation stamp upon Nov.'08 elections--- first, before we even GET there........!)
Watch this great video with Gravel, and interview of a researcher detailing wall street backing of H,O, &E, and inc. some Democracy Now interview about the "foreign policy advisors"---mucho military industrial complex Google youtube for "Obama Qs Petraeus" from "politicstv".....
Obama is being revisioned and cast as if "Progressive", but his AIPAC entanglement, his joining in with the neocon framing and frame-up of Iran as "very dangerous to the US", sucking up the false "intel" and trail of false "evidence" against Iran, while heartily joining in the neocon chorus of fearmongering and demonizing Iran, and of Palestine and the Palestinians, etc......., with his all things left on the table vocals and posturings (poly-ticks for "nukes"), his war-hawk (yet another chicken-hawk in costume!), war mongering speeches to smaller, somewhat out of the public view gatherings of military industrial complex components and their financial support of his campaign, etc., put the lie to that "progressive" claim-stake.
Folks with any real sense know that where there is a demonizing campaign there is no good afoot.............
There are now a lot of people aligning with the TERM progressive as a generic category that likes certain things, and doesn't like certain things, adopts a set of phrases, signs on to a particular range of actions, activities, and social venues, and supports a selective array of political issues and policies, each equipped with recognizable pragmatisms, which as a group are labled "Progressive". One then, who aligns with this category of persuasions and talking points is called "a progressive".
BEING Progressive does not automatically occur along with personal adoption of the categorically "assigned" semantics, habit patterns and political persuasions. This selection of preferred conditioning has effects upon the expression of individuality as well as the choice of policies and living patterns. It is a category of conditioning effects upon lifestyle with trends that through time can shape the course of knowledge gained through experience, which then in turn, progressively builds the capacity for discernment. Through exercising it in practical usefulness, the quality of knowledge gained becomes integrated into the personality, which in turn, develops into progressively more sustainable practices and experiences.
Being Progressive is an autonomously functioning state of being in which Universal Principles inform the core of ones nature and therefore the basic motivations and naturally occurring capacity for holographic perception and discernment. Being Principled is intrinsic and therefore pervasive. This causes progressive effects whereas the other develops progressively by adopting then processing these effects via trial and error through experience. The fruits of experience, when progressively integrated into the nature of one's individuality, gradually, then serve to transmute the previous desire to stand individually; moving on from such personal constrictions toward a Universally holistic inclusiveness. Until then, the capacity even to recognize will conflict with personal opinions that are yet to be processed by progressive degrees in the school of hard knocks.
Many of those now adopting the progressive course of development are as yet more defined by appearances and tones while actually BEING progressive is the unknown territory ahead. It is relatively easy for a politician to wrap his/her "same old" opinions, policies and preferred stances with an appearance and measured sound bite rhythm geared to look and sound appealingly progressive to those who have entered the progressive course. This will seem more recognizable to them as "a progressive" than the real thing, even when the real thing is face to face in front of them BECAUSE "the real thing" is as yet that great unknown territory ahead. It can seem to them more scary than real. Spooky.
Universal Principles, a lasting, sustaining Foundation, are not compromising, nor compromised; but for those not Standing, How can Universal Principles Stand with you?
I'm not talkin' hearts and flowers Nor Little Bo Peep Not dreaming from Ivory towers Nor lay me down to sleep But of GoodWill Power And our Souls to keep In Strength Through Peace To BE The Peace!
Think of the strength it takes to Stand In Peace Unwavering Step into it and BE the Peace, BE the Strength in Standing
(.........When the stomache for compromise is empty........)
If not NOW, then WHEN?
THERE IS ONLY NOW
STAND UP FOR PRINCIPLE
STAND UP IN PRINCIPLE
STAND UP BEING
THE PRINCIPLE OF PEACE!
MAKE WAR OBSOLETE
.

BlessitALL!!!

John Edwards is a very good candidate and he's viable (money and votes). Please consider him. Some of his positions: against CORPORATE STRANGLEHOLD on the nation; for SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE; for COMPLETELY ENDING THE IRAQ WAR AND OCCUPATION (and has admitted he was wrong to vote for it-- people CAN change their minds you know); against PERMANENT BASES in Iraq; against TELECOMM IMMUNITY-- you name it-- he is GENUINELY PROGRESSIVE. And I saw him challenge Hillary in one of the debates. He asked her point blank: you accept $ from Wall Street, pharmas, oil. Are you going to do their bidding once you're in office? He's not playing games and skirting the issues as Hillary and Obama are. He's not lying or bullying. He's out front with his positions. He cares immensely about the middle class, the poor, and the homeless.
So think about it and you might realize, as I have, that John is not only a candidate who can win the nomination and the presidency, he's politically acceptable.
He's being ignored, not only by the media, but by progressives and peace activists as well. YET HE IS ACTUALLY PROGRESSIVE! Give it some thought and then support him while there's still a chance for him to "go the distance" as he's prepared to do.

to get people to take a serious, serious look at the Constitution!
We, as a people, seem to be lost.
The war created a war fever; which to my mind, has not gotten us to take a real look at the fundamentals of living in a republic but rather to create a "primary/election" fever.
I have NO INTENTION of voting for Ron Paul. I was one of the very first people to question his candidacy on OpEd News way back when. He would NEVER get my vote nor support- EVEN IF he ran Dennis Kucinich.
As far as Edwards goes - he is NO LEADER. America is going to have to liquidate its military empire. IT IS BANKRUPT - I know the precise figures of the US debt and the economic situation. As a violent, genocidal nation who thinks it owns the planet it has already wrecked enough damage to last many millenia,
But as for what is to come, there is no way that a leader without a seious, serous plan could hold the nation together,
As new "agey" as it may sound . .there is a very sharp change in "consciousness" globally and yesterday's hierarchal ideas are not going "cut it". The Constitution was the very best framework that hundreds of people could come up with to put in place a system that could survive over time.
It does not work.
I'm not going to wirte a full essay on that .. but I"m not looking for election ads, I'm really asking that people take a real look at what people DO, not what they say.
At this point, the only answer to this horrible HORRIBLE mess is the impeachment processs which is long overdue. To the power of the chairman of the House of Representatives in this modern age, unless Pelosi is DUMPED and soon, this is getting honest project is NOT going to work. The problem is not stricktly "her" - it's the power of that job that is at fault. And only unless DEMOCRATS get out and ask for her removal long and hard, and it si totally appearent that NO INCUMBENT WILL BE RE ELECTED if they don't do something - America will be the victim of any petty tyrant for the rest of it's polical/sovereign life.
Very serious issues, not to be resolved by inaction.
Not to be resolved by our opportunist Ron Paul who remains uncommitted to impeachment.
The Republican party has played its hand very very well! Karl Rove's been done very proud. The day that PNAC dreamt of is here - PERMANENT REPUBLICAN RULE.
Serioulsy - ask yourselves the hard hard question - if Ron Paul is elected who do you think will fill the chairs of this federal offices? PROGRESSIVES??
It is to laugh.

I still plan to vote for Kucinich in the primaries. I hope that it sends a message to the Democratic nominee, whoever that turns out to be, that those of us who've supported Dennis Kucinich for this long still expect his message to be listened to.
There's nothing else I can do but continue to support the same ideas that got me to support him. No other candidate looks promising to me. Maybe after the primaries are over . . . if some of them change their tune or explain some of the things that bother me. Maybe. But on Feb 5th, I'm checking beside Dennis Kucinich's name on my ballot.

I don't vote as they took away my passport and can't vote (meager though that might be), but as someone who clearly support the liberty and justice for ALL idea, I keep up my drumming for Dennis as I know he "gets it"!! BRAVO Dennis!!
There is no way I can work for ANY Candidate that supports any use of URANIUM - it's a POISON. So that cuts out everyone!! Funny, but just that one issue is a dividing line for me. You are either "smart" or you are not. Those who advocate the use of POISONS are truly insane and "stoopid".
Ron Paul!! Give me a break - he'll tell ya it's FREEDOM and LIBERTY to dig it up .. and then not tax you for what you've stolen from native people.
See, the Repugs really have won. The damage is complete ..
The thing is that at what cost? The US is now TOTALLY bankrupt and George Washington who posts on here is TOTALLY TOTALLY correct im humble opinion.
I will (and do ) support sane candidates .. Laurie Dobson, I supported Jason Call in NM .. and can invest energy in that and HOPE that we can get enough seats (remember I"m not a dem, just a STRATEGIST) to undo Rockefeller's wicked and awesome power -- H'es totally undone Pelosi! Totally. Made her toast from day one with the dem line up she "inherited" ..
Either WExler or Dennis must take over leadership . not necessarily being the ROLE person - but being the INSPIRATION.
With everything that I see and what I know (much goes on behind the scenes! and I stay very current) it seems to me that there is much to despair about . the CIA is NOT checked!! Will it be? probably not as Mukasey is refusing the Special Prosecutor as of yesterday. WATERBOARDING IS STILL ON THE TABLE!!
The WH and the RNC are all war criminals . they needed to be leashed and they are not.
But us people ARE working together, we ARE learning.
We can buid our own BANKRUPTING AMERICA movement and do a whole lot of good.
Peak oil, peak dollar, it's all here - we Dennis types are the most likely to provide leadership imho.

Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate left in this dogfight who's telling the voters the truth. Campaining is something one must do if one wishes to become president. And as far as not crossing party lines to vote is concerned, this country is in deep, serious skat, and it's time we quit acting like we're on separate teams, act like real patriots and vote for the person who we think will do the best job at restoring America to the nation we all grew up loving and pledging our alliegence to. I've heard senators say that impeachment would be devisive, the reality is that this idiotic, two party circus we keep using is the most devisive, stupid concept we subscribe to.

I had no intention of this becoming a Ron Paul forum
I have specificallyl stated reaons I will not and cannot support Ron Paul.
There is NO twisting my arm on this.
I WILL NOT SUPPORT A BIGOT or people who run for office and don't distance themselves from them.
First it was dAvid Duke!!now it's Bob JOnes university.. he's nt working with the LAKOTA, for sock's sake!
I realize that plenty of people are grasping for straws, but filling DC with Repubs at the top is NOT my idea of a good time, it's not HEALTHY.
PEAK OIL and PEAK DOLLAR are here.
Dennis has the answers to all of it - Ron Paul does NOT. His economic model TRULY SUCKS. And unlike those his supporters attack I do know what I am talking about and I stay current.
Gee wake up! There must be REGULATION - it can't be dealt with states' rights! For good ness sakes, arent' things bad enough already!!
oh, no, let's see iet get a whole lot worse!!
Build the mythology around Ron Paul all you like, he's not MY myth. I did not put in the past 59 years of working and studying to support that in the end.
I truly think that Dennis had the answers (using GREAT resources, fantastic "experts) that would have benefitted EVERYONE, even the rich if they could but see .
I realize the pressure to rebuild the republican party throwing out the neocons who so drastically messed up will be there, but I ain't signing on the line ..

I have no idea why you think Ron Paul is a bigot. In fact, after reading your article, I still have no idea why you aren't supporting him. I wish you had made your points more explicit...your article was little more than a jumble of name-calling. You lumped Ron Paul in with groups you don't like and damned him on account of his supporters, whom you seem to categorically disdain. None of these lines of argument reveals that you have any real knowledge about Ron Paul or anything intelligent to say in refuting his platform.
Frankly, you seem extremely bigoted against Christians. Consider that bigotry is ugly, period.

I AM part native - I identify THAT Way, part of the US heritage.
I guess I looked pretty damned hard at the bigotry issue when the BANDWAGON started up (paid for by billionaries and the RNC) and came to some profound conclusions about it.
His lack of convincing us of his accountability over the PROFOUNDLY racist comments written in HIS NAME was just criminal, a true hate crime.
Just saying "I didn't know" is not very convincing. Blame Lew Rockwell -- now that's not convincing.
Those things were put out to keep Texas cash rolling around in his pocket$.
Oh, please! Give me a break! No racist is ever going to get ME working for them . not in this lifetime (snark, even if cliched!!)
you know, I find it REAL interesting that people who thought I "might" be recruitable to this little BANDWAGON (carefullly engineered by Karl Rove - trust me on this) would write me racist emails OFF THEPUBLIC COMMENTS boxes and on threads I post on elsewhere, never suspecting that I am with the NDNs!
I do not, will not worship, at the feet of the covert saint of closet bigots.
Anyone thinking I didn't lay out my "arguments" well - I ain't arguing at all. I have no reason to lay out points .. I am just trying to find those who care about the PRINCIPLES ENSHRINED IN THE US CONSTITUTION have a real good think right now . that is ALL.

I simply can't understand how you talk. You allude to things without clarifying what your point is. You are a native.....a native what? I am a native, too. A native of NJ. How is this relevent? Also, I have no idea what you're talking about when you mention being the target of some racist slurs. Who are these people who bothered you, and what do they have to do with anything political?
However, thank you for explaining...which you did not do in your article....that you are dismissing Ron Paul on the grounds that he failed to attribute authorship of the allegedly racist newsletters (I have never read them) to anyone in particular. I agree with you that his explanations were insufficient. However, I also believe that Ron Paul is in no way a racist, and that his vice is more managerial oversight and public reticence than petty malice toward non-whites. There is nothing outside the newletters to indicate he is a racist, and he trusts people to be the judge of his life overall; plus he spits on the newsletters.
Also you must think your friend Dennis is either a VERY poor judge of character or tainted by loathesome flaws; you know he spoke he cheerfully of the possibility of having his "honest" friend Ron Paul as a running mate. Since, in your logic, to be affiliated with "bigots" is to be an accomplice to bigotry, Dennis is a passive bigot himself. Hmmm.
And you speak bigotry against several groups, most of all Christians. In fact, as I took in all venom of your article, I was left with the sinking impression that you are in need of healing and acceptance, which hasn't been forthcoming. I disagree that more laws equal better society and doubt you'll find peace in proportion to the expansion of federal laws and mandates. They are all chains holding people back. What we need is freedom to be ourselves and trust individuality, to come forward and meet people on unbiased terms; the more we categorize people and seek legislation that draws boundaries around groups, the more we solidify the walls.
Ps By the way, if you meant you are a Native American...in my life I have seen more reverance for Native Americans than for any other group of people. Most of us know whose land this is, and what wisdom we failed to recognize and preserve.

I am not disputing Dennis perogative to support Ron Paul - that's Dennis.
I am talking about ME and my problems spiritually with all that is going on.
I don't think I have been the least bit unclear about THAT.
Are all men created equal or are they NOT. If they are, then what does the US do next?
It clearly has WAR CRIMINALS at the helm. They have put warmongering people at the top of every single federal management office.
I noticed the compelte dismantling of the DoJ under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno and now the rot has spread everywhere. (the dept of energy and the FCC in particular, not to mention the FDA )
Historically, the US Presidency gets its power from its appointments and its ability to control who gets the graft. That's WELL document. Presidents are well known to have most of their time taken up listening to people who WANT something.
We are fighting a very intense corporatocracy well dug into the WH now.
So we have two management problems - how does the next president ensure that new appoitments are correct and
how does the president ensure that those who think that he OWES them something, something that they PAID for . get what they think is their due.
Ron Paul takes money from scientologist (many are the heads of his states fundraising efforts), he takes money from bigots, bikers, and all sorts of malcontents who want to abolish the IRS because they think they are ENTITLED to more!!
Please, do see my point. With everything that is at stake - how can you trust someone who puts out a racist newsletter for YEARS say "oh, Ididn't know" and get away with it.
And if this makes it any clearer .. I get emails from people bitching about Mayans who are starving trying to find money to feed their families who aren't going to look for any SOLUTIONS - they just want that bloody, expensive fence which is taking over SOVEREIGN native land in TEXAS.
Not some other state, right there in Ron Paul's state. Do you hear one peep from him about that . .. or about the jails women and children are living in on the border. No, you do NOT.
My rant on Ron Paul is over for the day.
Again, I ask people to take a serious look at these principles in the Constitution before you decide to "jump" on any bandwagon.

If Ron Paul doesn't meet your criteria for solid character, that's your business, as you say.
It doesn't bother me in the least that Ron Paul takes money from anyone who sends it. They are not influencing him one bit, so what's there to criticize? It's not the same as accepting money from lobbyists, in which case the politician becomes obligated to vote according to the lobbyists' wishes. Ron Paul takes no money from lobbyists and has always voted his conscience for the 30 years he's been in politics. Donations are morality-neutral in his hands. The other problems you mentioned, like the women in jail on the border, are obviously dear to your heart, but I don't expect Ron Paul (or any other candidate) to comment on and lash out against every issue facing our nation. Frankly, there are too many problems and injustices, and he gets very little media space to comment on these anyway. I credit him for pledging to release non-violent drug offenders who are incarcerated; minorities are imprisoned far more often than whites for the same crimes. No other candidates are talking about prison reform.
I would appreciate less immigration at this point in time, until America gets its own act together. We can't serve anyone as a refuge and world sanctuary when the nation is wrecked, when hostility is mounting against us, when we are being infiltrated by foreigners who don't respect us and whose spoken, ultimate goal is a national takeover. If the native land is truly sovereign then it should have its own government, and we can just put the fence above it, perhaps?
I salute your idealism and perseverence.

I sense you are a "kindred spirit." I believe (and I hope I am wrong) that the "Paulies" are arriving late to the party and will experience the hard way that the rich fatties could give less-than-a-shit about what they think.
Worst case scenario: the Pubs will acutally run Paul which will convince the Paulies that "the system" is actually "working." That will delay the realization that he rich fatties run their lives and that "government" is an illusion.
keep up the good work!
