  Naturally, the media will ignore the results, claiming that Paul supporters 'spammed' the poll. But they know perfectly well that is not the case. If it were so the present technologies make proving that a simple matter. The IP addresses do not lie. But lies are thick upon the ground, in every direction.

  Ron Paul Supporters Are Delusional I fully understand and appreciate why many people embrace Ron Paul; he is a lovely maverick politician.  Just one big problem: HE WILL NOT GET THE REPBULICAN NOMINATION!!!!!!!  And after the Republican convention, even if he runs on a third party ticket or the ludicrous Unity08 ticket, HE WILL NOT WIN!!!!!  What is so sad is not Ron Paul or his supporters, but the delusional thinking of so many people that the current political system is fair enough to allow anyone like Paul to achieve high office.  Rather than fight for system reform, all these disgruntled dissidents are working for Paul (and some for Gravel and Kucenich).  This support for longshots just makes the current corrupt political system look somewhat honest and competitive - when, in fact, it is NOT!!!!!  Yes, what I'm saying, is that all these supporters just make the corrupt system look better than it really is - and it makes it more difficult for everyone to fully recognize just how awful and delusional American democracy has become. by Joel S.

  The delusion is yours Nice rant but short on facts. Paradigms do not shift gradually but through a process similar to punctuated evolution (though given your expressed opinion here you might not accept the theory of evolution), if not that is your problem. All human culture is illusion; the acceptance of a set of shared ideas that are used as long as they work well enough to satisfy the majority. When that stops being the case people start looking for something else. This also explains the move back to evangelical churches. People are looking for stability and values in their communities when the conditions that created those in their larger world are breaking down. That works to a limited extent. But with the final suck on the economy and the terrorism of Americans now underway by the Bush Administration that is also breaking down. Human opinion and action reaches a point of supersaturation and then change takes place. The British could not believe colonists, especially those from New England who were known to be very unwarlike, would resist authority when the point was pressed. They did, however. The build up had been taking place for decades, building on a culture whose operating customs and principles had diverged from those of Britain. Answering the call 10,000 men where marching towards the scene of battle within 24 hours. You are seeing the Ron Paul campaign through a lense external to the action so you are framing it along with other 'political' campaigns. It is not a political campaign at all. It is a slow motion, non-violent revolution undertaken not by Ron Paul (he always says he is being dragged along) but by activists most of whom were previously entirely uninterested in politics. In a couple of years you will wonder why you ever thought things could not change. Paradigm shifts are like that. by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster (139 articles, 1 quicklinks, 5 diaries, 121 comments) on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 5:09:32 PM

  Delusion versus substance For some years I have been advocating a peaceful Second American Revolution and wrote a book making the case for one (Delusional Demomcracy).  For years I taught at the university level about paradigm changes; this subject started with a classic book by Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.  The fundamental point about paradigm changes is that they are profound STUCTURAL changes; they can be models or frameworks in science, law, philosophy or government.   They are extremely substantive and definitely not about personalities; they are highly intellectual and substantial, not emotional.  I see nothing structural or systemic in the crowd that has found political love through the Ron Paul campaign; I have read most of all the writings of Paul over the past decade and see nothing in terms of political/government structural change that would take the nation in a new and better direction. by Joel S.

  Ron Paul Ron Paul is clearly the best of the Republicans but Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate overall. Ron Paul is too much of a coward. Paul like most of the other Republicans declined to participate in a debate at the University Of Miami broadcast on Univision so the Republican debate had to be cancelled.   by Ty (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 868 comments) on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 5:30:10 PM

  The CFR: One World Government and the End of the U.S. The CFR needs to be included in any discussion of the candidates, of both parties. Being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations is very much like being a member of the mafia: the CFR is a nasty, secret organization with a great front: education and culture. (This is a bit like the Corleone family's olive oil business). Their aim is one world government (and related organizations such as WTO, GATT, NAFDA) and its parent organization, The Tavistock Institute, was instrumental in forging the European Union. As you probably know, the North American Union is moving forward, and it was planned at the CFR. Even today Mexican trucks are rolling into the U.S. and the NAFDA super-highway is being built. However, I am not convinced that Mike Huckabee is a member of the CFR. I can certainly find validation for: Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback; Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden. As well, many top broadcasters, industrialiasts and media moguls are members of the CFR. This makes sense: they all want to rule the world. Those candidates which are not CFR members are: Ron Paul (my favorite candidate, ever); Dennis Kuchinich, Mike Gravel and (I think) Mike Huckabee.         by zenpiper (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 16 comments) on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 9:35:10 PM

  Huckabee and the CFR I found his name on a list of members.  The person who compiled the list could have been wrong, though they usually are not.  CFR does not supply open information on their membership.  I will check around again but certainly the way he attacked Paul does not lead you to the belief he would like to fill the Bush shoes and keep going in the same direction.  by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster (139 articles, 1 quicklinks, 5 diaries, 121 comments) on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 10:22:28 PM

  Whether or not I agree with RP's policies which I don't, I'll forgoe my criticisms here to say that....  Chris Wallace and the rest of the lamestream media have disgraced themselves.  Not just on RP's treatment but also on their treatment of Kucinich....(or, if you dig deep enough ...Howard Dean's as well)  I was recently watching 'Orwell Rolls Over in His Grave' and realised that by now for most americans it should long since have been made abundantly clear that as long as the media consolidates into fewer and fewer hands it begins to serve fewer and fewer interests. Those interests have already decided for the rest of us that they'd rather not have a Paul (GOP) v.s. Kucinich (Dem) 2008 presidential race which I think would likely be the case if there were anything even remotely resembling a free and unbiased press existing in the US. Most likely the race wouldn't even be between just two political parties if we were talking about democracy in the truest sense of the word but one representing a greater image of political pluralism. For instance, The Blue Dog Democrats dilute any possibility of there being any substantial political opposition party. What we really need is regulation that would limit media monopolies... the kind of regulation that ironically Ron Paul would likely oppose.       by chariotdrvr14 (1 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 134 comments) on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 10:43:03 AM

  Ron Paul's Big problem with Progressives I like Ron Paul's stand on the war and his stand against destroying and continuing to aband the constitution.  In these ways, he is a very strong candidated. However, he is not very progressive.  He is libertarian.  There are some good things about the libertarian criteria but there are key problems. For example, Ron Paul on the famous GOOGLE interview said that cities and states don't need zoning and urban planning.  He used HOUSTON, TEXAS as an example.  That is a joke if anyone has lived or traveled regularly in or across that city-state (bigger than Rhode Island for example), HOUSTON is a mess. Anytime, there is a hurricane scare, things are even worse.  In post-Katrina America, we need something more than blind libertarian.            by ALONE (145 articles, 1 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 318 comments) on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 11:45:52 AM

  Progressives and forms Ron's candidacy is for President. His commitment to return to the original scope for Federal government intended by the Founders means returning control to the people at the most local area.   What the last 100 years has proven is that centralization does not work. The concentration of money proved to be an irresistible temptation to the unethical greedy. Progressive philosophy built the road to hell with the best of intentions. Progressives were also responsible for the Pledge of Allegiance, an atrocity visited on us in an attempt to change the form of government from a flawed Republic to a centralized socialist state they thought would be more benevolent. We all make mistakes. No Progressive living today was part of those choices but they each is responsible for examining the facts and outcomes that debunk their theories. We need to stop experimenting using ourselves as the Guinea Pigs to 'prove' the entirely theoretical and mostly fictional flights of fancy of a bunch of men with more time on their hands than common sense. It makes far more sense to proceed locally, allowing people to risk what they feel they can personally afford to risk. Using government to experiment on others is, was, and always will be, outrageous. This was wrong, no matter who wanted to try out their ideas, right, left, or whatever. Progressives need to enter the real world. They will like it, it is nice here, mostly. by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster (139 articles, 1 quicklinks, 5 diaries, 121 comments) on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 12:34:26 PM

  Ron Paul by any name is a Republican This article should have had a disclaimer saying it was an ad for Ron Paul. Plenty of GOP conspiracy theories, spin, hype, not a lot of facts. Here's one fact for you if RP does get ellected he will be subjected to the same GOP institutional restrictions and master serving as any other. Fact two The God bothering base won't support a loose cannon. I've read his web site and remain under whelmed, he is simply Republican Light. I doubt that he'll be allowed to unravel GOP base sacred cows like the dismantling of Rowe V Rowe judgements.

  Ron Paul is not so much a candidate as a movement... It would be useful if you were more specific when criticizing.  Theories are sets of ideas asserted without proof.  It is a fact that Rove, Reed, Robertson, and Abramoff planned the creation of an Evengelical political movement.  They then trained them to take over the Republican Party.  They carried that out in front of other members of Young Republicans.  One of them is a long time political associate.  He has not published and I do not use his name.  Ron Paul inspires enthusiasm.  Bet you wish you could say that about some Democrat.   Your theories, for instance what would happen if Ron is elected really are theories.  Or did you consult your Ouiji Board?   If he is elected then the Republican Party as it is today will have ceased to exist so you are wrong on that count.  Many of the people who are signing up to support him and reregistering Republican are Progressives and other Democrats.  They understand that they can't trust the corporate Dem. candidates and so are going for the candidate who gives them the best shot at change and less government.   Wow.  Another theory. What is a God bothering base?  I think you mean the TheoCons who are now trying to hold onto their Evangelical Base but it is hard to tell.  Ron is not a loose cannon anyway.  He consistently supports the position of Austrian Economic Theory; he is determined to return the Federal government to its original conformation.  Small and limited.  I will try to deal with the disappointment of your lack of enthusiasm.  If I had to take one of the choices presented to Democrats I would vote for the ass.  I was pretty unhappy until Ron declared and this amazing entirely unsolicited movement started.  None of us believed it at first.  Really, I would be jealous, too.   You don't know Ron.  If you did you would understand.   He has 18 grandchildren, five kids all happily married.  No divorces in the family.  He calls his wife,"Lovey" and when you see him looking at her you know she is the center of his universe.  That in itself makes him worth supporting.  Compare him to the run of the Hill Republicans and you know he is different.    by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster (139 articles, 1 quicklinks, 5 diaries, 121 comments) on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 11:28:41 PM

  American against War and Violence. Writer, English Teacher, Inventor, Creator of the First Manmade Floating Farm On The Ocean.... My companies name is ACET: Algae Charcoal Ethanol Technicorp. We grow Algae for Oil. Dom JermanoAmerican against War and Violence. Writer, English Teacher, Inventor, Creator of the First Manmade Floating Farm On The Ocean.... My companies name is ACET: Algae Charcoal Ethanol Technicorp. We grow Algae for Oil.

  Jermano for President  Jermano on Abortion Abortion should have conditions. If a woman elects to have one, she also gives up the right to have further children. How come the unborn becomes the victim of death because of rape? It’s not right. Stem Cell umbilical cord research should be researched.   Jermano on Budget & Economy Strive for balanced budget. Dismantle the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security. Build the United States Coast Guard. Banks required to give zero percent loans to bank members. All equity becomes property of all the member’s. All members pay dues and said dues are paid toward interest on savings accounts. Corporations required to pay taxes. Stock Market becomes an asset equity market, where people buy ownership stocks, or sell them. Companies can not increase their stock shares to spread out or inflate their equities.   Jermano on Civil Rights  Black American Day will be recognized, and Native American Indian Day will be recognized.Marriage should be for man and woman. Family contracts will be for same sex relationships. Helping the Kiribati People in which we dropped 38 Atomic Bomb tests over their S. Pacific Nation back in 1962. Ever wonder how much radioactive fish you or others in other countries have eaten? The Kiribati people live in obscure poverty after all these forgetful years. And why do we forget a people who really won the COLD WAR for us? Because if the world knows how bad Chernobyl, and 3 Mile Island was, this Operation Dominic {code name} would make them look like a couple of ice cubes dropping on a hot tile. America needs to accept responsibility for its crimes in the past, be it civil, or environmental.   Jermano on Corporations Corporations will be required to pay taxes. Middle Class and below do not pay.Corporations should begin to change their operations by making them more available for individuals. I view many small businesses as part of a working corporation. As we view many States in the US, make up the United States Government.   Jermano on Crime Prison building will be stopped. Prisoners will be put to work building homes for the people. Abolish the Death Penalty. It is illegal to kill prisoners no matter the crime. We do not use a negative response to get a positive one. It doesn’t work.  More sentences will be money fines, so people have to work to pay off their fines. If they break more laws, they get stiffer fines, until they join the prison crews working on construction. Prisoners who do not work will be put inside a room until they agree to work off their debts. Crimes committed in Government will be automatic impeachment, when 30 percent of the people disagree with Presidents illegal wars. There is no way to stop the impeachment process, it must be tabled. America has committed many crimes by its leadership. One of the biggest crimes has been nuclear testing. There is no such thing as a NUCLEAR TEST. They are real and they do damage to the environment, and to the people who live in that environment in the world. Whether exploded in the Atmosphere, Underground, or in the Ocean, it does damage and contaminates the water, the air, and the food chain. The radiation, not to mention all the other chemical reactions that can not be read on Geiger-Counters remain lethal and poisonous for 1,000’s of years. I will start a world lawsuit against all superpowers that have used nuclear weapons. There is no distinction if you use them against another country, or you claim it is a test. There is no such thing as a test, because using nuclear weapons is real, and damage can not be reversed. No one can or will believe that a country such as the USA did not cause damage to the planet because they exploded many, many Atomic Bombs. Fish in the ocean are contaminated and are eaten, ground water is poisoned when we drink it, or use it for growing crops, birds in the air are contaminated, and trees are damaged. Even our atmosphere can have a dramatic ionic change weakening it and making it a contributor to Global Warming. Heavens knows what exploding one of those weapons does to our magnetic gravity attraction forces, that has a major factor in how weather patterns form, and the dynamics to wind variations and forces, that use space vacuums and world ocean movements in concern to storms and wind catastrophes.      Jermano on Drugs People who use drugs will face stiff fines, and required to undergo therapy, to get off the drugs. People caught selling drugs will be sentenced to taking the drugs they sold. They will suffer extreme mental disorientation. When they come off the drug they will be rehabbed. I do not support legalization of marijuana. Marijuana should be licensed, but not made for the general public. There are many good things about cannabis. I support the legal fines for selling and distributing cigarettes, a much more serious health concern.       Jermano on Education Cutting the military will strengthen education. Reduce University Tuition Fees by 40%. Reinstate Pell Grant and Student Work Programs I support home schooling, and Non-Accredited Schools. I do not support Accredited Schools, who have proven to not be what they claim to be. Reform to Accreditation will be to make them Non-Accreditation, because they have no authority to claim they hold the golden answer to Education in Society. All kids should have a computer. Class sizes will only be 10-12 students. No Guns education will be taught Classes on Jesus will be taught, along with moral issues as the basis to education. More online classes will be available. Student’s buildup online credentials and transcripts.   Jerm
