"We" have done quite enough for "business."

"I don't think anyone would do more for business - small or large - than Ron Paul. He would eliminate the role of government in our business lives, and the GDP growth of the country would skyrocket as a result."

 Hard to imagine anything more delusional than this.  Yep, the GDP would skyrocket.  Light sweet crude would burble back into dry wells, ground water would rise, forests would grow overnight and singing bluebirds would fly in the window and make your bed... if it weren't for all those pesky government regulations... we'd ALL get an invisible hand job.

Last Movement is RIGHT ON

While OEN and Common Dreams and other "progressive bloggs" BEG, litterally BEG for money...antiwar.com made $70K in a week.  Ron Paul bloggs are just fine.  Those of us who progressed from progressive to rEVOLutionary have seen the light, and hte money, and it's not with you, and I don't wonder why.

The Doctor is IN.

Please get your facts straight.

RON PAUL HAS NOT DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE.  

His son, Rand, has posted something saying otherwise as well as his wife and Jesse Benton, his campaign manager.  

You are misinforming the public.  Please refrain.  Thank you.

Ron Paul 2008.

We Owe Ron Paul . . .

If Ron Paul had not run, we could not have proven just how much control the TV Networks, the Newspapers, and the Magazines have over our choices. It is now quite obvious that a decent person cannot help save our country from the top down.

What Ron Paul showed us that there is about 10% of the population that is awake and thinking. Sociopaths, less than 1% of our population, currently control our country. Decent people, that have empathy and a conscience, out-number these sociopaths at least 10 to 1. That's the REAL reason for Homeland Security.

So it's up to us to come together at the community level and start voting out the political sociopaths at that level; then the city and county; and then the state. You will also have to choose whether to work for, and trade with, corporations controlled by foreign money power. Understood, it won't be easy.

It certainly won't happen over night, either. But true capitalism starts at the farmer's market. What we currently have is imperialism. Socialism is NOT the answer, but simply another trap, owned by the same money power. Venezuela and Cuba are perfect examples.

And if you don't understand foreign Money Power, then visit:

A message from Rand Paul

Rand Paul: Is the Revolution Over or Just Beginning? Posted March 8th, 2008 by manystrom

by Rand Paul MD | March 8, 2008

Reports that Ron Paul has quit the Presidential Race remind me of Mark Twain's famous quote, "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." The Ron Paul Presidential campaign continues, albeit at a different pace.

What does that mean?

Ron Paul will continue to contest the remaining primaries. Ron Paul's name will be on all the remaining state ballots. Ron Paul volunteers are encouraged to become precinct captains, delegates to state and national conventions, and to try pass Constitutional proposals to each state's Republican platform.

For example, volunteers in each state should try to attach amendments such as the following: Republicans believe that war should only be fought after a proper Declaration of War by Congress. Another possible platform idea is that: Republican Congressmen are expected to vote against any federal budget, Republican or Democrat, that is not balanced.

Want to have some fun? Just imagine the fun when the debate begins on these ideas.

Is Ron Paul still campaigning for president? Yes. Ron Paul has tentative plans to campaign in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Ron Paul will also likely appear in other states that have remaining primaries.

The press is reporting that Ron Paul has quit the race. This is not true. Ron Paul's video simply acknowledges that the campaign will continue but will also transform into additional activities such as education and supporting other candidates. In Kentucky we just held precinct conventions and Ron Paul Republicans won hundreds of precinct captains. In Kyle Texas, Craig Young upset the establishment choice for Republican County Chairman.

The Ron Paul Revolution lives on! Victory comes in many forms. Help shape what the Ron Paul revolution becomes.

Ron Paul Campaign

I hate to disappoint all the neocon rags with their shady journalism, but the Ron Paul campaign is far from quitting.  Please get your facts straight and stop portraying such wishful thinking as "truth" to the public.  As a Ron Paul supporter, I am looking forward to the next primary and plan to attend the convention to encourage him.   Always remember, a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for human dignity, freedom, and a strong economy based on a sound monetary system.  Don't be so quick to write off Ron Paul and his passion for the Constitution that made this country great.

Good for Paul

Let him stay in the race as long as he can, let him espouse his views to the electorate. I think his libertarianism anathema to this nation and I am no supporter of his candidacy. I do believe that he has every right to run and to be heard.

Ron Paul is THE WORLD'S HOPE

You could only wish it was a 'requiem' - RON PAUL IS STILL A CANDIDATE !

This is yet another example of the mainstream media dictating public opinion rather than reporting the truth.

The American electorate need to know and understand that because of the far-reaching impact of the US elections on global policy and the state of the world in general, Ron Paul is not just the best hope for the USA, he is also the best hope for the rest of humanity. Policy decisions made by the President of the United States affect every person on the planet, and the US electorate need to remember their obligation in selecting the President is not a partisan or internal decision, but a decision that will affect the World.

The past 12 months of strict mainstream media censorship of Ron Paul only serves to confirm the impact his proposed fiscal policies and non-interventionalist foreign policies have had on the controlling international elite and those countries who would use their control of US media and military for their own ends. Why should powerful media magnates be able to select the Presidential candidates ? In this election, the most powerful global media magnate (he who ultimately determines a candidates media exposure) is not even a true American, but an Australian !

Ron Paul embodies the best qualities of the people of the USA. He is the only candidate who is not beholden to special interest groups or a foreign nation, and is therefore the only remaining candidate, either Republican or Democrat, with the true interests of the people of the USA at heart. Without exception, every other candidate plays 'political games' and makes promises of support to curry favor and generate financial support for their respective campaigns - these promises carry with them a debt that must be paid during the term of office. This fact alone should disqualify all other candidates from running for public office.

Ron Paul is the ONLY truly transparent candidate - ALL OTHER REMAINING CANDIDATES have something to hide in their past that could be deemed as treasonous, and contrary to the true interests of the people of the USA and the remainder of humanity.

The recent (farcical) presidential debates, clearly showed that the only candidate who truly understood the types of changes needed to fiscal or foreign policy without relying on 'advisors' is Ron Paul.

The American electorate need to awaken before it is too late - before the US currency is completely devalued and destroyed, and before their jobs are lost to foreign workforces.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote against the rising tide of global fascism and control. A VOTE FOR RON PAUL IS A VOTE FOR FREEDOM.

whoo...

...whoo... hullabaloo.  Get back to "The Constitution."  Smack that document like a fundamentalist biblio-smacker... but really...just what the hell is that?  The Constitution is a brilliant proposal to balance the relationship between the individual and the collective... an ancient problem... and one we nearly solved until Marx threw Historical Materialism into social theory into the gears of the Industrial Revolution... but it was due after the Newcomen steam engine and Adam Smith.

So then, the monarchs, tyrants and rich fatties had to obfuscate the line between economic and political theory. The rich fatties have drawn the line between left and right, capitalism and socialism... to obscure the fact that the rich fatties are making out and YOU are still jerking off in the corner trying to sort out "ideology." So today, the Paulitos cling to the "invisible hand" like the Newcomen steam engine. 

Clue: what we have in the US aint "capitalism," and what they had in the Soviet Union wasn't "communism;" it was the rich fatties making out as usual while we serfs fought over crumbs.  

The comforting fact is that the "invisible hand libertarians" are a small minority while the mainstream population is caught up in celebrity-cult "politics" like American Idol.  They won't get a clue until they're homeless and sleeping under a bridge.  THEN- they'll throw in with whoever promises the easiest answer... who is charismatic... and that AINT Ron Paul.  It will probably be somebody a thousand times sleazier and creepier.  

Ron Paul is probably a good man... but with limited vision... and extremely simplistic solutions.  Cuba and Venezuela are worth noting.   Far from perfect societies, they have at least endured (in Cuba's case) Peak Oil and the attempts (so far) of the rich-fat-military-industry of the US to suppress them.  We should learn from them... even if we don't want to duplicate their social or economic systems.  

So far, the Paulitos seem to be just another American Idol celebrity-cult based on "cut taxes" and "limited (or NO) government," which will lead to the tribal warfare we so happily introduced to Iraq and Afghanistan.  I see no true understanding of the Constitution.  

I see no true understanding of reality.

Ron Paul says we should TRADE with Chavez, Cuba, Iran...

And our trade should be established through treaties, not the UN and NAFTA or the WTO.

Stalin's communism was not mao's communism, but both were communist, not communal.  The lessons we learn is that when you want or expect the government to take care of you, protect you, provide for you, there is only one way thay can do it...there is only one way a government can provide equality and that is locking everyone up in a cell and feeding them the same food...and yet, humans being what they are, products of the earth, a planet whose nature is unfair and unequal..equality will never exist for men on earth...it's unnatuyal and most dangerous for freedom to want the government to be your nanny.
