Ron Paul for President? (Page 5 of 13)

Hi Lyra,

Although this one action might make you believe he is "in on it", you have misunderstood his reasons for agreeing to the war in Afghanistan.  He knows that what we have done is a complete waste of time because the only reason he voted for the resolution was because he thought we were going to restrict the oppressive reign of the Taliban and go after Bin Laden (which is definitely not the case)

He said this only a month after our invasion.  I mean, even the Taliban tried to offer us Bin Laden if we could prove he was guilty.

I totally agree that most of the past presidents have been chosen long before they were elected, however, if you look at today's world, TPTB are slowly losing ground everywhere.  David Wilcock mentioned on his site about how they're losing porn, alcohol, tobacco, mainstream media, the drug war, the war on terrorism - their house of cards is collapsing rapidly.  They obviously have chosen HuckaGiuliRomney VS BillaryBama as their primary candidates and the rest don't really have a chance.  Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are the only three not on the CFR and who talk about anything worth talking about in the debates.  Elizabeth Kucinich mentioned that a Paul/Kucinich ticket would even be a possibility.  Here we have a politician who interest groups don't even bother with and has gotten his massive amounts of donations through completely self-organized grassroots support.  Individuals willing to work for the collective.  Check this out.

These people are not victims of mind control (look how much more effective PEOPLE are!  if it was MC, they'd be using it for their candidates) He is OBVIOUSLY not their choice, and with the poo-slinging that starts every article about him and the fact that every major interview throws the question (which isn't even really a question, more of a vampiric statement),"You know you have no chance of winning, right?"  They are SCARED.  Time is rapidly accelerating, the power is quickly shifting, and I don't see why electing a president with an ounce of moral integrity is a bad thing.  Sure, I don't agree with him on every issue, but come on, he's talking about our national debt (what other candidate even mentions the words?), the Federal Reserve, and is willing to abolish most of our defunct national programs.  Now, this certainly won't happen overnight but it will give our blindfolded nation a long hard look at itself and help realize what we need to do to fix it.

The momentum his campaign has from individuals is enormous.  Even if he doesn't get elected (and I HOPE he will - otherwise, I'm seriously worried about the future of this country, as I'm sure we all are) he will have a backing of supporters who are going to flood the 2010 elections.  People that think for themselves to think for our community.

Also, a president willing to re-open a 9/11 investigation?  He repeatedly says that he doesn't believe our government was involved in the attacks (obviously there were quite a few corrupted complimentary cogs) but a lot of that might come out if he gets elected.  If one of those cogs spills the beans... Nuremburg Trials 2.

All in all, I'd say he's worth voting for.  He's got a donation drive commemorating the Boston Tea Party on the 16th - his last drive gave him the GOP one day record.  Hopefully he gets the all-time record this time around. 

Just wanted to remind anyone who wasn't aware -

www.teaparty07.com

today is the commemoration of the boston tea party.  as of 3PM, Ron Paul has garnered over 4 million. Paul's last bomb hauled 4.2 million in 24 hours. Kerry set the record of 5.3 million in one day when he accepted the democrat presidential nomination.  it's already going to be beaten, but the question is by how much?

spread the message to your friends and let freedom ring.

As much as I dislike talking politics on forums such as this...well i'm going to!

OK, I "like" Ron Paul. As many have said on here, the more I hear from him the more I like him. But I've felt the same way about Nader and Kucinich in the past, candidates whom I hold close to my heart, and voted for, but have known they wouldn't have had a chance. There's something different about Ron Paul that Kucinich or Nader didn't have; and this is the amount of fundraising he has raised, despite the lack of media coverage he's received. I think this is great! but is this enough?

Another thing is that I've NEVER voted republican. I've always voted either democrat or independent. Growing up with a very liberal mindset, and having parents that consistently voted republican....I can't see myself doing this. Joe Lieberman made an interesting point that this election is too important and shouldn't hinge on partisan lines; as he is now endorsing McCain. Perhaps a good point! Yet I still can't see myself doing this.

So hence, my vote still goes to Obama...as it has since the democratic convention during Kerry's run.

Do i like him?
Yup

Is it realistic?
Sure

Oh and he's not republican.

And he's not that woman.

I don't believe much in voting. I think all of these things are staged and decided long beforehand. Just read anything by Zbigniew Brzezinski and you can see they almost openly tell you exactly what's going to happen.

In lieu of all this I still find myself becoming hopeful when I hear Ron Paul speak, and wonder if I shouldn't vote this time, and perhaps it may make a difference after all. Probably just another pipe dream...

Yes, it's amazing how many people still don't realize this.  This revelation came out months ago, and Obama started using it as humor in his speeches in order to diffuse the pesky questions and lightbulb connections that might arise in voters' minds. 

David Icke and others have been saying for years and years now that most of the presidents are related genetically.  The conspiracy theorists know this.  It's the mainstream public that's either still in the dark, or refusing to listen and believe it.  But the Obama/Cheney link came out in the mainstream news arena and so something needed to be done about it.  He couldn't ignore it, that would make it even more suspicious, so, he chose to address it head on, and used the age-old tactic of humor to diffuse it.  That's usually all you have to do with most people, just crack a joke, distract them, then plow forward.   But I'm hoping that the more alert people out there didn't let that distract them.  I hope people put two and two together.  "Gee............Obama is related to Cheney.............Al Gore was related to Bush.............Kerry was related to both of them.................what's going on here?!?!  Why are all the supposed separate and independent presidential candidates linked genetically?!?!"

So, pass the word on to people you know in life when the subject of politics and the '08 election comes up, or on other message boards you all may post to.  It's time for the public to wake up already.

The thing that makes me the sickest is the $ bullshit.
OK, Paul has $6M. Great.
It does show the level of desperation among average Americans to get these walking turds out of office. Which I understand.
But.. why does it always come down to who has the fattest purse? WTF does that have to do with respectable governance?

NOTHING!!!!

Do people not see this as the bribery that it is?

I say we give each candy-date $10,000.
And see how far they get on that. Chances are none of them will make it to the end of their own driveway.

Then, when we have none left-  we can hit the refresh button. We'll find 6 or 8 more stooges, see how far they get.

Yeah, I'm cynical. I voted for Perot in '92 AND '96, back when I still bought into this fantasy of freedom. He was a self-made man, already richer than all his fellow candidates,
so he needed zero campaigning donations.

AND he said he would do the job WITHOUT taking any salary. I'm sure it wasn't all that simple, but between the two R.P.s..... give me Ross.

But, sorry- I won't vote with a gun to my head, not an icecube's chance in hell.
