I support Ron Paul wholeheartedly, and am insulted that my opinion is dismissed and marginalized in favor of mainstream bought-and-paid-for so called ‘top-tier’ candidates.

I was called a couple of months ago by UNH with this survey. I was asked up front, after stating that I was an Independent, who I would vote for. I stated that I hoped to be able to vote for Ron Paul. (I did say that I would probably be voting Republican in the primary). The young man giving me the survey hadn’t heard of Ron Paul, his name was not on his “list” as he hadn’t yet declared his candidacy.

Now that Ron Paul is a nominee, I believe most of those “party crasher” Independents would vote for him over any of the Democratic nominees.

I read lots of news articles, and I have not found anything more than a passing reference to Ron Paul in any British, French, German or Australian news site. What international suppor the has is probably due to readers of lewrockwell.com, who are even more out of the mainstream outside the U.S. than in.

Ron Paul is even more of an unknown overseas.

By the way go easy on the capitalization. It makes you look unhinged.

He is making headlines in China, Europe and South America. People hear him speak and IMMEDIATELY share and support his views. I have been registered as an Independent and as a Democrat, but I am registering as a Republican just to vote for RON PAUL in the primaries. I have donated $25 to his campaign, which is small, but I have never donated to ANY politician before.

I fully support RON PAUL. If you feel the same way, spread the word EVERYDAY. Tell someone new, everyday, about how you like Ron Paul. Share his Youtube videos and post them on MySpace and blogs. The Constitution has been dwindling under the corporate-owned, political system for the past 50 years. It’s time to take it back!

I doubt he would live to the next one. Definite assassination target. Anyone who thinks the neo-cons will give back the Republican Party is sadly mistaken. Ron Paul is a good man, and for his sake it might be better if he is ignored. Principled people have no place in Washington. Our country is already lost, accept it and find a niche in the powers that be.

NOW, I can’t stop talking or thinking about him. He just needs a little time. He has more youtube subscribers than any candidate 12,000+ vs. 2nd place Obama under 7k. Much of the support has just been since the debates.

RON PAUL ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!

America’s waking up. Ron Paul says that the USSR was a serious threat and this prez has us scared of villagers in 3rd world countries.

How is that worth $2 billion a week when Bush leaves the border wide open, folks??? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! We worry more about the border in Iraq than in our own coutry. Where’s the real continental threat? No more…you can’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining. It’s our money.

And to all of you pro-war people out there who are under 30…I hope you are over there serving and not sitting behind a computer talking crap. You should be serving if you think it’s such a great cause.

Yes… by todays standards, and with parties of today, the founding fathers would be considered fringe. That’s the whole point. We would not need so much of a change if the founding principles the country had not become fringe ideals.

For example, the CEO of MADD recently was quoted (I paraphrase, though) of saying that we’d have less drunk driving fatalities if defense attorneys were less concerned about clients constitutional rights, and more concerned with the victims.

Considering the support that comment has received from some people, it does identify a scary trend.

Also, Nancy, this is not the first time a party has fallen off of the track in what it believes. Parties do change with time. Do a bit of research on how the parties evolved through the years, and you will see some startling changes in them, and long before recent years.

So yes, even though I like Ron Paul, I consider him fringe. I consider my own thoughts fringe as well, for now.

It’s not hard to see now that the press is in full scale lie mode and in a PANIC at this dark horse who speaks the truth.

Congressman Paul votes with the Constitution 100% of the time. It’s amazing to me to see some Republicans call him out for being out of step with the “party”. That in fact speaks much more to how far the “party” has fallen, than it does to Dr. Paul. Ron has always consistently espoused traditional conservative principles of limited constitutional government, personal privacy, personal responsibility, fiscal responsibility in government, a strong national defense and individual liberty. It is the Republican party that changed THEIR tune to support the same big government BS that they used to rail against.

I have followed this great man, Ron Paul, for more than 20 years and my respect for him has only grown. He has more integrity, honesty and courage than anyone I can think of in D.C.

It’s time to reclaim OUR government and OUR country. Let’s join together and get out there and get this statesman elected.

I’ll be registering as a Republican so that I can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. If he gets the nomination, I’ll be voting for him in the general elections. If he doesn’t get the nomination, I’m writing his name in.

It’s all about Ron Paul in 2008!!!!
