Don’t forget to join the troops on the Ron Paul Forum at http://ronpaulforum.com

[i]Liberals first applied the “neo” prefix to their comrades who broke ranks to become more conservative in the 1960s and 70s. The defectors remained more liberal on some domestic policy issues. But foreign policy stands have always defined neoconservatism. Where other conservatives favored détente and containment of the Soviet Union, neocons pushed direct confrontation, which became their raison d’etre during the 1970s and 80s.[/i]

You say that Bush and Guiliani are “are rejects from the far left wing of the Democratic Party who have infiltated the Republican Party.”

Thats so ridiculous. You voted for these neocons, so stop pretending that they’re from the left. There rightwing fascists. There nothing like progressives. You’re frankly an idiot. Own up to you’re poor judgement.

I think that the majority of Paul’s supporters are made up of folks who have been spending alot of their on-line activity researching issues of liberty. Many of Ron’s newfound supporters (read younger) discovered him serendipitously.

The real challenge is going to be how to keep this momentum going and make it translate into persuasion.

We have to remember that alot of the folks who still believe in the Bush agenda are still subject to neocon slogans. But they are *not* evil. It would be a terrible mistake to dehumanize those who support other GOP candidates.

Keep telling yourself that. Ron Paul never treats his detractors with disrespect or disdain. He doesn’t personalize. And that’s what we as his supporters have to emulate lest we do him a grave disservice. Anyone can be educated. People are not inherently stupid. Misguided perhaps.

Even though Iraq is in fact the main issue that will drive Ron Paul to success, it will be the biggest wedge between current GOP faithful and Ron Paul supporters.

In general, the current neocon thinking is that they are in a veto-proof majority and everyone else is thinking crazy. This isn’t going to change by beating them down. Best to leave them alone. Some will have the intellectual honesty to consider Ron Paul’s position. Give them the time to do this on their own.

The people that Ron Paul’s supporters need to reach first are those who have given up on politics.

The beauty of Ron Paul’s candidacy at this point is his past record of achievements. It is what gives people hope. He has succeeded already 10 times in prior elections. And once elected he never wavered from his principles.

Ron Paul will be the NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. And I have been a Republican for most of my life. I was ready to go 3rd party until Congressman Paul showed up.

I don’t think your conspiracy theory makes any sense (few do). Why would the Democrats want an anti-war Republican as the nominee? That would eliminate the Democrats’ biggest advantage over the Republicans in 2008. Trust me, an anti-war Republican is the last thing they want to see.

I hope I’m correct in this. If true, then I think the Internet is a better medium than television because it throws us back towards the Enlightenment idea that politicians should provide reasons rather than just emotional appeals. That is, maybe politics will grow up a little with the help of the Internet.

The CFR and World Bank are backed by what is essentially communists, because the world terrorism threat is fueled by an unwillingness for diplomacy and trade, and a desire for corporate control and war profits. They want One World Government at all costs. They don’t want anyone to have the ability to vote on any of this.

This is a power grab, plain and simple. A few elitists want to run the world. Are we going to let them do this?

KEEP RECORDS ON RON PAUL’S OPPOSITION: Those who openly support the North American Union or One World Government are supporters of communism. We need to know who these people are. These people should be in prison.

I find the thoughts of some misguided so called conservative republican to suggest Ron Pauls supporters are democrats to be simply ridiculous.

The facts suggest Ron Paul is adored by many true conservatives, democrats, independents, etc.

I voted for Bush both times or should i say I was fooled twice by Bush. Not this time I have actually read details about each candidate, I have attended four other Republican presidential candidates events as well as two democratic hopefuls.

Ron Paul’s support is growing and growing. For those stupid republican’s who can’t see the forest for the trees and notice that Pauls supporters will cross party lines just to vote for Paul then our republican party would serve itself well to embrace Paul so we can beat “Billary”

In my view Ron Paul is the only option.

This is a pretty telling comment. Consider:
To forbid the “mentally derange” from owning guns or doing anything else, *someone has to decide who is mentally deranged and who isn’t.

There is considerable support in the established media and party system for the notion that Ron Paul supporters are all mentally deranged. Using the VA Tech tragedy as a pretext, it wouldn’t be difficult to deprive them (and any other people who question these established powers) of their right to bear arms.

Would that be good?

I believe you meant to say that the neo-cons as epitomized by George W. Bush & Rudy McRomney are the Democrats. If so, you are in fact correct. These types of folks (& their supporters) are rejects from the far left wing of the Democratic Party who have infiltated the Republican Party & almost destroyed its self-government ideals & replaced them with what they’ve always said the Democrats would do if elected: blow up the size & scope of every government activity in our lives. In fact, the Bush years & the Republican majority have been a fast track towards everything the far left has always attempted to do, but has never been able to implement except in increments.

Luckily Ron Paul is holding a candle to the hurricane force wind of these political contortionists.

The second American Revolution is being led & lit by this candle & we, the people, are mobilizing behind the carrier of it & its messanger of hope: Ron Paul.
