Vote for peace, freedom and prosperity. Vote Ron Paul in the GOP primary. The newsletter controversy was a tempest in a teapot. The articles were all taken out of context. Read antiwar.com columnist Justin Raimondo’s excellent expose of the fascist columnist at TNR.

Vote and support Ron Paul.

Well duh, the Onion could have told you that :)

Ron Paul has opened my eyes to the fact that there are insane people voting who cancel my well informed vote.

Full disclosure: I voted for Paul today just so I could make jokes about being a registered Republican.

All the other candidates I am sure would have blamed someone else immediately and took none of the blame. Paul has admitted blame, that even though he did not write most of what is considered a problem, because it was written under his name he is still to blame for what was written. That does not mean that he is a racist. Far from it. As others have said he is easily the least racist of the bunch running.

If you want to vote for someone with the highest amount of character then you need to vote for Ron Paul. If you want to vote for the person that has the best history towards liberty than you should vote for Ron Paul. If you want to continue our path towards socialism and a police state any of the other candidates would suffice. There really isn’t much difference between them.

While not voting is an option, a non-vote is as good as a vote for the winner as that is what they will see it as. They will see it as you not having any problems with them or their opinions on the issues.

First of all, much of the accusations against Ron Paul and are blatant lies issued by the American National Socialist Workers Party. The New York Times issued a back-page retraction of their hit piece: http://themedium.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/26/editors-note-the-ron-paul-vid-lash/

Either get used to the fact that the political figures of the status quo are slimeballs, dirtbags, looters and whores or stay out of politics. Personally, I’m getting tired of all my Libertarian friends who train their votes on only pure fantasy candidates with 1 chance in 100 million rather than a less-than-perfect, but amazingly good freedom-fighter like Ron Paul who’s got a chance more like 1 in 40.

Second, regarding the newsletter statements on Martin Luther King, please remember that these were given in context of the debate over whether to give a national holiday to the man himself instead of just a Human Rights day that would inevitably honor him. The fact is, MLK’s personal life is far less than honorable, even though many of his accomplishments are worthy of the praise of a hero. It is not racist to point-out that even heroes have foibles. Is it unpatriotic to admit that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves? No, all the more patriotic to admit the truth.
Enemies of Ron Paul would have me labeled a racist for merely pointing-out that MLK might have been an imperfect human, just as they have for Ron Paul allowing contributors to do the same. Interstingly, most of the comments on Ron Paul’s old newsletters are truthful, even if miserably out-of-touch with the political correctness of 2008.

If we chose to push racist faux pas’ of other candidates, it would be simple with McCain’s ‘gook’ statement, Romney’s ‘Who let the dogs out’ statement that was so embarassingly out of touch with the black community that it was actually hard to watch.

Don’t forget the Democrats. Hillary (suspected female), Obama (possibly less black than Bill Clinton?). Watching anything between these two is a joke. Both rely on names of celebs for endorsements rather than talking about relevent issues. Anyone not voting Ron Paul is really just endorsing the status quo system of changing absolutely nothing.

I am just curious, your by line says that this blog is written by the heirs of Patrick Henry. Do you you still hold for liberty or death as did he?

But, you see, I am not a conservative.

Then ‘splain this:

If Fred Thompson’s name hasn’t been removed from the ballot, I might just vote for the one guy who, had he actually run a competent campaign, might have been able to stop John McCain.

I don’t believe for a minute that if you supported and believed in what Ron Paul talks about, AKA actual conservatism

But, you see, I am not a conservative.

Kevin- I would definitely favor Instant Runoff voting over our current system. I used to think it was a dumb idea, but now I think I could write a book about all the ways I think it’s superior. Not least of which is the impact it would have on reducing the strength of political parties.
