Maine should be our #1 focus right now. Go, go, go! Freedom lovers of the North! **BUMP

Honestly, whether we are winning or losing right now doesn't affect my passion for this campaign. I want Dr. Paul to win. I hope Dr. Paul will win. I believe that Dr. Paul will win. Yes, yes, and yes. But we ARE facing an uphill battle. What idiot thinks the establishment will not pull every...

This does pose some logistical issues on the debate stage... Can he locate that text fast enough? Will Dr. Paul's concentration be broken by waiting for the right moment to refer to the document? That said, one of the most memorable moments of the 2008 campaign was Dr. Paul presenting Giuliani...

If he were to do something like this, he should set up his own URL-shortening site (similar to bit.ly)... During the debate, he could refer to "rplinks.com/gingrich1", "rplinks.com/911comm", "rplinks.com/ciairanreport", "rplinks.com/fakecuts", "rplinks.com/mittisobama"... However, there is a...

Because American economy will recover and productivity will soar and the Chinese will be buying American products. We have to tell them how to order American products. The customer is king, after all!

In cases like this, Dr. Paul's arguments take a step-by-step approach by starting with the basic idea of property rights. The homeowners own their home and land. They also own the clean water that is produced in it. Taking away the clean water from the homeowner's land is a violent act. It...

This is why we cannot spare any resource in 2012 to elect Ron. As good as Rand is, he is no Ron. Ron Paul never compromised even when he *did* have a future to think about. Ron was never shy about telling it to the people in the most straight terms possible. Ron convinced the people with open...

If you are going to read the papers, then it might be worth it. However, there are a great number of journals that are not published by the AEA. Among the AEA journals, the American Economic Review is a top journal, but the rest are so-so, so you might be missing a lot. However, you should be...

I am a mainstream economist and I am not a member of the AEA. Even those who are members do not list this in their CVs. In reality, an economist suffers no disadvantages professionally by not joining the AEA. In fact, the AEA itself has little to no power over economics. Certain members of the...

May he live another 88 years---this time, with FREEDOM.

I realize that there is some frustration as to why Evangelical Christians are not tripping over themselves running to the candidate. who married his high school sweetheart has stayed true to his wife for 50+ years has delivered 4000+ babies (many of them for free, when the mother could not...

Colbert is all about mocking whoever can be mocked, truth be damned. Compare and contrast his end-of-show interviews with Jon Stewart's end-of-show interviews. Jon Stewart, though imperfect and misinformed on many issues, is a good-faith interviewer who tries to extract a clear view of his...

Dr. Paul's "Independent" vote is different from Romney and Huntsman's "independent" vote. Independents who vote for Romney and Huntsman flip-flop between parties depending on where the wind is blowing. Independents who vote for Dr. Paul evaluate candidates independently instead of following the...

Someone...please Youtube this for me. I missed it!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON PAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/epolls/nh Dr. Paul won 42% of the anti-Romney vote. Romney won 43% of the anti-Paul vote. Could it possibly be any clearer? Dr. Paul won the demographic that thought that Romney ran the most unfair campaign. Romney won the demographic that...
