I came to change Washington but in the end Washington changed me. To understand what it happening we must remember what has been done in the past. When Goldwater took the nomination he did so on a groundswell of conservative support. Those conservatives went through the system and eventually...

Right, so I would tend to believe that you are mistaken when you make a claim that he is earmarking his money for Washinton DC. One of the posters has kindly given a link to all his recent earmark requests and they are all for his district. http://i.cnn.net/cnn/interactive/all...tx.14.paul.pdf...

The simple answer is that he earmarked these things because that is what his constitutes asked him to earmark. He has a certain amount of money to spend and by God, if his constitutes want him to spend it, he shall. This does not mean that he comes up with these proposals on a whim, however...

The funny thing about all this fighting about earmarks is that everyone agrees that earmarks shouldn't exist. Thererfore, we support Ron Paul in voting against it. He is the ONLY congressman that does so. Sometimes that is glossed over but it is the most important point. However (if you want...

Why does everyone mention the 4.2 million dollar day, not the 6 million dollar day? The second, BIGGER event never got the kind of attention the first one did. It's at the point where it seems to be ignored. I don't understand why. That should be the one referenced. That was the record...

*sigh* asgardshill was the one that gave me 5 stars. I assume that was because of this Lee guy that you guys are posting about. Also, what I MEANT was all the Ron Paul delegates will now have to vote for McCain at the convention (I clarified that statement on my original post. The important...

RP website admits he is NO LONGER RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! Go read the sad truth at http://www.ronpaul2008.com/. So he just wrecked the work of all those people that worked to become delegates for him then? Now everyone will have to vote for McCain at the convention since there is no...

I was thinking about trying to go over and do some Ron Paul protesting. Never done anything like that before and I'm not sure I can. I still don't know what time it is (I assume around noon) or how long I'd be there or if I can get the time off work. I suppose I'd need a sign too. Something...

Very clever. The post was confusing at first read but I got it on the second time through. I actually laughed at the "size isn't important line" when I figured out that it meant the % of the vote. Good one.

I thought that Ron Paul was of the opinion that no level of government had the right to legislate marrage (except in regards to polygamy and the underage, possibly only the latter of those two). Marrage was traditionally a function of church and government was not involved at all in this...

Hi, I was wondering if you could talk about the differences between the Constitutionalist and the Libertatrian parties. I'm not sure what the difference is. Also, I was wondering why you think dogmatically believing in Ron Paul's platform is bad, as his positions are all constitutional. Can...

Having intagraty and intelligence is helpful as well. You don't have to be running on Ron's platform but you do need to have a set of principals that you hold to. If Ron Paul didn't walk the talk, if he wasn't able to articulate his positions, if he couldn't show how his beliefs give a...

Good points. I'll consider that. It's hard for me to have a high opinion of people that say what he did though. I know in my heart they are almost certainly not serious. Anyway, he had heard of Ron Paul and flung out the old Newsletter scandal, which I didn't post here. I think handled that...

I hope so too but that's a fail safe. All anonymous posts are screened so he can delete them. When my screened posts stopped going up, I joined and the posts were not screened then but after he set that to screen for that as well. I found that out when I tried to repost. He then banned me from...

Very annoying. I have been reading about Ron Paul since November and I figured it was time to see how well I have learned the old time, Taft Republican talk. I decided to mention Ron Paul on a blog of a webcomic author I like. First I went under anonymous but after my first post the subsequent...
