UGH! - now that it's in an unknown number of places all over facebook... and there is a project post here to spread the original info. Is the project page link modified? If so, it should mostly be OK without having to put in a lot of time correcting things...

the original fb event page was modified already.

Great. Remember that 'the other side' in many forms will be on, as well.

Thanks. I'm just kind of anxiously awaiting!

I better take a nap for 11 EST. last time I was on a training call with the campaign I fell asleep with the phone.

I hope this is a pure leverage move to blackmail the GOP because (a) he doesn't have the necessary war chest (400 million minimum) and will be blacked out (b) any run would automatically surrender the election to Barack Obama and the blowback would set back the liberty movement 10 to 20 years. If he had real money that could bypass the media, I'd say go for it, but this is just not smart. If you're going to do it, you have do it under the reasoning that you're going to win, instead of some half-assed vengeance stunt.

IF Ron Paul runs ... please God, somebody convince him to get the best security there is.

How would Romney "save" the liberty movement?

OH BS! - please stop being a Debbie downer!

We have everything to gain by his running!

Apparently Romney is the face of the Liberty Movement these days. We are just trying to take it back.

I'm the voice of reason. This is suicide bomber stuff. Nothing to gain. No money = self-mutilation. If you can't raise at least 400 million, you have no business running. Where is Dr.Paul going to get this kind of money?

I hope everybody isn't just simply expecting Ron Paul to announce he is running.

I am personally expecting to do a lot of work to make this happen.

Those who want him to run want him in the debates. He was polled twice over the last year against Romney and Obama and both times got over the 15% threshold to get into the debates (although new polls would be needed since they need to be current.)

THAT is what would set back our movement!

That's why I'm probably on every domestic enemy list tabulated by the feds. I've been banned here once for threatening bodily harm on one Lamar Alexander. You have no idea what you're talking about and frankly you're out of your depth. I am far more politically wise than the Jim Jones gang in here.

What is politically wise to one person is selling out too far for another. The continuum is represented here, and name calling isn't appropriate.

If going Libertarian is "suicide," what is waiting until 2016 and playing with the corrupt GOP called?

I'm pretty sure Ron Paul wouldn't even consider running unless we got some new backers ... say from the likes of Sarah Palin whom Rove & the RNC dissed too. He's always defending Apple as an example of a successful organization that didn't get there through gov't help, and with his defense of internet freedom, I would hope they would support a run. I really don't understand why they didn't support him w/dough in the primaries.

While his rival candidates barely can restrain themselves from attacking China and lamenting the outsourcing of American jobs to China, the Texas congressman basically told everybody to just relax and stop worrying about those jobs.

His answer came after former Sen. Rick Santorum offered his response to how the government should react to Apple employing 500,000 people in China, far more than it has in the United States. CNN's John King, the debate moderator, turned to Paul.

"Apple's a great company," Paul began. "The way you asked the question, it infers that because there's a bunch of workers overseas, it hasn't benefited a lot of people here. The consumers obviously have been benefited by a good company well run." He added, "A lot of people worry about us buying and money going overseas. But if you send money to China... they don't put the dollars in a shoe box. They have to spend those dollars. Unfortunately, they're buying our debt and perpetuating our consumerism here and our debt here. But immediately, there's a benefit to us because those dollars come back."

He said American consumers benefit from lower costs. "Let's say the computer cost $100 instead of $1,000. Well, the person's just saved $900. That helps the economy. That $900 stays in that person's pocket." He concluded, "We shouldn't be frightened about trade or sending money on."

More fun to watch (again):
