New Ron Paul TV Ad: "The Only One"

Ron Paul has unveiled a new television ad today – titled “The Only One” – that is running in Tennessee and Arkansas. His ads have been getting a little better over the past few months. This being his best one so far.

Ron Paul Endorsed By Alabama Republican Assembly

BIRMINGHAM, January 26—The Alabama Republican Assembly today announced the winner of its Presidential Endorsing Convention held on January 26, 2008 at the Birmingham Marriott.

Delegates from ALRA clubs around the state attended the endorsing convention to select their choice for the Republican nomination. The ALRA requires a 2/3rds majority to endorse a candidate, otherwise no endorsement is made.

Republican Ron Paul succeeded in winning the ALRA endorsement on the 1st round of voting. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee came in second.

“We congratulate Ron Paul on winning the ALRA endorsement,” said Elaine Little, Chairman of the Endorsing Convention. “It’s evident that the overwhelming majority of delegates determined that Congressman Paul best represents the Republican platform and the conservative values of limited government and personal freedom.”

Little went on to explain that in a crowded field of several candidates, it’s unusual that an endorsement would be won on the first ballot.

The ALRA hosted a corresponding straw poll that was open to the public while the endorsing convention was taking place. The winner of the straw poll, with 81% of total votes cast was Ron Paul, with Mike Huckabee coming in second with 13% and Mitt Romney in third with 6%.

“Ron Paul’s grassroots support is second to none among all other republican campaigns this cycle,” stated attorney Tom Davis, Vice President of the ALRA and delegate to the endorsing convention. “The results of our straw poll parallel the results in most straw polls throughout the country. Ron Paul has clearly excited many new people and energized them to get involved in the political process. The Republican Party should be grateful for all the ‘new blood’ coming in as a result of Congressman Paul’s message of freedom and returning to the Constitution.”

The Alabama Republican Assembly is a grass-roots volunteer organization chartered by the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. The NFRA was founded in 1997 to promote conservative values and principles in the Republican Party.

Ronald Reagan referred to the NFRA as “the conscience if the Republican Party.”

Don Luskin and Peter Schiff Named Economic Advisors to Ron Paul

Yesterday Ron Paul appointed Don Luskin as his first economic advisor. Just a few days ago Luskin endorsed Dr. Paul. He issued the following statement about Dr. Paul’s proposed comprehensive economic revitalization plan:

“Ron Paul’s economic plan is the real thing – a plan. It’s not just a band-aid designed to ‘stimulate’ the economy in an election year. It’s a fundamental agenda for real and lasting change, making the US economy more vibrant and competitive, and removing barriers to advancement for all Americans.”

Today Ron Paul also appointed Peter Schiff as his second economic advisor. Peter Schiff issued the following statement about Dr. Paul’s proposed comprehensive economic revitalization plan:

“We need a plan that stimulates savings and production not more of the reckless borrowing and consumption that got us into this mess in the first place. Ron Paul’s plan is the only one that amounts to a step in the right direction. If you want meaningful change - for the better that is - Ron Paul is the only candidate capable of delivering it. The others merely promise to continue the failed policies that are at the root of our current economic problems.”

Peter Schiff is president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc, and a frequent guest on CNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg Television. He is often quoted in major financial publications and is the author of the book Crash Proof.

Don Luskin and Peter Schiff have their differences but they both have one thing in common, they both hate the Fed.

Ron Paul Unveils a REAL Economic Stimulus Plan

Four-pronged approach will strengthen the economy by reforming taxes, cutting spending, improving monetary policy and eliminating burdensome regulations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 24, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA –Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has unveiled a comprehensive economic revitalization package. The four-pronged plan is designed to stem the current economic slide and address the unsound governmental policies that are harming Americans’ pocketbooks.

“Real economic reform must address the underlying reasons for the current economic malaise,” said Ron Paul. “This plan is more than just a band-aid for our economy; it fundamentally reforms four areas where government policies are damaging our national economy. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus, and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity.”

The comprehensive economic revitalization plan is available online at: http://www.RonPaul2008.com/Prosperity.

The four areas that the plan covers are:

1. Tax Reform: Reduce the tax burden and eliminate taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes.

2. Spending Reform: Eliminate wasteful spending. Reduce overseas commitments. Freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.

3. Monetary Policy Reform: Expand openness with the Federal Reserve and require the Fed to televise its meetings. Return value to our money.

4. Regulatory Reform: Repeal Sarbanes/Oxley regulations that push companies to seek capital outside of US markets. Stop restricting community banks from fostering local economic growth.

Congressman Paul has written or co-sponsored numerous bills to enact the policies in his plan. In Congress, he has been a champion of lower taxes and limited government.

Congressman Paul is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. In Congress, Dr. Paul has never voted for a tax increase or for an unbalanced budget.

Florida Debate

McCain stumbles over Ron Paul’s question. He didn't answer it because he had no clue what the Ron was talking about and has little knowledge of the way the economy works. The entire time answering the question he just named people he would have in his administration if he were elected and avoided the question.

Transcript of Ron Paul's Question and McCain’s answer.

"My question is for Senator McCain. This is an economic question that I want to ask. It has to do with the President's working group on financial markets. I'd like to know what your opinion is of this and whether you would keep it in place, what their role would be. Or would you get rid of this group? And if you kept the group, would you make sure that we'd see some sunlight and know what they're doing and how they are being involved with our markets?" – Ron Paul

“Well obviously we would like to see more sunshine but I as President, like every other President, rely primarily on my Secretary of Treasury, on my Council of Economic Advisors and Head of that and I would rely on circle that I have had developed over many years of ..people like Jack Kemp, Phil Gramm, Warren Ruddman, Pete Peterson and the Concord Group. I have a process of leadership, Ron, that is sort of an Inclusive one that I have developed a circle of acquintances and and people who are supporters and friends of mine whom I worked with for many many years.” – McCain

“You get rid of this group.” – Ron

“You remember, in 1982, Phil Gramm and Warren Ruddman and Graham and all those people got the first real tax cuts done... The Real first restraints in Taxes. I was there. You were there. I rely on those people to a much larger degree than any "formal" organization. Although the Secretary of Treasury is one the Key and important post that I would have.” – McCain

Huckabee makes a claim he was the only one on the stage who predicted that the market drop at a debate in Dearborn, Michigan which we all know is not true.

Ron Paul Comes In 2nd In Louisiana

Ron Paul wins yet another second place finish in a state caucus. This time in Louisiana. A little after the Caucus there was a lot of speculation that he came in first. John McCain ended winning the state.

The Louisiana contest, however, is not a battleground state in the race for the Republican nomination as candidates have focused on bigger prizes in South Carolina and Florida.

Fred Thompson dropping out of the race boosted Paul’s vote count which is good thing. If Thompson were to have stayed in the race he would have won. A Louisiana political source explained to NR, his state delegate strength in Louisiana would have been enough to potentially get him all of the state’s 47 national delegates. The one big problem, though, is that he dropped out only hours before he finally won something.

Unconfirmed results show that Ron won at least 46 of the 95 alternates that were selected. The delegates and alternates chosen yesterday will pick 24 of the National Convention delegates and choose 20 more delegates later. The only way that can change is if some candidate gets a majority of the primary vote on Feb. 9th.

Louisiana voters have become disenchanted with its state’s stance against online gambling. Ron Paul is against Internet gambling prohibition.

More Major Endorsements

On the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, Norma McCorvey (a.k.a. "Jane Roe," who later changed her views on abortion in the mid-90s) gave Paul her official endorsement today.

"I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v. Wade. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn," she said at a press conference in Washington this morning.

Paul accepted the pro-life activist's endorsement, saying of abortion: "It is still one of the most crucial issues of our day that we deal with this. As much as I talk about economic liberties, and civil liberties, and trying to avoid the killing overseas, I think the issue of life is paramount."

Donald L. Luskin, Chief Investment Officer for Trend Macrolytics LLC and contributing editor of the National Review Online also endorsed Dr. Paul. In his endorsement statement, Luskin wrote: “Ron Paul is the only candidate of any party with the courage and the insight to address the most fundamental issues of economic liberty – which is fundamental to human liberty.”

Fred Thompson Drops Out

Former Republican Senator Fred Thompson has officially dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination for President. Fred’s campaign lacked the organization and funding after giving all he had in South Carolina.

Thompson was hyped heavily prior to entering the race but once he finally did enter he was never able to build any kind of momentum. In fact his candidacy seemed to peak before he even entered the race as his actual campaign left a lot to be desired. Thompson appeared to be lazy, bored, and not particularly knowledgeable or intelligent in debates and campaign appearances.

“Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” Thompson said in a statement.

MLK Money Bomb $1.85 million

In the past 24 hours Ron Paul supporters donated $1.85 million. This is the 3rd largest amount raised in a single day. On November 5th $4 million was raised and on December 5th $6 million was raised for his campaign. I myself donated $50 today as well as on the 16th of December. Some supporters were hoping to have at least pass what was raised on the first money bomb back in November but what was raised in the past 24 hours should still help Ron to be well funded heading into super Tuesday.

Ron Paul’s first quarter total after yesterday money bomb in now just over $3.2 million which puts him ahead of Huckabee. Huckabee has raised $2.1 million so far this quarter.

Gary Johnson Endorses Ron Paul

Today, Gary Johnson who was a two-term governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003 has formally endorsed Ron Paul for President. As governor, he was a forceful advocate for limited government, gaining the nickname "Veto Johnson" for his record of vetoing hundreds of bills.

To announce his endorsement, Governor Johnson issued the following statement:

“I am endorsing Ron Paul for the Republican nomination for President because of his commitment to less government, greater liberty, and lasting prosperity for America. We are at a point in this country where we need to reduce our dependency on government and regain control of our future. To this end, Ron Paul will bring back troops, end the War in Iraq, and will strengthen the U.S. dollar and the economy. For these reasons and more, Ron Paul has my support, respect, and vote.”

More a Libertarian than an actual Greed-and-Bigotry Republican, he's best known for having advocated the legalization of drugs and for meeting with far right New Mexico militia members after the Oklahoma City bombing. Now that Duncan Hunter, hauled up the white flag, Trent Franks, Bill Young, Gary Miller, and two of Paul's Texas colleagues, John Culberson and Ralph Hall, are available to endorse Ron. These are all Paul allies and Ron Paul supporters should contact them and ask them to endorse him.

Along with Gary Johnson, CPO (Constitution Party of Oregon) has made a "wholehearted" endorsement of Ron Paul for president.

Here's the top three from the list included with the CPO press release:

1. Never voted for a tax increase during his time in Congress.

2. Supports elimination of any program not specifically authorized by the constitution.

3. He'd bring the soldiers home, "not just from Iraq but also from 130 other countries where we have left them to languish."

Duncan Hunter drops out

Duncan Hunter has officially dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination after a poor showing in the Nevada caucus, his campaign said Saturday. He thought that he would have done much better there than the previous states which he also came in last. The only state that he did decent in was Wyoming where he came in 3rd and took 1 State Delegate. Since then has not been able gain much support.

Is Fred Thompson soon to follow? Fred skipped New Hampshire, Nevada, and Michigan, all of which he bombed in, in order to compete in South Carolina. He had the money to run ads and spent more time in South Carolina after Iowa than any of the other candidates. After all the time and money he spent in South Carolina he only placed third with less than half the percentage of the vote that McCain pulled in.

If Thompson were to drop out it could bring an increase of new supporters to Ron Paul. Thompson and Paul are the only two that are true conservative candidates. Thompson's supporters are also hard core conservatives which could end up supporting Ron Paul.

South Carolina primary results

With 97 percent of the Precincts reporting in South Carolina, Ron Paul has finished in 5^th place ahead of Giuliani again. McCain finished first followed by Huckabee, Thompson, and Romney.

Thompson finished in third which means he could end up dropping out of the contest soon. He spent most of his time in South Carolina betting all he had on this state to win. The same could happen in Florida to Giuliani who is also very low on funds.

Ron Paul only received 4 percent of the vote where the Ron Paul blimp spent a considerable amount of time that resulted in little to no votes.

South Carolina Primary Results

33% John McCain
30% Mike Huckabee
16% Fred Thompson
15% Mitt Romney
4% Ron Paul
2% Rudy Giuliani
0% Duncan Hunter

Ron Pual places 2nd in Nevada

Ron Paul finished in 2^nd place behind Romney followed by McCain in the Nevada Caucus. Ron Paul may have lost the popularity vote but, he basically won the delegate battle. Romney supporters did not want to be delegates which left the majority of the delegates to Paul.

On March 5th county conventions will elect delegates to the April 26th state convention. Only then are the national convention delegates are elected. There he could end up winning most of the state delegates.

He also received 51 percent of Independent votes who voted Republican.

The South Carolina primaries are also today but I don’t believe he will finish any higher than 4^th or 5^th.

Nevada Caucus Results

51% Romney
14% Paul
13% McCain
8% Huckabee
8% Thompson
4% Giuliani
2% Hunter

Ron Paul beats Giuliani and Thompson

Ron Paul ended up in fourth place behind Romney, McCain, and Huckabee in the Michigan primaries. He finished with 30,000 more votes than Giuliani and 22,000 ahead of Thompson.

So far it looks like Paul gets around 6-10% each time there's a vote. Remember Paul beat Giuliani in Iowa, and got pretty close to him in New Hampshire, but he did beat Thompson there.

If Thompson loses in South Carolina he is probably out or soon will be. Same with Huckabee and Romney cannot afford many more loses or he is through. Right now it seems to be a race of staying power to see which one can afford to keep going. If the ones who are left make it to Florida and have little money for the blitz, Ron Paul just might sneak in and win.

The biggest obstacle facing Ron Paul in the remaining primaries may be the viability question. He has far more volunteers than any other Republican candidate but, many voters still consider him a long shot after months of media conditioning to that effect. In the exit polls, 12 percent of Republican voters named Ron Paul as the candidate most likely to bring needed change, but only 48 percent of those respondents actually voted for him.

Michigan Primary Results

39% Romney
30% McCain
16% Huckabee
6% Paul
4% Thompson
3% Giuliani
0% Hunter

Ron Paul supporter sends $130,000 of his own money

Reno businessman Mitch Lau so believes Texas Congressman Ron Paul is the right man to lead America that he has spent -- by his own account -- $130,000 to bolster the Republican's efforts to win the Nevada Caucus.

Not content to contribute the legal limit of $4,600 to Paul's presidential campaign, Lau has invested his personal wealth into building a one-man operation in Northern Nevada.

Since the summer, Lau has bought $11,000 worth of air time on local cable television, run full-page ads in the alternative weekly newspaper, paid for a network of billboards and made sure Paul had a presence on Northern Nevada radio stations.

"I feel like Ron Paul and his message is really our last hope for freedom," Lau said.

Campaign finance laws allow individuals to spend as much as they want in support of a candidate as long as their efforts are completely separate from the candidate's campaign.

But Federal Election Commission regulations do require individuals to publicly report their expenses once they spend more than $250 in an election year.

Grassroots support

Paul's anti-establishment, libertarian candidacy has attracted grassroots support from lots of people with different ideologies. The result is a network of fervent people who, like Lau, have made substantial personal investments in the campaign outside of normal volunteer channels.

Television commercials aired by Lau, for example, were produced by a 35-year-old video editor in Hancock, Wis., who started his own political action committee to help Paul.

Chris Rye said his ads have played in at least eight states across the country, largely through efforts of people unconnected with the Paul campaign who bought air time.

And with the New Hampshire primary now over, dozens of volunteers organized by a 29-year-old software engineer who quit his job to get Paul elected are expected to flood into Nevada for the Jan. 19 effort.

"I raised over $60,000 from 3,000 people, and that's the source of funding we've been using in New Hampshire," said Vijay Boyapati, who left his job with Google to build the organization. "We still have some money left over, and that's what we are going to use in Nevada."

First foray into politics

Lau is president of a Reno-based credit card processing business that handles millions of dollars of transactions for clients nationwide. But he said his true vocation is a stress management clinic for Iraqi war vets.

Lau said this is his first foray into federal campaign finance. He started by setting up a political nonprofit organization called Nevadans for America as a way to pool contributions for an independent campaign.

The nonprofit's name is listed on his billboards and television advertisements.

But he didn't want to deal with the FEC reporting requirements on PACs or political nonprofits, so he decided to spend only his own money, thinking that would free him from FEC rules.

He said he was surprised to learn the FEC also requires individuals who spend more than $10,000 in support or opposition of a candidate to publicly report their expenses within 48 hours.

Another quarterly report is required if expenses don't reach $10,000.

State fertile for donors

In the past, Nevada has attracted monied candidates who spend their fortunes on themselves and the state has long been a fertile ground for large-sum political donors.

But it's unusual for individuals to spend heavily on outside campaign activities, said Eric Herzik, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Reno and a Republican.

"Ron Paul is something of a phenomenon," he said. "The devotion is amazing."

But Herzik said they likely will end up disappointed in the end. While Paul has garnered devoted support, many of his views are still considered to be on the political fringe.

A devout Libertarian, Paul believes in ending the "welfare state," including Social Security, federally backed college loans and government spending on health care. He wants to end America's military deployments in Iraq and most other countries. And he wants to eliminate the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Board, returning America to the gold standard.

Most political observers give him little chance of succeeding.

"They are going to spend all this money, but they are going to be disillusioned," Herzik said. "This might sound cynical, but the system is bigger than one person."

Lau said his money won't be wasted, even if Paul doesn't win the nomination.

"If you look at it now, he's got an uphill battle because the powers that be are against him," Lau said. "But by putting his name out there, maybe people will start hearing his message. Even if he isn't elected, just the fact that people might wake up is worth it."

NAACP President says Ron is not racist

Here is an article I wound of the President of NAACP Linder talks with Alex Jones on his radio show. There is also a sound bite of the conversion between the two of them at the site listed at the end the article.

NAACP President: Ron Paul Is Not A Racist

Linder says Paul being smeared because he is a threat to the establishment

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Sunday, January 13, 2008

Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment.

Linder joined Alex Jones for two segments on his KLBJ Sunday show this evening, during which he commented on the controversy created by media hit pieces that attempted to tarnish Paul as a racist by making him culpable for decades old newsletter articles written by other people.

"Knowing Ron Paul's intent, I think he is trying to improve this country but I think also, when you talk about the Constitution and you constantly criticize the federal government versus state I think a lot of folks are going to misconstrue that....so I think it's very easy for folks who want to to take his position out of context and that's what I'm hearing," said Linder.

"Knowing Ron Paul and having talked to him, I think he's a very fair guy I just think that a lot of folks do not understand the Libertarian platform," he added.

Asked directly if Ron Paul was a racist, Linder responded "No I don't," adding that he had heard Ron Paul speak out about police repression of black communities and mandatory minimum sentences on many occasions.

Dr. Paul has also publicly praised Martin Luther King as his hero on many occasions spanning back 20 years.

"I've read Ron Paul's whole philosophy, I also understand what he's saying from a political standpoint and why people are attacking him," said Linder.

"If you scare the folks that have the money, they're going to attack you and they're going to take it out of context," he added.

"What he's saying is really really threatening the powers that be and that's what they fear," concluded the NAACP President.

New Hampshire Recount?

Many Ron Paul supporters on the internet were calling for a vote recount in New Hampshire claiming that not all the votes cast for Ron Paul were counted. Ron Paul has decided not to ask for a recount and instead keep the campaign focused on the goal of winning the Republican nomination. He is now in Nevada campaigning in hope to win the state’s caucus. Ron Paul believes that the reason for his low percentage of votes compared to the polling was because of the high voter turnout.

After a careful investigation, I have decided against seeking a recount in New Hampshire. I am confident that not asking for a recount is the right decision.

I carefully considered the arguments for and against a recount before instructing my campaign staff not to pursue it. Without a firm belief that vote fraud had taken place, and without the possibility that a recount would have increased the chances for success of our campaign, a recount would have diverted campaign resources, time, and energy away from crucial battles elsewhere.

We have taken concerns about vote fraud seriously. In Iowa, campaign volunteers carefully monitored the caucuses. Campaign staff placed Paul supporters in every precinct to watch and verify the voting and count. We had supporters phone in results from their precincts to a campaign hotline while others ensured that those numbers were reflected on the official display board at the Polk County Convention Center. The numbers our caucus watchers reported agreed with the official tally, and both results also aligned with the campaign’s internal polling. In relatively pro-Paul counties, our sampling pegged support at 11.5%. This is consistent with an overall 10% finish for the entire state.

In New Hampshire, while I would have hoped for a better result than eight percent, I am convinced that vote fraud played no role in this result. Rumors of vote fraud were investigated, and in the end they proved to be the result of errors in early media reports that were not reflected in the official numbers. In one notable case, when a campaign staff member contacted an individual who had on the evening of January 8 claimed that his vote had not been counted, the person said that he had made a mistake and that the next morning the error in reporting on a newspaper website had been corrected both in the media and -- most importantly -- in the official tally.

Many have expressed concerns that those ballots counted by machine yielded a 2% lower total than those counted by hand. However, machine counted vote totals were more than 2% lower for both John McCain and Mike Huckabee. Hand counted votes were more likely to be cast in rural areas. Results almost always vary between urban and rural areas.

My campaign staff and I have analyzed the numbers in New Hampshire and I have reached the conclusion that it was the high turnout -- not vote fraud or counting errors -- that left us with eight percent of the vote. Our total vote count of over 18,000 votes was well within what we projected given the efforts of our extensive statewide get-out-the-vote program, giving me no reason to believe that vote fraud played any role in the results of the Granite State's primary.

In both Iowa and New Hampshire there is much to be proud of. Taking both states together, I am honored that over 30,000 people cast their vote for me -- more than either Rudy Giuliani or Fred Thompson. Unlike many other candidates’ efforts, our campaign for freedom is growing and our message is spreading.

Now is the time to redouble our efforts. Our resources must be spent on the upcoming primaries and caucuses, and on ensuring that, with your help, we organize every state yet to vote with our Precinct Leaders program.

We can't win primaries and caucuses that have already happened -- but we can win those yet to come. To become the Republican presidential nominee, a candidate must have 1,191 delegates. Iowa, Wyoming and New Hampshire determined only 32 delegates, so we have much opportunity remaining.

Today, I ask you to join me in focusing on the battles ahead as we continue our fight for liberty and our Constitution.

Sincerely,

Ron Paul

Entertaining Ron Paul and Federal Reserve video

While browsing through youtube I came across this very entertaining and creative video of the Federal Reserve.

Ron Paul supporters never cease to amaze me with their enthusiasm and creativity! The Ron Paul campaign makes the others look utterly boring by comparison.

Martin Luther King money bomb

The next Ron Paul “money bomb” will be on January 21st in honour of Dr. Martin Luther King.

According to FreeAtLast2008.com, “Please join us this January 21st as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, by acting together to support Dr. Ron Paul, a new hero who fights for the same American principles of liberty and justice for all.”

"Just $10 (or more) from as many supporters as possible. Our goal is for hundreds of thousands of Ron Paul supporters to join together, in a show of strength to "fight the polls!"

"This is our day to blanket the streets with the message of liberty. Our goal is to make every city look like the Lincoln Memorial lawn of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech."

Ron Paul the True Republican

We had at least three of the “mainstream” candidates make totally irresponsible remarks about war. Huckabee with his gates of hell comment. Thompson with his virgins remark. And McCain and his corny ass jokes about burkas and one way tickets. These candidates sound like ignorant rednecks, not presidential leaders. Last night seemed like a contest to see who could sound the most ignorant with Ron Paul refusing to play. The questions aimed at Ron Paul about 9/11 conspiracy people and his electability were hostile and attempted to further alienate him from his party. Of course it comes as no surprise that Fox News continues to disrespect the only respectable Republican in the race. And let’s not leave out Mr. Romney who quipped to Paul, “You must be reading Ahmadinejad’s press releases.” Interestingly the crowd was often with Mr. Paul, applauding several times after his statements. Yet after the debate the focus group almost unanimously declared him the loser.

It’s hard to believe the American people are too stupid to see through all of this. If the Republicans continue to allow themselves to be controlled by neocons they will eventually disintegrate. While I disagree with Ron Paul on some issues, Dr. Paul deserves respect for being an intelligent conservative with consistent and logical principles. Neocons have NO principles. They have sold their souls to the devil and are under the illusion that they will forever be able to delude Americans with their shameless patriotic platitudes. They’ve been able to trick Christians into voting for them by making them believe Christ would only care about two issues: abortion and homosexuality. Well, I have faith that Christians are beginning to see this strategy and they will reject it.

Ron Paul's response to the electability question.

Ron Paul on Racism

Ron Paul speaks against the articles that people claim he wrote back in 1992 of him being racist. The magazine is published under his name so people assume that he wrote the article. The morning of the New Hampshire primary the magazine The New Republic printed this story to smear his name as voters head o the polls and with the Michigan and South Carolina primaries coming up shortly.

Here is a video of a Ron Paul supporter from Norway giving tips on how to win over support from Obama's supporters. His tips would be very useful to get the Obama supporters to vote for Ron Paul in Michigan primaries on January 15.

The Real Story, Touching the Third Rail


This is why we need to get Ron Paul elected, before the US debt and the currency gets out of control.

New Hampshire Primary Results

With 96 percent of the precincts now reporting in New Hampshire comes in fifth place once again with 8 percent of the vote. This time Giuliani finished ahead of Dr. Paul by a little more than 2,000 votes and with 9 percent of the vote. Ron Paul also beat Fred Thompson who received only 1 percent of the vote and was 1 of the 5 candidates allowed on the Fox Forum that excluded Ron Paul. Ron Paul supporters were hoping for another double-digit win with a second or third place finish

The next primary is Michigan on January 15. Michigan is also an open primary, allowing Democrats and independents to vote for a Republican candidate if they choose to. Ron Paul could see a better result here since Michigan was stripped of all of its Democrat delegates and half of its Republican delegates. With the Democrat primary being completely meaningless this year and with Barack Obama and John Edwards withdrawing from the ballot could cause some Democrats and independents to vote Republican. Ron Paul being the only Republican against the war could benefit from this.

New Hampshire Primary Results

37% McCain
32% Romney
11% Huckabee
9% Giuliani
8% Paul
1% Thompson
0% Hunter

McCain: 100 years in Iraq! Loss of votes in New Hampshire?

McCain is "ok" with us being in Iraq for 50 or even 100 years and wants us to be OK with this. People would call Ron Paul a "kook," but McCain is just out of his mind thinking that Americans are going to be safe with us over there that long. Could this mean that he could end up losing any support that he may have had from undecided and Independent voters? I sure hope so. This could end up being good for Ron Paul, he needs to take advantage of this and gain some more support. With only four days until the New Hampshire primary and the Wyoming Caucus later today, people need to start spreading word of this to help increase support heading into Super Tuesday. Spread the video around and share it with others.

Ron Paul on Bill Moyers Journal

Ron Paul talks to Bill Moyers about the war in Iraq, exclusion from Fox forum, domestic policies, ideas of the constitution, two party duopoly, and racism.

Ron Paul Iowa Caucus

Ron Paul pulled 10 percent of the votes for a strong fifth place finish trailing Thompson and McCain by 3 percentage points. Some may consider this a defeat, but I think this is a victory for many reasons. The first being that he finished ahead of Giuliani who received only 4 percent of the votes. Dr. Paul also received more Independent votes than any other Republican which is good news heading into the New Hampshire primary next week. The entrance polls in Iowa showed that 68 percent were satisfied or enthusiastic about the Bush Administration as well as 60 percent of the voters being Evangelical Christians. He had a lot againist him and had a solid finish.



Iowa Caucus Results

34.3% Huckabee
25.3% Romney
13.4% Thompson
