In a lot of ways, this seems way too good to be true. It's like I'm just waiting for the punchline to come and smack me in the head. When was the last time anyone credible was put into office or has even run for office for that matter?

Anyways, maybe you're right, but it's hard to get around expecting the same ol' thing again no matter what we do.

My internet has been down for 2 days so I have had to watch CNN/Fox to have a clue as to what is going on in the world. I have been so disgusted the last 2 days, I have been screaming at my TV in Frustration and I am in shock (once again) at the absolute lies and cover ups that our media shoves down our throats.
CNN has not even mentioned RP's name, not even once today, not even to say he will lose. Nothing!!!
Fox had a college reporter corespondent who mentiond Obama and Paul has the "youth" nominee other than that no mention. Even when Pauls name was mentioned by the corespondent, the fox reporter only asked questions about Obama.
Even the visuals they keep throwing up, not one picture of RP. And on the flip side of the coin Kucinich has completely and totally disappeared.
Even if polls are correct and Paul was doomed, the man raised 21 million dollars this quarter and beat some records, shouldnt he at the very least be mentioned on the day of the Iowa caucus. So now according to CNN and Fox the race is down to Romney/Huckabee and Obama/Clinton. Whatever!
This and the economy depresses (and scares) the hell out of me.

I have a few questions:

When was the last time ANY Presidential candidate kept
the promises they made in a campaign ???

Why is that ??

Maybe cuz no matter what a prez wants to do, congress
still has to approve it. So if RP gets elected and wants to
make sweeping changes, he still has to get congress' approval
to do it. So even if RP is elected, that may not mean anything
different but being a puppet for congress. In order to make
any major changes, congress is gonna have to change as well.
Since the majority of congress is democrat and RP is a Rep, then
RP is gonna meet resistance with his policies. That is a fact !!!
He may have good ideas and intentions, but he's gonna need
cooperation to make them work. He can't do it alone.

It's disgusting what the MSM has done with Paul and his supporters. Time after time he has won grassroot polls and wins again and again when it comes to responsed to polls after debates. The powers that be don't want him and he won't win. I live where I can't even vote in primaries until May. My vote never has and never will count. All primaries and caucuses on the same day, just like presidential elections!

Wow...im glad SB is banned...she was ridiculous...But i seriously despise MSM and what there doing to the RP campaign. Its blatant that they dont want him getting elected....

I guess there is no surprise about the above post but I am so mad right now, I just have to vent.
What is wrong with our country? Never mind, the list would make me more depressed.
Everyone needs to go look at the links in the post above this one.
To recap Dr. Paul came in 2nd (19%)in exit polls from NBC but NO mention of the amazing results. Headlines still about Romney vs. Huckabee.
I am so angry

I just saw that on CNN as well. It's early in this election people. Forget the caucii, people are going to start realizing that Ron Paul has been about the economy from the start and they're going to begin to listen. Go Ron!

CNN now says Paul and McCain are tied for second place at 12%. And the CBS local channel just said McCain 13%, RP 11%.

Edited to update: local CBS channel, with 36% Rep. results in, RP tied with McCain now at 12%. On the Dem side, CNN says Obama is in front by 2%, but local channel reporting Clinton in front by 5%.

So how quickly do you think the riots will start once Hilary gets 'elected' ??

We could think of this from a few perspectives ..

Voter fraud with Bush
Media control
.... you think for one second that they won't 'control' more than just Bushs election and the tv/news/movies?

I fully want Ron Paul to win, I'm not even freakin' from the United States (I'm from Canada) and I 'think' he will *IF* you are able to actually vote and vote properly.

Be very careful around voting stations, on the look out for individuals trained in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) lots of people could be walking in voting for one person but walking out having voted for someone totally different.

There are so many ways for things to turn sour, and it seems like there's only one way for things to maybe change positively...

1:20 pm and my mother just got home from the Democratic caucus. Local channels and CNN just called the Dem for Clinton, which surprised my mother because she just said there were more than double the people for Obama than Clinton at her caucus.

Edit to add: RP is now in 2nd place by 15 votes.

Ron paul just took over 2nd with 3286 at 13% over Mccain at 3273 at 12%
(fox news)
Go Ron !!!

On a side note,... I wonder if our local conspiracy master John Lear made it to the caucus since he lives in Las Vegas?

Maybe I'll slip on over to his forum and ask him, ya know,... to get a first hand account of the caucus atmosphere.

seriously though, how 'fair' is it to have bush/clinton/bush/clinton ... ??? to me it just seems the US is getting out of hand...
How Demoncratic can things be ??

I wonder how this planet became so crazy?

Things I pray for:
Elections in 2008 will be legit
Ron Paul runs on independent ticket so 2 party system is shattered
Ron Paul runs with Kucinich on independent ticket
Paul/Kucinich win by a landslide and records are broken
Paul/Kucinich then start the long and hard process of rebuilding our once great country
Bush/Cheney are convicted of war crimes
We find Laura Bush and set her free (where is she?)
The media gets convicted of fraud and sent to Siberia

That America will once again be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
