I agree with what you're saying, but I wish I had looked at the date of the poll before I brought it up, since it is no longer meaningful.

Though I believe Ron Paul is the most sincerest, genuine and incorruptible candidate who believes strong in his principles and follows them to a fault, I cannot see him winning the Republican nomination which is a complete shame. Guaranteed the Republican National Convention will be rigged by voters that favor another candidate like Mitt Romney. That's what I think. Republican leaders don't like Ron Paul. He's not part of the inner circle of elitist Republicans that will ensure the maintenance of the monetary and political power. In fact he is against groups controlling the free market, skewing the free market in their favor. This whole party system is just a large business ensuring maximum profit by masquerading as representatives of the people when in fact they are representatives of big money. They can't balance both, serving the interested of the people majority while serving the interests of big money minority. Following the Law of Self-Interest, they will side with those that ensure them the best life. The poor people majority will not do that, but the rich will which means we're screwed. This is why Ron Paul will not be nominated especially by the Republicans. He might have a chance if he was Democratic except he wants to take down the Fed which is a big NO-NO!

In the corrupt political and economic system that exists today, people like Ron Paul, rare and few, are not electable even though the majority of people would vote for them.

If we the people really want change, we should change the electoral system to the popular vote, put it online and get rid of politicians: www.abovetopsecret.com...

posts like the one you just made are a dime a dozen
every so often someone feels they need to repeat what's been repeated a million times already in the hopes that people will think "oh what a brilliant post"

If Ron Paul isn't elected as the nominee, then we must write him in and BEAT the Republican nominee (While still losing to Obama I'm sure) just to show the GOP that their failure to choose RON PAUL was their failure to take the whitehouse.

I, for one, think it is hilarious that Romney loses to a black guy, given how racist Mormons have been in the past. Not that I really think that much of either party.

Federal Records Show Romney Campaign Is Bought And Paid For By Big Banks. I will be writing in Ron Paul’s name if I must.

I think it may hurt, but a return to pre 30's America is the reward! The law must be accountable to the people! It is a touchy subject, but the medical marijuana laws highlight the problem of an all powerful federal government that trumps the will of the people etc...


Supporting Ron is all about freedom, or at the least the hope there of.

President Bush used "signing statements" hundreds of times to vitiate the meaning of statutes passed by Congress. In effect, Bush was vetoing the bills he signs into law by asserting unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to bypass or set aside the laws he signs. For example, Bush asserted that he had the power to ignore the McCain amendment against torture, to ignore the law that requires a warrant to spy on Americans, to ignore the prohibition against indefinite detention without charges or trial, and to ignore the Geneva Conventions to which the US is signatory.

The New Deal resulted in Congress delegating its legislative powers to the executive branch. Today when Congress passes a statute it is little more than an authorization for an executive agency to make the law by writing the regulations that implement it.

Prior to the New Deal, legislation was tightly written to minimize any executive branch interpretation. Only in this way can law be accountable to the people. If the executive branch that enforces the law also writes the law, "all legislative powers" are no longer vested in elected representatives in Congress. The Constitution is violated, and the separation of powers is breached.

It does not really matter under what pretext this all took place. What matter is that it elevated our president above the law, and although unlikely this is how every dictatorship in history has come to pass. Worst of all we are open to more of the same from any future president! If you can trump one right you can trump them all!

RON PAUL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO WOULD RIGHT THESE WRONGS AND RESTORE AMERICA!

In a system of free states we may well start to see real reform. Well maybe, the states themselves may be even more corrupt, and see the people in the dirt anyhow! I know my state bows to the will of special interest! It has become impossible to distinguish between elected officials and concentrated capital in this country.

Maybe it is time to design a truly free system, and the tools to ensure it remains incorruptible! A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for liberty albeit possibly misguided.

I dont think anyone really wants to see Grandma starving in the street, or an end to the systems we have in place to prevent extreme poverty. Rather we just dont think it is the Federal Goverments place to provide these services. We have had 7 decades of Imperial Presidencies etc...

Well... no Republican has ever won the White House without wining Ohio... this is a good sign!

For the first time in my life I have registered as a republican, so I can vote for Ron in the primaries! I suggest everyone do the same!

If he loses the ticket I will write in his name! A wasted vote is better than supporting these Facists!
