If Ron Paul wins the Presidency or even the Republican nomination it would be a tremendous victory for average citizens.

Why?

It would signal the end of the worlds greatest democracitc people being led to the polls based on rhetoric and media manipulation. It would signal the end of the two parties being able to throw money at a candidates campaign to get him elected. It would signal the beginning of US citizens reacting to the real issues instead of sound bite campaign slogans.

However, there is also plenty to fear. The Republican Party and the news media will not take being marginilized by meer voters lightly. They are already seeking ways to de-legitimize the Iowa caucus because they dared to not vote for the media and party chosen ones - solidly bucking the status quo. Remember their delegates do not have to nominate whoever gets the popular vote.

A vote for Ron Paul in either the 2012 Republican primary or Presidential election is not just a vote for his political platform. It is a vote that says to the establishment, TPTB, the elites, illuminati or whatever you choose to call them that we the people still count and we will stand up and be heard. It is a vote that our founding fathers got it right in making 3 equal branches of government ultimately accountable to the people. It is a vote that we are not sheep, that we cannot be bought or brainwashed into voting for another schill for big government, big business, big banks, Wall Street and big entitlements.

A vote for Ron Paul is a statement that your vote is equal to a $30,000 a plate dinner, a million dollar campagn contribution, a sweet heart real estate deal or a bit of insider trading information.

It's a vote for Democracy and freedom and a return to our status as the most responsosible respectful nation in the history of the world.

Just look at it.

Look at how many people are opening their heart and seeking to stand up for what America is supposed to be all about.

People have judged us wrongly.

We are a sleeping giant. We are finally awakening.
And we are pissed off.

Are you serious? Forgive my ignorance, as i am not an American. I would vote for Mr Paul as he is the only truthful man in politics i have ever seen in any country. Again, sorry for my ignorance.

On the other hand, is it possible for the votes to be rigged, as an example, to be put in Romney's favour?

Would you please elaborate...and let me know...what are some of "everything he wants to introduce..." that will not get him elected?

The same people voting Dr. Paul in,will be voting Congress out IE;Recalling, if they dont go along with his agenda or policys.Those that vote for Ron Paul better understand thats whats going to have to happen for real change. The establishment will not go down lightly.If they wont change policys,they will have to go,PERIOD. The opposition to Ron Paul is ever so great,especially in the Republican Party. There once was a time the Republicans were closer to Libertarians.I believe that is coming around full circle.

Do you really think capitalist bourgeois politics would really end if he did become president? He may be a doctor but he can't cure the ills of the capitalist system.

I tend to agree.

Yes, I believe there is strong evidence elections have been and are manipulated, BUT vote anyway, why?

Because while elections are manipulated, I don't think they go beyond pushing a certain percentage because beyond that they run the risk of getting caught.

If people would just make up their mind to vote for Ron Paul regardless of others comments on or opinions he would win, it's that simple. But it would take a serious effort.

I like Ron Paul, I think he's the best choice for now, but I don't like all his stance on many social policies, but I could live with him for four years and I suspect he would tackle what we all want regarding the Federal Reserve and immigration before putting SS on the chopping block etc.
