Let Ron Paul Speak at the Republican National Convention

The GOP owes Paul

Reader Comments

Back to argument

Ron Paul remains a candidate and should be allowed to speak at the Republican Convention. He is a Republican who believes in Liberty. He has been called a Libertarian throughout the primary season although that is another party altogether. I have NEVER seen so much bias against a candidate. The news media would not give Congressman Paul fair coverage during the primaries because they are owned by Zionist corporations. It is time to end all the wars that we the U.S. have started for our own interest and STOP policing the world. Government should be smaller and STOP inventing new laws every year that infringe on American Liberties. The Federal Reserve should have transparency, as a Democracy we have a right to know where our money is being spent and why the value of our dollar is being destroyed. All foreign aid should be suspended as we can no longer afford it. All entitlements should be for citizens only and all abuse of these resources should be stopped immediately. Congressman Paul has valid ideas that if enacted could SAVE our country from bankrupcy, we can only fund what we can afford. Imagine if everyone thought our forefathers were crazy when they were writing the CONSTITUTION to protect our civil rights! A great Republican Convention should include debates and difference of opinions. If the RNC is so convinced Romney is the peoples candidate then they should respect that the delegates will vote for him and not force them to do so. Our Democracy is at stake! Ron Paul had bigger rallies with more attendance than any other candidate but yet he was defeated by voter fraud. Every American should be concerned and offended by this! Ron Paul should run as a Independent because he will be blamed for a Republican loss either way. He can get Democrats, Republican, Libertarian and Independent voters that are tired of these special interest wars. We must balance our budget and pay back our National debt to get back to being a prosperous country. China will never forgive our debt and would love to see our dollar become worthless and then how could we ever pay off this debt. May God Bless America!

There is no longer any validity to the voting process in the United States.I am so dissapointed in the way that RP has run his campaigne.From the beginning of the Primaries,it was clear that there was blatent voter fraud and the fact that RP after realizing this did not run as an Independent was strong evidence that he never really wanted to be President after all!What a waste of his supporters hard earned money!In 08 RP claimed that he could not run as an Independent because he would be letting his congressional base down,what about the rest of his dissolusioned supporters? Fool me once,shame on you,fool me twice ,shame on me"and the rest of RP supporters"!

Ron Paul will speak at the RNC and it will not be a speech coming form the RNC. It will be his speech.

Here is proof. Ron Paul come out Tuesday and said he would not except the nomination if nominated from the floor. He cut a deal with the Republican GOP to not except the nomination if he could have his speech. They excepted. Then they moved the nomination process up to Monday. They want to get Romney gift wrapped before RP gives that speech. Other wise they know he could end up with the nomination if the nominations took place after his speech. They the Republican GOP are complete crooks to the core. I am a Republican and I never want to hear anyone refer to the Democrats as the best crooks. Hell we out shine them on our worst day.

Love Ron Paul. Support Ron Paul and support our soldiers. Protect them from the neo-con war profiteers and the neo-con delusion of "policeman to the world."

That is a peculiar way of putting it but yes, a person would actually have to be a "commie rat fink" as you say to prevent Ron Paul from speaking.

Jasper Lee Jones of GA 12:51PM August 22, 2012

Only a commie rat fink would stop Ron Paul from speaking at the RNC! Think about it, you would have to be a commie rat fink!

We certainly don't need any commie rat finks in the Republican party!

Albert Landers III of FL 12:47PM August 22, 2012

Of course he should be speaking!!! total GOP farce if he does not speak. The whole world has been watching the whole undemocratic sham of a process against Ron Paul......... For a major player in the world America has one backward back water election process and have no place promoting global democracy and an election system process if your own is anything to go by ...... If one cant believe in the election process in a democratic country then why should anyone believe anything that spews from that counties mouth..... Total disgrace thus far!!! ... Hopefully the GOP redeam themselves and wake up

I'm a Ron Paul supporter and I cannot see any reason to support Republicans. They are not advocates for me and issues that are important to me such as sound money and banking, militarism, the growing police state (patriot act, NDAA) and attacks on internet freedom, but they want to silence my voice. I see no reason to participate in this farcical exercise.
