Back to argument

The neo-cons have corrupted the Republican Party process and cheated Republicans of the chance for debate and to influence the direction of their party. Time to change their nickname to "neo-coms" as they use the same tricks that Stalin did to distort democracy. Below is Stalin's favorite quote:

'It's Not the People Who Vote that Count; It's the People Who Count the Votes'

I am a Ron Paul supporter. I guess it would be nice for him to speak at the convention, but what difference would it really make? The movement will continue to grow regardless. Rience Priebus and his gang of GOP thugs would only censor the speech anyway. The message of liberty and respect for the Constitution is offensive to the old guard party hacks. Romney will lose in November and we will continue to take over the Party from within.

I am a Life Long Republican. And I Support Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, But We Need To continue The Fight with works and Prayer to our Heavenly Father! The LORD knows we need HIS Protective Blessings Upon Us because of the Tyrannical Progressive Global Dictatorship Elitist That have gained control over our government, through the FED and U.N. to propitiate their total control, while ushering in their New World Order. This places our military unconstitutionally around the world while the regime of the Worlds Military War Complex continues to make profits under the guise of spreading democracy around the world. We are supposed to have and live within the means of our Constitutional Republic NOT a Democracy! This Constitutional Republic that George Washington Pledged a Convenient With GOD on the first day of His Presidency, That we as individuals and as a Nation Should Proclaim GOD as Our First and Foremost Father of Our Republic and Abide By the Divinely Inspirations of GOD, thusly written in to law as The Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence of The United States of America. And we as a Nation should never faultier from doing so or we shall fall out of favor with the LORD! Please review: Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America's Future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMEbwaDJ3hg This is why we need a Constitutional Conservative as President to help return to The Foundation of GOD! We need Congressman Dr. RON PAUL for President in 2012 AD to help us fight to Restore Our Constitution! He is the only one running that will help remove all of the Tyrannical Dictatorship pawn's in our public offices, but we still need your help to WAKE UP AMERICA to help Congressman Dr. RON PAUL to help save our Republic. I’m searching for like minded Patriots that want to make corrections to our government by Return to The Original Foundation of our Founding Fathers, To Save Our Republic! We have a long way to go and a short time to get there. So I implore you and your friends or organization to serious review http://www.ronpaul2012.com/ and make an educated decision this election year and vote for Ron Paul for President! Because this is what is in store for us all of we don’t work together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXx-G2glq3E&feature=player_embedded

Take Care and GOD BLESS!

Congressman Dr. Ron Paul has earned the right to be on the ballet in Tampa, He has earned the right to speak in Tampa, debate Mitt Romney for the GOP National Republican Nomination and be the keynote speaker. GOP, what are you so scared of? Maybe, Ron Paul Saving Our Constitutional Republic, Our Liberties and Our Country!

Michael Harris of TX 1:20AM August 22, 2012

Ron Paul got exactly what he wanted out this Presidential run. His major issue (Audit the Fed) will be part of the GOP Platform, his son is getting a major speaking slot at the RNC, and there are many Liberty Candidates that will win House and Senate seats this year. This is why the Paul campaign is making the concessions with the RNC regarding the seating of delegates.

I expect to see an endorsement from Ron Paul coming over the next few days.

Bravo, Mr. Doherty!

Spot on, Brian... fantastic article.

If we don't get our insane monetary policy, foreign policy and domestic policies under control, we're quite likely going to face an economic/monetary collapse that will make the last several years seem like a nice walk in the park.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that is addressing the REAL issues, while the others are talking about a balanced budget in 28 years and all the other political nonsense that's good for grabbing headlines but really don't add up to a hill of beans.

The GOP keeps doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Being the minority party in this nation with only 28% of the voting electorate, they made a big mistake. They have given Obama 4 more years.

When Obama gets re-elected, the Elephants will turn into Woolly Mammoths. Extinct.
