Our country has lost it's sense of what is right and what is wrong. Our lack of good moral leadership has ruined the greatest country in the world.
Dr. Paul will restore freedom, liberty and peace by setting a good moral example for our country and for the world.
As Americans, we are obilgated to at least TRY.
Let it not be said we did nothing.

I view John McCain as an extention of the Bush administration. I want no more of that! It's been a stressful, deadly and deceitful 8 years and I cringe at the thought of things continuing down this same road.
REAL change would come to us with the good Dr. Ron Paul.
I'm more than ready for some Liberty, Prosperity and PEACE!
McCain is not a true Republican. People don't want home land spending cuts, they want cuts from overseas spending.
If the best change we can get is another party, a Democrat, then so be it.. anything is better than another neo brand fake Republican.

If you look at another similar war-hero turned politician (Randy "Duke" Cunningham) and how his political career came to an end through shady dealings, it would not be surprising to see how many skeletons John McCain has in his closet.
Regardless of how wealthy his trophy wife may be, McCain somehow managed to acquire a small fortune from being a politician; something that would be difficult to do for a person with no supposed business interests other than being a United States Senator. Hmmmm!
There are more skeletons than a closet can hold for John McCain ! This guy is another Randy "Duke" Cunningham who hasn't been caught !

Real Republicans, of which Ron Paul is one, want a government that does more than deliver the mail. We just don't want a government that fights trillion dollar foreign wars, gives out a seemingly endless entitlements, diminishes our individual rights, and pays for it by borrowing money and manipulating our currency into worthlessness. Any rational voter who has these facts explained to him a clear manner usually agrees that our government has gone too far, gotten too big, and should be put on a better leash by its citizens. It's too bad that yellow journalists such as yourself see fit to be a tool of the status quo instead of an instrument of truth. It's no wonder you're on the internet, somehow I doubt anyone would spend money on paper to print your feckless editorial.

John is in Big trouble in Nevada. The delegates elected all Ron Paul representatives with the exception of the GOP party hacks. You should have seen the faces of the leader when they saw the standing ovation Dr. Paul got.
He spoke after Romney. All Mitt talked about was keeping me safe. Protecting me from Evil. The Guy is wacked. The camel drivers do not have a Navy, Air Force or Army. Hell we use 500,000 missiles to kill three guys with AKs. Now how long can we afford to do this?
Ron Paul is the GOP's future the party leadership saw this in Nevada when a record setting State Convention of 1347 Delegates got on their feet to applaud his claim that FREEDOM and LIBERTY are more important to Americans, than killing Hajjies with million dollar bullets.
Bring the troops home! Bring the Bases home! Pay Americans to protect our borders, and pay american tax payer back for supporting our bases by placing those bases and all their spending back in the states they were exported from in the 1980's.
Vote Ron Paul
PS. Since the January Caucus in Nevada ROn Pauls' popularity has grown by a factor of 4.

Juan McAmnesty is a criminal. He has broken his own (admittedly wrong) campaign finance law that was crafted in conjunction with his buddies the Democrats! I do not agree 100% with Ron Paul's policies, but his voting record is very consistent. He speaks honestly and openly about his policy positions, not in political crapweasel doublespeak. Also, what so many folks fail to realize, is that Congress has most of the power, not the President. So, even if elected, Paul's policies will be slow to fruition, if in fact he has much influence at all. I would expect to see a lot of vetoes, however. I find nothing wrong with forcing congress to marshall a two-thirds majority to pass any new laws. A law passed by overriding a presidential veto is much more "the will of the people" than a crappy 51-49 law that half the representatives can't get behind. Think about folks.

We are 2-30 year voting Republicans, not Libertarians, but strong voting supporters of Ron Paul, state delegate who supports national Ron Paul delegates to the Republican convention.
Any by the way the United States Postal service is not a governmental agency as indicated by your story.
McCain's policies are wind driven and subject to the days weather report. Ron Paul’s has 30 years of consistent voting and policy history.
As for the political pendants, they are as clueless as the national GOP. Come November the GOP is getting their lunch handed to them. We Republicans are NOT I do repeat for clarification NOT voting for McCain.

I personally think he will get trounced by billary or obama. He is alienating the right, and he has nothing to offer the middles or slight lefts to come over to his side. Oh then there is that other factor. The 1 million and growing revolutionaries who support Ron Paul now, but may jump to the libertarian or constitution party candidate should Dr Paul make good on his word and not run 3rd party. It would be hard to put an exact figure on it, but through reading countless comments on blogs and other news sites that allow comments, Many of his supporters are people who voted republican in the past, including myself. Add to this that McCain will be getting soundly beat up all summer long and even more may shift thier support to somone who better represents the people. Some proof that the tide may be turning already is the fact the 9 ron paul endorsed republicans have won congressional primaries against neo-cons and the like. America is slowly waking up.
