&lt;p&gt;He may be a little unusual, but he's no revolutionary that I would follow. &amp;nbsp;Renounce earmarks, Ron.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;# He has never voted to raise taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He has never voted to raise congressional pay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He has never taken a government-paid junket.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He voted against the Patriot Act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He voted against regulating the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He voted against the Iraq war right from the start.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# Ron Paul is a 10 term representative of Congress from Texas’s 14th district.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Compare that with EVERY other candidate across ALL party platforms and you'll quickly&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;see why Ron Paul support is exploding all over.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Read 'Debunking 9/11 Debunking' by Dr. David Ray Griffin&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read about the conflicts, contradictions and 3 timelines/versions of events given by the military. &amp;nbsp;Read about the pancake theory then the 'sagging inward' theory. &amp;nbsp;Then read about the UL test performed, which was twice as long and twice as hot and only sagged 3&amp;quot; but the model used figures that illustrated sagging of 42&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;I kid you not. &amp;nbsp;Then read about the conflicts of interest in the 9/11 Commission itself and the TONS of omitted testimony eg. 503 firefighters, whistleblowers, war game exercies, 8/6/01 PDB, 2.3 trillion missing from Pentagon, and on and on and on. &amp;nbsp;Were the &amp;quot;terrorists&amp;quot; devout, fanatical Muslims? &amp;nbsp;Nope, not according to witnesses in Venice Beach, Florida; interviewed in:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Guess it depends on what you choose to believe. &amp;nbsp;Some people are programmed to automatically denounce anything other than the unprovable official conspiracy theory. &amp;nbsp;Don't trust me, test me.......or listen to Bush Co. and go back to sleep.....&lt;/p&gt;

An honest man with real virtuous intentions to help this nation and it's people,.. and strictly for the well being of it's people. ...This is a very rare thing to see someone of such caliber and honesty, not only running for President,.. but in fact getting as much attention as he in fact is. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With that stated, .. I am sorry to have to say,.. I do feel that my sense is that the hidden power structure that is controlling things in this country and the world,.. will never allow a man such as Ron&amp;nbsp;Paul to get into office. In my opinion, freedom became nothing more than an illusory ideal quite some time ago in this country. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would say that nothing short of a revolution is going to create the possibility of establishing the true Republic which the founding fathers had intended. The present power structure in the world is much too powerful and intent on moving forward with it's agenda for the world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In my opinion, the only thing that the Bush administration has done for the American people, has been to blatantly expose the fact of an extremely arrogant, elite power element that is willing to implement whatever destructive actions it deems neccessary to promote it's agenda for national and world control,.. and that power element is represented by both the Democrat and Republic parties. To believe otherwise is, in my opinion, to be extremely nieve and uninformed.&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10928" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
