I recently tried to question a topic of obama's platform, and rather then giving me any kind of answer at all, I got spammed with this thing about 'obama camp', which stated that if I even participate in it I would be required to be some kind of field organizer and then eventually promoted to governmental status with his supporters. Doesn't this remind anyone of how Hitler worked? Or did i suck at history?

I posted a comment over a half an hour ago. I have refreshed my page every few minutes and still have not seen it posted, yet there has not been any others posted either. What is the deal, does this site only post the comments they want people to see, kindof like they are saying that the media is doing also with not showing Ron Paul in the running?

I have yet to see a government official really STAND UP for the suffering, INNOCENT!!, FLDS mothers, children and YES, FATHERS!! This country is as weak as it's weakest link--and that is the CPS situation. When Constitutional rights can be trampled on like they have been and there is NOTHING said by government officials to stop this outrageous persecution, insure Constitutional rights to EVERY AMERICAN EVEN THE FLDS and other victims of this entity of the government!, correct the imorality in government, media and entertainment so that we can be one nation UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!! We have yet to see a modern day President with REAL backbone, one that will have his word be worth his life! It seems that Ronald Reagan was the last of the Honest Presidents.

With all due respect for Ron Paul, here are some other things to consider. Paul is not a republican, he is a libertarian. He runs a libertarian platform, his stand on the different issues are libertarian, and his supporters are libertarian. Paul is a republican merely in name only.

He was (previous to his election) an MD. And although he may claim to be for health care freedom, he is still an MD, with MD-biases. His issue stand has not been for other health care professions (i.e., naturopathic medicine)

If you were to ask a Paul supporter who they were to support if Paul were NOT running, you would be surprised! Is it another republican? I think not!

eauboy you are absolutely right,my friends and family are doing just that-writing Ron Paul's name in.That way the only way they can ignore our votes is to physically throw our ballots away and that can be allot more difficult to do,but only if you have paper ballots.If you don't vote with paper ballots then I guess you can't write anybody in,how convenient.No paper trail either,nice,very nice. Germanjam has a point I understand in regards to these fraudulent elections.I too feel frustrated about these fraudulent elections,but we can't just roll over and let these villains get away with stealing our elections all the time.I would suggest instead to get involved with and volunteer some time to your local polling place,at least you protect your own local vote totals.If more and more people did this we would have more and more legitimate elections.It is frustrating though to continue to see vote fraud gotten away with.

Kent Wayne Snyder, 49, died on June 26, 2008 after being hospitalized for two months; cause of death was viral pneumonia. Mr. Snyder was the chairman of the Ron Paul for president election effort. He is credited with single handedly convincing Mr. Paul to run for president.

His obit can be found here:

I am from the UK but really identify with Ron Paul's message. I have tried to spread the word to my american friends. I converted quite a few of my american friends to Ron Paul. I hope the movement or some would call revolution continues long into the future and is ultimately successful.

What percentage of the voting population and the MSM watching population uses the Internet and YouTube ? Me thinks there are many voters that will never view a YouTube video or do a Google search.

Mr. Day's analysis indicates that the Google using (YouTube watching ?) population is strongly affected by MSM. Internet users are not universally "smart" - the ones that that see through the MSM smoke to find the truth of Ron Paul and his positions. Everyone is affected by MSM.

Just thought I would mention that John McCain has already procured the Republican nomination. The period of "running" for the nomination is over and John McCain is the nominee.

I'm not against McCain, but I believe, that with all these events in the world happening these recent years, that the end is not so far away.

The nations are arming themselves for war, lots of disasters are happening, the world seems to be going corrupt and falling apart, but as the same time, they are crying out for peace.

The Bible says, "For when they shall say, 'Peace and safely!' then sudden destruction comes upon them" (1 Thess. 5:3)

1Thess. 5:1-3 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that i write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them."

The question for each one of us is, in what have I put my trust and security in? In things that fade away, such as money, materialistic things, education? Not that these things are bad in themselves, but have we found the true peace? Peace in our hearts? Have we put our trust in what endures: on faith in God?

Ron Paul hits many valid and hot button issues, but if he were elected he would dismantle the whole field of regulation that surrounds the medical field, and although this regulation may currently, and especially under the current administration, be dysfunctional, it is there because without any controls widespread abuses have occurred.

Also Ron Paul may encourage better medical science, but he would completely dismantle any semblance of government sponsored medical care, and leave it all to individuals. The only sources of medical care available are large medical providers, and the bargaining power between individuals and these corporate monsters is not equal or fair.

His Libertarian views appear to be egalitarian, but in fact would benefit the rich and powerful to the detriment of all others.

Wait a second here.

Being popular as an internet search topic does not mean that someone is popular as a candidate. Being interested in information about a candidate does not mean that someone is going to vote for them. People may have used that information to decide not to support him.

It does say that the internet media is not showing the same interest in reporting on Ron Paul as people who use the internet seem to have. That’s all.

It does not say anything about his popularity with eligible voters in general.

Making illogical and unsupported assertions like that can undermine an otherwise good cause.

I think it's time to walk away from the system altogether. It is simply not designed to take on capable managers like Ron Paul. And when someone with a conscience does sneak up on the Pathocrats-in-Power and catch them offguard by actually implementing a program FOR the people, he or she is quickly snuffed out. Witness Kennedy. By all means, let us try and change all things, including our decaying system of democracy. But for your psychological and emotional health, if nothing else, don't pin all your hopes on one donkey, so to speak. Ron Paul is either wonderfully courageous or hopelessly ignorant if he is truly unawares of the psychopathic nature of the beast we're up against.

Turn to your neighbour, turn to your family - not necessarily within the same locality - we all have bonds with others over limitless geographical areas. And study about the disease of conscience - psychopathy. Share what you learn with others. Learn from others. Do the right thing in your day, no matter how a small or huge a deal it is.

Ron Paul wants to dismantle public education.
