Your Weekly Ron Paul Fix

The news continues to get better for Ron Paul. Not only did he best Mitt Romney's previous one-day fundraising record but it now appears he may be on track to bring in more money this quarter than all of the other Republican candidates.

This has to be one of the craziest Presidential Primaries I can ever remember. Aside from a never-before seen battle for the top of the Democratic heap between

a Clinton and Obama - woman and an African-American, Republicans have Huckabee who has consistently ranked at the bottom in fundraising but who leads the field in Iowa and possibly nationally.  Now Republicans have Paul poised to raise the most money while struggling to break double-digits in an any poll.  Maybe Ron Paul does have what it takes.

A Paul Administration


Ron Paul has what it takes. The real question is do the American people?

Oh Whatever


Ron Paul, who is a huge kook, by the way, is an internet phantom. I have never met a single real Paul supporter, but THANKS TO people who are internet type people he appears to be a force.
Where is his Nevada campaign office? Where are his rallys? Phone calls? Ads? Canvassers? Nope. Nothing.Nada.

All we get are random, yet large numbers of quickly little internet posts (like the one above)pledging support. I don't believe the hype.

By the way, Paul is going to split the GOP apart and ensure a Dem victory in Nevada and nationwide
so...GO RON GO!

Ron Paul


Zeke is highly delusional and obviously is intimidated by reality in truth, thus supporting a New World Order. Ron Paul came in second place in the Nevada caucus today. He has more substance than any other candidate. All other leading candidates for the presidential race are members of the CFR, thus all of these other individuals will continue to spiral America into a Fascist/Elitist/Neocon nation, taking away our founding fathers beliefs in individual freedoms, human rights and personal securities. Zeke believes everything FOX & CNN tell him, supporting the propaganda machine and the military industrial complex. Shame on you. Ron Paul has real patriotic American support, including being supported as a candidate by past and present military personel more than any other candidate. Now why is that Zeke? Research the facts...stifle your ignorance.

Sheeples of America


Ron Paul does have what it takes ztowns85, and your right about asking the question "do the America people". In large, they don't, because of false beliefs in Politics, Religion, and the meaning of being a free American. They have been brainwashed for decades with false propaganda from Corporate Media and Advertising, becomming deaf and blind to the truths going on around them. They really believe that we have good Government overall, and that swill like Bush & Cheney have our true best interest at heart. LIES. This current Iraq war is nothing less than greed and power based for the elite, and three words describe it: "BLOOD FOR OIL". "Poor kids fighting a rich man's war". It sickens me. Most Americans have become sheeple, mere weak pathetic sheep following wolves to thier own demise. Google & Research CFR, Bohemian Grove, Trilateral Commission,"Fema camps, NAU, Bilderburgs, Zionism, Police State, Martial Law, New World Order, etc. Check out prisonplanet.com, truthnow.com, infowars.com, globalresearch.ca, and hundreds of other truth sites, NOT conspiracy theorist bullshit sites but real critical information on today's realities. It will shock you at first, and you begin to awaken, wondering why you have been asleep all your life. 'Wake up America'. You are being lied to.

Why is Ron Paul hated?


What is it about Ron Paul that the Establishment finds so disturbing?

This is a man who perhaps personifies Christian character and integrity, American patriotism, and family values more than any other public figure. Ron Paul is a committed family man whose marriage to Carol has lasted for more than 50 years. He is a lover of families and children. As an OB/GYN physician, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies into this world. His life demonstrates a commitment to life and marriage.

Furthermore, Ron Paul's devotion to Christ is very personal and deep. Unlike many politicians (especially in the Republican Party), Ron Paul does not wear his religion on his sleeve. He doesn't need to. Anyone who knows him knows his faith is exhibited on a daily basis. His life and family are testaments to his Christian faith.

Beyond that, Ron Paul's record in Congress is so unblemished, so honest, so full of integrity that it is difficult to describe. This is a man who actually takes his oath to the Constitution (an oath every congressman, senator, and President also takes--but then ignores) seriously. So much so that he has never voted to raise taxes, never voted for an unbalanced budget, never voted for a congressional pay raise, never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership, and never voted to increase the power of the executive branch of the federal government.

In addition, Ron Paul has never taken a government-paid junket. Even though he is a 10-term congressman, he is not accepting a government pension. He also returns a portion of his office budget every year to the taxpayers. No wonder Ron Paul was declared to be the "Taxpayer's Best Friend."

Now, how in the name of common sense can a man such as Ron Paul be hated? Maybe it is because he is a man of integrity and honesty. Remember, our Lord said that men who love darkness hate the light. And if there is a word that describes the Establishment in America today, it is DARKNESS.

Name it: the establishment Democrat and Republican Parties, the establishment media, the establishment financial institutions, and even the establishment churches all seem to be run by people who exude the power of darkness. It should not surprise us, therefore, when a man arises who personifies the light of integrity and honesty, that the powers that be should hate him--and hate Ron Paul they do.

Conservative Republican Ron Paul is loathed as much by members of his own party as he is by liberal Democrats. Even though he is the epitome of a Christian gentleman, Ron Paul is despised by Christians and pastors as much as he is by pagans--maybe more. The media despises him--especially Fox News. The so-called conservative Fox News celebrity Sean Hannity practically goes ballistic at the mere mention of Dr. Paul's name.

Ron Paul has been categorized with the Ku Klux Klan, brothel owners, and Skin Heads. He has been called practically every name in the book. Conservatives and liberals alike rail against Dr. Paul in a manner never seen before in modern politics. Again, why does the Establishment hate him so much? I'll tell you why.

The Establishment hates Ron Paul because his honesty and integrity expose the rest of them for the moral reprobates they are. Their own conscience cannot bear the sight of him. His very presence condemns them. Their personal greed and ambition cringe at the very thought of Ron Paul. If Dr. Paul became President, the Gig would be up! It would be Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday at Tombstone all over again. They know it, and they will fight like mad to keep their corrupt stranglehold on American politics.

Another reason the Establishment hates Ron Paul is because he is a true American--and there are not very many true Americans left in Washington, D.C., these days. You see, Ron Paul has read and studied American history. He understands constitutional government. He knows what real money is--and is not. As historian and author Thomas DiLorenzo said, Ron Paul is a modern-day Thomas Jefferson. (See his column at: http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo137.html )

Unfortunately, most of what we have in Washington, D.C., these days (in both parties) is a bunch of internationalists who cannot see past their own selfish interests. They are consumed with greed and power. They are slaves to Big Business and special interest groups. They are petty, shallow hirelings who care nothing for constitutional government, the principles of liberty, or the American people. To them, Ron Paul represents everything they hate: limited government, freedom, selflessness, humility, and integrity.

Furthermore, Ron Paul is not interested in creating a world empire. Neither is he a warmonger. He would squash the burgeoning New World Order in its tracks--and the globalists ensconced in Washington and New York City know it.

There is only one Presidential candidate who would bring a modern-day revolution to Washington, D.C., and it is not Barack Obama or Mike Huckabee. It is Ron Paul. Obama and Huckabee--along with the rest of the Democrat and Republican contenders--are only more of the same. The same Nanny State, the same unconstitutional laws and regulations, the same advances toward global government, the same attacks against individual liberties, the same arrogance, the same hypocrisy, the same social programs, the same back-breaking taxes, the same jack-booted federal police tactics, the same IRS, the same lobbyists, and the same corrupt Washington politics.

That the Establishment would hate Ron Paul should not surprise us. It does not even surprise me that many pastors and Christians despise Ron Paul. (After all, many of them still worship at the altar of George W. Bush.) What is yet to be seen is, How will the American people receive him? His strong showing in Iowa surprised most of the "experts." I believe he will do even better in New Hampshire today. How Dr. Paul's campaign fares in future primaries is still to be seen.

Should Ron Paul fail in his bid to become the Republican Party's Presidential nominee, I believe it is critically important that he continue his bid as a Third Party candidate. His campaign is more than a campaign--it is a movement. People by the thousands and money by the millions is pouring in, and it will continue to pour in all the way to the general election. It is essential that Ron Paul stays in the race all the way to November.

Remember, when Abraham Lincoln won in 1860, there were four strong Presidential candidates, and Lincoln won with just 39% of the popular vote. With New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seriously considering an independent bid for the White House, and if Ron Paul, likewise, runs as a Third Party candidate, 2008 could see another race with four strong Presidential contenders. In such a case, anything is possible--including a Ron Paul victory.

The fact is, Ron Paul does not need the support of the Establishment to win. With God's help--and with the help of millions of fed-up and tireless average Joes--anything is possible. Anything.

Here is another thing: the fact that the Establishment hates Ron Paul so much must mean that there is ample reason for ordinary people like you and me to love him!

I’m left wondering what these guys were smoking not to see that Ron Paul did indeed LOSE in New Hampshire. As if a recount is going to change anything. What a waste of $55,600.
