If Ron Paul does not get the nomination, will you support whoever does?

This is the question many neo-cons and Republican party hacks have been asking lately.

The simple answer is no. The only person I and many if not all of my fellow Ron Paul supporters will vote for, is Ron Paul. I highly Doubt Paul would support Romney, he's not a party hack and he knows how much credibility he would loose if he did such a thing. Paul stands by his principles, he's done this for 3 decades so I don't think he would start towing the party line now. Republican is not better than Democrat, Freedom is better than tyranny, so supporting Romney in any way would be akin to giving your jailer a rope and asking him to tie you up and hang you. Romney is not for small government, he is not for fiscal responsibility and he is not for free markets, he's a crony capitalist and a statist, pure and simple. He's proven this with his past legislative actions. Paul on the other hand has proven that he will stand, alone if necessary, for what is right.

Some Christians like to say that it's not important what a person does when people are watching, but what they do when no one is looking. Flip that in reverse. Paul has stood alone so many times when everybody was looking. He did the right thing when so many where doing the wrong thing. He's stood for our rights, our freedoms and the U.S. Constitution, when others were poking fingers at him, and making jokes about the Constitution being "outdated" and "obsolete". He’s the only one who understands non-interventionism and proper use of the U.S. Military. He doesn’t believe in any foreign aid, while others pander for votes by giving money away like we can just print more. (Oh wait, they can)… Ron Paul should be the natural choice for TEA Party minded people, but instead, their judgment has been clouded by so many other issues that have nothing do with anything and in some cases, fly’s right in the face of what they claim to believe. Ron Paul would be Obama's worst nightmare in a general election, because anti-war and civil liberties, liberals would take a good hard look at Paul and realize he might be the real deal. But go ahead and choose Romney because the, (“R”) after all is more important…

How could I vote for anyone else? I can't.

Cheers,

Mike

Ron Paul in Champaign, IL on 3-14-2012

HR347 Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011

Ron Paul, Justin Amash and Paul Broun of GA are the only three who voted against HR347

HR347 which Passed Monday essentially makes into the law the ability of the Federal Government to prevent protests of any kind in the presence of the President, the VP and anyone them deem worthy of SS protection. Want to hold a protest rally against the POTUS, guess what, you can now be sent to jail for 10 years.

Have a nice day.

Only Ron Paul's plan will actually reduce the Debt!!!

They used to say you can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. I think it ought to be changed to, You can fool most of the people most of the time.

U.S Budget Watch recently released a report showing that the Debt will increase under Romney’s, Gingrich’s, and Santorum’s tax plans. The Report shows that only Ron Paul's plan will actually reduce the deficit. Today Rush Limbaugh told his audience to ignore this report because the non-partisan group is schill for the Obama administration. How low with the establishment go in order to stop Ron Paul?

Click here to see the report that shows only Ron Paul's plan will actually reduce debt.

Who is unelectable? Pushing Santorum or Gingrich is a joke.

The war goes on, Newt Gingrich beating Romney in South Carolina is actually a great thing for the Ron Paul campaign. The delegates are getting split which means it'll be difficult for Romney, or anyone to get enough, which could result in a brokered convention. Santorum and Gingrich both have little money or organization to continue much farther and probably won't even be on ballot in all the states. Gingrich is missing from the ballot in 2 states and Santorum will likely be missing from 4 state ballots or 565 delegates worth. This is a two man marathon between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

Ron Paul has grassroots support in many states, so South Carolina and Florida won't hurt his campaign much at all. He will be in the race all the way to the convention and hopefully steal the nomination right from under Mr. Perma-smile when his people realize they cannot win without Paul's support.

Iowa Delegates

The Huffington Post and Fox are saying that Ron Paul is shut out of delegates with 13 going to Romney and 12 to Santorum, but the truth is NO DELEGATES have gone to anyone. The Iowa system is complicated. Here is how the delegates are selected.

Precinct caucuses will elect delegates on March 10th's county conventions, which in turn will elect (from their pools of delegate-attendees) delegates to congressional-district conventions and the June 16th state GOP convention, which will in turn elect Iowa’s delegates to the Republican National Convention.
Most importantly, perhaps, Votes for county-convention delegates aren’t too competitive on caucus night, and more attention is paid to national-delegate selection at the later convention votes.

Iowa will eventually elect delegates to the Republican Convention, but only a small percentage of the total 2,286 or 1.2%. And even these are “unbound” delegates, which means they can change their allegiance when they get Tampa in August.

To the best of my knowledge and research, this is how the Iowa system works. I know I wanted to get to the bottom of it, I'm sure some of you did as well.

Spread the real Ron Paul

Is Michelle Bachmann a small Government Constitutionalist?

Is Michelle Bachmann a small Government Constitutionalist?

I've been hearing people say Michelle Bachmann is a Constitutionalist and it makes me cringe a little. Sure Michelle Bachmann might say the right things at times but does she vote that way? Does she have the Constitutional fortitude of Ron Paul?

H.R.3159 Ensuring Military Readiness Through Stability and Predictability Deployment Policy Act of 2007.
Michelle Bachmann voted against beleagured soldiers while Ron Paul votes yes.

H.R.1255 Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2011: Bachmann, yes. Paul, no

A Bill that would Prohibit TSA from using full-body image scanners as "mandatory or primary" screening devices: Look what Bachmann and West just voted against: Amash/Chaffetz Amendment 2 to H R 207, which prohibits TSA from using full-body image scanners as "mandatory or primary" screening devices. In other words, they can be used only as an option during secondary screening. The amendment failed.
Bachmann voted no, Paul voted yes.

Ten percent across-the-board cut to the Department of Homeland Security's budget: Rokita of IN Amendment 1 to H R 2017 The bill reduces DHS spending only to FY 2009 levels. It failed 110-312. Bachmann voted no, Ron Paul voted yes!

Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007 - Expands the types of whistleblower disclosures protected from personnel reprisals to include disclosures without restriction as to time, place, form, motive, context, forum, or prior disclosures made to any person by an employee or applicant for employment, including a disclosure made in the ordinary course of an employee's duties, that the employee or applicant reasonably believes is a violation of any law. Backman voted no, Paul voted yes.

H.Con.Res.28 Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from Afghanistan
Bachmann voted no, Paul voted yes.

Bachman votes for Internet Censorship: H.R.4279 and H.R.4061 Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2009, Sponsored by John Conyers, (D-MI)
Bachmann voted yes, Paul Voted no.

Bachman voted for almost unlimited Presidential war powers while Ron Paul voted no.

And let's not forget the icing on the cake. The TEA Party Caucus leader Michelle Bachmann voted for the Patriot Act, legislation that takes our freedom and throws it out the window.

Is she really a Constitutionalist?

Mike

I support Ron Paul's Foreign Policy

I support Ron Paul's Foreign Policy



I keep hearing people say Ron Paul has great Domestic Foreign Policy but his Foreign Policy scares me, or it's Buffoon like. Well I want everyone to know I support Ron Paul BECAUSE of his Foreign Policy.

Modern Morals of the average Ron Paul hater

There once was a time when we learned that it was not right to go around punching and hitting people, especially if the only reason was name calling and chiding.  Many parents teach their kids to defend themselves but only when someone hits them first.    
 
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.

Today it's being re-written.

Sticks and Stones may break me bones, but provocative words are worse.

The new moral of the story, attack anyone who uses words you don't agree with. Especially if they threaten someone else. You need not wait for them to attack you directly.

Can you imagine?

Mother - Billy, why did you punch Bobby in the nose? 

Son - Mom, Bobby was going to hit Kyle first.

Mother - Bobby was going to hit Kyle, but he didn't actually hit Kyle?

Son - Yup. That's what I learned from watching Fox News. It's ok to attack someone if they were going to attack your friend first.

Mother - Oh, that makes perfect sense....

Really???

Is this the new lesson we are going to teach our children?  

Herman Cain Mailer

Ron Paul Wins Ohio!!!

Don't let the media choose the GOP nominee!

Over the weekend the Ohio GOP organization held it's state wide straw poll.   

Complete results

Ron Paul 53.50%
Herman Cain 25.47%
Mitt Romney 8.88%

Everyone else had 5% or less.

Do you support the Troops? Support Ron Paul, because they do

When active duty military soldiers reach into their own pockets to help support a Presidential Candidate Pre-Primary, who do they support?  Overwhelmingly they support Ron Paul.  Yes, the man who many claim is un-American, the man who they say doesn't support our troops, has once again received the most Campaign contributions for the 3rd quarter from active duty servicemen.  Also, he raised 2 to 1 support over President Obama, who raised a total less then in the 2nd quarter.  Not only has Ron Paul received the most campaign contributions but he alone has raised more money so far than Barrack Obama and ALL the Republican Candidates COMBINED, from Active Duty Military.    

Of course a little over $100,000 isn't enough to win the election, and it's a far cry from the nearly $36 Million that Mitt Romney has raised.  But when you decide who to support for President in 2012 are you going to choose a candidate supported by big money or a man who is favored by the good men and women who risk their lives defending freedom across the world.  No matter how you feel about the foreign wars or whether you agree with Ron Paul on everything he stands for, don't you think the soldiers choice should matter more than the big money influences that propel RINO's like Mitt Romney and Rick Perry to front runner status?  

I do, and I plan to support Ron Paul for the GOP nomination.

If you support the troops, I ask you to support the candidate who the troops support.

Support Ron Paul

Who really won the Florida GOP Debate?

Who really won the Google / Fox News Florida GOP Debate?

Where is the online poll Fox News posted last night? Ron Paul was winning by over 5000 votes when I went to bed and now this morning the poll is gone, as in it's removed from the internet and Fox is running a story on how Mitt Romney won last night???? Fox went out of their way to advertise how interactive this debate was going to be and when they don't like the interactive results, they simply erased them and ran their own. Yes Fox News removed the online poll showing a Ron Paul winning by a huge margin.

Good job Fox News, you proved you can play the game just as well as any of the left-wing networks.

PEOPLE, do not believe the Media, not even Fox News....

Cheers,

Tonights Florida GOP Debate

In a nutshell it was more of the same. The Fox news folks tried to frame the contest between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney but the answers given by both of those knuckleheads were nothing more than the same old rehearsed lines with a few zingers aimed at each other. Really it was exciting... Really.

I'm a little confused about Herman Cain. Where did the strong Fair Tax Cain go? Now Cain has his own, new 9-9-9 plan, and the Libertarian-Republican Garry Johnson is all of sudden the Fair Tax. I'm not sure what that's all about but it's interesting.

I like Newt Gingrich's comments about buying Greek Bonds and going down together. I also thought all the candidates had excellent answers to the question about how to fix the education system. We do need to abolish the Department of education and give more choice to the parents. The answer is clearly not to simply spend more money.

Ron Paul's rebuttal to his earlier answer in regards to money fleeing the U.S. was spectacular. He received much applause and I think he really helped clarify his position. Sadly, it was only the third time he was allowed to speak. Each time Ron Paul speaks however, I believe more people really begin to see where he stands.

I think Michelle Bachmann really hurt herself when she went out of her way to counter Gary Johnson's comments about flights to Cuba. Apparently Bachmann is scared of Cuban terrorists while John Huntsman is trying really hard to sound more like a libertarian. Rick Santorum is still trying his best to appeal to the social conservatives. His answer in response the gay soldier was actually quiet good. I agree with him, sexual relations have no place in the military, straight, gay or otherwise.

Rick Perry keeps taking more rope to hang himself with on the Gardisil vaccine issue. His answer tonight including a new twist about a women who lobbied him on the issue. Does this help him or hurt him? Do Americans want a President who will make such a statist decision due to a persuasive woman's lobbying skills.

Gary Johnson received the largest applause of the night with his "Shovel Ready" stab at President Obama. When asked to choose a VP from the candidates on the stage there where some very clever and politically smart answers but the best of all was Mitt Romney, who said, anyone on the stage would make a better president than what we currently have. I guess that means Mitt Romney just gave an official endorsement of legitimacy Ron Paul's campaign.

Why are so many people against Ron Paul?

Michelle Bachmann supported Big Labor before she was against it.

In 2007 Michelle Bachmann not only voted for, but she co-sponsored a bill supported by then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to essentially force unionization of public sector public saftey workers. The bill H.R. 980 known as the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2007 can found here.

Michele Bachmann has disavowed her 2007 sponsorship of a bill granting collective-bargaining rights to firefighters and police officers. A spokesperson Alice Stewart said she signed onto the bill because she was given "bad information" and has since reversed her position. So wait a minute, she didn't read and understand the bill? That doesn't sound very TEA Party does it? Ron Paul on the other hand, voted NO.

Dissecting the Ames Straw Poll Results

This years results from Ames are intriguing very intriguing. People like Mark Levin still refer to Ron Paul as a loon. On Friday Levin says there is no groundswell of support for Ron Paul even though his activists try to create the illusion of support in these straw polls. That's some illusion.

Ron Paul received 4671 votes in Iowa. That's 1% less than the winner or 152 votes less to be exact. That's fewer votes than the 217 that were unaccounted for, but I'm not going to get into the conspiracy side of it. Rather I'd like to focus on the huge gap between Ron Paul "the loon" and the rest of the field. In Iowa, interventionism still runs fairly high. Levin and war Mongers like him will have you believe that Ron Pauls opinions from Thursday's debate are crazy. If they are crazy, why did so many Iowians vote for Paul on Saturday?

The Gap between Paul and the rest is huge. Ron Paul received more than twice the votes of the third place finisher Tim Pawlenty. He received 3 times the votes of 4th and 5th place finishers Rick Santorum and Herman Cain. If you look at the above graph it looks like Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann were in a different competition that the rest of the field. Newt Gingrich who scored some points last Thursday only received 385 votes. Mitt Romney "The Media's Front Runner" only received 567 votes. Mitt of course left Iowa after the Debate and did not attend the Straw Poll, but I personally don't think this effects the results as many Iowians go to Ames to vote, not decide who to vote for.

If people in the heart of the Midwest feel this strongly about Liberty I hope the rest of the nation takes notice. Only time will tell but until then I continue to support Ron Paul in his run. Good luck Doctor, you have my vote.

Cheers,

Mike

New Hampshire GOP Debate

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that the CNN debate in New Hampshire was setup to diminish the star factor of several of the candidates while making a couple in particular look much more Presidential. The day after buzz seems to also be favorable to the TEA Party influence on the candidates. I noticed several of the Candidates have adjusted themselves to sound more liberty minded with a few answers almost sounding like they were taken directly from Ron Paul's past speeches. Michelle Bachman obviously prepped well, I almost wonder if she didn't have the questions in advance. I also couldn't help but notice that Ron Paul's issues were greatly avoided, with exception to his standard position on military action and troop withdrawal. CNN is actually reporting Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachman as the biggest winners last night, even though they posted an online mobile poll which Ron Paul won with 79% of the vote.

Weird.

Cheers,

Mike
