I will come out and say it I am a Ron Paul supporter. I never voluntarily gave a politician money before and this year I have given hundreds. I have voted in every election since I turned 18, yes there are elections every year. I was never registered with any political party and I changed my party affiliation to Republican so I could vote in the Primary on super Tuesday.
Why would I do all of this? I have done this because I have never heard of a truthful politician and that is what I see in Ron Paul. Why do I believe he is a truthful politician? He has morals and principle that anyone could see. Ron takes firm stands on issues and will defend those positions. Ask a question to Ron and he will give you a direct answer no beating around the bush and normally he will give you his reasons for that answer. What politician actually answers questions? I would bet if you could think of any they could be counted on one hand.
Ron Paul's campaign is different as anyone could see. He has grassroots support, and that support is very dedicated and passionate. I should know I met some in my area and from what I can tell is the same all over the country.
I am tired of reading every news article and a lot of the news agencies blogs that praise the Ron Paul campaign and then slip in something like "we all know he can't win". Here is a little message to all those news agencies. "We don't know he can't win, I know there is a possibility of him not winning but there is also a possibility of him winning because of people like me". I will say as long as someone is in the middle of a campaign there is a possibility of winning there may be different levels of probability. If I am reading a news story give me the facts, editorials, opinions, and blogs say what you want.

Republican Youtube Debate 11-28-07
In the first part of the debate when McCain came out he gave a creepy hug to the guy that was introducing him.
The first video that was shown was the funny guy singing. I was entertained by that video and actually watched it a couple days before.
Mitt and Rudy did a little back and forth about sanctuary cities and Rudy said Romney employed illegal immigrants.
Tancrado talked about stopping immigration, Hunter brought up the stupid border fence which Penn & Teller's Bullshit showed could be scaled dug under and cut through in a matter of minutes.
Huckabee talked about giving people taxpayer funded college education.
Romney fought with Huckabee
Ron Paul's 1st question was about the North American Union and conspiracy theories. Ron answered that he does not believe in the conspiracy theory but does recognize that money has been spent and about how some power that was being sent to the UN.
McCain called Ron Paul a isolationist. Ron responded with the record that he gets more contributions from active military.
A question was asked about a pledge to cut taxes and Dr. Paul's response was that he has never voted for a tax increase but you also need to reduce spending.
Gulliani doesn't want to cut corn subsidies. He also said that NYC was safer because he enforced gun laws aggressively.
McCain, Romney, Gulliani all do not own a firearm.
Ron Paul was asked a question about abortion and he said that it should be up to the states and he thinks that the person committing the abortion should be punished but it should be up to the states and the individuals in the community.
Huckabee tried to say that putting someone to death was different then a abortion death. He also said he believes every word of the bible.
McCain brought up the phrase that "if we leave they will follow us home" and attacked Ron Paul about his promise that he will bring the troops home. Ron countered with the example after the US left Vietnam.
Huckabee said he wants to expand the space program. I wonder how he expects to pay for that? I would guess stealing money from you and me through taxation.
Ron Paul was asked a question if he would seek a independent canidicy. Ron actually spun the question a little bit but cited that he did nothing to raise the 4.3 million dollars in one day and that there is a revolution going on and people were tired about the way the country is heading.
I also think that Ron's campaign video was the best out of the 8. Thompson submitted a attack ad against Romney and Huckabee.

Republican Debate 10-21
I was watching the Republican debate and during Huckabee's first answer he said that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergy and according to the radicalacademy.com two of the signers were clergy and one was a active clergy member. 3 out of 56 is not most it is not even close.
Ron Paul pointed out that he is the truly anti-war candidate in either party. Ron also said he wanted to allow people to get out of the social security system and I would love to do that. I am in my late 20's and I know there won't be a social security when I get old enough to retire that is why I have a personal retirement account.
Romney said he is happy for the medical plan he created in Massachusetts. I was hearing a radio station from Mass and Hunter actually hit on the health care mandates that the plan. The mandates are that you have to have health care in Mass you are forced to do that even if you cant afford to pay for it.
Rudy made me vomit when he said "I care about the kids" then made me think if he does care about the kids where are his children from some of the things I have read his children don't even like him. Maybe Rudy just wants to replace his own kids.
McCain said he is against wasteful spending but if he was wouldn't he have voted against the spending? The only person that was on that stage who votes consistently against wasteful spending is Dr. No aka Ron Paul
Fred Thompson reminds me of a chicken going after feed.
I was trying to keep a tally of how many time each person got to speak and here is the results
Mitt "cowlick" Romney 9
Rudy "cell phone" Gulliani 8
Fred "I got a hot wife now" Thompson 8
John "war stories" McCain 7
Ron "Constitution" Paul 6
Mike "National Smoking ban" Huckabee 6
Tom "don't call me Tommy" Tancredo 4
Duncan "I but a wall" Hunter 4
I would think since no one in the Republican party is a running away they would want to try and be fair and balanced but who would think of a thing like that on Fox.

The 3rd Republican debate
OK I know I am a little late on this but hey I was in the hospital without my computer and Internet access. I was going though Internet withdrawal after the 1st night.
On to my thoughts. The winner of the debate was Ron Paul and that is not just a opinion but is what CNN's online poll said hands down. That poll does not mean anything really the only poll that means anything is on election day.
Dr Paul introduced himself as a congressman from Texas and "Champion of the Constitution" when I heard that tag line I was really shocked. But as I thought about it Ron is that in essence. During the debate I was disgusted with the camera work. The sound issues were understandable with the lightning that was going on but I am sure they could have used different mics and eliminated the sound dropping issue. OK enough with the technical stuff I think I would have noticed it less if I had a PC in front of me.
The best issue I thought that was brought up was what the question about what is the largest moral issue that is facing the United States and Dr Paul said it was the recently policy of preemptive war. I think preemptive war really isn't a new policy. You could definitely say Vietnam was a preemptive war and so was Korea. So that goes back to the 1950's. WWII was a little harder but the Japanese attack could because of the trade blockade and that blockade could be considered a military action. So that could be considered preemptive war that takes us back to 1940's. We could go further but that would take a lot of typing. But I do think that is a great answer to the question.
I would suggest if you have not seen the debate go watch and make up your own mind.

2nd republican presidential debate
Ok First off I think I was tripping I heard Brownback say we need to cherish all life but he supports to keep the war in Iraq going which results in deaths of both American soldiers and Iraqi people every day. He needs to stick with a principle and say with it you cant support a principle when you think it suits you.
I would have to say Ron Paul was definitely the most exciting candidate and no one can say he is just a carbon copy of the rest of the candidates. Ron was very candid he pointed out the real reason why the 9/11 hijackers targeted the United States. In case you missed it was because we have been fucking around with their countries for years and we still are. If the United States has a army which I think is unconstitutional except for 2 year stints but that is for another day. Also during the question about the hypothetical question about the terrorist attack I have to give props to Ron for pointing out the rest of the people on that stage wants to take away your rights or other if it does good for the collective.

GOP Debate - 08
Disclaimer - I am not a republican, I am not a democrat, nor affiliated with any other political party!!
Now to my thoughts. I was watching the GOP debate last night because it was commercial free and I was playing a computer game and wanted something to listen to. After the debate finally got started and Chris Mathews stopped explaining the rules to the audience. I got the feeling that all the people on the stage wanted to distance themselves from the current president.
The first time I stopped playing my game was when Congressman Ron Paul spoke for the first time he was asked about his vote against the Iraq war which was a inaccurate question because no matter how many times people say we are at war congress never declared war and congress has not declared war since WWII. Ron Paul got my attention and kept it for the entire time he was speaking actually when he finished his answer I was clapping my hands. Ron's answer to the question was straight to the point and displayed his thought process.
Some of my feelings from the other candidates is that McCain is a warmonger and Mathews gave him too much leeway and more questions then the other candidates. Huckabee has a face like Nixon but none of Nixon's charisma. The rest of the lineup seemed like they were all clones and they did not impress me at all and some made me ill.
I think Ron Paul was given a softball with the question asking if he would eliminate the IRS. Ron took that softball and hit it out of the park. Getting rid of the IRS is a issue that will resonate with every American and who wants to fill out the forms before April 15th. Ron said multiple times he is not in favor of the Iraq war and that the foreign policy needs to be changed. The US is not the police of the world and the US should not be.
The abortion item is a issue I personally do not have feelings about this has been my stance since I heard about the topic. I think I have no say what goes on in another person's body and I would like the same respect. I can see the argument from both sides but as I look at the issues that come up with the war on drugs I see what happens when the government prohibits something but I think if people in a town do not want abortions going on in their town they can make a law that says that but the people of the town will have to bear the responsibility. From what I have been able to find Ron Paul would not make a law prohibiting it but leave the decision up to the community as the 10th amendment says.
