Ron Paul is one man. It's naive to think he can change the corrupt American political system. Remember Obama ran on that and he got owned....face it the system is bigger than all of us. If you want real change than every American needs to wake up and eliminate the real perpetrators and the pawns (politicians) who more or less will just support the status quo. Change starts with the people and Americans are asleep right now. We need to take our country back...*wishful thinking*

AMAZING, isn't it. Voters think one man/woman can become POTUSA...and go in and make everyone line up and obey. NOT A CHANCE.

Pipe dream continues....

MTV's Aimee Allen, Ron Paul Anthem Music Video MUST SEE!! - YouTube

follow the constitution, break down illegal institutions.

otherwise, you will get more of these stories of america being robbed:

Fed May Inject Over $1 Trillion To Bail Out Europe


As first reported here, two weeks ago European banks saw the amount of USD-loans from the Fed, via the ECB's revised swap line, surge to over $50 billion - a total first hit in the aftermath of the Bear Stearns failure prompting us to ask "When is Lehman coming?" However, according to little noted prepared remarks by Anthony Sanders in his Friday testimony to the Congress Oversight Committee, "What the Euro Crisis Means for Taxpayers and the U.S. Economy, Pt. 1", we may have been optimistic, because the end result will be not when is Lehman coming, but when are the next two Lehmans coming, as according to Sanders, the relaunch of the Fed's swaps program may "get to the $1 trillion level, or perhaps even higher." As a reference, FX swap line usage peaked at $583 billion in the Lehman aftermath (see chart).

so a patriot is automatically called a doper by you-someone who is defending the constitution?

i suppose you would rather continue to see americans being robbed, and america being looted.
