I find it odd that a lot of Republican candidates (Democrats too!) have started using his original voice of less government, less spending (less social support programs), lower taxes, and increase in free market. I remembered at the beginning when all the candidates were against all this and said so publicly but as Ron Paul got more grassroot support, the candidates started to change their rhetoric. At the very least, he has gotten them to acknowledge that we need this. Now, if only he can convince them of getting rid of the Federal Reserve, IRS, and change in foreign policy. It will be a long road but at least we are taking the first steps. That's why I would like to send my congrats to Ron Paul for leading the battle.

I can almost 100% guarantee you that if you hear something from a candidate that sounds like Ron Paul, it is show and will NEVER happen.

If you like his ideas, get him into office. That is the only way it is going to happen.

People want change, I think after all this is said and done. We will see a clean house. Its all about change! If the fed cut the rates the numbers will grow even larger.

Good luck with that.

The only way Paul is going to get into the oval office is to sneak in with the tour and hide out there overnight.

Of course I am voting for him. I understand the roots of the problems in this country and I want a CURE. Only he has the true plan to combat the problems and not empty rhetorics the candidates have been saying. At least they are telling America the real problems, albeit only superficially

We need to cut the Federal Reserve from ourselves and say goodbye to China.

Whatever that meant, I hope a few days of rest will help and you can be up and about to enjoy the weekend.

Or, alternatively, we could cut out the Chinese food and reserve a table at the Federal for a good-bye lunch.
