Let's make it happen America!
Right, but he can't put this nation right, all by himself. We need to elect others that will support his principles, even if he is not there to implement them. We have let this nation go to hell, it is up to us to set a new direction, based upon Ron Pauls guidance.

Until you people actually put into words why you don't agree with his idealogy and policies and why you feel that the candidate you support would be a better fit for America, than there is no point in having a discussion. Although I feel we may be doomed anyway as there are way to many Americans that think like you.

Keep electing the Status-Quo and expecting different results though. What's that called again? Oh right, insanity.

I wrote a song about this called "Complacent insanity" ... Here are the lyrics, i believe they are appropriate.


Quote:
The things they talk about... We dont want to know. We dont care whats happening. Were all the same, our lives are plain. They try to warn us all about where not to go... Were not listening, were all the same our lives are vain.... *Chorus* They say wake up, dont go to sleep. The sky is falling the water is getting deep. Can you hear us, are we getting through. You can still change, its up to you. *end chorus* Everyone is running around ... We want to see a show! Its OKAY! Thats what we think. Because were insane, our lives are vain. They say its the end of the world, that cant be so! But if the worlds about to sink, were not to blame 'cause were insane. *Chorus* They say wake up, dont go to sleep. Your souls are dying , your lives on the brink. Can you hear us, are we getting through? You can find the way. Its up to you...*end chorus*
You can listen to the song and some of my others here ... Jamie Peay a.k.a. Word to the Wise, Citizen of ACIDplanet.com

This is his 3rd and probably last time running. He's been rejected over and over.
Yes I know the people from his fan site will continue to flood and manipulate the online polls.

Even now that the majority of Americans have internet access, and they are not just getting their info from the "Big Bad Establishment Media"
it seems he is still being rejected.


Thank God.

This feeling is mutual on both sides. Even my far left sociology professor once said he favored the government being run by political scientists, not voters since voters don't know what they want or anything

I've been saying it's either Newt or Paul, well I've changed my mind. I just watched an interview with Newt, and he is much more of a war hawk than I thought. Now Ron Paul is the only one that I can vote for. I am so disappointed in Newt wanting to hurt the Iranian people with even more sanctions, to take out their refinery's, and force regime change. He also said we, the U.S., are so much more powerful than Israel, suggesting we will do their fighting for them. I can't get behind any of that.
Those of us demanding an end to war, are in the minority. I wonder if the liberals would side with us, when there is a Republican in office.

You're the one in denial of how strong his following is.

Bubble is when the price doesn't match the value, the price is inflated, for whatever reason, and eventually will burst, leading to deterioration of investment. This is a natural correction, good or bad. Ron Paul says, let the market correct itself, it won't be pleasant, but it will be faster than chasing our tail.
That's what I got out of the definitions, in my own words.
