Alex Jones is a riot when he gets going. His analogies are good though.

I'm a little surprised with the IOWA governor taking this stance. A week or so ago on "Meet the Press" he was praising the work Ron Paul had done in Iowa and I thought he was about to endorse him.

Maybe the Republican machine paid him off which means we all should be concerned about ballot tampering.

They should have a couple of truly independent sources -- or maybe one for each candidate so that in the end, if the votes haven't been tampered with all the places where they were tallied should match each other.

This has to be one of the most persuasive pro-Paul articles I have ever read. Every Neo-Con and Neo-Lib should read it. It is in a free paper in IOWA which is in every lobby and every business all over IOWA. "Electability: Ron Paul Soundly Beats Obama for these 11 Reasons"

Electability: Ron Paul Soundly Defeats Obama for These 11 Reasons

These are good too: Ron Paul Personifies Iowa GOP Party Platform

Media Manipulation and Ron Paul

This was the largest turnout EVER for a candidate in this part of Iowa. Ron Paul got a standing ovation and rousing cheers. He talks about a lot of things I've never heard him say in this nearly hour long speech and answers a lot of the objections people say they have against him. For example he talks about isolationism vs non-interventionism. He says a lot of our current foreign policy is isolationist and explains why. He talks about the need for diplomacy. He explains how government growth got out of control and how we the people need to take our members of Congress to task for enabling it to continue. He talks about Martial Law and the loss of our freedoms and the NDAA. He talks about how and why a free society with a limited government is more prosperous. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

I heard by a substitute for Sean Hannity the other day that Romney was now in first place in Iowa. I guess they must have been basing that conclusion from a deceptive graphic Fox News was trying to pass off showing Mitt Romney in both first AND second place with Ron Paul left out. Fox News is RELENTLESS! They won't stop their flagrant brainwashing. Every other source has resigned to admitting he is in first place. This Wall Street Journal article is one example Paul's Positions Play Well in Iowa - WSJ.com

Or they could have been using this from Wednesday: 2012 Iowa Republican Caucus - Rasmussen Reports™

I think this one is more recent than that, is shows almost a three way tie, all within 1%: http://americanresearchgroup.com/pre...rimary/rep/ia/

People are afraid to do what is right and vote for what is right..because they think that the honest approach to citizenry will make them poor - but in the long run - voting for rich liars and hoping for a "trickle down effect" will also make you much more poor - it just takes longer..The only real trickle down effect that comes from the super rich is the trickle down of poverty to all..

The real people that keep the nation going are the common working person who is honest and dligent - all of those that put down the so-called lower classes and call them stupid or welfare parasites should realize one thing - It is the super artifically corporate rich that are on welfare not you! They do not create any real material wealth - the best they can do is suck in the poor population into joining the military to go off and steal from other and give the booty to their masters - I say it might be time to toss out those that are worth less and do not work and get some honest people in there...The transition will be slow but it has to be done...I am NOT talking about socialism......just old fashion honest captialism.

Emily, you are touching on a subject, voting, that has been so corrupted it's absolutely frightening. What a joke that Hillary dares to question Russia's election results. I stayed up til the wee hours watching a long video called 'hacking democracy'. It's about a grandmother that questioned the voting machines and the journey she took to start this activist website, blackboxvoting.org. We must not trust this system, it is full of holes. Please avail yourself of some of this information. Here they have broken up the long video I watched into 8 min. segments.

Quote:
For an election to be valid, the books have to balance. And for an election to be democratic, the public must be able to see and authenticate the following:

1) Who can vote (the voter list)
2) Who did vote (the participating voter list, which is later stored as the voter history)
3) Chain of custody
4) The count
If we don't start getting involved, and monitor this coming election, the naysayers are right, RP doesn't stand a chance.

I got a kick out of this account from someone that has been going door to door stumping for Ron Paul. Here were a few of the reactions:

<<<................Some of the comments from people were:
-Newt is a slime (that's one of my personal favorites
-You can't trust Romney or Newt
-You can't trust the news
-A vote for Romney or Gingrich is like voting for Obama
-If our financial situation doesn't change, we'll be a 3rd world country in no time (and that came from 3 different people, wow)
Now, keep in mind that I did not lead these people into comments, I simply offered a packet of Ron Paul info if they were interested! I even had one guy thank me for volunteering for Ron Paul! (which I take as high praise here in neoconville)......>>>
