“I have received more emails than I can count from people around the world who write to say that they wish they could be American citizens in order to have the privilege of voting for ________

FILL IN THE BLANKS

We want to be a bridge between Belgium and the ----- campaign. Mainly to inform Belgium about ------ —we think Belgium has more to learn from ----- than ------ from Belgium—but also to show to ------ that when he becomes president and visits Belgium, there well be cheering crowds, not demonstrations!

He is a principled libertarian/classical liberal by political and economic philosophy. That is enough for him to have many new friends in India and Pakistan — both enormously large countries which are sorely in need of libertarian/classical liberal political and economic philosophy to develop themselves. Moreover, ------ advocates a non-interventionist American foreign policy in the world, and he was a principled opponent of the Iraq war from long before it started. That too is something that people in India and Pakistan appreciate. […]

Yes I hope so. Both McCain and Obama are terribly uninspiring and don't seem up to the challenge of straightening out this country's problems ---which get worse and worse by the week it seems!

I just wish more people would sign up on his site, and actually pay attention to what he has to say.

Bwahaha. The spin factor, eh. Not to be confused with the "no spin zone."

Ron Paul is all sizzle but no steak. I thought he would do a little bit better in the Republican nominations, but wow was he a nonfactor.

Granted Fox News screwed him over with their bag of tricks, but apart from that he was just an awful candidate.

He was an awful candidate because he isn't a media darling. He is not good looking, photogenic --- basically he is not a good actor. Plus, he doesn't kiss the partys azz and doesn't lie through his own.

Then why did he run as a republican in his congressional race. Because he wanted teh parties support and was wiling to kiss it to get there. Mst Texans in fact had never even heard of him before he annunced because he has always been a obsure congressman that has never done much really.His politics is right from the George Wallace book.

I've signed up on a number of sites. I tried to join the Meet-up Group here in Charleston, SC after the primary but they seemed to have shut down their office and did not return my call. It was kind of odd. But I sent in my donation to his regular campaign and plan to send in more and also to the DVDs4delegates people. I think sending the DVDs out to delegates and having a convention in St Paul the same time the Republican convention is.

I saw on YouTube that Bush might try to stop the elections in November. Do you think he'd do that? All the executive orders and all the bail outs and things that he's done behind our backs is pretty scary.

I think it is COOL that people in other countries feel the way they do about Ron Paul. I just hope we can make this happen and send HIM to office. What a MESSAGE it would send to the MEDIA! Kind of like "Who needs the media when people can get the truth other ways?" and all their cover-ups and pretending Ron Paul was not a viable candidate didn't accomplish what they wanted so that maybe from now on they should
just report the news and not try to ignore it since the people will find out about it anyway one way or another -- at least until 2012 when they try to destroy the internet and turn it into a cable service -- which will be our NEXT project we'll have to stop -- AFTER Ron Paul is elected President! How's THAT for a run-on sentence? LOL!

I think you may be in the minority with that viewpoint. In fact the people of the world like Ron Paul and probably know more about him than a lot of people in this forum!
