Ron Paul Money Ball

On December 31st, Won Paw Wadio (that’s us) is hosting a New Year’s Eve party and fundraiser to close out Q4 with another HUGE day of donations to the campaign. 12/31 is the LAST BIG DAY of 2007… the LAST BIG DAY before the first primaries. Let’s make New Year’s the single biggest political fundraising day in history! We’ll provide the news, guests, and tunes to keep the party going all the way into 2008.

Should Ron Paul Return 'That' Donation?

I mean not the one the neocons are libeling about, but the one from the Nevada brothel owner. Does this mean Ron Paul thinks brothels are a good idea? No, it means that many diverse Americans think that perpetual war, a police state, and the supression of free speech and voluntary commerce is a bad idea.
When and if Christian Rightists demand that he return the money, and accuse him of approving prostitution if he doesn't, will we see the silliness of the haters?

Pro-Patriot Act Giuliani meets anti-act Ron Paulites

The remarks came late in a Saturday of campaigning in the state of New Hampshire, the first of a two-day tour through the early primary state. Shortly after that address, Giuliani headed out for the Holiday Stroll in downtown Nashua, where supporters of GOP candidate Ron Paul accompanied him for most of his visit.

The crowds, however, don’t seem to have gotten the message. A rally for Giuliani in front of Manchester City Hall garnered only a few dozen supporters. Backers of Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich almost seemed to match them in numbers. Giuliani generates healthy crowds at town hall meetings, but they are not all loyalists. When it comes to rallies and events where partisans are expected in droves, Giuliani’s crowds disappoint. And the mainstream media has started to notice.

Some Free Advice For Tucker Carlson: Get All Ron Paul On Yourself

So - embrace that, Tucker and don’t be half hearted. Risk unpopularity the same way Ron does and find real, hardcore popularity. Become the go-to voice of the Paulists on these issues. Stop defending the GOP and start defending the libertarian conception of liberty in the same language that they use. It’s true to yourself and likely to spike rating in the same way that Keith Olbermann’s rating shot up when he found his true voice.

"The Founders Would Be Ashamed"

I guess it is somewhat in vogue these days to suggest that the Founders (and their brilliant documents) are much ado about nothing; a relic of a bygone era, with no application today. I find myself in a somewhat different mindset, though: even though societal conditions have changed significantly, the founding principles remain sound. One of Andrew Sullivan's readers came across some quotes from James Madison (quick, what is he known as? That's right, the FATHER of the Constitution):

Dear Ms. Schatz

Here's my note to Amy Schatz, author of the latest WSJ smear against Ron Paul supporters:
Dear Ms. Schatz, your uncritical quoting of such agitprop-terms as "Paultards" and "moRons" is offensive.
As the father of a mentally challeged young woman, whom Ron Paul helped me adopt 26 years ago, I know how hurt she would be to hear such epithets. Many others would feel the same.
Your insensitivity is startling, and shameful.

Paul honors Constitution

A successful Ron Paul campaign will go a long way toward correcting America’s course. Remember when one votes, you are voting for a policy. A vote for any candidate for president in 2008 other than Rep. Ron Paul is a vote for the same policies that lead to war, inflation, government tyranny, abuse of power, higher taxes, and bigger government. Rep. Ron Paul would make a dandy new leader for what’s left of our republic. Mona Charen seems a bit frightened by the U.S. Constitution.

What To Make Of The Ron Paul Revolution

But while much of the media and blogosphere’s attention has been spent on the messenger—his “quirkiness”, his naivety about believing he can win his party’s nomination, his avid internet supporters, his one-day fundraising totals, and his supposed “support” for the 9/11 Truth Movement—much less time has been spent focusing upon the message itself and what it means to the future of American politics. Ron Paul, himself has admitted, “I may not be the best messenger, but the message is powerful.”
All too often, partisans have made crucial issues into a Democratic-versus-Republican or liberal-versus-conservative debate. People who speak out against the war are a bunch of “Bush-haters” and members of the “far left” while people who speak out against costly federal spending programs are “corporatists” and members of the “far right.” That there are pro-liberty/anti-authority voters out there that do not cleave to the traditional left-versus-right spectrum is an irritant to Democratic and Republican apologists who make their living by selling us the false lie that there are only two choices in American politics—us versus them.

Do the Math; Ron Paul is the best choice for President

In an area with say 500,000 wage earners residences which is pretty typical of the medium US city, and the median annual household income is let's say $35,000, and if Ron Paul was elected President that would mean that each household would have an extra $4,939.92 that would likely go into their local economy or saved in their local bank. That would mean that this medium US city of 500,000 wage earner households would have an added $2,469,960,000 injected into their local economy annually. That is a big number.

War Street Journal smears Ron Paul supporters

Most candidates are judged by their record and their platform. Ron's Paul's Jeffersonian platform and record are unimpeachable so his opponents choose the novel and sleazy tactic of focusing on a few of his overzealous but harmless supporters. Why not talk about the other ten million?
Here's the War Street Journal's pathetic piece by another young journalist who shoots her career in the foot. Lady, I know you need the job but come on!
On Thursday morning, I and twenty Ron Paul supporters stood in freezing rain for two hours to promote our man as 9000 runners came by our site at the Buffalo Turkey Trot. Who was in the crew?

How to make sense of the Ron Paul revolution?

That force is less about Paul than about the movement that has erupted around him -- and the much larger subset of Americans who are increasingly disillusioned with the two major political parties' soft consensus on making government ever more intrusive at all levels, whether it's listening to phone calls without a warrant, imposing fines of half a million dollars for broadcast "obscenities" or jailing grandmothers for buying prescribed marijuana from legal dispensaries.
Kinsley is hardly alone in recognizing this trend. In April 2006, the Pew Research Center published a study suggesting that 9 percent of Americans -- more than enough to swing every presidential election since 1988 -- espouse a "libertarian" ideology that opposes "government regulation in both the economic and the social spheres." That is, a good chunk of your fellow citizens are fiscally conservative and socially liberal; in bumper-stickerese, they love their countrymen but distrust their government. Anyone looking to win elections -- or to make sense of contemporary U.S. politics -- would do well to understand the deep and growing reservoir that Paul is tapping into.

Ron Paul campaign hits mall

Normally, presidential campaigns don't bother sending direct-mail advertising to Indiana voters because nominations are locked up by the time Indiana holds its primary in May.
Instead, candidates spend their resources advertising in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states that hold earlier primaries.

Paul a better congressman than Charen believes

The only word to describe my response to your inclusion of Mona Charen's diatribe (Nov. 20) on Ron Paul is disgust.
Paul's record as a congressman has been nothing less than outstanding. He is the only man in Congress who has consistently voted on issues as to whether they are constitutional, and he is the only one, or one of the very few, who voted against what has increasingly been looked upon as the harbinger of the loss of individual liberties in the United States, the infamous Patriot Act.
Does he have his faults? Rather, the question should be, does any man not have them?

Ron Paul – Just Like Ronald Reagan – But Without All the Acting

Charlotte had her wake-up call. She had hoped Ronald Reagan would immediately take a firm stand against a communist system of education in America. Ronald Reagan failed to stand in the gap to protect our children. America's government-funded [read "government-controlled"] school system is a model for State control and integration into a One-World Government. It always has been. Government funding expects government control.
Ron Paul consistently presents the only solution for academic excellence and free thinking – get the Feds out of the education business – it is Not the Constitutional prerogative of the Federal Government.
As the mainstream media keep up the blackout on the Ron Paul campaign, we should not be surprised. We should redouble our efforts to educate ourselves and our fellow citizens so that we too may deftly turn arguments toward Constitutional solutions in full legal and historical context.

What is the right foreign policy?

I am convinced that to support Ron Paul is to be a consistent conservative in every area including foreign policy.

To vote for any top tier Republican candidate just to beat Hillary (and oppose Giuliani for those who are pro-life) is a vote of fear that will do nothing but prepare us for the next Hillary (whoever they are).

Ron Paul Supporters To Throng the Iowa Caucuses

"Paul's support comes from the least likely corners of Iowa, making it very difficult to measure with "likely voter" polls. Cynics expect his unlikely coalition to stay home on caucus night, and they might; but if the depth of a candidate's support is one measure of his likely success in the caucuses, Paul has the rest of the field beat. While Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, former Sen. Fred Thompson, and Sen. John McCain appear to swap supporters every few weeks, Paul's fans remain squarely in his corner. And there is the oft-ignored fact that polls show that a majority of likely GOP caucus-goers favor withdrawal from Iraq within six months, which many analysts are hard-pressed to explain."

Inside The Numbers: The Ron Paul Factor

Unlike many GOP candidates, Paul hasn't tried to have his cake and eat it, too, on the subject of President Bush. He has little or nothing charitable to say about the president. And with new revelations coming from Bush's own press secretary about "who knew what when" in the CIA leak scandal, Paul's distance seems all the wiser.
How do I think Ron Paul will impact 2008? It's at least possible that he'll fare better than expected -- and not just eventually in scattered primaries, but as early as next week in the much-awaited CNN/YouTube debate in Florida. Paul is often quicker and less plastic than his counterparts, and could do well in such a format.

If Ron Paul can do it, we can, too, right? So went the reasoning behind "Fred's Giving Day," a copycat money bomb initiative that took place today. People were to pledge to donate $100 each today (sound familiar?).
As of this morning, the initative had garnered, I kid you not, a grand total of 82 pledges.
Two lessons from this:
1) No one gets excited about a boring establishment hack who parrots safe GOP slogans.
2) Since Ron Paul got tens of thousands of pledges and donations on his money bomb day, as opposed to Fred's 82, and since this lopsided grassroots fundraising victory over Thompson is even more pronounced than the usual Ron Paul Internet poll victory, might all those Ron Paul Internet poll victories have been for real after all?

"There's something weird going on," Jonah Goldberg writes, "when [Ron] Paul, the small-government constitutionalist, is considered the extremist in the Republican Party while [Mike] Huckabee, the statist, is the lovable underdog. It's even weirder because it's probably true: Huckabee is much closer to the mainstream. And that's what scares me about Huckabee and the mainstream alike."

Ron Paul steam rolling toward the GOP nomination?

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of 2008 is starting to look an awful lot like Ronald Reagan of 1980 as he continues to demonstrate national support.
Speaking before a crowd of over a 1,000 in Las Vegas Paul outlined his agenda for the nation. The crowd was typical. It was large and wildly enthusiastic. Two weeks ago Ron Paul drew a crowd of 5,000 for a Philadelphia rally outside Independence Hall.

Joel Skousen on Ron Paul; the Sell Out Traitor Glenn Beck

Joel Skousen of World Affairs Brief begins his lecture with some great words for Ron Paul, and also exposes Romney for the pathetic fake conservative he is. Glenn Beck the ravening wolf entered into the LDS Faith too is spoken of as well as the new Book by Dr. Jack Monnett dealing with the secret combinations warned of in the Book of Mormon which would rise in our day---secret combinations which seek to "overthrow the freedom of all nations, lands and countries."

Ron Paul’s “Crazy” Supporters and Other Nonsense

Supporters of Ron Paul are excited because they believe they can realize a peaceful path to change and a way to restore faith in the constitution and balance to the nation. They realize that violence and force are part of the problem, not the solution. The Ron Paul revolution catch phrase emphasizes love found in the word rEVOLution. It is disingenuous to call his supporters crazy. It is unfair to label them as terrorists. I would never stoop to calling those in the media names or suggesting that they don’t know what they’re talking about. In fact, I believe just the opposite. I believe those in the media who are trying to discredit Ron Paul and his supporters are quite intelligent and well informed. I know they are quite well paid, unlike folks like me, and it is their job (or at least is should be) to make themselves informed. This makes their motives seem quite nefarious when they decide to engage in activities such as name calling and shouting out for state sanctioned violence against Ron Paul supporters and others.

Ron Paul's Road to Freedom

Ron Paul believes that the government powers must be limited (like the writers of the constitution believed). By removing federal regulations, we will encourage competition on the free market. By encouraging competition on the free market, we will present real choices while lowering costs. This will ultimately create a sense of competition among health insurance companies, which will in turn lower costs and make healthcare available to more people.

Ron Paul best of Republican candidates

I think we should eliminate Giuliani from consideration, especially since his one-time right-hand man, Bernard Kerik, was just indicted for tax evasion and corruption. If you think Giuliani didn't know about Kerik's dealings, you are naive. But I suppose Giuliani has one supporter, evangelist Pat Robertson from the 700 Club. Truly strange bedfellows. Do your homework and vote for the person who would really help our country out of the mess we're in. Don't just vote for the most popular or charismatic carbon copy of the same old same old.

The first was when he placed the image of presidential candidate Ron Paul on the face of his currency and the second was on Wednesday, when the FBI raided his headquarters, the Sunshine Mint. An upbeat NotHaus appeared Tuesday on the CNBC program Kudlow & Company to discuss his legal woes.

Ron Paul Train Stoking Fires of Liberty

Sam Adams, a founding father, stated, “ It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.” Ideas have consequences and are much stronger than bullets. Ideas were what brought the Berlin Wall down and ideas are what will transform the United States of America back into the republic it was created to be.

An Open Letter to the Catholic Community in Behalf of Ron Paul

In other words, Ron Paul believes in a little something called subsidiarity, which happens to be a central principle of Catholic social thought. Subsidiarity holds that all social functions should be carried out by the most local unit possible, as opposed to the dehumanizing alternative whereby distant bureaucratic structures are routinely and unthinkingly entrusted with more and more responsibilities for human well-being.

RGJ: a conversation with Ron Paul

My message is very simple: obey the rule of law. The rule of law is very, very important and the Constitution is the rule of law. If you can ignore the Constitution in one area there is nothing left. If you can go to war without a declaration, how can you expect them to defend the Second Amendment or the First Amendment or the Fourth Amendment. . .My message is you obey the Constitution. Fortunately for me and our followers, we think freedom solves the problem, rather than government.

Let Morality Be Your Compass

To those who would chose to stray away from the restraints of our Constitution, to those who advocate endless entitlements and de-facto socialism, be warned: you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. The masses fed by entitlements are growing and getting hungrier by the minute. When will the current establishment realize that eventually those of us who know how to fish will be struggling to feed ourselves and our families? Facts are facts, and we can't keep up with the burgeoning entitlement programs. Eventually they will come back to bite us.

NO 12 MILLION NOW = FAILURE OF THE RON PAUL REVOLUTION

If we were to raise the entire $12 million in the last week of December, we would meet our fundraising goal for the quarter. But Ron Paul would stand little chance of winning the Republican nomination, because that money would have come in too late.
Time is of the essence. You see, we need to raise money well before we plan to spend it. That’s because most of the expenditures that we make need to be paid for weeks in advance. For example, we need to buy crucial airtime for the end of December right now.

Ron Paul campaigns in Nevada

"We will get poorer, because we've lived beyond our means, and we will have to pay back the bills we have run up," he said. "But if we do what is necessary rather quickly, if we release the creative energy of a free society, we will not be poor very long."
The only other Republican mounting an active organizing campaign in Nevada is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who, a Paul representative noted, drew just 200 people to a weekend appearance in Henderson.

In July, Paul was at 2% in the poll; the geometric progression clearly is a trend the Paul camp wants to see continue.

Ron Paul vs. The Philosophically Bankrupt

After reading the name-calling and other non sequiturs from the anti-Ron Paul crowd, I am of the view that their hostility arises less from his opposition to war, or the direction American foreign policy has taken for decades, or any of the other specific programs he has criticized. What troubles them the most is that Paul has a philosophically-principled integrity in what he advocates and that, to challenge him, one must be prepared to deal with him at that higher level.

Ron Paul: A refreshing candidate

Have you noticed that only one of this muster consistently hews to principles that have guided him throughout a long life of extraordinary accomplishment? He wastes no time explaining away previous actions and pronouncements that conflict with his present stance. He makes no attempt to discern which way the herd is going so he take a place as their leader. He promises to reduce taxes and spending. He pledges no war for any reason short of an actual attack on our nation accompanied by a congressional declaration of war. He pledges to remove most of our troops from the some 130 places in the world where they are sticking their nose in other people’s business.
