How the GOP Got Here

The election of Barak Obama will go down as one of the greatest political sleights of hands of all time. Obama campaigned on the empty rhetoric of change and hope and will instead deliver socialism, something too many of his supporters never saw coming. The leftist so-called “news” media was complicit in this charade, refusing to tell the truth about this man’s agenda. Their reputation is finished.
The liberal wing of the GOP has caused the collapse of the Republican party. It is no longer a viable player in the political conversation, and deservedly so: For a decade it has spat on the values of Ronald Reagan. Conservatives let it be known on Tuesday in races all over the country that it has had enough with the betrayal.

Ron Paul on The Alex Jones Show" Prepare!!"

The plans were laid long ago, a world government, one currency, No private property, McCain was never meant to win...
Obama the puppet of this new world order.

The Price the GOP Paid for Backing the Wrong Horse

So they moved on to plan b, McCain. The other GOP candidates once out of money, moved aside expect one; Ron Paul. His campaign was moving along like a freight train. Now at this point in the game, Ron Paul had set an all time record for fund raising in one day, had the most contributions from active military of any candidate and was pulling voters from all parties into the GOP fold. But the GOP acted as though this ten term Republican Congressman from Texas didn’t exist. On the GOP website when listing potential GOP candidates many states didn’t even list him. They turned their back on a party candidate and they turned their back on potentially millions of new voters to the party. Most polls didn’t even offer him as a choice. The nightly news treated him with disdain and barely mentioned his speaking engagements where tens of thousands of people showed up to listen. I was personally at the University of Michigan where 4,000 people showed up and it didn’t make the news.

Obama "I Think When You Spread The Wealth Around It's Good For Everybody"

Ok Obama lovers I got news for you...you will be ROBBED of the fruits of your labor much more now if you are a productive citizen. Welcome to Idiocracy where people will sit on their fat asses and expect Obama to give them free government handouts.
Reality check: The Government has NOTHING! It takes from producing Americans by oppressive taxation, inflation and gives it to you socialists who make nothing just so you can vote for them and the perpetual oppressive state. Do you think the producers will want to keep producing? They will go elsewhere.

Election Night Successes

It has been a rough night for the forces of liberty as well as for the forces of Bush. But there have been some notable exceptions. Personal possession of marijuana has passed in Massachusetts and right to die has passed in Washington State. Walter Jones has won in North Carolina and, of course, Dr. Paul will be returning to congress as well.

Why McCain and the Republicans Went Down

During the Republican presidential debate in Durham, New Hampshire, in September 2007, Congressman Ron Paul warned that "we've dug a hole for ourselves and we've dug a hole for our party. We're losing elections and we're going down next year if we don't change it."
Paul's warning was in the context of the Bush administration's interventionist foreign policy, particularly the war in Iraq. Indeed, the year before, the Democrats captured majority control of both the House and Senate based largely on the growing public opposition to the Iraq War, which was associated not just with President Bush but with Republicans in general.
The economy is now far and away the most pressing issue on the minds of the American people, and Ron Paul warned too about the economic meltdown that would occur if we continued borrowing money for programs we could not afford — very much including the war in Iraq — and creating money out of thin air to finance the borrowing.
The Republicans have gone down this election year, just as Ron Paul warned. But if the Republicans — including in particular the Republican standard-bearer in this year's presidential race — had backed away from the socialism and foreign interventionism that had dug a hole for the party, and had instead repositioned the Republican Party as the party of limited government and noninterventionism once again, the election results could have been very different.

Will Obama “Change” The Bush Police State Or Expand It?

Obama’s acceptance speech assertion that “change has come to America” is likely to signal the beginning and end of the “change” that millions of Americans naively thought they were voting for.
That’s it folks, the puppet has been rotated. Sorry to be so cynical, but the “change” you thought you were electing is already over and done with. The color of his skin matters about as much as whether he has an R or a D next to his name. The egregious spending will continue, government will balloon in size, American soldiers will be used as cannon fodder for more interventionist wars of the military-industrial complex, U.S. citizens will continue to have their phone calls tapped and their rights curtailed, and the Federal Reserve will continue to rule the financial system with an iron fist while the middle class is squeezed out of existence.

Third-party voters stay true to their principles

Matt Beard, a recent UM graduate who also voted for Paul, said he wants to see America return to the Constitution. “
I vote with my principles,” Beard said. “Our government has been oppressive with its own people.” He said he is opposed to the Patriot Act that neither McCain nor Obama addressed some of the issues that were important to him.
He said McCain and Obama are funded by international banking cartels and that they are tied to organizations that are trying to set up a world government. “Every year the Democrats and Republicans are funded by the same organizations. They’re not funded by the people anymore,” Beard said.

Is Conservatism Dead?

This may spell the death of the GOP as we know it. For years, we have allowed the neoconservative movement run things, and frankly, people were fed up. Since most of the left believes Bush is representative of true conservatism, they swung more socialist by electing the most liberal senator.
Congratulations, GOP, you may finally be on your way back to your libertarian roots. It will take years of infighting and grassroots movements, but I hope and pray this spells the death of the neocon super power.

Cultivating Your Precinct Leader Garden

A Precinct Leader makes the largest impact by simply connecting with neighbors. Meet a neighbor while out raking leaves, walking the dog, getting the mail, shoveling snow or mowing the lawn. Bring up something that affects the neighborhood and let them talk about it and you'll have an idea where they stand and what is important to them. Knowing about specific legislation that affects your neighborhood and keeping up with current events in your area is critical. That way, the Precinct Leader can match the neighbor's concern with current and upcoming legislation.

Why Ron Paul Didn’t Win

Ron Paul goes against the basic ideas of the Republican Party that go back to Lincoln in 1860. He may be a Jeffersonian Republican but the Republican Party is Lincolnian. Perhaps Dr. Paul is an Old Right Republican, but they were eclipsed in the Party long ago. Republicans stand for the Union above all, which is the national State. They don’t believe in a limited State. They have stood for high tariffs, subsidies to business, and subsidies to build infrastructure. They are very weak on civil liberties. I could go on at length to underscore my point, which is virtually self-evident. Republicans routinely vote in large numbers against Ron Paul’s proposals. They don’t believe in his principles.

Some Congressional Races of Note

While the entire globe is mesmerized and diverted from reality by the dog and pony show of Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin, there are hundreds of congressional races taking place tomorrow as well; battles that are unquestionably more important than the puppet play at the forefront of the 24/7 cable "news” propaganda sessions.
At face, I believe that at least 95 percent of incumbent members of Congress should be voted out. They comprise a pack of cowardly criminals that on the Right have fell lock step with the Neo-Cons, and on the Left, have completely betrayed their base after the 2006 Congressional election shakeup - failing to stand up to the Neo-Cons and playing - to a tee - the flip side of an evil coin.
The complete support and promotion of two illegal wars. The support (albeit under the duress of Martial Law - yes, and don’t roll your eyes) for the immoral Wall Street bailout. The perpetuation of illegal spying on the American people. And on and on and on.
Still, there are a few incumbents who not only should keep their job but who truly are champions of the constitution and the American people. There are also a few challengers who we should all hope steal the day.

Penn Jillette on Election 2008

reason: But you'd enjoyed the Paul movement (or moment)?
Jillette: I was just thrilled! I love it when people are seeing a point of view that they’ve never seen before. I had people coming to me and explaining RP’s positions in a way that I couldn’t explain them. I loved that! I love listening to somebody talk about liberty so much better than I ever had. I am such a believer in marketplace of ideas. What troubles me most about politics is this feeling that you shouldn’t waste time with anyone but the frontrunners. The fact that we had this little glitch in the system, that people might listen to somebody else who wasn’t at the top of the polls, it just fills me with such incredible joy to think about it. There were people who considered me a nut for not going with one of the two major party candidates who were, all of a sudden, supporting Ron Paul.

Ron Paul: The Moral Hazard of Regulation

Since the bailout bill passed, I have been frequently disturbed to hear “experts” wrongly blaming the free market for our recent economic problems and calling for more regulation. In fact, further regulation can only make things worse.
It is important to understand that regulators are not omniscient. It is not feasible for them to anticipate every possible thing that could go wrong with whatever industry or activity they are regulating. They are making their best guesses when formulating rules. It is often difficult for those being regulated to understand the many complex rules they are expected to follow. Very wealthy corporations hire attorneys who may discover a myriad of loopholes to exploit and render the spirit of the regulations null and void. For this reason, heavy regulation favors big business against those small businesses who cannot afford high-priced attorneys.
The other problem is the trust that people blindly put in regulations, and the moral hazard this creates. Too many people trust government regulators so completely that they abdicate their own common sense to these government bureaucrats. They trust that if something violates no law, it must be safe. How many scams have “It’s perfectly legal” as a hypnotic selling point, luring in the gullible?

The Real Work Begins

Let’s face facts. No matter which candidate won, nothing substantive is going to change. Failing businesses will continue to be propped up by the federal government, until they became “too big to fail.” Poor executive decisions will be rewarded with government takeovers, funded by working taxpayers.
Instead of encouraging more effort on the parts of these failed companies, so that they might succeed competitively in a free market, these bail-outs encourage nothing but the decay of our infrastructure.
Both candidates voted for the obscene “bail-out” that was just stolen from our national treasury against the vocal wishes of 85% of Americans. The rhetoric has gone beyond empty—it is a vacuum that sucks rationality and critical thinking from the minds of a panicked public.
There was one candidate who actually represented “stopping the madness” in this election cycle: Ron Paul.

Ron Paul On The Economy And Why The Bailout Was Bad Idea

It's amazing how people feel in everything that's going on and we still have no recession," Congressman Ron Paul stated. "Even today they had a report on the GDP and it was down just in a small amount; it wasn't down nearly as what was anticipated. I think the numbers are all fudged and I think government's deceived us. If they talk about inflation, they always say that inflation is much less then it really is; they deny us certain numbers, like how fast the money supply is growing. So there's a lot of deception going on.

Write-in vote for Ron Paul

Ron Paul is an official write-in candidate for president in California.
You don’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Both major candidates voted to rob you, your children and your grandchildren of over $700 billion to bail out big corporations that were forced by government regulations to give mortgages to people who could not afford to make payments. Congressman Ron Paul voted against the regulations, and against the bailout.
To most politicians, the Constitution is an obstacle. To Ron Paul, it is a guide. Most politicians will tell you what you want to hear. Ron Paul will tell you the truth. He is not only a doctor, he is an economic scholar who understands more about the economy than all the other presidential candidates put together.

"Write in Ron" -- a vote that counts

I hope that in 2012 Paul, or someone like him, runs as the Republican candidate, or that a third party finally takes power and fights this corrupt, greedy government. If the nation got to hear Paul's words and message as much as they did Obama and McCain, he would be President. If the media actually took time to listen and discuss and express to the public what he really stands for -- he'd be President. After all, Americans love the Constitution and Paul stands for everything it consists of.

Higher Taxes Crushes Nation’s Job Creation

Lenin said: “The way to crush the bourgeois is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” Toynbee said: “The fall of a great nation is always suicide.”
Further, every government program is backed by force or threat of force. The Democrats and Republicans both do it for you. Voting for either of them is throwing your vote away. No matter whom you vote for the government gets elected. Voting for either other them helps your oppressors. They don’t do things for you, they do them to you. It’s only a matter of degree, “the lesser of two evils.”
Instead, write in Ron Paul, whose philosophy of liberty is that as long as you do not harm another peaceful person, you should be free to live your life as you see fit.

I'm in Wake County, home of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill,, and Cary, the heart of the Research Triangle, to chronicle some of the final hours of the BJ Lawson campaign. Lawson's the most successful of the wave of Ron Paul Republican candidates who won their party's nods for House seats. The good news for Lawson is that he's out-organizing Democratic Rep. David Price, the incumbent, and he's spent all day talking to voters at a crowded, slow-moving early vote site. The bad news is that Obama is running far stronger than Kerry did, and Kerry won this district. Price is counting on coattails.

There has been a stirring in the populace as more and more the whispers of these concepts can be heard in the taverns and other places where people gather. A nation of freemen is not something to be trifled with. Don´t let a small defeat like this election cycle bring you down and fill you with doubt. The peaceful revolution is gaining traction.

Third-partying the rEVOLution in Louisiana

Time and again during the Republican primary season (as I discovered when writing "Ron Paul's Delegate Wars" last spring), Paul was cheated of national delegates by Republican Party rule-breaking and chicanery. That became almost the norm after President George W. Bush anointed John McCain as the party nominee; but incidents were reported earlier. One of the earliest was the Louisiana state caucus vote, in January.
At the Jan. 22 caucuses, party officials violated several of their own rules in an attempt to freeze out the RPR [Ron Paul Republicans]. First, they held off calling the original caucus until Dec. 17 - ten weeks after the legal deadline, and two weeks after the deadline for registering Republican. Second, the deadline to file as a delegate was arbitrarily extended after Ron Paul supporters were the only ones to file a full slate in each congressional district. Third, officials used an out-of-date party membership list, to challenge Paul supporters and force them to cast provisional ballots.
