I couldn't believe what I was reading! To think that these fans, many of  whom, if the concerts I went to are any indication, are the type to drink so much at a show so as to forget what was played, were that interested in these issues, and with such nuance? Is Ron Paul teaching people, or simply revealing that many have been thinking and just had no politicians that were worthy to think about? I believe it must be some of both.

I find it far more likely that this botnet spam attack is not the design of the Paul campaign or any of its supporters. It is far more likely that this is the release of a first round of direct cyber attack against the Ron Paul campaign. I base this opinion on the fact that the attack is becoming clearly targeted at the youtube videos of Ron Paul. Youtube links to his videos are beginning to be inserted into the the body of these spam message and as a direct result the video's are being pulled by youtube for violation of their terms of use policy.

The CFR knows the "American empire" message doesn't work anymore, so they are co-opting the language of the Left. What the fools don't know--and don't bother realizing--is that the Left's rubric and nonsense don't work either. Sixty years of failure demonstrates that soundly.
And the Paul campaign is lifting the rock, letting the sunlight in and showing the average voter just what reptiles the Establishment truly are.
And when Paul is roundly and warmly received by Middle America on the Tonight Show, the CFR and their Establishment buddies know their own message is not only being lost, but ignored--and ridiculed.

It appears that all of the media polls were wrong and Republican  presidential candidate Ron Paul is mounting a serious challenge for the GOP nomination. Paul’s campaign will be hosting several events in South Carolina.
Ron Paul’s presidential campaign will be opening up an office in Greenville South Carolina tomorrow, holding a campaign rally in downtown Columbia on Friday, and opening another office in Columbia South Carolina on Saturday.

Every once in a while, opportunity knocks, and it’s knocking now at a very pivotal time in American history. Our opportunity is Ron Paul, and more importantly, his adherence to the Constitution. Why not pursue this candidate of hope and change, rather than suppress interest in him by opining that he will not win? The college campuses are not so jaded, Joe. Ron Paul is spreading like wildfire over the quads. Further, Ron Paul supporters are some of the most astute people I’ve ever met. They come from all walks of life - doctors and lawyers, students, website designers, cops, train conductors, you name it - and they all have two things in common: they were not politically enthusiastic until they heard about Ron Paul and they will NOT miss their chance to vote

So ask yourself this question... When is the only time during the year that  tens or perhaps hundreds of neighbors and total strangers come to your house unannounced and ring your doorbell?
Sometimes parents are standing near the door and sometimes they are in the background... but they are watching over their children... Later when they get home and check the candy bag --- well this year there is a surprise. This year you will give them something a little extra. Something that the parents are sure to be very curious about and will then watch on their TV.... And so is born.... RONPAULOWEEN

Another softball from Leno: "ARE YOU AN ISOLATIONIST?" Paul should  have said "No, not at all, I'm a noninterventionist! There's a big difference!" --If you don't label what you are, all the uneducated idiots in the audience say to themselves: "Oh, he actually is an isolationist, he just doesn't want to say it!"

Yesterday afternoon, when we pulled up at NBC studios in Burbank, hundreds of Ron's typically diverse and enthusiastic supporters cheered and cheered. Young and old, black, Asian and white, families and hippies, entrepreneurs and professionals, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and anarchists, they had come from all over California, and from Nevada, Washington, and Oregon too. They had been there since 5:00am to ensure that they had tickets to the Tonight Show. I wondered: how much would, say, the Giuliani campaign had have to pay people to do that? These self-organizing volunteers hadn't even had to be asked.

Please join me on November 5, 2007 in giving $100 to my grandfather’s  campaign. I know this could be a financial strain on many people to give this much money. Remember, however, that our dollar is in decline, we are fighting a war we cannot afford, and every other candidate is oblivious to these facts. Ron Paul is the only hope in the 2008 election to restore some sense of financial responsibility and defense of our individual rights to the federal government. If you don't give your dollar now, it might not be worth giving very soon.

The campaign has been going so well in his view that "there's probably  a risk I could win," Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul just told NBC-TV's Jay Leno.
He told Leno he attributes those successes "to the message."
"I have shortcomings, but the message has no shortcomings," Paul said. It's all about "liberty," he added.
Paul ticked off some of the things he would try to do as president -- including bringing all U.S. troops home from Iraq and eliminating the federal income tax.

To be totally honest it is a bit premature to call this election a two man race. Anything can happen to lift a candidate not mentioned here to the center stage or derail a candidate as well, but for pundits to be placing more emphasis on polls than fund raising and the crowds that a candidate attracts just doesn't make sense.

This is precisely what Ron Paul means by the inflation tax. When too much money is printed, Wall St gets the first handout - and everyone else gets the trickle-down and the inflation downside. That is what creates the income inequality that is destroying the middle-class. And again, it is not a result of a free market no matter how much Dems jump up and down. It is the inevitable result of a central bank that has a state-granted monopoly over the creation of money.

In one of this campaign season's more creative grassroots efforts,  students from an undisclosed southeastern university have committed to playing the massively popular Halo 3 video game for 12 hours a day, seven days a week -- "12/7" they brag -- and are broadcasting their marathon sessions live on the internet. Visitors tuning in to watch the multiplayer carnage, a number now surpassing 35,000 people according to a counter on the players' website, are encouraged to make a donation to Ron Paul's campaign.

The plan has been circulating on various internet websites for 1 hundred thousand people to make a 1 hundred dollar donation on November 5th. If Paul’s supporters follow through they will give Ron Paul a one day pop of 10 million dollars.
The amazing part about the fund raising drive is that Ron Paul's campaign said they had nothing to do with it and that it was just a spontaneous idea that caught on among Ron Paul supporters in online communities and websites like This November 5th.
While such a massive display of grassroots support for a candidate has never been demonstrated before, it is not entirely out of the question. This Ron Paul TV ad that just started running in New Hampshire had 90,000 views on YouTube yesterday and has risen to 175,000 views today.

Nothing nefarious here, folks. Indeed, Alex Jones donated to the Ron Paul campaign, as radio talk show hosts are allowed to donate to the political campaigns of their choice. As for the supposed $1,300 payment to Alex Jones, this was merely a refund. Jones made a mistake he intended to donate $1,000, not $2,300, and the $1,300 was a refund. The transaction was noted by OpenSecrets, an organization covering presidential funding.
But never mind. In the demented recesses of the average neocon mind, this transaction is considered some sort of sinister conspiracy one they hope may bring down the Ron Paul campaign, as the neocons want to make it look like Ron Paul is paying Alex Jones for favorable coverage on his radio show and websites.

A possible 60 second ad? It rocks!
October 30, 2007 Permalink
The first ad is certainly not nearly as slickly produced as ads from other  campaigns. It features supporters talking about why they are supporting the longshot Republican.
"Look, the man's a doctor. He's the only one who understands the health care mess," one woman tells friends at a coffee shop.
"He's the only one who's really talking sense to the people," another guy says.
This ad has something that other campaign ads lack: Young voters.
"I'm undeclared, but I'm going to go Republican and vote for Ron Paul," one student tells two friends.
October 30, 2007 Permalink
One ad, called "Catching On," features New Hampshire residents voicing their support, including a self-described undeclared voter who says he will vote in the Republican primary simply to cast a ballot for Paul.
The ad says nothing about Paul's stands on the issues and simply attempts to capture the interest he has been generating, particularly on the Internet.
October 30, 2007 Permalink
Paul is only Republican candidate who opposes the Iraq war and has  built a passionate following online. He plans to spend $1.1 million of the $5.4 million he had available at the end of September on five ads over the next six weeks to try to raise his standing in the polls.

“All empires fail because of a financial crisis,” he told the Christian pastors.
 If elected, Paul would try to radically shrink the federal government.
“If we don’t want the government running our lives and we get to run our lives, then we have to assume total responsibility for what we do,” he told the Ames crowd. “We have to suffer the consequences. But the great thing about this philosophy is that if you believe in life, liberty, and the right to pursue your happiness, you also believe you get to keep all of the fruits of your labor.”
Hence Paul would scrap the income tax.

The War in Iraq is no longer necessary nor is it morally responsible to maintain.

"My campaign is this: I don't want to run your lives," Paul said. "I don't  have the authority to do it and it's not in the Constitution. And I don't have moral right, so I don't intend to run your lives."
In his speech, Paul proposed changes to the current tax codes, foreign policy, health care and a return to government by the Constitution. He also said he wants to abolish the income tax and repeal the 14th Amendment, which gives citizenship to any child born in the United States -- including children of illegal immigrants.

The denizens of the Beltway “libertarian” crowd are largely legends in their own minds: Ron Paul, on the other hand, is a real world person, a nine-term Republican congressman from the Gulf coast of Texas who has nonetheless managed to maintain his unblemished record of libertarian integrity. Paul, as Gillespie would have it, is “too stupid to realize that’s not how politics works.” Here we have a former editor of “Suck” lecturing America’s most successful libertarian politician on how politics works: it’s laughable. Paul’s entire career in politics is a living reproach to the cynicism of Gillespie and his fellow wannabe “libertarian pundits, and that’s why they get wheeled out to sneer at him.

Paul is starting to get covered by traditional media outlets because he has raised money and has attracted strong support by getting his message out via the internet.

A colleague of mine at Ramapo College said he saw Ron Paul signs “everywhere” when he was in the Granite State recently. The “yard sign” indicator may be a better predictor of a candidate’s real strength than an establishment presidential poll.

In any country that has allowed the government to arrest people secretly, to imprison them without trial, to torture them for information, to spy on them without safeguards, or to search their homes and effects without a warrant, those powers have invariably been abused.

The value of a full range of ideas being heard is that truth extended (as during a debate or election speech) resonates with the same truth deep inside listeners(see The Spiritual Basis of Liberty), so now it's not the Clinton or Giuliani machine against some old eccentric named Ron Paul.

Now here is an important principle which freedom-lovers must keep ever in mind: truth always wins in the long run ... even if it cannot overcome a particular political machine in a particular election.

Paul said his ideas to refer back to the foundation of the country were ideal because of the Constitution's role as a regulator of the government instead of the citizens.
"The government has grown out of control. It's nothing that the founding fathers intended," Paul said. "They intended to give us a document with separations of power where the powers of government would watch each other. It wasn't to deal with you as an individual. It was never meant to restrain you."

Thankfully there are other citizens who volunteer for those possibilities within their respective duties. You need to focus on the war of ideologies that Ron Paul is leading.

"What most people don't hear that the younger people hear and see  very clearly is their forced participation. The current troop deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan have been there far beyond the prescribed tours of duty, and our military has been spread so thin that we are virtually guarding Iraq while America goes unprotected. This cannot continue on a volunteer basis. The young of our country see a mandatory draft in their future to fight in a war they don't even want. These young people are supporting Ron Paul in droves. They do not want a new Vietnam or continued Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran for their generation."

In Obama, young voters see the same uninspiring corporate driven slogans they see in the campaigns of Romney, Clinton, Edwards and Giuliani. But in Ron Paul they sense something quite different: authenticity. Authenticity that can now be verified by the tools this wireless generation created to cipher through the bullshit: MySpace, YouTube, the blogosphere, etc. Though these tools don’t synch with the polling results of Spin Alley, they do reflect the true pulse of American youth.

What this shows is that the mainstream is starting to sit up and ask, Who is Ron Paul? The people are curious and now the big talk shows are responding. Of course, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report already had him on, but they are always cutting edge. Now, the regular Joe will have a chance to hear more than a thirty second blurb from Ron Paul, which is really exciting. Hopefully, people will begin to see that Ron Paul is anything but a fringe candidate. In fact, he is probably the least fringe of them all. He has a very simple message and plan: just follow the Constitution. That's it.

This country’s independence is being threatened by accelerating currency debasement, runaway inflation and the loss of the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, all results of our profligate spending and monetary policies. The middle class is being systematically dismantled. Our freedoms are threatened by the militaristic corporatocracy currently in power that is trying to make itself permanent before the next election.
I don’t agree with Congressman Paul on all issues, and probably neither will you. But I can put aside my difference on the smaller issues so that we can address the life-threatening ones.

The future existence of our country is whats at stake, to me, when comparing whether or not the President of our country favors abortion, vs. our future existence, I will not pick abortion. Every leader in the Democratic Party, including Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards are in favor of socialism. Read Mein Kampf if you don't believe me. Democrats believe we can't wisely run our own lives or spend our own money.. They believe that since they are so much smarter than the average American, it is only right for them to reach into our pockets and spend our money for us.

The number of signs on private property is a key indicator of a  campaign's true strength, Dupre told students. "You see Ron Paul signs on people's property," he observed. "You don't see Fred Thompson signs."
Paul supporters were optimistic even before these most recent poll results were announced, with some drawing comparisons to Pat Buchanan's upset victory in New Hampshire's 1996 primary.
State Representative Paul Ingbretson has endorsed Paul and is bullish on his chances. The Haverhill Republican said a 2nd or 3rd place finish in New Hampshire would energize the campaign nationwide, but he dares to hope voters will make Paul a New Hampshire winner. "I think what happened with Pat Buchanan is even more likely to happen now," he said.

I have a request and that is that you stop calling the campaign with your complaints. I have offered to work with them on the critique. This is not set in stone, and can be redone. These are real supporters, not actors. I know most of them - they are my friends and are great people, some of them in important positions in NH.

Ron Paul has been dominating the straw polls for months. Many in the media have decried these victories as false indicators claiming they do not represent the actual views of the American population. This has become so extreme that many polls have been removed from websites after Paul has demonstrated an overwhelming victory to hide the results.

This ad is meant to introduce Ron Paul to the general public. A few would argue that it is bad and the supporter made ads are better. Please note however that the sleeping masses need an introduction to Ron Paul first before waking them up on his constitutionally correct positions.
Ron Paul faithful are used to seeing emotionaly charged YouTube videos. These are not always the best for a first introduction to the public.

He means the WHOLE COUNTRY is mortgaged. We already owe $9  TRILLION to the banks and to foreign countries. And that says nothing about the $50 trillion in unfunded liabilities of our “entitlement” programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc. In short, the government of the US in now in debt by more than the total wealth of the country. We owe more than we are able to pay. We are bankrupt. And still the idiots in Washington borrow billions every day to pay for a war we cannot win. This is insanity. Only Ron Paul wants to put an end to the madness and get the country back on a sound financial footing. The choice is simple. Ron Paul or the end of the US as we know it. There are no other options.

I thought it was interesting that Stormfront.com’s Don Black also endorsed George Bush for President back in 2004. I don’t recall the LST asking fellow Texan George W. Bush to publicly denounce white racist groups and give any of their donations to Jewish charities. David Benzion of LST posted in the comments sections of their article for any Ron Paul supporters to “Think clearly, communicate carefully, and we will be fair-minded in judging your motivations and the strength of your intellectual arguments.” To David Benzion I have to say this: GET A LIFE! Your article and investigation is a joke that does little more than show the extent of your political leanings. Who made David Benzion the judge and jury for American voters?

I believe the freedom movement should now be focusing their efforts in  moving liberty-minded celebrities and luminaries (both national and local) to start aggressively speaking out on behalf of Dr. Paul and the message of freedom. At this juncture, these endorsements would go a long way towards providing the rocket fuel that would aid the polls further in moving in the right direction.

I have been an independent voter for about 20 years and have become  disenchanted with politicians. I do vote, but I have never gotten excited about a candidate, until now.
After listening to Ron Paul in a televised debate and meeting him in Manchester, N.H., I got very excited. He would bring all our troops home from around the world and save almost a trillion dollars.

Officials with Paul's campaign acknowledge they have an uphill battle,  but say they plan to broaden his support with an advertising campaign that includes $1.1 million in television spots that begin airing Monday in New Hampshire.
Campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said the purpose of the ads was to "give people a full picture of who Ron Paul is. The war is a component, but there is a heck of a lot more, too."
The television spots feature people in New Hampshire talking about Paul's stands, including bringing troops home from Iraq. The ad also includes biographical material, emphasizing that obstetrician Paul is the only doctor in the race, said Benton.

The notion that Paul’s supporters are more ardent has even been presented as a criticism. Why isn’t a candidate who energizes his base at a higher level than others newsworthy ? Here’s a novel concept: Maybe the reason Paul is trouncing the “serious” Republican contenders in debates is—his ideas. Or more accurately, his fidelity to the Founders’ ideas. This physician, congressman and presidential candidate is a man after the Founders’ own hearts.
Some ridicule Paul as a radical because he honestly, literally believes we should reduce and restore federal government as envisioned and outlined in the Constitution.

I could spend a week talking about the many shortcomings of the handful of GOP hopefuls, but there are more pressing issues. At the end of the day, each of them are on a path, not just for defeat, but for an absolute national upset. After factoring in all of the variables with mathematical precision, Congressman Ron Paul from Texas is on his to deliver a shock to the nation. Ron Paul is the perfect storm of "dark horse" candidates... let's look at the figues.

For the longest time, many journalists, myself included, did not take Ron  Paul seriously. It wasn't that his politics -- a combination of libertarian constitutionalism and social conservatism -- were unusual. It was, principally, that he was anti-war in a party where that view dare not express itself.

“It’s striking to me that he’s at 7 percent without running a single TV ad in New Hampshire,” commented Dante J. Scala, an associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire. “If he starts to attract significant support among independents, then he could start to hurt Giuliani or McCain.
October 26, 2007 Permalink
If Paul’s television ads are as direct as his radio ad it could have a devastating impact on Giuliani, Romney, McCain, and Thompson.
The radio spot criticizes candidates that supported ‘amnesty for illegal aliens’ ‘out of control spending’ ‘nation building overseas’ and states that those policies were Bill Clinton’s.
It also states that Ron Paul never voted for a tax increase or unbalanced budget, voted against amnesty for illegal aliens, and voted against nation building over seas.

On the heels of a St. Anselm College poll showing Ron Paul in fourth place with 7 percent in New Hampshire, the candidate is starting to spend some of those millions he’s raised with radio ads and an upcoming TV ad. But Paul is also stepping up efforts in direct mail. The campaign put together a 12-page biographical pamphlet being mailed out in New Hampshire.

As the National Republican Congressional Committee noted in its memo  after a much closer than expected race in Massachusetts earlier this month, 2008 is going to be a "change" election. And right now, Ron Paul represents "change" more than any candidate. It is important for Republicans to understand how he's delivering that message, and not to dismiss it simply as the rantings of crazy people.
As I blogged in my original post on the matter, I feel that Redstate plays a strong, iconic role in the conservative blogosphere. For many, Redstate is the conservative blogosphere. By shutting off all Ron Paul comments/discussions they sent a very loud signal to all Ron Paul supporters -- even those that aren't crazy blog commenters and spammers -- that they were excluded from the discussion and were not wanted in the Republican Party.

Though the campaign isn't releasing the first ad until Monday, Paul spokesman Jesse Benton described it to CBS News: "We set up some man on the street interviews with New Hampshire citizens, and we film them talking about Ron and why they like him, why he's appealing," he said.
The first spot will be followed by "some commercials with Ron himself talking about his positions," says Benton. As the New York Times notes, the campaign has purchased airtime for six weeks for its five new commercials, at a cost of $1.1 million.

Why? Because not only is he the only Republican in the contest who is against unnecessary and unconstitutional wars overseas, but because he actually follows the constitution. Young people eagerly support him and much of his support, perhaps as much as 70%, comes from the 20-30 age demographic. They are afraid for the future of this country and that they will have to give more and more of their money to the federal government to manage for them.
And if the dowdy Mrs. Clinton (or is it Rodham-Clinton; so hard to keep track) is elected, then that is exactly what will happen. She wants to institute socialized healthcare dubbed Hillary-Care, based on solid Marxist –Leninist principles to redistribute wealth, and institutionalize central planning and control.

CBSNews.com: And do you think there is any chance of that happening? Ron Paul: Not much.

And of course, these newcomers haven’t earned any respect. You can’t  respect someone merely for being human. Humans can’t have valid opinions when they first sign up for a blog such as RedState, at least not about Ron Paul. People coming into such a blog can’t come into it with some sort of preconceived ideas that they’ve developed simply by living in the real world. Oh no, they have to be exposed to the blog’s indoctrination period of six months. They have to show that they can submit to the blog’s propaganda for that period of time so that they can show they have the ability to think like those already on the blog before they can talk about Ron Paul. But, again, it’s RedState’s blog and it’s obviously much more comfortable for those using it to think that everyone believes as they do.

In the last two weeks, Mr. Paul — a Republican presidential candidate —  has spent nearly a half-million dollars on radio advertisements in four early primary states, the first major media investment of his campaign. On Tuesday night, he will take a seat opposite Jay Leno.
And on Monday, a campaign spokesman said, he will roll out his first major television advertising campaign, spending $1.1 million on five new commercials to be shown in the New Hampshire market for the next six weeks. (In contrast, Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and a rival for the Republican nomination, has yet to commit to any spending for television advertisements.)

Congressman Ron Paul stands alone among the current presidential contenders in opposition to the authoritarian agenda. Where so many other politicans have paid lip-service to Christian, liberty-friendly values while on the campaign trail, only to betray those ideals once elected, Congressman Paul has established a firm reputation as a statesman and a man of the highest personal integrity, one who refuses to compromise our liberties and the Constitution that enshrines them, and who actually lives by the values he claims to cherish. Not since Ronald Reagan have we been presented with a candidate for president would restore respect for constitutional rule in Washington and would protect the values that Christians hold dearest.

On Thursday, Mitt Romney called for a “bombardment” of Iran, action  sure to be add to the mounting cost of war in the Middle East. To date, the United States has spent approximately $604 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan alone, and over 4,000 American lives have been lost.

If the polls are accurate it could mean that Ron Paul’s message that ‘Freedom unites people’ is working. Paul’s uncompromising defense of the Bill of Rights is making him a Civil Rights leader in his own right.

Or at least "beat" in terms of "not get trounced quite as badly."
Sure, overall she is seen beating Ron Paul 48-38--but beating Thompson even more, by 52-37. And in both the 30-39 and 40-49 year old age groups, this poll shows Paul getting higher vote percentages in a one-on-one against Hillary than even Rudy Giuliani.
