As far as being a robot is concerned wouldn't it be more mindless to just listen to people like shawn hannity and rudy gulliani who want us to believe that the rest of the world hates us for our freedom, or that we bear no responsibility for the way that the people of the middle east feel about us. Regardless of the foreign policy decisions that our government has made like giving saddam hussein the very gas that he used to kill his own people, or helping to install the shaw of Iran, or any of the other crazy things that we do to 'protect our "national interests" (oil).

Ron Paul is offering us the first step to restoring the Republic. Yes, we're a little over-excited about a candidate that protects our natural rights, but I feel that should be understood in the face of some much federal abuse. It's refreshing to say the least. So many people are convinced to think that large-government programs protect their freedom, and that we NEED these programs or else our standards of living will fall, are clearly ignorant of our natural rights. I understand this will be a difficult shift for the majority of the public. However, unless we do something now, the corruption in D.C. will run unchecked. Ron Paul is the only honest candidate...

Time has really changed our country from what it was meant to be. It happened little by little while few people really noticed. Nobody could steal liberty and freedom all at once, it happened little by little over time. I think Ron seems drastic to some because he wants to restore what was lost quite quickly....these are things such as the IRS and federal income tax that have been around since 1913, and newer items such as medicare etc....basically these are things people who are alive now are used to, but they should not think these things are correct in my opinion simply because it is what has been around in their lifetime. I say restore the republic, bring back the constitutional rule of law, and god bless Ron Paul....he has my vote. Again, I am NOT a robot, I am a 33 year old guy living in the Cleveland Ohio area who thinks what we have now is a mistake. DJ, I am not a robot…..I love this guy Ron Paul.

After years of lies from our elected politicians and our government, maybe America is ready for the truth. Ron Paul needs our energy - spreading the word to our friends, neighbors, and family. And in order to win the nomination, let's face it, he needs your money and mine. Give as much as you can - money talks in politics - no amount is too small. He is up against candidates funded by big business, big banks, and the military-industrial complex.

The people now know that both parties have no interest in what most of the American people want or need but instead what is good for them. Congressman Ron Paul with a long history of where stands makes you RESPECT him. And is is a sad thought to think about when the last time you RESPECTED the President of the United States.

That would be the majority between the parties folks...Republican or not, I think Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate for either party making the most sense in all the important issues, not "lets invoke emotional reactions in the masses by talking about 9/11" ad infinitum. What I really like about that fact, is that after looking back at his track record he has ALWAYS held his beliefs to be just, and has never flip-flopped on an issue. Thats the kind of man I want running things. I would say I’m more demo in my views, but as recent polling has pointed out, 38% of Americans call themselves independents.
