		<description>Spread the word of the RonPaulBlimp.com It started as a small idea in the RonPaulForums and has grown into a full scale 90% complete project.  This is huge and will coincide with the Tea Party even Dec.16.  Spread the word to help in contribute. The goal is close to completion for one of the largest Blimps in the world piloted for 100 hours during the month of Dec, and open to keep flying if money keeps comming in.  Its going to fly over events like the Super Bowl, and NYC, the Tea Party, and many other rallys and media events. The president of AirShipman.com and turns out to be a huge RP supporter and is cutting us an amazing deal. Anyway research it, spread the word, and help get the Ron Paul Zeppelin in the air traveling across the country</description>

		<description>For anyone who wants to plaster America with Ron Paul signs you can get cheap ones on Ebay:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=160128309712

No, I don&#039;t sell them and I just bought some.  But I&#039;ve been looking for this and am sure lots of other people are also.  Put them up near freeway entrances and lets show our neighbors that &#039;We aren&#039;t just the Internet!&quot;</description>

		<description>Ioana asks:

&gt;How can a guy who has not supported a single free-trade bill can 
&gt;be called a defender of freedom? WHat about my freedom to 
&gt;commerce with anyone i want? 

It is precisely because those bills did not represent free trade.  They represented *managed* trade.  A free trade bill should only need to be a few lines - maybe a paragraph - in length.  These so-called &quot;free trade&quot; bills ran into hundreds of pages, and defer sovereignty to a international governing board.

&gt; How can a guy who wants to go back to the gold standard be trustable? 

Because gold can&#039;t be promised into creation.  It has to actually exist. From that standpoint, gold is inherently trustworthy.  It is only those who come to you with greenbacks and dollars that can default on their promises.

&gt; How can a guy that adheres to the loony RothbardÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s thesis on 
&gt; war and peace make me feel safe? 

He can&#039;t.  Rothbard isn&#039;t about safety; Rothbard is about freedom.  Once you have freedom, you can guarantee your own safety.  If you are waiting for some politician to make you feel safe, then you will have a long wait, and it will only be an illusion in the end.

		<description>Russell Kirk, the father of american conservatism, wrote, 40 years ago, a sensible text about Ron Paul and his supporters. It&#039;s called Chirping Sectaries:

http://emp.byui.edu/DavisR/202/Libertarians.htm

And if anyone really thinks that Ron Paul is a conservative, just take a look at his ratings. All of them: taxpayers, government contractors, conservatives and liberals interest groups. Then, take your own conclusions.</description>

		<description>Hey TomfromMD,

I just gave that &quot;weirdo&quot; Ron Paul $2,300.  

I&#039;m 34 and have never donated money to a political campaign.  I didn&#039;t even bother voting in 2004.  

$2,300 is a lot of money for me.

I think people are going to be shocked at how much money Paul raises from people like me.</description>

		<description>if anyone doubts Dr. Pauls legitmacy and wider than the main stream reported support,  please consider this.

After the California debate, all major networks had polls straming on the newsbar immediately following the debate.  You can go to youtube or goog video and find a clip of Hannity lauding Ghouliani, while the poll results are going across the bottom of the screen showing that Paul winning.  Funny stuff.

Following the most recent debate, I flipped between CNN, HNN, FOX and MSNBC for about an hour following that debate....what was NOT streaming across the newsbar on ANY of these channels...and why?

its obvious to me!

		<description>Who IS Ron Paul? They still need to know!!
NOBODY explains Ron Paul
BETTER than Ron Paul himself!

Here is an interactive audio archive of
Ron Paul speeches and interviews as a resource in chronological
order.

http://www.ronpaulaudio.com

The power of mainstream media is well documented right here in this 2003 film.

		<description>TomFromMD: yet, Ron Paul is the only one who can win the White House for the Republicans next year.  None of the Republicans at the top so far can do it.  If they want to win, they need to choose Dr. Paul.

The rest of the party only looks at him in a weird way because he goes by this document called a &quot;Constitution&quot; that they&#039;ve never heard of nor thought of outside their oaths of office, in which they swear to uphold it.  The rest of the time, they like to rip it up and stomp on it when they don&#039;t just completely ignore it.</description>

		<description>Ron Paul has about as much chance of being our next president as Dennis Kucinich. Which is to say, zero. The bulk of the party views him as kind of strange. Like the weird guy at work who drinks too much coffee.</description>

		<description>I just want to let everyone know that I wrote a &quot;Who is Ron Paul?&quot; letter to the editor of my local newspaper today, and they are going to print it. I live in a non-metro area of my state and the newspaper covers a very large rural area. I urge everyone to write letters to your newspaper editors. (And please don&#039;t use form letters, they don&#039;t like to print those.)</description>

		<description>JimmyD, you&#039;re a little tiny silly sneaky Sammy.  I think you&#039;re clever and silly.  

I think inside you realize that it is the dumbest thing in the world to go on a pro-Paul discussion board and act like Paul supporters are just a few crazy tin-foil hatters, RIGHT AFTER READING THAT RON PAUL&#039;s campaign has raised upwards of THREE or FOUR MILLION!

I think you know that, and you&#039;re just trying to make anti-Paul people look stupid. 

I&#039;d put money on the fact that Jimmy the D is 100% pro-Paul and is just involved in the Pro-Paul conspiracy to paint the rest of the country as idiots. 

I spotted you Jimmy!  I can beat you up probably!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JimmyD, you&#8217;re a little tiny silly sneaky Sammy.  I think you&#8217;re clever and silly.  </p>
<p>I think inside you realize that it is the dumbest thing in the world to go on a pro-Paul discussion board and act like Paul supporters are just a few crazy tin-foil hatters, RIGHT AFTER READING THAT RON PAUL&#8217;s campaign has raised upwards of THREE or FOUR MILLION!</p>

		<description>He is the only non-interventionist candidate. This is such an important moral issue in light of our criminal invasion of Iraq that I support Paul even though I disagree with almost all his domestic platforms.

The 9-11 truth smear on Paul is proof the media are scared. He just points out the unspeakable truth: our atrocious, interventionist murder in other nations makes us hated.

RON PAUL FOR THE WIN 2008!</description>

		<description>I went public a few weeks ago here on CHB making an argument that Dr. Ron Paul is/was in fact, a viable candidate for the Republican Party Presidential Nomination.

I sited numerous polls that Dr. Paul had outright won after numerous debates. Now hereÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s the real milk of politics. Apparently Dr. Paul has one of the fastest growing campaigns according to funds raised. Check this out. It appears that, perhaps Dr. Paul has raised over 4 perhaps 5 million dollars since the debates. If this proves true, it moves Dr. Ron Paul into the top tier.

Dr. Ron Paul could surpass McCain in cash on hand by the next debate and Dr. Paul could raise over 10 million in a few more months. As a former fund raiser, it takes ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œcashÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚? to play this game.

Apparently Republicans want their Party back. This could be a start of a new Republican Revolution.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not fishy at all.

1) Internet-oriented people are more libertarian, so RP polls higher online.  I couldn&#039;t take part in one of these &quot;scientific polls&quot; if I wanted to - I don&#039;t have a land line, and if I did, I wouldn&#039;t answer a CallerID as &quot;Unknown&quot; or &quot;Rasmussen Inc&quot; or whatever shows up.  Admittedly, lots of those phone-answering old farts vote in both primaries and general elections - somebody&#039;s gotta tell Washington to keep the SS payments coming.

2) As &quot;Seer&quot; mentioned, even if 4/5 of Republicans love the war, that 4/5 split 4 ways (Rudy, McCain, Romney, Other) is 1/5.  Ron gets the 1/5 of antiwar all to himself, putting him on par with front runners.

3) Internet polls include Democrats and the disaffected - people who would not be useful in the primaries (unless they get inspired to register Republican), but could be very valuable in the general election (I don&#039;t see a democrat voting for Giuliani ever), so that bumps up RP&#039;s online numbers.

So it doesn&#039;t require a vast unix nerd conspiracy to account for this, just a couple common sense demographic observations.  It&#039;s not an overturning of the status quo; however, it is a small but real phenonmenon.

I also wonder (no I&#039;m not a &quot;truther&quot;) how these people all poo-poo the notion that there would be a conspiracy surrounding an event unique in American history that has drastically altered our foreign and domestic policy, yet a couple on-line poll blips and they scream &quot;conspiracy! conspiracy!&quot;

Lighten up, neocons - freedom doesn&#039;t suck as much as you think.</description>
