		<description>If he doesn't pull the nomination for the GOP he will be forced to run independent.  There is no way his supporters will let him off the hook that easily.  He will be so overwhelmed with pleas that we will be unable to ignore them.  Ron Paul, in whatever party, 2008!</description>

		<description>Spam is when one person sends a lot to a site, this is many people supporting one person and that person is Ron Paul. 

Ron Paul speaks the truth. The other candidates from both parties say what they think their party constituents want to hear. Ron Paul says what they need to hear. A leader should not be afraid to speak the truth. Others flip flop and change their opinions depending on who they are talking to or what office they are running for. Dr. Paul stands by his record because his values haven't changed. The first time I ever heard Dr. Paul was at the first Republican debate and he won me over then. It was so refreshing to hear the truth. I would not consider voting for any other candidate.</description>

		<description>I was going to start a meet-up group for Ron Paul in my town, but I was surprised to learn someone beat me to it.  Even here!  in smallish town S. Illinois.   Oh, how I love my country.  

Ron Paul R3VOLuton!  I will write him in if the republicans steal the nomination from him.  At this point, no matter what the elite polling says, Ron Paul has the numbers.  

Meet-up groups top three: #3-DraftGore (70) #2-Obama (77) and #1-Ron Paul with 741!!!</description>

		<description>@Jimmy the Dhimmi

Please explain to me how the Ron Paul comments are SPAM?
So you have thousands of Americans excited about voting FOR a candidate for the first time, or first time in a LONG time and you view that as a bad thing.  How sad.</description>

		<description>I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.  But overall, I feel that none of the other candidates offer anything new.  Without Ron Paul as President, it will be business as usual.  More government, more taxes, more illegal immigration, more war, etc.</description>

		<description>I have said before, both here and on my blog, that I support Paul's candidacy, see nothing but good coming out of it both for the country and the Republican party, support the effort to get moderate/libertarian leaning voters to &lt;a href="http://westanddivided.blogspot.com/2007/06/political-blogger-switches-party.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;register for Republican party primaries&lt;/a&gt;, and encourage people to contribute to his campaign. 

That said, &lt;i&gt;if/when&lt;/i&gt; Paul loses the nomination, &lt;i&gt;and if&lt;/i&gt; Chuck Hagel gets into the race, I hope Dr. Paul's supporters will give him serious consideration. While Hagel is not as doctrinate a libertarian as Dr. Paul,  he is closer to Paul's positions than any mainstream candidate in either party. 

Plus he has the practical advantage of being likely to be elected President if he can get past the Republican nomination process. As President, he would actually influence the issues that matter to Ron Paul supporters.</description>

		<description>Thank you for making this series of posts, you just gained a new reader.

anyway, one thiing i just realised is that the majority of people in this country are not very interested in politics, that being said i think it safe to assume that voter turn out for this election will be very poor because people think that it doesn't matter whom they vote for in the first place.

So, if there is a low voter turn out from the general public, and 100% turnout from every ron paul supporter (which i guarantee there will be if he gets the nomination)  um, see what i'm getting at?  mitt had to pay for peoples tickets and bus them across the state to get them to the straw poll in iowa, ron poll supporters drove themselves from all over the country, and their numbers grow every day.  yes it is a revolution.</description>

		<description>We should all get behind the Libertarian candidate if Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination. He is a libertarian and if you believe in his ideas and not just the man you have no other choice. All of the other candidates belong to the CFR and will take us down the same road to socialism and the new world order.</description>

		<description>I may be too tired at the moment to properly express my gratitude for this series but thank you, Justin, for doing it.  

I truly lost all faith in American voters -- and our future -- when they fell for the assassination of Howard Dean. Ironically, it was that campaign, and my utter disdain for the MSM, that lead me to watch CSPAN often, where I discovered Ron Paul.  Whereas Dean was a refreshing alternative to a frightful field, Paul stands alone as the manifestation of our most idyllic hopes of what a politician is supposed to be.  Obviously, I agree with neither of them on every issue but Paul is the only living public person that I have ever enduringly considered to truly be a hero. 

To understand this level of respect might require the many hours of watching him champion our rights and freedoms on the house floor -- as the other representatives file out to panhandle in the lobby before their ears begin to burn -- but it will only take a fraction of that commitment and respect for many to comprehend that Ron's participation negates the usual concept of "choice". This time there is an apple in the basket of oranges and that is something we've only read about in history.  Oh mighty mo, how we dooo want that apple. 

I got my fat-tip-Sharpie-pen ready to write in Ron's name before I even imagined he would actually run.  The responses in Justin's post gave me a great comfort that filled an emptiness I had ignored. Thanks to all the responders with steady hands and sturdy constitutions who would not stoop to support anything less (McCain?!? I poured my heart and soul into McCain when I was deathly afraid that G.W. Bush would get the GOP nomination. Straight talkin' Johnny rolled up like a bug! He shouldn't even be allowed in the Daily Show studio, much less the Oval Office. Take your pen with you and do the "wrong" thing the one time you'll get the chance. It's a minor task compared to our forefathers who had to do the "wrong" thing at both ends of a bayonet). 

Anyway, again, my thanks to Justin and the responders (if that's the name of a band, I did not intentionally infringe upon your trademark! :P)

Goodnight.</description>

Ironically, it was that campaign, and my utter disdain for the MSM, that lead me to watch CSPAN often, where I discovered Ron Paul.  Whereas Dean was a refreshing alternative to a frightful field, Paul stands alone as the manifestation of our most idyllic hopes of what a politician is supposed to be.  Obviously, I agree with neither of them on every issue but Paul is the only living public person that I have ever enduringly considered to truly be a hero. </p>
<p>To understand this level of respect might require the many hours of watching him champion our rights and freedoms on the house floor &#8212; as the other representatives file out to panhandle in the lobby before their ears begin to burn &#8212; but it will only take a fraction of that commitment and respect for many to comprehend that Ron&#8217;s participation negates the usual concept of &#8220;choice&#8221;. This time there is an apple in the basket of oranges and that is something we&#8217;ve only read about in history.  Oh mighty mo, how we dooo want that apple. </p>
<p>I got my fat-tip-Sharpie-pen ready to write in Ron&#8217;s name before I even imagined he would actually run.  The responses in Justin&#8217;s post gave me a great comfort that filled an emptiness I had ignored. Thanks to all the responders with steady hands and sturdy constitutions who would not stoop to support anything less (McCain?!? I poured my heart and soul into McCain when I was deathly afraid that G.W. Bush would get the GOP nomination. Straight talkin&#8217; Johnny rolled up like a bug! He shouldn&#8217;t even be allowed in the Daily Show studio, much less the Oval Office. Take your pen with you and do the &#8220;wrong&#8221; thing the one time you&#8217;ll get the chance. It&#8217;s a minor task compared to our forefathers who had to do the &#8220;wrong&#8221; thing at both ends of a bayonet). </p>
<p>Anyway, again, my thanks to Justin and the responders (if that&#8217;s the name of a band, I did not intentionally infringe upon your trademark! :P)</p>
<p>Goodnight.</p>

		<description>Richardson WAS the best of a bad lot of major party alternatives.  His fiscal record in NM was better than that of Republican governors like Huckabee and Romney.  He isn't an enemy of the Second Amendment, like Clinton or Giuliani.  He wants a complete withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, unlike Clinton, who would leave tens of thousands of troops.  He is an accomplished diplomat who wouldn't turn to war as a first option, unlike Romney or Giuliani.

Then he completely blew the libertarian-leaning independent vote he might have earned, by promising to spend the savings from a less belligerent foreign policy on a disastrous expansion of Medicare under the guise of a universal health plan.  So, don't worry, he won't be getting my vote.</description>

		<description>If by some chance Ron Paul does not enter as an independent (even though I hope he does), I believe we should ALL stay united and still write him in for the general election.  Remember, this is a rEVOLution!  Please do not throw your vote to someone you are not as enthusiastic about.  That just encourages the corrupt two party system that is making it so difficult for respectable men like Ron Paul to get elected.  The least we can do is stand behind him, make some noise, and keep his message of freedom and liberty alive for future generations.</description>

		<description>I think Vicky said it best "Ron Paul supporters are from all walks of life with a common bond of wanting to get back to the constitutional principals of the founding fathers. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents are finding Paul’s message of freedom and peace appealing."

Don't you see he could unite this country! we've been divided for far too long!</description>

		<description>Definitely only Ron Paul. Vote for any other candidate would only endorse their agenda hurting all of us, the people of America.

Is there any one from GOP or Democrats, who offer any chance of stopping the growth of government power, size and spending and could save us all from certain bankruptcy? 

Only other candidates, who deserve any respect are Mike Gravel and D Kucinich, but they would ruin the economy with socialist policy.</description>
