		<description>2nd in Nevada, (1st 2nd or 3rd in Louisiana depending on what the ..ahem...&quot;results&quot; that state &quot;decides&quot; to release...if at all...)  If Giuliani is out after Florida that leaves only 4 Candidates, and lets not forget Huckabee&#039;s having money issues.  So is the Ron Paul revolution over?  Big no on that.  Even if he makes it to be one of the top 3 candidates, how can anyone say he was a flash in the pan, or a anomaly.  Good for him!!</description>

		<description>I guess we&#039;re only &quot;reasonable&quot; if we&#039;ve given up on the campaign, eh?  Oh well,  I guess I just can&#039;t be reasoned with then.  I&#039;ll worry about the future of the movement when the election results are announced.  Until then, I&#039;ll keep believing that in America, anything can happen...

...and it has.  American history is full of long shot candidates who found their way in against all odds.</description>

		<description>Canada&#039;s PM Brian Mulroney isn&#039;t a great role model for libertarians or conservatives, but he did know politics. One piece of advice he&#039;d give in a situation like this is, &quot;You dance with the lady that brung ya.&quot;

The RevolUTION united to support the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. IMO, it should continue to support the Ron Paul 2008 campaign until that campaign is over. After that, I hope, it will continue and turn its attention to capturing some seats in Congress in 2010. 2012 will be early enough to start thinking about another presidential candidate with a newsletter-free (and blog-free) past. There&#039;ll have to be one then; at 72, this is Dr. Paul&#039;s last hurrah -- and I&#039;m all for letting him take his best shot at it.</description>

		<description>Ron Paul is no authoritarian, at the state level or anywhere.  Look up &quot;Ron Paul&#039;s freedom principles&quot; on his Congressional website -- they are 100% libertarian.  He IS pro-life, because he thinks the unborn baby is a separate human life, endowed by God with the rights to life and liberty, just as the mother is.</description>

		<description>54,000 votes in the Michigan primary is a pretty strong sign that the Revolution is far from over.  In precincts with precinct captains, turnout was double that of other precincts -- apply that math nationwide, and 6-10% could turn into 12-20%, which would have a big impact on his perceived viability, as could a strong showing in Nevada this Saturday.</description>

		<description>Is there really a media blackout or is there something the Ron Paul campiagn could be doing differently to get more coverage?

I would love to see some articles in a MSM publication analyzing the movement that surrounds Ron Paul.  There is a big awakening going on that is being ignored.  Thimgs like the blimp get little to no notice, imagine if the blimp was emblazoned with google Hillary - it would get hours of coverage each day on Fox and CNN, with hourly updates of it&#039;s latest location.

Ron Paul may not be the perfect candidate, but he is the best one we have running by far.  It is way too early in the whole primary process to talk of where to go from here or talk about defeat.  

Besides that the pillars of power in this country are directly threatened by Ron Paul the other factor that makes it hard for the campaign to gain traction is that a vast majority do not understand where  money comes from and how inflation is a hidden tax.  Real change is uncomfortable and takes time for people to grasp.  

What we need is for Ron Paul supporters to get off the internet for a few hours and do some real work for the campaign getting out the vote and introducing our neighbors to Ron Paul and his ideas.  Like many of you I think I am right and Ron Paul is the way to go, but I respect dissenting opinions as long as they are backed up by reasoning and thought and not imagined support based on lack of thought and misinformation.</description>

		<description>You asked the wrong question.  &quot;Where do we go from here?&quot;  Well, Ron Paul&#039;s still running, we still have a campaign to fight, we still have people to influence and thoughts to propound.  That&#039;s where we go.  One step at a time.  When Ron Paul withdraws, then it&#039;ll be time for your question.</description>

		<description>Are you kidding me?!
The Ron Paul revolution is just beginning.  And whether he becomes our next President or not, the freedom movement is about America waking up... 

Turn off your TV and do your own research, use the computer at your local library if you don&#039;t have one, because you will be in the dark if you depend on mainstream media for truthful information.  Do it for your children and your country.

I&#039;ve never been interested in politics until now. And I&#039;m still not interested in typical, corporate-lobbyist owned politicians.  But the Constitutional rights and liberties that are mine, the way our forefathers fought to protect them, all the inspiring individuals who sacrificed so I could experience this freedom today....
I can get excited about that.  And I&#039;m not about to give them up because the gov&#039;t expects us to sit down and be quiet while those rights are stripped from us.

Ron Paul cured my apathy!</description>

		<description>No it is not over.  Who says it is over?  Wake up sheeple.  This movement is not going to stop.  Ron Paul started something and it does not end with him becoming or not becoming president.  People are becoming inspired and expect for many years to be discussing these revolutionary ideas, while the economy is getting worse.</description>

		<description>I find it ironic that we could &quot;never&quot; expect Dr. Paul in the White House because of some unsubstantiated newsletters, yet we could allow

any of those four candidates who made it on the Judicial Watch&#039;s list of 10 most corrupt politicians:

Hillary Clinton
Obama
Rudy
Mike Huckabee

Come on!</description>

		<description>Note to author:  how can a movement that is based on individual liberty and freedom be over?  One does not put these ideas back into a box.   The fact that the public has been getting scammed for years is only recently getting some exposure with Paul&#039;s candidacy.  The ideas spread, and people spread them, and we move on.  Whether Ron Paul is the benefactor of the movement remains to be seen. But, what kind of other &quot;movement&quot; is out there?  A Romney movement?  A Giuliani movement?  A Clinton movement?  What grand philosophy do these candidates espouse?  About all they offer is more statist control, gimmes, handouts, and protectionism.  That works well when there is something to give and to protect.  That illusion is fading.  And yes, there is constant reinforcement from the TV box and the pollster empire about who will win.  Soon, these nuisances will be diminished in importance or gone altogether.  Soon, we will be looking for something larger than a phony promise or a campaign smile.  When?  Who knows?  But the movement is not over.  Actually, it will grow.  History tells us this.</description>

		<description>I think this post is fair. I gave money to Paul. I think the damaging thing in my mind is that he made money on the things. Putting that issue aside and looking at the future.

I don&#039;t see much hope for it this time around. Paul could control this, do the politically correct thing and perhaps say we talked about that issue months ago and stonewall. In such a fragmented Republican field I wouldn&#039;t give him 0 chance but it was a long one.

I just hope that this issue, which I don&#039;t believe has much to do with the man himself or his stances in congress over 20 years, will overshadow what is right about him.

In my mind what is right is the foreign policy, and individual rights stuff. I&#039;m not a pure Austrian economist. He is right though that we have to deal with the entitlement system. I want people to actually talk about these things and I am tired of both sides being married either to the entitlement system or the military-industrial complex. Let me say that again: sick. I&#039;m tired of being taxed to kill people, I&#039;m tired of being taxed to pay for inefficient and bad government services.

I like that Paul is a total outsider when it comes to the foreign policy. 

Will there be another Paul? It will be hard. You see as the wacko point out, they gave him the push to get enough attention be noticed, by the people who aren&#039;t brain dead or brain washed.

I think things are probably over, but I think everyone took notice of the numbers of people who gave him money, and that there just aren&#039;t that many conspiracy folks out there. 

Sorry there are a lot of us who want real changes not the imaginary ones the democrats talk about, which to me sound like the same old boring rhetorical changes.</description>

<p>Will there be another Paul? It will be hard. You see as the wacko point out, they gave him the push to get enough attention be noticed, by the people who aren&#8217;t brain dead or brain washed.</p>
<p>I think things are probably over, but I think everyone took notice of the numbers of people who gave him money, and that there just aren&#8217;t that many conspiracy folks out there. </p>
<p>Sorry there are a lot of us who want real changes not the imaginary ones the democrats talk about, which to me sound like the same old boring rhetorical changes.</p>

		<description>Considering the NAACP backs Paul, I&#039;d say he still has a chance to win.  If this can get some press coverage.

		<description>Well, for one thing Paul supporters can&#039;t read. Here&#039;s the &lt;a href=&quot;http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/MI.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Michigan results page from the NYT&lt;/a&gt;. Yep, there&#039;s Ron Paul. After reading yet again the rants and conspiracy theories I would like to suggest that the appropriate name for Ron Paul supporters should be the Straight Jacket Brigades. The more I read from them the less impressed I am and the less convinced of their sanity.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about your Rights and Freedoms Jim S. stated

&quot;So if a Ron Paul paradise were to come about all you have to do in order to have basic rights is to uproot yourself and move away from a place you used to be happy in? All you have to do is hope that you can find a state that wonâ€™t follow the path the one you currently live in followed in restricting individual rights and hope you can find work there? All you need to do is come up with the money to afford that? Justin, are you aware of the costs of moving nowadays?&quot;

A Ron Paul paradise?  You criticize while making the argument to support Ron Paul.  This is about the Constitution.  Remember the document providing you the rights and freedoms.  The document stating ONLY Gold and Silver to be used as legal tender.  Why do you think it costs so much to move?  Ignore some of it and all is ignored.  
We supporters realize this you will soon.</description>

		<description>The problem with Ron Paul is that his idea if elected would move up side down every one successful in the current system.  Look how many people got rich from bankers to contactors on the last housing buble.  So why whould they want a change?  Ofcourse they did not study austrian econnomy, insted, they got educated how to make monay and get rich in our monetary system. Did you read Rich Dad Poor Dad or the books by Donald Trump? or the great advertising how to work 4h a day and get rich etc etc, All teaches how to make most of the paper money and speculations with out any kwnoladge.

Ron Paul&#039;s idea would prevent such techniques and allow to get rich only by hard working, by beeing bright and educated.  If you are lazy you have null</description>

		<description>Why does everyone strive to prove Ron Paul cant win? They must be dieing for someone to come out and say he cant. Well folks im here to say there is no proof that he can or cant win but it seems people from other sides are more worried about Ron Paul than their own candidate which proves they are attacking the Ron Paul movement and it&#039;s threat on their party!!! If Ron Paul has no chance why waste your time trying to kill it? After all he is just a nobody beating the &quot;Top Tier&quot; nobody&#039;s. Lets face it folks Ron Paul is in this race til the end and he may just end it by stepping into the White House.</description>

		<description>Ron Paul is a real threat to a lot of people -- but not because of anything wrong he&#039;s done in the past or will do in the future.

Even as he knocks former &quot;front-runner&quot; Guiliani and former &quot;contender&quot; Thompson to the back of the line in the 3rd primary, he is still blatantly being ignored by the media except for 20 year old smear tactics.

How could the Ron Paul Movement be &quot;over&quot; if it never existed? According to what the news stations and mainstream newspapers would have you believe, he never even existed; but mainly they (and people with an agenda, like you) just want him to go away quietly. You wish.

Your attempts to silence and tarnish Ron Paul only make us grow stronger and more willful. We will prevail.</description>
