Ron Paul got 16.17% of the votes in the Texas Straw Poll despite the fact that Ron Paul delegates were locked out and unable to vote. Some of the delegates were told to leave because they were not “properly dressed,” but when they returned they were told that it’s “too late.”

The reason the “poll” had such a low turnout compared to previous years, might have had something to do with the unadvertised 10pm “cut-off time” which left many of Dr. Paul’s supporters locked out from the voting.

Gotta wonder why they were so interested in limiting the number of people who can register. Looks to me like the GOP made sure the supporters of their favored candidates got in early and then cut off the voting after they got the votes they wanted. They are getting quite desperate to keep up the appearance that anyone really wants to vote for phony conservatives such as Duncan Hunter.

16.17% Ron Paul (217 votes)

Long before Mises and Rothbard, Lao-Tzu introduced libertarian ideas to China with the Tao Te Ching. Selections from that ancient book of philosophy illustrate the wisdom that would shape American policy under the administration of President Ron Paul.

From Chapter 17 of the Tao Te Ching: “In the highest antiquity, the people did not know that there were rulers. In the next age they loved them and praised them. In the next they feared them; in the next they despised them.”

Since 9/11, George W. Bush has run the gamut. Just after 9/11, he was loved and praised (by a country desperate for leadership); later he was feared (by Americans concerned about tyranny, not to mention the people of Iraq); and today he is despised by most of the world and the majority of his country. Lao-Tzu describes this process of degeneration over vast ages of history – for Dubya, it took about three or four years. Read the rest of this entry »

During Ron Paul’s appearance on Neil Cavuto, they tried their damnedest to make Ron Paul look bad, by associating him with violence and anti-police sentiments, however they failed miserably.

Cavuto also made the bogus claim that the government could not operate without the “Income Tax” despite the fact that the government operated just fine until 1913, when the Federal Reserve Bank was created.

Dr. Paul’s responses illustrated how civil disobedience, especially against the tax code, is the American tradition, a tradition which has helped to repeal bad laws many times before.

Wolf Blitzer said that the CNN-controlled debate was going to give all candidates equal time to respond to each question. In-fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Obvious media bias was geared towards the “top tier” demagogues like “Ghouliani”, “double the size of Guantanamo Romney” and “torture is bad unless if I vote for it McCain.”

Despite all of this, and in contravention to the “wisdom” of CNN’s and other MSM “analysts,” Ron Paul won almost every online poll, indicating that the public believes that he won the debate.

The much-vaunted Senate “compromise” on immigration is a compromise alright: a compromise of our laws, a compromise of our sovereignty, and a compromise of the Second Amendment. That anyone in Washington believes this is a credible approach to solving our immigration crisis suggests just how out of touch our political elites really are.

The reality is that this bill will grant amnesty to virtually all of the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in the country today. Supporters use very creative language to try and convince us that amnesty is not really amnesty, but when individuals who have entered the United States illegally are granted citizenship – regardless of the fees they are charged – what you have is amnesty.

Here is an audio recording of Ron Paul on the Dennis Miller Show on May 30, 2007. During the interview, they discuss abortion, eminent domain, and the Iraq war.

Dennis says that he agrees with Dr. Paul on most of the issues except for the war. On that subject Dennis holds the arcane and debunked neo-con view that “we have to kill them or they will kill us.” Which is similar to the line of blarney used by war-mongers during the Vietnam war.

Video: The View Discusses Ron Paul

Joy Behar, Rosie O’Donnell and guest Chandra Wilson debate Elisabeth Hasselbeck over Ron Paul and why we need to re-think foreign policy. Proof that Ron Paul gets people talking and is our only hope for real leadership.

Wrote Casey Khan:

“Ron Paul is everywhere. Today my wife and I were looking for a new minivan for our growing family. There was a tv on at the dealership. While I was chasing the 3 year old around, my wife yelled, ‘check this out.’ Lo and behold, on the horrid daytime tv show The View, I see a gigantic picture of Ron Paul behind the hosts, a blond, a red head, and a brunette. The blond was huffing and puffing the warparty line about Paul’s heroic statements critiquing American foreign policy. The red head came back and explained how Ron was merely explaining and critiquing the policy, not blaming the American people nor justifying murder by the terrorists. That’s all I saw since I had to make sure my son wasn’t destroying Toyota property. My wife told me the segment went on for about 5 minutes, with the infamous Rosie O’Donnell coming to his defense [that can’t be helping Ron with conservatives]. In any case, it was great to see Dr. Paul’s foreign policy of freedom discussed, of all places, on daytime tv.”

The yellow journalists are doing a fine job of exposing their true intent, which is to bungle any chance that America has to return to a constitutional republic, yes it is the MAINSTREAM MEDIA which hates America, not Ron Paul.

It is chilling to watch the reporters say that “Ron Paul Blames America” and other such nonsense, when he was merely making the same point that the CIA made in its reports regarding America’s foreign policy’s effect on world opinion. Read the rest of this entry »

Pundits & Candidates Seek to Exile Statesman from Republican Party– In Spite of Leading Poll Numbers– Over His Anti-Torture, Anti-War and Anti-Tax Standpoint

Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones / Jones Report | May 15, 2007

Congressman Ron Paul shook the establishment in last night’s second round of 2008 Republican debates for the Presidency. Not only did his anti-war, anti-torture and pro-liberty platform stand glaring in the face of those political whores dubbed as “top-tier” but he managed to catch the ire of 9/11 criminal Rudy Giuliani for daring to suggest aggressive foreign policy would stir up blowback.

What’s worse, Ron Paul interrupted the worship of establishment-selected candidates by winning the debate’s own poll and forcing FOX to cover the mere “second-tier” candidate– a distinction mainstream media have been using to marginalize those outside of direct control.

Ron Paul’s performance in his second debate victory– as moderators repeatedly suggest he doesn’t belong in the Republican party

Ron Paul garnered approximately 20 minutes of air-time on Fox alone last night– including about 10 minutes of debate questions and another 10 minutes composed of attacks and dismissals by pundits, other candidates and an interview with Hannity & Colmes. Read the rest of this entry »
