By Greg, February 7 at 4:54 am # Paul for the next President of the United States of America. Lets rebuild the world!! We can start by sending it’s people home with the great experiences from living in America, to build their own homes. Then rebuild the USA: Get rid of all insurance - it’s driving up the cost on it’s own. And all the ridiculous lawsuits. Refrigerate the water in Gt’Mo Bay, to say 33F. Overturn Roe v Wade, build Star Wars and get us on the moon and to Orion. No more corn syrup or sugar or preservatives or hormones or pesticides or fertilizers in our foods. Re-institute our national holidays, work from home, generate from solar. Freedom of Christian Religion - Pick _One_. Care for your neighbor and give him a boost-now: this morning!
By Steve, February 6 at 4:54 pm # Sheeple and more sheepleI go to a website entitled “Truthdig” in the hope of getting myself enlightened and what do I find. Just more sheeple - following the mainstream crap that has brought this country to financial ruin and the brink of facism. JohnD comments “Ron Paul won’t be around long"… The truth is my friend - Ron Paul has started a revolution that will not go away anytime soon, no matter how badly you and the mainstream media try to black him out. Have you ever wondered WHY they black him out? If he is such a loser, surely he doesn’t need to be denied mention as one of the FOUR GOP candidates left in the race? Have you heard the term “Grass Roots”? That’s what will keep the Ron Paul revolution and the search for truth and sanity going long after Ron Paul is dead. He may not get the nomination this time or ever - but that’s beside the point. His principles and his unfaltering belief in our constitutional rights is what makes them afraid of him. I cringe every time I talk to someone and they say “I like Ron Paul, but he doesn’t have a chance"… What the hell is that supposed to mean? I can only imagine that we Americans have become “SHEEPLE” who follow what seems to be popular because we want to be able to say we’re on the winning side. Of course he doesn’t have a chance if everyone feels that way and then don’t vote for him. And even when we do vote for him, they see fit to falsify the results like they have done in Iowa and other states. What people need to realize and embrace is that “if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting”. You can pray for Obama to win, campaign for McCain or Romney, even hope that Hilary doesn’t screw it up the way Bill did, but it’s all “just more of the same”, no matter which one gets elected. Ron Paul is the ONLY one that stands out SO MUCH from the rest of the sheeple, that people write him off as a kook. Except for those of us that THINK of course, those of us that REASON and apply LOGIC. McCain is a war-monger, Romney is a self-opinionated glory seeker, Huckabee is in the pockets of the neo-cons, and the Democrats - well - I think they’re in deep trouble. You see - no matter how much activity and interest there is in the Democrat race, when push comes to shove, is America really ready for a “black man” or a “woman” in the white house. I’m not a racist or a chauvanist - just a realist. That’s why I don’t kid myself that things will be okay with a president, Republican or Democrat, that will just give us “more of the same”. This country NEEDS a revolution and unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll find it at “Truthdig”.
By Steve, February 7 at 7:03 am # Re: Re: Sheeple and more sheepleA Red Herring???? A red herring is a metaphor for a diversion or distraction from an original objective. Just what is the original objective that you believe Ron Paul to be a Red Herring for? Ron Paul’s objective is and has always been to fight for the Republican nomination. In so doing, he is the only one that has been 100% consistent. They’ve made fun of him, laughed at him and called him a kook - yet he’s stuck to his guns. Unlike the others, he hasn’t chopped and changed his stance on the war, the economy, illegal immigration, taxes, the Fed and especially the constitution. So how do you figure him to be a red herring? His record is impeccable and he’s the only one that wants to put a complete end to the erosion of your personal freedom and constitutional rights. Stop for a second and evaluate ALL OF THE CANDIDATES - both Democrats and Republicans - and then tell me which candidate is the ONLY one for REAL CHANGE - not just more of the same junk as before, thinly disguised as change. One day, all you sheeple will wake up and find yourselves living in a modern day Nazi Germany and you’ll wonder WHY? Google the following and be afraid… very afraid. 1. Council For Foreign Relations Ron Paul vehemently opposes ALL of the above. Have a nice day - there are relatively few of them left before the last of our freedom is legislated away because the sheeple don’t think!

By Andrew Ian Murphy, February 6 at 10:59 am # Please God let Obama win!If I have one prayer, this is it.
By Cam, February 6 at 2:53 pm # Go HillaryWe love Hillary. Hopefully she can knock some sense into this country!
By bob davis, February 6 at 8:26 pm # Re: Go HillaryI hope she gets in. I am a young mother and at $5000.00 per kid I can make about 15 babies in my liftime! Go Hillary!!!
By Serve some value, February 5 at 10:28 pm # Re: Truth?blue eagle, u serve no value why leave a coment so pointless, why are you talking? You are an ignorant idiot who thinks he can’t learn by some of the most aclaimed authors and politicians of america today. I don’t think this website assumes there are pure idiots reading it who don’t think someone like Hukabee is running. You actually think that some picture is gonna really effect people’s views on which candidate they should vote for? and a responce to your first coment “i like to hear the truth” if you had any brains you would realize thats the truth on who voted for who. You should learn not to type a comment when it is as pointless and ignorant as your last one. so before you act like a fool keep it to yourself, thank you
By Bellomachina, February 6 at 9:10 pm # Re: Re: Truth?Nice backlash. However, next time you try to sound so high and mighty, you might want to focus a little more on spelling. Bello Machina ~ the gears shall always grind…
By UnimportantCanadian, February 5 at 8:37 pm # Re: Truth?While it’s true that Ron Paul has made some impressive strides (at least fund-raising-wise) thus far, I don’t think he is having enough of an impact vote-wise to raise your ire, justifiably. Huckabee, ok, but not Paul. Add Your Comment |
