Ron Paul: Americas last hope?

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles...107ronpaul.htm



Ron Paul: Next President Of The USA?
Texas Congressman enjoys support across political spectrum, anti-war pro-freedom hero represents America's last hope

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet
Friday, January 12, 2007



Ron Paul's office has confirmed reports that the Texas Congressman is set to run for the 2008 Presidency. Paul unites opposition to the war and the police state at home across the entire political spectrum and in contrast to the current gaggle of criminals running the White House, represents everything that America truly stands for. A gargantuan effort in support of Ron Paul needs to be mobilized now to prevent Americans from being hoodwinked once again into electing a different puppet of the same dark establishment in 2008.

Paul first ran for President as the Libertarian candidate in 1988, receiving a massive 400,000 votes. He now commands the support of those all across the political spectrum, from libertarians through anti-war Democrats to real paleoconservative Republicans.

Paul has been in and out of Congress since the 70's and is universally hated by the Republican elite, who routinely back Democrats against him just to try and get him out of office. The former Vietnam flight surgeon is the perfect candidate for President and activists from every corner of every political persuasion should mobilize now in an attempt to help Paul shatter the power monopoly of the Republican and Democrat establishment who have worked together for decades to slit America's throat in the interests of power, greed, and ego - all working towards the realization of a new world order.

The Texan represents a dying breed in Congress, those who actually cast their votes in accordance with the Constitution and not at the discretion of lobbyists or the fear that the elite will tarnish their political careers if they don't continually support the establishment. As a result Ron Paul is the elite's worse nightmare, simply having him on the ticket itself will be a massive public relations blow, and that's why media organs will probably be activated to try and discredit him before 2008.

Paul was one of only a handful of Republicans to vote against the illegal invasion of Iraq, contenting rightly that the Constitution clearly states that only Congress can declare war. In bucking a trend, Paul was anti-war long before the majority of the country came around to a similar way of thinking following the catastrophe of the occupation.

While Democrats soft-peddle and cozy up to Bush, creating phony arguments about the level of troop presence in Iraq and ignoring the majority will of the country to bring the troops home immediately, Ron Paul's opposition to unnecessary wars of intervention has remained steadfast throughout his entire political career.

If a gargantuan effort is made from now until the end of 2008 to heighten Paul's media profile and forward him as America's last hope, he truly has a significant chance of giving Jeb Bush, Rudy Giuliani or whichever elitist puppet the Republicans choose to put forward a real run for their money.



At the very least it's a chance to attract attention to some serious issues and hold the establishment's feet to the fire. But with the favor of the political landscape continually swinging away from the scam repeatedly run by the Republicrats and Democans, we should really start off on a positive footing and consider the fact that Ron Paul, though still an underdog, has a real chance of becoming the next President.

According to the Associated Press, "Paul bills himself as "The Taxpayers' Best Friend," and is routinely ranked either first or second in the House by the National Taxpayers Union, a national group advocating low taxes and limited government."

On every single issue of national importance - borders, the war, limited government, U.S. sovereignty, tax and the federal reserve - Ron Paul stands for populist ideals that the country is screaming out for after seven years of hell under Bush, preceded by eight years of disgrace under Bill Clinton.

Ron Paul voted against the Patriot Act, opposes the draft, advocates the abolition of the income tax, urges the re-introduction of the gold standard, and stands against initiatives to strip the U.S. of its sovereignty such as CAFTA and the FTAA.

From reforming Marijuana laws to supporting an unregulated Internet, to supporting the 2nd amendment, Ron Paul hits home with keystone populist issues across the board.

During several appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Ron Paul has consistently upheld his commitment to civil liberties, slammed the militarized police state that Bush has created and also called for immediate impeachment proceedings to be brought against the current incumbent of the White House.

President Ron Paul could truly return America to the great nation it once was and his decision to run is an exciting development that we should all embrace and stand beside him in the fight to restore some form of dignity to the office of President that has been completely absent since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Yeah theres alot of good people running for the election in 09 I think it is. Sadly lol Bush is gonna leave them with Iran probably cause we heading against them in a few months for sure, also Iraq. Its gonna be nuts man I can't even imagaine the turmoil the world will be facing. Its like all the countries who are say christian viewing us as a bunch of Hindu's or some shit cause of what we gonna do in the near future in the middle east if it happens. Well I hope someone will stop the microchip that just freaks me out and the whole war's and the commotion between us with Korea, and Iran. We really need a leader who will give us a better stereotype. Most people don't like Bush worldwide in general.

Ron Paul is is one of the last principled politicians on the national scene, and possibly the only one with a consistent record of fighting for civil liberties.

If by some miracle he got the nomination, I'd vote for him.
Of course the fundamentalists in the GOP will eat him alive

I don't know, maybe some rich Donald Trump type person may choose to endorse him and just throw around a lot of interviews to anywhere that will take him.

It's terrifying being a Canadian, knowing that you have absolutely no input, yet the results will impact you immeasurably.

the guy's got my vote, that's for damn sure. i sincerely hope that some crazy billionaire sees what's going on and devotes all available resources to getting his name and his platform out there. i mean, i've got 26 dollars in my checking account right now, so it ain't comin from me.

What's more terrifying is being an american, screaming out about the degredation of our constitution, and people walking by saying, "hmmff. if it was really a big deal, it'd be all over the news." and then going about their day, punching their straight-democrat or straight-republican buttons on their voting machines.

I'll vote for him, but I doubt he'll make it through the primaries.

And to the post above me; yea, straight-ticket voters suck.
