More and more are seeing through the fog of the political machine!

There is nothing that can stop the truth. Nothing.


God's speed, Ron Paul. God's speed!
The truth will set you free.

I wish more people brought the newsletters up. This has been great. People are losing credibility left and right trying to support some claim that Ron Paul, the least racist candidate in decades, is somehow a racist.
They are grasping at straws, even as they are gasping with disbelief at how America is finally waking up to the truth that Ron Paul is proclaiming to America. I'm sure that some research into the free medical care that Ron was dispensing to poor people who couldn't affort to pay, would find that some were minorities.

Have you checked the latest polls? You posted the NY Times poll that appeared 10 days ago. Things are changing too fast for anyone to even guess who the winner will be, but it is looking less and less like Paul will run away with it.

You're right. With each passing day, more of Ron Paul's past is coming back to bite him!

Paul cannot afford to lose Iowa (or get below 2nd). He needs that win to propel him into a good showing in NH. And then when we get to a closed primary in SC, Paul is done. He cannot win a closed Republican primary.

Ron Paul is living in a dream world.. the reality is we have to protect ourselves or our enemies will outnumber those who stand with us.. then we will be crushed.. World War 3 is not far away.

Ron Paul thinks he will make peace with the enemy even though they want to kill us with violent hatred put in action.

Our policies are the reason we have so many enemies.

The enemies the politicians say we have to protect ourselves from were created, nurtured and fed by us in the first place. To be sure, there will always be some radicals who dream of a worldwide Islamic caliphate, but as long as we don't change our foreign policy, we just add fuel to the fire and keep ensuring that they get to recruit more people to their cause. If we adopt a humble foreign policy, then while those radicals may or may not still want to hurt us, they will be hard-pressed to recruit others to their cause and their funds will also dry up. Unless you plan to kill off all 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, there will be no end to this. This vicious cycle will feed on itself and continue.

This is not rocket science. Keep your emotions aside and think with logic for a while.

Watch this if you get a chance:

I don't think any of them can win the general election in November. It's again: the devil you know is preferable to the devil you don't know" or The lesser of two evils".

It was once a given that if you don't vote it's unpatriotic. Considering the past three election cycles it's beginning to look like not voting is the ultimate act of patriotism.
