    hmmmm......nobody has heard from Paul in three weeks? Nothing of substance from the campaign in 3 weeks?

    And at the end of the article he suggests supporters contact Paul for guidance.

    Ugggghhhhh.....I got this picture in my head of a real old movie that shows every Easter....

    THE TEN COMMANDMENTS....with all these supplicants bowing down to some idol


    and I think Mia got it right when he asked about the money. Paul is still asking for donations on his campaign website.

    As of end of January he was plus $6 million. So if he hasn't done anything for 3 weeks...which is most of February...and he has all this cash....and he is still raising money.......


    WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING TO GO?

    Yeah uh the Democrat and Republican parties kind of backed, funded, and ran some youngsters against Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich in their local congressional districts. The media backed the challengers, but Dennis and Ron must be popular at least locally because both Paul and Kucinich won comfortably.

    Unlike most of the corrupt scumbag politicians I think that Paul will be honest with what he does with the money mate.

    Maybe he will donate the money to McPain so you Americans can have another 100 years f**king up the Middle East if he get's the Prez call. :p

    Funny how these biased neocons never mentioned all the special interest group donations that their puppet candidates are getting. Semms like most of them only care that the status quo of the elite ruling the masses remain intact. I however choose to remain a real american and remember the country our foundaing father founded. Do you think they would recognize it today????????????

    I'm guessing it will be used to support "Ron Paul Republican" candidates for the House and Senate.

    That is incorrect.

    AFAIK, Paul is still going to the national convention, there are a lot of costs involved in that.

    :)

    If I didn't know better, I would think you are starting to worry.

    It was a Paul supporter who wrote the article and who said that nobody has heard from Paul in three weeks.

    Maybe you should read the article.

    I did. The Nolan Chart publishes libertarian articles, and not all libertarians support Ron Paul.

    Just because says they are a Ron Paul supporter, doesn't mean they really are. I've seen a lot of Senior Forum Members banned from RPF for being sleeper trolls, going back to May and June 2007.

    The revolution is continuing, quietly. In some cases, so quietly barely anyone is noticing...

    Unlike every other campaign that closes shop....Ron Paul continues to ask for money. He does that while saying....he'll only travel to places and "spend that money" if he deems it worthwhile.

    He also plugged a book for sale.

    While he speaks about a revolution for change, doesn't tie himself to be its leader, thereby relieving himself from responsability or expenses, doesn't want to be tied financially or responsably to a national day in Washington DC but suggested a good date for it, urges folks to continue to press forward with his ideology, the guy likes other people's money.

    I got this picture of Elmer Gantry. Looks good, sounds good....likes taking other people's money.

    Have you guys ever thought that he is hanging in there because the only two left are McCain and RP.

    If something happens to McCain, who is left?

    This is just the beginning. It started with RP but the people in his movement will start organizing the millions of followers he has and vote the pro RP politicians into power, therefore indirectly give the power back to the people, and incredible as it may seem, one day we will have politicians that arent supported by special interest groups??????? I guess that never bothered the neocons here:D

    More falsehoods by all the special interest candidate groupies here. Its incredible how low some people here will lower themselves.the guy has the guts to go against the elite and special interest groups and their groupies(some on this thread) that follow them around like sheep and your gonna accuse a man with an impeccable voting around who never flip-flops on the issues no matter how much he is bribed to walk away with the peoples money? I think these people have entrusted RP with this money because they know all about his intregity. Its too bad you guys cant say even 1% of that for any of these puppets you are voting for.

    Let's just wait and see.
    They are all the same. Ron Paul is no different.
    Money is on top of everything :)

    I'd be happy if Ron Paul kept in there to the bitter end. It will wake more of the dopey sheeple up the longer he stays in.

    How anyone can get behind Insane McPain, HillDog and Obomber is beyond me. :confused:

    I've thought about that also. It's probably time to read up on the rules of the Republican party regarding such issues.

    Paul's supporters are an emotionally unstable group. It's easy to believe that at least one of them might take a shot at McCain if they thought it could give the nomination to their idol.

    Amen to that!

    I would take it further, and argue that only confused or dishonest libertarians support Ron Paul.

    There are two reasons to believe this:

    1. Real libertarians love liberty. (duh) Ron Paul professes to love liberty, but his actions make it clear that he loves liberty only for himself and his chosen followers. He is against the liberty to travel and work for Mexicans. He is against helping our Arab brothers to achieve liberty. He is against free trade agreements which improve liberty for citizens of all nations involved. In short, Ron Paul is a poser -- a populist in libertarian disguise.

    2. Many, if not most, of the Ron Paul supporter I run into were -- until they found their new idol -- democrats/leftists/liberals/socialists/communists/etc... Their views haven't changed, only the way they talk about them has changed. They have no real grounding in or understanding of libertarian philosophy.

    I've exposed you a few times as a bogus libertarian Will. I suppose you were just filling the vacuum with some more BS in during my short absence.

    Are you saying Murray Rothbard was confused/dishonest? Gary Johnson?

    Gimme a break.

    Ron Paul is not against liberty to travel or work for Mexicans. He realizes however that they have no claim on you or I for welfare when they want to travel or work. They also deserve no special treatment for breaking the law, and jumping ahead of legal immigrants in line.

    Libertarians understand welfarism and law.

    As far as free trade, Paul is totally for it. He's against managed trade, which is what you are referring to. NAFTA is not a free trade agreement, it's managed.

    As far as being "against our Arab brothers", I'm wondering where you came up with that foolishness? Paul is one of the only members of Congress to oppose the Iraqi genocide consistently, from the 1980s until today. He's one of the only members who doesn't refer to the terrorism issue as "Islamo-Fascism" but instead criminal behavior by thugs. He's not the one trying to start an ideological war at the expense of America's soul.

    You do know that Senator Goldwater considered himself a liberal? Your precious hero also endorsed a Democrat over a Republican in Arizona. Hayek and Von Mises were liberals as well.

    But then, if you were really a libertarian, no one would have to explain classic liberalism to you. For someone who claims to be a libertarian, you sure have no problem endorsing authoritarianism, globalism, statism, the warfare state and intervention, all of which are incompatible with a philosophy of individual liberty. Care to refute that?

    Anyways, I doubt you have met any Ron Paul supporters. Socialists and Communists don't support free marketers and anti-statists.

    We've covered your dishonesty many times already, so more false rhetoric is just par for the course.
