    Here's a guy that's basically been saying the same things for years and because of the internet, his message is beginning to find some kindred spirits. Even he is amazed by how he's finally being listened to.

    Dr. Ron Paul will still be talked about 30, 40, 50 years from now (whether he wins or not)
    The Leno interview went really well, too. :)

    Who am I to go against Wikipedia? I guess I'll just have to vote for Ron Paul now.

    I hope he wins. America needs a man of his integrity, reasonable mind and noble character badly.

    Who else would do this:
    "...Rand is also founder of Kentucky Taxpayers United and sometimes speaks at events as surrogate for his father.[19][20] Paul supported his children during their undergraduate and medical school years, preventing their participation in the federal student loan program because the program was taxpayer-subsidized. He has not signed up for a Congressional pension for the same reason.[21][22] Paul usually goes home to Lake Jackson on weekends to avoid "Potomac fever".[23]"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul

    What a difference:

    "Bush was aided by several political advisers, including Karen Hughes, John Allbaugh, and Karl Rove. The Bush campaign was criticized for allegedly using controversial methods to disparage Richards. Following an impressive performance in the debates, however, Bush's popularity grew. He won with 52 percent against Richards' 47 percent.[42]"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geroge_W_Bush

    WOW!


    In 2006, a majority of respondents in 18 of 21 countries surveyed around the world were found to hold an unfavorable opinion of Bush. Respondents indicated that they judged his administration as "negative" for world security.[208][209] A poll conducted in Britain named Bush the second biggest "threat to world peace" after bin Laden, beating North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.[210] According to a poll taken in November 2006, Finns also believed that Bush was the biggest "threat to world peace" after Bin Laden. Kim Jong-Il came in third in the poll and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah came joint fourth.[211]

    This is ridiculous. Something like Wiki needs to be stayed neutral and honest.

    RP over enthusiasm doesn't know the limit and is defaming media in the process
    Whether you like it or not, this is bullshit.

    I made a comment and RP is removed from the list, it was pretty lame IMHO.
    Ridiculously the page is semi protected, means only an 'established' registered member can edit the page....
