Today, the “Ron Paul Meetup Group” hit an astounding 5,000 events! The groups are consistant of supporters of Ron Paul, without any assistance, knowledge or aid from the man himself or his campaign staff. Over time the events are becoming more sophisticated and grand. Several months ago there may have been the occasional Ron Paul for President bumper sicker or street poster, but now there is everything from the National “Paint the town Ron” campaign to Walk-a-thons to National Television Commercial days! The rate f newj oining members has recently spiralled upwards, to an average of nearly 800 per day! It is predicted that he will have approximately 100,000 members in the Ron Paul Meetup Group!
Are you a fan of Dr Ron Paul for President? Or perhaps you agree with the views expressed here?
What is it that you think gives Ron Paul this popularity? His policies on the internet? Let me know! Personally I don’t think he’s that great…

Ron Paul is our LAST SHOT at being totally free people. Enough said.
Dr. Ron Paul is the only candidate running for president that is for the people, therefor he will be elected by the people. Other reasons, No more killing of mankind and beast, No more being a slave to the IRS, We want our Constitution back, We want our rights back,
No more propaganda, Equal rights for everyone, Secure our borders, No more illegal immigrants, The truth about 911, and that is just for starters.
Interesting guy, this Ron.
I hope he gets into the next administration as a president or the vice president. He would be kind of refreshing to the business of politics.
Yours Sincerely.
After learning about Ron Paul, i will admit, for the first time, i was proud to be an American. I’ve donated $150.00 to him, and i am doing all i can to spread the word. Ron Paul has my vote.
It is very strange the way people who would ordinarily be reasonable..get so upset when they hear about Ron Paul.
How dare he suggest that we have a right to be free? Does that mean we aren’t really free now? This is blasphemy! The truth hurts, but the lie will kill you. If you want to go on fooling yourself, just keep on keepin’ on believing the propaganda that we are “the greatest country on Earth” and that those “terrorists” over there “hate us cause we’re free.” and if “we don’t fightum’ over there. we’ll have to fightum’ over here”
Hey! Ron Paul isn’t the first one to say “maybe we don’t need to fightum’at all” Maybe if we would mind our own business and let others mind theirs……Those who have given up their dreams will surely discourage yours. I have a dream and it’s ron paul for president. go for it!
Even though I am against much of what Ron Paul preaches, I will still vote for him. Sure back in my youth I read Atlas Shrugged and thought as Dr. Paul does. Then I traveled the world and saw first hand the necessity of social programs. We have only to look in our own backyard to compare our two neighboring countries. Canada is heavy on social programs and Mexico is bare bones capitalist. I have yet to meet someone that has been to both and said they would rather live in Mexico. Right now in our country we have more important issues than what programs are good or bad for our people. We are slowly watching our Freedom and our Constitution being taken away from us. We need someone like Ron Paul now before we loose it all.
SmokinJoe,
Not to come across as rude, but your post contradicts itself several times.
You want freedom, but also social programs? How can these go together?
“Mexico is bare bones capitalist.” Not even close.
Lot of different factors between Canada and Mexico, a lot.
But think about it. If you want ‘freedom’ how can you want social programs. Social programs are just a different label for ‘theft, slavery, taxation, government, stealing,’
Someone has to work/pay for a social program. Will there be ‘greedy people’ who hoard their wealth and let people die?
Yup. But you have forgotten the broken-window fallacy.
How much does the government TRULY cost for these ’social programs.’
Everything has a cost.
I am guessing what you mean is you want some security (aka social programs) but freedom in other areas.
sure, we all want our cake and to eat it too. That being said private charity will always trump government because the private charity has an incentive and wants a return on their time, money, activity, goals, etc, instead of subsidizing the problem to buy votes.
