Ron Paul made mark as the most radical and unorthodox

I am saying RON PAUL is the next President.
And AFP is wrong. Radical & Unorthodox?
Look at Ron Paul’s history as congressman & other leading democrats & republicans then you post such a misleading article like that.

Frankly, I don’t give a damn what the AFP’s view is. You vote for the best person you determine is best for the job – you don’t vote based upon the opinion of others. If you need to rely on the opinions of others to come to a decision then you have no business voting.

This is just more poor journalism. Labeling Ron Paul a radical because he adheres to the Constitution and actually has solutions for the country’s problems. The other candidates are the real radicals in any sane world. They’re the ones that intend to continue pointless wars and murder of foreigners. They’re not only radical they are completely immature and irresponsible with their policies.

The media will always use words of discouragement like “radical” or “unelectable” and a host of others, what that means is that Ron Paul hasnt been anointed by special interests.

I find it pretty funny that while we assume there are free elections in American, but they are given the front runners so far in advance even without polling, clearly a “approved” group to choose from by the elites.

Ron Paul does have a chance in a fare election, absolutely YES! will it be fare, it hasn’t been for a decade I don’t see why it would be now.

I would have to say he does have a chance. Granted he isn’t wanted in the debates, but he is gaining ground. I had noticed a common quote in many of the chats.

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

If this election becomes a referendum on the current wars and foreign policy, domestic and international monetary policy, immigration, or national sovereignty I do not agree.

For some time now the American Political elite have acted in a manner contrary to the interests of the American people. Few Americans can even identify with the political desires of our so-called “representatives.”
Ron Paul stands for common sense. He’s the only political figure in the last twenty years that has even begun to suggest that America should look after itself.
I’m sick of the world feeding off my labor.
I’m sick of people being killed and pressured in my name.
I’m going to vote for Ron Paul.

“Almost certainly not” is a step up from “no chance”.

Personally, I use his national polling data as an indicator of what his chances are. At the moment, I’d say the chances of President Paul succeeding President Bush are about 5-10%.

This is not your garden-variety presidential race, and people realize that we need something more than “business as usual” if we are to avoid a collapse of an economy that’s becoming more a house of cards every day.
The rapid changes in communication and information technologies and the polling organizations’ use of obsolete means of contacting “likely voters” gives Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, and Duncan Hunter a right to question the accuracy of their supposed single-digit national support. People are not as willing to “buy in” to the low poll numbers by not bothering to go vote. This primaries may shock a lot of people, especially if young adult voters are motivated to show up.
We are witnessing a historic paradigm shift that will knock the polling organizations, the conventional broadcast media, and two major political parties on their collective ear.

Desparate times require desparate measures. We MUST have somebody to make dramatic changes. It’s a real shame that the guy who makes the most sense is labeled “radical” and “crazy”. It’s equally shameful that the media has so much influence on politics.

Despite the media’s attempted blackout, Ron Paul will indeed prevail. You can’t keep this cat in the bag much longer!

He’s not radical, unless compared to how far modern goverment has drifted from classical American values. Oh, and how little attention they pay to the Constitution.

In my opinion, the AFP is wrong, Ron Paul has a very good chance at winning the Presidency. He certainly has my vote.

Radical and unorthodox? Absolutely…because the status quo must be changed. Every great President was radical and unorthodox. American citizens are obviously dissatisfied with the direction the U.S. is going, and it is time to change course. Do Americans really want another four years of the same garbage that has been endured since Bush took office?

It is clear that the presidency is no longer about who is most qualified, but is a consequence of who has the most money to advertise (a la Romney). That is, unless a candidate is backed by a particular media company with a hidden agenda(a la Giuliani by Fox news, evidenced in the recent Judith Regan scandal).

No, not me. I’d much rather choose a straight shooting candidate who never used government funds to put his kids through school or to fund his health insurance (a la Ron Paul).

I am not psychic, but I can tell you that Giuliani will get the republican nod, and Clinton will get the democratic nod. Hillary Clinton was almost 100% guaranteed to win when media mogul Rupert Murdoch threw a fundraiser for her, inaugurating her campaign. And the President is concerned about other countries having democratic elections. Laughable.

If Ron Paul is certainly not going to be the next President, then this country will certainly circle the toilet for another four years. Swish…

I can say in the cowboy country of the pacific north west his support is FAR more than the media in the US reports, people stand on the corner with signs and drivers honk from their cars.

His signs are everywhere, and they are clean an professional looking, not those silly revolution signs you see on TV.

These were Bush crazy people in 2003-2004 etc… They have been had and they know it by the mainstream republicans. A small portion defected to Kerry in 2004 but not enough to make a difference.

Ron Paul is a storm Karl Rove could not even stop, I wonder what he really thinks of this? Not what he’ll say in some interview or something.

The other Presidential candidates do not see Ron Paul as a threat. In their ignorance, the other candidates regard Ron Paul as little more than a curiousity. It is the people who front the other candidates who recognize the real power behind the Ron Paul capaign.

He is very likely to win because he is going to spam the vote by coordinating flash mobs of voters. Except this time they won’t be able to cancel the results because Ron Paul won.

In one word, NO! Ron Paul will win the Presidency in 2008!

Frankly, once again the American (Free?)Zionist Press has misrepresented the facts. Dr. Paul, as indicated by all of his speeches, debates and publications, simply promotes a return to our federalist constitutional government, the rule of common law and the supreme rights of individuals as such in their respective state residents. I suspect from the nationalist/socialist perspective, (promoted by AFP and the rest of the Zionist-owned corporate media) that global Zionism is seeking to obtain, that’s radical. The poster TheOneLaw seems to understand that as do most of those who take the time to look into the issue. The real story is that the global criminal money powers are finally being exposed on a large scale.

Since when is the Constitution of the USA “most radical and unorthodox” ? If Ron Paul can shake the status quo, more power to him! Free yourself from the herd and truly start to independently THINK, DO NOT TRUST WHAT YOU HEAR AND SEE ON the TV NEWS! Research the BILL OF RIGHTS, the entire constitution, and how our political system works “FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE!
GO RON PAUL!!!

Honestly, the media picks the candidates for the people. Ron Paul is a good man but there are too many billionaires counting on hillary mcrudy. A man who threatens the richest of rich and an entire global empire probably just won’t make it to the oval office.

Not if we the people assert our independence. My whole life I’ve wanted to do something that would really make a difference, so I could “save the world”. Young dreams die hard, and at 46 I still seem to feel that way. I’m a volunteer for the Ron Paul campaign because he’s the first politician in 28 years that I actually believe. What he believes, he believes sincerely and though we don’t agree on everything I DO believe his guidance will help avoid the Armageddon we seem to be careening towards.

Barry B, while you might be right, its not in the American spirit to give up.

cheers,

As time goes by, questions such as yours are becoming less commital in their format; yours asking, “almost certainly”. My answer is no.

If George Washington Had Laid Down When The Going Got Tough We Would Not Of Even Been Given the Chance To Determine Our Fate.

Ron Paul Is The Only Option To Avert Nuclear Annihilation And Save The Country From Bankruptcy.

The Status Quo Has Got To Go; Lest Liberty Be Lost And Doom Consumes Us.

Save The Republic; Vote Ron Paul !!!

Sad commentary when an honorable statesman that wants to obey the rule of law and follow the constitution and restore civil liberties and avert financial ruin and avoid world war III is pegged “most radical and unorthodox” candidate. Doesn’t say much for the “normal” candidates.

Since he is exactly what our ailing nation needs, I pray he certainly will become the next president of the United States!

He has a serious chance of becoming the next President!
The controlled press thinks that they can use language to manipulate the population; “Long shot”, “fringe”, “radical”… But Americans are waking up, at last. He is none of these things nor are his supporters. All one has to do is read his writings, listen to his speeches and then you know you have been lied to by the press.
Ron Paul will be heard and the American people are not being manipulated by the press, anymore.
Hope…
If anything is a long shot it is the power structures that be, for now. It is over for them.
The Ron Paul crowd will make sure he is heard and that people become more aware and educated.
Time for the AFP to wake up too.

Brad, Brad, Brad, must you be so obstinately abnormal. People who want to be taken seriously do not begin every word with a capital letter.

It’s up to Ron Paul supporters to lend credibility. Let’s face it, numbers and money are the only way that articles on Ron Paul aren’t going to lead with statements that are dismissive.Boston Tea Party – The revolution is brewing.

If the media were unbiased, he would have a chance. But when you consider that in a two week time period his named was brought up about 4000 times on tv. compared to say McCain whose name was brought up 94,000 times. Dr. Paul has more money and seemingly more support from citizens when you consider the showing at his appearances than McCain. But the media seems to push certain candidates out of the light. Not just Dr. Paul, any candidate without the name Romney, Guiliani, McCain, or Thompson. Same goes for the Dem candidates. If the story doesn’t include Clinton it isn’t worth air time in the medias eyes. They decided a long time ago that they wanted a match between Clinton and Guiliani. Peace prosperity and liberty doesn’t make for exciting news.

“barry b.”, I couldn’t have said it better. In the game where money, power, media and (other) crooks determine the outcome of the elections (not to mention the ignorant brainwashed public), Ron Paul stands no chance. Ignorance is bliss, money talks.

Anyone who trusts democracy and sanity over money & power must be living on another planet.

Like jusdivinum, I wholeheartedly support Ron Paul. However, I repudiate jusdivinum’s repeated reference to Zionism. It makes the reader wonder if Ron Paul, beneath his gentlemanly demeanor, is actually a hate-filled kook. I know there are a great many conspiracy theories out there but when you attach them to your support of a candidate it harms rather than helps the candidate. Let’s think about how we come across.

People are so quick to judge and criticize Ron Paul, but no one bothers to explain what is so good about other candidates? What are the issues you agree with them on so strongly that you would vote for them? Most of the candidates in both traveling circuses are plain scary to me. After all, why would any of them be in favor of any change at all? It is the current state of affairs that keeps them in power. Just look at their major contributors and whose interests they really represent. Certainly not yours or mine.

I can’t seem to unsubscribe. Can an administrator please do this for me? I do not want to be notified every time someone posts here!!!

Never mind. I got it.

I’ll take door # 1 with my Constitution and my Republic behind it Jack. Uhhh…you can keep your socialism and fascism. In fact…well… you know where to stick it!!

Vote Ron Paul and donate to the Dec16 Tea Party 2007!
