With news circling about letters put in Ron Paul’s name many years ago (not signed by him) I think its time to focus on more current news and in a more positive way (what a lot of news sites do not do).
Ron Paul’s campaign illustrates political power of new technology, the internet is the place of free speech and less control, it has helped Ron Paul raise $28 million.
The New Hampshire Primary saw no breakthrough for Ron Paul, his 8 percent should have been more but the real supporters of Ron Paul are undiminished…they see Ron Paul as the last hope for the United States and will back him to the end.
Ron Paul continues to promise the immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and many other things that the US public want.
The problem is: Ron Paul needs more than political power from the web, he needs his words heard out on the streets if he is to make it to US President.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that displayed substance and thought process in his answers. The man basses his decision on logic and reason, not emotion. He recognizes that emotion is for guidance not decision making. He is a man of great character and those who question it have obviously not been exposed to the vast amount of essays and speeches this man has given over the years. Circumstantial evidence if repeated enough will bend the weak minded to inaccurate conclusion. Think for yourself; Do not be easily led by the bridle of emotion.
Ron Paul is having a rough time gaining traction with voters because the media keeps painting him in a less than desirable light while over simplifying his positions to make them sound crazy.
Reality is that Ron Paul has great skill at Root Cause And Corrective Action Analysis. The topics he deals with are very complex and do not lend themselves to easy understanding. He is willing to consider a greater scope of data before making his decisions. He is not driven to foolish conclusion by emotional reflex.
If the media would attempt to discuss the issues with logic and reason, then people would have a better chance of understanding. Unfortunately this is not possible for many in the media because they are safer using a large vocabulary and smug attitude to attempt to bring him down out of fear. It is much easier to destroy than build when you do not understand. It allows safety in that no one ever finds out that you have no knowledge.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that does not blow in the wind and has the wisdom to ask the right questions to allow logical conclusion.
I vote for virtue; I vote for Ron Paul.
I agree with Brad. I wish to hear about issues, real issues like our monetary policy. Our foreign policy.
The fear that has gripped this nation is being used against us by special interest groups. Just imagine the cost of running a new national ID program. The burearacy which will have to set administer this agency, the cost to the citizens, then pretty soon there will be renewal fee’s, the nonsense goes on. All this because we are running scared.
Its really easy to get off easy when you don’t have to lie!
The biggest driver of his supporters is not the web, although it is their biggest tool. Their biggest tool is hope, and a message that is worth telling and hearing.
Even so, the internet is the one medium we can rely on to actually get the truth about what is going on out. Dr. Paul’s supporters have shown a model example of how to harness the internet to spread a message that resonates with people.
We also must be wary that technology is not wholly on our side. Many of the precinct in this country are using voting machines that are easily manipulated. Dr. Paul’s supporters should work to become precinct captains (through his website) to not only spread the message, but to also find ways to locally monitor, verify, and maintain custody of evidence on all voter receipts. Even those who do not subscribe to the RP revolution should stand up to prevent voter fraud if you care one whit about the future of this country.
There are a LOT of irregularities with the NH polls, but unfortunately we were not prepared to monitor and maintain that custody chain to ensure that the paper backups were not altered. Technology is a wonderful thing, but in this case it can and probably is being used to alter the course of these elections (and no, I do not believe that Ron Paul campaign is the only victim in this.
