Ron Paul Cannot Be Ignored Anymore

In a newly released poll by Rasmussen Reports, Ron Paul is in a statistical dead heat with President Obama if the election were held now. Interestingly, the establishment candidates of Palin, Romney, Huckabee, and Gingrich lose to Obama by between 8 and 15 points.

Ron Paul polls best amongst independents, beating Obama by nearly 20 points.

There comes a time when a political movement reaches critical mass and can be ignored and dismissed no longer. The R3volution, the Ron Paul R3volution, has reached that critical mass. Ron Paul polled extremely well with both Republicans and Independents and had some support from Democrats as well. That is the recipe for success in 2012. A candidate capable of capturing the Republican base but nothing else will lose to Obama in 2012.

The dam has broken and liberty is alive, well, and growing. Congratulations Ron, it is true that principled leadership over many years can, in fact, shift the political focus of an entire nation. Good luck in 2012, you'll certainly have my vote.

Ron Paul hardly mentioned in statistical tie with Romney at SRLC

Lost in the vast majority of articles regarding the Southern Republican Leadership Conference poll over the weekend was how close Ron Paul was to winning. Following up his exceptional victory in the CPAC straw poll earlier this spring, Ron Paul nearly won this one as well (Romney and Paul each polled at 24%). The final tally had Romney with 439 votes to Paul's 438. The third place finisher, Sarah Palin, finished more than 100 votes behind these two (330 votes). Yet most articles about the event gave him a token line, if that.

Ron Paul, who the mainstream media has worked diligently to paint as an outsider incapable of winning the 2012 primary received rousing applause during his entire speech before the packed conference. The question about Paul's electability has been answered by his repeated victories for his house seat, which has not happened in a vacuum. Even in his most recent primary, he had competent challengers within his own party. Passionate tea party candidates ran unsuccessfully against the man known for his fiscal policies and his desire to return America to its Constitutional roots (Paul won approximately 80% of the vote).

It is time to dismiss the idea that Paul is a fringe outsider. The vast majority of his views are shared throughout the Republican base and the Tea Party movement (which his 2008 presidential campaign is largely responsible for forming). For the future of this country, the next president must not be someone who compromises in order to please people. The next american president must be a person who will cut spending in every area possible beginning day one in office. The only republican on the SRLC slate who would do that immediately is Ron Paul.

Ron Paul deserves credit. His mainstream media labeled "fringe movement" has turned out to be anything but. He will continue to be a formidable force in American politics until he chooses to hang up his hat. The American people can only hope that he chooses to do that after the 2012 election which he has the definite potential to win.

Ron Paul's Libertarian Lesson for John McCain

During the Republican presidential debates, John McCain seemed to show as much disdain for Ron Paul as he did for Mitt Romney. But while McCain certainly has no use for Paul's antiwar views, he might want steal Paul's oft-stated idea that Americans are being hit hard by an "inflation tax." This from Paul's website: Today, the federal government burdens us with one of the most dangerous taxes it can impose—the inflation tax. When the federal government finds that it cannot afford its out-of-control spending, and is unwilling to directly tax the public, it resorts simply to creating the money out of thin air.... We cannot possibly expect the government to control spending when it has a blank checkbook.... This greatly benefits the politicians and special interests—they are able to finance the massive welfare-warfare state. But how does this inflation affect you?...Day by day, every dollar you have is being devalued. You pay an inflation tax without even realizing it because you are forced by a falling dollar to pay more for goods and services.... The disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation, are some of the greatest threats facing our nation today.

Ron Paul Revolution Sees Second Wind

As an author, Ron Paul has accomplished something he failed to do as a Republican presidential candidate [yet] : finish first. His new book, “The Revolution: A Manifesto,” has topped The New York Times best-seller list and the Amazon sales chart. It has also helped rally his grass-roots following long after John McCain clinched the GOP presidential nomination.

Ron Paul Publicly Names Neocons on the House Floor

While this video does not have the actual video from the House floor, it takes a portion of Dr. Paul's speech and shows the actual Neoconservatives that he is discussing in his speech. The speech discusses the origins, ties, and goals of the Neoconservative movement, which we have now seen is far more akin to socialism or communism than it is to the democratic Republic our country was founded as.
