To all of you raging against Ron Paul he has just raised 2 million dollars in one day from people across America hoping for a new way, a better way. I would say all support what OWS is doing so why are so many OWS supporters on us? Now this is just my opinion. Also note that nothing has come from PACs or any corporations. All has come from people like me and you.

I've recently decided Ron Paul is probably the best guy. People should research him. I suggest watching his speeches over googling.

Although he has some crazy ideas about regulations and state laws, i think he should win. It will be the beginning of a new way of thinking. Big change doesnt come unless we are jolted out of our sleep. He will get hell from defense companies.

Also don't forget that the government is out of control and planning to wage war against most of south Africa now.

[-] 1 points by ronimacarroni (1089) 13 years ago

As in the continent, not the country.

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 13 years ago

He should have invested. Remember, the free market. He's panhandling.

[-] 1 points by rp2012 (31) 13 years ago

He is rich from investing on his beliefs in gold

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 13 years ago

Who mines the gold, mmm?

Slaves.

[-] 1 points by rp2012 (31) 13 years ago

What? not even close, research gold mining please..... Damn people are silly ignorant on this site, if I stay here any longer Ill be stupid too...

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 13 years ago

Gold is mined in south Africa. Grr.

[-] 1 points by rp2012 (31) 13 years ago

All gold? whatever

[-] 1 points by ronimacarroni (1089) 13 years ago

How about this.

We give him a chance.

If it doesn't work then we do a revolution.

stop listening to exxon oil and republicanism and use your brain. i LOVE ron paul hes my one and only NOT EVIL republican i know of. the road to hell can still be paved with his good intentions. STFU WTF? This is about getting rid of ALL the republicans and ALL of the Democrats. If you are not on board for REAL change and want to land us a half mad science denying oligarch just crazy enough for them to control and just stupid enough to try republican economics- you are nuts.

You know i am all for ending the fed. HOW we do that is more important than merely doing it because the civilization is one organism and its econmic systems are organs. Play doctor like a mad fucking half genius insane brilliant wingnut republican... and your patient would expect to do as well as a 5 year old trying to do real live surgery after being smoked up on crack. You are not and he is not a system doctor. I am. And all you or he has for us is mor eentropy; not hard solutions. Now STFU and start working for a new party inside of OWS. I want YOU to tell me what office YOU are going to run for. GROK?

And let me be loud and clear over here. i love ron. but if you ron paulians don;t get the clue quick i will be forced to END him from THIS space. Don't call the lightning. just take Ron back out of OWS and i won't cook his campaign alive with fire from the sky. GROK?

I got no beef with ron. i love ron. STFU and get ron out of my court or i will take his platform by line item and SORT the genius from the WINGNUT. LIVE.

I don't want any taxes either.

Enough with the Ron Paul worship. He's not a messiah.

[-] 1 points by rp2012 (31) 13 years ago

No he is a prophet. Even dem Al sharpton agrees!

Hey Obama already spent like 70 million so far so obviously he is the way way better choice than Ron Paul because Ron Paul only got like 2 million LOL

thats what obama said to, about all his money coming from people. You people need to stop thinking that someone else is going to bail you out of this mess and take some personal responsibility

[-] 1 points by uslynx81 (203) 13 years ago

Well Ron Paul isn't just saying it. That is the point. That is why the media has blacked him out. That is why Fox - CNN- MSNBC - all say he can't be elected. That is why in the CNN debate last night everyone got there closing statement on why they would beat Obama but Ron Paul. The establishment wasn't against Obama. I have a feeling after watching freedom watch and they had a guest from wall street and he said that Romney was going to win -paused for a sec - then said well probably- Kinda sounded like he knew the polls were going to be rigged.

[-] 1 points by peacescientist (169) 13 years ago

Whoever wins Im sure its going to be a racist arrogant bastard that doesnt like poor people, black people, or anyone who isnt contributing at least 100,000 to his favorite "charity"(its how the rich launder money) I dont trust anyone anymore. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The right person will either end up dead, or ineffective. At any rate, local elections are what is most important. You elect a congress that represents you, youll actually have a chance to change things. The president doesnt make laws, congress does. No president has power aside from backroom swindling. He just sets the agenda. Impeach congress and start over and we might get somewhere.

[-] 3 points by uslynx81 (203) 13 years ago

You should really look more into Ron Paul - I was like you after Obama but he has really given me hope the more I learn about him the more hope I have.

[-] 1 points by peacescientist (169) 13 years ago

So how exactly is he going to implement any of his plans with the current congress? Congress is the one who passes laws.

[Deleted]

[-] 2 points by uslynx81 (203) 13 years ago

If the people get behind him congress will follow. He has been saying the same things falling on deaf ears for 30 years. The people are starting to wake up and he knows how hard it will be. "We Do These Things Not Because They Are Easy But Because They Are Hard!" JFK

[-] -1 points by ArrestAllCEOS (115) 13 years ago

He wants crazy ideas like cutting taxes. We want more taxes!

[-] 2 points by mgiddin1 (1057) from Linthicum, MD 13 years ago

Yes, yes!! Let's do this 9 9 9 plan so that we all have a 9% sales tax on top of all the other taxes we currently have. Especially since so many Americans are out of a job and they can't afford a sales tax.

[-] -3 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

ron paul is a wingnut. why can't you people get the message? this is not rons political site. stop adverting for the wingnut here.

[-] 2 points by redpill (2) 13 years ago

Stop listening to MSNBC/CNN/FOX and use your brain. They want you to believe he's a wingnut because he threatens their power structure. Listen to his words, not the media lies.
