I thought Ron totally rocked it; I agree 100% with it and have since 9/11. The video that TJ posted shows how well Ron did in Fox's text message poll, even as the news guys claimed Guiliani won over Ron. The votes did not agree.... I'm ready to think outside the box. I'm ready to give someone a chance who isn't a "formula politician". I think our generation has a chance to try something different. I guess we'll see. LOL Joel…I saw that debate.

I guess we’ll see.

It wasn't the much-maligned Sean Hannity interview but what he himself said during the debate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLkJCjipIAk Occurs around the 1:45 mark. Listen to what he says was the reason for 9/11. Listen to Giulliani's response and the crowd's reaction to it. That, more than any other reason, is why he will not be getting the nomination and why I cannot vote for him. He's got some fine ideas otherwise and I can accept flaws in a canidate but the man outdid John McCain in shooting off his mouth and drowning his campaign. My three largest issues for any candidate are 1. Judicial Nominee philosophy 2. National Security 3. Fiscal Responsibility Paul has #3 down. #2 is clearly beyond him and not many candidates are strong on #1. Gonna be a long year...

My three largest issues for any candidate are

1. Judicial Nominee philosophy
2. National Security
3. Fiscal Responsibility

Paul has #3 down. #2 is clearly beyond him and not many candidates are strong on #1. Gonna be a long year…

Ron paul brings together so many different people, from different backgrounds, and unites us...I think we should all BUST THE BOX American politics has made us conform to and teach them a thing to or two about what the people really WANT and NEED.

Also, he's an example of how the internet is changing politics, for the better, imo. We surfers can view lots of informative videos of him (and of any candidate we're interested in), not just short clips on tv. Also, it's easy to "click to donate": small $ contributions are WAY up this election cycle, and are making a big difference. (Move over big business!) So, as far as becoming informed and making a difference, the common folk are gaining ground. Ron Paul is contributing immensely to “the conversation”.

I am going to be 32 next month too. I am signing up to get my voters card again because I believe in Ron Paul. I believe in what he stands for. The government has got to big, in my opinion and we are suffering for it. I was not raised in a political family at all so I have had to learn about things the hard way but from what I can see, Ron Paul would do a great service to our country. Can you imagine how much better things could be if he would be President? We can only hope for such a good man in office. -That does not mean I hate Bush, I am a Texan after all ;-) I just think it is time for a change for the people, not the people in GOVERNMENT.

The rally in Iowa was amazing. Lots of energy and enthusiasm for Paul and his ideas. Paul's candidacy threatens to upset the establishment applecart. Gate-keepers and machine politics will attempt to squash his candidacy -- but the power to choose is ours. Paul is the one bright spot in a field of insipid choices.

Dr. Paul has become the initiator of that epiphany for many people. What has been amazing to watch at the MeetUp get togethers here in Austin is the diverse people who are showing up to help with his grassroots campaign. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Reform, Constitution, and Green Party. Our personal beliefs range wildly from atheist to the evangelical, transcendentalist, Christian, and Buddhist. We span a wide dichotomy of people, personalities and ideas. I think a group like this that has set a side their differences so they work towards a common goal is what will change the political landscape. Those who are in power will defame us as kooks because we no longer will follow them blindly anymore. If we want our nation to return back towards freedom and liberty, I guess that makes me a kook.
