The Ron Paul Revolution Will Not Be Reimbursed
RON Paul. President Ron Paul. You gave him your money. Well, some of you did.
And he gives you a message:
Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans — and friends in many other countries — have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.
Oh, go on, Ron. Have a go. We’ll take cash:
Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties — just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.
I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen.
In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me.
Sincerely,
Ron
Maybe they’ll hear from Ron via email. Whoa! Way to Whoa, Ron!

When it comes to the media, I thought well fox and a few others would try to stop the Ron Paul message, but boy was I supprized, every media outlet played thier hand for all to see, it was like sitting at a poker table and someone throws down 5 aces, you know the deck is stacked then, it just shows how deep the corruption really goes, and you wonder why the rest of the world think we are idiots, we only know what we are told ( hence all the major media outlets ) so dont believe everything your told by these propaganda masters, they are just puppets of the cia, nsa, and millitary indrustrial complex, we need a real revolution people, like the french had……………

Paul takes money from neo-Nazi groups because they support his views, and he does theirs.)
You must be the guy that made up that lie. Because even the NAACP have claimed that it’s a lie. But of course, it’s not about pointing out racism is it?
It’s about fear. Using fear to force an warranted opinion. Just like the Goverment is using fear to continue an unpopular war abroad while slowly taking away our liberties here at home. And fear of someone who is actually an honest politician trying to bring the truth of our Nation’s plight to millions.
There’s a good chance that Scott A. Joseph, MD lives in an all white neighborhood and sends his kids to an all white private school. But hey, he’s out to protect the Black people.
Just as long as there aren’t any moving into his neighborhood.

People just don’t really like change. Until the are knocked out of their comfort zone, things will continue to slide down the drain inch by inch. I think that
everyone who has heard Ron Paul’s message believes he’s right, but are afraid
it can’t be done. Someday we will look back in hind sight and see we had the right man, at the right time, with the right message and turned him down for someone that made us feel good. (sigh)

Bias in the media? The MSM bought and paid for? If your not sure, here is an example.
In 2006, the Democrats won back both houses of Congress because of the Republicans stance on the war, and the war on terror. And no matter how hard they tried to make us believe that stuff, it didn’t work. Right?
And now, we have three candidates that are “anti-war”. Two Democrats and one Republican. Out of those three, only one candidate has committed to having all the troops out of Iraq by the end of the first 4 year term. (notice how quickly the other less proffitable “anti-war” candidates dropped out…Kusinich, Gravel etc etc)
Now, what do we have left. Absolutely no MSM coverage of Ron Paul. It seemed like the more money he raised, the more online polls he won, the more meetup groups that were formed, the less media coverage he recieved. (not that there was a lot from the start)
With every slip of the tongue by a talk show host, or a news broadcaster, or anyone affiliated with just about any type of media, it was always “the long shot candidate”. “The dark horse”. “No chance of winning”, etc etc……
And for the people who don’t use the internet, would never have any reason to think anything different than what they are told. And the ones who do use the internet, but buy’s into what the media says, would never bother checking Ron Paul out either. They wouldn’t bother checking out his voting record, his stance on immigration, abortion, states rights, gay marriage, or even what he could possibly mean by bringing back the Gold Standard.
The GOP, don’t want to look like they were wrong about the war. And the Democrats don’t want Ron Paul to look normal. So he has it coming at him from both sides. So which ever side controls the media, controls Ron Pauls campaign. ( I’m glad this text is in black & white, because that is just how clear this is)
Ron Pauls movement being strictly internet based, is absolutely 100% correct. And his supporters are raging throughout the internet because they can’t get through to the MSM. Why? For reasons I just explained.
In Black & White.

Most political donation are for gaining a favor, not so with Ron Paul’s donations. People are donating to him because they believe in the principles he advocates. He has lit a fire and either the fire burns brightly or the country is doomed. No two ways about it.
My friend if you care about your future, the future of your kids, do you think you can achieve it through 100 years of war or massive deficit spending using fiat money?? Every empire that did this in the history of the world failed and the american empire is failing before our eyes. Did you hear about the 3 trillion budget? Who do you think will pay for that? The politicians? Yet the masses, the media, the candidates running have no clue the empire is failing so how can they talk about it or look for a solution? Only Dr. Ron Paul understands the problem and how to solve it.
Go ahead forget about your future and the future of your kids, you can cry when it comes, and vote for the clueless candidates.
February 12th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I will vote for Ron Paul and not that idiot McCain- war monger.
February 12th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I donated to Ron Paul, as much as I can afford. Why don’t you write a story about him receiving more donations than any other candidate from the brave men and women serving our country.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I too am amazed at how many of these so-called news media services, (including the biggest scoundrel of them all FoxNews) have tried so viciously to marginalize some of the lesser candidate’s campaigns. It’s really shameless, and should be very illegal. The personal opinions of the journalists, reporters or staff employed by (or contracted with) a news media service should not be reflected in write ups about the various candidates. Ron Paul and several other candidates has literally had their on-air campaign shredded by several of these so called news media outfits. Since when do the news media services have the right to decide for the voter who he/she should vote for? These news media services scream for their first amendment rights, and then turn around and try to marginalize or viciously attack a presidential campaigner’s right to be heard. It’s rank hypocrisy! It’s yellow journalism at it’s best. It’s an outrage against the American people and their right to have the unbiased facts.

Scott A. Joseph says: I like inflated health care costs so keep the icky budget slasher away from me.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:42 am
I am constantly baffled at how these “journalists” shamelessly expose their ignorance. I’m beginning to suspect most of them are illuminati grunt workers programmed and trained to be truth debunkers in the media. McCain too - he’s as unintelligent as Bush - an obvious puppet of the overlords in the shadow government. Most people I talk to hate McCain, yet the “polls” say he’s in the lead? Watch “Hacking Democracy” and see how vote fraud mirrors the fraud of the Federal Reserve System. Hey Anorak, “Halt!” To those of you who haven’t researched the illuminati, that is a command these poor puppets learn in their programming from infancy. I almost feel cruel for using it.

Ron Paul will get my vote in November, whether he is on the ballot or not. Ron Paul is the only honest politician in Washington.
February 12th, 2008 at 3:34 am
I was at his Rally in Lake Jackson yesterday. Ron Paul has not given up. He is downsizing his staff because super tuesday is over. Just makes financial sense. Remember the Alamo. Texas is a must win. And Ron Paul supports are becoming the state delegates. The straw poll numbers are meaningless. It is not over buy a long shot.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:09 am
OK, I have read the authors two comments. Has the media now chosen to throw in it’s third string, benchwarmers? Is there really anything to think about or discuss relative to the authors seeming opinion that in order to support a canditates ideals one must require a personal gain?
Perhaps the term “whoa” has disturbed some deeply imbeded memory cell from the authors younger experience. A wet diaper, a spilled glass of milk? Who knows?

mccain supporters need to rally behind ron paul, or mccain could cost republicans the election. the revolution will not end.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Ron Paul is for the people and by the people. People who love freedom in the truest since of the word and love to have someone who stands for sound principals and cannot be bought by the powers that be. The majority of the American people were short changed because the media did not allow Ron to have the media attention (other than negative) that they gave to the other candidates. Ron Paul IS what America needs to fight for right and TRUTH.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Why does this “journalist” single out Ron Paul, and his supporters (who he clearly believes are either fools or victims) from all the other candidates, Democrat and Republican, and their supporters, who have either dropped out or who will not win?
Why does this “jopurnalist” denigrate the political process? Why shouldn’t Americans support with pride whatever candidate they like? Is a return to peace, prosperity, limited government, and personal responsiblility such a threat to media types that they feel compelled to denigrate Ron Paul and his supporters?
If a candidate is not a clear front-runner from the beginning, should Americans avoid him or her from the outset, even if they agree with that candidate and not the others? Should we always vote for the front-runners, just so we can feel good about backing a “winner” even if that candidate espo9uses views and policies we find abhorent?
I have been a lawyer for 25 years, and have listened to journalists and others complain ad nauseum about ethics, or the lack thereof, in the legal profession. They ought to examine their own lack of ethics instead. In spite of some heroic attempts by the writer’s press colleagues, I don’t think I have ever before heard such asinine, juvenile, snivelling commentary from the press. And, dear friends, that is saying a hell of a lot.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
why does it seem that whenever a man stands up for something right in this country, he is shot down. Ron Paul has had only good ideas to help us(Americans) keep our freedoms we have, and to regain the ones we’ve lost. He understands what too powerful of a centralized government can do. Let’s all try and be open minded enough to see it ourselves.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Nobody asked if Giuliani or Edwards gave back their campaign contributions. I am still in the middle of a huge fight in NC over votes for Ron Paul. Our primaries do not take place until May. We have a long way to go, but this battle will not be over until I step out of the national convention and say it is over. Then the decisions will begin to be made concerning Congressional candidates and local candidate support. This will always be an ongoing fight to save what’s left of our Constitution.
If an elected official will violate Article Two of the Constitution, why would he be hesitant to violate Amendment Two, or any other Article or amendment? Think about what we are doing and let us all begin to heal this nation.
Vote Ron Paul. Write him in you he isn’t on the ballot.

Ban $400 haircuts!
All politicians should be shaven-headed and wear identical uniforms. they can then be judged on content not packaging.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Believe me, anybody who donated to Paul isn’t worried about whether they got their money’s worth. We know we did. And will continue to. Paul runs a lean campaign, a tight ship. He respects our donations. I don’t believe you can say that about any other candidate. There were mistakes, sure, but I can say with certainty my candidate has never had any $400 haircuts. I never gave a cent to a politician before, and never will again, unless he has the Ron Paul ideas and the Ron Paul record. That is the standard.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Nice job Doc.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Well said Doc R.!
February 11th, 2008 at 9:58 am
In less than 24 hours I am going to work the polls here in Va.Yes Mr. Idiot.for the only honest man to run as our leader in decades.This isn’t about the man running,I can’t believe that is all the farther you can see.This campaign is going on whether Ron likes it or not.
His followers are fighting to get our country back.Back from special interests and THE MEDIA.
I am sure by now you have heard about the Ron Paul Revolution…Welcome to the real world..That revolution isn’t about Ron Paul…It is a rescue mission for America.
I don’t blame you or the media for the insulting way Dr. Paul has been treated.It was what you were told to do.Your just the Organ Grinders Monkey..The problem is the Organ Grinder.We are focused on Him.Believe me.Dr. No is just a tool,he can’t stop what has started.
I predict that America will be heard. She hasn’t spoken in a long time but she is but clearing her throat now.
Keep on dreaming your liberal dreams,take the warm milk that is offered.I for one will laugh when you are startled out of your sleep.
The Fight is just getting good,Stick around.
Doc

I maxed out in contributions for him and donated to his Congressional campaign. I regret that he is not running 3rd party, but can see where that might crimp his ability to run as a Republican for his House seat.
I absolutely feel that I am getting value for my money.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Just another poorly written article by another unscrupulous journalist! The mainstream media (MSM) has already done a hack job on this incredible man. Everything that he has accomplished, is despite the efforts of MSM and none of you pathetic tabloid puppets and media oligarchists seem capable of being even a tiny bit gracious. Well, consider the source. His supporters are more behind him (and his message) than ever, so rave on and by all means, knock yourself out denigrating yourself.
February 10th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
God Bless Rep. Ron Paul and I will help him, if I can, keep his Texas congressional seat cause we at least need at least one voice up there. That said, and the political system and the establishment press having show they can’t be trusted with our liberty, what the hell do we do now?
Course I have always said and it still holds a true, long as you folks like they are betting on a horse race, we will always end up with the government nag!
February 10th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
‘most’?
Is that 51% or 99%?
I really need to know, as I reckon I’m in the 65-70 bracket, and don’t wish to have my idiocy credentials undermined.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
the real idiocy is most people
