Here’s how to wreck the Rush Limbaugh show, Ron Paul style.
Please run again Ron Paul I voted for you in my first primary, luckily I registered to vote soon enough. I also would love to help work with the Revolution in the New Jersey/New York area.
RON PAUL 2012!!!
My name is Margelus Burga.
I would like to meet in person with Mr. Ron Paul
I was a wery good friend of Harry Browne.
How can the people at cpac that gave Rush Limbaugh standing ovation when talking about true conservative principles vote for anyone before Ron Paul.Ron Paul is the only true conservative voice in the Republican(Big Government) party.Ron Paul is the only real hope to save the Republican party and this country.We need a conservative who will stick to the constitution.
who the heck is this jindal clown
Rock On Ron Paul.
How do you spell obama?
One Big Ass Mistake America!
Bumperstickers & Tee shirts soon Available!
OMG, who in their right mind would say no, maybe, or even I don’t know. He obviously needs to run people like Alex Jones are making his popularity grow so fast that by 2012 he may as well say he won already.
DEAR RON PAUL:
THE TRUTH IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT YOU. THE WORLD WANTS YOU. THE MEDIA KEEPS YOU OUT OF VIEW SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE. THEY COVER OVER YOUR VIEWS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’S VIEWS WITH MEDIA PROPAGANDA OF OTHER POLITICIANS AND OTHER SOURCES OF NEWS. EVEN WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK IN THE MEDIA ALL THE OTHER STUFF BOMBARDS IT OVER WITH SO MUCH STUFF THAT EVERYONE FORGETS WHAT YOU SAID LAST WEEK OR A MONTH AGO. YOU DON’T GET ENOUGH COVERAGE, ALL THE OTHER COVERAGE BRAINWASHES EVERYONE. SO IT’S DIFFICULT – BUT I THINK IF EVERYONE WHO IS FOR YOU EDUCATES AT LEAST 500 TO 1,000 PEOPLE EACH ABOUT THE FED, AND THAT SPREADS WE CAN GET BACK A TRULY HONEST AND FAIR ELECTION AND FINALLY THE RIGHT PRESIDENT. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING EDUCATED ABOUT THE SYSTEM AND WHAT THEY ARE BEING DENIED, THE WORLD IS WAKING UP TO TRUE DEMOCRACY, AND A FAIR AND JUST ECONOMIC SYSTEM AND HOW IT SHOULD REALLY WORK. AMERICA IS WAKING UP DR. PAUL, AND SO IS THE WORLD.
ALSO THE FED NEEDS TO GO DOWN FIRST BECAUSE THEY WON’T LET YOU OPERATE IN OFFICE.
WE ARE BEHIND YOU RON 110%
GOD SPEED
I would to meet you, i use to be a very good very good fiedn of Harry Browne
I think ron paul and bob dylan should hook up for a tour!!!!!!!peace
The Times They are Changing-
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.
think big!
GREAT! NOW LET’S GET AOL TO ADD RP TO THEIR LITTLE “POLLS”…HUH?
If Ron Paul is to win, the Libertarian, Conservative, Green, and other 3rd Parties need to Register as Republicans Today! Then when Ron Paul runs in 2011 for the Republican nominee for the Presidential election, he will win. But, he will have to place the Libertarian, Conservative, and Green Party representatives within his cabinet to appease these party voters. If you’re ready to return to the Constitution, become a Republican today and help transform the party from the inside!
I would come back to USA and vote for Ron Paul
I don’t expect Ron Paul to save the world or anything, but I would give him my vote because he has been proven to be a man of his word.
The problem? Only 6,000 voters – and these on the site that promotes Ron Paul. No traction, I’m afraid. Those who know of him and have listened to what he says are ardent supporters. The other 299 million people are in their own world. There is no realistic political solution. Turn to the Savior of the world – Jesus Christ. He WON’T be denied when His time comes.
I think the masses are going to be more receptive to the Libertarian message once Obama runs this country further into the ground. I wish there was a ’savior of the world’ to turn to…
…well, there is the Easter Bunny…
Ron Paul should run for President, again. He’s the only root cause for our future freedom’s. Not only in America, but to inspire the world that Liberty belongs to the individual. The notion of Collectivism must be dismantled.
Ron Paul 2012!!
the only thing this chart shows is the percentage of people who would vote for on paul that actually look at this site and support him.. If this was a poll directed towards the general public, the outcome would be much different.
I was woken up many years ago to what most are still blind about and since then the general public has been somewhat educated. I think you’d be surprised just how many people would vote for him.
i would be suprised if he got more votes than any other libertarian. (including ross perot) Its not like people are just now waking up. Ross perot was preaching about the same things 20 years ago after the recession in the eighties. He’s still doing his thing. Libertarians never quit, i’ll give them that.

I think we should not have to wait until 2012. We need to put Ron Paul in NOW! I think that if we the people do not like the way our leader is handling things, then it’s our duty to get him out and put someone in who will do things that are much more beneficial for our country.
Ron Paul is the only one who can save us….
Ron Paul is NOT “the only one who can save us” any more than Obama is the Messiah!
Join the Campaign for Liberty and jfind out so much more about what YOU can do no matter who is in office. And that goes for the rest of you, too.
We are making an alternative medium of exchange since jthe elites are working so hard to destroy the dollar.
We are talking to each other, getting each other to stock up on tp, water, food, guns, ammo, etc.
We find interesting health facts.
We teach others about the Constitution.
We are creating a new Republic from scratch.
I say Ron Paul DID win the Presidency. He, not Obama, is MY leader!
Go Ron Paul!!!
You know your going to anyway!
I would like to see him as the speaker of the house. I think that he would be most effective there. Of course I would vote for him for president but, lets see what happens in 2010. As mad as people are getting about the current situation it might be possible for the Republicans to take back the congress. That would be my dream to see Ron Paul as our speaker of the house. I know that we have little control over that but, I pray for it. Then in 2012 Ron Paul could endorse a younger, very conservative, libertatian Republican to kick Obama’s ass. I don’t know who that is yet but, I also pray for that person to emerge by then.
When I hear people complain today, my favorite saying is, “You coulda had a V-8!” Ron Paul… you are the V-8 we shoulda had!
I’m British.
I live in Switzerland.
And I say:
GO RON PAUL!!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!!!!
I agree with this poll and think that Ron Paul needs to run, but he needs to wear a bullet proof vest for his safety, as the bankers won’t like him.
Ron Paul, Pick me to run your online efforts – you’ll win.
Do you mean just like the same banksters that helped to kill JFK?
I think that if we get other like minded candidates running for president like Gary Johnson and Mark Sanford, which is a strong possibility, running at the same time then all the other candidates won’t be able to gang up ron paul in the debates like in 2008 and it would increase any or all three of their chances of winning because once one of them backs out then they could throw their support behind one of the other and their views wouldn’t look like they were in such a minority.
The only good presentation I ever saw about RP during the primaries was shown on PBS. What happened the the rest of the networks? They are as much to blame for this mess because of the way they manipulated the masses!
not enough people heard of Ron Paul we need to spread the word
Maybe the reason they didn’t support him was because they figured he would just quit, like he did.
The Constitution Party has the right platform to reform the US and they stick with it to the end.
If America really wants to pull its head out of its a** they should support a candidate who’s not a quitter and just wastes everyone’s time.
There was much more to it. He didn’t cut and run…he had to make a decision for what is best for the people. The people who got involved would of been burned and shunned further by the republican party. I agree we should take the real conservatives out of the republican party and join the constitution party.
I second that,I’ve had enough of the two party system. From now on I’ll only support candidates who are either Libertarians or Constitutionalist. I pledge to support both parties through donations, time invested and whatever it takes to help their agenda. Either of these parties would be a warm wecome as opposed to what we have today. I pledge to oppose both the dems & repubs with a vengence! They sleep together and have betrayed the American people!
The question they ought to be asking is “Will the rest of the U.S. pull their head out of their a** and SUPPORT HIM??”
I wish Ron would have stayed in, but a bigger show of support would’ve helped tremendously.
I believe there was much more going on then meets the eye in this last election. Here in Nevada Ron Paul took 75% of the delegates at the state convention but the Republican party pulled a quick one and broke all the rules of the convention. After witnessing this I realized how corrupt the two patry system is. Following Ron Paul on the internet polls that were happening just before the primaries in each state he would carry a majority of the vote. This seemed really odd come election day that suddenly he was only getting 1% of the vote. At our caucass Ron Paul held the majority yet the others in attendance for their candidate played dirty politics and manipulated the vote. The same was happening in the media. A man came along and told the truth and the liars & cheats weaved their deception on the American public. Not once was the media unbiased during the primaries. They never presented the candidates political records on voting issues because Ron Paul would have buried them all. Until the controlled media presents candidates fairly we will continue to be CONTROLLED & MANIPULATED.
If he’s just going to chicken out again at the last minute, then don’t bother. It would be much better to support the Constitution Party’s candidate because they don’t cut and run in the 11th hour like Ron Paul did.
There is a long shot that could be a winner. What is required is setting aside the differences and merging the voting strength of the Ron Paulistas, the Libertarians and the Constitutionals to form one conservative bloc of voters. The Libertarians need to set aside their drug issue, and the Constitution party members need to be less heavily doctrinaire in their religiosity and all need to come to an agreement on the other issues–getting out of foreign entanglements, guarding our borders, running government with a balanced budget, leaving school control to parents and generally allowing the free enterprise system to work.
It’s time that congressmen worked for their living by writing their own laws, attending congressional sessions and listening to their constituency with a regard for the fact that whatever laws are passed are passed to served all Americans everywhere. A step in the right direction would be to limit congressional staff to one secretary for each congressman period. Next limit their pensions to Social Security like the majority of the rest of us.
Of course, that would mean that only patriots and statesmen would run for office instead of what appears to be a bunch of greedy power seekers.
I dream on.
Mary White
Libertarians and Constitutionalists only get support in good ol texas because we used to be our own republic country. This is all a repeat of Ross Perot in the early nineties after the recession.. Look, he’s still doing his thing.
http://perotcharts.com/
Please run in 2012 as an independent not as a Republican.
I am ready for the truth to be presented to public.I want to see the anger that waves thruogh our several states.When they realize the theft that our legislature has allowed.Im disgusted at these on air personalities that claim to know the corruption,but wont speak about the specifics.Then turn around and play a tax barter commercial.All i can say is we need to defend our property,freedom and future with what ever rights we are entitled by our constitution because our government isnt going to do it for us.Open up a code book and stop letting the judicial system and lieyers tell you that you cannot read or comprehend english.
I wished I had a sign for Ron last election!
So next time around you will not only be expected to put a sign up you will be asked to join the revolution full force! That means doing whatever it takes to get the message out and educate the voting masses!
I still have my Ron Paul bumper sticker on my car and it will stay there til it falls apart!
Ron – I would love to work within your organization if you decide to run again— but I dont know how much help I would be up here in New York- not to many people left up here who can read or care to read the constitution…
Maybe I will have to move down there to Texas where some real Americans can still be found.
I just hope this group of “winners” all these blind voters elected in there this time around will actually leave us a country to have an election in 4 years from now!!!
Keep fighting the good fight Ron- You are a true patriot. Im glad that at least you are there in congress fighting for us as a light in the darkness… god bless you.
Wow..NY, eh…isn’t that the same state that elected hillary? Yeah I agree with you…most there must be braindead to give her a vote. Her husband put us in this mess with his policies and she shut up really quick about the healthcare issue after the major healthcare companies put a check for $900,000 in her pocket. Most people are to ignorant to vote let alone understand any issues. So many people here said they were voting for obama just because he was black and they wanted to see history made…SAD. They didn’t care if he is a Socialist/Marxist.
It was not Clinton that got us into this mess, but Bush, with his preemptive war in Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. His lies cost trillions of dollars and trashed our reputation around the world.
Chuck,
You need to follow events a little closer to understand todays situation. clinton was responsible for the now notoriuos credit default swaps, the Glass-Steagall Act, & the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. He also wrote, supported and passed these bills which in effect forced banks to invest(loans) in low income neighborhoods which they knew would never be paid back. It started at about 3% bad debt but quickly rose to 18%. That’s roughly 20% towards non recoverable loans. It allowed people to borrow way beyond their means. clintons way of saying let’s help the little guy. Now I am no fan of bush either but he did warn congress in 2002 that these bill need to be stopped before they do harm to the financial industry. You can still find his speech on C-Span. Again clinton brought about this mess on wall st.along with all his free trade policies which are stacked against the American industry & worker. Again 20% bad business, what business can afford to opperate at that level?
I’d say that Bush drove the nails into the coffin that Clinton made! To me, theyre both batting for the same team. lol I also hear tales of many people who died mysteriously durring the Clinton administration.
Anyone who belonds to the Libertarian Party or the Constitutional Party gets serious consideration before any Dem or Repub ever again. These two parties have become one and the same. They just take turns screwing lunch box joe. Neither party adhere’s to the Constitution and only seems to represent lobbyist and special interest groups any more, namely the bankster. Why is the taxpayer obliged to pay for the banksters blunders without any guarentees? Were was my voice in this matter? We are being legally raped by those we elected. Citibank is not even American owned yet we must bail them out…insanity!
Ron Paul held a lot of leashes with his I-don’t-know-if-I-will-run campaigne, and I’ll not pay attention to almost committed again.
I voted for him in the Primary and in the Write In as a protest vote, but if anyone at all stands up for the Constitution between now and 2012, I’ll vote with sincerity and truth but not with Ron Paul.
Yes, Ron Paul should run for the next presidential office. I truly believe that the Federal Reserve will definately become unpopular. I also advice that he picks a democrat who voted against the Stimulus Bill. Congressman Minnick (D) is a good choice since he was a small business owner and he voted against the Bill. Just an idea to get some Democrats to vote for Ron Paul.
How about Rand Paul? Would he run for president? Ron Paul will be 76 years old in 2012. I think that all of Ron Paul supporters would follow Rand Paul.
I love you Dr. Paul!!! If you do run I will vote for you again. You are my hero.
Yeah… I’m not American but can i Vote?
I wish we had a Ron Paul in Australia… instead of all the wet towels and soggy teabags..
Go Ron!!
I don’t see why you can’t vote in our elections. I hear tell a lot of illegals from Mexico did!
If this poll was on this site, it’s the result a bit of a fait accompli? Aren’t the majority of people visiting this site because they like Ron Paul, as do I?
Not surprised by the continued support of Ron Paul’s voters. I hope that he works hard to build a strong base from which others like him can help to move the nation forward with grace and wisdom. To know when to run for an election in the United States, however, must also reflect that wisdom. The odds are not at all in favor of a win–no matter how good Ron Paul is. The last thing this country needs is a hero-figure with herds of followers who forget how to think for themselves. The most responsible act on his part is to carry the revolution forward by building the base and seeking excellent mentees who are capable of independent thinking and leadership.
Please run again. I will be turning 18 in one year so I will be able to vote. If I can’t vote for Ron Paul my life will not be complete!!!
Two Dumbs up!!! Very proud of you we need more young people like you and to tell others is the key!
Go Ron GO
God bless you
Would love to work within your organization if you do run again!
Ron, I agree with you on so many fronts. The Fed IS the root cause of this mess, and several previous president have acknowledged that, Jackson, Wilson, who left a detailed statement regarding his deep regret about signing it into law, and how the bankers would own this country….! Have you watched Zeitgeist-the final version?
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-594683847743189197
You really need to watch the entire film, things get very interesting 40 min into it. YOU CAN PUT A LARGE SIGN IN MY YARD!!!
He should run indeed. There some political problems to Dr. Paul’s candidacy, though, problems that can be viewed only by a pragmatic political strategist, which is what this movement needs
