  • Ron good luck to you... hope you turn this Country on a different staight and

    narrow road.. God Bless You. ..Dan Sarasota Florida...

  • I hope this man remains true unlike Obama and unlike George W Bush.

    I hope this happens not only for the good of the United States but for the rest of the world.

    Its time to start restoring the world and trying to set up non corrupt government and let everyone have the right to have a good job and for the poor and starving people in the world to actually have something to eat and proper housing.

    If Ron Paul doesnt win America will continue to go to war and then war will come to america

  • i hope Dr. Paul lives 110+ yrs

  • Honest as fuck

  • Live free or die. Simple. Ron Paul 2012!

  • I love Ron Paul but he is so damn stubborn with his affiliation with the Republican Party. I understand he is the last and only Republican in that party and he will not receive the nomination for exactly that reason. He needs to run as an Independent. I hate Democrats and Republicans equally.

  • @chicago6584 too many ppl get caught up in the democrat republican fight. its like saying my favorite football team is better than yours. its pathetic

  • Ron Paul is the only true beacon of light inside the secretive & dark pit of deception that doesn't want to be revealed. He has stood firmly & tirelessly with the people. He has the potential to be the greatest president in U.S. history.

  • now everyone knows how correct Dr Ron was

    nader paul kucinich gravel mckinney baldwin

  • RON PAUL'S DEBATE DAY MONEY BOMB!!! MAY 5, 2011!!! Google + LibertyPAC

  • How true this is, as Obama lets the bombs drop

  • It is a very scary when the military commanders don't know if they can bomb countries without the approval of the congress. I as absolutely shocked to here there response. I think Ron Paul is very intelligent to ask the right questions to expose unconstitutional acts.

  • Canada has like, 7 parties. Why can't the US?

  • ...I was a foolish Middle schooler when I voted for Obama(School vote),Now as a Highschool student. I shall not make the same mistake.

  • "Tragedy and Hope" by Carroll Quigley is an EXCELLENT book !!

  • Ron Paul is my hero, I'd vote/work for him, he is a political legend. AMERICA/USA VOTE FOR RON PAUL.

  • I'm a black dutch but let me say : Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama is a puppet just to clean the bush's disaster, and to let people think by voting a black america has change, hell no its the same agenda. 2012 is ours Ron Paul

  • Ron Paul is My President

  • the first thing I remember seeing about Ron Paul on tv early in 2008 was a segment called,"Strippers for Ron Paul" and they had a stripper talking about why she was going to support him. To an openminded (no, not immoral) person like myself, I thought this must be some unusual politician, so I immediately went to find out more about him. Now I KNOW that the media was portraying him as a nut by doing this and the way they would talk about him, like you'd have to be crazy to consider him.

  • saw so many videos of him. His words were so consistent.

  • more importantly his voting record his so consistent

  • how stupid could you americans be to elect obama how dare you not DEMAND ron paul!

  • not everyone has the time to actually look into these things. too many people are set in their ways to know whats best for them anyone. And like shostetler said "the media won't allow it be known"

  • yea lol i just get so frustrated sometimes

  • not only that... but Obama was actually bad for Ron Paul supporters and people who want change.

    Because .. the mainstream public.. think they finally got there wish, and feel like the government is there friend.

    Black people now embrace and back obama plus a majority of other people.

    Some of these people .. could have been Ron Paul supporters..

    But .. obama will prevent peple from thinking

  • "How stupid could you americans be to elect Obama how dare you not DEMAND Ron Paul!"

    Uninformed people made uninformed decisions.

    That's how is came about.

  • You don't know what your talking about.

  • Maybe the election were control to pick a candidate already assign weather it was pick or not 0_0

  • I am so disgusted in my critical thinking and research to know I voted for the wrong person. I didn't know Ron Paul when I voted. I was so into Obama, although I knew Paul was a good alternative, that I voted for Obama. I am sorry!

  • killuminati63

    they're brainwashed by all the media propaganda

    they're too busy with their lives that they can only allot a certain amount of attention to politics...so they just turn on cnn and fox and think they're hearing both sides of the story and then they choose one

  • @killuminati63 - He withdrew from the election so we couldn't vote for him, sorry.

  • this man is a genious. it will be another tough 4 years

  • shostetler (8 hours ago) The support is there, but the media won't allow it be known

    Yes, and we need to stand up and tell the media (through email and telephone calls) to stop being bias and report the news fairly as they were taught.

  • if he asked me il suk this guys dik

  • If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil, and that's the only thing you'll ever get from it. Evil. There is zero chance for improvement... Only the promise of a slower death.

  • I voted for Bob Barr which Paul, Baldwin are all good friends We need a Third official party 2012

  • Bob Barr is alright, but hes anti 2nd amendment. A deal breaker with me.

    BUT GREAT JOB voting third party!!! THANK YOU!!!

  • I proudly voted for Chuck. When the #$%^ hits the fan I wont have any guilt. woot

  • Vote Constitution Party

  • ... no

    lol

  • I hope Ron Paul becomes President in 2012.

  • I would love to see Ron Paul President this year..2008

    Unfortunately not enough support.

  • The support is there, but the media won't allow it be known.

  • Fuck the media, we have to get ABOVE the media!

  • Ignorant americans . the more I watch this guy , the more I say why oh WHY did you not support him. He is right there! speaking the truth! And nobody listens?

  • i feel the same way

  • People ARE listening! The problem is that the media controls most people's perception and fiendishly distorts reality to the point where the distortion becomes the reality...Roll THAT one up and smoke it!

  • Its really a shame this guy did not run on a third party or independent ticket.

  • Where have you been ??

  • Since the CNN/GOP Youtube debate been very quiet. Thats where i have been, now that all the nominating and the days are winding down, I am back

  • Ron Paul endorsed Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party.

    Everyone needs to get on board the Third Party ticket

    signed steve the plumber

  • I guess only 13,000 people have email addresses in this country. Videos like this should have millions of views.

  • Right on, I sent it to everyone I know!

  • I guess you are oblivious to this.. youtube de-counts views if it's considered a threat

  • god bless ron paul!

  • Alex Jones is not a terrorist. Where on earth did you get that from? He is an investigative reporter exposing some very important information.

  • You are correct. Here is an example:

    Alex talks with Larry Pratt, founder and executive director of Gun Owners of America. Steve Watson will discuss fluoridation. Alex also welcomes back former U.S. federal government analyst and author of Challenger Revealed: An Insiders Account of How the Reagan Administration Caused the Greatest Tragedy of the Space Age, Richard C. Cook. Jason Bermas sits in for Alex during the last hour of the show. Listen Now Windows Media

  • That's about the dumbest comment on Youtube I've seen and by lordy I've seen some dumbass comments. The only bit you got right was "honest", unlike your dumbass comment which is far removed from any honesty.

  • kill yourself

  • He's not against that, this or some other thing, he's FOR the consti-fucking-tution, moron. Why are there so many fukwits on YT?

  • as he said in an interview on cnn, that was years ago when he was in a medical practice and traveling a lot giving speeches, so he didn't always read his newsletter...

    besides, what racist would have Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King as their heros?

  • Hmmm... now i dont know what to believe :(

  • If you knew a business didn't hire people because of the color of their skin would you shop there? The civil rights act doesn't think you have the brains to make that kind of decision.

  • I would not if I knew about its practices, but there is no guarantee that I would know. And I have no doubt there are parts of America where people would shop in in those sorts of stores, regardless of their hiring policies.

    Also, your argument at best shows the company might sometimes be punished by consumers. That doesn't help the person who has been denied a job because of their colour, does it?

  • He sounds pissed here.

  • independents deserve to be in the debate.

  • God, I love Ron Paul. He is so honest, not trying to bs us, no one pulling his strings. He calls it how hes sees it, all the third parties do. Its not a popularity contest for these guys, its about making our country a better, more sustainable place. God bless these guys. I mean, at least, the bipartisans can adopt some of these philosophies into their party and actually follow through, right? Vote third party, take votes away from the republicrats.

  • We need more RON PAUL's in office!!!! Shameful that the government has been infiltrated by globalists neocons. My vote is for CHUCK!!!! I'm also active in political speaking ALL FURICKEN DAY!! I guarantee to swing 100 votes! EVERYONE SHOULD DO THE SAME!!!! WE ARE THE MAJORITY!!! REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MEDIA PUMPS US. MATH STANDS ALONE. DIDn't YOU GO TO SCHOOL???? If so you know that statistics speak for them selves 60% or even 40% will elect CHUCK. Save America!!! Save the Constitution!!!

  • he gets so passionate about these topics and he never flip flops. i love him and wish more people would wake up and listen.

  • LOL Obama gets voted into office there will be an assassination, I mean come on.. he is a TERRORIST!

  • So be it. Even Biden is better than McCain/Palin. I supported Ron, but he's a bit wrong on this one--with Palin in the running, LOTE seems to make a MUCH bigger difference than it usually does.

    I assume you are being satirical calling Obama a terrorist. However, one of McCain's major fundraisers, Carl Lindner, was funding real terrorists in 2001 in Colombia, and his company got fined $25 million dollars for doing it.

  • I agree. As much as I would love to write in Ron Paul's name in on the ballot, I won't stand by and watch McCain-Palin get voted into office hoping that my vote for Ron will make a statement and help in the 2012 election. I may have taken my chances with a write-in for Ron before but with Palin involved, I cannot afford the risk of women's right being reduced to nothing over the next 4 years.

  • Vote for Chuck Baldwin! Every vote counts.

  • My vote is for Chuck Baldwin if you are also concerned you can check him out at Constitutionparty. he is a friend of Ron Paul and has his support he is still in the running ...and is pro life ...however so are most republicans ...and abortion really isnt a major issue ..honestly when all freedoms are at stake

  • I'm no free-market libertarian, but Ron Paul knows the score. The US will truly benefit from Ron Paul, even socialists who want ordinary people to rule their own communities should support Ron Paul's message.

  • So here's the score sports fans:

    Obama.........4,011

    Bush..........ZERO

    As we all know Obama has represented Chcago for ten years. As President he said he will sit down with terrorists and negotiate world peace. Then why the hell hasn't he sat down with Chicago gang leaders to help stop the over 4000 murders since 9/11? The windy city has a higher murder rate than LA or NYC according to the FBI.

  • ?

    I'm not sure what this means but if you are saying more people have died on Obama's watch than Bush, you are about dead wrong.

    Bush - 150 executed on death row with not one stay - 4106 American Servicemen dead in Iraq - 6100+ Iraqi Police Deaths - 150,000 - 600,000 Iraqi deaths, AT LEAST 80,500 reported as civilian by the military -over 1,100 contractor deaths

    and counting.... what the hell are you talking about?

  • Obama's going to win and there's no stopping it. I'd like for people to vote for a 3rd party, but its not gonna happen this term. People just really want a black president. Whether or not he's going to do a really good job, thats another story.

  • write him in on the BALLOT.

    RON PAUL, that is.

  • yes. atleast you'll vote with a clear concsience and for not people who say they won't take military options off the table after two disasterous wars.

    You fight Iran, the Shias will unleash their own version of Al Qaeda

  • We will be slaves to the main stream media, the IRS and the TWO party system until we dismantle the main stream media... the tools are in place we just need to join the wrecking ball... please visit pyrabangDOTcom and put ASYLUM in the invitation code box on the invitation form. They actually pay people to help us dismantle the media... please help us! this is really what we have been waiting for.. a completely NEW MODEL to inform the public that makes MSM OBSOLETE!

  • my hero ron paul!

  • i totally agree with this man, but its not gonna happen like this! we need to vote for the right candidate obama!!! if ron really wants my support he should just expose the biography of american world domination i.e. global elite

  • You totaly missed his message. wow

  • wat did a miss? if people are gonna stand up and vote they would have done it, but to tell the remaining people who do not vote, vote for third party thats dumb, because if they were gonna vote they would vote for mccain or obama

  • and we'll still be stuck in the same system

  • how?

  • I agree with Ron Paul in the same way that I agreed with Nader in 2000. But remember that along with the Supreme Court Nader was instrumental in putting Bush into office, and we all know how that turned out. In this case, the evil of Neo-conservatism far outweighs whatever issues I may have with the Democrats. Nader said Bush and Gore were merely corporations in a suit, which is true, but America can not afford another George W. Bush, which is what we would get with Cryptkeeper McCain.

  • Do you think Ron Paul is Noam Chomsky or something?

  • they proably don't talk about the Federal Reserve because they know they will get assainated just like Jack Kennedy.

  • I have heard Obama say that his pastor led him to his Christian faith but I'm not sure what that means after the statements in his book, in his own words. What is his definition of a Christian? After he defines that, then one can decide his religious preference. I look to those who voted inappropriately in Congress. At the next election, those who failed to uphold our Constitution should be voted out. Then, and only then, will there be a credible chance of changing the direction of our country.

  • (Ron Paul & Ralph Nader)

    In the high school halls

    In the shopping malls

    Conform or be cast out.

    (McKinney Gravel Kucinich Ventura Perot)

    In the basement bars

    In the backs of cars

    Be cool or be cast out.

  • If I were a woman, I would marry you. (or at least asking you to marry me)

  • Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooogle:

    "Obama and McCain on 9/11: unity in support of war and repression"

    By Bill Van Auken

  • im sad that ron paul talks about obama that way, obama is doing hes best for change, i think he will change more then we think in office for the better. i respect u paul and hopefully u guys can work 2gether in the future for this country.

  • Ron Paul seems a very sincere honorable gentile human. I get NO static when he speaks, I can tell his soul is worth each grain in salt. When one person seeks truth at its highest peak, you will learn that you are the light that merely casts a shadow in front of you.

  • SpidrWeb. How does that make any sense? So by ur logic 1 reason for not doing well is not giving examples. McBama is going to be president & they have not had to answer 1 question of substance. Did you watch any Demo debates. They all argued about who is best to bring the same ideas about. What about the federal reserve and how it's destroying our republic. Dr. Paul's message is the clearest message of all if you know how to read. It's common sense and actually helps the country...

  • His message is very clear if you actually do any research on him. He was not attacking the issues in this speech, he was attacking the bipartisan antidemocracy we are letting control us.

  • " ... on the pretense of spreading democracy, and how many people die ...." Thank you Congressman Paul! Keep talking, please.

  • He is right. Everyone vote for Ron Paul this Nov.

  • Ron Paul isn't running. He is saying use your mind. Whats your problem with that?

  • Slings mud at other politicians, BS, other politicans sink and suffocate on their own mud and FUD, how many videos of lies and flipfloping are on record? Saying one thing and voting the opposite right after? People are sick of that, its the reason he has got so much support, he at least has the honor and moral to stick to his true beliefs and doesn't sell out to corporate lobbyists.

  • As if the diabolic Diabold machines would even register the vote for a third candidate :(

  • The elite and the media they control decide who becomes nominated for the Presidency.The peoples vote does not matter.The electronic voting system and other forms of corruption will ensure the elite get the candidate elected they want to put in power.All candidates should be voted for in November not just one nominee from each party.That's the only way to give the people a real choice.

  • Well, Americans...the most gullible and suicidally and arrogantly stupid people on earth next to the Hottentots...have been getting themselves sodomized ragged out of their Constitutional rights for over a century and haven't woken up to it yet...so what are the odds that they are going to within the next less than two months?...you tell ME.

  • this is good, really good. we're not totally screwed bc of a presidential election, regardless.

    change your lifestyle, change your mind. walk with your head high and Divine wisdom pouring from yourself~this is uor planet, and our country. we can take back all our freewill.

    as long as folks dont mind giving up their playstations and their fast food. =0)

  • Vote Zod...google it.

  • You should be more specific

  • flowerchild

    How about gun control when a man puts an illegal gun to your head and rapes you? I guess you're pro-choice because you won't be able to prevent it?

    Gun control is a great idea. Murderers everywhere are going to stop and say "Wait a minute, this gun is illegal! I can't shoot you with an illegal gun! I guess you're off the hook, peace brah." It's not like they're going to be able to get guns in the first place anyhow; look how successful the drug war has been in eliminating drugs!

  • I'm for Ron Paul. I believe that women should have freedom of choice and I'm also against gun control. I disagree with social programs including a single payer health plan for everyone. I believe in Ron Paul and this is why you are bullshit. Paul will win in 2008. Face it, yours is a lost cause!

  • how would paul win? he just said wasnt a candidate, do you think te masses will still vote? i had thought of still voting for him, but....

  • boycott the polls.....the single best thing that could happen to this country, next to the impeachment and hanging for war crimes and treason of George Bush & crowd, would be a MASSIVE boycotting of the polls....but it must be universal: if one person votes, and one only, then the daily rags will headline it as a "LANDSLIDE"...it's all about LIEbold...we can live bold with Ron Paul or Baldwin...or we can DIEbold with the two media hyped CFR butt-sucks, McInsane or Obamanation.

  • i agree. we do not need a president. the president is only there to keep your attention while congress screws you without taking you to dinner first.

  • vote third party

  • flowerchild1951...if enough of us threw our vote away we might get someone elected we believe in.

  • Bob Barr lost my support for his antics with Dr. Paul this week. Insulting.

    Ron Paul for President!

  • That's my man!

  • This is the type of guy our country needs. Tell it like it is.

  • I will not be voting for either of them Ron....don't worry.

  • Hey technonubian thanks for sending this over to me. Yes, I do love watching Dr. Paul at work and what a work of art this press conference was.

    I knew he would not be changing his stripes, like many others were projecting, but even knowing didn't prepare me for how much I enjoy this public stance on the debate issue.

    Go Chuck Baldwin FOR PREZ! '08

  • mccain and obama are one and the same. slight insignificant and petty differences in the context of things.

  • I have to say, Ron Paul is the man who really ought to be president. Is it actually possible for him to be elected?

    If so, that's great news, because most likely that will even out the score, so at worst, we could end up with Obama's policies which (Realistically) are not as bad as McCain's policies.

  • Ron Paul!!! Telling it like it is as always. NEVER give up hope.

    rEVOLution!

  • Ron Paul is the man. My president for sure

  • don't like either of the 2 parties? VOTE 3RD PARTY! though a 3rd party candidate will not likely win, it is a vote against the current system.

    ron paul lives!

  • i'm sort of disappointed that dr. paul doesn't come out and endorse a single third party candidate. with 4 candidates splitting the vote, none of them stands to make a very big impact. if there was only one third party candidate, the third party vote would have a much greater impact.

  • I bet if ron paul was the third party candidate there is a chance.

  • Nice try McCain HAHA

  • care to elaborate?

  • throwing your vote away is voting on the lesser of two evils simply because that's what the main stream media tells you is best or because that's who your family member is voting for or that's who Oprah is voting for, if you vote your heart and conscience you will NEVER throw away a vote! that's the fact. Thousands of votes will be "thrown away" on both Obama and McCain, go tell them about the bullshit.

  • No flowerchild1951, you are bullshit. You are the problem we are facing here- apathy.

    Why should we vote for a candidate we know is wrong just because you can't see that ours is right? Why should we compromise on freedom? Why should we just stand by and wait for our country to crumble?

    No, I think I will vote for who I want to vote for. Thanks for the insight, I'll just be ignorant here.

    You go ahead and vote lesser evil '08, I'm voting good. It's my right after all.

  • How about gun control when a man puts an illegal gun to your head and rapes you? I guess you're pro-choice because you won't be allowed to prevent it?

    Gun control is a great idea. Murderers everywhere are going to stop and say "Wait a minute, this gun is illegal! I can't shoot you with an illegal gun! I guess you're off the hook, peace brah." It's not like they're going to be able to get guns in the first place anyhow; look how successful the drug war has been in eliminating drugs!

  • I don't live in a high crime area for a reason. The crime where I live is low. I refuse to live in fear and having a gun means I live in fear of MEN. MEN are the rapists, but not all men rape women. I have two grown sons and when I was in my early 20's I had two abortions before I was ready to have children. I believe in pro-choice because I'm not a hypocrite. I had a friend from high school that had an illegal abortion by a doctor over 30 years ago. Abortion needs to stay legal.

  • Even the pro-choice are usually morally opposed to abortion. I can't believe you came here and said this like it's a good thing.

    I'll assume "it was a mistake. I didn't want to get pregnant" is your defense for the first, but why did you need another? You didn't learn your lesson after the first? Could you not at least practice safe sex? Were you really that selfish and conceited to make this mistake twice? I don't know how being pro-life makes me a hypochrite. Do you love your sons?

  • women rape too.

  • Face it anyone who calls themself a flower child has to be a loser anyway.

  • loser? by that do you mean~someone who doesnt eat at mcdonalds, eat genetically modified food, take pharmaceuticals, buy cheap plastic lead items from wally world made by children, someone who doesnt live in fear and respects life?

    you need to get a life. really you do. it must suck walking around being a sheeple zombie.

    i had to resort to name calling since i wanted to be able to communicate with you on your level.

    BLESS THE WORLD!

  • no, America will be a lost cause if Obama or McCain wins. Wake up!

  • gun control means that u have to rely on the Government to protect u when that rapist wants to have you.. sure they are always there to pull u over and give u a ticket but they wont be there to save ur life.. the govt runs social security and medicare and the dept of education.. all of which are horribly run.. u think ur health plan will some how be any different? u are naive to say the least..

  • im a flowerbaby/star kid and tell you what~

    ur stance on gun control will only take guns from law abiding citizens, then everyone will really see what martial law looks like.

    Obama went around the world, illegally getting funds by bragging about his true muslim faith.

    He wants to invade pakistan next.

    no one who spends 143 days in congress while his brother invades countries and kills should be president.

    FLOWERCHILDREN ARE NOT ABOUT WAR. we seek peace, manifest peace.

  • You sure believe in LIES! Obama is Christian and not Muslim. You sure listen to GARBAGE!

  • It doesn't matter what his religion is, we're not going to vote for him.

  • obama is christian while he travels around US. everywhere else he is muslim. he was raised muslim~he even admits he converted because of his wife wanting his career to soar. i really really pity you, wanna know why? because its people like you that are going to kill my family.

    technically i should say f*ck off to you for wanting to murder my precious nieces and nephews. but them being 3-5 years old, they would want me to ask you if you need a hug, because YOU MUST NOT BE FEELING ALRIGHT.

  • I dont trust Barr.

    Ron Paul my President

  • On with the REVOLUTION

    THE RON PAUL BANK.

    More powerful than any President.

    THE RON PAUL BANK.

    The one to TRUST!

  • I am starting to loose hope for My Country!

  • With how many Americans out there that cannot spell, I have been tempted to LOSE hope.

  • Sorry, damn I knew it when God made me He should of made man Perfect! Sorry to hype your Ego up! Thanks for Catching my Error!

  • Bob Barr asked Ron Paul to be the Libertarian Party's Presidential candidate for this year. When he declined, Barr ran for the nomination and won.

    Barr has now asked Paul to be his Vice Presidential running mate. This is with the full approval of his current Vice Presidential running mate, Wayne Allyn Root. You can read Bob Barr's 'beautifully' written invitation to Ron Paul at the website Bob Barr 2008.

    This act shows 'tremendous' patriotism! America The Beautiful!! Let Freedom Ring!!!

  • where did you get that? I thought Chuck Baldwin's politics are much more similar to Ron Paul than Barr's and I have heard nothing about RP running on the ticket with Barr.

  • Say NO to McBama!

    Say NO to Republicrats!

    Say NO to Establishment media outlets!
