[1walkingtree]

please, please, keep up the cry! The corpmedia, has millions of minds behaving like mushrooms, we must practice critical thinking, do it ourself! The untruths abound!

[cwinig]

Western Massachusetts supports Ron Paul and remembers the message of the Tea Party! I am spreading the message!

RON PAUL REVOLUTION STAND UP AND FIGHT!!!

FOR AMERICA!!!

[MayonR]

FEMA is an excellent illustration of lack of oversight. I haven't yet witnessed a response to disaster from them. They have shown they are corrupt in their press meetings. Here in San Diego the fire victims were sent to the Stadium. Instant donations poured out. Radio announced to cease donations please. Last time bureaucracy restricted military pilot help and this time it was also delayed. What has FEMA done?

[zoudi1]

current leadership and direction of where your country is heading is in actuall fact evil,and we can only come to the conclusion that the only person who is addressing this head on is ron paul.

[palehorsepalerider]

hey, the evil you see is the crappy corporo -government that has taken of the workings of our country. People are sick of this $hit, sick of the government baffoons making a joke of our country, and using its power to engorge their buddies with war profits. To hell with them.

Vote ron paul 2008, spirit of 1776

[swoodtn]

Truthout911 - you have been blocked from my account! You can take your comments to another person's video blogs - What you lack in integrity and facts, you make up for in your attacks to anyone who would support change. So My Freedom of Speech is here and yours is elsewhere - Go Ron Paul 2008

[Forlo12345]

You have a very good point! Politicians are more concerned with getting elected now, not so much with representing the people of the United States, as Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are two persons who support the people directly!

[anyusmoon1]

I've given near the max and intend to save up the last little bit allowed to push through the next fund raising drive. Go Ron Paul

[wreckerpecker]

Ron Paul would make a fine president. Ron seems to have kept to simple approaches towards issues, which by way of circumstance allows simple outcomes. Perhaps this is the "radical" being stated. I like Gravel as well because he is "radical" LOL. The most important thing you can do is help others learn of the few that have vision and not game. Those without an informed choice will make the emotional one. Thats why a Dem is in.

[SouthernDancer23]

Ron Paul has something that money can't buy - volunteers who are working for him with no oversight from the official campaign and without any sort of compensation other than, hopefully, seeing President Paul in the White House in '09!!

[truthout911]

Be sure you look at all of his policies and record, not just the things that are appealing to you.

[tweakinreaper]

like?

[truthout911]

I have already gone thru this with swood, but for one he wants to privitse govt, NO THANKS

Katrina should have taught you that is a bad idea. No plan for defense. Doesnt want to meddle in foreign affairs, fine. But there is a problem of international terrorism that does require a global effort. We also have global warming, Paul does not believe in. He believes only that parts of the const. that suit him.

[tweakinreaper]

you must not have been paying attention to how musch to the money was lost to not only bureaucracies but to ppl that wasnt even affected by katrina, also not to mention all the money wasted on trailors that was never used as it took them far too long to get them and they had no planned way to distribute upon arrival

compare the efficiency of bureaucrats to a company approach and you get alot more band for the buck

[tweakinreaper]

do some research of a time long before FEMA and how local people worked together and rebuilt cities faster without government spending....and without not robbing their neighbor(as of right now is moving up the list fast as "US most murderous cities"....was you there during the relief effort?

[truthout911]

You Mr. 27yrold dumbass need to go back and look at history and how this country came back from the great depression because of FDR's new deal that put people back to work building infrastructure, soc sec, Unemployment ins act VA hospitals and benefits. Even Eisenhower had since to raise taxes to build our interstate system we have now. I cant think of one conservative idea that has benefited this country.

[truthout911]

I know you didnt go to New Orleans to help. When people do not have jobs or homes to live, what do you expect to happen. Apartments that were in good condition, people are not being allow back in to live.

[truthout911]

Tell that to the people who still dont have their homes down there. Those who are living in trailer camps. When you have some like Bush appointing cronies to critical positions then rewarding contracts to private cronies that is result. Remember FDR stated rebuild infrastructure in this country. What has haliburton and blackwater done? No accountability and billions missing. More bang for the buck.

[swoodtn]

Hey Truth! What Katrina taught us (I came here as a volunteer and stayed) The lesson is simple - Federal Government is too big - too bureaucratic to respond to real people in Louisiana, Mississippi, etc. But if we do away with all the Federal Programs and allow states to help each other with incentives to rebuild based on sound economic principles, that is what Ron Paul supports.

[philena30]

I agree. Our governments have waay too much power.

[tweakinreaper]

i never liked politics prior to this as they all had the stench of corruption

then there was Ron Paul who's gotten me into politics because i know he is a voice of the people and not corporate intrest as he has a record to prove it.....how else would he stay in congress for 20 years if people didn't believe him even though his views are considered radical? corps control lobbyist that control our government which controls the people...

returning the country back to THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE

[anyusmoon1]

Amen tweakinreaper. Glad to have ya on board. Go Dr. Paul
