Ron Paul is getting my vote even if i have to pencil him in. Dr.Paul you are a true American.

Sadly, the lack of arrogant nonsense means that this platform will never get him elected...

@GeminiAussie That's great, mate! Thanks for your support. Do you think any of the political parties in Australia could at some point run on Paul's platform? Are there any political figures in Australia embodying the spirit of America's founders?

It's no question Ron Paul can win the Presidency, but can he win the Republican nomination? Unfortunately a good chunk of registered Republicans won't vote for Dr. Paul in their state's primaries, and most states have closed primaries. So if you want Dr. Paul to be a Presidential candidate, register Republican(even if you hate Republican's or belong to another party) and vote for Ron Paul in your state's Republican primaries. You can always switch later.

@yabaworld This is synarchist would do & what has in fact been done:

Permit a few officials - like Paul, Kucinich, Nader, Sanders, etc. - on the margins of the political system to prolong the hopes of the few attentive, informed voters who are wise to the unfathomable corruption that runs both parties & the military for the sake of evil corporate geopoltical & financial aims. Use them to prop up the illusion of a representative govt. not fully rigged & then tear them down w/ silence & smears.

"Consider our situation, sir; go to the poor man and ask him what he does. He will inform you that he enjoys the fruits of his labor, under his own fig tree, with his wife and children around him, in peace and security. Go to every other member of society; you will find the same tranquil ease and content; you will find no alarms or disturbances. Why, then, tell us of danger, to terrify us into an adoption of this new form of government?"

- Patrick Henry, 1788

"But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes & chains of consolidation, is about to convert this country into a powerful & mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of 1 great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism. There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government."

- Patrick Henry, 1788

"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."

- Thomas Jefferson, 1799

"I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government [to be] peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."

- Thomas Jefferson, 1801
