Ron Paul is the only Republican who can defeat Hillary Clinton.

Ron Paul is not a pacifist.

He sees the terroists and their teachers as individuals and not as representatives of any nation or the religion of Islam.

At the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Paul, defining them as an act of “air piracy”, introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, which would have granted Letters of Marque and Reprisal, as authorized by Article One, Section Eight, against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state.[17] He has also reproposed this legislation recently under the new title of Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007.

Among all candidates, Dr. Paul is now first in total donations from military personnel and veterans.

Obama and McCain were second and third in donations from military and veterans.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop2.html

http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html

Tancredo and Ron Paul have the best voting records for reducing government spending according to the National Taxpayers Union.

They were the only candidates to score 100 percent “A” Grades from 1992 to 2005.

http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=97#

Sportsbook.com rates both Paul and Romney at 8 to 1 odds which is approximately an 11 percent chance of becoming the next President.

Mitt Romney’s campaign only had 35 percent more cash than Ron Paul after subtracting debts on 06/30/2007.

($3,176,525 / $2,354,855 = 1.349)

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80000748

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003353

Paul’s campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003429

Romney’s contributions from individuals dropped by a third from the first quarter to the second quarter.

Paul’s contributions almost quadrupled from Q1 to Q2.

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/?nid=roll_08campaign

Ron Paul received more than 10 times as much in donations in the last week of June as he received in the first week of April.

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_DATE_C00432914.html

Ron Paul’s $2.4 million in fundraising after the second quarter placed him:

4th in total receipts to date

3rd in total current assets (ahead of former front-runner John McCain, and just $800,000 behind Mitt Romney)

Ron Paul has more friends in MySpace and more subscribers in YouTube than any other Republican.

As of September 4, Ron Paul has won 9 of 23 straw polls.

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/

Thus far, 47% of the contributions made to Ron Paul’s campaign are donations of under $200 from individuals (John McCain’s 17% is the second-highest percentage).

http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-small-donors-love-him.html

This is a telling statistic, as it highlights the fact that most other candidates rely heavily upon donations from corporate interests and political action committees (PACs) (i.e. moneyed, influence-seeking sources who can readily afford to contribute large sums). Since Congressman Paul has always voted against special favors and privileges for anyone, special interests know they have nothing to gain by stuffing Ron Paul’s campaign coffers. As one member of my local Meetup group put it on a home-made sign, “Ron Paul is thin because he won’t let special interests buy him lunch.”

I have always been an active voter and try to get involved in issues that are important to society. Back in August, I was doing my research on-line for McCain, Clinton, Obama, and Paul to see what they supported, voted for, their ideas, etc. Ron Paul was the only one I agreed with 100%! Then I saw Aaron Russo’s documentry on the IRS and the small but gradual steps the government is taking to turn America into a police state and it was certainly very disturbing. I researched further and came to the conclusion that Ron Paul is the only candidate who wants to reinstate America as an independent, freedom-loving country and abolish the Patriot Act, change the tax system so it actually benefits regular Americans (not politicians), stop sending jobs overseas, enforce laws to prevent illegal immigration, bring back the value of our dollar by stopping inflation, end the war, etc. From that point on, I was a Ron Paul supporter all the way. Then I saw Fox, CNN, ABC, and any other news channel covering the debate try to discredit Ron Paul and ignore him. That made me an even stronger supporter!! It is a known fact that the media is censored by the government. The fact that they obviously didn’t want me or anyone else seeing Ron Paul have a distiguished and fair debate really made me curious as to what they are hiding…If Ron Paul was really a “nutjob” why wouldn’t they just let him discredit himself? Think about it
