If you want more of the same from Washington, please vote for Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. If you want to maintain the Federal Reserve's power to print money out of thin air, fueling inflation at the cost of your savings, vote Romney or Gingrich. If you want an already bankrupt nation to keep supporting the status quo of overspending, stripping us of individual liberty, and impoverishing the middle class, vote Romney or Gingrich.

How do I know that Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich will perpetuate the status quo of overspending and corruption? It is very simple. Their campaign financiers are a matter of public record. The same people that financed Barrack Obama's victory in 2008 are also financing Mitt Romney's campaign this time around. Here is a list of the top 7 PAC's donating to Romney: No. 1, Goldman Sachs, No. 2 Citigroup, No. 3 Merrill Lynch, No. 4 Morgan Stanley, No. 5 Lehman Brothers, No. 6 UBS, No. 7 JP Morgan Chase. No surprise here, all banks, all banks responsible for causing the financial collapse in 2007, and all banks that have posted record profits attributed to the demise of the US economy. It is also no secret that Newt Gingrich takes money from anyone and everyone who wants him to do something for them. He also took money from me and you via the completely corrupt and defunct Freddie Mac.

You have to ask yourself, should the people responsible for creating a global economic meltdown and then looting us via bailouts and "quantitative easing" be choosing our President for us? You also have to ask yourself, why do these candidates get so much coverage and Ron Paul doesn't? Is it because Ron Paul's ideas of ending the Federal Reserve or the Department of Education are "loony"? Or, is it because Ron Paul represents a REAL end to BIG CRONY GOVERNMENT? Reagan promised to end the Department of Education during his run for President in 1980 and he won. John F. Kennedy actually drafted legislation to strip the Federal Reserve of its power to print money out of thin air in 1963, with Executive Order 11110 as well, and this was done during his Presidency!

Of course these ideas would seem crazy, however, to a government addicted to devaluing the dollar and a government dedicated to expanding itself at any cost. But in reality, Ron Paul's ideas are the only sane ones being presented in any of the debates. Wanting to end foreign aid to countries all over the world is only crazy if you are one of the few elite that actually reap the benefits of bribing dictators with our tax dollars. Of course the establishment calls Ron Paul an anti-Semite for wanting to end foreign aid to Israel, it's a twisted lie. Yes, Ron Paul wants to end foreign aid to Israel, but he wants to end foreign aid to Israel's enemies as well. Our government gives more money to enemies of Israel than it does to Israel. Does that make any sense whatsoever?!

The only reason that Mainstream media ignores Ron Paul is because his ideas are so powerful that any coverage of them is positive coverage. Therefore, he is marginalized, treated as if he can't win, as if he's crazy, and no one should pay him any mind. But there is one thing that the Mainstream did not count on, and that is you and I becoming informed. They want us to remain complacent and apathetic and simply vote for the establishment puppet that they tell us to vote for and maintain their corrupt grip on this country. Nevertheless we, as a country, are waking up from our decade's long slumber that has allowed fraud and crony politics to take over.

Freedom is contagious and once the ember is lit in the wheat field of autocracy it spreads like wildfire; not through force or occupation, but through intellect and the proof of prosperity that freedom creates. Right now is a great time to be alive; we have a chance to reverse the demise of our country. You and I have the ability to create and take part in, the Second American Revolution, this time, fought with information and a lesser ignorance instead of violence. You and I can do our first part in the revolution right now and that is cast your vote for someone who will truly effect REAL CHANGE in this country through fiscal discipline and action instead of promising lies or disgorging their teleprompter fed rhetoric. Vote Ron Paul 2012 and be on the right side of history!

4 months ago: A majority of people probably agree with Ron Paul's views on the military. The establishment will never elect him as the Republican nominee. I think he should run on the Libertarian Party again.

4 months ago: Yeah, you gotta hate the 2 party dictatorship. Who knows though, maybe a 3rd party run with this support base could have a huge effect, even though the Clinton administration ruled out a 3rd party being eligible for debate, maybe the people can change that. I remain sanguine, worst case, Rand Paul 2016!

4 months ago: I wrote a post (you can find it on my profile page) about 3rd parties in America.

In short, a 3rd party candidate getting elected to the white house is, first of all impossible, and second of all wouldn't really accomplish anything. If we are to see real change in America's political system we would need a 3rd party to gain at the very least 30 senate seats and 140+ seats in the house before even considering attempting to get a president elected.

4 months ago: I agree, he would be largely irrelevant in a two party system. Let's not forget that the most of the voting is done on the easily hackable diebold machines as well. Many of us last election cycle in 08' clearly discovered fraud and were able to expose it. I actually found a case of fraud in New Hampshire and they were forced to explain it. Of course I was told that there was an accident and ALL the votes for Ron Paul in this one county were "accidentally" lost when tallying.

4 months ago: Let's not forget that there are only 8 states that matter in Presidential elections (most of the time):

Colorado
Florida
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Virginia
Wisconsin

That's it, those states are all that matters. The electoral college is set up to only allow for 2 players (i.e. the number of electoral votes needed to secure the election does not change). If you don't have a "D" or "R" next to your name...you are not winning the presidency. 34%...a true 3rd party needs 34% of Congress, without it the rules that are in place to prevent 3rd parties from existing will never change to open the Presidency up to a 3rd party candidate. The Republicans and Democrats will NEVER vote to change the rules (for the same reasons that they won't institute term limits)...nobody is going to vote to fire themselves.
