" Summarize "

" glad you liked the news sources. I would suggest posting it all over town. people need to know whats really taking place. "

" "Gregg", why repeal Bush's authority? For the Legislative Branch to repeal the authority of the Executive Branch requires a Constitutional Amendment. That's too extremist and it is never going to happen. The Constitution requires Congress to appropriate money to fight wars. It's completely out of the presidents hands. The Democrat Congress de-funded the Vietnam war in 1973, and that was the beginning of the end of that war. Nixon was forced to bring the troops back home. So, if you lefties truly want America to cut-n-run in Iraq, like you did in Vietnam, then stand tall and go for it, but stop all this subterfuge. "

" The pressure is building to go to war with Iran. Rep. Paul's sane and principled stand against such madness becomes more important every day. "

" Rep. Paul opposes abortion partly because of his experience as a doctor delivering many babies. He opposes the drug war because he sees it as unconstitutional. No one is probably going to agree with every thing a candidate stands for. All we can do is make our best judgement. "

" John Paul is not as conservative as his website might lead you to believe. Paul voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions (Apr 2005); NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime (Feb 2004); NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research (Feb 2003); NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes (Apr 2001); NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion (Jun 1999); NO on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman (Jul 2006); Voted NO on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage (Sep 2004); voted YES to Legalize industrial hemp (Jan 2007); voted NO on military border patrols to battle drugs & terrorism (Sep 2001); Paul says War on Drugs has abused Bill of Rights (Dec 2000); YES to Legalize medical marijuana (Jul 2001); Rated A by VOTE-HEMP, indicating a pro-hemp voting record (Dec 2003); NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror (Nov 2001); NO on allowing vouchers in DC schools (Aug 1998); NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers (Oct 2005); NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse (Apr 2003). "

" Thanks to the poster from Sep. 3, 10:46A.M. Reading Alex Jones sites- Prisonplanet and infowars- is an enlightening experience.I encourage anyone reading this to learn what this man is saying and doing. I consider him to be a hero of our time. "

" There are three candidates who are not members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). They are Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. To begin to understand what this means, see the video "The CFR: A force to be reckoned with" on the dailypaul website. These three candidates are also the only ones who have signed onto the patriotsquestion911 website, asking legitimate questions about the events of that day and calling for a real and independent investigation. They have integrity and can work for change. The others can only serve the interests of the elite. Our choice here is incredibly important. I hope we choose wisely. "

" My research on Ron Paul has shown me quite the opposite of what your post says. The man is running as a Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket. Multiple YouTube clips identify his position on subject matter as well as such sites including www.ronpaul2008.com. I suspect that you have either done a poor job of conducting your own research or wish to spread misleading information. "

" Ron Paul has stated multiple times that he is running as a traditional conservative Repubilcan. He says he will pull out the troops immediately, eliminate the IRS immediately, disband the Federal Reserve which are really a group of private international bankers controlling US purse-strings. I think those things alone would be useful to the 99.9% of the poorest of Americans, and I clearly don't care about the interests of the wealthiest 0.1%. Ron Paul is also against abortion and for nuclear energy, so I guess no one is perfect. "

" Vic I agree with Greg here it is to some extent. You say you have seen Ron Paul during debates and he reads a lot and is knowledgeable in many areas, that still does not change the fact that the man has not openly declared his intent on which platform or party to run on. This is disturbing to me as a voter and a student of American politics for many years. If Ron Paul in his ten terms in Congress has done such a bang up job, tell me Vic some of the bills he has sponsored or co-sponsored. What is his stand on key issues that will lead our country, and are important to Americans? What I have seen from Ron Paul in debates is that he has a tendency to side step many tough questions presented to him. Of course this is just my opinion and observations. I am looking for a new face and voice to hitch my wagon too, I am fed up with the current trash we have coming in and out of Washington and Springfield. "

" I like the fact that Ron Paul has teamed up with Democratic candidates. That's is what it seems like from time to time. In fact anyone who backs him knows that he is a sure loser and is helping the Democrat candidate. I wonder if someone is thinking that Ross Perot helped Clinton win so maybe Ron Paul can help Hillary win. Once bit twice shy. No third candidates for me ever again. It just assures that someone you really don't want to be president will be elected. So far there is no Democrat candidate that I would consider voting for. "

" Perhaps I'm not as involved or insightful as pantagraph.com regulars, but before anyone dismisses Ron Paul's candidacy, I strongly suggest that he or she look into the Federal Reserve, its owners, their wealth, and how they transfer wealth from the lower and middle classes to themselves through the harmful and deceitful "inflation tax" that RP loves to talk about. Keep in mind that not one penny of American taxpayers' income tax goes to our government, but rather 100% of what is deducted from their paychecks every week goes into the pocket of the PRIVATELY OWNED Federal Reserve. "

" The rampant hatred in this country for anyone that is not like you is a travesty that has been propagated by the media and politics, but Ron Paul is a uniter instead of a divider. People of all walks of life come together to support his bid for the Presidency, working together for a common cause. This is exactly what Ron Paul does when he sees the federal government running a muck with violations of the Constitution and our Civil Liberties. Like most Americans I want out of Iraq, but before I felt this way I truly wanted to have the war bring safety and security to all of the Iraqi people. It's not working and it's time to bring our troops home. It's a real shame that so many people have died, both ours and theirs, but when I hear someone say that we have to stay there so that those deaths mean something all I can think is...how many more deaths will it take to make those deaths mean something? It's time for the people of America to take back our country and bring it back in line with what we all know it should be. "

" It's best to vote for the candidate, not the party. I voted for Bush in 2000 without thinking about it too much, and once I realized he was a few loads short, I began voting Democratic. "

" Those who support Rep. Ron Paul should check out Rep. Dennis Kucinich's positions. The man has integrity and that is why Ron Paul has said that he can work with him on commonly held concerns. "

" Some other issues: Ron Paul sponsors House Resolution 2007-the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007. "

" ..the Alex Jones news websites ("prisonplanet", and "infowars") everyday. Read it and find out what is "really" going on. The news behind the news. What the main stream government influenced media will "not" allow you to know. Such as how the gov is currently prompting ministers and pastors as to what they should say and do to their congregation "when" planned martial law soon begins, (aka "comply" or else). A masterful resource of info.. "

" ...posted today on YouTube, shows evidence of ROn Paul supporters being denied the opportunity to vote. It is extremely sad and disgraceful the deceit played upon the American people as the establishment and the mainstream media constantly downplay and throw obstacles at the Ron Paul campaign. Obviously his campaign speaks the truth that people want to hear. The MEDIA IS AFRAID of RON PAUL BECAUSE HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH. It is sadness in America when We The People are not allowed to vote. Ron Paul for President 2008...I am more determined than ever to help this campaign as best I can. "

" Well said Gregg! I had to laugh at a statement criticising you that questions Ron Paul's "experience for international policy making." Paul has had ten terms in Texas as a representative, reads a lot and his debates have shown him very knowledgeable on a lot of subjects including foreign history, and yet George Bush is our president who had ZERO experience and studies about foreign policy. Also, the critic questions what Paul has done for his district who elected him TEN times. That made me smile too. "

" Gregg, while I applaud these two congressmen for their efforts to end this idiotic war, I would find it hard to back Ron Paul's candidacy. It's my understanding that, aside from his war stance, he's still a fairly conservative republican from Texas on other matters. I would back Kucinich's candicacy, as I tend to agree with most everything he says. You know as well as I do that most of the republicans who post here are so far right that anything other than their view is considered "far left". Granted, Kucinich is more progressive than the other democratic candidates, but rather than "scare me", he offers me hope for the future. "

" Weatherman hasn't got a chance. Gregg you better find another horse ! "

" Your idea of a big change in Washington and everywhere else for that matter is one I share with you completely. However you scared me right off the get go when you mention Ron Paul agreeing with Dennis Kucinich. Dennis is so far left the liberals wouldn't back his bid for a major office. Labeling in politics is just the way it has been for sometime now and I don't know really know who started it. That in mind I must ask who is Ron Paul and what has he done for the people in his district in Texas? Also why has he not formally announced his candidacy as an idependent? There are too many unanswered questions with this guy as far as I am concerned and like O'Bama I question his experience for international policy making. Appearing on a national TV show and agreeing with the most way person of the opposing side does not lend him credibility. Although the attempt was made to show him being able to work with both sides, you can not work with people who want it all their way or no way. "
