Ron Paul video game being developed

(CBS News) Ron Paul will soon put the smack down on the Federal Reserve - in a video game, that is.

"The Road to REVOLution" is a "side-scrolling platformer action/adventure game, reminiscent of console classics like Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog."

The goal of the game is for Paul to become the President of the United States and shut down the Federal Reserve. In the game you play as Paul, who has to go through all 50 states to collect gold and delegates.

Delegates earn Paul the title of President, while gold coins unlock branches of the Federal Reserve. Expect proper "baddies," as there are 13 boss fights in the game. Video game developer Daniel Williams told CBS News that one of the "baddies" will be British economist John Maynard Keynes.

So how does one make a Ron Paul video game? Williams posted a project on the crowd funding site Kickstarter. The site works by setting a monetary goal. If the goal is reach, the project is funded.

Williams ask for $5,000 to pay for cost related to developing the game. The idea of Paul as a video-game hero must be popular because Williams hit his goal within three days. While Williams says there is no official timeline for the game's development, he hopes to deliver the beta to in mid-June, with an official release in July.

If this isn't the most ridiculous thing, I find it quite UNETHICAL! But then again, I find alot of things Ron Paul does to be unethical. (the propaganda techniques he uses to gain "followers")where he has all his followers sounding like a bunch of parrots that all walk around "repeating" the propaganda he feeds them. Using his RP "lingo," words like "Neo-con" and "The Fed," etc.. in their vocabularies. And thats not to mention how he is creating a bunch of ANARCHISTS in this country! All while he is attempting to hide this tactic under the banner of Freedom and The Constitution that he falsely uses and tries to "TWIST" its meanings and interpretations to suit what message he wants to get across to his "targeted group." Using "PLAIN FOLK TALK," he reaches a group of people who find Romney, Gingrich or Even Santorums speeches to be "over their heads," Yet, although they may not know much about Politics, RP has given them a crash course in Constitutional Law, and on "HOW TO" interpret what our Founding Fathers intended! And he has taught them all so well they are "quoting" directly from Ben Franklin and are even capable of naming "specific" Articles, sections, and Amendments of the Constitution! But...in all this HOGWASH! He talks about all the "BAD" in this country and barely anything on the SPECIFICS of "how" he plans to FIX IT! He's too busy being a "rock star" and spending all this campaign money, getting all this "attention" of his fans. But he'll die a happy man I'm sure! But his LEGACY,will be a "broken" America, with his followers, Americans, who no longer TRUSTS their government and what their country and government represent! BECAUSE IT IS OUR "PEOPLE!" THAT HAVE MADE US GREAT! And when we have lost the LOVE! and the SUPPORT of our people, our country is in trouble!!! So if you think economic problems are the ONLY PROBLEM our country faces right now......"THINK" AGAIN!

Very important to also consider Mitt Romney's role in the Leveraged Buyout of America --LBOs vs jobs. Wall St Banks and private Equity firms like Romney's Bain Capital, KKR, and Goldman Sachs enacted a large scale Leveraged Buyout of America; Venture Capital is about funding new companies; Private Equity (Mitt and associates), is about gutting established successful companies --sucking out their capital and assets, then leaving the company holding the debt bag. It is a deliberate gutting and looting of American corporations. This is the antithesis of Venture Capitalism.

Mitt Romney supports the Project for the New American Century and the Foreign Policy Initiative, the think-tank which promotes: diplomatic, economic, and military engagement IN THE WORLD! Iraq was all lies, so is Iran. The media has a war to sell you, are you buying it? Mitt Romney even named his foreign policy plan a new American Century...HOW ORIGINAL! I am voting for Ron Paul! End the wars! Here is a video of Romney and PNAC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYEsfXqHeck

Oh wwwoooowww .. CBS ...

Nice to see you finally pay attention to Dr. Paul! Oh wait, you're just paying attention to a "kickstarter" story from yesterday that got traction because the dude was able to raise his capital for the game in just a few days.

That's yesterday's news, you lame quacks.

Report on the thousands upon thousands (including myself, I was at UC Berkeley) that attend Dr. Paul's rallys, and stop contributing to the blatantly obvious censorship of Ron Paul and his ideas.

P.S. nobody likes you. or bob schieffer.

Of COURSE!

It's all CBS's fault that Ron Paul has accomplished virtually nothing other than warming a chair in all of his decades in Congress.

Keep up the rallies and angry posts. Maybe Ron Paul's numbers will break 5%.

Holy ego-trip.

Wouldn't it be more creative to have a plot making loud hints at the social commentary, inspired by the guy instead of this blatant ego-fest?

http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Keynes.html

Also, as with ANY system, it - in theory - can work but ONLY IF everybody participates fairly and ethically. That's also why Communist China isn't the paradise people pretend it to be... Any system is only as viable as those who live in and uphold its merits.

And that includes Keynes' philosophies.

Maybe Ron should give out his own ideas of solutions to problems instead of just bashing what's wrong. I mean, yes, we know banks should not have been bailed out - he's admitted that (source below). What he doesn't even hint at is what happens if the system collapses. If he has nothing to say, then he's either dumb or he is hiding something that his followers may not like. So which is it?

http://www.issues2000.org/Ron_Paul.htm

"Don't bail out banks; bail out homeowners. (Oct 2011) "
(the same can be said about any number of things...)

He's said a lot of things I agree with him on, and other things I find interesting (e.g. his "End the Fed" game), but a few things need clarification before he should be taken completely seriously.

What else is new.

I guess you don't listen to what he is actually saying then. Because in his speaches he does talk about the problems and the solutions to them.

Also to learn more about the Honest man named Ron Paul you should read Liberty Defined by Ron Paul. The book goes over several different issues that this country is facing and his thoughts on them.

Here is a good website about the solutions whyronpaul.com, or you can check out ronpaul2012.com and the dailypaul.com

Also he should be take seriously because he is one of the fair people seen the housing collapse in 2003. Also, he is the bascially the only congressman that follows and reads the Constitution.
