Ron Paul is no "long-shot". I wish the media would stop trying to bury him. He''s got the support of middle-class America - and they don''t want to admit it. Go Ron Paul!

I have to cry b**sh*T on this a vote for so and so is a vote for terrorism. ALL the candidates love our country and have the ability to direct our military, cia, etc properly to keep our country safe. The only "candidates" truly incapable of that is the bush admin which some got elected TWICE!!! I am still so disgusted when I think of that I think people you got what you deserved! How could anyone vote for bush again?? My god, he has been borrowing money that we repay with interest to give tax breaks to the wealthy and people went down and voted him in again????????????? Ohhhhhh Arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh Oh and handing out phony purple hearts as a rank on Kerry. How utterly competely cheesy and insulting and people voted him in again???????? Call me totally disgusted!

Thank you, CBS for a straight up news story!

Ron Paul was awesome on Meet the Press! I loved watching him school Russert on the Constitution, the Civil War and how Federal earmarks work. The truth trumps political gamesmanship every time!

Ron Paul is going to win the nomination!

Thanks to Ron Paul and the internet, we the people are finally waking up!

I can''t begin to tell you how great if feels to be a part of the re"love"ution! Join us and help take back our country!


Ron Paul 2008!

I am happy for all of the Ron Paul supporters on all sides of the aisle that they have found a candidate that they can place the faith of our nation in. Here is a hint though , stop referring to him as Dr. No, the first image that comes to mind is from the James Bond movie of the same name. Defend but do not distort his positions and always have a grain of pessimism in your optimism about your candidate, our nation has endured to much and needs a new path let the path that is chosen be the correct one. I cannot join you in your zest, nor can I join any other candidate in support at present time regardless of political/religious affiliation. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Ron Paul rocks!
Individual freedom rocks!
The Constitution rocks!
Our country has slowly become what it once fought against and it is disgusting. Even our money has become something that others what accept because it is such a farce. Something needs to be done and seems that Ron Paul is the only candidate that is will to go against the media driven politics and go back to a constitution driven county.

Ron Paul represents the best hope of reestablishing this county back to a Constitutional government and representation. Unfortunately, there is a very large corporate and Federal Reserve banking infrastructure which will fight tooth and nail against any deconstruction of the status-quo.

I firmly believe we are likely, unable to fully %u201Cmend%u201D the Constitutional cancers that have affixed themselves to the holes and amendments we have allowed to be inflicted by our legislators and Executive orders from a president that emulate a drive-up window at McDonalds.

However how painful, a revolution must accompany the next changes in our government to de-scale and reestablish our federal, state and local governments to their proper and legitimate place.
If we are going to be a third world country in the next 15 - 20 years, let%u2019s do it with some dignity and show them our system of government will not be another flash-in-the-pan experiment that can be bought by international entities and markets%u2026.

I am 53 and a previous Republican Navy/Vet. and the Republicans left me years ago to follow their own persuasions and promises.
