He''s just catering to drug-addicts like Rush Limbaugh who think they deserve a second chance. I say lock Rush up and throw away the key!

If Americans don%u2019t wake up their will be nothing left, our Nation is broke and Wall Street is the only people making a profit. While the Hidden inflation tax continues to rise and the value of the dollar declines. Ron Paul is the only one who truely understands this, and honestly if he is not elected America should be prepared for a real economic depression like it has never seen before.

Unless you want a North American Union and a new currency the "Amero" split with Canada and Mexico. And lose all your rights and freedom. Vote For Ron Paul 2008!

So my advice is to bypass the media and spread the word to your family and friends about him. The power of the People is far greater than a campaign spending 10''s of million to buy an image. Because this man is a real American Hero. He has dedicated his life to this country and everyone in it, and now he is trying to save it from disaster.

Spread The Word! Go Ron Paul 2008!

Ron Paul Has Raised $838,000 in 5 Days from people who really love this country and their freedom!

This might endear him to some more,um, "liberal-minded" folks, but the guy just does not have enough experience to conduct world affairs on our behalf. Jackson said he was "acting white" so now he''s "acting black".

I have said for years that we need to revise the drug laws in this country. If you look at the results of prohabition it is clear that as long as there is a demand there will be people who are willing to take the risks to supply that demand. It all comes down to money...if you remove the profit motive you remove the criminal element. I''m not saying that drugs are OK, but since it is clear that people are going to use drugs it makes sense to regulate and control them. Instead of wasting millions on ineffective efforts to stop the flow lets look at treatment programs to help those who want to stop doing drugs. Anyone who is heavy into drugs will reach a point where they want to stop so let''s give them a place to get help. Let''s get real..."just say no" didn''t work.

I like this guy too . . . I just wish he would confront Hillary more directly in the debates. As it is now, it seems more like he''''s campaigning to get a place in her cabinet.

"I agree with Hillary." "I agree with Barrack." How many times did I hear that in the last debate? It''''s like the frigin'''' mutual admiration society.

I like this proposal.

I also really like his proposal for tax relief for the middle class and poor.

When someone who gets caught with marijuana ends up doing more time than a minister''s wife who kills her husband, we can safely say the scales are extremely out of balance. Judges say they have to follow the law but it''s clear to a blind man that they have their own agendas they follow. Time for change.
