What''s Ron''s message? Whatever you think Dr. Paul''s campaign is about, the main thing it has done thus far is to serve as a clearinghouse for voters like me who feel unrepresented by New World Order Fasciscts (mainstream Republicans) and their Socialist comrades in crime (mainstream Democrats). They''re actually one and the same. There is no real difference between the two parties. Most people, though, are too distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information and entertainment aimed at imprisoning their minds and keeping their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them, to recognize this. Those currently in power, and those being groomed to take [major] political power, are the global elite, and we are their "Plebs." People on the right and those on the left have many differences, maybe irreconcilable ones. But they have a lot of common beliefs too, and their numbers and anger are of a considerable magnitude. No matter what happens in 2008, I personally believe Ron Paul will influence the national conversation about what the role of the federal government is, how much power should government have over our lives, how much liberty we should give up for security. These are important issues, and frankly, no one''s talking about them as seriously and sincerely as Ron Paul. What''s for sure is that his growing army of supporters like me will be a force to be reckoned with in 2008.

ziparmux,.......Here in the United States our school system has "hushed" our founding fathers history in general for two generations. This fact coupled with wealth lead our elected leaders to please some of our citizens unconstitutional "wants" while at the same time clandestinely (by precedents) confiscating our constitutional "needs". It has been a very slow "frog boiling" strategy against our rights. But as of lately, I think that the current events and information available on the internet regarding the unconstitutional folly of our leaders have "woke us up" as never before........We are NOT going to sleep like this again. This is why Ron Paul is the "man of the hour" to start the house cleaning process that is way over do. What I have said is just a tidbit of information that needs to be addressed.

I think if Bush read Eisenhower''s quotes from a teleprompter, he''d still screw them up.

What a distinction bewtween Bush and Eisenhower, respecting the quotes.

Who in the future will quote anything from Bush that represent, (thought for a while) anything of value to anyone? No one unless they have an IQ of -106.

The picture that history will epitomise Bush Jr with is, the morning of 9/11, where he aptly (even that is going it bit far) was reading a picture/story book to young children. He was in the wrong place in the classroom, he belonged with those he was reading to. History will laugh when they see these images of the President, of the USA shuffling in a chair like a 5 years old while the capital city was under seige, by Al-CIA-da.

Here''''s some of my favorite Quotes from George W. Bush:

"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we''re really talking about peace." %u2014Washington, D.C. June 18, 2002

"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn''t do my job." %u2014to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004

%u201CWe found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories %u2026 And we''ll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven''t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they''re wrong, we found them." %u2014Washington, D.C., May 30, 2003

"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere!" %u2014President George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., March 24, 2004

"If this were a dictatorship, it''d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I''m the dictator." %u2014Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2000

"There''s an old saying in Tennessee %u2014 I know it''s in Texas, probably in Tennessee %u2014 that says, fool me once, shame on %u2014 shame on you. Fool me %u2014 you can''t get fooled again." %u2014Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

Here''s some of my favorite Eisenhower Quotes:

You don''t lead by hitting people over the head-that''s assault, not leadership.

Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional rights, we are weakening our own claim to them.

"Don''t join the book burners. Don''t think you''re going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don''t be afraid to go in your library and read every book...."

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.

There''s no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

War settles nothing.

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.

Out of all the quotes, I think the one above is the most poignant, given the circumstances we face.
