Man, to have a new breed of president. Can you imagine the reform under Dr. Paul. When you see these Dem and Rep. campaign strategists like eager salesmen seeking a big sale, and you wonder what the hey do they think their candidate has to offer. It''s the same old thing. Over and over. The sme old thing. It''s really time for a change.

This is another example of Dr. Paul''s honesty. Clinton or Giuliani would keep the funds unless they feared getting caught. Ron Paul is the only viable candidate for president.

With the full support of Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain, President Bush recently signed into Law the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which, according to Senator Leahy (VT), will actually "encourage the President to declare Martial Law." It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of Laws that limits the President''s ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic Law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush has now undone those prohibitions. Public Law 109-364, or the John Warner Defense Authorization Act (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the President in a private ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency," suspend Congress and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of your Governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder." President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act. In a sense, the two Laws compliment one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad of those who dissent and are stripped of their citizenship, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home, preparing to order the military onto the streets of America. STOP THIS MADNESS! Vote for Ron Paul.

All of these trade deals and world governmental organizations that all of the presidential candidates support (except Ron Paul), such as the ICC, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, are all major threat to our nation''s sovereignty. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a prescription to take herbs and vitamins. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws to meet their needs, and not our own. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. The NAFTA superhighway, which is currently being built, is just one part of a plan to erase our borders and create the North American Union, a single nation State like the EU, out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new, unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under the NAU scheme. There won''t be any borders anymore, or a free America. Our limited, constitutional government, will be gone forever. Let''s not forget the UN either. It wants to impose a direct Carbon Tax on us. Ron Paul successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are going to stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to rule over us, we need someone in the White House who knows how to say "No." We must withdraw from any organizations or treaty that infringes upon our nation''s sovereignty. Vote AMERICA FIRST! Vote for Ron Paul.

WHAT''S HILLARY HIDING?
Senator Clinton''s political camp are blocking the release of presidential papers about discussions in the White House in the 1990s concerning the Whitewater investigation. Bruce Lindsey, a top adviser to former President Bill Clinton, issued a lengthy statement on Friday evening saying that Mr. Clinton had asked him that records related to communications with Senator Clinton be withheld, and that Mr. Clinton had asked him not to release of any presidential documents. Mrs. Clinton, in an interview with Radio Iowa on Saturday, she said she did not know what the papers would reveal, but she would nevertheless refuse to release them. "I think it''s like people think we have boxes of records in our basement and why don''t I just go and get them and hand them over," she said. "And you know my husband has never blocked a record ever. He has been the most forthcoming of all presidents." In interviews recently, lawyers and experts on presidential papers said it was unusual for a President to want a close review of documents that might have political dimensions. "Senator Clinton doesn''t have the power to override federal privacy Laws; they protect all the other people who wrote or participated in conversations," said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive. Senator Barack Obama is urging that she expedite the release of documents as quickly as possible.

HILLARY CLINTON MAKES RACIST COMMENTS
Sen. Hillary Clinton drew criticism recently for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in which she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history. Responding to the speech, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called her remarks "a little bit over the top." "I''ve never run a plantation before. I''m not even sure of what kind of association she''s trying to make," said the speaker, a Republican from Illinois. "If she''s trying to be racist, I think that''s unfortunate, but I''m not going to comment any further on that." One of Clinton''s Republican congressional colleagues from New York, Rep. Peter King, said the Senator "should be ashamed." "It''s definitely using the race card. It definitely has racist connotations. She knows it," King said. "She knew the audience. She knew what she was trying to say, and it was wrong. And she should be ashamed." However, the host of the event where Clinton made her remarks, activist Al Sharpton, agreed with the criticism.

CLINTON HIRES CRIMINAL AND RECEIVES $850,000
On Sept. 20, CBS News (quietly) reported that Hillary Clinton''s campaign fundraiser Norman Hsu was being charged in New York with running a ponzi scheme that involved illegal campaign contributions to her presidential campaign. He was a leading money bundler for Clinton, and had actually earned the nickname, "HillRaiser" from Hillary for his efforts at collecting donations for her. Ultimately, her campaign was forced to return $850,000 in donations that were linked to Hsu. Afterwards, Clinton promised, "stricter scrutiny of donors." Hsu was actually a wanted fugitive, with an outstanding Felony Warrant, the entire time he worked for Clinton. Hsu''s ponzi scheme involved getting people to invest in what appeared to be a lucrative financial investment while at the same time getting those individuals to donate money to Hillary Clinton''s presidential campaign. Hsu was wanted in California on charges stemming from a 15-year-old Felony Theft conviction. Shouldn''t we demonize Hillary, like CBS is (clearly) attempting to demonize Ron Paul? I''m suprised CBS doesn''t Photoshop some devil horns on top of his head in that worst possible photograph they always use of him. The fact is, folks, no candidate can control who does, and who doesn''t donate money to their campaign. Candidates can only return money when they discover that it has been donated illegally. However, Ron Paul doesn''t staff his campaign with CRIMINALS LIKE HILLARY does.

The main thing Dr. Paul''s campaign 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. It''s all a phony, poorly staged left-right paradigm. Most people, though, are too distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information aimed at keeping their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them, that they fail to recognize this. Those currently in power, and those being groomed to take [major] political power, are preselected by the "global elite," and whomever is eventually elected, will ultimately, serve their will, and not ours. 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 the government should have over our lives and 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.

Every single one of the politicians and extremely rich powerful elite that run tour government from behind the scenes is AFRAID of RON PAUL!! CBS fears him so much that they have no choice but, to censor his coverage, try to make-up hateful lies about him, and limit your exposure to him. They are so afraid that you might wake up and realize you are being lied to every day. Everytime you turn on the news owned by Rupert or Turner you are being misled!

All these Ron Paul is a racist post I see are nothing but socialist Clinton supporters trying to sell you cyanide, and call it "mother''s milk." They know Ron Paul is going to get a lot of supporters who might have voted for Hillary. I''m one of them.

VOTE RON PAUL! SEMPER FI!

Posted by TrueProphet -- is there something seriously wrong wtih your brain? posts like yours are the reason 99% of society looks down upon people like you and your causes.
A) Hsu wasnt using a Ponzi scheme to get people to donate money to Clinton, he pressured some of them to give donations, and also transferred money to some to give donations in their names, which is against campaign finance laws.
B) as soon as Clinton''s campaign found out about it they returned all money Hsu bundled for them regardless of if any of it was legit or not.
C) Bundler''s arent employed by campaigns, Clinton doesnt ''Hire'' anyone to be a bundler any more than Ron Paul or any other candidate does.

Any Republican or democrat that makes an Actual false accusation against a political candidate is only making themselves look stupid, the supported candidate look stupid and the accused candidate look innocent and persecuted by people with an agenda.
If you people cant come up with something legit, dont say it. Im tired of hearing lies from both sides.
Why dont you go check out FactCheck.org or one of the new ones that cropped up to make your claims.

"Ron Paul is simply an old fashioned racist."

What, because he preaches self-responsibility?

ironically this is tied to the closed indictment of bernard kerik... turns out the cards were stolen by girlianni and his police commissioner buddy and thier mob buddies, and they were checking to see if the cards worked before heading to paris to splurge on all the latest styles in fancy dresses and exotic lipstick.

Most intelligent people can see right through CBS News'' bias against Ron Paul. "What about their polls?", you ask? As someone who''s been in the business, I know you can make a poll result look anyway you want. CBS News doesn''t even put Paul on the list of GOP candidates that pollees can choose from. Then they report he scores "0%" in their tally. You can see the man has support. He''s won ALL of the viewer call-in polls in ALL of the GOP debates he''s been in. People everywhere are in the street, and on the Net, supporting him like no other. And his campaign chest is growing daily, and not from huge corporate donations like the other GOP and Democratic party candidates get from defense contractors and bankers, but from grass root supporters who give what little they can afford--$5, $10, whatever. This is a 21st Century political revolution, my friends, and the Oligarchs or on the defensive. Ignore what the media network giants like CBS tell you. They sold-out to the status quo decades ago. This man has some major grass roots support across this country. Millions of Americans believe he is our only hope to restore peace, prosperity and freedom in this country. Presidential candidates with the personal integrity and proven track record of adherance to The Constitution Congressman, Paul has always demonstrated only come around only once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky. The stakes are too high. The cause of freedom is too important. Get off your couch, put the remote down and support Ron Paul!
