Ron Paul drew a crowd of 5000 in Illinois, Newt Gingrich had 70 people not far away, Mitt Romney had a few earlier in the week in St. Louis and Rick Santorum had 150 in Kansas. The media still won't cover Paul's events. It is maddening.

Is Ron Paul a Legitimate Candidate?
This is a comment I left in response to this blog post :http://toddnjenifermoss.blogspot.com/2012/01/politics-by-me.html
Being a long time Ron Paul fan -- I had a sign and bumper sticker for him in 2008-- this shed a little light for me on Republicans general refusal to consider him as a legitimate candidate. I don't think it has to do with logic and seriously considering the issues, I think it has more to do with being afraid to do something out of the ordinary. All the other candidates will give us more of the same-- keep the status quo.
Personally I'd like to see real change. I'd like to see a balanced budget and significant cuts in spending. I'd like to see us get out of these far away wars. He's the only veteran up there by the way, and he has the most money donated by military people. He wins the majority of voters in the 18-30 age group which I think gives the country as a whole hope for the future once the baby boomers get out of the way. It's time for a real change. People tend to like his consistent domestic policy-- if he's so smart that way-- can he really be so wrong on his foreign policy? And if you are voting by nice families and character -- he's got it. He doesn't flip flop at all. You know where he stands and he's done so 30 years. People are finally starting to listen.
Ron Paul is a legitimate choice and probably the only one with a real chance of beating Obama. Realistically though, I'll take Obama over the other Republican candidates because he'll be watched by Republicans. George W. Bush passed more liberal laws and did more damage to the constitution than any Democrat president could have done.
So there you go-- my little vent. To each his own!! We can still be friends!

Guantanamo and Mitt Romney contrast to Ron Paul 2002 Predictions
This is the story of an innocent man from Bosnia who was detained in Guantanamo Bay for seven years before he was finally allowed a trial and found innocent. It is not very long, but very worth reading:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/opinion/sunday/my-guantanamo-nightmare.html?_r=1
There are still prisoners in Guantanamo who have not received their day in court.
Look at what Romney said about Guantanamo during the 2008 election:
Is it any wonder I don't like Romney-- this is just one thing-- does he really know what's going on and is he willing to see the reality of many situations and deal with them?
Ron Paul on the otherhand-- Here's a video of his predictions from 2002:
My husband was the one who found all these links-- I liked them so much I wanted to share. Knowledge is power.

go Ron Paul!!!!
I whole-heartily support Ron Paul's views on the Constitution, the Fed, economic policy and FREEDOM from big government. I think he totally understands the constitution and the proper role of government. I like his idea of being non-interventionist around the world and that we need to get out of all these wars, and use that money saved to take care of things here at home. Like he told Jay Leno-- his message hasn't changed in 30 years, but people are finally fed up with what's been happening to the country and the loss of our freedoms and his message is resonating with the people. Now he's ahead in the polls for the Iowa caucus which is a big deal. The Republican elites have been trying to ignore him, but they can't any longer. So watch for a smear campaign against him and we also need to watch the election and make sure it's not stolen. I read that Iowa is taking precautions such as using paper ballots as a backup in case there are odd results as there have been in other elections especially with these stupid voting machines that are really not very secure. www.infowars.com has lots of good article on the state of the nation and Ron Paul if you want to read more.
Anyway go Ron Paul-- keep it up and thanks for staying in the race and explaining so much about the constitution, gold standard, freedom and the proper role of government!!

Ron Paul's Response to the President
This was an excellent rebutal to the ridiculous bailout plan now termed a rescue plan as Paul points out in his essay. It was very refreshing, informative and funny in places. I won't go into a lot of detail here because I think Paul's words speak for themselves. If you're not sure about what the heck is going on out there with all these failing banks and companies and buyouts, read this essay. I think it will shed some light.
We need as many educated people as possible, as Ron Paul says, go educate yourself and then educate and encourage others to do the same. If we don't educate ourselves, we could end up with something much worse, like the Amero or I don't know what else. Buy tangibles, things that have intrinsic value, have some cash on hand in case you can't get your money out of the bank, and as the LDS prophets have been saying for years: GET OUT OF DEBT and GET YOUR FOOD STORAGE!!!
Here's the link to this most excellent essay, it's not too long, please read it!!:
