Let's say he does Chet. How does that help Paul? Conservatives aren't going to throw their support to Paul because he's the last one standing. They aren't going to suddenly be anti war because Paul is. They'd just pick someone else. McCain could get caught fucking an antelope and it still wouldn't help Paul.

:shock:

Hey! Looks like the conservatives are going to make a last ditch effort for Huckabee.

James Dobson, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, backed Mike Huckabee's presidential bid Thursday night, giving the former Arkansas governor a long-sought endorsement as the Republican field narrowed to a two-man race.


A two-man race. Meh.

I'm worried about Clinton big time. I think Obama is a good guy and is pretty smart, although the spending increases he proposes I don't think are realistic, and would definitely cripple the economy even further. I also am not 100% convinced he won't change his tune about the Iraq War/civil liberties if hes elected to office.

Ok, you're right, but the majority of Americans don't support the war, and the economy is (correct me if I'm wrong) the most important issue of this election according to recent polls (the numbers I've seen anyway). Yeah, it might be hard for a lot of them to put aside the war, but I'm sure they can get behind Pauls no tax/balanced budget message a lot easier than tax-raising/Feingold bill/amnesty McCain.

I guess I'm really optimistic here, but Paul does win points with conservatives on many issues (just not the war right now), whereas McCain is having to struggle to prove himself conservative.

This thread doesn't do nearly as much to make me like Ron Paul as it does to make me hate the media. I'm not sure if this is an intended consequence or not, but damn is it effective.

I know, thats one of the big things that many non-Paul supporters fail to see.

Even if a person despises Ron Paul, they should still be shocked and outraged in how the MSM has unfairly influenced this election and the systemic bias against non-establishment candidates.

Imagine if Paul had of got McCain or Romney's treatment from the media? I remember seeing a CNN clip that compared how many times McCain was mentioned in the media compared to Ron Paul, the number astronomical.

If its McCain vs. Hillary watch places like Fox dump Republican's and start hob knobbing Hillary. The media are whores to power, they only pretend to be liberal or conservative while being purposely divisive and pandering to peoples prejudices. :?

Paul has a new video message up. He wants to have a march to Washington, but I haven't heard a date yet.


Restore the Republic website wrote:
RTR Washington, DC - In a recent video posted by the Ron Paul Campaign, Presidential front runner Ron Paul calls on his supporters for a full scale march on Washington. Reinforcing his presidential bid he instructed his base "...Stay engaged, stay active and do not be disillusioned... we can't drop the ball right now."

His proposal for a march on Washington began, "There is something we ought to do, I think we ought to have a grand display... we should have a true march...", Paul stated before cautioning his supporters about the risks of such an action. The leading contender for the White House alluded that a march on Washington could send as powerful a message as the money bombs forcing the media to take notice once again. Paul cautioned, "...at the same time if nobody shows up... it might mean that there are not enough of us, that we don't have the energy... maybe we didn't want to go to Washington."

Paul reflected on political rallies of the past, "...but others have gone to Washington and people remember the grand rallies..." His message was clear, "I'm at a point where we need to make a grand stand... stand firm see where the numbers are... see if the remnant is there and see how big it is. We cannot count the remnant but we can certainly energize those whom have been identified already..."

Positive feedback has already been given as Paul stated, "I have talked with others and they say this is a great idea..."

His talk also mentioned the music of the Ron Paul Revolution, "...There so much good music associated with this campaign there is no reason we can't do what others have done in Washington."

Realizing the hour our republic is in he remarked that we are at a crossroads and we need to turn this country around real soon. Remembering the beginning of his campaign, "... we weren't ready and that's why I was reluctant... but when I got involved I found out that there were many more than I ever dreamed of... now were at a point and I believe it is more crucial, we have to realize exactly where we stand.

"If we do this right and we really have a grand rally, and a grand march, and then their are question marks left... then they will know that we cannot be ignored... they know we are a force and a growing force... so I'm throwing this out as an idea and I hope everybody will join... because if it isn't an acceptable Idea there will be no purpose in it, and it won't do us any good, but I happen to believe that is can work and it has to work... so if we really want to take a stand for freedom take a stand that nobody can ignore us."

"This grand march on Washington... would have to be done rather soon I'm not talking about six months or a year I'm talking about rather soon 3 or 4 months... before the convention... so hopefully we can put this all together... hopefully I can get the enthusiasm from all of you just I have received enthusiastic support for this campaign... this is no time to back off this is the time to march forward."

Days that should be considered are Monday May 1st Labor day, the start of summer, a day when everyone has off (about 2 1/2 months away) or perhaps Saturday, June 15th, Flag day (4 months away). These dates would give the adequate amount of time to plan and execute such a grand event.

Stay tuned to http://RestoreTheRepublic.com for the latest developments on the Ron Paul March on Washington.
