Why Romney Is Losing

The GOP nominee has doubled down on the policies of a failed presidency. The presidential race may finally be turning decisively against Mitt Romney. The latest Gallup poll shows President Barack Obama leading Romney 50 percent to 44 percent, just six days after they were tied at 47 percent apiece. In the commentariat, Romney’s well publicized self-inflicted wounds have received most of the blame. Certainly the former Massachusetts governor is a flawed candidate and has run an even worse campaign. But was it really that unreasonable for Romney to assume that Obama’s economic record would make him a one-term president? Unemployment has been at least 8 percent for over 40 months ...

Iran’s President Ahmadinejad tells CNN’s Piers Morgan that backing homosexuality is for ‘capitalists’

Supporting homosexuality is the stuff of hardline capitalists who do not care about real human values, Iran’s president said. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an interview on CNN that homosexuality is a “very ugly behavior” that he said was banned by “all prophets and all religions and all faiths.” In New York to attend the UN General Assembly, Ahmadinejad said that just because some countries support homosexuality that does mean his criticism of it means he is denying people’s freedom. He ridiculed politicians and parties who, he said, approve of gays and lesbians just to win “four or five additional votes.” More broadly he said supporting ...
Guantanamo Bay: The Model for an American Police State?

“The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.” ~ James Madison For most Americans, the detention center at Guantanamo Bay – once the topic of heated political debate by presidential hopeful Barack Obama but rarely talked about by the incumbent President Obama – has become a footnote in the government’s ongoing war on terror. Yet for the approximately 167 detainees still being held in that godforsaken gulag, 86 of whom have been cleared for release yet continue to be imprisoned at the facility, Guantanamo Bay is a lesson in injustice, American-style. It is everything that those who founded America ...
Ron Paul Wants to Stop QE3 Before It Destroys America: He May Have a Point

Ron Paul will try and batter down QE3 today. And he’s on a mission. The Texas congressman, who is a fierce critic of the government’s hand in the free markets … and by default the Federal Reserve and any decision it makes …, announced that as the chairman of the Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology Subcommittee, his subcommittee would hold a hearing to examine the effects of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy on the American people. In typical flamboyant Ron Paul fashion the hearing is entitled “The Price of Money: Consequences of the Federal Reserve’s Zero Interest Rate Policy.” It will be held on Friday at 9:30 a.m. Witnesses scheduled ...
Third Party Candidate – On the Ballot In 50 States – Files Lawsuit Demanding Inclusion in Presidential Debates

Alleges Anti-Trust Violation By Democratic and Republican Parties,/B. The American people are sick of both the Republican and Democratic party, and yearn for something different. See this, this and this. No wonder … the mainstream Democratic and Republican parties agree on most matters which affect American lives the most directly. Here, here, here here and here. And – as this 4-minute video shows – they both ignore the desires of their own bases. Obama and Romney are virtually indistinguishable on most core issues. For example: jobs, freedoms and favoring fatcats instead of the little guy. The Founding Fathers warned – at the very birth of our nation – against ...

High Level contacts from within Ron Paul’s inner circle who have disclosed on a condition of anonymity, that “Jesse Benton was actually fired from C4L and stole all the lists (C4L, RP12, LPAC) before he left. Ron Paul is very upset.” Update 9/17: Multiple sources are reporting that Jesse Benton was indeed pushed out of Campaign for Liberty, due to his unpopular status within the Liberty movement. Many donors were citing Jesse to be the reason why they weren’t donating to Campaign for Liberty anymore. DailyPaul.com founder Michael Nystrom is also reporting similar information on DailyPaul, “I just got word from a trusted source that this information ...
Intervention Backfires in Libya

The attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and the killing of the U.S. ambassador and several aides is another tragic example of how our interventionist foreign policy undermines our national security. The more the U.S. tries to control the rest of the world, whether by democracy promotion, aid to foreign governments, or bombs, the more events spin out of control into chaos, unintended consequences, and blowback. Unfortunately, what we saw in Libya last week is nothing new. In 1980s Afghanistan, the U.S. supported Islamic radicals in their efforts to expel the invading Soviet military. These radicals became what came to be known as al-Qaeda, and our one-times allies turned on us most ...

At the Democratic convention, practically every speaker has applauded President Obama for effecting major positive changes in American society. In a typical speech, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick trumpeted: This is the president who delivered the security of affordable healthcare to every single American after 90 years of trying. This is the president who brought Osama bin Laden to justice, who ended the war in Iraq and is ending the war in Afghanistan. This is the president who ended “don’t ask, don’t tell” so that love of country, not love of another, determines fitness for military service. Who made equal pay for equal work the law of the land. This is the ...
On Anniversary of 9/11 tragedy, Rand Paul peddles his new book
Post Date: 2012-09-15 09:06:10 by Artisan

In a move that would make even the most cynical 9/11 skeptic cringe, Senator Rand Paul sent out a mass e-mail message on the Anniversary of the September 11th attacks peddling his new book. The freshman Senator and proud Willard Romney endorsee didn't make a single mention or reference to the largest attack on American soil, but felt it important enough to promote his book "Government Bullies". The only reason to still be signed up for "Campaign for Liberty" e-mails at this point is to be privy to the fodder for the absurd. The Paul e-mail came from rand.paul@randpacusa.com, although I guarantee I've never even heard of or been to a website called ...

At least three Republican electors say they may not support their party's presidential ticket when the Electoral College meets in December to formally elect the new president, escalating tensions within the GOP and adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the final weeks of the White House race. The electors — all are supporters of former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul — told The Associated Press they are exploring options should Mitt Romney win their states. They expressed frustration at how Republican leaders have worked to suppress Paul's conservative movement and his legion of loyal supporters. "They've never given Ron Paul a fair shot, and I'm disgusted ...
Ron Paul Op-Ed: America is Not a Democracy

From the Desk of Ron Paul: Last week marked the conclusion of the grand taxpayer funded spectacles known as the national party conventions. It is perhaps very telling that while $18 million in tax dollars was granted to each party for these lavish ordeals, an additional $50 million each was needed for security in anticipation of the inevitable protests at each event. This amounts to a total of $136 million in taxpayer funds for strictly partisan activities - a drop in the bucket relative to our disastrous fiscal situation, but disgraceful nonetheless. Parties should fund their own parties, not the taxpayer. At these conventions, leaders determined, or pretended to determine, who they ...
An Economic 'Plan'?

Former president Bill Clinton told the Democratic National Convention that Barack Obama has a plan to rescue the economy, and only the fact that the Republicans stood in his way has stopped him from getting the economy out of the doldrums. From all this, and much else that is said in the media and on the campaign trail, you might think that the economy requires government intervention to revive and create jobs. It is Beltway dogma that the government has to "do something." History tells a different story. For the first 150 years of this country's existence, the federal government felt no great need to "do something" when the economy turned down. Over that long ...

Debunking the myth of American democracy No one believed the vote on the “God and Jerusalem” wording in the Democratic platform was conducted fairly or democratically: a two-thirds vote was required to restore the deleted words and that clearly — and audibly — didn’t happen. Neither the audience nor the news media was convinced by Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s ruling that the amendment passed. But no matter. As he told the Los Angeles Times, the Mayor has the good opinion of those who really count: “I can tell you this — the president of the United States said, ‘Wow.’ The president said, ‘You showed why you were speaker of ...

8 Ways to Improve Society Without the Political Process

When a problem occurs or when something is wrong we have traditionally been conditioned to find someone who is “in charge”, a final arbiter of decision making who will have all of the answers and know all of the right things to say and do. Typically, those who have found themselves “in charge” are no more qualified or knowledgeable than those who are not, yet nonetheless these false prophets continue to swindle generation after generation of people. The worst thing about this whole situation is that these so called “authorities” maintain a monopoly on problem solving, meaning they are really the only ones who are allowed to solve problems. Thus over time ...

Ron Paul: The GOP 'Is Not My Party,' Still Not Endorsing Romney By ASHLEY PORTERO: Subscribe to Ashley's RSS feed August 31, 2012 11:44 AM EDT Former Republican presidential contender Ron Paul isn't just done with politics -- he may be done with the mainstream Republican party as a whole. The longtime Texas congressman, essentially the father of the modern American Libertarian movement, on Friday told Bloomberg News the GOP "is not his party," in response to a question about whether, when reflecting on his campaign, he is unhappy with the direction the party has taken this election cycle. "Well, it's not my party. I don't like politics at all, and ...
1976 Redux?

The Mitt Romney nomination reminds me of the 1976 convention that nominated Gerald Ford. Back then, Ford’s fixers (Dick Cheney and James Baker III) did everything they could to eviscerate Governor Reagan’s supporters at the 1976 RNC – and then tried to “reunite” the GOP and try to recoup the Reagan supporters they had alienated, all to no avail. It failed because it was sheer pretense, disingenuous on its face. Baker and his sidekick, David Gergen, hated conservatives as much as Ford hated Reagan. They hated especially the millions of “blue collar” Democrats who came to provide the backbone of the “social conservatives” that supplied ...

"There’s nothing American about what just happened," protested Nevada Republican delegate Wiselot Rouzard after the convention refused to seat the delegation from Maine. "This is the death of the Republican Party." What Wiselot and fellow Ron Paul delegates had experienced was a memorable display of the Republican Party’s fetid essence. The tactics employed by the GOP establishment to isolate, intimidate, and ultimately to expel Ron Paul delegates were the natural product of the party’s totalitarian genetics. By using criminal means to impose a monolithic, top-down process in which an entrenched oligarchy can re-write the rules to suit its whims, the ...

The latest “rights group” to jump on Russia’s President Putin about Pussy Riot is RootsAction. Following the propaganda line that Washington has established, RootsAction’s appeal for money and petition signers states that the three Russian women were sentenced to two years in prison “for the ‘crime’ of performing a song against Russia’s president Vladimir Putin in a Moscow church.” This statement is a propagandistic misrepresentation of the offense for which the women were tried and convicted. I have expressed my sympathies for the convicted women, and as a member of Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union, I support ...
Epic Fail: The GOP’s Pitiful Attempt At A ‘Tribute’ To Ron Paul

Last night, we reported on the Republican National Convention’s tribute video for Rep. Ron Paul, full of praise for the outspoken sorta-libertarian who has done an exceptional amount to change the conversation in Washington. The video featured various Republicans heaping praise on the outgoing congressman for his consistency, his fiscal responsibility, and his dedication to never backing down on his principles. Let me be a downer here and say: The GOP isn’t fooling anyone. It’s clear the party is at least somewhat afraid of losing the Paulites to Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson (or Obama, or non-voting), and this “tribute” video — much like the ...

Tonight the GOP convention will broadcast a video tribute to Ron Paul, which will then be followed with a speech by Rand, his son, the Senator from Kentucky. It has been less than a decade since the Iraq War was launched, and already the Republican party is forced to acknowledge a wing that is non-interventionist. Think about how remarkable that is. Insiders know just how disorganized the 2008 Ron Paul campaign turned out to be. And how despised he was by so many in the party. Four years later he is a more important figure in the party that Rudy Giuliani. He is the leader of a major faction. This doesn’t mean we’re going to get a reasonable foreign policy soon. But it is ...
Ron Paul Op-Ed: Meaningless Words in Politics

As we enter the fall political season, we will hear a great deal of rhetoric from both major political parties and their many candidates for office. It’s important for us to remember, however, that words can be made meaningless by misuse or overuse. And when we as citizens allow politicians to obscure the truth by distorting words, we diminish ourselves and our nation. For example, we’ve all heard politicians use the words “democracy” and “freedom” countless times. They are used interchangeably in modern political discourse, yet their true meanings are very different. They have become what George Orwell termed “meaningless words”. Words like ...
5 Questions For: Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson on being screwed over by the GOP

Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson (R-NM) threw his hat in the Republican ring during the primary season — but, unlike candidates like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MO), former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and never-elected businessman Herman Cain, he got no support from his party, was excluded from the debates and found himself in the position of either quietly withdrawing or giving his own party’s eventual candidate a run for his money. He chose the latter, and is now the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee. He talked to Raw Story about the primary, debate and presidential ballot process and how it’s totally stacked against third party candidates. Read more ...
TSA Harasses Ron Paul and His Wife in Florida

On departing the RNC in Tampa yesterday, Ron Paul, his wife and grand-daughter were subjected to harassment by the TSA at a small airport in Clearwater, Florida. Eight TSA goons told the Paul entourage they would need to be screened before they would be allowed to leave because Mitt Romney might be nearby. The insinuation was obvious — Paul and his family pose a threat to the GOP presidential candidate. After a protracted examination of Ron Paul’s credentials, the agents demanded they be allowed to check the airplane for explosives.The incident ended after Ron Paul’s wife, Carol, who has a pacemaker, refused to be screened by the TSA and an aide started taking video.The ...
