Ron Paul’s Revolution: The Man and the Movement He Inspired, Brian Doherty, Broadside Books, 304 pages I was a bit nervous about reviewing Brian Doherty’s excellent new biography of Ron Paul and his movement. The Paulites are hard to please. I could type, “Ron Paul’s Great!” a thousand times, and I’d still get a slew of emails saying, “Why do you always use such a small font when you write about Ron Paul? When are you people in the mainstream media going to give him the respect he deserves?” Most political activists can’t handle light criticism. The Paulites can’t handle light praise. A lot of journalists don’t like Paul’s people ...

New World Order Insanity: Rand Paul endorses Mitt Romney as ""precisely the person I would want to turn around a failing business like our government" May 24, 2012 Senator Rand Paul has essentially endorsed Mitt Romney as "precisely the person I would want to turn around a failing business like our government" in a Fox News clip of himself which the Senator posted to his youtube channel May 23rd. The relevant segment of the 5:52 clip begins at minute 3. Fox anchor: Vice President Joe Biden had said that just because you had worked at Bain Capitol no more qualifies you to be president, as versus being a plumber. what do you make of that quote?

TAMPA — Supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul are negotiating to hold a three-day festival of music, entertainment and activism at the Florida State Fairgrounds immediately before the Republican National Convention. Paul Festival 2012 would run from Aug. 24 to 26, ending the day before the convention begins. Details like ticket prices and who would be on stage have not been announced, but the festival could draw 20,000 or more people a day, estimated Deborah Robinet, an organizer who lives near San Diego. "Ron Paul supporters are very enthusiastic, and there's going to be a bunch of them in Tampa," said Robinet, one of five directors of the nonprofit group ...

Ron Paul Continues Delegate Grab, Big Win in Minn.

While the media-anointed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has begun campaigning against President Obama, Ron Paul continues his near stealth-like overtake of Republican delegates in state after state, highlighted this weekend by his campaign’s victory in Minnesota. Just last week, the Ron Paul camp released a memo saying they would not be campaigning in the states that have yet to hold its primaries. The national media took this as a concession of the GOP nominee to Mitt Romney, but those close to the campaign say it was anything but. It has been known that Ron Paul and his grassroots supporters have been attempting to take as many delegates as possible, even after a ...

When the April figures on unemployment were released May 4, they were more than disappointing. They were deeply disturbing. While the unemployment rate had fallen from 8.2 percent to 8.1 percent, 342,000 workers had stopped looking for work. They had just dropped out of the labor market. Only 63.6 percent of the U.S. working age population is now in the labor force, the lowest level since December 1981. During the Reagan, Bush I and Clinton years, participation in the labor force rose steadily to a record 67 percent. The plunge since has been almost uninterrupted. Here is a major cause of the economic malaise of the 21st century, a condition over which a president has little control. A ...
Ron Paul Coup in Minnesota GOP

Texas Congressman Ron Paul emerged from the Minnesota state Republican Party convention in St. Cloud with a clean sweep, winning nearly all the national convention delegates available for his presidential campaign in addition to a party endorsement of the Paul-aligned U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Paul's campaign organized at the precinct, congressional, and state levels to win the 13 delegates chosen May 19 at the state convention. One Paul-aligned prospective delegate graciously stepped aside — resulting in Paul garnering 12 of the 13 available slots — so local Congresswoman and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann ...
Robin Koerner on Blue Republicans and Why Ron Paul Remains the Hope for the US's Future

Introduction: Robin Koerner is an influential political journalist who coined the term "Blue Republican." He also runs WatchingAmerica.com, a volunteer force some 400 strong that finds and translates news and views about the USA from all over the world. This interview was conducted prior to the announcement that Congressman and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul (whom Koerner backs) would not further contest various states in the Republican primary. However, Ron Paul has not given any indication he is actually dropping out of the race and Koerner's statements below thus stand as stated (unless Ron Paul issues further clarifications) without need of further clarification.

In response to the question in the title I can report that most of my readers are. Almost everyone got the point of the last column. They see the absurdity of the government’s claim that the identity of the tough, macho Navy Seals, who allegedly murdered Osama bin Laden, has to be kept secret in order to protect our fierce warriors from reprisals from Muslim terrorists, while those government officials responsible for the torture and deaths of large numbers of Muslims can walk around, identity known, unprotected and safe. A few members of Congress are also awake, but not very many. Indeed, we are losing two of the most aware–Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Kucinich was ...
What Does Ron Paul Want?

More than the White House, he wants a movement primed for victory This is the question puzzling Paul’s friends, as well as his enemies. A recent announcement by the campaign that the anti-interventionist Congressman and presidential candidate is not spending money in the remaining primary states provoked a Drudge headline: "Paul Out." That is the GOP Establishment’s fondest wish, but the reality is that Paul is far from "out": his campaign is merely recalibrating its tactics, concentrating on getting delegates through the complicated and often arcane process of party caucuses and state conventions. In short, Paul is pursuing the very same strategy he’s ...

(*snip*) The point of this, as Paul himself has said and Benton repeatedly emphasized, is not to disrupt the convention in any way. "Rolling into the convention with a strong delegation, having hundreds of supporters there, sends a very strong message," Benton said. "We're here, our supporters are here, we're positive and respectful -- we're emphasizing decorum and we're going to do everything in our power to work with our supporters to make sure that decorum and respect are the name of the game. But we're going to respectfully show that our supporters are here, and we're the wave of the future." (*snip*) He added: "We're bringing ...
Ron Paul can still be president — through a new video game

Ron Paul can still be president — through a new video game It doesn’t look like Ron Paul is going to win the White House this year. But in one Paul supporter’s world of virtual reality, the Texas congressman can take up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue any time you’d like. With Paul’s announcement on Monday that he would no longer campaign actively in remaining primary states, his movement has shifted focus away from getting the 76-year-old suburban Houston libertarian elected president. But the self-style Paul “revolutionaries” still care passionately about their leader’s message of liberty at home and non-intervention abroad. And that’s ...

Ron Paul Switches Gears The day before the official debut of Brian Doherty’s Ron Paul’s Revolution — the new book on the man, his crusade and his many enthusiastic supporters — Ron Paul slipped his 2012 presidential campaign into neutral: Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future. Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. The BBC puts Ron Paul’s delegate count at 104, with frontrunner Mitt Romney 178 ...
Some Historical Perspective for Ron Paul Activists
Post Date: 2012-05-16 08:56:42 by Ada

I've been somewhat surprised by the absolutely hysterical reaction among some RP activists to Ron Paul's announcement that he's shifting resources toward winning more delegates instead of blowing it on straw polls in new primaries. In some of the forums, alleged "supporters" are hurling insults at both Ron and his staffers. I remember how after 2008, some people I talked to pledged to "never give money ever again" to Ron Paul because he "wasn't serious" about winning. These people think elections are all that matter, but that's not how political and intellectual movements work. The election of numerous libertarian candidates will be a ...
Mitt Romney: The Foreign Policy of Know-Nothingism

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has become the inevitable Republican Party presidential nominee. Despite the weak economy, he faces an uphill race. It’s never easy to defeat an incumbent president. Moreover, Romney can’t rely on the GOP’s traditional foreign-policy advantage. Throughout the Cold War Republicans posed as the party of national defense. That stance served the GOP well until the wreck of George W. Bush’s presidency. The public rallied around President Bush when he ordered the invasion of Iraq but soured when it became clear that the war was an unnecessary disaster begun on a lie. Republican politicians continue to beat the war drums. All of this ...

Congressman Ron Paul has announced that he will no longer be using resources to campaign in primary states, instead focusing all of his efforts on delegate-selection events as he vows to continue to vie for GOP nomination for presidential candidate. Rep. Paul (R-Texas) issued a statement on his official website on Monday announcing that he will immediately begin to concentrate on collecting delegates at state conventions in lieu of traditional campaigning in states where he will have to compete in GOP presidential primaries. “Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message ...

Let's face it...Ron Paul has gotten farther than anyone thought. A lot farther. He continues to gain against the other candidates and continues to spread the message of liberty. Ron is the man! But this process has just begun and according to the Road to Roota Theory he will ultimately take his place as President of the United States. It has been carefully crafted and orchestrated by the Good Guys and they are on track. If you think it is still a long, long shot think again. The GOP Primary process is NOT a popularity contest but rather a contest to see who can secure the most delegates at the Republican Convention. Here's a great explanation of the process: For Ron Paul and Rick ...

They’re running for Ron Paul’s house seat — but running away from his record Ron Paul is a tough act to follow, and the major Republican candidates running to replace him in Congress are not even trying. It is hard enough to get voters to remember their names — there are nine Republicans running — in an election that is rife with confusion because of a delayed primary date and redrawn boundaries. And for all the hero worship Paul has cultivated among a small but vocal subset of the electorate, nobody is rushing to imitate “Dr. No.” “I don’t get a sense that people are looking for the next Ron Paul,” said Jay Old, a Beaumont lawyer and the ...
Ron Paul stuns in Arizona, upset win is game changer!

In a repeat of Iowa, where a Mitt Romney State Chairman held up accurate results of the vote for weeks, the Arizona State Convention has gone into overtime. Ballots are supposedly locked up, waiting to be counted “tomorrow.” But citizens and journalists on the floor had no trouble discerning that Ron Paul forces had seized the day and if the vote is fair, he will likely win the majority of delegates from Arizona to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. If the victory in Arizona proves true, and remember, there is a tantalizing and suspicious delay, then Ron Paul will likely win the right to be nominated on the floor of the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

The Nevada Republican Party convention this month was pretty much like every other GOP convention: Floor arguments over obscure Robert's Rules of Order, bylaws and credentials. Lots of proverbial sound and fury signifying nothing. Only this year, on steroids. The convention was fairly evenly split between Mitt Rom ney supporters and party loyalists vs. Ron Paul supporters and many Tea Party activists — with the insurgents enjoying a sufficient majority not only to elect 22 out of 25 of their own to go to the GOP national convention in Tampa, but to oust the party's sitting National Committeeman and Committeewoman, as well. The rabble's success has many establishment ...
