I think I missed Keyes, too. Hell, I might have missed a bunch.

Is Brownback even in the race anymore????
Missed him? He's the front runner in Iowa and he's looking real good in South Carolina.

You can't expect the higher-ups to do all that for you. If you have something to say about Huckabee, you have complete freedom to start a discussion. Plains has promised to give it a sticky.

Just seems like people don't give a shit about Huckabee. I'm sure stoners would just think "Sounds like some good food at 2am:"

Default Vote Ron Paul this january in primaries

Recently a friend and I were discussing Common Sense by Thomas Paine. My friend's statement to me, "When has common sense ever been common?" I respond, "When was the last time the America people were allowed to have any common sense?"

By surrendering our freedom, we surrendered our common sense. We have surrendered our freedoms to the government. We have surrendered our freedoms to the banks. We have surrendered our freedoms to the corporations. We have surrendered our freedoms to our faiths. We have surrendered our freedoms to fear. All that we are left to be are mindless consumers on autopilot, proved by the lack of savings, insurmountable debt, and lack of effort to bring about World Peace in the richest country of the world. Our children are born to American servitude.

We are leaving a terrible history behind. We have forgotten how this country came to be. Back in 1776, we, the people, came to our senses and decided the government that ruled us did not represent us. We, the people, came to our senses and realized we were being taxed unfairly and being oppressed by government and corporations. We drafted a very clever document, the Constitution, our highest law of the land to free us. It is time we again turned to that document and followed it strictly. It freed us once before, it will free us again.

It is time that we, the people, take back our country, reboot the system, and start rebuilding this nation. We have moved into the 21st century and it is time for 21st century Americans to step up, take charge, and steer our country in the right direction.

70 percent of us think the war is wrong, but yet our troops still fight on. Our troops don't belong there. They were sent in for all the wrong reasons, we all know this instinctively, and they should be pulled out immediately. The USA is OUR country. The USA is the ONLY country we should be concerned about fixing the democracy in. I do not advocate killing, and that is what the USA has become known for in the world. We are the aggressors. We are the ones viewed as terrorists. We are the ones who are hated. I'm sure you don't like the sound of that, neither do I, and that is why it must change.

Have you ever touched an amazing product, picked it up and saw a label "Made ENTIRELY in the USA"? Can't think of a time? me neither. The reason why is because we import everything. We spend all of our money buying and giving away our money to foreign countries and a minority elite, at the same time have stopped producing quality made USA products. The middle class is disappearing because corporations, banks, government, and greed have decided to bypass the American people and turn us all into consumers and debtors. This must change.

My common sense tells me it is wrong that I struggle to pay for my gas to get to work, while record profits are earned each year in the oil industry. My common sense tells me it is wrong that I cannot afford to insure a house in a Florida because a hurricane may come through. My common sense tells me it wrong that our country spends trillions of dollars in weapons and death. My common sense tells me it is wrong that the common American has been enslaved to corporate advertising and merchandising and controlled media. My common sense tells me it is wrong that the planet idles by while an entire continent can be ravaged, impoverished, starved, murdered, and fester in disease. My common sense tells me there is an unfair distribution of wealth. My common sense tells me we are all being manipulated. My common sense is telling me I am being robbed.

My common sense also tells me Americans, deep down, have plenty of common sense, are fed up, and want change.

I think if we put OURSELVES in "time out" and reflected on the reality that faces us, the present, we would realize how weak, unpatriotic, and unjust our society actually is. I know the richest country on the planet is capable of so much more. A society should be measured by how it treats its worse off. Why can't we co-operate for once, unite as a country, and raise the bar?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, well so do I. My dream includes the day I stand proud to be an American again. On that day, our society, before profit, before taxation, freely provides food, shelter, education, energy, communication, protection, transportation, and physical and emotional care to any and every person; effectively removing the struggle of survival and ensuring 21st century basic inalienable rights to human beings. This is NOT something the governments can provide, it must come from us, the people. How can we claim to be the dominant species of the world when we fail to realize through common sense, and nature, that when groups come together the total suffrage is reduced. It's time for 21st century thinking, use your common senses.

This country is hurt. We are good people, and we are not terrorists. We are a country that should lead by example, and not by force. It's about time we've realized that it is 1776 all over again. It's time for an awakening, a revolution, and the liberation of the 21st century American people. Now is the time to show the world what the United States of America is all about.

Change is upon us. The time to start using our common sense begins now. This is the time to stand behind a true leader who can carry us into a new age.

Who can we trust to do this?

How about selecting a man who has been ridiculed for standing behind the Constitution? How about selecting a descent, honorable man, a man with integrity and distinction?
I know of a man who can be trusted based on his arguments, his compassion, and his sincerity. I know of a man who is unwavering in his commitment to this country and preserving the freedoms this country was founded on. I know of a man who speaks courageously in the face of large government, corporations, and banks to consistently vote against their aggression. I know of a man who speaks truth and whom we should be listening to. He is a 10 time congressmen. He is a healer. He is a man that uses his common sense. He is a man of the people for the people and he is running for President. That man is Dr. Ron Paul.

Dr. Ron Paul is bringing a new wave of patriotism that has not been seen in this country for 200 years. You may not be aware of it, but the Internet and many parts of world have taken notice, and a revolution is already under way. Hear the man's message, hear our message to the world, and rally behind the next President of the United States. Join the wave that is taking us into the 21st century, the rebirth of United States of America in the hands of a healer.

Dr. Paul has cured my apathy and renewed my American Spirit. He has my vote, and is the only candidate I trust. I would be honored to follow such a man into battle as my Commander and Chief.

Dr. Ron Paul is soon to be one of OUR most respected Presidents. He deserves to be carved into Mt. Rushmore and honored for reminding us that we have strayed and for placing us back on the path toward a better world.

Ron Paul lost Iowa. He got 10% of the vote, good enough for fifth place.

He didn't even campaign there

Because he knew it would be a waste of time and resources.

10% from Iowa is not a defeat. Huckabee (the winner) got a whopping 14% of non evangelical voters...New Hampshire is a whole 'nother ball game, since they are more independent (minded, not political party but a lot of those too) and way less religious.

Also, depending how you look at the numbers, he didn't come in 5th. If you look at the number of counties he won he's in 3rd.

It's looking like Faux snooze might end up letting him in on the Jan 6th debate as well, they're taking a serious hit from a lot of angles over their stunt.

I'm a big fan of Ron Paul, and if he seems to be doing good, he will deffinitly get my vote in the first election i can vote in.

He seems like an honest candidate who can speak his mind.

ANd with the dissent of the republican party and most of the democratic front runners having some major flaws (clinton being a woman who many people dont like) and Obama being a black man (which many people dont like) I think Paul has a chanse of stealing many of the young democratic votes.

I think the notion of Ron Paul winning is kind of a shot in a million. We have to remember that since he is openly a proponent to the legalization of marijuana that not only are there people on his side, but supposedly more whom are not on his side and will vote against him based entirely on his openness about marijuana. To boot, he was virtually nameless before this election. Oh and I forgot to mention that he's a republican. After Bush, this country is less likely to vote republican than it is to elect Hilary. (Nothing against her or anyone for her.) Bahaha. I think Obama is overall the best candidate. My only fear is radical racism which could ignite some very serious issues if Obama becomes a serious front runner i.e. assassination, which would be a shame.
