He wrote a book?
Is this another way for him to get money?

He's raised over $6,000,000 and what is he doing with it?

This guy is corrupt sleep.gif

Ron Paul gathered funds to help his race to become US President. Now he is out of it, but there is no way he has used $6,000,000.
If he claims to stand for freedom and fixing the US economy etc, he would give back the money he doesn't need (and he doesn't need it, we know that for sure) to ensure people have more money and the economy can be sustained.

Or is he just gathering large sums of money so he can buy his way to play a part in a new world order...
(That's me applying your logic to the situation).

Ron Paul didn't need that money, he won't use that money, he doesn't need it anymore.
How long was he even in the race after his big donation drive?
Maybe I'm just being a cynic, but the man who claimed to stand for so much seems to be contradicting himself sleep.gif

He used it for his congressional race... In case you haven't looked, and I know you are just brain dead enough not to.

Ron Paul cannot use funds raised for a presidential race in a congressional one. Campaign financing laws prohibit this.

That's enough proof for me! biggrin.gif

He won't donate it to McCain. They're so different on almost everything.

Opposite sides of the fence. Ron Paul stands for Liberty. The only other candidate that I saw that stood for non-corruption was Kucinich. They disagree on a lot of things, but neither have accepted money from oil cartels, or fortune 500 companies, and neither have broken the law in their voting records. The rest have.

If the convention in Navada doesn't go well, I'll be voting for Chuck Baldwin.

Wow, the fact that you'd go there completely destroys any points you've made in this thread.

Ron Paul is amazing politician, and I'll tell you why: it's because he's nothing like a politician. Real politicians bloviate and make up crap that sounds good to their constituency. Ron Paul, on the other hand, given pretty much any situation, can pull up an extremely relative precedent out of his head for almost any topic, elaborate on it, and relate it to current events, just like that.

He doesn't vote for something because someone paid him to; he votes for it because it's what he believes in.

And yes, Ron Paul cannot use his presidential campaign money on his congressional campaign, but he's not even out of the presidential race yet. Though there may be absolutely no chance of him winning, he's still in it to spread the message of freedom and liberty, because no other candidate will do it.

Hopefully he's paved the way for future candidates like him.

This thread shows evidence towards what I knew already - the media controls the minds of Americans. The fact is, Ron Paul is still in the Presidential race! Everyone assumes he dropped out because you don't see his face every night next to Hitlary, Obommer, and McCrap.

People need to wake up and realize that voting in elections is not a prom queen popularity contest - it's about voting for the person who you believe would be best for the job. That is why I will vote for Ron Paul in November, even if I have to write in his name. However, most people seem to think you have to play some shell-game with voting against who you don't want in the other party's primary or whatever... Just vote for the right candidate in the first place!
BTW, Ron Paul is the hands-down most-educated in the field of economics of all the candidates, and that is what we need the most at this point when our country's dollar is so weak and our economy is spiraling out of control into the {censored}-hole. Dr. Paul could lecture all day long (literally) about economic science, although nobody would probably listen because there's some more entertaining scandal about some other guy's inflammatory comments about the other guy's uncle being a gay nazi acrobat clown or something.
Basically, when I turn on the TV news, I see that we are {censored}ed. Nobody cares enough about anyone else to make a difference anymore, it's all about what they can do for me and give me money and potato chips and an electric suckoff machine. Let's watch some rasslin' while the world burns down around us.

Well excuse me! I don't read entire threads. tongue.gif

I still have my fingers crossed. If the GOP wants another 4 years, then they'd better prop up Ron Paul front and center because he blows away any candidate with his positions. I'm rather surprised that the GOP would gamble on McCain instead, who has become closer to Bush the III and is continuing on that same path.
