I am leery of Ron Paul, and think some of his people lie.

I submit that this billboard, situated in a working to working poor area of West Des Moines, constitutes a lie.

For Dr. Paul's sake, I hope his supporters don't get kicked out of their parents' basement. Once they see the real world, he's SOL on all that allowance money.

I see your point here. He does seem to have a lot of support amongst college kids. I still like him.

College kids also tend to smoke a lot of weed. Almost nothing Dr. Paul suggests could work outside a theoretical situation. We know this because many of his policies already existed and already failed.

Oh my gosh America, Look at Ron Paul, this is so big.
He looks like one of those founding father's friends
They only lie about him because he's winning so many people over
They just keep telling Lies about him, LOOK, it's gross
Let's take America BACK

I like Ron Paul, and I can not lie
other candidates can't deny
that When Ron Paul walks into a republican debate
and throws the constitution in yo' face
we get inspired, make home made flyers
He's sparked a political fire.
Deep are the truth's he sharin
I'm hooked and there's no back steppin
Oh-ba-ma I woulda got witcha,
but pro war's a label that fits ya
I can not vote Mitt Romney
because he cheats in Polls, he's such a phony
ohh Mrs. Clinton you say you want wars to end
well you, see, confuse me, cause you vote for em
ARE YOU STOO-PEED
They say we got no chance man
if you think thats a load of crap man
Then SHOUT-OUT
WHAT RON PAUL'S ALL ABOUT
I'm tired of magazines
that don't really report a thing
take the average american and ask him Jack
Does America got your back
say ladies, Ladies. Does Ron Paul impress the Ladies
Then turn around and point it out
Make the whole damn country shout
Let's take America BACK

They like the government big
and the elections rigged
They just can't help themselves
they think that we are animals
that won't resist a scandal
But i'm in my home
gettin UH fired up UH UH
I ain't the only one either son
that sees that our rights are almost gone
We need to read the constitution
and realize were in trouble,
before we burst the bubble,
and our whole economy crumbles.
So I'm watchin YouTube Videos
National Id Card is at your door
ever heard of the Amero
We've forgoten what our country stands for
A word to the thick headed spinsters
I wanna get witchya,
I won't cuss or hitchya
but I gotta be straight when I say
I wanna BOOOO till the break of dawn
O'Reilly is such a pawn
cant you see what's going on
These punks take the truth and spin it
Deceiving the USA
And it's wrong, come on
it's been going on for way to long
Hey Fellas, Fellas
Are you startin to feel rebelious
Let's take this, take this
Freedom thing all the way
Let's take America BACK


Yeah America, when it comes to this Years Election
Front runners aint got nothin to do with the right selection
This is just like 1776 ha ha
Ron Paul for president in 08

So the media is fighting harder
cause our fund raising goes much farther
But the Others couldnt do it even if they want to
We're gonna get the job done because
we got funds son
We got a Blimp flyin up the East Coast
And the world record has just broke
They Media just plays the Hard Role
and say that we wont meet our goals
So They Breed a lie, and then feed it
and hope we're dumb enough to believe it.
so Oprah supports Barack,
I aint down with that
cause Martin Luther King wouldn't support one thing
that is going down in Iraq
Giuliani in drag, how embarrassing
you it ain't miss thing
we need a real man a politician
Freedom fighter and an obstratrician.
Some knuckleheads try to diss,
cause Ron Paul is on my list
They had a chance but they chose to bash him
We said fine we'll just give him cash then
to the tune of 6 mil in a single day
just get your butt up out our way
or go to Ron Paul 2008.com
and defend your country today

Let's take America Back

They fear the constitution we must take it back
They fear the constitution we must take it back
They fear the constitution we must take it back
They fear the constitution we must take it back

(Smithtown, N.Y.) Many contend that Ron Paul, although an honest, plain-talking man, comes to the 2008 presidential campaign podium without a lot of achievement. While in office, he hasn’t steer-headed proposed legislation into law, or galvanized broad-based support for this national agenda or that, or even been on board with most post-911 bills and actions. For almost twenty years, he’s been a dedicated representative for his Texas District and has not a potpourri of achievements about which to boast on the presidential campaign trail. Is this exactly true? How could someone serve for so long, and have so little to show for it?

At this time, I should share a story I heard from two entertainers at my son’s grade school. The entertainers were turning books from different parts of the world into short, little plays, in order to spark the children’s interest in reading. The following story took place centuries ago in the Far East.

The wise, old emperor was keenly aware that he was getting along in years, and he worried about finding a suitable replacement to lead the people. One day, he solicited the young people of his kingdom to gather, and he shocked them by telling them that he would be stepping down and that he would choose one of them to be his successor. “I am going to give each one of you a seed today, a very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!”

One young man named Ling, a son of a farmer, was there that day, and he was certain that he could cultivate that seed better than anyone else. He got a pot, filled it with rich soil and watered it carefully. Day after day, he checked the pot. Weeks passed by, then months, and still nothing had grown. Other youths from the kingdom began to talk about their plants and flowers and trees, but Ling said nothing. He was sure that he somehow had killed the seed.

After a year had passed, all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling’s first inclination was not to attend, but he showed up that day, sick to his stomach. He was amazed at the plants that the others had brought. They were of all different varieties and all so beautiful. Some of the others made fun of Ling’s empty pot and others felt pity for him. Ling stood toward the back of the crowd.

The emperor looked over the vast array and seemed pleased. Then, he spotted Ling standing at the back of the room with his empty pot, and he ordered his guards to bring the young man to the front. Ling was led grudgingly, fearful that he may be punished for his utter failure. The emperor asked his name. “My name is Ling,” he replied. Now, all the youths were laughing and making fun. The emperor then announced to the crowd, “Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!”
The emperor continued,

One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow. The rest of you substituted your own seeds for the one I gave you, but Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be your new emperor!

Ron Paul, like Ling, is a great truth-teller. His voting record is one of the most consistent
this writer has ever seen. No flip-flops are to be found. As well, he is a courageous and wise man, and a heck of an economist. Just ask the Wall Streeters. However, he bears to his fellow countrymen (and countrywomen), an empty pot. He can’t claim to have brought you wars or higher taxes, which we now have. He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties. Sorrowfully, he was outvoted or shot down on all measures. The Constitution has been chiseled down, government spending is through the roof, healthcare costs are out of control, the war on drugs keeps getting less effective, immigration issues remain unresolved and our civil liberties have been crimped for our own safety. I’ll just throw in that Ron Paul opposes regulation of the internet, which has been a revolution in the exchange of ideas, this article being a case in point.

The eye-popping reality of the situation is this. No longer can it be said that Ron Paul is running for President. Amazingly enough, his candidacy has been hijacked, and it appears now that the people are running for President. . . through Ron Paul! That’s the true revolution about which your neighbors are speaking.

So, do you want the plants and flowers that your other government representatives have cultivated for you year after year, or do you want an open and honest effort at change, not for the powerful interests, but for you and for members of your family yet to arrive. If you want to see an unprecedented effort at change - starting with the only man on the campaign trail who is not afraid to tell you the truth - your action must start now. Get informed. Get angry. Get talking to your neighbors. Then, get to the voting booths!

If I had a time machine I'd bring back a circa-1900 factory worker and have him tell you how great the policies Dr. Paul believes in are.
