Actually when are the primaries ? Been voting for years and have yet to know when these occur ?

If you click on the links for the 50 states it also has Democratic primary information.

So, Independents are closed out---and have no voice?


You really think football teams and the right to vote have equal footing?

I really feel for you.

Hahaha! I just keep telling myself the party is only an artificial label. The only Democrats I support are the genuinely anti-war Kucinich and Gravel and neither of them have enough support to make an impact. Ron Paul's grassroots support is real and there is enough momentum to make a difference, so I am going all out to support the Paul campaign.

The Ron Paul Tea Party - Ron Paul for President Mass Donation Day


Hopefully this will even dwarf the monumental success of the November 5th fundraising. All of the little money coming together for one common goal will put him over the top and allow him to defeat the big money.

Ron Paul never left the Republican Party. The Republican Party left him when the Neocons took it over after they came in under Reagan's popularity.

Paul ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988. He finished a distant 3rd. So now he's running as a Republican. It pads his resume. I guess. Although he's a hundred years old and the resume is pretty pointless.

You know, the Internet didn't exist in 1988. We're living in a different world now. But one thing that hasn't changed is he was just as likeable then as he is now.

David Letterman Endorses Ron Paul in 1988...

He endorsed Kuchinch this year. He always endorses a guy who has no chance.

That's why he didn't endorse Ron Paul this time.
