That would even raise my lazy ass to go play if for nothing else then for the sake of me casting the SENSIBLE vote !

Gee - what a flock of bastards we surrounded by. Even thinking of - granted, impossible thing - that he wins makes me feel SOME hope for US.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul files for GOP presidential bid

JOE STINEBAKER

Associated Press

HOUSTON - Ron Paul, the iconoclastic nine-term congressman from southeast Texas, took the first step Thursday toward launching a second presidential bid in 2008, this time as a Republican.
Paul filed incorporation papers in Texas on Thursday to create a presidential exploratory committee that allows him and his supporters to collect money on behalf of his bid. This will be Paul's second try for the White House; he was the Libertarian nominee for president in 1988.
Kent Snyder, the chairman of Paul's exploratory committee and a former staffer on Paul's Libertarian campaign, said the congressman knows he's a long shot.
"There's no question that it's an uphill battle, and that Dr. Paul is an underdog," Snyder said. "But we think it's well worth doing and we'll let the voters decide."
Paul, of Lake Jackson, acknowledges that the national GOP has never fully embraced him despite his nine terms in office under its banner. He gets little money from the GOP's large traditional donors, but benefits from individual conservative and Libertarian donors outside Texas. He bills himself as "The Taxpayers' Best Friend," and is routinely ranked either first or second in the House of Representatives by the National Taxpayers Union, a national group advocating low taxes and limited government.
He describes himself as a lifelong Libertarian running as a Republican.
Paul was not available for comment Thursday, Snyder said.
But he said the campaign will test its ability to attract financial and political support before deciding whether to launch a full-fledged campaign. Snyder said Paul is not running just to make a point or to try to ensure that his issues are addressed, but to win.
Paul is expected to formally announce his bid in the next week or two, Snyder said.
Snyder said Paul and his supporters are not intimidated by the presence of nationally known and better-financed candidates such as Sen. John McCain of Arizona or former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.
"This is going to be a grassroots American campaign," he said. "For us, it's either going to happen at the grassroots level or it's not."
Paul limits his view of the role of the federal government to those duties laid out in the U.S. Constitution. As a result, he sometimes casts votes that appear at odds with his constituents and other Republicans. He was the only Republican congressman to vote against Department of Defense appropriations for fiscal year 2007.
The vote against the defense appropriations bill, he said, was because of his opposition to the war in Iraq, which he said was "not necessary for our actual security."

Even taken alone - it is MORE than good enough point for it lies in the root of the issues.

As sober as we are though let us remember Kalifornia sheeple vote - the phony bodybuilder gets it, and the ONLY decent guy around Mcclintoc got only 12%.

Seeing him interviewed in Aaron Russo film tells a good bit about him. I get his weekly newsletter emailed to me as well. IMO , he's one of the (very very few) good guys.
To learn more about his stands , try here:

You can sign up for his weekly newsletter too. (it will come from Jeff Deist's email if you want to spam filter proof it).
I am not politically active really , but may even see if there's anything I can do to help his campaign.

Well, he's the least establishment canidate with the best chance of winning, I'm leaning towards voting for him. That'd be something else if he gets the presidency and walks the walk.

Sukhoi, it is significant because you are not the one doing it.
What exactly would be your proposal to get the party started?

"We get into trouble by not following the precepts of liberty or obeying the rule of law. Preemptive, undeclared wars fought under false pretenses are a road to disaster. If a full declaration of war by Congress had been demanded as the Constitution requires, this war never would have been fought. If we did not create credit out of thin air as the Constitution prohibits, we never would have convinced taxpayers to support this war directly from their pockets. How long this financial charade can go on is difficult to judge, but when the end comes it will not go unnoticed by any American."

He is a man that follows the ideas of Ludwig Von Mises. He would be the best thing to happen to our country in my lifetime. I think chances are slim, but it would take a president like him that understands economics, honest money, etc. to convince others to go back to honest money and disolve the federal reserve. I could only dream he would be as successful as Andrew Jackson who said the best thing he did as president was kill the central bank.

Go read up on Mises and you will have an idea of what he believes in.

Realistically, he will withdraw at best me reckon. At the point of (and if) when he had gathered enough attention, bankers will sink him with the help of almighty amerikan sheeplery voting themselves into their ****ing socialism.

But - I want to be very wrong !

People are fed up with Republicans and next President will be a Democrat (Socialist posing as a Democrat to be exact). I'm going to donate a few $$ anyway, what else can you do

Ron Paul is very old. over 70 I think.

If Ron Paul is for real and not just controlled opposition, there is no chance of him winning (media smear, electronic voting machines).

It's also possible that he is not who he pretends to be. After all, Infidel supports him and Infidel wants world government.
