This past Saterday this sign was constructed on I15 between Vegas and LA; 7 mllion cars a month pass through. It took three people 14 hours:

She says he is for freedom, yet she fails to recognize the validity of the line “freedom isn’t free”. Wonder what he would have done in WWII? Paul has no idea of the concept of foreign policy.

We’d all like to see the IRS go away.

He has a few good ideas, but then goes off the cliff. The man is not a serious contender. Those that support him demonstrate their lack of knowledge about the way things work.

Paul is not a Republican. He is a Libertarian. Therefore his running as a Republican is a fraud. He will not be the nominee. He is only in this to garner the money.

How many were out of state Anti American moon bat Leftists bused in from out of state to inflate the crowd like the Paulbots got caught doing in New Hampshire?

Thanks for the post. I’m glad that Duncan Hunter thanked the WY National Guard for helping with the fires.

And, Ron Paul is going to get the government to stop screwing us? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....What is with the Paulie groupies.....I just don’t get it. It’s like a cult or something.

I'm afraid this is one politician whom you cannot question their integrity and motivation. I say this because Paul has lived an ideologically impeccable life. As a physician he didn't accept Medicaid or Medicare (socialized programs), he treated those patients for free. He didn't accept government loans for the 3 of his children that went through medical school. He gives back a portion of his congressional 'office funds' each year because he thinks the funding is too extravagant. He will not take part in the lucrative congressional pensions plan because he feels it is unconstitutional (it is!). He's passed up tens of thousands, if not more, in $$$ out of principle. As Tom Delay said:

"I've known Ron a very, very long time -- I like to think of Ron Paul as 'The Conscience,'" DeLay said. "You've always got to have a conscience."

So, disagree with him all you'd like, but he surely believes and lives what he preaches and is not 'in it for the money'. Such a spurious charge is uncalled for.

If you don’t think the government is ‘screwing us’ then you have a long ways to go my FRiend...

You're right, it isn't. That's why we need to protect our borders - something the neocons (and G.W. Bush) oppose. I'm very skeptical that they - the neocons - really care about our domestic security. If they did, they'd want secure borders - as Ron Paul does. They're more interested in fighting wars, for their own agenda, in the Middle East. That's like leaving your house in the suburbs and going downtown to rumble with a street gang, while leaving your front and back door unlocked and open. It's a very strange way to protect your home.

At this point there are twelve replies to the original post. Of those, eight are anti-Paul hits. Many of them say and believe that the Ron Paul movement is being orchestrated by a very few college kids hunched over their computers in dingy basements. When a rally does draw a dcent crowd ‘they’re all bussed in from outside the area.’
It’s interesting that a supposedly open minded group such as FreeRepublic has so many closed minds on this one subject. Of course, they may be right but the evidence that I see on my personal e-mail site leads me to believe the movement is real, it’s alive and it’s entirely possible that Ron Paul is the most popular candidate in the race. We’ll just have to wait until a few primaries have passed to see. Until then all these cute photoshopped pictures have the same weight as my opinion - which is dreadfully small.

Thanks for posting.

IF he was in it for the money, he would be taking his pension, retirement fund and all the other great entitlements our elected servents (our royalty) in Washington live for.

I understand he is going to be on the Jay Leno show tonight.
