I’ve seen my fair share of Ron Paul videos over the last year, but this video that came out is truly amazing.
Makes you sad that America had a chance to save itself, and missed the opportunity.

As I sat in front of my TV with my fists clenched in anger during the CNN/YouTube “Debate” last night, McCain addressed Ron Paul regarding his position on pulling out of Iraq. For those who are not aware, throughout the campaign, McCain has been running his campaign on a pro-war agenda. He continuously stands up and says that the surge is working and that we have to stay and win (whatever winning means).
“The best thing we can do for the Iraqi people is to give them their country back. That’s the most important thing that we can do. Just think of the cleaning up of the mess after we left Vietnam. Vietnam is now a friend of ours. We trade with them. Their president comes here. What we achieved in peace was unachievable in 20 years of the Americans and the French being in Vietnam. So it’s time for us to take care of America first.”

After sleeping off the frustration and anger cause by watching the GOP CNN/YouTube debate because of its obvious bias, I thought I’d give my personal breakdown of last nights events.
Let me start off by saying that regardless if you like Ron Paul or you hate Ron Paul, you cannot deny that CNN intentionally stacked the cards up against Ron Paul in an attempt (a poor one at that) to make Ron Paul look bad. Here is a breakdown of the debate last night and the time alloted to the candidates.
With the success of November 5th behind us and raising $4.3 million in a single day for Ron Paul, an even bigger event has been scheduled for the 16th of December.
On December 16th, 1773, American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest an oppressive tax. This December 16th, American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive and unconstitutional inflation tax - which has enabled a flawed foreign policy, a costly war and the sacrificing of our liberties here at home.

Over the last several weeks during my daily pursuit of Ron Paul news and coverage, I’ve started noticing an increase of people submitting posts from this “pro-Fred Thompson” forum. My first few visits were nothing more than a quick glance at a few posts before I realized how ridiculous those people who posted on those forums are and moved on. They would slam Ron Paul and the other candidates. I thought to myself, ‘why do these people seem so crazy, they make us Ron Paul fans look like saints.’
Recently, this group submitted a phony news story titled ‘Senator in ‘fake online campaign’, in reference to Ron Paul and his campaign. And no, I’m not accidentally confusing Senator with Congressman. It was submitted that way.
I’m starting to get worried.
Let me start off saying I’m a huge Ron Paul supporter. This is intended not to be negative criticism but to be constructive criticism. Over the last several debates I’ve noticed Ron Paul’s performance slowly declining. He is struggling to get his point across as compared to the first few debates several months ago. I’ve probably seen almost every Ron Paul video available, listened to countless interviews and speeches and have read countless articles about Ron Paul. He has my vote. What he needs to focus on is gaining new support from people who might not know who he is or might still be on the fence about him.
This weekend was the Ron Paul rally here in Chicago. It was one of the biggest turnouts at a Ron Paul rally since the campaign started. While I don’t have the exact numbers, estimates are falling between the 1200-1400 mark. The most refreshing part of the whole experience was the diverse group of people who were there. One of the greatest things about this campaign is that it brings together all different types of people from all walks of life who support Ron Paul’s message of freedom and hope.
One of the most challenging aspects about being a liberal Democrat and supporting a Republican candidate (Ron Paul) is not that when I tell my friends or family that I’m voting for a Republican they roll their nose and eyes at me, but that I’m subjected to all the other aspects of the Republican party and the rest of the candidates. Ignoring the fact that they are all pro-war, I am also “forced” to go to the various “family values” websites if I want to keep up on a certain debate or recent interview.
I’ve learned that people from the southern states really have this fear of homosexuals. I’ve always known that they don’t like them, but over the last few months I have realized that it goes much deeper than that. They seem to have a honest fear of them. Let me say that I do understand that most people interpret the Bible as saying that being a homosexual is a sin. While only a few lines say that two men together is an abomination (as is eating shellfish) , it doesn’t come out and say “being a homosexual is a sin!” That however is neither here nor there. It’s the fact that they actually want to enact federal laws that prohibit gays in the military or gay marriage. Where would it stop?
Back to my point, during several interviews and debates with various religious and other “family values” groups the question kept coming up asking, “What as president, would you do to stop the homosexual agenda in Washington?”
What exactly is the homosexual agenda?
I have to admit that I was worried when I read that Ron Paul was going to be on the The O’Reilly Factor. Don’t mistake this as a sign of doubt about Ron Paul. It is no secret that Bill controls almost every interview, especially if he truly dislikes you, and will interrupt you while answering if what you’re saying is not to his liking.
The show started with a segment on General Petraeus and his report to Congress. He proclaimed that the security situation in Iraq has improved and we need to stay in until next year.
It would appear that the Giuliani Campaign has shifted gears. First, instead of mentioning 9/11 in every answer, he decided to mention that he isn’t talking about 9/11 is almost every answer. His second shift in strategy is now to laugh at Ron Paul whenever a question was directed towards him.
If you watched the debate last night you can hear him laughing at Ron Paul during an answer, before a question was even asked, and even during the time when the question was being given. What kind of unprofessional garbage is this? This isn’t a debate to determine who will be the 9th grade class president. While it is hard to say who exactly laughed each time, it was obvious that Giuliani and Romney did.
Giuliani learned at the first debate that he cannot take on Ron Paul. Romney also knew better not to try. Last time Giuliani took on Ron Paul, he was shot down and it became apparent to the people watching that Giuliani is not as educated on several of the issues he campaigns on. So instead of being made a fool again by actually responding back to Ron Paul on matters that he didn’t agree with (like Huckabee did), he took the cowards way out and just laughed in the microphone.
Even during the debate, Fox News would occasionally throw up a split screen where you can see Giuliani with a huge idiotic smile on his face, licking his lips, and laughing. A very distinctive laugh if you’ve been following the presidential race over the last few months.
