Romney Obama Paul The Elites Corruption And The Bomb
by Diane V. McLoughlin

The military-industrials sector, the political class and the banks are pulling off a neat trick - a shell game. There is little substantive difference between Romney and Obama.
Their apologists raise the issue of Ron Paul's support for bringing back a gold-backed dollar. They say it's wacko, hoping that voters will believe them and that, as a result, voters would ignore almost every other pertinent thing.
Every time one hears of 'economic easing' it means that, in reality, they are watering down the value of the dollar - a hidden tax on you and me. Ron Paul's idea is to prevent them from so impoverishing us. If you think about it, it's not so easy to water down gold.
Not all issues are equal, of course. Ron Paul wanted to save us from ourselves by restoring sanity to our foreign policy. Our military 'adventurism' is often described as reckless. Thinking we can boss everybody and control all the world's riches is not sane.
Ringing nuclear-armed Russia with missiles. Not sane. Positioning the military for future dreams of challenging nuclear-armed China. Is that sane? Refusing to compute that Russia and China, of necessity, are increasingly allying their interests. (One senses a trend.)
Judge not by what they say, but by what they do - the better test. What happened with the cheating throughout the Republican leadership contest, and, ultimately, against Ron Paul delegates in the end at the Republican National Congress, in Tampa, Florida - is not symptomatic of the GOP. I don't think so. It's symptomatic of the fact that we are headed straight to lawlessness, war and hell. Ron Paul wanted to stop it. Or try, anyway. All the while, he was smeared and mocked in the popular press. Meanwhile, during the 2012 Republican leadership campaign, tens of thousands in California alone turned out to hear Ron Paul share his message in a matter of days. This was the norm.

Presidential candidate Ron Paul - Principles Versus Pundits
In yesterday's edition of the Chicago Tribune, an *article on the Republican leadership race boasts potentially record-breaking attribution to five(!) in-house reporters. Maybe that's how many it takes to successfully screw with the facts. Otherwise, one wonders how it is that five reporters, working on one story, can still manage to miss mention of presidential candidate Ron Paul, a candidate recently pegged by conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson as 'dangerous'; which is to say a potent political force not to be underestimated.
But what about Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich?
A vote for Mitt 'multiple-choice' Romney is a vote for President Obama. With all Romney's millions, he can't get voters to warm to him.
Rick Santorum can't beat President Obama, either. Santorum recently claimed that the Constitutional provisions separating church and state make him want to hurl. He sounds like too much of a religious radical. That is not going to sell in a general election. While the best the Trib can come up with to plump Santorum's cred is 800 people showing up this week for a Chicago-area dinner - which, grant you, isn't bad -Ron Paul's speech at the University of Illinois drew a raucous crowd of 5,000-plus.
Newt Gingrich was drummed out of public office by his own party, back when he was Speaker. He was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for ethics violations, too. Although, asking his second wife for a divorce while she was recouperating from cancer surgery in hospital is also impressive. It certainly impresses me, although not really in a good way.
Ron Paul polls highest amongst the largest bracket of voters these days: independents. He's a strict constitutionalist. He believes in equal rights and individual liberty. Ron Paul wants to bring the troops home. He gets more campaign donations from the active military than all the other candidates put together. Ron Paul is the only candidate to have served active duty. Ron Paul is Christian like the rest of the candidates. He just seems to not to want to use the fact of his faith for political gain. He is a faithful husband, a father, and grandfather. Dr. Paul has delivered 4,000 babies during his medical career. He is into his twelfth-term as a congressman from Texas. His economic proposals garner accolades from economists and investors. In several recent polls Ron Paul is running even with, or polling better than, President Obama.
The latest political ad from The RevolutionPac [31 secs.]:
What more can be said about Ron Paul? The last word:
"One of the most principled men I have ever met."
- Illinois Congressman Tim Johnson, in his endorsement of Ron Paul for President of the United States.
