Denizens of the internet have taken up his banner and are promoting him wildly. Ron has turned a lot of techies into political activists - blogger Chris Pirillo, who is historically very tech-oriented on his personal blog, has suddenly turned uber-political because Ron inspires him. When Ron gets excluded from debates or gets bad press online, email boxes get pounded and websites go down.

I will go so far as to claim that many of the mainstream politicians are crazy, and that Dr. Paul is well informed and has a strong code of ethics. Many dirty people are in politics. Ron Paul is like that small town Mayor who does not give in. Nonsense, Michael.

Ron Paul sounds good because he’s insane, and the truly insane are often very charming, persuasive, etc.

God forbid he should ever actually gain power, because that’s when the mask comes off.

(the $250 ambulance ride was knocked down to $50 because I needed it).Many Canadian doctors are leaving or closing up shop because they don’t get millions for “free” healthcare - rather they have to keep working as slaves (they get less than $40 for a single visit - talk to your plumber the next time that happens)Great post - but Americans should realize that “free” healthcare does NOT work in the doctor’s best interest - it works in the “corporations” and “bureaucracies” Chris, (from an incorrect earlier comment)

One comment on this “rant” regarding doctors who would “want” free healthcare…

if anyone does look at the Canadian model, you’ll see that it’s doctors who realize that the 100% free healthcare model simply doesn’t work.

Someone who once in office, won't bend the rules and act like he's always right and everyone who challenges him is wrong. In response to your last paragraph, I'd choose the man or woman with the proven track record and experience, the one who has nothing to hide from the voters in his past or will in the future. I'm still looking.

He articulated the mechanism whereby the USA was stolen. You can find easy links to other such individuals at http://skepdic.com/illuminati.html . Truth may be stranger than fiction but it will never enslave us. However, deception is the device most loved by the ‘truth keepers’ and why it takes guts to be receptive to those who shine lights in dark places.

I've already made the commitment that by the time the next election rolls around I am definitely going to vote for the best person and not the "less of two evils" or what I think the lesser of two evils are. Even if I have to do a write in vote. I grew up in a democratic family but myself have voted Republican for the most part but never a straight ticket. However none of the major or "serious" contenders according to the media impress me. I looked over Ron Paul's platform and it's the closest thing to my convictions of how the country should be run. I realize the media and talking heads will try to convice everyone that Ron Paul is a fringe candidate but I don't care. Even though we don’t agree with everything Chris I agree with you on this.
