RON PAUL, not Mitt Romney, won the first GOP Debate

RON PAUL is the RIGHT Candidate for Pro-Life social conservatives.

• Ron Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act of 2005, recognizing the Personhood of every unborn baby and removing Abortion from the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
• Ron Paul is rated ZERO percent by the National Abortion Rights Action League.
• Ron Paul is an original co-sponsor of the Marriage Protection Act.
• Ron Paul voted to ban Homosexual adoption in Washington DC.

RON PAUL is the RIGHT Candidate for Tax-Cutting fiscal conservatives.

• Ron Paul is ranked by Human Events as the biggest Tax Cutter in all of Congress. Paul Named #1 Tax Cutter in Congress: “(Paul) is a co-sponsor… of a constitutional amendment to repeal the 16th amendment and end income, gift, and estate taxes. Regularly pushes for tax cuts. Sponsor of bills to allow tax credits for private school tuition, to permit tax deduction of college tuition, and to stop all taxation of Social Security benefits. Opposes all unconstitutional spending programs.”
• Ron Paul has ranked in the 99th percentile of the National Taxpayer Union ratings every year he has been in Congress -- thus standing head and shoulders above his big government Republican rivals like gun-grabber John McCain, transvestite Rudy Giuliani, "Amnesty Sam" Brownback, Mike "Bill Clinton embodies the American Dream" Huckabee, and Pork-Barrel King Duncan Hunter.

RON PAUL is the ONLY 100% Anti-Terrorist candidate.

• The ruling government of Iraq is dominated by the psychopathic gang of murderers known as the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and the Islamic Al Dawa Party, who are the very same Islamic Terrorist Parties which bombed the US & French Embassies in Kuwait, and murdered 241 United States Marines in Beirut in 1983. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, of the Al Dawa Party, was the Bureau Chief of the Al Dawa Party's terrorist "Jihad Office" in Damascus in the 1980s and was thus heavily responsible for Al Dawa operations in Beirut, while parliament member Jamal Jafaar Mohammed of his ruling coalition is one of the "Kuwait 17", still under a Kuwaiti death sentence (in absentia) for his direct involvement in the vicious attack on the US Embassy in Kuwait! Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate calling for an immediate END to all Military and Financial support for the criminal Islamic Terrorist thug-regime of Iraq.

RON PAUL is the RIGHT Candidate for National Defense and Foreign Affairs.

• Ron Paul voted for the National Missile Defense Act. (source)
• Ron Paul is one of only two co-sponsors of H. Res. 123, for the establishment of a Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs to "conduct a full investigation of all unresolved matters relating to any United States personnel unaccounted for from the Vietnam era, the Korean conflict, World War II, Cold War Missions, or Gulf War, including MIA's and POW's." (POW-MIA InterNetwork)
• Ron Paul supports a strengthened Coast Guard and increased port security, and increased benefits for veterans.
• Ron Paul advocates United States withdrawal from the United Nations and withdrawal from the World Trade Organization. Says Ron Paul: "We don’t need CAFTA or any other international agreement to reap the economic benefits promised by CAFTA supporters, we only need to change our own harmful economic and tax policies. Let the rest of the world hurt their citizens with tariffs; if we simply reduce tariffs and taxes at home, we will attract capital and see our economy flourish." (source).
• "Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country." --U.S. President Ronald Reagan

RON PAUL is the RIGHT Candidate for the Bill of Rights.

• "Congress Unanimously Supports Paul Amendment to Protect Civil Liberties"
• Ron Paul is one of only five Congressmen to have an A+ Rating from the Gun Owners of America.
• Ron Paul Denounces National ID Card.

RON PAUL is the RIGHT Candidate on Illegal Immigration.

• Ron Paul voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006. “Amnesty for lawbreakers is not the answer, and it’s time to rethink birthright citizenship,” Paul added. ("Paul Votes for Stronger Border Security")
• Ron Paul is a co-sponsor of HR 487, which "expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a NAFTA superhighway or enter into any plans to create a North American Union between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico."
• "We need to allocate far more resources, both in terms of money and manpower, to securing our borders and coastlines here at home. This is the most critical task before us, both in terms of immigration problems and the threat of foreign terrorists. Unless and until we secure our borders, illegal immigration and the problems associated with it will only increase." – Ron Paul (source)

RON PAUL is the ONLY socially-conservative Candidate defending the independence of the Christian Church against Federal "Faith-Based Socialism".

• "Government funding of religious organizations will transform them into adjuncts of the federal welfare state, more concerned about obeying federal rules and regulations than fulfilling the obligations of their faith." – Ron Paul (source). Every other so-called "social conservative" candidate actually FAVORS this underhanded Orwellian Federal assault on the Freedom of the Christian Church.

"I got to know President Reagan in 1976 when, as a freshman congressman, I was one of only four members of that body to endorse then-Governor Reagan’s primary challenge to President Gerald Ford. I had the privilege of serving as the leader of President Reagan’s Texas delegation at the Republican convention of 1976, where Ronald Reagan almost defeated an incumbent president for his party’s nomination. I was one of the millions attracted to Ronald Reagan by his strong support for limited government and the free-market. I felt affinity for a politician who based his conservative philosophy on '...a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.' I wish more of today’s conservative leaders based their philosophy on a desire for less government and more freedom." – Ron Paul, Remembering Ronald Reagan

In 2008, I'm voting for the REAGAN REPUBLICAN. I'm voting for former Vietnam Combat Flight Surgeon, and Leader of Ronald Reagan's Electoral Delegation from Texas: In 2008, I'm Voting for RON PAUL!

"The greatest champion of conservative principles we have seen in Congress in the past quarter century."
(David T. Pyne, Esq., Vice President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies)

Once more unto the breach, dear friends; once more unto the breach.

[streetpreacher]

Chuck Baldwin, now there’s a man whose opinion is valued...

[trisham]

Ron Paul is no Duncan Hunter.

[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

Since there have been no objections, you have just been Elected "Co-Sponsor" of the Great Ron Paul Ping List on Free Republic.

Check your FreepMail.

You now have a copy of the first 100+ sign-ups to the Great Ron Paul Ping List on Free Republic. Rally the troops whenever good news presents itself, and always be willing to add to our numbers.

Best, OP

[Mr. Mojo]

Yet, when one looks at MSNBC's own poll, a much different picture emerges.

Of that I have no doubt. MSNBC viewers are mostly an anti-war bunch who'd naturally support Paul's anti-war views. Of course those same viewers probably strongly disagree with Paul on just about everything else....

[angkor]

It wasn’t a debate, it was sound bite casting call.

Idiotic and reprehensible.

This is not the way to elect the President Of The United States.

[Vaquero]

Fred Thompson won the first GOP debate in absentia.....

His presence in the country alone was all that is necessary to win it and here are some examples:

AWESOME FACTS ABOUT FRED THOMPSON
* Fred Thompson has blasted more people in the face with a shotgun than even Dick Cheney.

* The masked executioner of Saddam Hussein: Fred Thompson.

* Every night before going to sleep, Osama bin Laden checks under his bed for Fred Thompson.

* Fred Thompson took over what was Al Gore’s Senate seat, thereby dramatically reducing the Senate’s carbon footprint. Fred Thompson then created carbon offset offsets by wastefully burning hippies.

* Fred Thompson reconsidered running for reelection after 9/11 but later decided to handle things on his own. He was soon seen entering the Middle East with a bottle of tequila in one hand an a handgun in the other. They’re still counting the dead.

* Fred Thompson once ended a filibuster by ripping out a Senator’s heart and showing it to him before he died.

* The actual cause of global warming: Fred Thompson’s burning rage.

* Fred Thompson once stood on our south border and glared at Mexico. There was no illegal immigration for a month.

* Scientists predict that when Fred Thompson dies he’ll explode taking out the five nearest planets before collapsing into a black hole.

* If you purchase a weather radio, it will wake you up with an alarm to warn you when Fred Thompson is pissed off.

* Webster’s Dictionary defines “conservatism” as “how closely one’s views resemble those of Fred Thompson.”

* Fred Thompson’s sense of strategy is so great that he can checkmate you using only a pawn and a knight.

* When terrorists get to the afterlife, they’ll find that none of their seventy-two women are still virgins. Why? Because of Fred Thompson.

* Why does Iran want nuclear weapons? Out of fear of Fred Thompson.

Ron Paul has an isolationist mentality...

[KoRn]

Ron Paul is my guy, if FRed doesn't get in. I disagree with him on some things when it comes to national security, but I wouldn't expect to find a candidate I could agree with on 100% of issues. Go RP!!

[Eclectica]

Ron Paul: Against Iraq War.

MSNBC: Against Iraq War.

There's a surprise here?

[X-Ecutioner]

Ron Paul is the man of the hour....

[nctexan]

"Of that I have no doubt. MSNBC viewers are mostly an anti-war bunch who'd naturally support Paul's anti-war views. Of course those same viewers probably strongly disagree with Paul on just about everything else....

This is amazing... All of a sudden MSNBC web polls (with their primarily liberal audience) is the "trusted source" for truth.

I guess when you're grasping a straws to make a point, a short one will do.

[AmericaUnited]

Ron Paul has an isolationist mentality...

Correcto. And like it or not, the world's only Hyper Power can not shrink into some hidy hole and make believe it's 200 years ago.

[Garvin]

More like man of the minute.

[cripplecreek]

Look at it this way, When Paul drops out his supporters can still help out by supporting Dennis Kucinich.

[Paperdoll]

Sorry, but Duncan Hunter won the first Republican debate.

[cripplecreek]

Funny thing about the new FR poll. Looks like more non members voting for RP than members....again.

[Vigilanteman]

And, fortunately, Duncan Hunter is no Ron Paul. He actually sees the world how it is rather than how he would like it to be.

If this were peacetime, Mitt Romney could be very persuasive. He actually understands what it takes to grow an economy in an imperfect world.

If this were a libertarian utopia, Ron Paul could be very persuasive. His idealogy is pure even if it isn't very realistic with the hand we've been dealt.

But given that this is wartime, I'll take the candidate who I feel is mean a**ed enough to take on islamofacism and their allies in the enemedia and win. A former army ranger and paratrooper who also has a decent grasp of conservative issues. Last time I checked, there was only one candidate that fit this criteria.

[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

Ron Paul is my guy, if FRed doesn't get in.

If "Fred" decides to "get in", I understand you might choose to support him.
We must always do that which we believe to be Right.

(However, as long as Fred's taking to make up his mind -- we may all be able to support Ron Paul for Two Terms before supporting Fred in 2016!)

I disagree with him on some things when it comes to national security,

Let's see...Ron Paul is: Pro-Border Security... Pro-Port Security... Pro-Coast Guard.... Pro-Missile Defense... I suspect that the TRUTH is, you TOTALLY AGREE with Ron Paul on National Security!

Now, you may disagree with him on the Effectiveness of Foreign Wars -- but I say, even IF an Expansionist Foreign Policy DOES "work", let's protect our own Borders First and go from there!!

As always, JMHO.
