Political maverick and Texas House member Ron Paul formally announced his candidacy for the president of the United States this morning during the “Washington Journal” call-in program on C-SPAN.
Paul stands as one of the last remaining believers in strict enforcement of the Constitution and a limited federal government in Washington D.C. Paul ran unsuccessfully for the White House in 1988 under the Libertarian ticket, but now caucuses with the Republican Party. His political platform includes low taxes, individual liberties and a principled belief in the right to life.
His presidential exploratory committee formed earlier this year stirred up his enormous grassroots support from heartland voters, small government believers and fed-up Republicans who believe current GOP candidates offer no real solutions to an expanding federal government and refuse to tackle America's important issues, such as illegal immigration and an erosion of American's civil liberties.

Didn't score high in reading comprehension, did you?
Nice image though.
Monica Crowley (yum!), Ron Reagan. You're telling me that they're all "evil liberals". Every organisation has it's assholes. FOX has O'Rielly, CNN has Larry King, MSNBC has Oberrman.
And yet somehow probably true.
"Show some respect for the guys who had to get the troops back home from Vietnam alive -- PUNK!"
Please, service in Vietnam as a political bulltproof vest went out with your boy Kerry.
Go away Dummy.
Hey all you Ron Paul supports go vote at www.2008horserace.com and then watch your vote for Ron Paul be erased. I have a few hundred disappear. LOL
People are so afraid of an honest man they have to lie, cheat and steal. But I guess that's normal these days.
You need to pull down that picture from your home page. Anyone who shows such blatant disrespect for the Constitution (which you swore an oath to uplhold, protect and defend, by the way) does NOT deserve the title of U.S. Marine. You disgrace the uniform.
Whatever his other shortcomings, Ron Paul has more respect for the Constitution AND the armed forces of this country in his little finger than you apparently have in your whole body. You show that disrespect virtually every time you post. I thought you had gone away, it's been so long since I've seen any of your "wit." Didn't much miss you, either.
Let me make something completely clear to you, you POS admin pogue...
The Title [and uniform] of Marine is awarded to any recruit who can make it through MCRT.
Once earned it is set in stone...and no dumbass lik you can come along with your BS liberalesque notions about Patriotism and remove it.
KEEP YOUR GD NOTIONS ABOUT BEING A MARINE, PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTION AND HOW IT RELATES TO SUPPORTING SOME DUMBASS ANTI-CONSERVATIVE TO YOURSELF...cuz bottomline, you'd have gotten your weak ass jaw jacked had you said some bullshit like that to my face.
F'n punk.
Semper Fi, stupid.
Then what is the point of your post...
In the interim, the Republican Party learns not to p!$$ off it's conservative base.I read that as shape up or ship out. I read that as tax cuts, a strong defense, abortion restrictions, end of AWB, SCOTUS judges, and border fencing is not enough, we need complete adherence to the conservative myth. We need a Ronald Reagan without the record deficits, Sandra Day O'Connor, Beirut nonresponse, and immigration reform. Please explain how you justify your 2 opposing statements.
Pursuing present course when it has resulted in demonstrable loss is foolish.
There is no present course. The GOP can only follow the rats or try to obstruct. The rats now write the budget, and confirm the judges.
Sure, piss off more and more of the Conservative Base. Every incremental move left results in more of the Right leaving. Yeah, that's the ticket.
In 2004 Bush ran on a record of unparalleled spending, failure to nominate acceptable judges, no Veto's, CFR, sucking up to Kennedy, and endorsing RINOs. The compassionate conservative was reelected with a 3 million vote margin.
Just prior to the 2006 elections the Congress passed, and Bush signed, a border fence and ID reform. The lesson of the immigration debate was trying to placate far right conservatives will cost you elections.
Some conservatives would like to believe Bush's poor media sponsored poll number were reflected in the defeat of Graf, Hayworth, Hostettler, DeLay, Pambo, Bonilla, Gilcrist, Harris, Santorum, and other conservative Republicans. I believe the loss of Latino votes killed the GOP in 2006, not disaffected conservative Republicans.
Your assertions do not stand up to even a perfunctory level of common sense.
Wow. Ain't YOU Billy Badass... nope, you're some mouthy wiseass little punk with pretentions. Another John Murtha, in other words.
Oh, and I never spent a day in admin. I was always a FLEET Marine. Something a sissyboy with pretentions could never understand.
Wise up, punk, and READ the Constitution you swore to protect and defend. Then go hang your head in shame for violating that oath.
And, yeah, I believe I MIGHT have been jawjacked to death by you, since all you ARE is big talk. And all jaw jacking is is talk. Learn how to make threats that are actually credible before you open your mouth and make a jackass of yourself.
John:
Sorry, very late, Life Happens.
Will respond later. Need some sleep at the moment.
Haul ass little Man.
You crossed the line with your comments [and you know it]. As to your MOS, whatthef*ckever! Them little bitch ass arms and light ass bowl of salad [especially for a supposed staff NCO] tell me all I need to know about how you served.
Dont talk about credibility to me or any other Marine.
It goes...
God
Corps
Then Country
You turn on another Marine because he thinks Ron Paul is a joke?
Yeah, Semper Fi grandpa.
You're wrong. Limited government and respect for basic human liberties IS indeed the base of the GOP. Don't sell yourself short.
That doesn't make sense. Paul will still be a Representative after the election.
I disagree here, too. Gore's support of gun control was the single issue that kept him from winning in 2000. The Dems have smartened up since then and pretty much shut their mouths on the issue, thereby bringing pro-gun Dems back into the fold and enjoying electoral success.
So you ping JimRob to a post in which you cuss. You're not very bright, are you?
Well, hwllo there my little weed smoking e-stalker. I was wondering when you'd show up. :o)
"Hwllo" yourself.
Hahaha...
