Seems to be a common theme in what the Democrats, Ron Paul and this lunatic are saying if you take out the Holocaust remarks from Ahmadinejad. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: I wanted to Visit Ground Zero to Prevent 9/11 from Becoming Another "False Idol" Like the Holocaust

They despise him more than the left because he represents a different kind of conservatism. And so Michael Goldfarb argues that I mislabeled the data on military support for Ron Paul in this post, where I touted military donations to Obama and Paul. It's all donors connected to the military, not active service military members. He's right. I mislabeled. But as Goldfarb also notes, the data from active service members is basically the same with a twist: Ron Paul comes first among Republicans, but Obama beats him over all. The point stands. It's staggering to me that military donors are...

For presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the quest for the Republican Party nomination is an all or nothing game. While Paul ran for the White House in 1988 on the Libertarian ticket, earning 0.47% of the vote, the lawmaker told Washington Wire Friday that he’s not going to make a separate effort to get on the general election ballot if the Republican nomination doesn’t come through. “The thought does not cross my mind about a third party,” Paul told us today after speaking at the Americans for Prosperity conference, a forum for fiscal conservatives. “I did it and...

 Friday, October 05, 2007 What Ron Paul is (and what he isn't) http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2007/10/what-ron-paul-i.html I think Yoshi is overreacting to the Ron Paul boomlet. I can understand why: Paul is the lone antiwar Republican in the race, and thus it's assumed he's pulling all of his support from antiwar lefties looking to mess up the GOP.  That just isn't so. Ron Paul has a reputation of being the most virulent anti-government politician in recent memory.  He's known as "Dr. No," for his supposed insistence on voting against any government action (including innocuous, non-binding resolutions) that is not specifically enumerated in...

Ron Paul doesn't understand his own success. He didn't know his calls for an end to the Federal Reserve and the Department of Education would draw cheers, that his anti-income tax, anti-foreign intervention and libertarian message would resonate. He was reluctant to run for the Republican presidential nomination, he said yesterday: He was convinced it would take another "generation for education" before his message - rooted in Paul's reading of the Constitution - gained traction. "I have been just dumbfounded about what's happening," Paul said yesterday in Manchester's Veteran's Park, where roughly 500 supporters gathered for a glimpse of the...

NEW YORK - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Sunday the shooting deaths of civilians — allegedly at the hands of Blackwater USA guards — pose "a serious challenge to the sovereignty of Iraq" and cannot be accepted. The Sept. 16 killing of at least 11 civilians near a square in central Baghdad has highlighted the practices of foreign security contractors whose aggressive protection of Western diplomats and other dignitaries has long angered Iraqis. U.S.-Iraqi relations have been further strained by the U.S. detention of an Iranian Thursday in northern Iraq who was accused by the military of smuggling weapons...

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, an old-fashioned conservative with a strong libertarian streak, inspires a small but growing base of fervent admirers with his strict interpretation of Congress' powers No matter who shows up at this week's Republican presidential debate in Baltimore, it's a good bet the biggest applause will go to the most conservative man onstage. He's Rep. Ron Paul, a perfect protest candidate for 2008. Trained as a physician, he's "Dr. Paul" to a small but growing base of fervent admirers - more than a few of whom could fairly be called zealots. Around the Capitol, the Texas...

Over the last two days The Oregon Poll was seen by almost 400 "unique visitors," most of them in support of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. The majority of these people came from these two links on the web. ronpaulforums.com stormfront.org

New Hampshire: (Top Story) USAElectionPolls.com has recently posted an article on their web site entitled "Republican Debate - Five Things to Expect" and they claim that Ron Paul will be the winner of the online text poll / internet poll but be ignored. This is not shocking news when you consider that Ron Paul has fared extremely well in every post-debate poll and there is little reason to believe that this debate will be any different. Ron Paul received an incredible boost to his campaign in the last Fox News debate held in New Hampshire with his claim that "blowback"...

As the vote tallies were announced at the Texas Republican straw poll Saturday, at least one supporter of Rep. Ron Paul of Lake Jackson couldn't contain his frustration. "Fix!" he yelled from the back of the ballroom at the Fort Worth Convention Center. "There's no way." The congressman put a great deal of effort into the event in his home state, even paying to bus in supporters. They seemed to be the largest force in town. So it was a disappointment to those supporters when he came in third. Some were convinced that Dr. Paul won. "The results are totally...
