| Molten Ash Posts: 65 | "Digging" Ron Paul for president - easiest way to help him? As many of you may be aware, libertarian Republican Ron Paul, a gynecologist and congressman from Texas, is making a robust but long shot run for president. Of course, the media and the Republican establishment are both scared spitless of his plans to strictly follow the U.S. Constitution and disband Federal bureaucracies. After all the attention he's been getting at the GOP debates, they are trying to ignore him or ban him from future debates. For those who want to help make sure Dr. Paul's message gets out... Here's the most effective and easy way I know: - Visit Digg / News - Keyword search "Ron Paul" - Then "digg" every story that has the word Ron Paul in the headline. That's it! This gets him additional attention; I've seen it work very well before. It's already working for Dr. Paul. Usually there are around 25 Ron Paul stories on Digg every day. I Digg them about three times a day. What are your thoughts about this approach and about Ron Paul? |

| Principled Observer  Location: Toledo, Ohio Posts: 13,873 | I consider it the easiest form of support that requires only time, no money, which suits many who don't have the means to contribute to the financially rigged election system.

 Aristotle  Location: Chicago, IL Posts: 4,402 | Please Paul is done! His foreign isn't that bad, but rather its his libertarian ideology is what will kill him and should kill him. The Libertarian philosophy is an extremist philosophy that creates a wealth distribution at the top, shrinks the middle class 10 fold and increases the lower class to astrinomical levels. It weakens the government to a level it can't function properly (To Quote Bill Maher, "There are some problems that are so big only government can handle them). Privation of everything would not work, just as making everything public hasn't work either. His foreign policy isn't that bad (actually I like it), but his libertarian domestic policies are out of touch with reality! |

| Principled Observer Location: Toledo, Ohio Posts: 13,873 | Ghook, your understanding of libertarian philosophy is about as much as Bill Mahers....none, other than what Marx or Stalin said of capitalism.

| Volcanic Erupter  Posts: 9,491 | GHook, as a supporter of torture and as one who is openly hostile to basic habeas corpus rights, I am not surprised that you are not a fan of Ron Paul. Rick "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis |

The only thing that is, what was that word you used, "astrinomical" is your misunderstanding and mischaracterizations of the LP. It is as bad as your spelling. Brien the Iceberg If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. M.T. | |

| BANNED Location: Ohio Province, Rep. of Comerica Posts: 7,320 | I can just smell the desperation, and anguish in these most recent posts of GHooks. Makes coming here a little more pleasurable. I'm betting the propaganda machine thought the experiment had run long enough, but low, and behold, there are still some people with common sense out there that will voice there opinion given the chance. I bet GHook won't be sleeping well for a while. |

| 9/11: Inside Job  Location: Hawai'i, Big Island Posts: 10,438 | GHook, do you have anything against a domestic policy of smaller, less intrusive government and decreasing spending to balance tax relief measures?
