"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Dr Manning has lots to say... but I wonder if he really represents Paul's values? An endorsement by Dr Manning for most people would be a negative endorsement not a positive one.
Dr manning in 2008 speaking about candidate Barack Obama... as he insults Obama's mother. Among other accusations, Dr Manning called Obama's mother "white trash" for becoming pregnant by a black man out of wedlock. "It is common knowledge that African men, coming from the continent of Africa—especially for the first time—do diligently seek out white women to have sexual intercourse with. Generally the most noble of white society choose not to intercourse sexually with these men. So it's usually the trashier ones who make their determinations that they're going to have sex."
Any criticism of Candidate Obama is fair, but to insult his mother, shows much more about Dr Manning's lack of character and judgement, than it does about Barack Obama.

Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran “Star” of the Republicans, Obama’s “Nightmare” By Maghsoud Amirian Translated By David Basom 9 January 2012
TEHRAN — Ronald Ernest Paul, 76, is, without a doubt, the star of the tight race among Republican candidates in the USA to determine Barack Obama’s rival in the elections to be held in [November] — a star that, if he can put aside the competitors in his party, would be a nightmare for Obama.
Paul, in the first round [of voting] for Republican candidates in Iowa, was unbelievably successful and placed among the top three candidates for the party. Unbelievable because this liberal, revolutionary physician in the Republican Party who has retained his seat as a representative for Texas in the U.S. Congress for 13 consecutive years had to start the first round of the race in a state where liberals make up only 1 percent of its party members.
According to Republican Party rules, elections in the state of Iowa take place in a “caucus;” [from the original meaning] a meeting of tribal elders — or a caucus, as it’s called — is held. Conservatives make up 88 percent of the members of this gathering, who naturally would prefer over Ron Paul: Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House; Rick Perry, governor of Texas; Rick Santorum, former senator of Pennsylvania; Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts; and even Michele Bachmann, current House representative.
In this tough election, Paul was able to obtain 21 percent of the votes and stood in third place after Romney and Santorum. Romney and Santorum each won 25 percent of the vote, with only eight votes separating them. Gingrich, Perry and Bachmann gathered 13 percent, 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively, which forced Bachmann, “the favorite woman of the tea party movement,” out of the race.
The next round of the race will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 10 in New Hampshire, and this time, everyone in the state is free to vote for any of the candidates. This election will actually show the status and political weight of each candidate to some extent. Not only Republicans will participate in this election, but also Independents and — in some cases — Democrats who plan to divert [votes from] the rival candidates. If Paul can retain or improve his position in this election, or if his main competitor, Romney, can’t extend his lead from the pack, this Republican star will take his next step toward the presidency of the United States more forcefully.
Paul believes the United States must stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and bring its soldiers home, as well as decrease taxes and focus all its efforts on the economy and rebuilding infrastructure. Young Republicans, Independents and even Democrats who are disappointed with Obama have become attracted to his ideas of a small but efficient government, jobs for everyone and cutting off America’s foreign aid — including the $6 billion a year to the Zionist regime [Israel]. Of course, Paul has created fierce enemies just as much for himself with his views.
Israel’s powerful lobby and the powerful media network in America under their control have made every effort to label Paul as a fringe candidate and actually discourage voters. For this reason, his victory in New Hampshire will be very important, because this victory could, to some extent, set back the coordinated propaganda [campaign] of the powerful Israeli lobby in America.
A review of developments in the American election shows that the Israeli lobby in this country, despite the fierce competition among the Republican candidates to show their loyalty to the Zionist regime, has reached the conclusion that the currently weakened Obama can better serve their illicit goals in America. Obama’s actions against Iran over the last two months coincided with the intensification of the publicity of the American presidential campaign; it seems that they were mainly his campaign team’s prescriptions to satisfy the Israeli lobby and so maintain his presidential seat at any cost.
The Israeli lobby is aware that Republican voters, unlike Democrats, place a lot of importance on the issue of a candidate’s religion; many of them are intensely opposed to followers of the Mormon religion and will not vote for a candidate who follows this religion. Even though a radical sect of Mormons calls itself Christian, they don’t fit in any of the three branches of Christianity: Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant.
Official opinion polls in America show that if Romney becomes the candidate for the party, 20 percent of Republican voters will not vote for him because he is Mormon. In America, religious Republicans consider it a duty to participate in elections and vote for a Christian candidate. In an atmosphere of a close two-party contest, this 20 percent of votes will become more meaningful.
Currently, the only winning ticket is Romney, who has been a successful economic manager. Just imagine if America’s economic situation — slowly and with the help of companies loyal to Israel — improves on the eve of elections, and the final candidate is Romney. What would be the result of the race? Undoubtedly, Obama’s chances against Romney will double in such circumstances, and Republicans will lose another opportunity to obtain the office of the presidency.
However, if in the meantime Paul can defeat Romney, he [Obama] will be forced to face the capability to mobilize young American voters, and certainly a tsunami of young voters are Paul supporters. It would be a nightmare for Obama, who has betrayed anti-war groups and American youth, whose votes he leaned on heavily when he gained power back in 2008.
Paul and his views have seriously challenged the war-seeking and profiteering policies of not only Obama but also the rivals in his own party. So much so that even if the Israeli lobby prevents him from reaching the last stages of this election race, he will certainly maintain his standing as a star in the Republican Party, and a broad spectrum of thought in America will be represented.

Damn it's really a two horse race, and if Republican voters have any sense at all and want to beat Obama they need to vote for Ron Paul!!!! Mitt is Obama 2.0, why vote out the president to put in almost the exact same guy?
Dr. Ron Paul: 6 Reasons He Is Electable and Will Win Posted: 1/15/12 06:34 PM ET
Contrary to the false propaganda proclaiming that Dr. Ron Paul is "not electable", his numbers are rising, his support growing and he stands an excellent chance of winning both the GOP nomination and the 2012 presidential race.
Dr. Paul's opponents are desperate to stop Americans from listening to, and subsequently electing Ron Paul. Opponents of liberty falsely present Ron Paul as "unelectable" to the American people, attempting to plant subconscious seeds doubt of "don't listen to him, don't vote for him in the primaries or caucuses because he'll never win". This strategy is failing as more Americans hear Dr. Paul speak, leading them to contribute to his campaign and vote for him. The American public understands Dr. Paul's common sense approach and trusts him. The other candidates are clearly in the race to serve their egos and personal agendas. The "Dr. Paul is not electable" rumors are deliberately created and spread solely as a calculated attempt to confuse honest, hard-working American with falsehoods such as "Ron Paul is crazy, anti-women, anti-Israel and anti-blacks. He's isolationist, he'll wreck the country, he's anti-government". These are simple "control the masses" fear tactics to try and stop Americans from actually listening to Dr. Paul, hearing his logical and intelligent plan and deciding for themselves.
Dr. Paul went from third in Iowa, to second in New Hampshire and may win South Carolina. The new video about Romney's career, King of Bain, depicts Romney as a deceptive and greedy man with Wall Street connections who made his money destroying viable companies. The film portrays as Romney unnecessarily eliminating jobs of hard-working people while getting rich himself.
Ron Paul on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid:
Paul frequently targets the nation's entitlement programs. He calls Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid unconstitutional. In a 2008 debate, Paul said he would like to abolish Social Security, "but not overnight." Paul voted against the 2003 law establishing prescription drug coverage under Medicare. Opposed to government involvement in health care, Paul voted to create and then to expand medical savings accounts for individuals and businesses. He recently introduced legislation to end the individual mandate to buy health insurance.
A vote for Paul would be a vote against America's senior citizens.

Paul wants to give the younger generation the option to opt out of SS, however he says we must honor those who have already paid into it. Many of our young people don't even believe they will get SS because of how badly ran the program is. The democrats shot down bills that would have tried to make it sustainable, they wish to deny reality that the system has flaws and will eventually collapse without an overhaul.

Good, that is not the governments role and to be honest Obamacare was jut another step into tyranny. You must buy this or else you face penalties, yeah real American >

There are a lot of choices that those who advocate "choice" don't want people choosing. Interestingly enough, when it comes to opting out of state funded programs, they want you to have NO CHOICE.
Ron Paul bills taxpayers $50,000 for first class flights!
An Associated Press report published Monday found that since May 2009, Paul had billed taxpayers for 31 round-trip flights and 12 one-way flights, all first class.
In all, taxpayers paid $52,000 for flights where cheaper tickets were available. AP found that Paul’s office could have saved $27,621 by selecting economy tickets instead.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Paul has blasted his Republican opponents for not being serious about cutting spending.
“You are a big spender,” the candidate told former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum at a debate earlier this month. “You are a big-government conservative. To say you are a conservative is a stretch. Somebody has to point out your record.” (And now AP has pointed out Pauls)
