Liberty lovers in ever-increasing numbers are lining up to support a Presidential bid by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). Later this month Paul will give a speech at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, and many are speculating that he may officially announce his candidacy.
Why in the world, though, would libertarians come out in support of a Republican?
Ron Paul is famously known as “Dr. No” on Capitol Hill, voting no on virtually everything that passes his way as unconstitutional. Many people feel that with enough people like him in Congress, it would be a snap to restore the United States to its Constitutional limits and regain the liberties we have lost.
Indeed, many diverse groups are coming together to support the Ron Paul candidacy.
Paul will be speaking at the closing ceremony of the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, organized by the Free State Project to show off the success of liberty in New Hampshire, but organizers haven’t said what the topic of his speech will be.
In addition, the night before his Liberty Forum speech, the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers will host a fundraising reception (PDF) at a supporter’s home. Everyone is invited to attend; it’s a big house.
If you believe in liberty, and you’re ready to do something tangible and worthwhile to take it back, both the Liberty Forum and Ron Paul’s appearance are well worth your time. You may also get to see yours truly. Book now as seats for John Stossel’s keynote speech and dinner are limited and running out.
Update: Ron Paul will officially announce his candidacy February 19, according to an e-mail sent by David Pyne of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. So I guess we don’t get to see the announcement, but we do get to see a Presidential candidate up close and personal. Join us.

Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.
Gardner Goldsmith explains why claims by politicians that consumers can become "irrational" and why claims by the same politicians that government can help "fix" markets are both false and misleading. He also explains what the terms Praxeology and Epistemology mean, which is key in understanding how to place free markets in their proper place among human history.

As awesome as Ron Paul is, he’s not likely to gain the nomination. What he is likely to do is create a large splinter within the GOP that will be more likely to vote for a Libertarian. To ensure that they do, we should nominate the electable candidate – George Phillies.

Electable?! Is this a popularity contest?! You should always vote for the persons that represents you best. By voting for the “electable” candidate you are saying this “person” represents you. I will personally do everything in my power to get Ron Paul elected president not only becuase I do believe he IS “electable” but he REPRESENTS me in almost every way. Candidates who pander and go against what it says in the constitution do not represent me, no matter how “electable” they are!

He’s a Turn Coat and Tancredo uses Turncoats like Bay Buchanan.
Bay/Angstalla Buchanan/Tom Tancredo are especially funny because both McCain
and Hagelin must see them as Victory Flags, After I suffered harrasment and
shit over Buchanan 2000, and never went crawling back to the Republicrat consortium,
I see those worms do it. It sicken me.
What about Stanhope and Badnarik? Etc…

Ron Paul joined the Libertarian Party in 1987 as a lifetime member, a status which he has never renounced, even though he was only elected to Congress as a Republican.
Dr. Paul professes a limited government, libertarian ideology
and advocates a strict non-interventionist foreign policy
Ron Paul has taken some positions on foreign policy issues that some Libertarians do not agree with, voting against the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), claiming that it increased the size of government.
I hope Ron Paul announces this weekend in New Hampshire at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, and if not then soon at maybe some Republican fundraiser in our great state of Iowa.
Anyone who supports libertarian ideals should join the rest of us and register as Republicans in their States’ primaries/caucuses to help get him the Republican nomination for the President of these United States.
You can vote for Phillies later in the general election if you really need to.

“Run, Ronnnnyyy, ruuuuuun!”
This is the biggest election of our lives and could be the last true free elction where we actually have a candidate who represents the Founders views. We have a good shot this year.
The religious right will NOT support a candidate who is pro-gay rights and pro-choice. Guliani, McCain, Gingrich are OUT.
Sam Brownbutt is a wolf in sheeps clothing about immigration and the war.
Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo should run together. They need to support each other and make a LOT of news and say some radical stuff to get in the news. Ron and Tom are real Americna heros and I am really excited about them.

As George Washington was reluctant to run as the first president, I see Congressman Paul as a reluctant candidate presidential today. These men are humble public servants. They are statemen. Most candidates thinking of running for president have had this possibility on their minds for years. Positioning themselves to be in the right place at the right time to have the right backers. Congressman Paul would never consider such activity. If he becomes a candidate and if he is to win, it is up to you and me. If we really believe in our Constitution and personal liberty, we have to make it happen. We have an opportunity, but we must make the “buzz.” We must go to the website www.ronpaulexplore.com and make him understand he has our support and then when he does declare, we have to make it happen. There is no doubt, if elected, he will do his part and uphold the Constitution as his record proves, but getting him elected rests squarely on our shoulders! Come on folks, this is the chance of our life time…we can’t afford to blow it!!

Take Margie’s advice. While At the site make a generous donation to Dr. Paul’s campaign. He needs money to take the fight to them. The opposition is being bought right now by special interests to the total of plus $100 millions. Dr. Paul needs all of us to support him so he has a chance. You may give up to $2300. If you have it send it in today, if you can’t spare that at one time $230 per month for ten months will work. Don’t give til it hurts ****>>>GIVE UNTIL IT FEELS GOOD

cont…If 45,000 of us will do it he will have the funds to go around the major media directly to the voters and win. If we don’t do it the media will mostly ignore him as they are now.
Please give whatever you can.
Liberty hangs in the balance. His message needs to be heard by America.
Keep your powder dry, I hope you don’t need it… !!!
