1. Ron Paul is a real man. He may not have huge muscles like Arnold but he has more of what makes a man in him than the guvernator does. Barry Bonds - not a real man. Huckabee- not a real man. It was 7 against 1 on that stage and RP never waivered from the strength of his convictions. He could have changed his message to appease those who attack him but he didn't do that. He stood firm - that's a real man.

2. The Machine (meaning political insiders in collusion with the MSM who build brands just like Coke and McDonald's build brands) are introducing Fred Thompson to you because they have realized that Rudy G. and Mitt R. are not viable candidates. FT is their hedge and they are trying hard to paint him as the real Republican. Once this seems to be working watch for Rudy to be tossed aside used and betrayed.

3. I work in the manufactured housing industry. After Hurricane Katrina my boss worked hard to find a way to receive some of the federal money that was being doled out in bushels to companies "that could help." In doing so I received a list of the companies that had actually received contracts. A car dealership in Indiana received $6 million to to supply trailers. Another company who is one of the smallest manufacturers in the country (and who was on the verge of bankruptcy) received a $60 million contract to supply single-wides that had to be shipped all the way from Georgia. The ineptness of the way the money was given to vendors is mind boggling and is joke inside the industry. http://www.epa.gov/katrina/vendors.html

I firmly believe that Iraq is just a man made Katrina fabricated by the administration in order to syphon money from the American Taxpayer and shift it to the right people who had their hands out. The war is bigger than Bush or Cheney or Rumsfeld or Rice. They are just on the payroll.

Read this month's Rolling Stone if you need more proof.

4. A lot of people are lamenting over the fact that the campaigning and primaries are starting a lot sooner than usual. This is because people can't wait for January 2009 to be here quick enough.

5. Don't fret too much about the political pundits trying to marginalize Dr. Paul. Hannity, Medved, Ingraham are not journalists and the reason they are succesful is because they have a lot of power and money backing their message:

They don't want to mention Ron Paul's name not because they don't take him seriously. It's because they know that once somebody hears about him they are going to go to their computer and Google the name. What happens next is what happens to most people: "Hey, this guy's on to something."

Guys like Rush, Hannity, etc. are not about endorsing real conservatism any more than Vince McMahon is about endorsing real wrestling. If they were, Hannity would not be campaigning for a guy who publicly states that abortions are a Constitutional right. In the end they are just like old fashioned disk jockeys who were offered "payola" for playing the records that the music industry wanted the audience to hear.

6. A lot of Ron Paul supporters sometimes wince when we think he does something that may be politically onpopular. We may wish he would phrase things in a certain way to apeal to more people or to abstain from mentioning how he wants to cut government programs until a later time in the campaign.

This is normal and is a result of all of us being trained for so long to recognize the typical politician. Even though we are supporters we are just not used to hearing someone state things other than, "We should be the United States of America, not the Divided States of America" and other cliched nonsense.

To be able to speak truly from the heart the way Dr. Paul does as opposed to having sound bites written by a professional is truly something only a real man can do. See #1.
