As Ron Paul states, he is not seeking power. He wants to restore liberty. He acknowledges that the power is in WE THE PEOPLE. I believe with ANY candidate, they need support from with the people (unless they support the growing dictatorship mentality.) I see Ron Paul as being a vehicle that has helped unite people from all sects, parties and denominations in rediscovering the principles of freedom and liberty. That is what makes US winners. Not the office of Presidency. It is that education that the founders knew would be the preservation of liberty.
Freedom is for a society that embraces its principles.
The more Romney is talked about, the more opportunity we have to discuss our faith.
I want to say something snippy like "anything else is just politics", but I can't really bring myself to do it, because politics is very important. The national debate, where we all get together and talk with one another about what's important, and what should be important, and what should be done about it, keeps us healthy.

I've had a lot of opportunities to discuss mormonism. I get somewhat disappointed by those who dismiss it because "They knew a mormon" and invariably it's some story about some mormon who failed to live the standards of the church.
My reply is usually something like, "Aw, That's too bad. Sounds like that fellow succumbed to temptation." :)

I think Mitt has a great record when it comes to what he did as governor.
I feel he would do better as President... although he has shot himself in the foot a couple of times in the past few weeks with what he "says" off the cuff.
I've also noticed he does better when his wife is around. Ann is a great influence for good.
Perhaps the campaign will slow down a little for the next couple of days with Christmas and all.
Again,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Polly. Go for another 50!

RON PAUL is not afraid to use the words "OBEY THE CONSTITUTION".
Additionally he is not afraid to actually discuss the real issues.. and in my opinion he is more educated in the real issues...
ONE MAIN FACT ..FIAT currency and creating money out of nothing have always led to economic collapse...THE US is heading that direction as well and RON PAUL is the ONLY candidate educated or at least willing to honestly discuss rather than avoid the issue.
Additionally RON PAUL is the ONLY CANDIDATE that isnt afraid to admitt that our foriegn policy is part of the problems we face, others seem to pretend that anything we do is acceptable and that we can do no wrong.
I'm starting to think that you actually support another candidate and you're trying to send people screaming the other way. Your mode of communication is very alarmist and off-putting and you're really not going to change any minds like that.

Calling the former Vietnam POW a hero, Huckabee said, "I felt like when Mitt Romney went after the integrity of John McCain, he stepped over the line."
Oh, isn't that just oozing with integrity. Huck's as phoney as a three dollar bill.
