Anyone here still think Ron Paul is going to win the election?

I think that several posters here hit a good point about the "idealogical battle", but truthfully, we won the idealogical battle before the campaign even started.

The general Republican and Democrat positions are idealogically/intellectually bankrupt, and have been for years.
Their "idealogy" is to deceive enough people to win, and then do as they please to enhance their control and profit positions to benefit themselves and their criminal cohorts. Their "platforms" consist of a pack of lies that they have no intention of fulfulling, and the public seems to know this, but doesn't really care.

So no, I don't think it's the idealogical battle that is the issue here.

I define it as a battle against the entrenched INDOCTRINATION that has been carefully fed into the public's minds over many years, which makes them fall prey to the Republican/Democrat overtures.

I plan to either vote for him no matter what. But the average person seems to seek out shallow concepts.

People don't want non-beneficial things—except for what they want. Lobbyists don't want needless programs—except for theirs. ...Same old disgusting song.

In a presidential candidate, people prefer all kinds of dumb promises, pretty/fun words, and artificial glitter to good sense every time. They don't want to have to think about anything complicated; they just want to be payed off.

I hope I'm wrong (in fact I'm actually praying [hard!] I'm wrong), but I think folks will just take the high road (after all, their friends are all voting for the Indonesian actor Mohammad Husein McBanembaum).

We're very likely headed for many many years of turmoil (and the world bankers will be delighted to propagate our misery). The older I get, the more strongly I feel that way. I started the movement of constitutional patriotism in the 1970s. Progress has been moving forward at a painfully slow pace (periodically moving backward). We'll get there someday. The fight's not for wimps, that's for sure. We have future generations to protect (what more motive do we need?)

Its the absurd thinking of the like of, "its not over" that makes us look like fools to the masses. It IS over, our guy lost, end of story. You don't have to like it, be happy about it, and you can sit around all day jumping up and down wishing it were different, but none of that will change it. He lost, and that is all there is for this election.

Now of course something else could happen, aliens could make first contact tomorrow, a volcano could erupt and destroy half the country, dogs could start to talk, but none of that is all together too likely to happen in the next two months. Is anyone quiting their job getting ready for that volcano? Why not? Its possible isn't it?

The actions in the Constitution Parties of Montana and Louisiana speak for themselves. Even if he on the ballot in all 50 states, he might not win, but who even suspected he'd be on the ballot 48 hours ago?

We had our own convention, why don't we have our own election?

Its about the Constitution and what kind of Federal government we have. Right now we have a Federal government that has way over steeped its bounds of power granted to it by the people and the states in the constitution. Let remember the spirit in which and how power derived from the Constitution. There was not a Federal Government that granted the people of this country a right to exist but we the people granted the federal government a limited power and right to exist. Some how we turned from limited federal government is best to a please big daddy government give us everything we want. The media is trying to play up that Obama is so much better because he has so many plans to fix this country, but do they ever question if the federal government even has the power to do what he wants. The tide has turned so much that we the people, the true granters of power no longer have rights. Ron Paul is no going to be our next president but what he stands for is the constitution and the ideal that every citizen has the right to be free and the power of the federal government is limited to what was granted to it by the constitution. We may not win the country in this election but we have created a movement that understands the issues, not from a knee jerk reaction of what is best for them, but a true understanding of the kind of government our constitution created and we have the spirit of live free or die. Its not about an election but that we are serious about a Revolution!

We're winning the intellectual battle thanks to Dr. Paul.

Unfortunately, we're losing the political battle.

Both are very important.

Support the Constitution of the United States

Everything is in place to suspend an election. Bush has his HR 1955 Homegrown terrorism prevention act passed which gives him the power to suspend elections in the event of a "terrorist attack" or natural disaster. The globalists are going to start some kind of conflict just watch. All the signs are there, just look at all the things being stirred up right now. I can not honestly see either Obama or McCain in the white house.

Don't think so. But it's not about one election... It's about our freedom message. Period.
