I was like finally! Thank God! A man that is speaking the truth!
A man that has his heart in the right place! A man that is for the people! A man that has integrity! A man that is for America!
I'm so disappointed. C'mon people, wake up! please!

I have heard the insults "nutjob" and "idiot". These are actually good signs. It shows that opponents can not make an intelligent argument and instead are left with child like temper tantrums. Ron Paul is the best debater Republican or Democrat. He actually knows the issues and uses intelligent arguments to make his case.

Given the new age of information that is not directly censured we may find out soon.
Most people are reacting to sound bytes and information that has been purposely crafted to make Ron Paul look bad. Problem is that we now have other sources (youtube, digg) and we have some entertainers (Bill Maher, Rosie O'Donnell) trying to get the truth out.
If you want some entertainment, watch this clip of Rosie and friends working over Elizabeth (I only say that because Liz can't even form a coherent sentence in defense)

I don't see anyone treating him badly, I just see people ignoring him. I've heard his interpretation of the truth, and I don't agree with it. I think it's a simplistic view of world politics and the United States boiled down to a bunch of meaningless phrases. If he can't see that the situation is more complicated than that, he has no business being near the White House. I think he means well, but that doesn't make him worthy of the White House, or electable by any stretch of the imagination. He doesn't understand basic human psychology or he wouldn't have stuck his neck out about 9/11 in the manner he did. He alienated a lot of people, and I'm sorry, but that just doesn't seem very wise when you are running for President. He could have framed his thoughts in better words to avoid all that, but he didn't have the skill to do so. He's not going anywhere but home.

I'm also upset at how the media is treating supporters of Ron Paul! All I did recently was ask and respond to questions on why Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul wasn't getting much coverage by the media and them my YA account was suspended--with no explanation and no response when I contested the suspension! I am longtime YA user with no problems and now I have to start anew!!!!
My Space has also done this to their members by suspending accounts of those who posted pro-Ron Paul material on their sites. What's the media so afraid of? Do WE have to chip in some money, too, so we can have coverage for OUR candidates also??? Ron Paul has been on the TOP of the polls for both of the debates, yet the media conveniently ignores him!

I'm always shocked at sedition. It's wrong. It doesn't matter what representative it is aimed at.
It is appropriate to oppose goals and words you disagree with, but calling our representatives names, spreading false rumors, or treating our representatives as "guilty until proven innocent" is seditious (which is no longer illegal, but is still contemptible).
Even if the representative himself acts seditiously.
Face down the seditious. Don't join them by attacking their side the same way.
I am a democrat, second; a U.S. citizen and patriot, first.
Thank you, President Bush and President Clinton, and all of our representatives for your calm tolerance of the nonsense people spew about both of you.
May most of us always see through it to the men and women trying their best in their own ways to make our country great.

It's not so bad. Actually, it's typical. I like the quote from Mahatma Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Something to look forward to!
I can tell that the campaign is taking off. All the negative press and attacks from front-line candidates is a great sign.

Not shocked at all. Most people have only heard snippets of what was said & don't bother finding out the whole story. They only hear the views of what news channel they listen to/ watch want them to hear.

I'm not shocked at all. Look at the blatant hatred, intolerance and open hostility that is expressed by Americans towards fellow Americans right here in this forum. It is far easier to retreat into the false sense of the infallibility of ones ideas than the braver path, to take ownership of errors and provide practical solutions.
