The first part of Ron Paul’s letter to his supporters reads as though it could be the mission statement of this blog:
“If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won […]

So, Mitt Romney is out. This is interesting, considering that many considered only him and John McCain to be the “serious” contenders for the nomination. Left in the race: John McCain (the inevitable?), Mike Huckabee (blah) and Ron Paul.
So why didn’t Ron Paul do better on Super Tuesday? James Ostrowski attempts […]

This week really puts the “United” in “United States”. A day after one of the most remarkable Superbowl games ever, during which I took a short drive on near-empty streets as everyone was watching the game, we’re now only one day from Super Tuesday, in which Republicans and Democrats in 24 states will be […]

Michael Kinsley had an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times on January 12th entitled ‘Libertarians deserve a listen‘. I agree! And I was interested to see the story. The same thing appeared in the Washington Post on the same day titled slightly less favourably The Church Doctrines of Pope Ron Paul, […]

This is great news. Here’s his endorsement. It’s nice to find myself in agreement with Andrew Sullivan:
“The great forgotten principles of the current Republican party are freedom and toleration. Paul’s federalism, his deep suspicion of Washington power, his resistance to government spending, debt and inflation, his ability to grasp that not all human […]

Well, last night’s CNN/YouTube Presidential Debate was… interesting, for libertarian candidate Ron Paul. As News Long Island reports, mentioning Ron Paul’s spat with John McCain over Iraq:
“Although this was a camera filled exchange for Paul, it clearly seemed that questions were steered away from Paul during the entire debate and that both video questions […]

David Weigel reports from the ground on the massive Philadelphia rally for Ron Paul on Saturday:
“Here was the best example—better even than the churning, cheering rally of at least 4000 people— [US News says 5000] of how the Paul movement has grown. No one crashes Dennis Kucinich or Duncan Hunter events handing out ‘fact sheets.’”
“Things […]

I love Ron Paul. This guy is my dream presidential candidate. He’s articulate and smart, slightly old-codgerish, and outright, honest-to-God, straight-up libertarian.
Not only that, he’s gaining ground. Yesterday recorded the biggest single day of fundraising by any Republican candidate, ever. And that candidate was Ron Paul. As the San Diego […]

I kid you not: top musical artist John Mayer, although a little wasted at the time, almost got into a fist fight with Mac Guy Justin Long (arch-foe of PC Guy in the Mac-PC commercials) over libertarian-Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, whom Mayer appears to be passionate about supporting. “Read the Constitution!” […]

Speaking of Ron Paul, this video is a beautiful primer to libertarianism and comes from the Candidates@Google series.  Google executive Elliot Schrage sits down with Ron Paul to chat about libertarianism and how its principles would be implemented in the event of a Paul White House.  (It gets really good after about 10 minutes.)

I’m getting more and more excited about libertarian candidate for the Republican nomination for President Ron Paul. I’ve always liked Paul. He’s a steadfast devotee to the principles of liberty, and yet running as a Republican, not a candidate of the Libertarian Party.
All the signs are good: he’s bringing in millions of campaign […]
