Many Americans expected change with the new Democratic-controlled Congress but few believe change has occurred. Polls have suggested that the new congress has the same or lower approval ratings than President Bush. Since Ron Paul is running as a Republican, the LP should focus more on local elections or pick up Paul if he doesn't get the nomination

the Constitution gives congress, and congress alone, the ability to declare war. What is the branch of the U.S. government that moves the slowest, has the most debate, is most subject to the changing demands of the citizens, and is the most likely to spend months or even years talking without ever taking meaningfull action? The Congress. That is by

I feel such gratitude toward Congressman Ron Paul for his comments during the Republican presidential debate that I just might vote for guy. You sure as hell don't hear Democrats talking like that.

How could anyone who believes in Freedom, the USA, personal liberty, and a profitable economy not vote for Ron Paul? He hits the nail on the head for every category.

It all started with the presidential debates. Ever since, I've been skittish. My nights are sleepless and days restless. I'm euphoric one minute, and worried sick the next. When I get this way, even my wife and the cats steer clear.

Understand this: Lesser evil voting is not courageous. It is a cowardly surrender to the disappointing two-party status quo. Voters have some remarkable opportunities to transform fine minor candidates into competitive major candidates - more honest and trustworthy people like Ron Paul, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich, for example.

The rambunctious GOP candidate wants to drag the U.S. out of Iraq, can the war on drugs, and overturn the Patriot Act. No wonder Republican power brokers want to boot him off the stage.

When one candidate, Ron Paul, moves and speaks against the grain of both liberal and neo-conservative politicians, we wonder about this person. Some have called him a crackpot extremist because he doesn't fit their image of a "progressive" president. Why I'm impressed by Ron Paul? In one word: Integrity.

The much-vaunted Senate "Compromise" on immigration is a compromise alright: a compromise of our laws, a compromise of our sovereignty, and a compromise of the Second Amendment. That anyone in Washington believes this is a credible approach to solving our immigration crisis suggests just how out of touch our political elites really are.

Speaking as a guest on Bill Maher's HBO show this week, the underdog GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul issued a rebuke to Rudy Giuliani and spoke at length about the value of non-intervention in the pursuit of peaceful change. 'Peace is a powerful message,' said Paul, speaking to Maher, along with fellow guests Ben Afflect and P.J. O'Rourke.

One assumes that Ron Paul knows he is not going to be the next president of the United States - or even the next Republican nominee. Yet the Texas congressman is campaigning hard, aiming particular ire and fire at Rudy Giuliani.

The "blowback" theory isn't some fringe idea common only to crazy Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists. It doesn't suggest that we "deserved" the Sept. 11 attacks, nor does it suggest we shouldn't have retaliated against the people who waged them.

In Tuesday's debate, only John McCain and Ron Paul bucked the collective swooning over enhanced interrogation. Paul mused about the way that torture has become "enhanced interrogation technique. It sounds like newspeak," he noted, referring to George Orwell's term for totalitarian doubletalk in his novel "1984."

Paul initiated an exchange with Giuliani by implying U.S. policies in the Middle East had contributed to the attacks in New York and Washington. "Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," he said.

Commentators often refer to the Internet as the great equalizer, but when it comes to the 2008 election, it appears that the murky economy of Web traction may even give an edge to the long shots. And Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas and an avowed Libertarian known around D.C.

We claim to be spreading democracy in Iraq, but al Sadr has far more democratic support with the majority Shiites than our troops enjoy. The problem is not a lack of democratic consensus; it is the antipathy toward our presence among most Iraqis.

The regime in Iraq has been changed. Yet victory will not be declared: not only does the war go on, it's about to escalate. Obviously the turmoil in Iraq is worse than ever, and most Americans no longer are willing to tolerate the costs, both human and economic, associated with this war.
