May 25, 2005 Mr. Paul on C-Span told the house of Rep. that there was $6 billion dollars that was being funded for Permanent US military bases and it took a fancy Texas-Two-Step dance by Condi Rice to squash the statement. &lt;br&gt;It is my hope that sooner or later our congressional people will really tell us the real reason our troops were used as a Agressive Nation in order to build another Nation to our liking. After all this country has sacrificed, but not by many of those sitting home and saying this is shameful. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;George W. Bush and the neoconc have &amp;quot;WASTED&amp;quot; the lives of our Citizen Soldiers just to build a EMPIRE and they were wrong about the invasion and now we are in a &amp;quot;Cinco de Mayo&amp;quot; situation. One better than that, is Iraq just signed a contract to purchase weapons from China, 10-04,2007, saying that they could get them faster from China. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What the Hell are we giving them so called freedom and then being kicked in the teeth and feeding a Communist Nation that is building their military and loaning the USA money to continue the Middle East expansion. &amp;nbsp;It seems that here in America that the &amp;quot;Inmates are running the asylum&amp;quot;. that is a quote from a financial times reporter 2 or 3 years ago. Just recently another saying appeared but I can not think of his name, I believe it was Paul Begala on the situation room saying it is like the &amp;quot;Snake eating his tail.&amp;quot; Unless more Americans get off their duffs and stage walk out and peacefull demostration this country will be in Iraq when your grand children are ready for service, which at that time will be mandatory. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jim McGovern, David Obey, John Murtha are right, the burdon of this war should be the whole nation not on our grandchildren. There should be calls for a complete pull out of all US personal in Iraq as it is the Middle East War Zone. The top will blow whether we leave now or 100 years from now. Petreaus was a military prop that this administration used as they used Colin Powellat the United Nations. &amp;nbsp;It was said that Colin Powell when reading the script &amp;nbsp;for the UN his comments as reported by Business Week was &amp;quot;You dfon't expect me to deliver this &amp;quot;BULLSHIT&amp;quot; to the UN do you. And the responce was this is the speech this &amp;nbsp;administration is requiring you to give. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If calculation are correct by March '08 our death toll on our military should be 4,300 military dead and 31,400+ wounded. &amp;nbsp;Jan.'07 we were told to wait until Sept for the report, when that was asked we had 3,000 dead military since then another 399 are dead.&lt;br&gt;It is time to cut our losses and become real Americans that will deter any and all agressors against the United States of America. &amp;nbsp;Before we lose everything, stand up and be counted as the real Americas.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#398869</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:28:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:398869</guid><dc:creator>K.

He has thousands of enthusiastic supporters who are working hard to get his name out. The internet serves as a useful tool, seeing mainstream media seemingly has no conscience. Ron Paul unites us all under the Constitution. He alone has the high moral ground to disengage us from the Iraq war. Imagine a politician who cares up the people, rather than sell out to special interests. The other candidates are raising money from those seeking favors in return. We donate to the Paul campaign, because of his promise that he will no nothing for us, other than to give us liberty. He believes we are entitled to 100% of the fruits of our labor. He voted against the Patriot Act. His record is legendary.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#398983</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:16:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:398983</guid><dc:creator>thid1, los angeles, ca</dc:creator><description>dirty tactics merely expose fear, weakness and a willingness to be crooked. we are on to you. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron Paul for America&lt;br&gt;America for Ron Paul&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#398985</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:16:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:398985</guid><dc:creator>Fred Feinstein</dc:creator><description>Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP Foundation) put on the summit that did this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their contact info can be found at --&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.defendingthedream.org"&gt;http://www.defendingthedream.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ask them what they think they are doing over there, in the name of democracy and according to the principles of freedom that this great God-loving country was founded on.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#398986</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:16:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:398986</guid><dc:creator>Mike, Fort Wayne, IN</dc:creator><description>This kind of treatment to US all and Ron Paul only makes me MORE MORE MORE determined to work harder and give more $$$ for this campaign!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Arise my fellow Patriots!

GO RON PAUL! GOD BLESS RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2008! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm a 48 year old grandfather who's greatly appreciating the Ron Paul Presidential campaign! The BIGGER story however is, that Ron Paul has $5.3M cash on hand and that he's NOT going to take matching funds! Most political experts est. the Ron Paul ever rapidly growing &amp;nbsp;grass-roots volunteer army of 50,000+ to be worth the equivalent of &amp;nbsp;$10M+ per month in campaign contributions! SO WAKE UP NEOCONS &amp;amp; WAR MONGERS! America is sick and tired of &amp;quot;BIG BROTHER&amp;quot; government breathing down our necks and getting us involved in no-win, unconstitionally, undeclared &amp;quot;military-industrial&amp;quot; growth wars in the middle east, plus the 130 other countries we have a presence in at the taxpayers expense of $1 TRILLION per year! I personally loathe working 5 months out of the year to pay my income tax obligation that's earmarked 100% for the &amp;quot;interest-only&amp;quot; payment on the $10 TRILLION National debt to the &amp;quot;ultra-private&amp;quot; Federal Reserve Banking Cartel! Of course, I detest our current &amp;quot;pack of beaurocrats&amp;quot; who are spending our tax dollars like &amp;quot;junkies waiting for their next fix!&amp;quot; I am however, extremely delighted as to the way Ron Paul has shown his frugal fiscal responsibility regarding his own personal campaign - Let's compare that with ANY other presidential candidates finances and review their &amp;quot;donations vs. expenditures&amp;quot; ratios? Then ask yourself this important question - Who do you really want running our economy for the next 4-8 years? A fiscal conservative who thinks our dollars should be backed by something other than printing money out of &amp;quot;thin air&amp;quot; and who would replace the dreaded &amp;quot;Income Tax&amp;quot; with NOTHING! &amp;nbsp;Or just the same 'ole same 'ole ...btw...FYI to MSM a point of clarification ... In the United States, non-interventionism has often been confused with Isolationism. Critics of non-interventionism frequently add to this confusion by smearing prominent non-interventionist as isolationists. However, true isolationism combines a non-interventionist foreign policy with protectionism (economic nationalism) and strict border controls to prevent international travel and cultural exchange. The majority non-interventionists in the United States reject protectionism in favor of free trade, international travel, and cultural exchange. YES, Ron Paul is a NON-INTERVENTIONIST! Please for God Sake learn the difference, unless you're intentially misleading or smearing Ron Paul. Also, while I'm on a roll - The term &amp;quot;Long Shot&amp;quot; for Ron Paul can gracefully be discarded into the compost pile of media bias and propaganda. Folks, this may be our last chance ... The choice is YOURS! ... GOOGLE Ron Paul for yourself and get the WHOLE story on the man many believe to be an American Hero!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best Ron Paul video - (Reply: WRONG!?Best Presidential Candidacy Video EVER!!!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfdB5OzlyQ"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfdB5OzlyQ&lt;/a&gt;[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;None are more enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;-- Goethe</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399190</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:29:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399190</guid><dc:creator>Jeremy, Chicago, Illinois</dc:creator><description>Register to vote a Republican and vote in the primaries for Ron Paul. &amp;nbsp;It's easy, go to:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.rockthevote.com/&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He's the first real hope America's had in a long, long time.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399192</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:29:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399192</guid><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><description>It was just ten minutes too long.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399194</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:30:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399194</guid><dc:creator>Al Doyle, Oshkosh, WI</dc:creator><description> &amp;nbsp;Every time Ron Paul is censored or smeared, those of us who support this honest and decent man should send another contribution or hand out some campaign literature. &amp;nbsp;Calling the neocons brain dead is overstating their intelligence. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;Thank you for reporting what happened, MSNBC.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399197</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:31:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399197</guid><dc:creator>Kelly S, Austin, TX</dc:creator><description>I remember when the GOP was threatening to keep him out of the debates and when they &amp;quot;uninvited&amp;quot; him to that Iowa tax forum. &amp;nbsp;They knew he was a threat to the big-government Republicans.

Stop wasting time arguing on the internet with people that are never going to see things differently until the horrible consequences of our current failed policies are shoved in their faces. An outcome they will hopefully never have to face if the rest of us reach our goals. Get out, hit the streets, put up a sign, talk to people, knock on doors, be friendly and polite, be informed and above all encourage others to do the same. Make a difference that will show on the ballots. Re-read this thread and wonder why you’re doing this instead of making a real difference. Time is running out.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399243</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:49:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399243</guid><dc:creator>RW</dc:creator><description>No problem at all with Ron Paul being cut off from his speech!&lt;br&gt;Anyone who is watching it will see the childish disrespect, which immediately translates into suspicion and anger toward the Establishment and MSM.&lt;br&gt;Keep disrespecting Ron Paul!

Ron Paul walks with a slight stoop, and the reporter mentioned that &amp;quot;Ron Paul is standing tall after reaching 5 million in contributions&amp;quot;, then immediately going to a video clip of him walking to the podium. Expect it, here it comes. Typical school yard behavior from these nasty and miserable people because they can't talk on substance. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Phase 3 will be really nasty stuff brought up about Ron Paul.

Or any of the people in office. The problems of this country have been caused by the people who ELECTED the people that are currently in office. Why doesn't anyone EVER mention this? Everyone always bitches about how terrible the country is doing because 'they' (replace they with whatever political party you dislike) did something wrong.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No, 'they' did not do anything wrong. YOU did something wrong. WE didnt something wrong. WE elected professional liars to office. WE keep re-electing professional liars to office. WE keep voting for the guy who pretends he's the most moral and perfect. Wake up. NO one is perfect. Stop voting for what you want to hear and start voting for the truth. Start voting for the guy who says we have to cut spending AND increase taxes. Because thats the only way we're going to get rid of out debt. But no, people dont like to hear that so they keep voting for the guy who says he's going to pull a magic trick out of his ass by cutting taxes and increasing spending AND they are going to lowed the debt at the same time some how. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm really just so sick of how stupid people act when you get them in a big group. I'm convinced that intelligence is the one thing that doesn't add up, it adds down. Take a few handful of people and you might get some good ideas. Take a few million and you get crap. You get people who vote for one guy because he 'looks nice' or because he says something impossible but it sounds nice so we vote for him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And most of us really just dont care. How else do you explain that people are demanding the heads of everyone in the white house after iraq? I mean getting a blowjob in the oval office is one thing..clinton only screwed one person. Bush is screwing the whole nation. We started a damn war over lies or through complete incompetence. That seems like the sort of thing that should piss people off and make them all march in the street demanding someone pay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nothing in this country is going to get better if we all think the problems are caused by 'them'. Maybe they'll get better if we realize the problems are caused by 'us'. We must be the only country where we invade a country to give them democracy (or at least thats the current explanation) and yet more then half of our own citizens dont vote. </description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#399694</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:38:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:399694</guid><dc:creator>Dave Phelps</dc:creator><description>It sure would be nice to see one of these forums or &amp;quot;debates&amp;quot; give strict EQUAL time to the participants.

Disgusting!</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#400562</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 Oct 2007 01:48:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:400562</guid><dc:creator>Domenico Montanaro</dc:creator><description>We have stopped accepting comments for this thread.</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#400653</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 Oct 2007 05:43:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:400653</guid><dc:creator>ewkeane michigan city indiana</dc:creator><description>the 08 presidental contest, and its outcome, may depend on how effective the reform activism of new gop recruits over the next 13 months. reformers, keep your eye on the ball, yes that is ron paul. he will need delegates to get electorial collage votes. but dont forget pointing fingers at neocon promoters of false doctrine. &amp;nbsp;the false doctrine is that of political scientist LEO STRAUSS. promoters of that doctrine ought to be purged from the party, or at least exposed within party ranks and removed from positions of policy. &amp;nbsp;neo-conservitism is the conservitism of franco spain, mussilini italy and hitler germany. keep it positive, with a little humor and KEEP IT CLEAN! &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#400665</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 Oct 2007 06:33:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:400665</guid><dc:creator>Jerry Alexander</dc:creator><description>To &amp;quot;Amazed, Atlanta&amp;quot;:On of the biggest problems in America today is those that vote party-regardless.&lt;br&gt;How could you be so stupid?</description></item><item><title>DC forum sounds the music on Paul</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/05/398701.aspx#400667</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 Oct 2007 06:43:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:400667</guid><dc:creator>Jerry Alexander</dc:creator><description>M.
