More Brilliance From Ron Paul....

Again, Ron Paul was given relatively short shift in Wednesday's Republican debate at the Ronald Reagan Library at Simi Valley, California.


And again, Dr. Paul clearly outdistanced his rivals by, at the very least, a country mile.

Here are his thoughts on John McCain's suggestion that US troops remain in Iraq for a hundred years.

Imagine

How much better off we'd be if we still had the America of our forefathers.

Or, at least, the America of Ron Paul's vision.

Because of the differences in how absentee and early-voting returns are handled, some counties report an estimate of the precincts reporting based on expected turnout.


Former New York Mayor Benito Giuliana is formally pulling the plug on his Presidential campaign and will endorse Senator Doubletalk.

At least 62,000 Florida voters chose freedom.

Maybe there will be more time for Ron Paul in tonight's scheduled GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Library at Simi Valley, California.

As for what amounts as a "beauty contest" for the Democrats because of the state's delegates taken away from by the national party because of primary scheduling:

Democrats

0 delegates*

Candidate	Vote	%	Delegates
Hillary Rodham Clinton	856,944	49.7%	Delegates stripped by party
Barack Obama	568,930	33.0
John Edwards	248,575	14.4
Joseph R. Biden Jr.	15,426	0.9

*The Democratic National Committee plans to penalize Florida Democrats for holding an early primary by stripping the state party of all its delegates to the national convention. If the penalty is lifted, the state party will have 185 pledged and 25 unpledged delegates.

Because of the differences in how absentee and early-voting returns are handled, some counties report an estimate of the precincts reporting based on expected turnout.

Would-be-commisar, errrr, former North Carolina Senator John Edwards has announced plans to suspend his Presidential campaign today at a speech in New Orleans. He has no plans at the moment to endorse any of his surviving opponents.

Benito's Last Stand?

Could Florida indeed be do or die for the former Mayor of New York City?

Pro Libertate: My President Is Nobody

Pro Libertate: My President Is Nobody

An excellent blogcolumn on the cult known as the American Presidency.

You have to look to the posthumous personality cults of Dishonest Abe, FDR, JFK.

Some might say that Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are living versions of personality cultism.

This was certainly NOT what the Founding Fathers (perhaps save for Alexander Hamilton) had in mind.

The Recently Deceased Indonesian Dictator May Have Been A Bastard...

But, at least, he was OUR bastard.

Barack Obama's Big Saturday; Big Endorsement For John McCain

I did not think that Barack Obama would end up with such a large percentage of the vote in Saturday's South Carolina Democratic Primiary:

Results

Democrats

45 pledged delegates, 9 unpledged

Candidate	Vote	%	Delegates
Barack Obama	295,091	55.4%	To be determined
Hillary Rodham Clinton	141,128	26.5
John Edwards	93,552	17.6
Bill Richardson	725	0.1
Joseph R. Biden Jr.	693	0.1
Dennis J. Kucinich	551	0.1
Christopher J. Dodd	247	0.0
Mike Gravel	240	0.0

It appears that Senator Obama will pick up 25 of the South Carolina delegates, while Mrs. Clinton will pick up 12 and Senator Edwards 8.


Meanwhile, in front of this Tuesday's Republican winner-take-all primary in Florida, that state's Governor, Charlie Crist has endorsed John The Free Speech Muzzler McCain.

Looks like it, according to The Media Institute.

Ron Paul's Best Showing To Date...

Was in Saturday's Nevada Republican caucuses:

1,797 Precincts

Republicans (100% reporting)

Candidate	Raw #	%
Mitt Romney	22,649	51
Ron Paul	6,087	14
John McCain	5,651	13
Mike Huckabee	3,616	8
Fred Thompson	3,521	8
Rudy Giuliani	1,910	4
Duncan Hunter	890	2

There were quite a few Nevadans who believed in freedom.

As for the South Carolina Primary:

Republicans

24 pledged delegates

Candidate	Vote	%	Delegates
John McCain	140,798	33.2%	To be determined
Mike Huckabee	126,187	29.8
Fred D. Thompson	66,824	15.8
Mitt Romney	63,909	15.1
Ron Paul	15,570	3.7
Rudolph W. Giuliani	8,989	2.1
Duncan Hunter	1,024	0.2
Tom Tancredo	114	0.0
Others	162	0.0

95% reporting | Updated 1:44 AM ET

The Republican National Committee plans to penalize South Carolina Republicans for holding an early primary by stripping the state party of half of its delegates. Without the penalty, the state party would have 44 pledged and three unpledged delegates.

California Congressman Duncan Hunter on Saturday decided to pull the plug on his Presidential campaign, which never gained any traction.

As for the Democrats, Hillary Clinton topped Barack Obama in the popular vote in the Nevada Caucuses, though the Illinois Senator may still end up winning more delegates.

More Evidence......

That John McCain is NO friend of freedom.

More Than 54,000 Michigan Voters Chose Freedom

Ol' Catcher's Mitt won Tuesday's Michigan Primary:

So Much For The New Hampshire State Motto

Here are results from Tuesday's New Hampshire Republican Primary:

Republicans	Vote	%	Del

At least over 18,000 people voted for freedom.

Ron Paul will take part in tomorrow's scheduled Fox News Channel debate telecast from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (but Duncan Hunter and Alan Keyes are being left out, again).

Maybe Hillary's crying game worked:

Could be an apt description of Ron Paul.

FNC Loses Forum Partner

This is what you get for excluding Ron Paul (and Duncan Hunter, who is excluded from tonight's ABC debate as well) from your upcoming New Hampshire forum.

I wonder if FNC's exclusion (especially of Dr. Paul) is at corporate behest.

HEIL HUCK!! Part Three

Here's an on-line article that says that the mainline Christian churches in this country has become eerily similar to their German counterparts in Adolf's time.

Chuck Baldwin and Ron Paul are the true Christian brothers, not Food Fascist Mike.

Iowa Post Mortems

As you may know, in Thursday's Iowa Republican caucuses, Ron Paul finished in double digits with 10%, while Mike Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer Huckabee took the contest by a surprisingly large margin over Catcher's Mitt Romney. Fred Thompson finished third, just ahead of John I Wanna Limit Free Speech McCain.

Dr. Paul had more than twice the support that Rudy Benito Giuliani received.

Pressure is growing on Fox News Channel to include Dr. Paul in their scheduled Sunday forum in New Hampshire.

As if anyone cared, Barrack Obama took the Democrat's contest, with John Mr. Class Warfare Edwards edging out Bill----errrrrr----Hillary Clinton for second. Two longtime senators quit the Dem race, Joe Biden (DE) and Chris Dodd (CT).

In spite of what Sports Guy Keith reported on MSNBC, ex-Alaska Senator Mike Gravel has not dropped out.

There are some disquieting similarities between this country now and Prussia in Otto von Bismarck's time.
