McCain Wants To Run Against Ron Paul in November

By Lew Rockwell / The LRC Blog
When asked his preferred opponent, Obama or Clinton, McCain said Ron Paul. The war criminal meant it as a joke, but if only: a general election between a man of peace and a mass killer, between an Austrian economist and a fascist, between an honest money man and a Fed counterfeiter, between a good man and a bad one.

The Hill: 2008 & Counting

The Hill
McCain and RNC reach for political aspirin -- Sen. John McCain, the GOP’s presidential candidate, has a headache that threatens to turn into a convention migraine. Even though the Arizona senator secured enough delegates to claim the nomination in early March, Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-Texas) vocal and zealous supporters have given no indication they or their champion are ceding ground.

Ron Paul Republicans on the rise in NC

The Charleston City Paper - Southern Avenger
Kudos last night to North Carolina voters for nominating B.J. Lawson, a bonified Ron Paul Republican to the nomination for the 4th Congressional District and re-electing Walter Jones Jr. to the sixth CD. Jones was the only GOP member of Congress to endorse Paul for President. This is important because while Lawson faces an uphillclimb in a heavily Democrat district, just the fact he won the district puts it Ron Paul's hands. Given the way the GOP divies up its delegates to its national convention by Congressional District, controlling a district is a big deal and means Ron Paul's Republicans are going to have influence and power within the party in the future regardless what happens this fall.

Ron Paul Looks Ahead of Convention

By Amanda Carpenter / Townhall.com
Congressman Ron Paul ruled out the possibility of running as a third party candidate in the 2008 election and said he expected support for his candidacy at the Republican National Convention at a private event to discuss his new book Wednesday afternoon. "Theoretically, I could run as an Independent or third party, but realistically I have no plans to do that," Paul told a small audience of conservatives in Washington.

Housing Market Crash Predicted By Ron Paul and Alan Greenspan

PressMediaWire.com
The inflation and subsequent collapse of the residential real estate market was facilitated by the Federal Reserve over nearly a decade. From the late 1990's when the technology bubble burst until early 2007 when investors began to realize how much bad debt had actually been created in the housing market, interest rates were kept artificially low, while capital poured into suburban sprawl and subprime mortgages.

Ron Paul Tops One Million Votes

Third Party Watch
Ron Paul finished third in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries tonight, but it looks like those showings of 8% and 7% respectively will be enough to push him past the one million vote mark. As of this moment, Paul has added 60,757 votes to his total... with 15% of the votes still to be counted in each state. Dave Leip’s Atlas of Election Results shows Ron Paul with 990,043 primary votes and another 44,003 caucus votes… well over one million. By the time every vote is counted tonight, Paul will probably top a million primary votes without even considering caucuses in the equation.

Ron Paul, The Revolution, and Ending Abuses and Usurpations

By Michael Scheuer / LewRockwell.com
Congressman Ron Paul’s new book, The Revolution, is an unusual presidential campaign book in that the candidate – Dr. Paul – is almost entirely absent. This is not to say that his presence is not felt; indeed, Dr. Paul is with the reader every step of the way and writes in a clear and very direct style. But the reader will find that Dr. Paul is not offering the audacity of hope or chanting change; he does not argue that it takes a village or having slept with a former president; and he surely does not hold up his military service as a reason why he should be elected. Instead, Dr. Paul politely, laconically, but frankly lays it on the line for his countrymen...

Dr. Paul: Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices

Rep. Ron Paul, MD. / Wire Service
In the past few months, American workers, consumers, and businesses have experienced a sudden and dramatic rise in gasoline prices. In some parts of the country, gasoline costs as much as $4 per gallon. Some politicians claim that the way to reduce gas prices is by expanding the government’s power to regulate prices and control the supply of gasoline. For example, the House of Representatives has even passed legislation subjecting gas stations owners to criminal penalties if they charge more than a federal bureaucrat deems appropriate. Proponents of these measures must have forgotten the 1970s, when government controls on the oil industry resulted in gas lines and shortages. It was only after President Reagan lifted federal price controls that the gas lines disappeared. Instead of imposing further restraints on the market, Congress should consider reforming the federal policies that raise gas prices.

Paul Campaign Never Ended, Spokesman Says

By Garance Franke-Ruta / The Washington Post
As the Democrat presidential candidates held pre-primary rallies yesterday in Indiana and North Carolina, and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain spoke to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, another major-party presidential candidate continued his own quest for nomination, headlining a "Freedom Rally" on a Fort Wayne, Ind., university campus. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) told supporters in early March, through a Web video, that he knew he was no longer in the running for the presidency, and aides said his campaign would be "winding down." But it turns out Paul never stopped running for president.

The Rebel Forces of Paul - Ron Paul

Los Angeles Times
As far as Sen. John McCain is concerned, the Republican presidential nomination is a done deal and he's working on uniting the party behind him. But thousands of Republicans -- particularly supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul -- aren't buying that. In the Pennsylvania primary, more than 215,000 Republicans cast ballots for Paul or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who quit campaigning weeks ago. Together, they captured 27% of the Republican vote. That was tame compared with the uproar last weekend at Nevada's Republican Party Convention. Or before that in Missouri.

But you wouldn't have known it from the road leading to the voting booths at the New Hanover County senior center. Amid the rash of local hopefuls, the national candidate with the most signs last week was Ron Paul, the 72-year-old Republican congressman from Texas who has a snowball's chance in summer of winning his party's nomination.

Underground Legion Insists GOP Has Options

By Mark Bennett / The Tribune Star
TERRE HAUTE, Indiana -- Never mind the math. The frontrunner for the party's presidential nomination may hold an insurmountable lead in delegates won. But the second-place candidate sees no value in quitting the race. Thanks to that tenacity, Indiana voters have a choice in Tuesday's primary - John McCain or Ron Paul. "In Indiana, [the media] still says, 'Three candidates,'" said Melissa Lineberry, Indiana field director for the Paul campaign, "but there are actually four, and people should be told that."

'Hordes of Admirers' To Greet Ron Paul

Thomas Goldsmith / News & Observer
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, still out on the campaign trail, will make two Triangle appearances today and hordes of admirers have signed up to see him. Paul, 72, the iconoclastic Texas Republican, gets less attention these days than he did when he was among a raft of GOP contenders. But organizers say at least 2,000 people have signed up to see him speak at a 3 p.m. event in Chapel Hill and a 6:30 p.m. speech in Durham.

And that was tame compared with the uproar last weekend at Nevada's Republican Party Convention. About 600 well-organized Paul supporters overwhelmed McCain's forces and engineered a rule change that permitted national convention delegates to be nominated from the floor, wresting the task from party leaders.

Ron Paul on 'The Revolution: A Manifesto'

Manifesto Destiny

By Bill Huff / LewRockwell.com
I may not be first, but I predict Ron Paul’s new book The Revolution: A Manifesto will be a runaway best seller. A frightening thing for the other candidates: they haven’t done their homework. They will have nothing to offer at examination time when the American People ask: "What have You written lately – and how does it relate to restoring and protecting our Original Liberties and God-Given Rights?" They can cram if they wish, by reading some of Dr. Paul’s other books. Even if they cannot agree with anything in Dr. Paul’s new book it may be a good idea for all of them to read it very carefully, because we will all have to deal with the principles sooner or later. "Facts are stubborn things," said John Adams.

Ron Paul Nevada Delegates Voted to National Convention before Recess

Ron Paul 2008
RENO, NEVADA -- The Nevada State Republican Convention was called to an abrupt halt on Saturday, after delegates supporting Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul were elected to the 2008 Republican National Convention. Prior to the recess, the John McCain campaign asked for and was not granted a recess to meet with their delegates. In response, Convention Chairman Bob Beers unexpectedly announced that the contract on the convention hall had expired and the convention would be reconvened at some future date. The Ron Paul campaign is confident that the Nevada State Republican Party will ensure that the votes cast by of all of the delegates at the April 26th Nevada State Republican Convention will be respected.

Let's Take The Country By Storm -- Again

By Ron Paul / Ron Paul 2008
Today is an exciting day for our campaign and our movement: my new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, is officially released. Although a short book, it is the product of many years of thought and action. It is a defense of the principles to which you and I have devoted our lives. My friends are calling it "Ron Paul's legacy." These principles - individual liberty, sound money, the Constitution, and the foreign policy of the Founding Fathers - have had no home in American politics for a very long time. With The Revolution: A Manifesto, I'm letting the establishment know we're not going away.

What Ron Paul's Book Accomplishes

Thomas E. Woods, Jr. / LewRockwell.com
The Revolution: A Manifesto, whose official release date is today, accomplishes much more than what you see here. But, for starters, here goes: 1. It gives Ron Paul's movement a statement for the ages. One reason Taft Republicanism died is that Robert Taft left behind no systematic statement of his philosophy around which a continuing effort could cohere. Former Member of Congress Barry Goldwater, Jr., says of the book: "This book takes a wrecking ball to the political establishment. Senator Goldwater would have loved it. It’s The Conscience of a Conservative for the twenty-first century."

Ron Paul Campaign Dominates Convention

By J. Patrick Coolican / Las Vegas Sun
RENO -- Call 2008 the year of the great tumult, the year of the outsiders, the young, the tech-savvy who are changing American politics. Although most of the attention, money and passion lie with the long saga of the Democratic presidential contest, Nevada’s state Republican convention here offered evidence of the ground shifting across the spectrum, with an actual earthquake Friday night serving as an apt symbol. Rep. Ron Paul, a Republican with a libertarian’s heart, followed his second-place finish in Nevada’s January presidential caucus by out-organizing the state’s Republican establishment. In the process, the Paulites embarrassed the campaign of Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
