Cheers for Ron Paul in'08!

Travis | 4:08 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Wow! We never got soo much attention before. Must be because Mitt is in the race. Or the February primary. Either way it is finally nice to be noticed.

Ron Paul for Pres | 7:24 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

The only candidate we can count on to uphold the Constitution.

Ron Paul is the voice of the constitution. It is too bad that few understand the document.

Bubba | 8:10 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Its About Time We Got Someone In The Presidential Race , Who Is For The People Of The Usa, And is Not A Yes Person And Has some Back Bone.

Attire for the Bilary event will be pink and plain paper bags of money. Ron Paul?? Libertarians are quaint until they have to live in a socialist country.

doug | 8:29 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul is the ONLY Presidential candidate who knows, understands and seeks to follow the Constitution. The others only know its name, but not the principles of the Constitution.

trogdor | 8:31 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Go Ron Paul! He is the only politician I have ever felt inclined to donate money. He is the true Republican.

Jack D. | 8:48 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

And the subtle censorship continues. Notice the big blurry photo of Hillary and the thumbnail of Ron Paul.

I feel that if you think America is a Democracy, you are too stupid to vote.
If you think the Federal Reserve is Federal, you are too stupid to vote.
If you haven't familiarized your self with the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, you are too stupid to vote.
If your candidate is a member of the CFR, you are too stupid to vote.
If you are not familiar with the Grace commission report, you are too stupid to vote.

America suffers because of ignorant people voting for the wrong people.(usually people with a lot of charisma) Do your homework and end this madness. It may be your God given right to be stupid but it's your responsibility as an American to make sure you vote for the correct people and not just because they are the same skin color, same religion or are the star of your favorite TV show. It is this weak human instinct that causes us to vote for the wrong people. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!

Mrs. President! | 8:49 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

We need to step up and help Hilary get elected! There is a big hole in her war chest now that all of the illegal contributions from hostile foreign governments have been returned.

Step up to the plate Utahns!

Give it up | 9:15 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Give it up Ron Paul. You don't have a chance.
Give it up Bubba. Your typing hurts my eyes.

John | 9:22 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Why wouldn't we vote for someone who wants to limit Government Power over the people and put Government in its proper role? The Governement should be held accountable to us, not the other way around. Go Ron Paul!

Nate Daniels | 9:34 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

It's funny how the media latches onto Romney as though he were the guaranteed winner in Utah. I have yet to meet someone who is actually voting for him. Just because he's raised a lot of money from some wealthy individuals doesn't mean a majority. I think a majority of voters in Utah still beleive in the true definition of conservative which is for small government. Ron Paul is the candidate to watch.

Robert Johnson | 9:38 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul supporters, please step up to the plate and donate!!! All the other candidates are financed by corporations and lobbyists. Ron Paul is financed by the people because he is for the people. Register republican and vote for himn in the primaries. Get your friends to register. Together we can win our country back!

Anonymous | 10:55 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Why are Constitutional principles so unpopular with media? Isn't it obvious that no other candidate has the support of the people as much as Ron Paul? He won the last republican debate with 33%. This is in spite of the media machine attempting to squelch him with dishonest tactics like falsely attributing his winning to "Paulites" skewing the polls through multiple voting. Pure fiction. Rubbish.

Folks, our country needs us to step up and take responsibility for it. I don't want more innocent blood on my hands because I failed to do all I could to help restore this republic. Come to the rally and show that you care about the future of this nation. Only we the people can take our country back. That includes YOU!

Truthseeds | 11:19 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul can save this country. He is the only candidate speaking the TRUTH! As Jack D. said, do your homework before you vote folks! I was drawn to the Ron Paul message and have jumped on board and am trying to spread the message of hope! I have never cared so much about the direction of this country or the patriotism of people like Ron Paul. I have learned so much since researching the Ron Paul message. While I don't agree with everything and have never voted Republican, I've changed my voter registration to Republican to vote in the primaries for Dr. Paul. I feel deeply that this election will alter history, for better or worse. All the other front runners are CFR members. No other candidate dares discuss cutting the diabolical umbilical of the banking elite by eliminating the Federal Reserve, or eliminating the IRS and the illegal income tax. Ron Paul represents a revolution and true change for the PEOPLE of this America by limiting the draconian powers of the Federal Government. Is it any wonder that the people of the military support Dr. Paul more than any other candidate. Overcome the conditioning! Overcome the fascism! I urge everybody to hear his message. Attend the rally and support Liberty!

SH | 11:40 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

One thing is for sure, this country will take a far steeper slide downhill if they are ever dumb enough to elect Hilary Clinton!

Anon | 11:45 a.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Interesting that two earlier comments I made about not donating to Hillary Clinton and that electing her would be a big mistake have not been posted. Seeing as she is coming to Utah and looking for donations, I would think that my comments were directly on topic!

Mr X | 1:51 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul is really great. Check him out on youtube. He was great in the Republican Fox Debate. He supports our right to own guns. He supports our right to hear about the benefits of vitamins which the FDA is trying to sensor and he supports our right to buy vitamins if we chose to do so. When Bill Clinton first took office he was talking about making them Rx only just like Canada. This could happen under CAFTA.

Spanish Fork | 2:44 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

You would have to pay me to eat dinner with either of these two. A liberal and a libertarian, they are both too far out for me. Even though Paul is now a Republican, remember he ran for president as a libertarian. Libertarians and Democrats are both open border advocates.(see their platform) As for me I am a fan of Hunter and Tancredo, proven illegal immigration opponents, who have almost as much chance as Ron Paul of getting the nomination. Now Clinton that is another matter. There is no good choice among the democrats.

GVS | 2:46 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

What is going on here? Presidential hopefuls very seldom come to Utah. Could it be that they saw the easy money Romney got here and would like a piece of the action?

FHH | 5:09 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul is a constitutionalist. You know that document that is suppose to keep your government in line, the one they ignore?
Voting for anyone but Ron Paul is voting to put 50 Trillion dollars of debt on the heads of your children. Can you tell them why you didn't know this is wrong?

John Michael | 5:18 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

I couldn't vote for Ron Paul because he has two first names. That's too confusing. Is it President Ron or President Paul?

CAL | 5:24 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

It's easier to vote for Ron Paul than Mitty.

DAG | 5:27 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

John, If you know the difference between President Ron or President Paul, you're too stupid to vote.

Glenn | 6:53 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Take a look at the comments and tally the support. Ron has a following and there is good reason for it. Understand that if we resolve our only major problem in this country (remove the fed reserve, implement out own currency) all other smoke screen issues (abortion, environmental, immigration, etc.) are all minor and will not matter. Inform yourself. Welcome to the 2007 where the information you seek can be found. you can find the factual information, you can get the opposing view and conclude your own opinion. No more relying on MSM, TV, or any other traditional mainstream media that shoves it down your throat what they want you to know. Yes, it is right here, at your fingertips and yes, you can finally draw your own opinion if you like. Or you can continue to have the opinion of your religious leader, your in-denial gay senator, Bill O'Reilly, or some other talking head jerk on TV or the radio. Research, find, and read your US and world history on economics. When you understand why Ron Paul is adamant about removing the Fed Reserve you can consider yourself informed.

Ron Paul for Pres | 7:58 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Ron Paul is the last hope for America. We will all persecuted into oblivion if he doesn't win. Ron Paul will either win, or America will continue to crumble into dust.

RON PAUL, 2008. The ONLY choice.

Gary | 9:51 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

Pro life, pro self defense, pro peace, pro free market, pro individual responsibilty, pro constitution. What is there to not like about Ron Paul?

Poppy | 10:24 p.m. Sept. 12, 2007

I think people can get the wrong idea about what Ron Paul supports when people just say free trade. People need to go look at the ronpaul2008 page and see what it says under issues.

Under American Independence and Sovereignty it says "So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation."

This is the opposite of open borders.

Renae | 10:01 a.m. Sept. 13, 2007

May Ron Paul win or we can kiss our country goodbye. By the way, this is the only message I've written before.

Philip Haddad | 9:08 p.m. Sept. 13, 2007

A shame Hillary's picture was so much bigger than Dr. Ron Paul's. He is the one Republican that can beat her.

He has been a doctor, and can beat her health care position. He was served in the military and has a much better position than her. Oh yeah, he also believes in freedom which all Americans support.

When it is all said and done, Paul is the only candidate that actually follows his oath of office and can restore honor to our lost government. I

If there is no oath followed, there is no foundation.

Observe the flip flopping front runners of both major parties.

Poppy | 11:35 p.m. Sept. 13, 2007

NH | 12:21 a.m. Sept. 14, 2007

Hillary, Mitt, Rudy, doesn't matter, we're all going to be in trouble because they are all the same.

Why are people wanting out of the UN but don't have the guts to vote for someone who'll really do it?

There is a media imposed disconnect here.

FURB | 12:17 a.m. Sept. 17, 2007

Do you believe that the U.S. Constitution IS the law, and that all other federal mandates and actions are a cancer upon our once free nation? If so, you should vote for RON PAUL!
