The mainstream media is perplexed by the large crowds Ron Paul is drawing in Iowa. While he still isn’t on top of the polls, Paul as this report from Officialwire.com confirms, has the enthusiastic support of many in the grassroots.
An Iowa campaign rally by Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul is a decidedly stripped-down affair.
There are few signs, no theme song and a candidate more comfortable discussing a return to the gold standard than glad-handing for votes. His message has largely been ignored for most of his long political career. But it’s now striking a chord with voters angry over federal bank bailouts, government dysfunction and the burgeoning national debt.
The crowd listens quietly. It’s a large one for a GOP presidential race by Iowa standards. The Texas congressman speaks for about 30 minutes, takes questions, smiles for a few photos then disappears behind a door.

Draws a crowd in spite of the media, let’s hope that he can get elected in spite of the media
It will be difficult for Dr. Paul, much of the media has already started their attacks on him while still pushing for Romney.
The big problem is that the GOP wants a “good old boy”, even though they are not conservative, and belong to CFR, therefore will follow the exact same policy’s as Obama!! Shoving us toward New World Order (Total Fascist Police State) which is just about upon us anyway. I’d like to see Bachman get it, but doubt she could withstand the costant CFR trying to force their policy’s on her..I intensly dislike Ron Paul, but believe he is the only one that will allow us to keep our freedoms!! He will be attacked from the GOP as well as the opposition party!! From within and without!! He detests the loss of our freedoms as much as we do! He MUST win or we are done!!
While I don’t dislike Ron Paul, I do disagree with some of his ideas (mostly foreign policy) if we could have Bachmann / Paul as our ticket, I think we could pull out of this nose dive we’re in. These are the two that the GOP leadership hates the most, as you mention “the GOP, wants a good old boy” Bachmann or Paul don’t impress me as the type to play that game, and that is why I feel that these two are the only thing close to being a viable candidate , (in my humble opinion)
Right, and Romney is Now refusing to release his tax records……… Hmmmm seems like we’ve already been down this path
The PROGRESSIVE-LIBERAL- SOCIALIST-DEMOCRATIC Party has chosen Romney. They have informed the media to only elect Romney. They were commanded to only show Romney in a favorible view, no-one else. They hand picked Romney because he is just as PROGRESSIVE- LIBERAL- SOCIALIST as they are. HE WILL NOT REPEAL OBAMACARE, HE HATES GUNS, RAISES TAXES, LOVES THE EPA AND THE ECO-NAZIS. HE IS THE SOCIALIST CHOSEN ONE.
It is such a simple thing; either we cowboy up, work hard to try and keep our freedom or we can Hollywood up and nonchalantly toss it all away by electing the slickest tongue with the best hair do from insider Washington.
At least we aught to try and keep our freedom, the price of obtaining freedom is very high and saving it would be a lot less costly and it would also shed a lot less of our blood.
OK, I agree; Ron Paul does not have the best hair do and he does not speak as eloquently as some and then there are folks that do not understand his foreign policies, as we have become so accustomed to throwing our weight around and screwing over other countries that could just as well have screwed their own selves up, without us spending a few trillion on war toys.
The issue of the day is salvaging our freedom and Ron Paul comes closer to understanding that than any of the others running for office. I’m appalled every time that I hear some politician use the word freedom and then goes back to Washington to pass a bevy of bills that rob the American people of their freedoms and their dreams.
We need to get America using the slogan “To Hell with Everything Else, Let’s Get Our Freedom Back First, Then Worry about Everything Else Latter”. Until we Americans get that frame of mind, nothing else will matter anyway.
Should we fail to stop the progressive onslaught on our freedom this next election, you may very well hear that slogan in the streets, but it will be too late by then and the enemy of freedom will have won and imposed permanent marshal law to the land of the free.
