World's Greatest Ron Paul Videos
Dr. Congressman Ron Paul's supporters took "grass roots politics" to its ultimate, ridiculous extreme. They brought fun to politics -- even if they didn't see the humor -- and the nation's "Mainstream Media" will always be thankful for the Paul fanatics. Over a two-year-long presidential campaign that was always really about Hillary or Obama, the Ron Paul Love Revolution kept things weird.Nobody but the elderly Texas Republican's most ardent Internet followers ever believed Ron Paul had any chance of winning the GOP nomination, let alone the White House. And that's what made the Paulians such a hoot. Like a doomsday cult convinced that Jesus is coming back on a certain day that passes without any such apocalypse, the Paul People were constantly adjusting to the crushing sorrow of reality, but that never stopped them from making hilarious home videos about their hero.
Way back in December, Paul's followers literally believed he was going to win the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary . And then he'd just cruise onward through Super Tuesday to the RNC convention on an unstoppable wave of Paulmentum.
When that didn't happen, the Paulians kept frantically moving the goalposts from one GOP caucus and primary to the next. When he failed to win anything and told his followers he needed to concentrate on keeping his seat in the House of Representatives, they still kept hope alive. When he actually said he was ending his presidential campaign -- in a rambling seven-minute YouTube video posted Thursday -- his followers immediately dreamed up bizarre fantasies in which he magically won the Republican nomination anyway, and of course then won the White House.
Of course none of that was ever going to happen, but the Internet is a richer, stranger place today because of Ron Paul's Internet Brigades. Let's remember together with the Very Best of the GO RON PAUL videos.

This article is about as misleading as the mainstream media is. It's true that Ron Paul has a lot of support on the Internet. It's also true that he not won any primary yet. It's also true that he made a video last Thursday about his campaign winding down. At the same time though, Ron Paul has not dropped out and his true supporters are still behind him 100%. While chances are slim, he can still win. McCain has a lot of dirt that may force him to drop out and if the media gave Paul fair coverage (they'll be forced to if he is only remaining Republican candidate), most Obama and Clinton supporters would switch to Dr. Paul.
Even if Dr. Paul, looses the election, it must be noted that he has made a big difference already in opening the eyes of many Americans; even non-Americans. His devotion to protecting the Constitution, eliminating income tax, preventing the North American Union, securing our borders, preventing Internet tax and more will not be forgotten. This is only the beginning of the revolution; not the end.
This Len Layne character, along with Justine Paulette and David Knowles, should stop writing these highly opinionated articles (with false information) as if they are factual.

I'm 65, but these are really great young people in these Ron Paul videos. It gives me hope for the future, because it is their own future that they have to fight for now. This older generation of moochers has allowed this government to really take Americans for a ride for 50 years now. I remember what it was like to be really free in this country -- private property, individualism, small business. Hang in there, young people, and you will somehow get us back to a law-abiding Constitutional form of government. The Federal Reservist moneychangers, the neocons and socialists and corporate elitists and other tyrants will mock you and ridicule you -- but just remember they are afraid of you because they know they do their evil deeds in the dark and they are afraid one day you will find them out and that day is coming soon. Take advantage of that fear and STAY SMART. Use the political system, and stay away from the fringe that will try to infiltrate in order to destroy your credibility.

June, thank you for your encouraging words of wisdom and hope. I am 30 and the Ron Paul supports from my generation won't give up the good fight.

Ron Paul Said that He was a reluctant Messanger for this powerful message. Ron Paul was just a recognisable yet innefective voice for the message in the 12 day message, Our hope is that grass root politicians will rise up and take the message and run with it.These are the principals this great nation was founded on. Legalize Hemp farming!! Let's start trere.

What's next Ken? Pope Ron Paul II
dan10:30PMMar 8th 2008
Remember what he had to say...Just remember Ron Paul when the house of cards falls. If it never does, so be it...The others and they're supporters are why America is where it is at. The masses will all complain about their choice soon enough...
The whole division and folly of politics in America is laughable any way ya slice it.
What on earth makes any of the others a better candidate?? Honestly...
MajKarma11:53PMMar 8th 2008
As far as I am concerned Ron Paul failed us. I gave him all the money I could, bumper stickers, stood up for him..did all I could but he's weak, a little short pep-squeek who surrounded himself with a bunch of Guppies. We are screwed. He should have raised hell and high water when the media shoved him to the side but instead, he has rolled over to hold on to his congressional seat so we can hear him squeek out the truth as they murder us and this country. Why don't we ever get the John Wayne or Ronald Reagan types on our side?
matt3:20AMMar 9th 2008
I will be voting for ron paul in november
I will check his name on the ballot or I will write his name on the ballot
I will go to my grave knowing that I voted for a true statesmen in 2008
This is just the beginning, go to libertywarchest dot com or paulcongress dot com or breakthematrix dot com
Once half of 535 seats is filled with americans that care about america and not corporate dollars, policing the world, pooping on what our country stands for.....that's when the revolution really starts

Give us Ron Paul or give us death of our United States as that is the way it's headed if we, the AMERICAN PEOPLE don't take the reins.......
punkpunkbaby6:44PMMar 9th 2008
In the eyes of many I'm sure that the Ron Paul supporters are viewed as "fanatics". Much as were the founding fathers of this nation, Washington, Franklin, Madison, and Jefferson at the time of the revolution which established this once great, prosperus, and free nation.
Those "ridiculous" men through thier grassroots political beliefs gave us a "revolution" which created the "Constitution of the United States of America"!
Read the history of this nation.
Read the "Constitution".
The "Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land".
All "Public Servants" (Politicians, and officers of all Federal, and State agencies) are required to "swear to uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic".
The document which they take an "Oath" to defend is very simple. It was written to "Limit" the powers of the government (the representatives of the People); and "Protect" the "Rights" of the people!
The "Constitution" created three separate branches of the government which were clearly defined, "Executive" , "Legislative" ,and "Judicial". The "Constitution" clearly sets forth the responsibilities, and limitations of those separate branches of government.
Obviously it is humorous,and requiring the mentality of a "fanatic" to expect those that are elected to public office to respect and honor the "Oath" which they have freely sworn to the "Constitution".
The Main Stream Media must have found it very humorous that there was a candidate for the Prsidency that had dared to stand in front of the Congress and remind them that they did not have the right to give the President the power to "Declare War".
It was the Constitutional responsibility of Congress to Declare War!
He was told, that requirement of the Constitution was anachronistic (outdated)....
Congressman Paul voted against the authority to grant the President the power to declare war.
To have done otherwise would have been in violation of the Constitution.
The Constitution guarantees the People the right to Habeas Corpus (freedom from warrantless searches, seizures and arrests).
The Patriot Act has nullified Habeas Corpus.
Congressman Paul voted against the Patriot Act.
To have done otherwise would have been in violation of the Constitution !
As we watch the value of our currency being debased,and the nation falling into financial chaos keep in mind that the Constitution requires "Congress" to coin the currency, and set the value thereof. One more function required of the Congress which they sidestepped by creating the "Federal Reserve" (which is a private corporation).
A message of "Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom" brought to the campaign for the Presidency by a man of principle, and integrity is ridiculous !
Just imagine what it would mean to have someone in the White House who wants to return to the Constitution?
Imagine not being at war, and not having military bases in over 170 countries ?
Imagine our nation secured by having our national defense as the primary consideration of government?
Imagine our nation being fiscally responsable, with a balanced budget ?
How could these things be accomplished ?
Go to www.Ron Paul 2008 and click on issues. It's clearly stated, the issue, and the solution !
At no point has Congressman Ron Paul stated that he has, or is ending his run for the Presidency !
Maybe you should watch and listen to the address to his supporters again.
He said he was "scaling back" the campaign, but would continue as long as his supporters wanted him in the race .
READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT OUR MONEY SYSTEM... HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!8:10AMMar 10th 2008
NoLies9:42AMMar 10th 2008
This article was written and published by those who do NOT value their journalistic integrity or credibility. Even using weasel words like "hinting" is a perversion of the truth. The Ron Paul campaign continues on to the next primary and all the neocon wishful thinking in the world is not going to make Ron Paul or his supporters go away any time soon. In fact, we are just getting started. I will write Ron Paul in on the final ballot, if necessary, rather give in to the other non-choices being presented by both parties. In the future, please refrain from spreading lies and passing them off as truths. It doesn't become this publication or its authors.

Ron Paul Lives!!!!!
Wake up America!!!
Julia12:12AMMar 11th 2008
This is a sad piece of "journalism". The name-calling, bullying, "they're not like us, let's make fun of them" mentality is unsettling and I fail to see the humor in it. Ken Layne's "Outrage" belongs back in junior high. Not only is this piece misleading (Ron Paul has not ended his campaign) it is insulting. It's never a good idea to sneeringly label a group of people, Mr Layne. Ron Paul supporters are a diverse lot, as I expect can be said of any of the candidate's supporters. If you took the time, I should think you could find comparable videos in support of Obama, Clinton or McCain. I am a middle- aged mother and school teacher who managed to come through college with a 4.0 average. I've had a job since I was sixteen. I am the least "cult-like" person one could imagine. I have never made a home video for the internet and yet I am a "Paulian"? Oh dear. The fact remains that Ron Paul has ignited a spirit of patriotism and activism that has been sadly absent from American politics for many years. Perhaps many of us saw a ray of hope that, with Ron Paul as president, America might actually return to it's foundational principles and become strong and respectable once again. But, alas, that seems not to be. Too many Americans are willing to be led by the media and are unwilling to take the time and effort to read and research for themselves. It is much easier, I guess, to be part of the mainstream crowd. For those of us who really haven't done our own homework on the candidates, I would challenge every Obama, Clinton, Paul or McCain supporter to take an honest look at their favorite and compare him or her to the others. Put aside what people like Mr Layne are telling you and judge for yourselves. You may find that you are indeed comfortable with your choice, but perhaps not. Whatever your decision, let it be your decision. Step away from the "cool kids" table in the junior high lunch room for a minute and think for yourselves. I'll bet you'll find it refreshing.

Is it so funny or extreme to realise that YOU and all of your ridiculers of the Paulites have LOST HALF OF YOUR WEALTH, SAVINGS, and SALARY in the last 5 years. Is not so funny NOW is it. You have the same amount of dollars but they are only worth HALF of what they were worth just a few years ago. The MSM wont write about that and all of those McCain, Clinton and Obama Supporters wont write about it either. Gas and Food isnt so high because suddenly the demand has DOUBLED or TRIPLED but because of our FAKE money system the value of our labor and wealth has dissapated into thin air. So keep joking about Ron Paul while whisteling you way to the poorhouse.

That was too good, Ken. Couldn't decide which video was best, so I went with the Carl Cameron one. I always thought Cameron was something of a buffoon - little did I know he was also a demon!
And I hope the scary "beast" girl does not live in my city.
