Ron Paul - John McCain - Barack Obama - US - Iraq - Foreign - Military - Federal - Dollars - Law - Book - 2008 Election - Texas - Arizona - Illinois - "Paul: Not ready to endorse McCain, likes Obama's foreign policy." ... "Having a Republican win the upcoming presidential election is “secondary” for [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Texas Representative Ron] Paul who is more interested in defending the Constitution, having the country go in what he considers the right direction, having a sound currency, and achieving balanced budgets. Paul parts ways with [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona Senator John] McCain over McCain’s support for the Iraq war, his approach to U.S. [United States] foreign policy in the Middle East and his willingness to spend federal dollars to support military operations in Iraq." ... "Instead, Paul favors [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and Illinois Senator] Sen. Barack Obama because of positions on foreign policy. “But that’s doesn’t mean that’s an endorsement,” Paul quickly added." ... "Paul recently released a new book titled “The Revolution: a Manifesto.” “Unfortunately, it is revolutionary to talk about obeying the Constitution,” Paul said of the book’s title." -CNN

"Outnumbered supporters of expected [2008 Election] Republican presidential nominee John McCain faced off Saturday against well-organized Paul supporters." ... ""I've seen factions walk out.

That's only about a third as many as voted in the Democratic primary, but its still a significant GOP [GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican] turnout." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate John] McCain finished with an uninspiring 73 percent of the vote Tuesday." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Ron] Paul got 16 percent." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Mike] Huckabee's non-candidacy took 11 percent." ...

Mike Huckabee - John McCain - Ron Paul - Mitt Romney - Washington_State - Arizona - Arkansas - Texas - Massachusetts - 2008 Election - "Huckabee won't concede state; GOP resuming delegate count." ... "According to the Saturday tally [in Washington State], [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Senator from] Arizona Sen. John McCain won about 26 percent of delegates, [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and] former Arkansas Gov. [Governer] Huckabee won 24 percent, [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Representative from] Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished with 21 percent, and [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and] former Massachusetts Gov. [Governer] Mitt Romney, who has dropped out of the race, got 17 percent." ... "Pastor Joseph Fuiten of Bothell [Washington], who's heading Huckabee's volunteer effort in the state, said three Huckabee supporters in Pierce County [Washington] reported voting irregularities on Saturday." ... "Fuiten said one woman reported that she and a Ron Paul supporter were told that they wouldn't be allowed to run for alternative delegate positions — and that no actual vote was taken at the caucus. Instead, Fuiten said the woman reported that the caucus leaders simply tallied up the sign-in sheets to get the results." ... ""Counting is not so much the issue, so much as it is a concern about disenfranchisement," Fuiten said." ... "Paul's campaign is also not conceding the state." -By Janet I. Tu -SeattleTimes
Mike Huckabee - John McCain - Ron Paul - Kansas - Minnesota - Texas - 2008 Election - "With Huckabees victory in Kansas, voters send McCain a message." ...

John McCain - Mitt Romney - Mike Huckabee - Rudy Giuliani - Ron Paul - Fred Thompson - New Hampshire - 2008 Election - "McCain Stages "Lazarus-Like" Comeback In New Hampshire." ... "While most analysts remain unsure of its effect on the race for the GOP nomination, John McCain's victory in New Hampshire is being hailed as an remarkable comeback for a campaign that had been given up for dead last summer. The Chicago Tribune reports McCain "won with 37 percent compared to 32 percent for Romney, who was forced to re-examine his candidacy, which was premised on winning Iowa and New Hampshire to create a national juggernaut." Mike Huckabee placed 3rd with 11%, followed by Rudy Giuliani, 9%; Ron Paul, 8%; and Fred Thompson, 1%." ... "USA Today reports "political analyst Charles Cook called McCain's victory 'the greatest comeback since Lazarus,'" and "attributes it to 'an enormous vacuum in the Republican Party.'" Using the same metaphor, the New York Times reports McCain "revived his presidential bid with a Lazarus-like victory." The Times adds that "to cheers of 'Mac is back,' Mr. McCain told supporters last night: 'My friends, you know I'm past the age when I can claim the noun "kid," no matter what adjective precedes it. But tonight, we sure showed them what a comeback looks like.'"" -USNews.com

20080108

Ron Paul - Race - Gay - Politics - Media - History - 2008 Election - "Angry White Man: The bigoted past of Ron Paul." ... "[2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate Ron] Paul's newsletters have carried different titles over the years--Ron Paul's Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Survival Report--but they generally seem to have been published on a monthly basis since at least 1978. (Paul, an OB-GYN and former U.S. Air Force surgeon, was first elected to Congress in 1976.) During some periods, the newsletters were published by the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education, a nonprofit Paul founded in 1976; at other times, they were published by Ron Paul & Associates, a now-defunct entity in which Paul owned a minority stake, according to his campaign spokesman. The Freedom Report claimed to have over 100,000 readers in 1984. At one point, Ron Paul & Associates also put out a monthly publication called The Ron Paul Investment Letter." ... "Of course, with few bylines, it is difficult to know whether any particular article was written by Paul himself. Some of the earlier newsletters are signed by him, though the vast majority of the editions I [James Kirchick] saw contain no bylines at all. Complicating matters, many of the unbylined newsletters were written in the first person, implying that Paul was the author." ... "But, whoever actually wrote them, the newsletters I saw all had one thing in common: They were published under a banner containing Paul's name, and the articles (except for one special edition of a newsletter that contained the byline of another writer) seem designed to create the impression that they were written by him--and reflected his views. What they reveal are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays. In short, they suggest that Ron Paul is not the plain-speaking antiwar activist his supporters believe they are backing--but rather a member in good standing of some of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American politics." -By James Kirchick -TNR.com

Ron Paul - Duncan Hunter - Rudolph W Giuliani - Corporate - TV - Politics - Censorship - New Hampshire - Iowa - Texas - California - 2008 Election - "New Hampshire G.O.P. Backs Out of Fox Forum." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Ron Paul raised nearly $20 million in the last quarter, likely more than any of his rivals. He garnered 10 percent of the Republican vote in the Iowa Caucuses, surpassing [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rudolph W. Giuliani. And he’s in New Hampshire this weekend on the airwaves and the campaign trail before the Jan. 8 primary." ... "But the Texas congressman and presidential contender won’t be getting a seat and the table at Sunday’s Fox News Republican candidate forum." ... "On Saturday the New Hampshire Republican party expressed its disappointment with the decision to exclude Mr. Paul and Representative Duncan Hunter of California by severing its partnership with Fox." ... "“We believe that it is inconsistent with the first in the nation primary tradition to be excluding candidates in a pre-primary setting,” said Fergus Cullen, chair of the state G.O.P. [Grand Old Party=Republican] party. “All candidates regardless of how well known they are or how much money they’ve raised should be treated equally here.”" -By Michael Falcone -NYTimes

Dennis Kucinich - Joe Biden - Chris Dodd - Ron Paul - Duncan Hunter - Television - Politics - US - Iraq - Military - 2008 Election - New Hampshire - "FOX, ABC to reduce debate fields." ... "This weekend’s [New Hampshire] presidential debates and forum will not include some nationally-known candidates, and the chairmen of the state Republican and Democratic parties are not happy." ... "Fergus Cullen and Raymond Buckley say the decisions by ABC News, WMUR and, in Cullen’s case, FOX News, are inconsistent with the New Hampshire primary’s tradition of providing a level playing field for all candidates." ... "ABC News and WMUR-TV (Channel 9) confirmed today that they have established performance-based criteria for Saturday night's pair of presidential debates. Those rules could leave several relatively well-known candidates on the outside looking in, including [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidates] Democrats Dennis Kucinich, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd." ... "And Cullen confirmed that FOX News has invited only five presidential candidates to a GOP [GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican] forum scheduled for Sunday night, leaving out [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidates] Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter." ... "GOP candidate Paul has said that FOX News is “scared of me” and has called the network “propagandists for this (Iraq) war, and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative.”" -By John Distaso -UnionLeader.com

Ron Paul - Television - Politics - New Hampshire - Iowa - US - Iraq - Military - 2008 Election - "Paul: Fox News is 'scared of me'." ... "[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Ron Paul said the decision to exclude him from a debate on Fox News Sunday the weekend before the New Hampshire Primary is proof that the network "is scared" of him." ... ""They are scared of me and don't want my message to get out, but it will," Paul said in an interview at a diner here. "They are propagandists for this war and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative."" ... "Paul, the Republican Texas Congressman, was wrapping up his final day of campaigning in New Hampshire until the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday." -By James Pindell -BostonGlobe

John Edwards - Ron Paul - Mike Huckabee - Noteworthy - Journalists - Politics - Corporations - Legislation - Telecom - Money - 2008 Election - "Media hostility toward anti-establishment candidates." ... "[2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate John] Edwards, [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Ron] Paul and [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate Mike] Huckabee are obviously disparate in significant ways -- ideologically, temperamentally, and otherwise. But there is a vital attribute common to those three campaigns that explains the media's scorn: they are all, in their own ways, anti-establishment candidates, meaning they are outside and critical of the system of which national journalists are a critical part, the system which employs and rewards our journalists and forms the base of their identity and outlook. Any candidate who criticizes and opposes that system -- not in piecemeal ways but fundamentally -- will be, first, ignored and, then, treated as losers by the press." ... "It is very striking how little Edwards' substantive critique of our political system has penetrated into the national discourse. That's because the centerpiece of his campaign is a critique that is a full frontal assault on our political establishment. His argument is not merely that the political system needs reform, but that it is corrupt at its core -- "rigged" in favor of large corporate interests and their lobbyists, who literally write our laws and control the Congress. Anyone paying even casual attention to the extraordinary bipartisan effort on behalf of telecom immunity, and so many other issues driven almost exclusively by lobbyists, cannot reasonably dispute this critique." ... "Yet because that argument indicts the same Beltway culture of which our political journalists are an integral part, and further attacks the system's power brokers who are the friends, sources, and peers of those journalists, they instinctively react with confusion, scorn and hostility towards Edwards' campaign. They condescendingly dismiss it as manipulative populist swill, or cynically assume that it's just a ploy to distinguish himself by "moving left." In the eyes of our Beltawy press, the idea that our political system is "rigged" or corrupt must be anything other than true or sincerely held." ... "As Digby notes [**], Ron Paul is going to raise more money than any Republican candidate this quarter; he just topped the record for most money raised in a single day; and has now exceeded Howard Dean's 2004 quarter total when Dean was at the peak of his online fundraising prowess. Huckabee is now tied for the lead in national polls and is leading in several of the key early states. Yet our establishment media stars continue to sneer at these anti-establishment candidates as though they are aberrational jokes, and there is virtually no serious effort to understand the meaning of their success." ... "Worse, whenever these candidates are discussed, it almost never entails any discussion of the critiques they are making. Is Edwards right that corporations and lobbyists dictate legislation in Washington and that this state of affairs is profoundly anti-democratic and corrupt? Are Paul's criticisms of our bipartisan imperial policies and his warnings of resulting financial unsustainability (and increasing anti-Americanism) accurate? Is Huckabee's claim true that the GOP has obliterated the economic prospects of its own middle- and lower-middle-class followers?" -Glenn Greenwald -Salon

Mike Huckabee - Ron Paul - Religion - Ad - Liberty - Book - 2008 Election - "Huckabee admaker calls cross imagery "absolutely accidental;" Paul says "fascism' will be 'carrying a cross'." ... "Asked about Republican rival Mike Huckabee's Christmas-themed ad, which we wrote about yesterday and has attracted attention in part because of the image of a cross that many see hovering over Huckabee's shoulder, GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul said this morning on FOX & Friends that:" ... ""It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said. He says, 'when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.' Now I don't know whether that's a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross, like he is the only Christian or implying that subtly. So, I don't think I would ever use anything like that."" ... "From [Sinclair Lewis's book] It Can't Happen Here: "But he saw too that in America the struggle was befogged by the fact that the worst Fascists were they who disowned the word 'Fascism' and preached enslavement to Capitalism under the style of Constitutional and Traditional Native American Liberty."" -By Mark Memmott -USATODAY

Ron Paul - Mitt Romney - Politics - History - Online - 2008 Election - 2004 Election - "Ron Paul Supporters Make History with $6 Million Online Haul -- Updated." ... "[2008 Election] Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul made history Sunday by raising $6 million in online contributions in 24 hours, breaking the record for the most money raised by a national candidate in a single day, and potentially putting Paul on track to surpass the fourth quarter fund raising of all of his competitors in both parties." ... ""I just think it's extraordinary," says Anthony J. Corrado, a campaign finance expert and professor of government at Colby College in Maine. "In my view, I expect that Ron Paul will raise more money than any other candidate this quarter. At this point, his main competition will be [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] (Mitt) Romney's checkbook."" ... "The $6 million number beats the 2004 [Election] record set by Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, who raised $5.7 million after he gave his nomination speech." -By Sarah Lai Stirland -Wired

Barack Obama - Ron Paul - Illinois - Davenport - Iowa - Law - 2008 Election - Politics - "Yepsen: Parties, candidates must make sure [Iowa] caucuses are clean." ... "Maybe we should call these the Illinois caucuses." ... "Officials and campaigners in both parties are worried that zealous out-of-state staffers and non-Iowa supporters of candidates may try to vote in the [2008 Election] caucuses, thereby skewing the results." ... "On the Republican side, GOP officials are watching precincts in Council Bluffs [Iowa] and Davenport [Iowa] to make certain people aren't driving across the state line to participate. They are particularly concerned about [Republican Presidential Candidate] Ron Paul's over-caffeinated backers." ... "On the Democratic side, [Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama's campaign is telling Iowa college students they can caucus for him even if they aren't from Iowa." ... "However, both laws and practical considerations are in place to help ensure the integrity of the Iowa caucuses:" ... "- Falsely registering to vote is fraud in Iowa. Someone from Illinois who thinks voter fraud is a way of life in that state will find a much different attitude from Iowa prosecutors." ... "- Credibility. It's not going to do Obama or Paul any good to have a showing in Iowa that is tainted. Obama has worked hard in Iowa. He has built an impressive organization and can win this on the legit. He doesn't need to give opposition spinners a way to discredit a victory." -By David Yepsen -DesMoinesRegister

Ron Paul - Tom Tancredo - Duncan Hunter - 2008 Election - Media - Texas - Colorado - California - Iowa - "Iowa GOP inundated by irate calls from Ron Paul fans." ... "The Iowa Republican Party put out an advisory Tuesday setting standards for participation in a Dec. 4 debate it is sponsoring with Fox News. The phone has been ringing off the hook ever since." ... "That's because the sponsors said participants need to average 5% support among Republicans in recent national or Iowa polls -- and so far, Texas [Representative and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Ron Paul is one of the candidates not making the cut." ... "Colorado [Representative and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Tom Tancredo and California [Representative and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Duncan Hunter also fall below the 5% threshold at this point." -USATODAY

Ron Paul - Money - 2008 Election - US - British - Religious - Government - Terrorism - History - "Guy Fawkes Day Helps Raise Millions for Paul." ... "Historians and British schoolchildren remember Guy Fawkes as the Roman Catholic, anti-Protestant rebel who on Nov. 5, 1605, tried to assassinate King James I by blowing up the Parliament. Supporters of the Republican primary campaign of the libertarian Representative Ron Paul may remember Fawkes as a wildly successful fund-raising gimmick." ... "On Monday, a group of Paul supporters helped raised more than $4.07 million in one day — approaching what the campaign raised in the entire last quarter — through a Web site called ThisNovember5th.com, a reference to the day the British commemorate the thwarted bombing." ... "Many fans of Mr. Paul know of the day primarily through a movie based on the futuristic graphic novel “V for Vendetta,” by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, in which a terrorist modeled after Fawkes battles a fascist government that has taken over Britain." -By David D. Kirkpatrick -NYTimes

Dennis Kucinich - Ron Paul - 2008 Election - Poll - Humor - "Colbert Tops Kucinich and Paul in National Poll." ... "Colbert tops GOP [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rep. Ron Paul, 36% to 32%, while he outpaces Democratic [2008 Election Presidential Candidate] Rep. Dennis Kucinich by 37% to Kucinich 32%. In both cases, Rasmussen found, Colbert eats into their "base."" -EditorAndPublisher.com

US - Global - Ron Paul - Criminal - E-Mail - Internet - Hacking - 2008 Election - Politics - Texas - "'Criminal' Botnet Stumps for Ron Paul, Researchers Allege." ... "If Texas congressman [and 2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] Ron Paul is elected president in 2008, he may be the first leader of the free world put into power with the help of a global network of hacked PCs spewing spam, according to computer-security researchers who've analyzed a recent flurry of e-mail supporting the long-shot Republican candidate." ... ""This is clearly a criminal act in support of a campaign, which has been committed with or without their knowledge," says Gary Warner, the University of Alabama at Birmingham's director of research in computer forensics. "The question is, will we see more and more of this, or will this bring shame to the campaigns and will they make clear that this is not a form of acceptable behavior by their supporters?" Warner pointed to provisions of the federal Can-Spam Act." ... "Ron Paul spokesman Jesse Benton says the campaign has no knowledge of the scam. Warner himself says that he has no reason to believe that the Paul campaign had anything to do with these messages." ... "Some participants in the online political world have long suspected Paul's technically sophisticated fan base of manipulating online tools and polls to boost the appearance of a wide base of support. But the UAB analysis is the first to document any internet shenanigans." -By Sarah Lai Stirland -Wired
Ron Paul - Military - Law - History - MA - NC - TX - MD - 2008 Election - "Ron Paul co-sponsoring Constitutional War Powers Resolution." ... "At a press conference last Thursday, [Massachusetts Democratic] Congressmen Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and [North Carolina Republican] Walter Jones (R-NC) announced the introduction of House Joint Resolution 53, the Constitutional War Powers Resolution. Joined by co-sponsors [Texas Republican] Ron Paul (R-TX) and [Maryland Republican] Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD), the resolution attempts to curtail what some believe to be the expanding war powers wielded by presidents since the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin resolution[.]" ... "H. J. Res. 53 looks to modify the 1973 War Powers Resolution, itself a response to President's Nixon assertive stance as commander-in-chief, by requiring Congressional approval for military action that is not a direct result of attack. It also allows for greater oversight by Congress by providing avenues for judicial review and by permitting federal funding for action approved by Congress." ... "Speaking from the House floor on Saturday, Rep. Jones said "our Constitution states that – while the commander-in-chief has the power to conduct wars, only Congress has the power to declare war. Too many times this Congress has not met its constitutional duty of oversight and has abdicated its constitutional authorities to the executive branch."" -KCRG.com
