More from the national front, and a strong Ron Paul showing out west
CNN is reporting that John McCain has won Missouri.
An interesting figure from the Montana GOP race: While Mitt Romney was the winner there, Ron Paul took a big chunk of the vote — 25 percent, good enough for second place.
He didn’t fare as well here — 3.35 percent, according to the state Election Board. But he obviously struck a cord with Montana GOP voters.

Ron Paul, the Libertarian candidate, has a small, but very hard core following. He can do well in states like Montana where the numbers are smaller and the populace is, well; there is a reason why so many militia types go there.
However, he is caught in his own ideology. We are not a nation of ideologues. Bush, the lesser, is the closest we have gotten to an ideologue and that’s as close as I hope we ever get.
Ron Paul is the ONLY constitutional candidate. The power mongers made sure he didn’t get an ounce of coverage until now when it’s too late. Ron Paul is the ONLY hope for America. Consider the following:
Communist Facts: Lenin stated that the establishment of a central bank, which we call the FRB, was ninety percent of communizing a country. Communist Manifesto goals are:
1) The elimination of all right to private property. (Supreme Court : Kelo vs. New England)
2) The dissolution of the family unit. (Parents no longer have control of kids)
3) Destruction of religion. (ACLU)
I’m very disappointed Ron Paul didn’t do well. I feel as if I spent the last year fighting McCain on immigration issues to where I can’t stand to see his face. Being conservative, I can’t vote for Hillary or Hussein. I just don’t know what to do – there just isn’t a good choice – make that, there isn’t even a fair choice.
Thanks for publishing a little piece about Ron Paul. It’s sad when i see more of his signs around town than anyone else and he only get 3.35 %. Because of his lack of media coverage, alot of people werent familiar when his messege. It’s a terrible thing that most people wont even really research there canidate, Because if they did they would inderstand Dr. Paul is the only choice for our country, if we want to really fix any of our problems.
