the Republican field, though he has no corporate sponsors. All of the money Dr. Paul's campaign has raised is from individual citizens, yet the Mainstream Media has virtually ignored him since the beginning, only mentioning his name in order to jeer him, or distort his record.

What does this mean? Well, from the standpoint of an informed onlooker I have my own opinions, but I was curious, so I decided to investigate just who this Ron Paul is. What I found was really surprising. Dr. Paul is a ten term Congressman from Texas who has never voted to raise taxes, never voted for a congressional pay raise, never voted for to increase spending, never taken a paid congressional junket, never taken money from lobbyists, voted against the War, the Patriot Act, and the Military Commissions Act. This has earned him the Congressional nickname of Dr. No. He believes in restoring the Constitution, strong money, small government, and low taxes. Strangely enough, Congressman Paul believes that the wages of the American people should go into their own pockets instead of to the government, and is of the opinion that the amount of government waste can be dealt with by eliminating agencies that the nation can do without, allowing the people to live as the Founding Fathers had intended. And he is the only candidate who has vowed to bring all of our troops home immediately, instead of leaving them in the desert to die for corporate America's oil war.

Well, that's just wrong! Corporate America can't have government working in the best interests of the people! That's just crazy! If the people had low taxes and sound money they would be able to get out of debt. If that were to happen then the economy might just turn around and allow for more competition in the marketplace, taking money out of the pockets of corporate America. The power of corporate lobbyists would plunge into the gutter, forcing the mega-conglomerates to actually follow the law (imagine that). We can't let that happen, otherwise the people of America might finally understand that the Democracy they thought they lived in had been replaced by the Corporate Oligarchy the elite enjoy today. No. We can't let that happen.
