Will Ron Paul win against Mitt Romney in Nebraska? No more insanity!

Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul

With his concrete plans to cut government waste and audit the Federal Reserve Bank, Ron Paul didn't seem destined to lead a freedom movement. With a goal to cut $1 trillion in spending during his first year by eliminating five Cabinet departments (Commerce, Energy, HUD, Interior, and Education) as Commander-in-Chief, it didn't look possible on paper. Nor did any of his plans to abolish the TSA, end corporate subsidies, stop foreign wars and aid, look like something that may catch on. But catch on it did!

Dr. Paul's message set both young and old ablaze with a new spirit and vision of a bright future that surely will not die out anytime soon--no matter how hard the establishment tries to smother the flames. Speaking of a white heat, Ron Paul's crusade may rise BIG this Saturday in Nebraska when his revolution could take its fifth state (according to the mainstream media) or his seventh state (according to his supporters) by gathering the majority of delegates in Grand Island. Which will truly be a day of victory for the Campaign for Liberty movement and could cause even a stronger wildfire going into Tampa.

It is getting a bit humid in the GOP camps just thinking about what could transpire in the Cornhusker state. Feeling all hot and bothered, Jordan McGrain, Nebraska GOP Executive Director, communicated that he has actually hired security (first time ever) for the July 14 convention. The proactive McGrain hopes to ensure the safety of all the delegate hopefuls in the Mitt Romney and Ron Paul arena, since it has been reported shouting matches and a bit of police action took place that was, well, quite out-of-control, to put it lightly, according to a Reason.com article with a headline that sums up the event: The Ron Paul War Over Nebraska Delegates: Paul's Last Stand with the GOP?

But, really does Ron Paul need to wait to become president to make a difference? I personally believe that Ron Paul is an American hero who will go down in the history books. One day we'll be telling our children's children about this great man, who incidently is busy working on a plan to get a vote in the House to audit the Federal Reserve. What a day that will be for the American people, with mouths dropped open, to wake up to the realities of our immoral, dishonest and unconstitutional central bank that prints money out of thin air. It is not a dream, there is corruption all around this country which is the very reason we are living in such dismal economic times.

We don't need to be doomsday preppers who fill our pantries with food that will last us for years because we don't know what tomorrow brings; we don't need to arm ourselves to keep our families safe from looting and danger that could come if times get tougher, do we? No need to only keep our eyes on Nebraska, America--lets open our eyes, ears, and minds to what is going on all around us every day. Don't say, "I hate politics." Learn, grow, and do something. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Who can we vote for that will fit that definition? Obamaney? No more insanity! Lets be a part of restoring America, a chance to be a part of the solution. May we choose wisely, may we get busy-- may we choose freedom, America!

Great report Steph... Ron Paul all the way!

Thanks Hardy! May the liberty bell ring loud!

The media is wrong yet again. Nebraska would be the seventh state to award a plurality of delegates to Ron Paul, not the fifth. His name will be entered for nomination in Tampa regardless of what happens Saturday.
Reply By StewartLittle StewartLittle | 10 months ago
According to Ron Paul's Senior Campaign Adviser Doug Wead in an interview with Kurt Wallace of Ron Paul Radio this July 1, Paul only has a plurality of 4 states. Are you suggesting Mr. Wead lacks credibility? That he is lying to Ron Paul supporters, since, it was clearly not the MSM his comments where directed to but the supporters themselves?
Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
Thanks again Mr. Little, your down ratings, critiques, and tips on how to be a better writer are always embraced. Thanks for always making sure my writing, reporting, and researching improves.
Reply By StewartLittle StewartLittle | 10 months ago
I'd suggest spending more time following what the actual campaign team is saying than what supporters are blogging about. For example there is this quote today from Senior adviser Doug Wead off his personal blog:
"Doug Wead says:
July 12, 2012 at 7:41 pm

Hmmm. Well, I hate to say this but we really have what the Romney controlled convention will say that we have. If they control the credentials committee they can keep some of our people out and they have shown at the state level that they have the will to do that."

Thanks Matthew for setting it straight.

Says the writer whose story lacks credibility. If you had thoroughly researched the subject instead of citing info from blogs you would know that Nebraska GOP Chairman Mark Fahleson and Laura Ebke, chairwoman of the Tea Party/Paul-supporting Republican Liberty Caucus (who posted on Daily Paul trying to raise delegate funds) came to an agreement yesterday in an effort to keep the state Republican convention civil and cordial that requires the party to scale back the increased security it had planned. But of course you are in the business of creating propaganda, so credibility matters very little.

BTW here is the link for Mr. Wead's interview with Kurt Wallace:

Glad you enjoyed it Stewart Little. I know it is good when the haters come out.

I dont agree with everything Ron Paul stands for but he would make a better president than Mitt Romney and his Swiss bank accounts.
Reply By firesisle Hardy Wright | 10 months ago
You do understand that Swiss Bank accounts are now also in the realm of the IRS, right? Laws have changed significantly. All moneys in foreign accounts must be reported; all money made abroad by US citizens is taxed. You can't beat the IRS with Swiss accounts anymore... except in the movies.

Ron Paul is the only candidate willing to stand up for our soldiers and the common people. The neo-cons want to start more wars bankrupt our country morally and financially. The war racket



‎"War is a racket" Smedley Butler, decorated Marine.

Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

I NEVER WAS AN OLD TIME REPUBLICAN, BUT I AGREE W/YOUR POINT. DOGMA HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TOOL OF MILITARY. IF YOU EVER ASK "WHY", YOU AREN'T "FIT" TO BE MILITARY. I ASKED VIETNAMESE "WHY", ALL THEY WANTED, THE PEOPLE THAT IS, WAS FREEDOM TO RUN THEIR LIVES PRODUCTIVELY. DEMOCRACY BEST SUPPLIES THIS. BUT I KNOW THERE WERE OTHER REASONS POLITICIANS WANTED IN THERE, & IT WAS MONEY.
GOVERNMENTS TEND TO FORGET PEOPLE LIKE YOU "OLDTIMER", THOSE WHO "KNOW" WHAT WENT ON WHEN IT HAPPENED. THESE THINGS AREN'T TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS, THE INSIDIOUS THINGS OUR GOVERNMENT DID FOR IT'S OWN GAIN, THAT WASN'T ALWAYS FOR THE GENERAL POPULACES WELL-BEING. LONG AGO I BECAME DISILLUSIONED WHEN THE COVER UP OVER JFK HAPPENED. I RECOGNIZED WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WOULD NEVER BE TOLD TRUTHFULLY & THAT MOST POLITICIANS WERE LIARS. I STILL FEEL THAT WAY TODAY BECAUSE IT SHOWS UP WAY TO OFTEN, THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.......;P

What a great speech, OldtimeRepublican. If only the American public will stop being sheeple and wake up to the truth. It reminds me of my son who did his 4 years in the Marines and came out saying how corrupt it is. He was sick at what he saw in the Corps and came out a STRONG Ron Paul supporter. He's written some great articles here about Ron Paul under the pen name USMCGordonce.
Reply By OldtimeRepublican OldtimeRepublican | 10 months ago
Not my speech, but that of one of the most highly respected soldiers. It is a shame that the commander in chief has not respected the troops and their families. I just ordered the book by General Butler, "War is a Racket." May be required reading for our students if we are to change the direction of our misguided country.
Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
There is some great YouTube vids that sound similar to that book title. They are very eye-opening.

Thank you sir! Yes Dartaz, whoever that secret OldtimeRepublican person is, I like their contributions immensely!

Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
Rosco1776, you are so very right. I believe some of the most politically informed Americans are Ron Paul supporters!

Great article as always Stephanie. As to why Mr. Weade is reporting that we only have 4 States that HONEST RON has Plurality in we have no idea. Maybe so we don't relax in Nebraska or let our guards down.

We suggested it might be a good idea to get Body Guards for the NE Delegates but guess nobody thinks we need them. Still think it would be a good idea to hold a Money Bomb and raise funds for Security!!

HONEST RON FOREVER

Liberty For All & All For Liberty,
Freedom4America
Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
Freedom4America, oh how I love your thinking. Honest Ron is so true. When will the majority wake up and see the truth?

I hope that he does disrupt the GOP Convention and that he obtains enough delegates so that it allows for him to give a speech in Tampa.
Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
That would be an amazing day Adrian! The floor will be packed with freedom fighters all chanting "President Paul."
Reply By firesisle Hardy Wright | 10 months ago
He will disrupt the GOP Convention; if Romney doesn't get it on the first vote, Ron Paul is our candidate. Wait and see...
Reply By StephEaly Stephanie Ealy | 10 months ago
Ron Paul or noone at all! That is how I see it Hardy!
Posted By laddieboy laddieboy | 10 months ago
I've been pushing Ron Paul for over 2 yrs...he may sound radical to some, but it's time we cleaned house...more of the same will destroy this country, look at where our leaders(sic)have lead us so far... it isn't just Obama, I'd run it back to Nixon or farther...& it is both sides, insurgents planted to destroy our way of life.... Khrushchev & Mao both said they would destroy us from within with our greed, they've kept their promise better than any past President..............;p
