"Maybe you've heard rumors about an explosive newspaper expose on a major political figure that would rock the political world just as the presidential voting is about to begin.
We haven't either.
But we do know that today is when this newspaper blows the top off of the Ron Paul Conspiracy, that vast unorganized protest movement that has silently become one of the more interesting political phenomena of the current election season.
A Times reporter -- we'll call him James Rainey to protect his identity -- has managed to penetrate the Paul presidium.
In his story he recounts for the very first time the shockingly ordinary details of a movement of thousands of disparate, dissatisfied people, some of whom want an end to the Iraq war, an end to gun controls and the IRS, an end to laws banning marijuana and a return to the gold standard, whatever that means.
These Paulites believe the government has been hijacked by a bevy of big interests that threaten the freedoms of ordinary Americans. They're not going to take it anymore. Locally, they're even organizing a re-enactment of a brazenly defiant act, the BostonTea Party, except it'll be in Santa Monica and won't involve tea or white people dressed as Indians. And the protestors promise not to leave anything foreign floating in the water....
"Rainey's" account describes how this man's followers appear to be ordinary citizens with jobs and family by day. But at night they gather openly in chat rooms and living rooms to plot how to promote a tiny unassuming man whom they call reverently Dr. Paul. With little central direction but tons of commitment, idealism and passion, Dr. Paul's followers do everything they can think of to mobilize voter support.They patrol the internet day and night seeking Paul slights to right. They stand on windy interstate bridges holding inflammatory signs saying: RonPaul2008.com.
Even as you sleep at night some of the 1,200 Paul meet-up groups are handwriting letters to all 700,000 independent Iowa voters urging them to consider their long-shot leader. A couple of weeks ago Paulites raised $4.2 million on the internet in one day, a near-record, and a sum they intend to more than double on Dec. 16, the anniversary of that rebellious tea party. How's that for insignificance?
As one result, the ultra-lean Paul organization has been able to buy advertising in New Hampshire and to pump its poll numbers up near double-digits in some places. Rainey's story describes the commitment of one Ron Paul meet-up group in Southern California and the regular folks who drive it with their political beliefs and energies.
Few professionals -- well, to tell the truth, no one -- actually gives Paul any chance of winning the Republican nomination. But then up until Yorktown back in the 1700s, all the smart Vegas money was on the British."
If it is a free and fair election, Ron Paul wins in a blow-out!
The MSM is catching the scent through their wafting fart mist, too!!!!!
"Media Getting Wind of Ron Paul Blimp"

It was bound to happen. The mainstream media are starting to get wind of the Ron Paul Blimp. Yes, you read that correctly -- a blimp. In case you have been hiding under an Internet boulder, Ron Paul's wildly creative and resourceful supporters have been up to their old tricks again, much to the dismay of leftists around the country. I'm sure the neocons at Redstate will have their fun with this one, too -- they surely miss the traffic now that they've banned Ron Paul supporters from posting anything about the candidate on their blogs. Ron Paul? Das ist verboten! But back to the dirigible: a blimp is born, and his name is Who is Ron Paul?
The Los Angeles Times published a piece today called "Foot Soldiers for the Ron Paul Revolution." Yes, you read that correctly: the L.A. Times actually referred to the revolution as just that, a revolution. In the article they mention the Ron Paul Blimp as part of a laundry list of decentralized campaign achievements at the grassroots level: "One Colorado backer quickly raised more than $350,000 online this week, with a plan to launch a Ron Paul blimp."
Who in the old media will be next to discover the airborne Paulmobile? We'll be waiting...

But will the MSM accurately report his words?
"Follow the Words of Paul"

At the recent CNN/YouTube Republican debate, a question was asked of the candidates: Would Jesus use the death penalty? Mike Huckabee cleverly dodged the question by stating that Jesus is not a politician. After all Huckabee, who does support the death penalty, is a Baptist minister who ceaselessly touts his devotion to Jesus’ teachings. Yet any Christian who has bothered to read any of Jesus’ word would realize that Jesus would not support the death penalty. I am sure we are all glad, as Huckabee pointed out, that Jesus is not a politician because chicken-hawks, such as Huckabee, probably would not vote for him.
To prove this point I decided to check my Bible for Jesus’ views on war, and aggression. Everyone knows what I found, so I will not bore readers with passages of scripture proving unequivocally that Jesus was against aggressive warfare and very pro-peace. Clearly he would be a cut-and-run candidate unworthy of any of the neocon Republican establishment’s support.
However, I found something else that was very interesting. It was in the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians from the New Living Translation. Paul wrote that "We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments." 2 Cor.10:3–4.
Does this sound like something Huckabee would endorse? Does it sound like something any of the Republican candidates would endorse? The only one I can think of is a man also named Paul. Ron Paul. Here are some quotes from Ron Paul.
"Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms."
"Logic tells us that we can make a better world in a much easier way than causing wars."
"We need to talk to people, trade with people, not go to war with them."
We should take the advice of both Pauls when dealing with foreign policy. We should set a good example at home, and spread our ideals of freedom through peaceful means, not bombs falling from the sky. None of the other Republican candidates endorse this view. Even Huckabee who, like President Bush, wears his faith on his sleeve to make sure everyone knows that he is a Christian.
The Apostle Paul mentioned this type of men in his letter as well. He wrote "Oh don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard measurement. How ignorant!" 2 Cor. 10:12.
At the debate Huckabee stated that the Bible was the living Word of God. Maybe its time he re-read God’s Word.
