“I can tell you that both Ron and Rand will have an important role in the convention and their supporters and ideals will be well represented,” said Jesse Benton, who managed Ron Paul’s presidential campaign.

WASHINGTONPOST.COM reports:
An initial list of GOP convention speakers doesn’t include either Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) or his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)

First of all you are wrong!

I took a screen shot of the headline I answered

(click to enlarge)

Ron Paul is not a "Former Candidate" unless you are referring to the Republican party's grave mistake of election 2008.

Ron Paul is currently a presidential candidate for election 2012. The only problem we have as a country is letting the main stream media elect our leaders for us.

Why did they "black out" the "Campaign for Liberty" when they were clearly gaining more support than douche bag Romney?

You didn't see this on TV did you?

You didn't see this either.

I hope Ron Paul pulls off a coup at the convention. Romney and Obama are both puppets of the NWO and the bankers, they offer no solutions to the problems we face as a country, they are both BS artists.

Ron Paul tells you the truth and has the solutions. He can "lead by example" and wants America to do the same.

He needs to get away from the Repubs and either make the leap to Libertarians or Constitutionalists. If he does, I might have some respect for him and vote for him. But he won't of course, he would lose all his Repub money...

He should be the only one there. If Americans cared about the nations survival and the Constitution, the other ones would have never made it anywhere near the political scene.

I mean if Republicans supported Ron Paul, I think he was the only candidate capable of beating Obama. I don't think any of the others, including Romney will be able to beat him.

I don't think most people even like him:

By Republicans supporting Romney, for reasons not even revealed to anyone yet, bit of a mystery still... I think they just handed the election over to Obama. They might as well vote for Obama now. Many polling estimates are already showing this will likely be the outcome.

joseph ... to Chris 2012/08/14 04:26:24

The Republicans handed the election to Obama on Saturday when Romney picked a total right wing fanatic as his running mate-- a man who doesn't even believe in equal pay for equal work for women.
I would never have voted for Ron Paul under any circumstances. His ideas are way too right wing and extreme for me. The only thing I agree with him on is ending the war, and Obama is already doing that. I don't think Paul could ever win a general election in this country. Libertarianism has way too many quirks and contradictions the public would never accept.

That's an interesting video, but the United States isn't the only country that believes in freedom. There are countries freer than we are, and I don't believe anything that Alex Jones says.

"I don't believe anything that Alex Jones says"- Good, but don't dismiss the evidence and examples without investigation, regardless of who is giving them to you. After all, this video isn't Alex Jones, it's a collection of various sources and people speaking.
