Ahh Leyla, yes there may be a ghost of a chance to turn this country around, but we're all going to have to sacrifice some of our cold comforts. Less dependence on oil for a start. Do you think we're capable of this? And if we actually do something like that will we still pay in some other way? Not long ago there was a electricity crisis here on the west coast(turned out to be market manipulation by Enron employies) our city asked everyone to cut back on our consumption, we were so successful in cutting back that the utility ended up raising our rates because of a shortfall in profits. It seems we're damned if we do something and damned if we don't. So how do we convince the sheeple that it's in thier best interest to make radicle changes in the way we live? And will electing some new blood really wrench control from those who are so powerful they seemingly control the majority of politicians though lobbying and campain contributions? The average Joe has so little real control that he'll just as soon live out his life, a decent life at that, without getting invloved in what could potentially lead to real problems for him and his family.

You gotta understand how energy works. Right now theres a great energy of awakening and change sweeping through the planet right now. This energy manifests itself in many ways. In politics, it is manifesting with the running of Ron Paul and others who represent some moral character, which has been severely lacking in government for the last 100 years.

People say well its all controlled, we cant do anything about the political system, well HELLO, thats all the more reason to get involved in it, and to take action to fix the system that is supposed to be there for you under the constitution of the united states. But you have neglected your job to be the watchdogs of government and politics, you ignore it, say we cant change it. What would the founding fathers say to that?

Pollsters Censoring Ron Paul from the States He Would Do Well In; Statistical Analysis
usaelectionpolls.com
Sunday May 20, 2007
There have been 27 republican primary polls taken this calendar year WITHOUT referencing Ron Paul. And only 5 polls with Ron Paul. Here are the results in these polls.
All State Polls from 1/1/2007 w/o Ron Paul
Giuliani 27.8
McCain 22.7
Romney 6.9
F. Thompson 9.3
Ron Paul ---
All State Polls from 1/1/2007 w/ Ron Paul
Giuliani 26.0
McCain 20.5
Romney 8.0
F. Thompson 9.0
Ron Paul 1.0
It may look like Giuliani and McCain lose support with Ron Paul in the poll but because there are only 5 out of 32 state polls with Ron Paul mentioned, the small sample size kind of screws the results.
Ron Paul Excluded From Home State. But what we find here is appauling. Ron Paul only averages 1.0% in the state polls. But that is not the true story because the states that Ron Paul would do well in like Texas never have polls citing him. It is like the media does not want to report any successful Ron Paul stories. Because if there was no worries to them, then they would poll Ron Paul from Texas where he is from. That is just our personal take from the analysis of all these polls.
Candidates With Less Money And Little Support Are Included. Ron Paul is currently 4th among Republicans in fundraising so if he is not mentioned in 27 state polls why are all the other candidates who get less money and have very little support being included in far many polls?
Other Candidates. Let's take a look at something. Of these 32 states polls, how many times are the following candidates mentioned:
* Newt Gingrich - 26 polls
* Sam Brownback - 19 polls
* Tom Tancredo - 19 polls
* Mike Huckabee - 19 polls
* Duncan Hunter - 15 polls
* Tommy Thompson - 13 polls
* Jim Gilmore - 12 polls
* Chuck Hagel - 11 polls
Fair? Newt Gingrich makes sense because of his name recognition but he has not even pledged to run yet. 19 polls seems to be a key number because 3 of the other low candidates are included that many times but that represents 4 times as many polls as Ron Paul.
