Official site advocating Ron Paul and his Presidential bid in 2008; And, in the event that Ron Paul doesn't win the Republican nomination, we propose all Ron Paul supporters enter his name as a write-in candidate vote.
"Fox News sucks...That's what I think....You know, this is just ridiculous! Ron Paul, a man I've interviewed many times, got more of a percentage by a lot, than Rudy Giuliani, but Fox News won't let him in the debate. What the hell are they afraid of?"
Desperate debunkers resort to attacking Congressman on amount of money he requests for shrimp research, while Giuliani's rampant corruption is ignored

Fox News are so desperate to dig up any dirt on Ron Paul, that one of their flagship shows last night resorted to attacking him over the amount of federal funding he requested for shrimp research.
Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul — who is campaigning as a critic of congressional overspending — has revealed that he is requesting $400 million worth of earmarks this year," reported the Brit Hume show.
The Wall Street Journal reports Paul's office says those requests include $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp and $2.3 million to pay for research into shrimp fishing.
A spokesman says, "Reducing earmarks does not reduce government spending, and it does not prohibit spending upon those things that are earmarked. What people who push earmark reform are doing is they are particularly misleading the public — and I have to presume it's not by accident."
The Texas Lone Star Times also ran with the shrimp hit piece, which originated with an article in the Wall Street Journal.
If Ron Paul's biggest skeleton in the closet is the amount of money his district spends on shrimp research, then the establishment media are going to have a difficult time maintaining their assault on his credibility as they panic in fear at the Congressman's runaway popularity.
Their desperation in scraping the barrel to uncover any dirt on Paul previously yielded the equally shocking scandal of one his aides having written fifteen years ago about crime figures and black people - another feeble jab that fizzled into nothing.
Compare the egregious and rampant corruption of Rudy Giuliani with Ron Paul's shrimp overspend and ask yourself why Fox News isn't running hit pieces on the Nosferatu of the Republican presidential race.
As we reported yesterday, Fox News attempted to smear Paul by debunking the 9/11 truth movement and then associating it with the Texas Congressman.
Though Texas Congressman doesn't believe 9/11 an inside job, his broader message should be embraced by all within the 9/11 truth movement.

Ron Paul appeared on Fox News yesterday following the Republican debate in Iowa to discuss a number of issues, including the Texas Congressman's association with Alex Jones, in what was an apparent attempt by Fox to smear the presidential hopeful.
The Texas Congressman was asked directly about his association with Alex Jones as the host insinuated such a connection undermines Paul's credibility. Paul has been a regular guest on the Alex Jones Show for years.
"Just think what it would be like if only I could go on TV stations, the major TV networks, when I knew they agreed with me - all of the major networks agreed with the war - that meant I could never be on any major TV network," said Paul.
"Of course I don't support everything he says but people that I associate with, I don't endorse their views they come over to associate with me to endorse my views or I'm just expressing my views - but there'd be no way I could be on television if that was the litmus test - that I had to agree with everything they stood for and what they promoted - it just wouldn't work," added the Congressman.
Ron Paul's refusal to directly state that 9/11 was an inside job, a topic also raised during the interview, has angered many within the 9/11 truth movement.
But we have to understand that politics is a cutthroat business and the Congressman has decided to run his campaign around a tight message of liberty and real conservatism that will appeal to as much of the voting public as possible.
Dwelling on the 9/11 question, massive though it is, only provides the likes of Fox News with ample opportunity to sidetrack and smear the Congressman and alienate him from Republican voters who have become disenchanted with the direction of the party.
Though we will never agree with Ron Paul on every single issue we recognize that his broader message is unlike anything offered by the establishment candidates and resonates with a huge amount of people, as his growing popularity has proven - which is why we will continue to support Ron Paul's candidacy at every juncture.
In a related story, ABC News were caught editing their poll results yesterday to unfairly strip Ron Paul of votes. At around 10am EST, the Texas Congressman had over a thousand votes but around an hour later and after the debate had finished, he was down to under 500.
Others accused ABC of deliberately underplaying the debate after many expressed their confusion at the fact that it was aired live on a Sunday morning with little fanfare, likely ensuring that it was the least watched Republican debate so far.
