Muckraker Report's Ed Haas: Writing in Ron Paul

We're starting to see more people catching onto the Ron Paul write-in movement. Ed Haas, of the stellar publication the Muckraker Report, has written a brief article indicating his intentions to vote for Ron Paul via write-in vote, in the event he doesn't win the Republican nomination, as well as valuable "How To" info you'll need to know in order to Vote Write In.




December 24, 2007 – Presidential hopeful Congressman Ron Paul does not need to win the republican nomination to earn my vote. He does not need to win the nomination to earn your vote either. I am voting for Ron Paul for President of the United States regardless of whether he wins his party’s nomination or not. Imagine that! It’s called the Ron Paul Factor! The fools at Fox News might want to take note. They just cannot stop the Ron Paul vote.

Many in the corporate media, most at the direction of their handlers, have attempted repeatedly to write Congressman Paul out of the script. First they tried to ignore him, hoping he would just fade away. But as his support grew, the corporate media knew that its bias would be seen as obviously blatant if they did not cover the Paul campaign. So they conceded, and proceeded to cover the candidate almost always in a negative light. CNN’s Glenn Beck, much to my surprise, recently proved to be an exception to the rule by conducting what I thought was a fair and thoughtful hour-long interview with Ron Paul. On the other hand, the obnoxious bore, or boar if you prefer, Tim Russert from Meet the Press is the latest Ron Paul interviewer that did his best to portray Paul negatively.

Excellent, New Ron Paul Interview

An Interview with Presidential Candidate Congressman Ron Paul
June 28, 2007

Muckraker Report: You seem to have a stronger anti-war stance than even many of the Democratic candidates: unlike Hillary Clinton, for instance, you voted against the Iraq war. In terms of foreign policy, what would a Ron Paul presidency look like?

Congressman Ron Paul: Well, it certainly wouldn’t involve going to war with countries that pose no threat to us. The 2002 Iraq war resolution transferred the authority and responsibility for waging war from the legislature to the executive branch, which is a total breach of the principles of the U.S. Constitution. James Madison pointed this out in 1798, that because the executive is the branch of government most interested in war, the question of war must be vested in the legislature – “with studied care,” I believe his exact words were. You can’t have presidents waging war willy-nilly for reasons that are fundamentally at odds with the basic interests of the American people. I voted against that resolution because I believe strongly that we should avoid getting entangled in foreign alliances and instead seek peace and trade with all nations. This is a reflection of the wisdom of the Founders, who advocated a non-interventionist foreign policy, the most eloquent expression of which can be found in George Washington’s Farewell Address. So to answer your question, if I were president, I would do my best to follow in the footsteps of the Founders by abiding by the rules laid out in the U.S. Constitution, which means limiting the power of the executive to wage war.
