Ron Paul got an endorsement from a California organization

The United Republicans of California (UROC) have unanimously endorsed Congressman Ron Paul for president of the United States.

In their official statement endorsing Dr. Paul, UROC called him "the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital" and recognized that:

Ron Paul's voting record demonstrates that he has voted against:

  • raising taxes

  • unbalanced budgets

  • a federal restriction on gun ownership;

  • raising congressional pay; or

  • increasing the power of the executive branch.


  • His voting record demonstrates further that he voted against:

  • the USA Patriot Act;

  • regulating the Internet; and

  • the war in Iraq.


  • Dr. Paul is the only candidate with a record that matches the UROC’s platform.

    The group's leaders said others from "across the country should support Ron Paul for president."

    Ron Paul is not going to win.

    Ron Paul has already won. He won the first and second GOP debate -- according to MSNBC's poll (MSNBC hosted the first debate) and FOX News (Fox hosted the 2nd debate).

    Ron Paul has more subscribers to his YouTube page than Obama.

    When Liberty wins -- we all win.

    The war is proven to be wrong -- something that Ron Paul said before it started.

    "Ron Paul has already won." What in God's name could that possibly mean?

    Paul is a "niche" candidate much like John Anderson in 1980.

    When he's on Letterman or Leno, we'll take him seriously.

    There have been two GOP candidate debates. One in Calif with Nancy R at the library. The other with Fox in S.C. Ron Paul won them both -- as per the MSM each time.

    Ron Paul is scoring big victories.

    Ron Paul is not going to win so says Matt. Give me a break. Matt won't be voting in the GOP primary. -- but I say Dr. Paul has already has won big time and he has clearly taken certain battles.

    The goofy Michigan dude wanted Paul kicked out of future debates. That only means Dr. Paul is winning and can't be beat.

    Ron Paul is a M.D. He is a congressman. He was born in Pittsburgh. He is a vet. He was against the war -- and asked Congress to vote for war -- up or down.

    The Primary in PA is nearly a year away. He will hold his own and won't fade. The others will fade.

    He won't win the GOP primary. He's not even considered a front-runner. He has some good supporters, but Fred Thompson has more buzz.

    An "Anti-War" Republican carrying the GOP? No way, shape or form that's EVER going to happen.

    The steadfast Republican voting base simply will not throw the military under the preverbial bus.

    Guaranteed.

    I read that another five service men and women got killed in Iraq today. So, I ask, who is getting tossed under the bus now? Who is doing the tossing? Who doesn't want to be the aggressor?

    The present administration is hell bent on going to war. This is a war that was not declared. This is a war that America won't win. The war is for them to sort out there.

    We are not making peace there. We are making war.

    Viet Nam was ended due to Anti-War Republicans. Same too for Korea's conflict.

    Anti-War Republicans made the GOP strong. They won the nation over to R.

    The Neo Con Republican War Mongers is what is playing a role at killing the nation and the GOP.

    Ron Paul is a vet. He wants the US to be strong at home.

    Another five killed? While very sad for those heroes and their families, a one-minute search of TODAY's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette online edition shows of at least SIX area people killed in accidents and/or fatal shootings within the past 24 hours.

    Of course people are going to die in war. That's why they are heroes.

    I applaud Mr. Paul for his service and his character and some of his conservative/libertarian ideas.

    There's just no way on earth that he's going to win the GOP nomination.

    Yes, I must have got the numbers wrong or heard a partial report.

    From Wikipedia: "There were about 2,400 casualties on Omaha on D-day, most in the first few hours."

    Thank God that Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha and the other narrow-minded Liberal/Socialist hate mongers didn't have a voice on June 7, 1944. We'd all be speaking German, Murtha would be bursting out of a officer's uniform somewhere and Pelusi would be an anonymous member of her beloved National Socialist German Workers Party, seving hot dishes to her husband and his Volksgemeinschaft cronies.
