Here in Ohio we don't have to change party affiliation to vote in the primary. Hopefully, people in states that have that rule won't be discouraged, but even if Ron Paul does not win the primary I will write him in on the ballot for the presidential. If enough people see him through to the end he can win.

Ron Paul will be the greatest president in the history of the US if he is EVER president?

we LOVE you Dr. PAUL.

I actually got to meet earthquake in person a couple of times.He was actually a really nice guy in person.

+Dark Soul20 You have proof that the Police abuse people in the U.S. "not only by shooting people but also by raping them in prison, starve them to death, clobber them, etc."?? You have only what you see on TV or the second, third, fifth, twentieth hand accounts you read online. Here in the U.S. our Police do not handle the incarcerated, that is left to Prison Guards. We would know if they were mistreating prisoner's in any way, quickly. Every square inch in our Prison's are covered by surveillance camera's. To say they are starved is laughable too. You watch too much fiction tv. This isn't a Hollyweird movie. Sure, we have occasional bad cops. None of the Cop's seen in recent years on the news did anything wrong. All the people you have seen, that died in the hands of the Police, did so because they resisted arrest. You mention "an unarmed teen who was trying to run away." First, he was 18, that makes him a legal adult here. He was armed! He has fists and he used them and hurt the officer, almost knocking him unconscious. That is assault here. If the Officer felt his life was in danger, he has the right to shoot in self defense. Michael Brown knew he may be shot if he attacked a Cop and he did it anyway. He escalated the situation, he made the choice to risk his life. End of Story.As for the guy selling cigarette's. He had done this outside of a store at least 5 different times and was arrested for it. The store owner says he was doing it daily and it cost him business. People coming to the store to buy smoke's, ended up buying from that guy instead. What he was doing was illegal. The store owner complained AGAIN, the same cops tried to arrest him AGAIN, this time, he resisted. He was taken down to the ground after resisting. He was NEVER choked. That take down technique is common and legal. He had not closed the choke by closing his hands and applying pressure. All he did was gain leverage and pull him backwards. The guy was talking the whole time. You can not talk when being choked hard enough to cut of oxygen. He is clearly seen breathing the whole time! None of this really matters because once again, he resisted arrest. Had he just went peacefully, he would have bailed out in 2 hours and went home. He CHOSE to risk his life by resisting the commands of a Police Officer. The store owner, pedestrians walking by, people of the State of NY, myself and millions of others, pay taxes so we can hire Police Officers to enforce our laws. The Police were doing their job. The whole incident was being observed by a commanding Officer, who happened to be a Black Woman. She never saw anything wrong being done. Period.You seem ignorant of the Law's. Once a Officer give's you a command, in the U.S. you are compelled by the Law to obey the requests to turn around. They put people in cuffs for their safety. If no charges are filed, they let people go. I have been in cuff's several times and always let go in the end. I was always thanked by the Officers for cooperating. I am 6'8 330lbs. I played College Football on a division one team. I still have quite a bit of muscle, I am not a fat guy. I am an imposing figure and could give two or three Cops a bad time. I was taught to respect the Police and if I have done nothing wrong, I will be let go. This has been true on several occasions, I have never ever been arrested. Only detained while the Police figured out what all was going on. For their safety and peace of mind, they asked me to allow them to cuff me. It is that simple. These people in all these video's are always people who have broke the law. They intentionally choose to resist arrest because they know they are guilty and will be going to jail. So, they fight, to try and get away. They do not respect the Police. They weren't raised to respect the Police. You say "Police officers receive a special training to avoid such things and to save lives, but very often all they do is shooting/harassing/threaten, mostly innocent, people, because they are in a powerful position and they abuse their power like all men and women in a powerful position do" First, our Police radio in every time they make contact with anyone. They do this as protection, in case something bad happens and they need backup. They do not harass the public. The people they stop give them reasons. Like you, they are ignorant of law's. They don't know what they are doing that gives the Cops permission by law to detain them. If the person does not follow instruction, they have a few options. If the person attacks them, they are left with one choice. They do what they are trained to do. Try to subdue the attacker, if they can not, get separation from the attacker, draw their weapon and command them to get on the ground. If they don't do this and they charge the Officer, they are taught to shoot center mass, in the chest and keep shooting until the threat is gone. Once the Officer's gun is drawn, the decision is made to use lethal force and the decision was made by the attacker. The Officer is going to shoot and continue shooting until the attacker is no longer comming at the Officer.I can not speak as to what goes on in your Country. Here, one thing is certain 99.99999% of the time. If you obe the Police Officer's command's, you will live. Fight and you will die. I am fine with that. I live here, if what you say was true, I would fear for my life and I would be on your side. I am not, because you speak from a position of ignorance and to hear you say to someone "Are u so blind? U are an idiot..." is laughable. Educate yourself before speaking about things. Even Obama and Eric Holder said that Michael Brown assaulted Officer Wilson. They agreed the shooting was justified. They said Brown NEVER had his hands up and NEVER said "don't shoot" They agreed that he did indeed charge Officer Brown who was chasing him, trying to arrest him. Read the report from the Department of Justice! Even our News people have apologized for perpetrating the lie's told by people about the shooting.

+Dark Soul20Anyone no matter what their skin color who puts their hands on a cop DESERVES to get shot.I have no sympathy for anyone who does something stupid and gets hurt or killed because of it and as far as I'm concerned these ethnic studies students who are making professional pests of themselves need to find something more useful to do with themselves like for instance getting a real job.

I was there at the diner when it happened, and a few of the guys were like "what you doing here son? wtf you doing here son?" I believe it was because I wasn't Black nor White. Did they expect me to join in with them coz I wasn't white? Stupidity at its finest!!

+Hammerhead547 Many cops obviously do exploit their powerful position in MANY ways - not only by shooting people but also by raping them in prison, starve them to death, clobber them, etc, etc. We have TONS of evidence for that, even in Europe, where i come from. And u protect those cops with everything u have? Just because they are cops doesn't mean that they have the right to punish prisoners or ppl on the street or killing someone for selling untaxed cigarettes, or to arrest someone brutally, only because the person wanted to to close the entrance door behind the cop, or to shoot an unarmed teen who was trying to run away. I don't know what saddens me most; that u're a moron, because u defend all those cops, or that cops exploit their power on a daily basis.Police officers exploit their power in too many different ways and way too often and without bearing the consequences for their actions!! And you defend them? Are u so blind? U are an idiot who don't know any facts or u're just someone who don't wanna see the facts. Police officers receive a special training to avoid such things and to save lives, but very often all they do is shooting/harassing/threaten, mostly innocent, people, because they are in a powerful position and they abuse their power like all men and women in a powerful position do and as i said before......no real consequences for them.

The bottom line is that anyone who attacks a cop probably deserves to get shot because chances are that they were already doing something that was illegal to begin with.

+Warcorpse666 I just want a damn beer because you keep stealing my stash.

no you don't

Do you really think this is going to do a damn thing SZ

U sound dumb as fuck u think its a good thing to be on this , its not fucking cool to be number one right now u idiot

I'm in agreement with you regarding the breast feeding. Some women whip them out in weird places hoping someone tries to stop them. If it wasn't serious enough to breast feed and drive, the baby can probably wait at least until after church.

The Oakland stories are sad. Times have definitely changed and you're right, kids no longer have respect for life.

Man it so sad, now I know what my grandma meant when she said, I'm worried about the future generations.
