Though (or because) he upholds his oath of office and defends the Constitution unlike almost everyone else in DC, he is anything but a media darling. You know as well as I do that the main stream media is ignoring him as much as possible, depriving him of a fair amount of time at the debates and mischaracterizing his principled Constitutional conservatism. Hey, they’re doing the same thing as you.

And speaking of hijacking the process, that’s what certain establishment Republicans have been doing even though he is the only Real Republican in the race and has been attracting lots of energetic, knowledgable and youthful voters to the party. If you and the rest of the big government-feeders-at-the-public-trough don’t cease and desist from the disinformation and the dirty tricks, the GOP will be crushed in November. In that case, it will deserve it’s fate. You, Senator Sprouse, will be one of the persons individually responsible for the party’s and nation’s distress.

Your sentiments summarize exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party; namely abandonment of conservative principles. Bush and his cronies have promoted bloated government, record deficits, reckless wars, stupid trade policies, and debased the currency. At least the Democrats are honest about being the party of big government.
If you think that Ron Paul’s positions represent the 2% fringe, you are sorely mistaken. Your use of the term “hijack” for citizens exercising their constitutional rights is both arrogant and offensive. No wonder the WV Republican Party is nowhere. Nationally, the 2008 election, will make 2006 look like the good old days.
I have voted Republican for decades, but will not be supporting the insanity of John McCain: Jobs are gone, Illegal immigrants stay, pick fights with Putin, and inflate the currency to finance the wars and welfare state. Is that what you call a serious candidate ? Have you noticed that none of the candidates want to be associated with Bush ? They all try to present themselves as a Reagan. Reagan was smart enough to realize that Lebanon was not vital to US interests and correct his mistake.

Chances are Ron Paul will not win, but he has awakened a lot of us. I view him as a prophet. There is no need for a political party that has abandoned its core values.

I thought the “Change WV” idea might be a good one, but now I see where you are REALLY coming from. Another STATE RAPIST. Join the ranks of Governor Manchin and his State Cop Goons. Sorry.

Economic problems are starting to squirt through the crumbling dyke and people starting to get wet are noticing they are already ankle deep. And fingers holding the water back are starting to run for safety.

It could come down to the courage of the last man standing.

While reading this article, I was convinced that the person writing this blog was 16 or mentally retarded. Then I see in a response that you are a senator! (I ignore banners, sorry) No wonder our government is so screwed up. You have come straight out of MHMR to try to disillusion other Republicans that they are, in fact, Imperialists.

Now, who would we surrender to exactly? The Mexicans? Oh sorry, you were talking about Iraq… the country we’ve destroyed too much of and SHOULD leave from. Yes, I am a Republican. Yes, I voted for GWB. Yes, I’m very sorry for my mistakes and the 600,000 civilians I have voted to kill. But, Paul is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. We marched our happy butts in there, we can march our happy butts right back out. If the people need medical help, then Red Cross to the rescue. After all, if we leave, Iraq won’t really be on there own. The U.N. and IMF and World Bank have SO much of our money already that Iraq could be rebuilt several times over.

With Bhutto’s assassination, it should be more evident to everyone that this war is not designed to ever end. Stay the course? What course? What plan has anyone talked about worth keeping? “Stay the course” is simply a saying to get the people to impulsively support the agenda without questioning the motive. Shameless!

Ron Paul’s anti-war stance DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE LIBERALS BECAUSE EVEN *THEY* WON’T GUARANTEE AN END TO FOREIGN OCCUPATION BY 2013!

Ron Paul’s stance is clearly his own. Better yet, it’s OURS. We have done enough since 1953 to keep Iraq in ruins. We HAVE to get. My house is worthless for the next ten years because of this war and its inflation. And you… IDIOTS… want to keep it going at OUR expense?

Sir, if you can be recalled I urge your citizens to do it. You are not a true Republican.
