Ron Paul 2012 Podcast
Summary: Most independent minded Americans realize that Washington DC is corrupt, and is run for the administrative convenience of Wall St. banks and multinational corporations. Republicans and Democrats have let us down time and time again. If the United States are to remain free and democratic, we must save our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Don't let the corporate media and the special interests tell you how to think! They demonize any restraint on federal authority (like Constitutionalism, states-rights, fully informed juries, and the OathKeepers) as racist, extremist, or seditious! Why? Because they are authoritarians at heart who want to run your life and take your money on behalf of the wealthiest people on earth. Ron Paul is America's leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. If you are disgusted by what corporate interests have gotten away with in recent years, you must understand that it wouldn't have been possible without government complicity. A small government cannot pass out favors to cronies, and therefore representatives are less likely to be corrupted. Don't allow the media to convince you that libertarian ideals are quaint, bizarre, or anachronistic. Don't allow the likes of the ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center to get away with saying that you're a racist if you believe you've been taxed enough and you think the borders should be secured. Dr. Paul represents a return to common sense in government, and to the freedom that allowed such great prosperity in our country. So take a listen to Congressman Paul's words as he is interviewed by the media, gives speeches to students and supporters, and debates ideological foes. If you have had it with the Bush/Obama regime, Ron Paul offers Real Hope For America. Let the rEVOLution continue! (To donate or listen to additional audio, visit http://ronpaul2012.podbean.com/)

This audio file recaps the last few days of media coverage- leading up to, on the day of, and in the aftermath of the South Carolina primary. I like to include surrogates speaking to the media on behalf of the Paul campaign, various clips illustrating the kind of grassroots efforts taking place on the ground, news packages by local affiliates and national networks, and even some previously unposted audio with Dr. Paul, himself. The media rarely covers Dr. Paul even when he does well at the ballot box- they had even less to say on Saturday night. By the numbers, the Congressman received around 77k votes from SC voters- a huge increase over four years ago in a somewhat hostile state. Unfortunately, the disappointing showing was enhanced by the fact that the candidates certain to finish behind him dropped out prior to primary day. But most outlets recognize that our campaign will push forward for the foreseeable future, collecting delegates as we go. I want to say that regardless of the results, the activists and supporters in South Carolina should be very proud of themselves! Waking up Americans, particularly those in the deep south who have their traditional faith and patriotism manipulated by the GOP for political gain, is no simple task.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Rep. Ron Paul advocates for the preservation of the free internet by speaking out against the notorious SOPA and PIPA Acts. The Congressman warned about some of the consequences passing this federal power-grab would entail, and lauded grassroots activism that caused the bills' defeat (for now).

On Saturday, Congressman Ron Paul came onto Fox News' Huckabee, to talk with the former Governor about his disappointing showing in South Carolina and the campaign going forward. Huckabee did note the obvious growth of the movement since 2008, and Rep. Paul explained why the limited government message is more necessary than ever.

Well, it is a disappointing night for all of us as Congressman Ron Paul garnered only 13% of the South Carolina Republican Primary vote. Newt Gingrich won the election with 40%, Mitt Romney was 2nd with 28%, and Rick Santorum was 3rd with 19% of the vote. Wonder what happened to the other 4 to 8% that Dr. Paul had polled with in the last week or so? Nevertheless, we are still very early in this fight, with elections to come that are much friendlier to our cause and our candidate. Dr. Paul did receive over 77,000 votes on Saturday - nearly 5x more votes than in the 2008 SC primary (16,155), and almost as many votes as the 2012 New Hampshire (56,848) and Iowa (26,036) contests combined! That is NOT a failure -Those are alot of changed minds! After all the results had been announced, Congressman Paul addressed a couple hundred local supporters and activists at his South Carolina Primary Night Party in Columbia. The Congressman touted the steady growth of our movement and reiterated his position on several issues involving government spending and the national debt, the Patriot Act and the Federal Reserve system.

As you might expect going into the all-important South Carolina primary, coverage of the Ron Paul 2012 campaign has been hot and heavy in the past week. The last seven days have been strange, in that Rick Santorum has been pushed back into the headlines after the Iowa GOP has somehow determined that he actually won the caucus there, and the mainstream press (particularly Fox News and the neocon talk radio mafia) has hailed the rejuvenation of Newt Gingrich's campaign due to his windy performances in the two South Carolina debates. You have to be amused by such an arrogant insider like Gingrich bemoaning the "elitist media" for calling him to task for his life and record. And your average Republican just eats it up! The Congressman took a break from the campaign trail midweek to return to Washington and stand against yet another debt-ceiling increase, and to propose legislation that would repeal the most offensive sections of the NDAA. He then returned to the Palmetto State to rally the troops towards victory at the polls. The personal attacks were near constant. Neoconservative figurehead Bill Krystol made the rounds demanding that the Republican Party find a way to banish Ron Paul, while at the same time, other observers in the punditry acknowledged that any Republican nominee will have to have us on board if they hope to have a chance at beating Lord Obama in the general election. Strange Days Indeed! I will post a wrap-up/review of the South Carolina primary within the next day or two. Until then, here's a four hour chunk of audio to tide you over (very heavy on Judge Napolitano, and his great coverage on Freedom Watch!).
