  QUOTE: "Republicans have a history of being anti-war." -Ron Paul
  
  I've been watching some news lately, which I don't usually do anymore because I can finally see current media for the thing that it is; completely manipulated by government and celebrities. Terrible, when America must turn to Comedy Central to find the real version of their news. I'm not criticizing The Daily Show or the Colbert Report (I love these shows) I just wish I could trust my current media enough so that those shows wouldn't be my sole source of news receiving (well, that, and Digg)
  
  After a little while, though, I began to notice a particular candidate, Ron Paul, who seemed to stand out from the rest of the candidates as an honest speaker. A lot of what he said ran true; he quoted specific sources such as the 9/11 Commission Report and the CIA and didn't use simple rhetoric to sway the crowd, unlike the rest of the candidates (Mitt Romney: Double Guantanamo, uh huh. And the Jack Bauer guy. Sheesh)
  
  I'll be watching Ron Paul, but here's the interesting thing. Paul is up at the top of every YouTube's list, he is winning every online poll that FOX doesn't fix, and he is gaining a lot of attention despite CNN's Obama card and FOX's Giuliani card. That being said, this may be the first candidate that could win through the internet alone.
  
  
  
  I know that a lot of people say that America is beyond saving, and that we have already lost so much that to fix all of the nasty mistakes that our government has made, such as the removal of habeas corpus, the ability for the President to overcome the Legislative and Judicial branches of government in times of "emergency," our lost respect from every international view, etc.
  
  Less power to the central government, more to the states.
  
  Powerful security, but maintaining freedom.
  
  Go get them, Paul.
