Ron Paul's Ghost's Page

The debacle that is the GOP primary continues to unfold and the "lead dog" now seems to be Rick Santorum. I'd be celbrating the fact that non-conservative Romney is no longer the leader, but Santorum is no conservative either. The fact is that there IS one person in the GOP race who will reduce the size of government and embrace the US Constitution. The problem is…See More

The only thing that possibly makes sense about Newt Gingrich winning in South Carolina is that Republican primary voters are looking for some other candidate that is not in the race. Newt Gingrich is terrible and has a flip-flopping record to rival anything Romney has done.

Ron Paul has at least built a name for himself, and if he runs in 2012, could tell people "I told you so" about the…See More

Well, looky here. The House of so-called Representatives has renewed the horribly mis-named PATRIOT Act which authorizes all manner of blatantly Unconstitutional spying on US citizens. And, interestingly enough, Martin Heinrich and Steve Pearce have both voted for it! The only one of New Mexico's congresscritters to oppose it was that noted Constitutional scholar Ben Ray Lujan. Just goes to show you:1) Pearce…See More

Screw Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, the real man of the year is Julian Assange (or perhaps Bradley Manning). Check out this great piece from Glenn Greenwald detailing all the stuff that Assange and Wikileaks revealed this year.   Anyone that can use the truth and non-violence to…See More

The Land Commissioner's race is often-overlooked in New Mexico, but it is an important race. The candidates in this year's race have some very stark differences. As Marita Noon writes, candidate Ray Powell has a checkered past with positions taken on both sides of the issue.  See More
