While reading "Who's who and why in the race for president" by guest columnist Chris Satullo in the Jan. 10 Chronicle, I couldn't help but notice Mr. Satullo's five-word comment regarding presidential candidate, Ron Paul: "Object of a cult crush."
After listening to the talking heads on the left and right, I began to notice a trend developing in the rhetoric vs. reality of the two contending political parties. For example, the Republicans took Congress on the promise of smaller government, less taxes on the working families and a reduction of illegal immigrants taking our jobs. But instead what did we get? We got much larger government, massive spending and no slowing of the flood of illegals into our country.
Then the Democrats took Congress on the promise of bringing our troops home, an end to the war and keeping jobs in America. But, again, what did we get? We got a troop surge, no end in sight for the war and Mexican trucks flooding over the border with foreign-made goods.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who supports our sovereignty as a nation, and the freedoms of speech, the right to bear arms and all the other freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Something that all the other candidates have been and/or will be obligated to incrementally take from us, because they are funded by special interest groups like American Israel Public Affairs Committee, big business and the bankers who soak up all of our income-tax money as interest owed to the privately owned, for-profit Federal Reserve Bank system.
So according to Mr. Satullo, if it means being a "cultist" to be a supporter of the Constitution and freedom, then I am indeed a member of the Ron Paul "cult."

So Mr Guiney,,,Where have you been? You evidently dont watch the debates. I have sat here and typed for 5 minutes to give you my opinion, but it's not worth the bother so I cancelled it. I do feel better though. Thank God Mr Paul has no chance of going anywhere. I had no idea there were even a few white supremancy wanta-be's still around.
no but morons abound........... what an idiotic statement. no wonder we are an entitlement society.
I feel Ron Paul has a lot to offer, but I feel he's not the man to lead this country. His views are important, but appear to be narrow. After watching the excellent Myrtle Beach debate I still feel Mr Paul is a "small picture" candidate. He doesn't come across as though he sees whats outside of his immediate location.
Our nation is in trouble when supposedly fiscally-responsible Republicans in the conservative state of South Carolina would boo a man for telling the truth about our national debt of more than $9 trillion. Dr. Paul is right. Our nation is out of money, and we can't afford to keep policing the world. We must love being lied to. Why else would we put up with the Federal Reserve's claim that inflation is only about 2%? When food and energy costs are counted, the rate is closer to 8%. But lying about the cost of living helps our commander-in-chief avoid paying disabled vets the annual raises they're entitled to. This should give our soldiers overseas some idea how well they will be taken care of if they should be reduced to depending on government assistance for the rest of their lives.
