Ron Paul: Utah turnout wows candidate

Salt Lake Tribune
Excerpt

More than 1,000 people gathered Saturday at the Union Pacific Depot in Salt Lake City to rally behind U.S. Rep. Ron Paul in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Paul, an obstetrician from Texas, was impressed with the turnout.
“Wow. If they only knew you existed over in Washington, they’d change things over there,” he said as he greeted the cheering crowd.
Paul spoke fervently of his support of smaller government, including the abolition of agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, and of his support for strictly following the Constitution. He also spoke out against the war in Iraq and any pre-emptive military action.
“Because of our careless attitude about foreign policy and how we go to war, we have allowed our government to build an American world empire,” he said. “We are not an empire. We’re a republic.”
Paul’s stances on such topics are “clearly proven” in his voting record, which has earned him the nickname of “Dr. No” in the House of Representatives, said supporter Ronald Levine Saturday.
“I tell people not to listen to what a candidate says before an election or what he does,” he said. “I tell them to look at what he has consistently done for the past 20 years

HL’s Take
Ron Paul is the real deal amongst the people, his poll numbers don’t show it because mainstream media polls represent what the MSM want, not what the people are saying. Every time I post a Ron Paul story on this site, I get a bunch of extra hits from people looking up Paul on blogsearch. More then I get from any other subject. Stay with The HL for the latest Ron Paul news. Although Dennis Kucinich is my choice for President (and will get my vote in the California primary) I respect what Paul is doing.
