Everyone that saw the ad, got a different message. As an "Independent", (fiscally conservative), knowing Eastwood was a Republican, my take on the ad was in the 2nd half we need to get rid of Obama. Eastwood said, when we're down, we get back up. Obama says when your down, just lay there and we'll give you food stamps.

After listening to The SOTU last evening, which is the campaign speech he will deliver to the ignorant masses that don't pay attention and get all the free stuff. (You know, the Americon Idol crowd) compared to the self destruction of the GOP, I fully expect the Socialist in Chief to get re-elected. After Romney and Gingrich destroy each other, Santorum could move up through the middle, but he's no match for Obama, who is the best campaigner, with the best election team ever. Our (the American people) only hope is to control both the Senate & House and replace Boehner and Cantor with a power house dealmaker.

I agree with you johnm, and if we can keep Ron in 3rd place this time around, he should be able to pressure the winner to include some of his ideas in the platform, under threat of a third party run, and move the GOP away from the Progressives. The question is, who will lead the crusade, after Ron. He is 76 years old.

We MUST give Ron Paul either a 2nd or 3rd place finish, because he's our bargaining chip to deal with the debt, deficit and the FED. Neither Romney nor Gingrich will deal with it unless they are forced to, and that's where Ron Paul comes in. I'm not ready for Ron Paul as President, but neither am I ready for Gingrich or Romney WITHOUT Ron Paul's pressure to do what's right.

It is important that we keep Ron Paul up in 2nd or 3rd place, as he is our only 'bargaining chip' to force the winner to be a conservative and deal with our debt and deficit. Romney or Gingrich will not do unless Ron Paul forces them to do it..

Why isn't anyone making the case of how Obama is purposely destroying jobs ? 130,000 direct and indirect jobs for the pipeline, jQuery15208301089555635495_1326984051282?? jobs destroyed by shutting down coal mines, ???? jobs destroyed in the San Joaquin Valley in California to save the Delta Smelt (bait), and on and on ?

We can only hope that Ron Paul can force some of his economic policies on the winner, using the threat of a third party run as the leverage, which would make the GOP candidate successful by default.

Our only hope is for Ron Paul to become a huge thorn in the side of Romney, to the degree that he forces Romney to adopt his fiscal positions, or face a 3rd party run. Help Ron Paul as much as possible in the Primary run, as he's our concience.

Machine Shops, Metal Fabricators, Plastic Fabricators etc., which are also referred to as 'Job Shops' should look at robotics and automate and start thinking about replacing imported consumer products and thereby becoming 'Manufacturers'. Good place to put your "Angel" funds Jeff.
