Final Nevada numbers from CNN.com:
Ronmey: 16,486(50%)
Gingrich: 6,956(21%)
Paul: 6,175(19%)
Santorum: 3,277(10%)
The more I think about it, the less angry I get over the Nevada caucus. True, in all of the other states that have voted so far, Ron Paul's numbers have increased in a big way, but in Nevada, just 100 votes or so more than in '08. But, I did predict that we would have a strong third, possibly second place finish.

What has happened to our republic?
Our republic is in distress.
The men and women who control it have lost their way. I use the word 'control' not 'lead' beacause, it used to be that the President, or even lesser public office figures like senators and congressmen/women, governors and mayors were looked up to. They were respected. They were revered as stand-up citizens doing their part. They were emulated, and inspirational.
It used to be that the president cared about freedom and justice for all. He took his oath seriously. He cared about YOU. The people. The constitution. The most sacred document in the land. Our rights. Our God given rights were to never be infringed upon. Life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. All of those rights have been trampled on. They've added an asterisk to each and every one of those phrases. Life, liberty and happiness are now harder to find in the United States.
It used to be that the federal government didn't get involved in medicine. It used to be that the federal government didn't care who you have sex with. It used to be that the government didn't care who you married, didn't tell you what or how to eat, didn't tell you what you could see or listen to, or read. It used to be that the federal government didn't not get involved in every aspect of your life. It used to be that you kept every penny you earned.
Why has this happened? Control.
This nation has never been more divided on such a wide range of issues. I've ben hearing word that the 'Occupy' movment is going to start getting more violent, and frankly that scares me. I think that's it. I have never been more afraid of not only this country, but the entire world. We've created so many enemies for ourselves, so much resentment all over the world due to our actions.
Here's a video that describes 'blowback':

Ron Paul get's shit going on the floor of congress. It's just so unfortunate that no body wants to listen to him, or don't even give him a chance. The economy has a lot to do with it.
We must wake up, or we will fall.
