Nothing more to say. Totally dope! This movie was so surprising to me. It was incredibly moving, and touched deeply on what's going on in America today. A lot of people can sympathize with how they felt when Bobby was running. We need a good man like him again. It's Ron Paul!!!
RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!!
I don't know who Ron Paul is, but I agree 100% with what you said. I watched the movie just now, not really knowing what to expect. I watched it on the recommendation of a friend. I thought the entire cast, storyline and movie were amazing. I was very moved.
shareSo are you.

Ron Paul is nothing like RFK... You know Ron Paul wants to get rid of every single social program? He's a strict libertarian that wants no government restriction or interfecrence. That means no gun laws, no department of education, no DOE, etc.
I like Paul's anti-war stance, but that's about where the comparison to Bobby Kennedy stops. I think if people truly knew everything Paul believed in, they wouldn't support him after all.
"Women who have had abortions should be charged and convcted of murder"-Ron Paul
Ron Paul=nut job
Let's not forget the Ron Paul newsletter that was full of racist rants...yeah that is in real comparison to Bobby Kennedy .
Here is a nice Ron Paul quote for you from his crazy newsletter about the LA riots: "Order was only restored in L.A., when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks..."
Another one condemned Ronald Reagan for establishing Martin Luther King Day, and ridiculously accused Dr. King of domestic violence and pedophilia.
The newsletter suggested that appropriate names for a city renamed by black civil rights activists might include "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," and "Lazyopolis."
Yeah, go Ron Paul. We really need more insane racists in power...
You gave up everything you had to find me. You found me broken.
First of all, Ron Paul never wrote any of those newsletters. So that is totally fiction. Here is an actual quote from Dr. Paul about racism:
“Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals . . . By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called “diversity” actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racists . . . we should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.”
Oh yeah, he also has the highest minority support among the GOP presidential candidates. And not that it really matters, but I am also a minority. So if any of you actually knew what you were talking about, you would know that Ron isn't a racist.
And finally, Dr. Martin Luther King is one of Ron Paul's heroes.
We can save our country by following the Consitution again. Many of our "social" programs don't work and are killing us financially (national debt). It is just another excuse, for politicians to ask for more money from the tax payers. However, if we adopt a non intervention foreign policy, we can the money that we would save to help the dependent. No one would be thrown out into the street. The best way to allow for the greatest prosperity for the current poor and middle class, is to allow the people to keep the fruits of their labor (no income tax). So this is the most generous policy, overall. So, you have to ask yourself, what should be the role of government in our lives?
That's fine if you agree with what you said in your last paragraph. However, those do NOT parallel Bobby Kennedy's social views.
Personally, I think it's an insane notion that we stop funding and cut taxes. What about public education? Yeah, America would be so much better off if we cut public funding for schools. That way, the elite majority, and the slightly larger portion of the population who falls in the upper middle class can send their children to private schools. What about the rest of the nation's children? The ever-diminishing middle class, as a whole, is probably not going to be able to afford public schools without some form of help from the government. Even if, as you say, eliminating taxes creates a larger middle class (as opposed to, as I would argue, simply put more power in the hands of the corporations, and those of us closer to the bottom of the spectrum would probably find quality of life unchanged or worse), and those people can somehow afford private education or home schooling, what about that bottom percent that will, like in all of history, inevitably remain? No way will no taxes elimate a lower class, who, by no means, would be able to afford private education or homeschooling. What then? We let them go uneducated? Is that what is best for America??
I realize you are not specifically talking about education, but I am using that as one example of how disastrous it would be to cut taxes dramatically. It's common sense. Just look at the American History before social programs were put into place at a high rate. Corporations owned everything. They could control absolutely everything about work environments, wages, EVERYTHING. It seems to me that, if we cut social programs, and the money is controlled by private corporations and the elite minority (which it would have to be in that scenario), then, soon enough, workers rights will go to. Is that what is best for America?
