I think a lot of people feel this way. I also think this Presidential election cycle is the first where the Internet will tip the outcome in any given direction, possibly with a crushing amount of force. The media may not feel like talking about Ron Paul, but the actual end unit that creates everything we are, the people of the United States – well, they seem to have an interest in old Ron.
Everyone is saying Ron Paul won the Republican debate last week. This is largely because he didn’t come across as just another dumb old white guy, and was not seen raising his hand in rejection of evolution.
But, hopefully the attention will stick, and people will pay a little attention to what the guy has to say, which is backed up in a long career and by a consistent voting record.
Unfortunately, we will not hear much about his positions in the mainstream media. They consider the campaign to be quixotic. By this they mean crackpot.
This is because he favors such things as demolishing the IRS.
When was it the American people became so infatuated with essentially burning a third of their salary? Why do we think it so important the ignoramuses in Washington DC determine what is best to do with our hard earned money?
The above comes from someone who describes herself as "bi hasbian." While I have no idea what that means, I share her interest in Ron Paul’s politics. I might even vote for him despite his strong anti-war stance, because I feel that if he was elected, he would take a responsible approach to the humanitarian side of the situation in Iraq, which is what I care about most deeply when I say we cannot abandon the Iraqis by establishing a mandatory timetable for pulling out.
If, like me, you feel that this country is headed in the wrong direction, then Ron Paul really is worth a look. If, like me, you feel that growing government makes things worse, not better, then Ron Paul really is worth a look. If, like me, you feel that it is long past time we started revering freedom, instead of just paying it lip service, then Ron Paul really is worth a look. I’m optimistic about Ron Paul. As President, he would actually try to shrink the federal government, and I would give him almost fanatical support.
Please take a look at Ron Paul. If you like what you see, then spread the word.
UPDATE: Not to detract from the Ron Paul meme, but here’s an article on bi-hasbians.
