It’s quite likely that this blog is going to morph into a Ron Paul endorsement fest pretty soon.
I will make no apologies for that: Of all the candidates running in the primaries, Democrat and Republican, Ron Paul is head and shoulders above everybody else when it comes to the 2nd amendment. That’s sort of my pet issue.
I know he’s a long shot in most folks minds. I expected his campaign to fizzle out in the exploratory phase. I really did. But it didn’t. He kept chugging along, momentum grew, and suddenly he’s so popular in the internet that nobody can run a poll without getting smashed with Ron Paul supporters.
While I took comfort in knowing that there were legions of people that liked the same guy I did I wrote it off: Internet fan boys do not win elections.
Then the fund raising drives started. Ron Paul was bringing in cash. Not huge amounts, but respectable amounts, and he wasn’t spending it all like a drunken sailor either. It was obvious that he was building up his war chest.
Then the Q3 results came out: Ron Paul got 5.6 million dollars in this last quarter. I believe that puts him in the #3 spot for Republicans with cash in hand to wage a campaign. Of that 5.6 million dollars guess how much was from corporate donations? It’s less than $7,000. The Ron Paul crowd isn’t just hitting every online poll they can find, they’re putting their money where their mouth is. Myself included.
The Ron Paul campaign isn’t just reaching out to Republicans that are unsatisfied, or disgusted, with the neoconservative movement. He’s reaching a portion of the population that never had an interest in politics before.
He’s different, and he’s just different enough that I think if he gets the Republican nomination he stands a good chance of winning the general election.
Thanks for supporting Dr. Paul.
His campaign is most likely the last chance for America to correct itself before the ship rolls over. The biggest news of the week for me was hearing the audio chip of Dr. Henry Kissinger stateing that a new order would be established most likely by the end of this administration or at the latest the beginning of the next presidents term.
Fellow citizens, that means life as you know it will end, the old order must pass to let in the new order.
Thank you for your support of Dr. Paul my friend!
You make good points about him reaching the serious Americans who just couldn’t waste time supporting lesser evils! Mr. Simmons paints an accurate and scary picture of the Ship of State, too! As an Insider, Kissinger knows their plans for the North American Union, etc., but I missed the sound bite.
Thanks to both of you! We’ve got to win. More than that, we have to give President Paul a majority of Constitutionalists in Congress!
It’s a shame the NeoCons are running the show in the Republican party basically on the issues of family values, religion, and other social agenda. They indeed sold their own freedom the moment they decided to try pushing their views on others through law. Ron Paul won’t get teh nomination because he isn’t willing to make unconstitutional law to further a personal agenda … and that is exactly what the NeoCons intend to continue doing with our system.
