Please dear Lord, let this NOT be the previous Tpaul or close to.This is my first post on this message board...Glad to be here contributing, by the way...
I just wanted to comment on this post of yours, though.
You sound as though you support Ron Paul, and his position, but yet you advocate a defeatist position because you feel as though that because he's the one REAL candidate on the ballot, he has no chance?
You would giev away your vote to someone else, based on the thought that the person you TRUELY support probably wouldn't win?
So then how has your voice really been heard, then? Imagine 20 million other people who think just like that, who would potentially throw away their vote because they all thought the person they really supported had "no chance"? That could be the difference in whether or not that person would have actually been elected.
Ron Paul's popularity is gaining incredible momentum as the days go on...he beats all the so-called "front runners" in just about every online poll. I have a hard time believing that he can be that popular among millions of people online, but supposedly be a nobody in the mainstream polls.
The man gets up there and says what no other politician has the balls to say. Basically he acknowledges the pink elephant in the room that everyone else is ignoring.
If i am wrong in my perception of your post, please correct me. I just get very disheartened by the fact that people think they can't create a change. This is OUR country! Not the corporations that contribute to the men we're all SUPPOSED to be exposed to. You can sense a fear among the mainstream talking heads and pundits about Ron Paul.
His position speaks for itself. I would be throwing molotov cocktails at soldiers everyday here in this country if some foreign invading force came to occupy it, and kill my fellow citizens without remorse while doing so.
Do i advocate hijacking planes and going on suicide missions against the US? No. Do i understand why they have so much anomosity towards us? Yes.
Our government calls them "islamofascists", which doesn't even make any sense. How could any of the countries we consider to be the axis of evil, be considered "fascist" by definition? The current system of government in the United States represents fascism way more so then any islamic country that we currently deem hostile to our interests.
Ron Paul is the only one conveying this type of message. The only reason i can see people being leery about this man is that they don't feel he has an idea of how to defend the nation, because they misinterpret him on his foreign policy. Why not start by loosening our grip on the proverbial ballsacks of the middle eastern nations we haev intruded upon with our military presence? We have the most powerful military in the world...we should be quite capable of defending ourselves here at home without having to shove our guns down other countries' throats.
