Ron Paul Revisted

Category: PoliticsWilliam McGill @ 1:25 am

Ron Paul took in over 10% Thursday at the Iowa caucus. That’s better than both Carter and Clinton did during their primaries. I use those two as examples not because they are Democrats, but because they both won the presidency!!

Anyone care to wager on who gets the White House? I say Hillary and Obama get the Democratic nomination (Hillary being President and Obama going on as the VP), and Ron Paul, after many scandals and voting machine errors, gets the Republican nomination only to be deep sixed Bhutto-style before he’s ever able to rip one on the Commander-in-Chief’s seat.

How’s $10 dollars on any one of those. You can bet the powers that be won’t go quietly. Much like those Bhutto was threatening to dethrone. And for what?! Power? Greed? The only person we can truly control is ourself, and we surly can’t take anything with us from this temporary physical world. Why does the word ancient suddenly come to mind. ;)

I’m praying that I’m wrong and instead the people in this country begin to see what is wrong with this country, and get off their lazy asses to do something about it. I’m talking get up and do something for someone other than themselves. Myself included!

Anyway, all that being said, I think Ron Paul has a definite shot at this and I encourage any of you who haven’t taken a serious look at him to do so.

I received the following email today which prompted me to write my plea to all the voters out there in these United States of America :

Yesterday was a remarkable day for Ron Paul, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. For those of you who haven’t yet heard, Ron Paul took over 10% in yesterday’s Iowa caucus, handily beating Rudy Giuliani and finishing right behind both Fred Thompson and John McCain. This despite that Rudy Giuliani made more visits to Iowa than Ron Paul. And, entrance polls showed that Ron Paul took first place (29%) among independent Republicans!

This campaign is just beginning, and we are starting off better than anyone in the “mainstream” media imagined.

Back in February 2007, no one gave Ron Paul any chance to succeed in this race. Ron Paul did not have the name recognition of other candidates, nor the financial resources. Essentially, Ron Paul started at a level of 0% in all 50 states.

But then, as we know, something started to happen. Americans started to hear this message of freedom, and began to galvanize behind the cause. It’s no small feat that we brought in 10% yesterday in Iowa, a double-digit turnout that has brought a lot of commentary – even from Fox News!

Just last night, Greta van Sustern had this to say:

Ten per cent is not insignificant – that’s a huge number. Here you have a candidate that 10 per cent of the people caucused in his party really want him and it’s not like he’s an insignificant player. He didn’t just drop in yesterday to the process, he has been running for president for a long time, and certainly many of the issues he’s raised are rather provocative and certainly stimulate the debate; that’s not a bad thing.

This election is just getting started. It’s time to mobilize and do what needs to be done. It’s time to win the most important election of our lifetime.

We can only compete in the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses with your continued support. Help us keep this momentum going with your most generous donation today: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.
