Nader's In, So How About Paul?

Ron and Ralph Fool's Overture. History recalls how great the fall can be, while everybody's sleeping the boats put out to sea. Borne on the wings of time, it seemed the answers were so easy to find. "Too late" the prophets cry, the island's sinking let's take to the sky. Called the man a fool, stripped him of his pride, everyone was laughing up until the day he died. And though the wound went deep, still he's calling us out of our sleep.
Apocalypse Now

You're so right to be exploring what these 2 prophets crying out in the wilderness are saying. Where do far left and far right circle around to meet? Both are men of principle who can counter the current madness.
I'm sad to read that Obama was unwilling to meet with Nader. Is it to late? As I dream on, I imagine either of Nader or Paul accepting a significant position in an Obama government, and being able to speak out freely there.

The above article suggest that Nader and Paul waste our time. Great idea dude. I suggest you take yr resources and waste them on trivializing pursuits as well. If it works for you let us know.
The truth is the movement goes on.
Another major effort that is taking place within the Ron Paul Revolution is the March on DC. Ron Paul is encouraging all of us to show our support for his campaign and for Liberty by uniting in a show of numbers in Washington DC. http://www.ronpaulmarch.com/
The media is ignoring this, perhaps afraid to add fuel to the fire.
But like it or not reality does not depend on media reports. Millions of Americans have seen the truth. We know that Dr Paul has the cure and that Obama is a sellout for sure.

This country, which I spent 23 years defending, has really sunk to a new low.With the exception o Dr. Paul, every canidate running for the office of President, has violated his or her oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic, in fact they are the enemy. This bunch of U.N. loving, leftists,anti-American liberals are determined to join us under the One World Banner. Dr. Paul is the only voice of reason out there.
No, he can't win. The deck is stacked against him and the pundits refuse to even discuss his record in congress, what he is saying and has been saying from day one and his sterling integrity. But the Movement will continue ! Oh yes the Movement will continue...

When someone takes the OATH of office, they swear to uphold the Constitution. That said, with the exception of Ron Paul, all of them are liars. If you KNOW he or she is a liar when they are being sworn in, what makes you think they wll change their spots. If you don't intend to uphold the Constitution yourself you will get what we got.
Think of it, out of 300,000,000 people, Ron Paul is the only one entitled to the job. The rabble we narrowed down to are all liars. That they're even given conisderation, is an indicment against us. President!! UGH.

Honesty in the home, workplace,etc. It's getting to where you can't tell who is lying to you. I know I used to think I was a pretty good judge of character, but I have worked for some really good liers. Anything for that almighty buck is what I see more often than I care for...McCain is so dishonest it's scary, very scary! Just look at his eyes...there's nothing there! Certainly no compassion...

I still have to chuckle at how the mainstream media refuses to accept the fact that as time passes, more and more people are going to have the same epiphany that I had a few weeks ago. It was then I realized how manipulated we all have been by all the "journalists" and their management and the pharmaceutical companies, their lobbyists and other big business folks who write the paychecks. It is the network news that is so busily engaged in selling us our next president that makes me feel the most nauseated. The fact that in todays America their would be a need for the "news" to have to promote McCain, Obama and Hillary and not even mention an honest man like Dr. Ron Paul, really disturbs me to no end. Two of these most promoted candidates have really questionable backgrounds that eveyone seems to forget all about and the third is still wet behind the ears, so nobody is able to draw any real conclusions about from where he draws his power and support. These are questions everyone should be asking themselves. They are all members of the 'Council on Foreign Relations' who are pushing this "new world order/globalization" crap and NAFTA, that has a history of putting thousands of U.S. workers out of jobs and pensions. The fact that the majority of people in this country are so stupid that they are incapable of seeing what 'blind-siding' tactics are occurring all around them, is truly pathetic. As I've gotten older and have a much longer view into my rear-view-mirror of life, I am now able to see how the cold-war education in our public schools has affected what we collectively think. We are slowly heading toward an Orwellian existence in our great land and while it's happening, the masses are smiling blissfully with the reflection of ignorance. In the meantime, I feel it is nothing short of criminal for the media to snub any presidential candidate. It is the right of all Americans to know what is happening all around them.

Most of Ron Paul's supporters, like myself, do not have illusions about his chances at this point. But, to be true to the message, we plan to continue promoting the ideas that Ron Paul has so wonderfully embodied. To borrow a line from Winston Churchhill, "This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning."
Of course Churchhill was making this statement in the context of a war that all Britians wanted over... Victory will come for the Ron Paul revolution when the message overcomes the ignorance and apathy that the status quo (including the traditional media outlets) has done it's best (knowingly or unknowingly) to perpetuate. I am 44 years old. There is a large number of young people who I know personally and can influence. I urge all Ron Paul supporters to use whatever influence you have to educate the young people in this nation about the Ron Paul revolution.
Young people, by nature, like to buck the status quo. The amazing thing is that by rebelling against "politics as ussual", they will actually be returning to more historical, orthodox views of:
-The proper role of government
-The importance and wisdom of the Constitution
-Fiscal responsiblity and balanced budgets
-The nature of liberty...both its fruits as well as its demands and responsibilities
As an American it amazes me that we've let things get so distorted and out of hand that many of us think Ron Paul's message is radical or 'crazy'... How amazing! The man simply wants our government to abide by its supreme law, The Constitution, and people think he's mad.
Hard times are ahead of us. I think hard times are exactly what it will take to wake us from our stupor. And when they come, teach the young about what happened to get us there, as well as what it will take to restore the Republic.
I support the revolution!
