The Untouchable, Unstoppable Ron Paul
Dana Gabriel | July 9, 2007
First
they tried to ignore him, then they tried to embarrass him, and now the
attack dogs are out in full- force. In a desperate attempt they are
trying to dig up any dirt from his past, but Ron Paul doesn't have any
skeletons in his closet. He is a model of consistency, which can't be
said for most politicians. The hit pieces are mounting, and many are
trying to misrepresent him and his message, but to no avail. You must
be doing something right when you are getting attacked from all sides.
If Ron Paul has no chance of winning and he is nothing more then a
second-tier candidate, as many are suggesting, why is there such a
concerted effort to discredit and silence him?
Ron
Paul is a threat to the establishment, to the Republicans and
Democrats, and to this whole fake paradigm. A transformation is taking
place, and he represents the common-sense revolution. Many in the
anti-war movement who supported the Democrats and helped them gain
control of the Senate and Congress now feel betrayed. He is restoring
hope to those who have given up on the political process and his
passion for freedom has many gravitating to his campaign. He is the
only one out of the Republican presidential candidates who opposed the
Iraq war. He favors a humble foreign policy and wishes to spread
democracy by setting a good example-- one that other countries will
want to emulate. The good doctor prescribes a restoration of the
constitution, and his message of liberty, limited government, lower
taxes, and preserving American sovereignty is resonating with many
voters.
Recently,
Ron Paul was not invited to participate in a Republican candidate's
forum in Iowa. The event was co-sponsored by the Iowans for Tax Relief.
Something didn't seem right-- after all, Dr. Paul has never voted to
raise taxes. It then came out that one of the key organizers was active
in the sinking ship that is now the John McCain campaign. What a
contrast to Ron Paul, who has momentum and is a candidate on the rise.
Something had to be done to try and slow him down. Ron Paul stated,
“It's the control by the political establishment to want to exclude the
viewpoints, which many people consider telling the truth.” He went on
to say, “But there is a limit as to how much they can do to silence
us.” He was right, and instead of hanging his head down and feeling
sorry for himself, he did something about it. A rally was held in the
same venue as the forum and Ron Paul outdrew all the other candidates
combined. Talk about something blowing up in your face.
Ron
Paul is running for president because he loves this country and wishes
to save it. He is very approachable and makes himself available to
everyone. He represents ordinary middle class Americans, those in the
anti-war movement, freedom lovers, and those sick of big government
corruption. Republicans, democrats, libertarians and independents;
there is room for all in the Ron Paul tent. His message is such a
contrast to the bought and paid-for candidates, and that's what makes
the dynamics of his campaign so exciting and refreshing. Does he have a
chance of winning? I believe so, but even if he didn't, supporting him
is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, many have to be associated
with one of the media-chosen front runner candidates, as it empowers
them. They feel they have to be on the winning team and choose between
the lesser of the evils. This time we don't have to--we have the right
man with the right message.
The attacks on Ron
Paul are becoming more frequent as the mainstream media and some of the
other candidates put a negative spin on his campaign. There is an
effort to downplay all his accomplishments. This includes his huge
internet presence, the fact that he has won several on-line polls, and
the success of his rally in Iowa. When reporting they refer to his
campaign as doomed and say that he is little known outside of Texas,
with no chance of winning. This is the underdog story the media usually
loves to report on. They have exposed themselves and by continuing to
attack him this will only bring more people to our side.
His
detractors in the mainstream media and some in his own party might have
thought that Ron Paul was going to be a pushover and just fade away
into obscurity, never to be heard from again. To the contrary, he is in
this fight to win, and the lesson is to never underestimate your
opponent. This serious miscalculation could very well come back and
bite them. Ron Paul is doing something revolutionary in the sense that
he is speaking the truth, and the people are ready to listen. This race
to the White House isn't over by a long shot. Ron Paul isn't about to
throw in the towel. The longer he stays in this race the more people
his message will reach. We are on the verge of something big, and we
all have a chance to make history.
Be a part of something in the here and now.
