Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Could Win
Ron Paul Could Win by Eliminating So-Called Frontrunners One by One
Guiliani received only three percent of the vote in Iowa caucuses, compared to Paul's 10 percent. Thompson received only one percent in the New Hampshire primary, compared to Paul's eight percent. Thompson was only ahead of Paul by three percent in Iowa, and Guiliani could only generate one percent more than Paul in New Hampshire.
These two so-called "frontrunners," who were lavished with media attention, debate invitations and predictions of victory, couldn't even muster the votes to consistently defeat the long-shot, dark-horse, libertarian-Republican candidate whom the media says cannot win.
If Ron Paul can similarly humiliate Sen. John McCain in Nevada, South Carolina or Michigan, he will destroy McCain's already shaky viability and credibility.
This is a realistic scenario because Ron Paul has more money than McCain. In recent months, Paul has raised more money than any other candidate, Republican or Democrat.
Since 2006, there have been a dozen or more Republicans running for president - Paul has already proven himself a survivor and contender by lasting this long.
He has begun to overcome the disadvantage of a skeptical media and, in fact, has turned media inattention to his advantage. Paul was granted many interviews on national TV news programs to talk about his exclusion from the Fox News Channel's New Hampshire debates. It was the out-of-touch state of America's media that fueled Paul's initial popularity on the Internet.
If these trends continue - raising record amounts of money, defeating so-called 'frontrunners,' gaining ever more media attention - then it is quite possible that Ron Paul could win the Republican nomination. With the momentum he would gain from such a GOP victory, he could sweep to the presidency over Barack or Hillary.
Who better than Ron "Dr. No" Paul to provide a clear contrast to the big-government, tax-and-spend, inflation-as-policy programs of the Democrats, whomever they nominate?
Not since the 1964 candidacy of libertarian-Republican Barry Goldwater have Americans had such a clear opportunity to return our governance to the Constitution, sound fiscal and foreign policies, non-interventionism and justice for the individual.
President Ron Paul - it has a nice ring to it.

Post a CommentRon Pails ideas are foolish and flaud. The Founding Fathers themselves said the country would need to address new challenges, even if it meant changing the Constitution in one way or the other. They didnt want the Consitution or any other part of the Union to get in the way of addressing new challenges. Sad to say for Paul, but the world has changed a little since the 18th century. Aside from that, Paul wont win the party nomination, evangelicals are smarter than the party lets us to believe.
Just returned from the Las Vegas Paulapalooza (1/12/08) - great day!
The parade of Ron Paul supporters stretched more than a half-mile. Lots of enthusiasm. Lots of noise. Lots of flags and signs. Lots of honks from passing cars. Lots of literature given out (the guys on sidewalks didn't hand us their tittie-photo-cards, but got handed Ron Paul literature instead). Lots of fun.
A half-dozen staff cars plastered with Ron Paul signs kept pace with us as we walked and added to the honking, the noise and the celebration.
Prior to theparade, I sat at a red light listening to a jeep next to me honking - turning to him, the driver gave me a big thumbs-up for the RonPaul2008 sign in my rear window. 'Hopefully we can get our freedom back!' he yelled.
The times they are a changin'.
It's a nice thought.
I'm advocating a boycott of fox advertisers for fox's blatant undermining of our democracy. Don't buy stuff advertised on fox and send a letter and/or call their corporate offices to tell them why. If we can get a few major sponsors to drop, that's a lot of publicity and a lot of money lost for fox.
Also, go to: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2kvlnkLzBHM for an original song and video, "Ron Paul for Freedom!" :)
It's going to be a tough fight for Paul, but I believe in him and his Ideas. I suspect there are many others that do as well. If the GOP wants to maintain a chance of wining the general election they better take a good look at Ron Paul and embrace him not ostracize and marginalize him.
