Ron Paul Revolution - Let Your Light Shine

You can't drive more than 50 miles on a highway in Northeast Georgia without seeing a "Ron Paul Revolution" sign attached to a fence, a pole, or an overpass. Ron Paul Army shows its minions several ways to support Ron Paul, without spending a bunch of money. The Internet LOVES Ron Paul.

There is no doubt that supporters of Dr. Ron Paul are fervent in their support. Supporters of Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, and even Barack Obama don't have 1/2 the passion for their candidate that Congressman Paul has.

These supporters know that the mainstream media is against their candidate, yet they persist. The fact that the mainstream media ignores Dr. Paul only fuels the fires that his supporters have created.

Most of his supporters know that the mainstream media does not report the news, and the fact that Congressman Paul is all but ignored, is a plus in the minds of many of his "revolutionaries".

Ron Paul is only one candidate. He will likely not win the Republican nomination, and has stated he will not run as an independent candidate in the general election. When he is officially out of the race, will the Ron Paul Revolution die?

I think not. What Ron Paul has done is create an awareness of a Democratic-Republican run disaster that is our official foreign and domestic policy. We spend too much money at home and abroad, and are creating a reliance on government. Reliance on the government is like being addicted to crack-cocaine, crystal meth and heroine at the same time. The federal government has become our country's dealer, and demand only drives the prices up.

To me, Ron Paul represents the best hope of getting libertarian ideals to the masses. Even if he doesn't win, I believe his movement will continue to grow.

Many Americans have seen the light. They've finally realized that the Democratic-Republican party is only a choice between gay marriage, the decorating parameters for government walls, and who will fund our demise. Reliance on Government is not a choice, if you're only aware of the Democrat and Republican parties.

This is why the followers of Paul work so hard to let their light shine. To most people, its not even about Ron Paul. Its what he represents that have potential voters willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.

So, if this is your first time reading my blog, understand I am not just a supporter of Ron Paul. I am a supporter of the Constitution, a humble foreign policy that does not try to dictate our values to other cultures (let alone our own), and a government that is afraid of the American people and not the other way around.

If Ron Paul withdraws from the 08 election tomorrow, I will still be here to shine the light of liberty, and give my hell to the Democratic-Republican party. I will use my keyboard to do my part to make sure that the libertarian ideals that have drawn so many people to Ron Paul, grows for our future. This is my role, and I hope I'm one of the many who do this and take other actions to get the word out that we CAN take our government back.

What am I going to do with this little light of mine?

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Can Ron Paul Get Elected?

Buy Ron Paul stuff on Amazon


This is a tough question. The optimist in me wants to say: "The American people are starting to see the light, and Ron Paul can help America start to turn the tide".

The Pessimist part of me keeps saying: "He can't win because he doesn't have a fair shake. He doesn't have the p.r. machine, or the money to buy ads, so he can't get his message out".

I'd love to help get Ron Paul nominated for the Republican ticket. That would be optimal.

But because I fear this to be, at this point at least, unlikely I have decided to institute a three chance strategy to help Dr. Paul get more attention, and eventually nominated on a ticket that can compete, at least enough to get enough attention to continue the cause. I'd like to briefly outline this strategy

Vote for Ron Paul in your Republican primaries

1) I will likely vote for Ron Paul in my state's primary. I will also attempt to convince as many readers and friends to do the same. As I mentioned before, this is the optimal situation, though the least likely.

But the more people who learn about Ron Paul through his affiliation with the Republican Party, the more people who will likely follow him (or recruit him, as may need to be the case) to the next chance.

Draft Ron Paul to accept the Libertarian nomination

2) I believe that the Libertarian Party would welcome another Ron Paul Presidential run. He'd bring a lot of attention to the party, and have the best chance to really compete ever. This would be great for the Libertarian Party, and even though Ron Paul has said he's not interested in doing this, its going to be hard for many of his supporters to give up and support Giuliani or Clinton if he's not the nominee. Many of us see that this is not just a Ron Paul Revolution, but an attempt by the people to re-establish control of the government.

Nominate Ron Paul to the Unity 08 ticket

3) I am a founding delegate of Unity 08. If you are not familiar with what Unity 08 is, visit their website. To summarize, the delegates will nominate a Republican and a Democrat to represent the ticket via an online vote. If the winner accepts the nomination, they will be given the ticket's support for the campaign. I feel that if the people who followed him from either the GOP or the LP joined Unity 08, and voted for him in the online nomination process, we could form a powerful block, and shape the ticket to really have a chance to change the way things are run in Washington DC.

So I know, I'm trying to think 3 steps ahead of a process that really hasn't gone into full-speed mode yet. The fact of the matter is, if you support Ron Paul, and are not willing to take no by the GOP for an answer, its time to start thinking about what's next. Vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primary in your state, and tell people to do the same.

Just don't put all of your eggs into a basket that is as badly made as the GOP.

Ron Paul And The Fair Tax: Can I support both?

So, as you can see, I'm both a fan of Ron Paul, and The Fair Tax.

But does Ron Paul Support the Fair tax?

Actually, it appears that there is not a clear answer to this. He has suggested that he would vote for the Fair Tax if brought to a vote on the house floor, but he does not think its the best possible solution either.

I can understand his position actually. The fair tax would not reduce government income. Those reductions would have to come later.

One of the main problems I have with the Fair Tax, is that it is inclusive. I want people to see how much tax they pay.

For me, the situation is simple. I do not support all of Ron Paul's positions, but that doesn't mean I can't support him. He may indeed be the President that would sign the Fair Tax law, something no candidate (except Mike Gravel) is offering to make a priority, and I'm sure he'd be more likely to force Congress to cut spending than any other major candidate in the race.

Ron Paul is the best chance we have to start to take our government back. If that means the Fair Tax has to wait another 5 years, I'll make that trade and not think twice.

Of course, both would be nice

Republicans for Hilary: Wasting your vote for the good of our country

What if Republican voters in states that allow open primaries went to the polls to vote for John Edwards?

Or Barak Obama?

What if they went in droves to vote for her to head the Democratic ticket?

As I've stated many times, she's the only way the Republicans can win in 2008, and Republicans have known this for some time.

They've done this before, perhaps on a smaller scale. A few years ago, the Republican party made a deal with Denise Magette to allow her to run unopposed in the general election after many Republicans crossed the aisle to vote against Cynthia McKinney.

I've made it known that this plan will backfire.

It may however create an opening for someone like Ron Paul. Ron Paul is one of the few Republican candidates who is a great deal more conservative than Senator Clinton.

So, as a supporter of independent candidates, Ron Paul, and Unity 08, I say to all good Republicans who don't like to think about the issues, and easily fall for the deamonization of the "other side", go out and do your part. Vote for Hillary Clinton in your local primary.

If you are going to be stupid enough to fall for this "Hitlery" bull-poop (she's more conservative than Rudy Giuliani for heavan's sake), you deserve to waste your vote, which in turn will give those of us who are really trying to change our government that much more power.

Ron Paul: No More GOP Debates Please!!

After much consideration, I have developed the opinion that Ron Paul should no longer be allowed to participate in any further Republican Debates He does not belong on stage with the rest of the field.

That's right, I said it, and I stand behind the statement.

I mean, should the Republicans allow Mike Gravel to debate with the serious GOP candidates? I think not. He's a Democrat, for heaven's sake

Well, Ron Paul is a Libertarian. He even ran for President as the LP candidate in 1998.

I've said several times that if Dr. Paul does not win the GOP nomination, he'd run as the Libertarian nominee. Until recently, I fully felt that my prediction would come to fruition.

But what about Unity08?

I've blogged about this "non" party before. Sometimes I wonder how serious the Libertarian Party is about getting major candidates elected. Or at least noticed.

Either way, I believe its time that Dr. Paul admit he's not a Republican. Or at least what other people think about when they think about Republicans.

I understand what Representative Ron Paul is doing. He's trying to fight the party from within. Its not working Dr. Paul. On my radio show, even the Republican co-host didn't really know much about Ron Paul's ideas. And he's generally well-informed.

Dr. Paul is not going to be able to continue to get his message out to possible Republican Voters. He's tapped that market. Its time to move on to the next.

Organize libertarians Dr. Paul. We are going to support you!! Many of us who are cautious about supporting a Republican candidate want to spread your message. Liberty Liberty Liberty. Its all about the liberty.

We get you Rep. Paul... Now help us get you support.

RNC for Hillary Clinton:

I have been aware of the RNC's almost overt strategy to force the Democratic party's Presidential nomination onto Senator Hillary Clinton for some time now. Its getting more intense as we count the days until November 2008.

The strategy is obvious, and the tactical operations are already under way. There are signs all over Atlanta (paid for by the local radio station) blasting Senator Clinton while advertising for Shawn Hannity's radio show.

The RNC understands that Senator Clinton is their best chance to get any Republican elected in 2008. They need her, and they need her to be successful.

With Democratic nominee Clinton, the Republicans think they have the perfect storm setup to keep control of the White House, and re-assume control of both houses of Congress.

The Republicans will be able to appeal to their base (conservatives who are anti-Clinton to the core), and with Mitt Romney or Rudolph Giuliani (or Newt Gingrich, as I have predicted) as the Republican nominee and their base secured, they can make a b-line toward the center of American Politics.

You remember the center, right? The center elected George W. Bush President. The center also put the Democrats back in charge at the beginning of this year.

With the base energized, and the center in your corner (believe me, the Republican nominee will be hopping a jet plane to the center as soon as he can), you cant loose.

This is going to backfire on the Republican Party, and the result could likely be a 2nd Clinton Administration.

You see, the center is starting to wake up. The center is beginning to understand what both the Republican and Democratic parties are all about. They are about whatever it takes to win an election. They are about using fear (of a Clinton Presidency for the right, and Iraq for the left) to maintain a strangle hold on power.

Neither party has been about governing for quite some time.

We are going to have a major 3rd party candidate this year. Whether it be Ron Paul, Michael Bloomberg, George Phillies or someone else, it is inevitable. And it will affect the outcome of the election. This 3rd way will divide the center into 3 separate but unequal blocks of voters. Check out those first two names. Do you really think either one of them are going to take votes from Hillary Clinton?

The RNC is firing up their base. But they're also firing up Senator Clinton's base, and getting her votes. The cente-left is going to vote for Senator Clinton if she's nominated. Because of Iraq (it doesn't make sense, I know, but I'm not wrong), and the Bush Administration's incompetence to govern (this one makes complete sense to me.) The center-right is going to either not vote (because they don't think they have a choice) or vote for the 3rd party candidate.

I do not support Senator Clinton because of her policy ideas. I do not believe government health care is wise, nor do I think that throwing more money into the educational system that needs a total overhaul to be in the best interest of our country. I don't call her names because I understand her positions, and that is reason enough for me not to support her. I don't think she's Hitler. I just think she's wrong.

But the RNC is going to get Hillary Clinton elected President of the United States. So remember the next time you throw the word "libtard" or "Hitlery" into your comment to Doc Jay's blog that you probably just helped give Hillary Clinton one more vote.

That's why I'm blaming you when she takes the oath. Not the liberals. Not the 3rd party voters. Not Hillary Clinton. At least she's smart enough to realize what's going on and embrace it.

That shows a political shrewdness of the highest order, and I think we can thank the most conservative President since Richard Nixon (I'm talking about Bill Clinton) for seeing it, and taking advantage of the RNC strategy.

After all, it worked for him twice, didn't it?

Here Comes Ron Paul

Ladies and Gentlemen of the American jury,

The Republican party is not the conservative party anymore. Senator Barry Goldwater started the modern conservative movement, and you'd think it was dead if you only paid attention to the mainstream media.

But then out of nowhere, here comes Ron Paul

I'm a Libertarian, so I doubt I'll vote for the Republican nominee for President. Unless Ron Paul is nominated, that is.

Folks, as I've said before, Ron Paul appears to be the real deal. Now, he doesn't support The Fair Tax (which I do,) but other than that, we appear to be on the same wavelength. He's a "don't tread on me" libertarian if I've ever seen one that has experience in Washington, and a honest-to-god true conservative. He wants the government out of your life (and mine too!!), and he's serious about it.

By most polling accounts, Ron Paul has won both debates thus far. Yet he still doesn't get the attention he deserves. That's because the Republican Party Leadership doesn't want him to win.

Why should they? They'd loose almost all of their power to run your daily life.

If you are a Republican and you don't nominate Ron Paul, then the Libertarian Party will.

If that happens, it doesn't matter who you nominate. Your candidate won't win. You think Ross Parot caused a stink when he took votes away from the Grand Old Party?

Wait until you see what Ron Paul can do.
