Reality Check
Submitted by pahlawan on Wed, 01/09/2008 - 03:45Let us be realistic here guys. The media blackout and possible voting fraud is just too much. The internet is not strong enough. There is no way Ron Paul will be the Republican candidate. I will bet all my money in the world that he will not get into the race as the Republican candidate.
So what now? Frank Luntz, Sean Hannity working for Rupert Murdoch who reports to the Rockefellers and the Rothschild among others have destroyed Ron Paul.
I am not whining, this is the reality. I am telling you guys that the people of the world is so hoping for Ron Paul to come in to change the crazy path of America. It looks like the majority of the American people has spoken. They refused to take the red pill and have ridiculed us, RP supporters.
We have invited ourselves a whole new set of enemies as I can only see the wars being expanded after this election. This is indeed a sad day for America.
Democracy is not practiced here. Wake up people, we are just bullshitting ourselves if we think the ballot will help us get back the country. It just won't happen. I was optimistic at first but after seeing crap after crap in this election, I am sorry to say, the revolution without blood will not work here.
I am not advocating a militant campaign, I just sense that blood will be shed in the end to restore the country back to its original ideas, not now but in the near future. The US military will definitely be part of it.
For now, I hope you guys have a reality check. It is great to see so much enthusiasm here, the work rate is great, the records broken will be etched in history. Sad to say, the families will not be intimidated by us trying to play the game. Vladimir Putin chase the Oligarchs out by not portraying his true colours until he is elected.
Love the Revolution, it really saddens me to write this.
I disagree. It was just that the Dems owned the anti-war message
I disagree. If Ron Paul had stressed Internet Regulation and other crimes of John McCain he could have won in NH.
The anti-war message is no message at all. The Dems own that. Hillary got most of the anti-war vote. Yes, she voted for the war but she got most of the anti-war vote. Most anti-war people are not logical. That is what makes the topic something to not stress.
Ron Paul got most of the single male vote. He should read up on what single males want. Even if he does not win the Rep nomination, a third party run could force the Republican Party to take single males seriously in politics.
That would include:
1) Elimination of COPA: Pornography is free speech and demanding proof of age by credit card is not free speech
2) Elimination of IMBRA: Online dating must not require federally mandated background checks for participants
Believe me, if the above issues had been mentioned at all and gotten at least one news cycle, RP would have gotten at least 20% of the vote in New Hampshire. McCain would have been crucified because he is the main proponent of Internet regulation. Romney would have gone into free fall as well because he is into government regulation of males.
If you read that and think "Americans would not respond to such a libertarian message"...you would be wrong.
Men on Fox News respond heavily in favor of Marc Rudov who battles a victim feminist named Lis Wiehl in a debate on Neil Cavuto every Friday.
It is the anti-war message that nobody responds to because it is shared by all the Democrat candidates.
New Hampshire is less than 1/2 of 1% of the US population
Very few delegates have been decided.
Some of those will be given up when candidates withdraw.
Iowa and New Hampshire have not predicted the outcomes very well at all in recent history.
Dr. Paul is forth in overall popular votes, ahead of some of the anointed front-runners.
Dr. Paul has the cash on hand to be in it as long as any other Republican candidate and much longer than most.
Soon we'll get press coverage from the official FEC report because Dr. Paul out-raised all of the Republican candidates and matched the two Democratic front-runners.
We're heading into Michigan, where Dr. Paul will get most of the votes from those who would otherwise vote in the now-canceled Democratic primary.
Then we head into South Carolina and Nevada, the former where Dr. Paul first broke double digits and the latter where Dr. Paul has very strong support from a very libertarian state (not some ill-named "Live Free or Die" socialist New England state).
Pick your self up and march on, patriot.
reality check, or gut check?
I'm disappointed too, but I'm not going anywhere. This ship is still in the fight and I'm manning my station. Tomorrow I put up a 4x8 sign on a highway. Next day I'll march my city center with a RP sign (and any company I can scrounge from the ranks of my meetup).
Ronward and upward. Steady as she goes. Nobody said it was easy.

What is begun in anger, ends in shame.
NO
We can win without violence - a revolution can only exist if we continue to educate as many people we can - not about getting Ron Paul elected but about the Federal Reserve, the CRF, the NAU. We need to prepare peoples minds for when the economy collapses. Because if they are not prepared they will turn to the government and the government will offer their solution - more government, claiming that the free market has failed. We cannot let this happen.
Indeed
We have much more educational work ahead of us. People have to understand what's about to happen to them--to the economy, to their civil liberties. They have to understand who's on who's side when the shit hits the fan.
are we downhearted?
Don't be too downhearted. In politics, you win some and you lose some. To win in the long run, you have to be the little engine that could: "I think I can, I think I can!"
And, in a larger sense, you just have to focus on the need to keep standing up and speaking out. We're not beaten unless we give up hope. How about Dr. Paul serving in Congress all these years---swimming against the current, day after day and month after month? I'm sure he stays on task because of his faith, not so much in himself, but in something greater than one person's life and one person's accomplishments.
That's true of all of us---our own efforts may seem inadequate to conquer the obstacles we face. But as long as one spark of resistance still burns, the cause of freedom is not defeated.
Thomas Paine wrote: "Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered."
It is way too soon to give up . . . and many of us have no intention of ever giving up; we'll go down fighting . . . and believing that other hands will pick up the banner after ours can no longer feel to grip.
We have just begun to fight.

Agreed. It will likely take
Agreed. It will likely take a violent revolution to loose America from the grip of the international banking cartels that hold it. But that itsn't going to happen, nor should we really wish it. I had hoped that when the federal judge told Alabama they could not acknowledge God or display the Ten Commandments in their Supreme Court building back in 2002 that the south would secede and the second civil war begin, If there was a moral reason to justify rebellion, that was it. But no luck. Seems nobody believes in any thing enough anymore to truly care.
