Ron Paul's Message- Analysis, Summary, and Clarification
*The grassroots support has been wonderful and the source of all of our success. We surprised him. We've had several victories and success through the grassroots efforts. Thank You.
****"Victory in the conventional political sense in the presidential race..."
---We can no longer win the presidency... it's simply too unlikely (call me foolish but I disagree... I still think we can win).
---But we've still had some successes. *This election is just the first battle and we need to continue the revolution long after it if we want victory.
--------Essentially: Don't cry, it's just an election and we lost.
(This is contradicted twice later on, so don't freak yet).
*We're still in the early stages of bringing the changes that this revolution is all about.
----the most significant change we've had so far is the level to which the message has gotten out in the country and the world (especially with reception to young people and smart old people).
----However, it's impossible to get the message out to everyone because the country is so F*$%#@ up right now... therefore, it's better to have a small group of devoted people than a big group of 'meh' people... the numbers don't matter- aka, the election results don't matter.
Here's where is gets kinda bad...
**Let's Hope one day we can look back and say this campaign was the first step towards victory...
-----meaning: we lost this time, but maybe some day in the future....
**On to Phase 2 (whatever that is)...
-----I'm turning the effort over to you, the grassroots... it's not like I can run for president forever, and I can't really be responsible forever... besides, this needs to be more than about me (Ron Paul).
-----you guys can make the decisions... it's your revolution (still, I like Ron, and I want him as a leader....). HOWEVER, there will still be core beliefs that guide us in our planning (Does that mean he or someone else will still be around to help or just we're going to always hold onto a core set of beliefs?)
**We will continue to spread the message of liberty (but it's phrased in a way that doesn't imply the campaign, but us, as people).
******Please buy and read my new book "The Revolution: A Manifesto." It has a more detailed depiction of the ideas on Liberty and the message we need to spread... think of it as our Bible for the message...
***We need to help those who will work within the political party system. So let's support the right candidates at all levels and get good people to run. Ron has started a multi-candidate political action committee called the Liberty Pact and Free Foundation to help with this. This will also help with educating our philosophy. Other politicians don't have education and that's why their philosophy sucks. We therefore should share resources....
*******I kicked Peden's ass in the Congressional Race. It's also proof that my message is the best and will kick ass when it's understood.
: (
"The Presidential Campaign will soon wind down."
Meaning he thinks it's over or just the primaries are almost over...
BUT...
KEEP UP THE WORK TO GET AS MANY VOTES AND DELEGATES AS POSSIBLE AND WORK TO GET GOOD CAUCUS RESULTS AT STATE AND COUNTY CONVENTIONS....
however, this needs to be done by volunteers, not the campaign (but that's kind of how it's always been).
Ron will still "campaign" by visiting the remaining states.
Then he talks about the "new" phase... he doesn't specify or explain it, but says we need the financial support for it.... so I don't know if that means donate to the campaign, the grassroots efforts, or something else that hasn't happened yet....
+++Washington D.C. Rally:
-I still like the idea, BUT, for legal and practical reasons (he doesn't say what), this can't be run by the presidential campaign.... somebody else has to do it... I'll try and come... this has to be more than about me.... I think June 21st is the best date for a rally.
Then he mentions a Succeeding Organization to the Campaign.
***This means the Campaign IS ending, but something will replace it, and this will be in charge of phase 2 of the Revolution and all events from here on out.... however, don't forget we need to still try and get as many votes and delegates as possible... this new organization is the thing we're supposed to fund I assume...
------The new group will be run by the leaders of the meetup groups and other organizations associated with the campaign.
### We need educational and training meetings, but they can be done at the local level.
In closing, the world sucks right now and it's likely to get worse... It's also likely that the American Empire will fall. Also, the news has finally been reporting on the dollar crisis, meaning we have credibility and can say "We told you so."
However, this bad situation gives us an opportunity to change things...
The end.
great... this really didn't help lift my spirits as I thought it would...
Reagan lost badly...
.. in his first run for the presidency but he won the next election by a landslide. Reagan rode the coattails of the first modern traditional conservative/libertarian fusionist Barry Goldwater.
Dr. Paul is our new Goldwater. Our new Reagan, if he appears, will rise up out of the crop of Ron Paul Republicans we put into Congress and/or governorships.
I know this is uncomfortable for us to hear and accept, but go back through Dr. Paul's videos from the campaign from the earliest to the latest and notice how progressively tired and worn down he begins to look. It brings a tear to my eye... but never-the-less it is true. Dr. Paul is at the point in his life where he needs to slow down. He deserves it.
Dr. Paul has been a lonely voice in the wilderness for so many decades. Speaking loudly and defiantly to the corrupt and evil powers-that-be. Decades with practically NOBODY listening.
But now, everywhere he goes people love him, they hug him, they thank him profusely. You can see the satisfaction in his eyes and his smile!!!! (this brings a tear to my eye also)
Dr. Paul is a permanent national and international folk hero who is loved everywhere he goes! Dr. Paul is a tired but happy man and we are giving him a gift that few men ever achieve and I truly believe he never ever expected to receive in his lifetime. He was content being that one lonely voice in the wilderness.
Dr. Paul is now the official endorser and anointer of Ron Paul Republicans. He may yet wield more power this way than he ever could as President in 2008. And he will ALWAYS be loved and praised and thanked anywhere and everywhere he goes in this country and around the world from this day on.
Dr. Paul, thank you for drawing us together. Thank you for giving us this new identity where before we were wandering around all alone not knowing each other existed. Not knowing that anybody really cared anymore. Thank you for introducing my new millions of comrades to me!
Dr. Paul, you have earned the right to slow down and go at a pace that is comfortable for you. Guide us in the selection of your anointed Ron Paul Republicans and we will vote for them. Keep writing your manifesto's. And by all means keep giving Bernanke hell and making him stutter and mumble excuses and pass the blame on to someone else. ;-)
I don't hug guys as a rule but I'd hug Dr. Paul. He is our one-and-only TRUE Great American Superhero....
It's Early & I Haven't Set Down To Analyze This Yet -- BUT
Vote RON PAUL 2008
____________
5:00 am. When I turned on the computer this morning there was headline news on my screen telling me that RP may be quitting the race. I thought to myself, yeah, they wish; then I flipped the switch and went looking elsewhere for news and discovered about 11 different news articles claiming basically the same damn thing. What?
No news on this great man, nearly none at all, for all this time and then wind has it he might be quitting the race and suddenly the reports fall from the sky like a rain storm. Now what does something like that truly mean? I'm talking to myself here because I haven't read one of those damn articles -- I will come here and check first, as I've done, then I'll go look for video and actual reports from RON PAUL himself in this regard.
What's going on folks? Please let this be nothing more than MSM doing their psyops thing and RP is still our driving force for change in this country of ours. Don't let this be true, what they say -- nothing else they say is true so why should this be?
Vote RP 2008
Vote RON PAUL 2008
A No Excuses Campaign
The choice is down to 2 candidates. No more crowded field. No more "*insert non-McCain candidate here* has a better chance than Dr. Paul". The Republican voter must be shown that stark contrast between the RINO and true conservative. They have no excuse for voting for McCain and they need to be shown that.
If they say that they are voting for McCain because he is winning, show them that this is not an excuse. If Hitler was running against Geoge Washington, and Hitler was winning, would you vote for Hitler just because he is winning? Besides, if McCain is winning, then he doesn't need their vote. Show them that they should vote for who they believe is better, not who is winning.
And if they say they are voting for McCain because he has the best chance the Democrats, show them that this is not an excuse. McCain is as liberal as the Democrats, with the exception that he is vocally for the war. So long as the majority of the American people want an end to the war, they'll see the Democrats as the very means to that end. McCain would lose against a Democrat this year.
And if they say they are voting for McCain because he is a true republican, try not to laugh.
And if they say they won't vote for Dr. Paul because he's against the war, show them all the reasons why they should be against the war, too.
And if they say they won't vote for Dr. Paul because he wants to cut government programs, show them why this is a really good thing.
And if they say they won't vote for Dr. Paul because he is not a true republican, re-educate them as to what a real republican believes in.
Whatever excuses they have for voting for McCain, show them that they have none. Whatever excuses they have for not voting for Dr. Paul, show them that they have none.
It's down to 2. There is just no excuse any more.
DP is really quiet tonight.
Is everybody in a coma after hearing the message?I don't know what to think.I can understand why he doesn't want to be involved with the DC march.
If something went wrong, it would be his fault and a lot could go wrong!
lol
Thank goodness this is mostly just your interpretation. Good work. How in the world did you do that at this hour?? I am too tired to respond, but suffice it to say that your interpretations got more dejected as you went through it, so go to sleep and come back with renewed determination tomorrow. I think Dr. Paul is saying that, "Everyone in Washington is pushing me to quit, are you guys going to allow that to happen???? My answer is "Not no, but HELL NO." Donate and work. It is not done yet.
I know, I'm all depressed
I know, I'm all depressed now... I tried to be funny to keep my spirits up... I should just go to bed... I'm too pessimistic right now.
