Why Ron Paul's letter is straight out of Sun Tzu's Art of War. (We can still win the nomination!)

Posted February 9th, 2008 by foontala

A minority claiming to be in the Republican party have attacked Dr. Paul by launching a congressional run against him in his own district! I’m convinced the people responsible are a gross minority of the party.

Dr. Paul letter is saying that he is a true Republican, and he will continue to fight for the presidency and his congressional district, despite all of the outrageous bias and attacks from the minority; both locally and nationally!

There’s more to it too. Remember, Ron Paul is very smart.

===========================================
Sun Tzu’s Art of War
===========================================
16. Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may
be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all;
amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head
or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat.

17. Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline,
simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness
postulates strength.

18. Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is
simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under
a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy;
masking strength with weakness is to be effected
by tactical dispositions.

19. Thus one who is skillful at keeping the enemy
on the move maintains deceitful appearances, according to
which the enemy will act. He sacrifices something,
that the enemy may snatch at it.

20. By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march;
then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him.

===========================================

Dr. Paul is performing the art of war perfectly, but he still needs your help! Instead of talking to each other on these blogs, we need to go and take this message to popular youtube videos and digg.

Then we can help get the word to the 15 MILLION Ron Paul supporters!

(PS Lookout for Dr. Paul to do well in the caucuses today right? Wasn’t that what you were thinking all along anyway?)

I haven't read the Art of War in a very long time. Excellent points about strategy--Dr. Paul is very smart. This isn't over yet.

Who must realize this is probably the last chance he will have to bring these ideas to the oval office ... For all intents and purposes, this might be his last big campaign. I wouldn't expect him to bow out without executing a few tricks. Even though I'm sure this campaign has been hard on him, there must be a part of him that relishes the strategy of it all. I don't know if it's true, but I love the idea of it. The republicans have tried all sorts of dirty tricks against him in his congressional district: including slander, gerrymandering, and even getting democrats to run against him as republicans.....And Dr. Paul has seen it all and beat them all. You don't run against the establishment and win 10 times by just being an honest man, you also have to be shrewd.

Thanks for the post.

The other interesting thing

On February 9th, 2008 lauriem says:

is Don Luskin switching to McCain and he continues parroting/lip service to RP ideas on the economy: This ripens the mainstream public-exposes them to these ideas/concepts. They will be more than ready to listen to RP in the next few months,perhaps....

Funny if that was the plan....

Ron's going back to Texas

On February 9th, 2008 zooamerica says:

Ron's going back to Texas for 2 reasons...

His Congressional seat, and March 4th when Texas goes to the polls...the most delegates of any remaining state.

138 delegates are at stake.

Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

a) He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

Each and every American HATES the income tax and the IRS.

b) He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

Ron knows that the media establishment won't accredit his platform, therefore we have to establish ourselves as a true prairie fire movement--protesting the IRS will gain us real recognition.

c) He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

The Ron Paul Revolution speaks for itself.

d) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

This government has become so arrogant that it thinks you work for them. They know you won't really stand up for yourself and your rights.

e) He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

Let's do this while we're still free to do so.

I agree! The book is

On February 9th, 2008 foontala says:

I agree! The book is perfectly timed too. April will be a totally different landscape. He will get even more name recognition with a number one book release.

People generally don't like it when a party attacks itself for a well established incumbent. This will backfire on them.

I'll bet His Plan...

My post earlier today:

Now it's time to pull out your recliners & watch the McCain-Huck fight. With Romney's campaign suspended and MSM thinking the good Doctor has gone into hiding (not really, he's now putting much needed time into his congressional seat & reloading his weapon for later). In addition, General Paul has dispatched his army to battle other congressional seats. So here's how I see it playing out. Thanks to Huckabee staying in the race, he & McCain take it down to a brokered convention. As Liberty Papers ponder, Ron Paul Supporters have infiltrated the camps of other republican campaigns and are going to come out of the woodwork at the convention in St. Paul (how prophetic is that name) when the first round of votes fails to elevate McCain to the nomination. The second round will be a calculated take-over of the Republican Party (think Trojan horse). Meantime, the good doc has also won his congressional seat back. Now we have Ron Paul (as the Denmark-based Saxo bank predicts and according to the article the majority of their 2007 predictions were true) as president and also able to select a young Ron Paulite to take over his congressional seat. Either Ron Paul has a love for three dimensional chess or he's primed-up his copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War".

P.S. Don't really sit back & watch...get out there and keep the movement alive! And don't forget--DONATE! We've got work to do!
