Sometimes we need to set our sights a bit lower.
To explain, I have said it before, President is a tough goal. I'm glad to see some enthusiasm obout Paul, but in less than two years can we make a dent ?
A couple of people were just sent to jail in Ohio for election fraud. It is said that Bush really did lose.
If ONE Senator would've signed the resolution, Bush might not have had a second term.
While his opponent was just about as unappealing, he would not have been on his second term. A second term President can be bold because he knows he can't run again. A first term President might not have damaged our country as much.
So, as I said somewhere else, maybe Paul should go for Senator. Then his voice is 1 in 100 instead of 1 in 435.
Problem is if he does that he may run out of time. I don't know his exact age, but he is no spring chicken. He is at the very least in his late 50s. So add eight years to that and we have an old President. But a wise one.
Incedentally, Ron Paul and a few others have uncovered a treasonous plot by the Bush cronies to move toward merging the US with Canada and Mexico, replacing the dollar with the "amero" and making our courts and laws subordinate to an "American Parliment".
This is fact folks, that's what they are trying to do, and didn't tell congress. Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, Virgil Goode and Walter Jones have introduced a resolution opposing this (I can't find the word, nothing is more treasonous than this, Bush should be executed for treason).
Mexico has a website of course, I hear they tell all about it. Dunno about Canada.
It'll be interesting to see the voting record on that resolution. What would you think of a representative who voted for combining our country with two others ? It is alot easier to get the word out in a congressional district and get somebody voted out than say, the senate. I'd yell it on the streetcorners if "my" congressman voted against that resolution. Even though I didn't vote for him, PEOPLE WHO DID SHOULD KNOW !
At this stage of the game, I really think "stick a fork in them, they're done" applies now. The democrats could probably run a potato(e) and win in '08. Might not be better, but sometimes anything different is better.
Anybody want to get something going for Ron Paul ? Money for some printing and postage perhaps ? Something like that, I'll chip in. We got about a year, even if he doesn't win, if he can put a dent in it, that may be a wakeup call for other politicians.
I am very glad to see people are thinking about this. The world is going to hell in a handbasket. Only people can change that.
Maybe we can get somewhere, we are talking politics here and there is no name calling, insults, nothing of the sort. If we sort it out, maybe we can have a positive impact on the human condition.
We can't fight money. It is not all about money. Getting the word out only requires creativity and possibly some ingenuity. Gobs and gobs of money are not what are going to get the job done. They have unlimited money, and we have damn near none. And if you think you are doing well, think again. Remember the very old saying "another day another dollar" ?, well that is the equivalent of about $60,000 a year now. The people who need to be voted out have billions. And thus they have control of the media.
We can't spend millions on TV ads, full pages in the news and all that. But we can do other things. Ever start a small business ? Think of it that way. Just spread the word, and you'll catch some people who do see the problem, and care, and then they spread the word. Just make a nice size dent in the election, even the primary. They might sell us out every day right now, but they know damn well they can't do that without votes. Votes are more important than money to them.
Noted anti-gun guy Charles Schumer has been strangely silent on the gun issue since he became a senator. Seems there are people who need guns in upstate NY.
Shows to go ya.
