Here's what I sent:
Mr. Jackson,
Why is it that Ron Paul, who is supported by the likes of Pat Buchanan and Barry Goldwater, Jr., is treated like a crazy person? Is it because he is actually insane? If this is the case, then he has been insane all of his life. If you compare how much is positions and principles have changed to that of other candidates, you can easily see that if nothing else, Ron Paul sticks to his guns. So if Ron Paul is patently insane, he was insane while he served as a medical doctor in the Air Force. He was insane as an OB/GYN in Lake Jackson Texas where he delivered 4,000 babies. He was insane when he drafted a resolution to declare war against Iraq in 2002. He was insane when he, along with the rest of Congress, voted against that declaration of war.
In my view, Ron Paul is not insane. Character assassination, a lack of credible arguments against the positions he takes, is the reason he is regarded as a kook, crank, or as Soledad O'Brien put "a flake". William Kristol even goes so far as to call Ron Paul un-American. Tough talk from a fervent Bush foreign policy supporter who continues his father's legacy of Trotskyism.
Take time to consider why the powers-that-be are doing everything in their power to stop Ron Paul and his message. Could it be, perhaps, that he's actually telling the truth? And my final question to you is, if you really think Ron Paul has no support, how do you explain him beating Rudy Giuliani, a nationally recognized figure (and to many a hero), in every primary held so far (except for one)? If you count the votes he's received so far, cumulatively, I'm sure there's quite a few more than 1,000.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
