Is Ron Paul 2008 our Last Hope?

[Luft97]

Yes, but if they know and are seriously watching everything that you do on the internet then you wouldn't get very far would you?

Actually there is no such thing as a peaceful revolution. That's why it's not the best of slogans for Ron Paul's peaceful campaign for President.

I used to think that way too, but it's grown on me.

The Love/revolution means many things to many people but to me it means "one last shot at the ballot box".

Absolutely not. There will be other people just as passionate as Paul running for office.

I say that when this election is all over, we turn this forum into a forum that focuses on electing and nominating candidates who speak of the same message that we do.

If Paul doesn't win, then in 2012 we all can get together and try to get someone similar to Paul to run and support whoever is closest to the message that we are trying to get out.

While that is an interesting idea, I don't think there is anyone else with Ron Paul's record. (I wish there was) Not going to be easy to find someone that can do it.

If only Walter Williams wasn't so old.

Everyone voting Yes here needs to reconsider. These could be people who will leave the movement after 2008. We need to take back America now or then. The sooner the better.

No, I'm not leaving it, no matter what. If we get another CFR asshole as pres, it may be the end of doing this peacefully.

bump...

+1

If you look at the exit polls for the under-30 vote share, you know this isn't the end, but a new beginning.

 

[priest_of_syrinx]

If we don't win the election this time, hopefully in 2012 we supporters can re-unite again behind either Dr. Paul or another good candidate that advocates liberty and a humble foreign policy. Perhaps Michael Badnarik?...

Last chance for a peaceful revolution.

i am guessing in few years internet will be heavily regulated.

I'm pretty sure it will be.

 

[Agent CSL]

No. Ron Paul will inspire hundreds of thousands. He may, however, be our last chance for a peaceful way to change the government.

 

[jumpyg1258]

If Ron does not get elected then the NAU will come to replace America which will nullify the Constitution and Bill of Rights, so yes he's our last hope for freedom and the USA.

 

[G-Wohl]

I don't think this is the last chance, but it sure is getting more and more unrealistic as the time goes by.

My only fear is that the internet becomes regulated and the Patriot Act becomes interpreted more "liberally" as to assert that those of us who love freedom are "homegrown terrorists". If these two things were to happen, then our love for freedom will be crushed.

 

[crink]

To say that this is our last chance would be a ridiculous statement. Even if Ron Paul loses and Hillary or Giuliani wins we can still win back congress. I can't believe it when people are saying "maybe we'll do better in 2012." If we can focus all this energy and money and support that we have for Dr.Paul into other good people like him then we can win this country back in 4-8 years!!
But we need to start as soon as the presidential elections are over before all the fareweather fans leave. I doubt Ron Paul ever expected to win in the beginning. If we give up at the very beginning then we obviously don't have a chance.

How could it be our last hope?

Our government will in the long term reflect the will of the people. (hell it even does now to a large extent; The problem is the people have just been fooled)
Our problem is the will of the people is turned toward things at the expense of liberty.

That is not the case with the up and coming generation X, and Y. (at least to such extent).
Imagine how socialistic the baby boomer generation (current generation) was when they were 20-30 years old.
Now compare that to generation X and Y. The blind faith in government is just not there anymore.

 

[mstrmac1]

our country is being bought everyday, by the chinese & the saudis... the dollar is worthless... yes! america as we know it will be done unless mr paul gets elected!

Don't count on the Internet. It will soon be controlled too. Count on it.

Exactly. Factor in all of the civil-liberty-eroding legislation, Executive Orders and Presidential Directives that are now on the books. And then factor in the NAU.

The noose is almost closed. This is it.

You're assuming that in the long term we will have the same freedoms we have now. We won't.
