Just had a thought : what would it be like without RON running

[rp08rp]

Seriously, FOR YEARS. I have been swimming against the stream, as you all.
I just wanted to say how lucky we are to have Ron as a lightning rod and voice/leader.

Thank you all for your efforts and
PLEASE
dont forget how little time and precious this all is.

We would have to start a don't vote campaign. The less people that vote the more illegitimate the campaign election would look.

I had hung up years ago after the Buchanan challenge was beaten down...

RP brought me back from the dead for this final Armageddon of presidential elections

 

[Kregener]

I wouldn't even be paying attention if Ron Paul was not running.

 

[scoot87]

My cynicism of politics would continue...

 

[ToxicFrog]

If Ron Paul weren't running, I wouldn't be voting, and I'd be paying very little attention to any of the candidates. Everyone except for our hero is full of crap, except for possibly Gravel, Kucinich and Edwards, and I don't agree with their policies at all, regardless of their sincerity. It's even more mind boggling that I respect these democrats more than ANY of the republicans (except Paul), because I support the 'rhetoric' of the republican party more than that of the democratic party.

I would honestly be finding another country to live in. Switzerland probably.

If he had not woken me up I'd still be a neocon and probably would have voted for Rudy. I can't help but feel ashamed of myself!

 

[lasenorita]

I'd be paying attention, but I'd be blindly voting for Obama or some other polished speaker promoting "change". (I consider myself a conservative Republican-leaning Independent but would never dream of voting for a Republican after the previous fiasco or even a Hillary Clinton, for that matter.) Ron Paul is the first statesman to actually inspire me to do my research and become more educated about how our political process works. I mean, I always knew our politicians were lying, crooked, corrupt, two-faced !@#$%^&*() and that our country was in deep and urgent trouble but it didn't really register until I began listening to what Congressman Paul had to say.

 

[Sematary]

I'd be cheering on Steve Kubby

Unfortunately, even Switzerland is going down the tubes right now.

I know but its the only other place viable..... Unless I want to go to a third world country..... which may not be a bad idea.

 

[Pauliana]

I would be a lot more up to date on my soap opera

 

[LibertyEagle]

Wow! You sure made a big change.

 

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

If Ron Paul hadn't gotten into the race, I'd still be a self-deluded neo-con with a Rudy bumpersticker on my car and a Rudy lawnsign in front of my home, and I would still have no clue what the Constitution really says.

 

[inibo]

I would still be reading lewrockwell.com and antiwar.com every day wishing Ron Paul would run, but otherwise assured in my conviction that voting in federal elections is a total waste of time just like I was this time last year.

 

[dsentell]

I'd be upset because Colbert is out . . .

 

[Daveforliberty]

What a question. God has been gracious to us in giving us Ron Paul.

I'd be hiding out in the hills and voting for Kubby by mail.

 

[born2drv]

Wow! You sure made a big change.

No kidding... now I'd sooner vote for Hillary then Rudy... and I hate them liberals ... I can't help it, all those layers of neoconism are hard to wear off

But seriously I had always assumed back then republicans = pro-business + strong defense.... now I know it's the total opposite, at least present day republicans that is.... Right now they're destroying our economy and making us less safe while weakening our military. I've always been a big supporter of small government and sound money as well, I also stockpile precious metals. I just assumed no candidate would ever bring real reform to our monetary system and I accepted the federal reserve like I accepted death hahaha.....
