That is such bs. He has done the most to help people understand. God damnit, he takes insanely complicated issues - and does what many find so hard, he simplifies them so that people CAN UNDERSTAND. He does it extraordinarily well. The man has been a catalyst for waking up so many people its not even funny. Not just in the USA, we're talking the world over. I just had to hear the man speak. And for many others, thats all it took.
I understand and that's great. But, unfortunately a whole lot of people have not heard him give a speech and the soundbytes they heard from the debates didn't sell them on Ron. The media talking heads certainly didn't help either, nor did the poorly run campaign.
By the way, do you remember that personality test that a bunch of people on here took some time back. A whole lot of us were one of the more rare personality types. Do you recall? Maybe this is why we got it so quickly, while others did not. I don't know. For me, I was brought up with this stuff from almost the first day I was born. Or at least it seems like that. It's a lot for a new person to take in all at one time. That's why I'm thinking that we need to stay focused on the fundamentals.
If anyone struggles to understand, or comprehend what he's saying. Then ignorance is paramount. (Quite obviously; and for all those ignorant, of what it means to be ignorant - go look that shit up. Hmm K. It's not directly associated with stupidity - get a clue thanks.) So its either that, or someones had too much fluoride.
Most people are not going to take the time to go look up what Paul says about monetary policy, etc. to try to understand it. It is up to the candidate to explain their position in terms that the voting public understands. People need to know what is in it for them. Why they should care about returning government to its constitutional bounds. I know it sounds obvious, but some people truly don't get it. The media kept repeating those things that they knew would scare other Republicans off from Paul. Him being a Libertarian (rather than a Republican.
), the stuff about getting rid of the CIA, the FBI, etc. I understand it and agree with him, but that does not mean it didn't scare a whole lot of other people. People are scared of extremes. I didn't say I agreed with them, but that is just the reality of the situation.
Ron Paul does NOT speak in sound bites. Which is the problem to start with (NOT HIS) its the MSM's and how talking points are framed. If you SAY stuff like that, get rid of the CIA etc, and don't have more than a few sentences to elaborate you come off as a kook. Ron Paul always managed to get the full context across.
I understand, but he knew after awhile that was all he was going to get. Or should have. So, you either adapt to the situation, or you fail.
Give blame where its due. It certainly doesn't fall at his feet. 30 years of the same thing. You've been following for 20years, and you still don't understand? I spouse it depends on what degree, you'd classify as 'understanding' but on a basic level, if you can't get there from listening to him speak. Something is very, very wrong.
LOL. I get there. But unless you want to continue with doing nothing more than preaching to the choir, we need to branch out a bit. I admire the man a great deal, but that does not mean I cannot be honest about the situation.
