When Reagan ran for president the first time in 1976, everyone wrote him off. He was laughed at and not considered a real candidate. He performed poorly on polls and in several primaries.
But then things started to change. His numbers crept up. People started taking notice. A candidate everyone thought was ridiculous became one of promise. The rest, as we know, is history.
Clinton was similar back in '92. He didn't start of so well either, and still came back to win.
We're still just in the beginning of this. Ron Paul still has funds, while other candidates are starting to run on empty. Ron's vote totals are climbing while other's are flat-lining.
This is not a time for pessimism. We have a message of freedom and truth that needs to be spread. In the face long odds and adversity, it's the message of freedom that should give us the strength to continue.
If a group of rag tag colonials could stand up in the face of the world's most powerful military to claim their freedom, what does it say about those who give up after a handful of primaries?
If you are so easily defeated, then by all means return to your apathy and continue letting our government erode our freedoms. If your strength wilts in the face of adversity, then go about your business as your country slowly crumbles around you.
But if you believe in our Constitution and our freedoms you will fight. If you believe that those that have died for our country did so for a purpose, then you will carry on. If you believe you have just fraction of courage our founding fathers had when they founded this great nation, then nothing will stop you.
The choice is yours. Surrender or fight. Take action or sit on your couch. Change, or take more of the same.
For me, I will at least be able to say I tried to make a difference.
