Problem is, that if it even LOOKS as though the people are going to nominate Paul, he will either have some sort of scandal surface (unfounded or not, it won't matter once the damage is done), or the media will mike-up some little obnoxious noise he makes (like they did with Dean), or he will be strapped in a convertible and sent to Dealy Plaza. The POWER ain't gunna let him in.

We're screwed, of course.

The POWER ain't gunna let him in.

We're screwed, of course. T

Two points:

Regarding fund raising, Ron Paul's grassroots support is so powerful that other well funded candidates wish they could match it, but they can't buy that kind of support or publicity.

A large war chest is no indication of popular support because corporations can twist their employees' arms to donate the way MBNA bank did.

And, regardless of Paul's groundswell of support we can safely assume that none of the dedicated two party hacks are part of it. The folks who believe that "we gotta beat them evil Democrats no matter what or how" will cast their votes for whoever has the power to take the nomination, and it's a foregone conclusion that the nominee will be pro-war and pro-Israel. I mean, do people really believe that Bob Dole was chosen because of popular support among Republicans?

So, the bottom line is, Paul can't win as an indie and he won't get the Republican nomination because the delegates to the convention will be sent there with the name of the corporate-approved candidate pinned to their sleeves.

Although many people will be shocked and disappointed, it will show the people how the wormy system really works.

The two party system is supported by banksters and the military industrial complex, both of which are either rapid supporters of Zionism or know better than to challenge it.

People get angry with me when I point these things out but I didn't make the rules. The bottom line is, none of the delegates from the states to the convention will dare cross the money that controls both parties. So, except for "isolated pockets of principled people" (Vermont or New Hampshire perhaps) the Republican convention will be business as usual, and by that I mean that the same people who selected George Bush will decide who gets the nod. No amount of popular support (most of which is from people who probably aren't Republicans anyway, and who don't contribute any meaningful amounts of freshly laundered and sweet smelling cash the way the FED banksters can and do) will secure the nomination for Ron Paul.

So you see, there's no need for scandal or limo rides. Paul's support will be written off as the result of internet fanatics skewing the polls and undermining "legitimate candidates".

"HOUNDDAWG, you asshole! It's people like you who are ruining this country! Why don't you get on board and support Ron Paul instead of dragging us down with your grim predictions? If he loses it'll be because of you, you goddam idiot!"

Love,

Ron Paul For President Committee

AFTERTHOUGHT: Even if by some miracle Paul wins the nomination, the general election will then come down to a choice between the candidate who wants to end social security and a DEM who promises seniors the moon and the stars. And, since the largest single group of "special interest" voters are greedy, tax grubbing seniors who don't care about America's future, who would win that contest?

Just as the media showed file footage of fully automatic machine guns dumping hot brass into the air when they pushed the phony, semi auto assault weapons ban down our throats, they'll show homeless old folks pushing grocery carts filled with aluminum cans, and most older voters (who I dare say don't even own a computer and who don't care if their own kids are doomed to lives of debt slavery) will get the message.

Yeah, I can see your points. Either way, Ron ain't goin' no where.

For years I've been signing pettitions to put Todd Rundgren in the R&R hall of fame. It ain't never gunna happen either. S'matter of fact, I've been lobbying TMC to show an uncut version of "Darker Than Amber" and that ain't gunna happen either. Nothin' good happens anymore.

The really sad thing is, when I joined up with the filthy ol' tax rebs over 20 years ago one of the first people I learned to respect was Ron Paul, and I told people about him long before he ran for prez on the Libertarian ticket.

I used to pray that he would become president someday, or in the alternative set the high water mark to which other politicians would aspire.

Those who get upset with me for my predictions just don't understand. I've had a couple of decades of disappointment to bring me to this point, and it would probably kill me if I allowed myself to become hopeful and the rotten bastards pull their shit on him this time.

Some folks are hoping that the nation can be saved by a great awakening of young, principled patriots. If only that was possible. I don't believe that it is. Rather, I think we'll end up with a group of initially disappointed folks who then become cynics. Some will quit the system and some will join it, but few will ever hope of changing it again.

Keep in mind that if all else fails the US Supreme Court can rescue the party. I say this because David Duke was a lifelong registered DEM but when his star began to rise and the party got worried they told him that he could not run as a DEM, and the courts upheld it. Since that time the parties' leadership has had the unchecked power to decide who is or isn't a DEM or a PUB. Telling Ron Paul that his politics are "not consistent with the goals of the Republican Party" would be no more wild eyed crazy than the way the SCOTUS handed Bush the election. And, if that didn't result in a revolution or an end to business as usual, then....

Well, you get the picture. The federal reserve isn't going to go gentle into that good night. They'd start a nuclear war first. Anyone who thinks that we're going to sneak up on the globalists and Zionists and take America back through the "democratic process" is either a newbie or just hasn't been paying attention.

At some stage of our lives, we know, but we fail to give a shit about the outcome.

We want to do the right thing, whatever the result may be.

Our lives here, will end, sooner, rather than later, in any event.

Why not go out doing it correctly?
