I also gave money to his campaign ($25), but have no reason to give any more. While I would have liked to see better use of the money donated, consider this: Much of his legitimacy (little that he had given the inherent bias) from the mainstream media came from the fact of his phenomenal grassroots fund raising. It's the only legitimacy that the gatekeepers recognized. His invitations to the various "debates" would have been much fewer had he only raised 1 or 2 million dollars. What our donations paid for was a foot in the door. I hope that the remaining funds are put to good use somehow. The problem that I see now is that people are ignoring the message that he'd been spreading during his candidacy. The issues he raised are absolutely correct whatever you think of him as a man and the decisions he made. The Ron Paul R3volution is not and should never have been about the man. Listening to him during the campaign, I learned about stuff I thought I already understood. One can only hope that enough people "got it" that these facts can be passed on to our posterity, or even if it is a foreign nation/culture that picks up the banner of liberty. It reminds me of (and in a way the problem is somewhat related) of America's ubiquitous Jesus worshippers who completely ignore Christ's message of how to get along with the rest of the world. They care nothing of the message, only whether or not they are "saved".
you make some good points. still, i agree with Alex Jones who said awhile ago, if he were Ron Paul, he would throw caution to the wind.
What can I say, other than, "Thank goodness, Ron Paul is the voice of reason and not some hothead, as Alex has been called at times." :) Alex is behind a mic, no election or campaigning, no duty/responsibility to constituents. He can say what he wishes. OTOH, a candidate for office has to tread a thin line. They're under scrutiny all the time by opposition. A fart turns into a hurricane when reported in msm. A burp turns to vomit. Surely, you'll get a handful of votes or applause from those who saw or heard ya.......but when the line of vision or the cord to the mic is pulled by someone, how do you propose to get your hardhitting, calling a spade a spade message across? Smoke signals? That's about all you'll be seen..... All these smart, sharp reports sound great til the rubber meets the road. Same for smacking someone across the chops for treating you like a moron.......forever the image of Howard Dean doing his savage gutteral scream is implanted in the minds of the american sheeple. Its always mentioned.........is that what we want for the guy that is trying to convince americans that foreign policy should be different, or that our monetary policy is killing us, or that the Constitution matters? Some loony bin spouting off about money, foreign policy, economics, Constitution when he should be in some asylum taking meds? Or how about him smacking someones chops and getting tossed in the hoosegow for assault and battery--even if he was let go within 6 hours--there's your jailbird stigma! I'm sure glad I picked a winner, if he never officially wins. He's a man of highest integrity, honesty, principled, a family man, a lover of the Constitution, and a gentle man as well as gentleman. Can all those things be said of the other candidates in the hunt?
