Did I finally figure out Ron Paul?

If he doesn't agree with the party system, then why did he break down and give into it? Yes, it may significantly increase chances of getting elected, but that doesn't mean it is the only way. By acknowledging and giving into the party system, one is helping the party system by giving it purpose and with purpose it is fortifying the party system.

You don't have to participate in the party system to be elected. Though it does take a lot of money, someone extraordinarily innovative could figure out a way without the party system. In a way you are partly right, but to me it shows his moral weakness.

Edit:

I would like to correct myself because his way of handling change is different. In a sense, what he doing could be compared to someone in the times of slavery who would buy slaves and release them in protest of slavery. Not really moral weakness, just a different strategy ultimately to make a point.

There is a big difference between Ross Perot & Ron Paul.

Ross Perot was a multimillion air & financed his own campaign, which was basically opposed to the CFR's goal of out source-ing American jobs.

He quit the election before the vote.

B. Clinton & Bush Sr. were both backed by CFR money......The CFR {party?} won the 1992 election. Please google Council on Foreign Relations.

If elected, I feel Ron Paul will expose exactly how the money masters have stolen America from it's solid Constitutional foundation.

If you or anyone else can figure a way to get political attention in a big way without becoming a Republican or Democrat, I'm all ears.

Ron Paul had essentially the same views in 1988, as he has now, when the Libertarian party nominated him as their candidate,,,,,even though he had been elected to congress as a Republican. The Libertarian party recieved such a little amount of public support in 1988 that it was essentially a waste of time & money.

To tell the truth, Ron Paul doesn't really care if he is elected president or not, he is simply trying to EXPOSE the truth about those subversives elements that are trying to destroy American Soveriegnty!

I think that's pretty close although I don't really understand your comparison to Perot since Clinton benefited from that, who is Ron Paul going to benefit? Personally I think Ron Paul does realize the truth about the two party system because he does stand out from the rest of the republicans so much. I'm afraid just like Perot, Ron Paul is a little too radical for the republicans and he will never get the nomination.

I have been saying this all along democrats and republicans are two different wings on the same bird if you want real change for the good vote Ron Paul. Now he follows the constitution! If we had more people like him our country would not be in the shape its in. I suggest you really listen to what he has to say

Ron Paul is a libertarian. The Republicans have been touting libertarian principles for years and getting elected. But they didn't follow through on their rhetoric, because the beaurocracy has actually grown under their control. I don't understand why you think a true libertarian like Ron Paul campaigning for the votes of the people who have proven that they believe in his principles doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense to me and running as a Republican has given him more exposure than

running as an independent would. Up to this point anyway.

Ron Paul is a constitunalist... He has said himself that he is more republican than anything.. and the party has lost its way with all the neocons and needs to get back on track... The Texan represents a dying breed in Congress, those who actually cast their votes in accordance with the Constitution and not at the discretion of lobbyists or the fear that the elite will tarnish their political careers if they don't continually support the establishment. As a result Ron Paul is the elite's worse nightmare, simply having him on the ticket itself will be a massive public relations blow, and that's why media organs will probably be activated to try and discredit him before 2008. Ron Paul stands for populist ideals that the country is screaming out for after seven years of hell... President Ron Paul could truly return America to the great nation it once was and his decision to run is an exciting development that we should all embrace and stand beside him in the fight to restore some form of dignity to the office of President that has been completely absent since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Paul isn't getting on a presidential ticket. Nobody is going to pick him as a running mate so that possibility is shot out the window. Paul has said that if he loses in primaries he isn't going to run as an Independent. This basically shows how corrupt the system and even good people like Paul have to subject to it.

Ron Paul is a libertarian in republican clothing. I would not be suprised if the does not get on the ticket for pres as a republican (highly likely) then he will probably change parties and run as a libertarian and create the whole 92 election all over again. The only difference is that he probably wont have the support that Perot had so his effect on the election will be a lot less.

Basically youre right, and alot of people go into politics like that, with the intention of changing things for the better, but nothing is instantaneous and it takes years and years, and by that time their enthusiasm gets lost in the partisanship and day-to-day humdrum of politics.

Take Obama for example. He came into politics with the intention of being an agent of important change. And now, hes up at the podium, dodging and dancing around questions like any other typical politician, telling half-truths, taking large amounts of money from Wall Street bankers and becoming the "hedge-fund candidate of 2008" (according to a newspaper whos name I dont recall).

I liked Obama in the beginning, but now I dont think hes much better than any of the others. All show and no substance.

Just watch, should Paul get elected, he'll march into office with all his great ideas and schemes and he'll come face to face with the full, brutal reality of Washington D.C. and he'll be lucky to get a few things done.

Watch this video of my candidate, Mike Gravel speaking. You dont have to watch the whole thing, but the first part, where he talks about how politicians and how they think. Hes dead-on correct.

you are correct in your analysis, but, you forgot to mention this is due to the majority of our people won't take time to find out what is really going on in our so called election process, 1st what difference will it make wheather a Rep,or Dem,is elected? they are both owned by their respective party's and have got to go along with party guidelines, and since both party's are owned by the Zionist Israel and enforced thru Aipac and our Zionist owned new;s media,no independent cannot or will be elected, unless we have informed voters, which I feel is almost impossible, they are to lazy and will get their information from the Zionist owned media, no one seems to care that our forefathers warned us against political party's, as they were to easy to gain control of , which has happened in our country,
