Ron Paul is our Seabiscuit

October 10, 2007

I remember thinking last year during the election cycle that it was about time we got rid of the Republican's control over Congress. When the Democrats took control, I was only a tiny bit relieved and at the same time, quite suspicious of them. But, being an optimist, I had hope.

It turns out my suspicions were well-founded.

Since the Democrats took office, they've broken almost every promise they made in order to wheedle their way in. Even the progressive blogs are starting to reflect disappointment and disdain for these politicians who were supposed to be the Saviors of America. Even at that, I still see people towing the party line and they are going to vote for whom they consider the "lesser of evils" yet again, in the next presidential elections.

The only person running for President of the United States of America who is worth their salt is Ron Paul. But true to form, the mainstream media is conducting a blackout the likes of which have never been seen during my lifetime. Unless you want to count the lack of reporting of facts regarding September 11, 2001 and the run up to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

I keep hoping that one of these days people will understand there is no difference in political parties and no matter who is elected, you get more of the same. Everything goes to plan and we are in deeper trouble with each passing election.

But once in a while we see a shining star in the midst of all the darkness. Every now and again a Dark Horse that has the morals and statesmanship to lead this country back to greatness appears.

That man is Ron Paul. Ron Paul is our Seabiscuit in the Republican party. He's that tough little horse that no one thought could win in the face of incredible odds. He's pulling up from the rear with more than five million dollars in grassroots campaign donations this past quarter. He's gentle, yet tough. He's honest yet demanding of his people in that he's in this campaign to win, not just to place. And like Seabiscuit he can run to victory. But even Seabicuit needed support and those of us who want to see a real change in this country have got to take charge of ourselves by campaigning for him and by donating money to his campaign. He's the only politician I have ever donated money to and it did not leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Can you imagine the overwhelming energy that would overtake this country in the event he became the Republican Presidential Nominee? It would be electric.

The Iraq war rages on and all the Democrats have done is to continue funding it to the tune of more and more billions.

Ron Paul will lead us out of this war if he is elected, not in a year, not in two, after he takes office as president, but immediately. He is not wishy-washy on this subject or any other one, for that matter. He says what he means and he means what he says.

If you don't believe me, look at his philosophical and political beliefs. Hear what he says in interviews and then compare them to his Texas Congressional voting record. He has said that there were plenty of times when he wanted to vote for something because he wanted it, but the Constitution did not allow it. Just think how great this country would be if all politicians had the guts and the gumption to stand on that platform and act on it.

Ron Paul would begin by voiding every Presidential Executive Order and Directive ever issued by all presidents. Now, that's what you call a good start!

I can always bet good money and win if there is something up for a vote and if it is bad for American taxpayers, it will become law. The Democrats and Republicans work as a tag team, playing good cop bad cop while they try and fool us into thinking there is a difference. Know this, there is no difference in them, not the ones who are in office at the present time, with the exception of Ron Paul, of course.

How many times to you hear any of them in either party mention the word "Republic" or "Constitution"? How about never? They love to toss around the word "Democracy", but the United States of America is not a Democracy. If you tell a big enough lie enough times, people will start to believe it. Please don't tell me they are so ignorant as to believe their own lies, that is called pathological. Though I have to admit a lot of what I have seen them do is the antithesis of their sworn duty to uphold our Constitution.

When this country was founded, there was a requirement that Congress was to meet at least once a year. Think about that for a moment. Once a year. Now it has morphed into a full-time job for hundreds of people who spend their days and up into the night, five days a week, figuring out ways to blow your money and send you further down the road to servitude to the State. There are so many laws that we can hardly help but be a lawbreaker. Who could possibly know all of them? Yet, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

I hear people complain that Congress isn't "doing anything."

Most of the time, we would be better off if they didn't.
