A Peaceful Revolution, Vs A Violent Revolution

[jingles]

For the past 15 years I have seen a violent revolution coming on. Well since January I have seen the probability of a peaceful revolution. I voted for Pat Buchanan (Twice) I wrote in Perutka, but the timing wasn't right. These guys were a little bit ahead of their times. I gave up, the next step is violent revolution. And then along came this old man with the youth of a 40 year old.
I can really see a peaceful revolution now. This is so much better. The timing is right, lets make Ron our next servant. When was the last time this country had a servant for a president?

Yes, I too see the possibility that pigs shall fly.

Ha ha, do I detect a little facetiousness and doubt there?

Yes, I too see the possibility that pigs shall fly.

I respectfully disagree. We have the prospect of a very likeable person who bears our message gaining adequate funding and celebrity endorsements. This has not happened in many decades (perhaps in 1980 pre-assassination attempt Reagan). The secret is out how the establishment tried to silence a popular candidate and this is leading to a dramatic increase in attention paid to the good doctor.

We have to operate from the mindset that this WILL happen. I know I was very negative even just two months ago, but I have to confess that I was wrong. I feel that we have momentum on our side and that in next week's debate, Dr. Paul can destroy Giuliani in New Hampshire. With Benito out, Ron Paul can be forced into 'front runner' status as endorsements and money pick up.

If they cheat in the elections or kill him, they will have to do it with the world watching. And the effects of such decisions will be no less than what Aaron Russo alluded to last week.

You may not have been fully cognizant at the time, KT, but the beginnings of this recent grassroots movement shows striking similiarities to another 'RP' in '92, and that's something I know quite a bit about based upon personal first hand experience at the wheel.

I agree that from what I have learned and read (you are correct that it was before I was mature enough to really understand at the time), there are similarities. You have a vast majority upset with the nation's direction and does not like its choices for leadership. But would you not conceed that Ron Paul is more 'likeable' than Ross Perot? Ron Paul comes off as the nice grandfather or like that nice guy in town that always helps people and never speaks ill of others. And the best part is is that such are genuine attributes, at least as I can tell. Regardless, we have to try our best.

Ron Paul needs a Revolution to become President.

[KingTheoden]

BTDT I was in the position to see a whole lot of good people get hurt, up close and personal.

Do you mean betrayed by the campaign or hurt in terms of an angry Big Brother (I am sensing the former).

[Horn]

That and a miracle too.

Be that miracle, SF.
