Why Did The Ron Paul Re3volution Completely Fail?

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

No, son...I am sorry you have been lost in the shuffle, but Ron Paul has never been and never will be a diluting or diverting factor in the truth movement. If anything, he has been a converting member of the truth movement. I'm not sure of what you mean by "grab the flag" or "take the fall". Could you give me some specific instances? Controlled by birth, huh? I need some more instances of proof. Otherwise, what am I supposed to trust with you?

He talks and walks. He is the reason I'm asking you questions, now. So, why don't you give me these answers, and if they are legitimate, your trust will be mine. How about that?

Your mot*********' a** asked! Why doesn't your p*** a** self answer! ugh!

Talking being the keyword, people can talk about a lot of shit, doesn't mean squat in reality if then they have no obligation to do any of it.

It didnt fail, Ron served his purpose, without ending up like Kennedy. He woke up millions. Since their is no real electoral process and he was destined to be forcefully marginalized with MSM ministry propaganda most people realize that their is no other options left but stock pile and buy more ammo.

Playing with in party rules when they already had a candidate they wanted.If he would have gone 3rd party libertarians would have been in debates and got more tv time next try. It would have ended the 2 party system.

This doesn't cut it...read above.

This thread was cut from my most active threads, why?

If people were really awake they would organize to stock pile and buy ammo and then boycott the system and bring it to the point of collapse to force its destruction. There's nothing desirable in the system anyway, and it would force a conflict that would weed out the undesirables.

because he's just another republican shill saying all the shit you want to hear for money and votes.

Ron Paul, was never in it to win....his only reason for starting up for the current race, was to garner donations, which he will be retiring on....lol all those RP donations feeding da fat man ! Can you say "Thanks Suc_kers"

Do you have numbers on what was left after campaign expenditures?

probably in the millions

Another reason is "The delegate strategy". It might have worked if they didn't change the rules once they got wind of it.

in other words...hehehe..NO!

The same thing happens to me at midnight EST. It will reappear at midnight in your timezone.

No, listen, the RNC changed the rules too late!

We've won! We can't give up when we've won! The media is telling us that we lost which is not the case one iota!

the committee is ours damnit.

If you can't recognize that then your are working against us!

Work with us and get this recognized!

Who are you for us or them? the current committee or the ones we have elected and will elect stronger in the future?

Get WITH IT, MAN! hahaha! You and I are it! We're the party! They've lost! That's why they're so up in arms about changing rules without us! It's because they know that once the next session is in order, WE ARE IN POWER!

thanks...I was really getting worried about that....I like this site..thanks for clarifying.

I don't think it has failed per say. I think the reason why its not the main event in this election has to do with a complex array of factors.

1) Convenience - There are several levels that this plays against Paul. Much of our society's self-destructive behavoir is due to the capitualization of convienience. So - to in politics. Ron Paul was willing to confront many issues openly and honestly. This is inconvienient for a nation that typically chooses to sweep shit under the rug so-to-speak.

Also, one thing I continually heard from the GOP was that Ron Paul just didn't have the machineray i.e. he didn't have the wheels gresed. Romey had the money, the mojo and the carisma. Too bad he is not really a republican IMHO. Anyway, it was just more convenient to go with the strongman.

2) The complexity of International Policy. Many peole buy into the fear that if we don't spend Billions on the Military industrial complex then we will be anhilated. This fear, coupled with the amount of money involoved means that not only are people likely to latch onto what they think will make them safe, but there are also a lot of big money interests involved.

3) The petrodollar - I think people in general think it would be bad (or inconvenent) to upset the relative stability that the petro dollar and American Imperialism have brought us. Its hard to admit because we Americans are tacitly involved deeply in this issue. None of us are free. Every purchase we make, every enjoyment we have, even the electronic ones and zeroes that are typing this message are brought to you by the relative power of the petrodollar. While we see the truth of the horrific nature of this business as well as the unsustainability of this thing, There is an inherent difficulty in fighting something that feeds and clothes us. The maninstream for the most part simply refrains from acknowledging that this is an issue.

4) Addiction! One thing that I think is very human, in that it crosses all boundaries of position and wealth, is that no person has an easy time admitting they were wrong. Indeed this is something anathema to pretty much everybody. This is unfortanate because for an addicted person to recover it is necassary to take stock, take ownership (responsability), realize (get out of denial) admit error and forge ahead. We are addicted to ohhhh soooo many things. Ron Paul realizes that America has been on the wrong track. He has helped me realize this. The problem is that too many people are addicted to their lives. It makes sense really. They have no desire to step back and change in a more positive way when they do not understand the negaitveness of the current situation. This also makes sense as with addiction to drugs and alcohol it often takes a verrryyy loooowwww point for the person before they realize they were doing something wrong.

5) Information. Even with the internet people are still very underinformed. Furthermore, it is still very difficult to really KNOW the truth. It is out there, I believe. Part of the problem though is that out of convenience people self edit a lot of the information they run accross. DOUBLETHINK?

We are not in control anyway. Hashem, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Yes, we are in power with our vote. I am voting for Johnson this year because I would vote Rep. after the RNC. If RP would have went 3rd party he would still have it. I'm tired of the 2 party system anyways. He might get 10% here in Ohio and that's fine,then hopefully there's 3 parties from now on. There's a bunch of Libertarians here pretending to be Rep. I will not vote either dem./rep. again as long as I live.

I'm voting Johnson, as well. It only makes sense from where I've come.

If that was my son...well, he wouldn't be my son anymore.Such disloyalty.

But then, another answer is that maybe they both got taken aside and offered Sec of State/Sec of Health type jobs with whoever gets in next.

Ron Paul lost a race he knew he couldnt win.

RNC changed the rules because they saw him gaining popularity.

Ron Paul exposed them of thier frauds. Thats not a win, but at least it helped many americans see the truth, so thats not a complete failure either.

Ron Paul had breakfast with Ben Bernanke, then two days later suspended his campaign. It's always been obvious to me, he sold us out, just like the rest of them.

Maybe I SHOULD vote for Roseanne ...

Thread: The deal is done, Power (election) goes to Romney (Page 2)

That is why.

I will make it real short, Old man Bush is dictator in a hidden dictatorship.

Why don't you tell us what happened during that breakfast that made you believe he sold us out.

Waiting...

You meant to say selected right?
