Ron Paul Has Succeeded in changing the national conversation

One year ago did you think that we would be talking about gold? What about a preemptive war? A year ago did you even know what that meant, or care? 

The transformation that has taken place in this country over the past 8 months has been truly remarkable. And its affecting other candidates, do you believe that the Huckster would have been talking about eliminating the IRS if it hadn't already been tried and tested with Ron Paul.  Can you believe how much you have learned about history just since you found Ron Paul. For this we all owe him a great debt of gratitude.  And it is this that gives us hope. Hope that America can wake up listen to truth and reason, hope that we haven't been completely brainwashed yet. For a long time i thought it was too late. Like many of you i was totally apathetic, and then George W. Bush came, and i was still apathetic, and then 911 came, still apathetic. Then the Iraq war, it was then that i started the steps of gathering information on our current situation and asking some questions. 

But there was one problem, no one was asking the questions i was. I wanted to know what laws Bush broke and what i heard and saw in the media was far from the conversation i was looking for.  Bill Maher came next and i got some satisfaction, but it seemed like real questions were still never asked, about our country, the truth that the war on terror is a giant joke.  

I remember thinking long before this campaign of how angry the american people are, and yet i felt no one was really speaking to the american people.  I knew there would be a huge void to be filled. A void of people looking for truth and reason and honesty and integrity and consistent principles. Real american people. And then Came Ron Paul. 

I laugh to my self when these pundits try and put Ron Paul supporters in categories, of course there are tons of different people that like Ron Paul so when they are done they have described a beautiful array of ordinary American People which they try to marginalize immediately. 

Nevertheless, Ron Paul has succeeded. Succeeded in educating a huge population of people on liberty, freedom, monetary policy, and the constitution. Succeeded in getting the constitution back into the national debate. 2008 is the first election in 100 years that the monetary policy has been brought to the national level. Not a feat to scoff at. A few years ago if you told me that masses of people would be spontaneously organizing to champion freedom i would have laughed. What has happened is truly remarkable and we must recognize this for it to continue long after the Dr. is gone.
