Locked In
By Ingemar Gustafson
All my life I lived in a coconut.
It was cramped and dark.
Especially in the morning when I had to shave.
But what pained me most was that I had no way
to get into touch with the outside world.
If no one out there happened to find the coconut,
If no one cracked it, then I was doomed
to live all my life in the nut, ad maybe even die there.
I died in the coconut.
A couple of years later they found the coconut,
cracked it, and found me shrunk and crumpled inside.
“What an accident!”
“If only we had found it earlier...”
“Then maybe we could have saved him.”
“Maybe there are more of them locked in like that.”
“Whom we might be able to save,”
they said, and started knocking to pieces every coconut
within reach.
No use! Meaningless! A waste of time!
A person who chooses to live in a coconut!
Such a nut is one in a million!
But I have a brother-in-law who
lives in an
acorn.

Ron Paul is a smart Guy and has been on the political scene for a long time. My brother is down there now as a Ron Paul supporter.
The problem is he wants to shake up the Power Structure that the Democrats and Republicans hand back and forth.
He is absolutely right about our money situation and the corrupted Federal Reserve.
Thomas Jefferson said:
If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.

Most americans feel the same as you do about dr. Paul.

.5% doesn not represent most. that's how much he got last time.

No they don't.

No you don't maybe? All of his rally's were packed rally's and his latest poll (not sure exactly), placed him as a candidate that can easily beat Obama whereas Mitt is at best, tied if not down by more than 8 points.

See above answer

He interviewed Volker, GreenSpan and Bernanke of the past 30 years. He wrote a book on our banking system. He is most definately an expert.
I will say that my personal believes are that Top Bankers are facists. Some have communist tendencies. But I digress, this is about RP and not myself.

He got . 5% that's half of one percent. even if he was tied right now with the other two that still would only make him 33% and last I checked 33% isn't most.
perhaps what you mean to say is that most of the people that go to his rallies agree with him.

Where did you get that info? He got the plaurality of 7 states and was a finalist of candidates. .5% seems very low to me. :headscratch:

thats even more disappointing then :(
-
Ron Paul's logic about the Banking system has not been refuted. Most tend to shy away from the subject.
Unfortunately Elections are half popularity contests. :frown:
-
his logic may well be sound, but since he apparently uses the wrong words sometimes its hard to tell.
-
If he was the most popular, why did he get his butt whooped?
My only problem with him was the fact that he was/is out of touch.
His answer to everything is "bring the troops home".

google it that's how I found it. and .5% was a high, most websites quoted .3%. you are more than welcome to post your own results if it contradicts mine.
edit: oh crap i was wrong the above information is wrong. it looks like he got .5% of the vote for the republican nomination. he got something like 50,000 votes in the 2008 presidential election. sorry my bad :uhoh

He is not worse than the current President IMO But could never win. With the current primary rules in some states it's winner takes all the delagates so you don't know how really close the other canidates are.

they still record the popular vote. so yes you do know who each candidate does in the primaries. heck they even know that mickey mouse gets about 20 votes each election :).

Hardly a selling point now is it?

He's (RP) been in a position of power for 30 + years. I see him as part of the problem, not part of the solution.
