Ok being British I never take notice of American politics or your congressmen/women up for elections other than Obama. The reasoning for that was it was historical fact that in my lifetime I could see the first black president of the United states.
Tonight I came across Ron Paul & the film on YouTube (go watch it). For the first time I've become interested in what a candidate has had to say. From the outside looking in he seems the first person in my lifetime who's genuinely concerned about the country, the people & the constitution on which it's foundations are set.
He shows passion & pride & belief in the "forefathers" who forged the independence & the rights of the nation. However, because of these views he's not getting media coverage, when he does the stats are fixed to show he's not popular dispite gaining a huge payout of support from serving troops! $10,000 more than current president Obama recieved! What does that say?
Like I said, I'm an outsider looking in so what are the thoughts of our American followers? People say he has no chance but then declare him the "Jefferson of our time" a bold statement. He wants to audit the FED, to take away the power from the banks & also remove the IRS. He's a thinker, a leader rather than YES man... So based on that, what real hope does he have & what do the American public think/want/expect? He's desperate to remove troops & when asked "how soon would you bring them home?" he responded "as soon as I could get the ships there!".
IMO he'll gain popularity, more than the powers that be would like. He'll then suddenly be found dead, suspected heart attack or similar.
Right or wrong he's causing a stir.
