I just want to remind you all that every penny he spent was a sound investment. So why didn't it pay off like we all hoped? There are several reasons.....
1) We are fighting an insurgency within the GOP. We're not towing party line, we're the outsiders. It will obviously take much more resources to fight an uphill battle such as this and IMO Ron Paul has done a tremendous job.
2) We are also fighting against millions of hours of propoganda that has brainwashed the masses via the MSM. Do you think even $1 Billion in advertising will change people's understanding of how their government has deceived and manipulated them all these years?
3) Ron Paul is a principled man. He doesn't have a media bus or plane and shuttle around everyone, wine and dine. He puts out his message and that's it. He didn't lavish anyone or "grease the wheel" of the media in any way. Some will say this was a flaw but I say so be it, I'm tired of business as usual and politicians who will say or do anything to get elected.
But there is good news in everything we've accomplished:
1) First of all we've opened up thousands, hundreds of thousands of people's eyes to our rights as Americans to live our lives as the founders intended us to live and to that of basic libertian philosophy. This will set back the socialist movement dramatically. Even Glen Beck calls himself a libertarian now.
2) We've put out an incredibly strong message, and don't think for a second the GOP hasn't noticed. There will be smoother talking, younger and more energetic candidates for congress, senate and even the presidency just waiting to grab onto Paul's message. They know the young people pay attention, that it energizes all bases in the republican party and independants and even democrats, and it brings in the dollars like mad. Even if they don't have 10% of the moral character and record Paul has it's a move in the right direction and a welcome shift to the GOP.
3) We've brought forth the discussion of sound money once again in a presidential debate, something that hasn't happened since the 70's, and we've made millions of poeple aware of our crumbling currency. Even McLame is talking about the US printing money out of thin air now. Huckaboo talks about abolishing the IRS. This is real progress. While the economy continues to sour and the dollar continues to fall everyone will remember what Paul said and the discussion will last and continue.
So don't get down everyone. Our $30M or whatever it was that we donated was an incredible investment when you really think about it. And I want you all to know that no matter what happens, we have changed this country for the better and hopefully we all stay together to keep this movement going.
