To those who are depressed or angry about all the attacks and the way Ron Paul has chosen to directly address those attacks, realize that IT'S ALL GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN! This is exactly what we want. I couldn't be happier and more optimistic right now and here is why.
1. Imagine being Ron Paul and spending 30 years speaking the truth and having no one pay attention to you or take you seriously. Imagine the frustration of being the only one in Congress who gets it. Now, after 30 years you FINALLY have an audience willing to listen. Millions of people now take what you say seriously. Would you feel now is the right time to "tone down" that truth? Absolutely not. You need to take advantage that people are willing to listen and make those 30 years count for something, which brings me to point #2.
2. Like Ron Paul said, for the country to really change for the better, you don't just need to get people elected. You need to get people, the voters, to change the way they think; to get them to believe in freedom again, or at least get them to start thinking about issues rather than just accepting the view they have been taught is the only socially-acceptable one. Winning the election is not our major goal here! It's a bonus. How many of you would have become hardcore Ron Paul supporters had he not addressed controversial issues head-on in 2008? This is what makes Ron Paul, Ron Paul. This is what makes him different. For every hardcore neocon that gets pissed at Ron's positions, we probably gain a few independent-minded people.
3. These attacks by the media yesterday should actually make you really happy. It means they are afraid and know he can win. Remember Rand? Rand's story (after the primary) had a similar beginning. Remember how that story ended? I would be worried if they were not attacking Ron right now. They are throwing everything at him right from the start: heroin, prostitution, FEMA, CRA. Holy crap, imagine the fear they must be feeling right now! And it's better that they throw all of this at him now because we still have a ton of time.
I have a friend I work with who never cared about politics, and now says he will be jumping on the Ron Paul bandwagon. I have another friend who is a liberal Obama supporter who admitted to me the other day that he wants to see Ron Paul vs Obama, and depending on how the debates go, would consider voting for Paul. It's working! He is "catching on, I'm telling ya."
