I'm a 31 yr old bleeding heart anti-establishment libertarian. I found out about Ron Paul days before the money bomb tea party and immediately realized he was someone in politics I've been wishing for a for very long time. In fact 15 years long!!! I did send in $100 and felt a reborn American spirit in my heart! Ron Paul has cured my apathy as I never see ANY good of those corporate cookie cutter-bought off candidates that will never do what they pitch to us. Its always talk the good-smooth-diplomatic talk and end up being empty and broken promises along with a surprise or two when they get in the White House. I feel really genuine about Ron Paul and relate to his ideas on the issues.
However I think that he just isn’t getting his message out correctly to the masses as they see his views as just too radical – a view that FOX and other mainstream media like to promote. Ron Paul needs to be more explicit and spell things out so the average voter can grasp his ideas.
If we the people want Dr. Ron Paul as our President as a reality--he's really going to need to COMPROMISE and come to a middle ground. We can't be like the 1800's again!! It is a modern day society! You can't dismantle and eliminate all agencies of the government. As much as I don't like some of them (DEA especially) others serve a purpose in this modern day society. All I’m saying his ideas are a great bold new direction to go forward in, but I get the impression with all the reaction I've seen and heard that they are way too radical to implement in modern day mainstream America and the average person doesn’t want to go along with it.
He needs to clarify his position and make mainstream America understand and convince them that he is not going to take the country in a radical direction back to the stone age of a strict constitutionalist. He's not going to stand a snowballs chance in he** with the main stream citizen if he can not figure out a middle ground or happy medium approach they can agree to and convince them thats he's not doing away with vital welfare programs some people have no choice but to depend on.. So if WE the people and HE is all ears to US, then this thread is FOOD FOR THOUGHT for this Ron Paul community to digest and to see a different strategy of getting the MAIN STREAM VOTERS on our side!!!
To see his ideas on the issues and convince them he is their best and most HONEST choice there is running THEN he just may turn and capture those ANTI PAUL'S as well..!!!!! He just has to tone it down enough and present some sort of MIDDLE/NEUTRAL medium for them all to understand where HE is coming from. Why insist having policies and issues that most main stream Americans will not accept in this day and age with radical Islamic’s on the war path.
The average voter may consider something that’s not too radical, with some government and spending to be eliminated – but not almost everything. Don't bring every last troop home, bring MOST of them home! See my point... Hey its worth a try...... Do we really want an all or zilch approach to this campaign???
It would be a crying shame to say "we don't want to compromise our position to get more of MAIN STREAM AMERICA on our side....YES I KNOW its about the "message" but if what a lot of us have seen such as aka Freedom to Fascism actually comes true to reality.... are we going to have another opportunity for a Ron Paul?? Who knows??? But are we willing to take that chance to be stubborn, to insist on everything to get nothing and snub mainstream America now?
Maybe I’m all wrong and off-base, but to me compromising at this point seems like a lot better strategic chance at actually winning the nomination/ election to get our objective which is freedom and liberty and to end the elitist plans. I want Ron Paul to win, but he will not win the mainstream citizens over (I don't think its as important with LAME STREAM MEDIA) unless he presents his platform and issues in a happy medium mainstream fashion versus taking a strict radical approach that the average voter is too scared to even consider with "security of terror" constantly being ingrained in their minds!
Of course the congress/senate will not even work with him even if he does gets elected if there are no compromises on the issues between them. So he might as well start now with those compromises while its still early to win over those undecided/swing voters to get our victory. Well I can only hope this community will ponder this over and this seed I've planted could change the outcome altogether. .
THINK IT OVER PEOPLE!!! Discuss ideas amongst yourselves and try to come up with a consensus, then try to urge Ron Paul to adjust/tweak it a bit so that its down to more of a main stream level of comprehension. Then the uninformed main stream citizen might see Ron Paul has the BEST ideas over the Huckster and company without being too radical for their taste and winning them completely over. Otherwise most are/will not accept Ron Paul and embrace him with open arms with lame stream media portraying him as being way too radical for the good of the country and its national security.
All I can say is I thought this is worth a shot to throw suggestions out here while there is still time and won't be ridiculed as a troll for anti-Paul. Thanks for taking the time read any ideas that may help us WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron Paul is the BEST choice for America period!
