I use this not to instill pessimism but urgency.
My wife and I had a talk the other day about her concerns that I was too wrapped up in Ron Paul, and it gave me an open door to explain to her why that was so.
I explained to her that I'm doing everything I can to contain my support for him, because I think his success is critical at this time in our nation's history.
She asked what I thought would happen if he loses . . . what my fear is.
My fear is that whomever is elected will just pursue the same arrogant foreign policy we've descended down over the last half century. At home, the non-Paul president will just continue to either raise taxes or bankrupt our nation in the same cycle we've been going down.
And my last, greatest fear is that another Ron Paul will not be had peacefully. Ron Paul is someone the establishment never thought could gain any traction, and that he has only has highlighted areas that will need to be "secured" going forward -- i.e. internet regulation, etc..
She's since watched his interview with Beck & Russert, and she seems less concerned -- or perhaps just more understanding -- about my sense of urgency. That's a start, I guess.
Anyone else believe that if Paul doesn't win, we're in for it?
