I have been taking a lot of flack for being a Ron Paul guy lately. And in large part I laugh and roll with the punches. After all, your friends are a reflection of your values and the freak show does roll in for a lot of RP events. It is entertaining for everyone. :)
However the thing that bugs me most is the frequent comment that RP simply can't win. Pardon me for being a grammar snob, but he can win. It is in the realm of possibility that Ron Paul could win. It is legally an option. For some it is morally and ethically an option. Increasingly it is looking like a financially possible scenario. Politically it is a long shot - but there a vast chasm between "can't win" and "not likely to win".
Which begs the question - why does everyone feel the obvious need to be a political expert and render the verdict "can't win" so flippantly? Laziness in speech comes to mind. Maybe they don't want him to win. Maybe (for those that think we didn't go to the moon) there is something more sinister behind it...
So - in private musing - I think it is possible. And the more one thinks it is possible, the more one sees it is probably. RP is my man. A man in the political world but not of the political world. The more you read about him - you will realize he is not sold out to special interests. He is a simple man who truly believes in government of people, for the people - not for lobbyists and special interests...

Well said...I agree with you 100%. My dad is actually involved with the Ron Paul campaign in Portland. My dad gave me a bunch of literature on Ron Paul as well as some youtube links, and it was so refreshing to see that Ron Paul is not a sell out. There's a bunch of signs out here in Spokane that say, "Not for sale...Ron Paul". I love it!! It's funny when you watch the debates with Ron Paul and McCain...McCain (a liberal in my mind) can't stand Ron and you can tell he feel's threatened by the damage RP will do in the primaries. RP all the way!!
