He was instrumental in grassroots campaigning in 2008 when he ran for President and was able to encourage the support of a younger group of voters that were fed up with traditional Republicans and Democrats, as well as the “fantasy change” of Barack Obama.
His philosophy has largely been inspired by our nation’s founding fathers, and uses common sense and our Constitution as “the real road map” to get his message across. He’s called for abolishing the IRS, CIA and an out of control Federal Reserve. He speaks like an average American Joe and not some typical politician that speaks like a hawk. Now, he is joining in a group of not-so appealing Republican contenders for the 2012 Presidential race.
He is Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.
Congressman Paul, who is a physician and apparently understands basic economics, better than anyone else in Washington, D.C. had ran for President even before 2008. In 1988, he ran on the Libertarian ticket, and then in 2008, despite his unprecedented massive grassroots campaign, he only garnered about 10% of the vote in the Republican primaries.
But now that we have seen a train wreck under Obama, which includes a laundry list of extending some of the policies that made Bush very unpopular, massive spending, larger government, no transparency, unemployment, high inflation and three wars in the Middle East, Congressman Paul may have a better chance at getting elected this time around.
His message resonates with a younger crowd, especially for college students who want to grow up in the same America as our parents and grandparents did. As it looks right now, that type of America is more than likely gone forever. Despite that the older generation of America and the bureaucrats in Washington D.C. want the status quo; things in this country are not the same as they used to be and they will never be the same. But Congressman Paul has carried the goal for a long time now, to restore at least the real American values and principals that have been lost.
Having grown tired of Republicans and Democrats that have been ruining the country, it seems that a larger portion of Americans have awakened to the fact that you can have a President who is not going to sell their soul to corporate America and will abide by the U.S. Constitution.
Ron Paul certainly represents these qualities and perhaps “third time’s a charm” in 2012, will get Paul elected as President of the United States.
