The
Ron Paul Trifecta
Just who is Ron Paul (Not to be confused
with Ru Paul)? He is a 10th-term Congressman from the 14th
district of Texas and he is the only 2008 Republican presidential
candidate to have voted against the Iraq War in 2002. His stance on
limited government, sound fiscal policy, a non-interventionist
foreign policy and the elimination of the IRS and the private Federal
Reserve has created a movement that is sweeping America. Ron Paul is
also a physician (M.D.) and a former US Air Force Flight Surgeon
during the Vietnam War; Dr. Ron Paul is the Congressman for
truth, the doctor with the cure for what's ailing America and
the Veteran that knows a thing or two about ending war: The
Ron Paul Trifecta.
Ron
Paul sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the Republican candidates
because he’s a real conservative and not a boot licking,
pro-torture, war mongering, free speech limiting neo-conservative.
Recently, at the latest debate on the Fox News network, America
witnessed what the Republican Party does to a candidate that
exercises free speech and simply states the facts: When Ron Paul
suggested that international terrorism and 9/11 are a result of
blowback from our 50 years of foreign intervention in the Middle East
plus a full decade of incessant bombing in Iraq, Rudy Giuliani jumped
at the opportunity to wrap himself in the “9/11 Hero” cloak.
Giuliani claimed that he had never heard that before, and it was
absurd to say that terrorism and 9/11 are caused by our foreign
policy.
That's
interesting; The 9/11 Commission is the official authority on what
happened on 9/11 and the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission Report was
that it was blowback from our Middle East foreign policy. Has the
former mayor of New York City even read the report? One would hope so
since the attack did take place there. But never mind that: This is
Fox News and the Republican party we’re talking about – Who cares
about facts? They obviously do not. Directly following the debate was
an immediate smear job and attack on Ron Paul for suggesting what a
majority of Americans already know. Somehow, Ron Paul’s words soon
became “America asked for it” when in fact, it was an obvious
spin crusade by Fox News pundits and the Republican Party. So much
for “We Report, You Decide” and instead, “We Decide, You
Accept.”
Shortly thereafter, a movement was started within the Republican Party to ban Ron Paul from future GOP debates. Michigan GOP chairman, Saul Anuzis, wanted to spearhead a petition to keep Paul out. However, after making this announcement, his office was immediately inundated with thousands of calls, emails and letters from outraged Americans who couldn't believe that the GOP wanted to ban and silence one of its own prominent members. They were flooded with so many calls that they actually had to shut down their entire office! The following day, Saul Anuzis retracted his statement and stated that he no longer had a desire to continue with the petition; This is a direct result of the Ron Paul Trifecta.
So
why would there be such an extensive campaign to smear and destroy
Ron Paul? After all, he's just a 2nd tier candidate as
stated by FOX and a 3rd tier candidate as proclaimed by
petition retractor, Saul Anuzis. Maybe it has something to do with
the fact that he won MSNBC's poll following the MSNBC GOP debate and
placed 2nd in FOX's poll over Giuliani in the May 15th
GOP debate. Or maybe it's because Ron Paul is YouTube's #1 most
viewed presidential candidate, #1 in Technorati's search, and #5 in
Google's search. Whatever the case may be, the pundits and talking
heads are scrambling and trying to explain this phenomenon but it’s
pretty clear: The American people are sick and tired of these
establishment candidates that cater to special interest groups,
lobbyists, and corporate cronyism.
They started off by ignoring Ron Paul but after they saw that ignoring him wasn’t working they’ve set out on a campaign to eliminate the Texas candidate that comes with no strings attached and not afraid to speak the truth. We face a crisis that many people recognize but few understand. It’s time to take back America and Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate that has unequivocally sworn allegiance to the Constitution and to serving the American people: not to corporate America.
