Even a Canadian See's Ron Paul's Influence
"Goldwater did not win, but in his own way he helped rebuild the Jeffersonian wing of the American political system that went missing in the 20th century. Ronald Reagan, despite his betrayals and weaknesses, was a rhetorical embodiment of the Goldwater Revolution and now Ron Paul is a further element of what is turning into a full-fledged Jeffersonian resurgence."He makes a good point that a lot of people fail to understand in the mainstream media. Even if Ron Paul doesn't win he has amassed an army of people devoted to promoting him and the message of freedom. If Ron Paul loses they will still be active in the community because of him. They might wait until he endorses some other candidates or they might run one them self. Every time they quote 2% in polls they are in for a surprise.First of all only old people who register as Republican get polled. He has woken people up! Because he gets to be on the stage in the debates and speak forcefully to the camera the message isn't stifled. This is getting people to actually think? Maybe protest a stupid law that you just payed the fine on. Maybe pass out flyers at the metro or maybe, just maybe, vote in a primary! What's a primary?
