Has Ron Paul pulled out of the race? No. But the media would have you think so. He is not missing, he has just been dismissed from the attention of the media. From the debates to the primaries and caucuses, the media has had an extremely effective blackout on Dr. Paul. His voice has not been heard in the media, and I think I know why.
The Media is afraid. The fourth estate, which is predicated upon the freedoms of speech and press, is suppressing this man's voice. He did not have the CEO good looks of Romney. In truth, he looks more like someone's grandfather than anything else (actually he reminds me of John Mahoney, who plays the elder Crane on the television sitcom "Frasier"). He is only a year and a few days older than John McCain, so age should not be a factor for him, if it isn't for McCain. He is not the eloquent speaker that Obama is, but at least Dr. Paul speaks on facts, and not emotion. And compared to Hillary, well, enough said there.
America, do you want change? Write in the name of Dr. Paul if he is not on the November Ballot. Vote for him if there is a caucus or primary in your area. I agree with Obama that we need change, but not the kind of change Obama espouses. We need a change back to the gold standard of currency to keep governmental powers and inflation in check. We need a change back to the form of goverment that ensures that states oversee the central government, and not the other way around. We need a military presence on our on shores to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We need to change back to the philosophy of less governement, and more personal reliance. Yes, we need a change to move from the socialistic policies of today to the independence driven, non-government-dependent value system of our forefathers.
You want a vote for change? Vote for Ron Paul.
