You have understand something if you are to understand Ron Pauls actions from the last election.
He is OLD and has been running for this forever. He has always been an outsider. Always.
And he never ever expected to win. He ran to get some discussion, to shake the political system up a bit.
What Ron Paul didn't expect was the massive boost he would get from the internet. The first generation to grow up with the internet had come of voting age and quite frankly we were sick and tired of George Bush and many of us didn't believe in Obama either (and, by the god I don't believe in, were we ever right) and then, seemingly out of nowhere, comes this politician who have something that we would never expect to see -- honestly and fucking integrity. In a politician?
So basically you have a man how is used to being ignored and people who are used to ignore politicians. So he meets the supporters never expecting anything to happen and suddenly the money bombs starts to go of, soldiers overseas donate massively to his campaign and he is making more progress than he had done all the years before.
Basically he was nowhere near ready for the onslaught that came his ways -- much like the shops in west Berlin had no idea what was about to happen when the wall came down -- and really, I can't fault the guy. How could he possibly know that this time it was different? Heck I couldn't have predicted it and I almost live on the internet.
And by the way he has one additional trick up his sleeve that is about to go of in a month or two. It may be worth sticking around to watch.
