After the polls closed on the New Hampshire Primary with Ron Paul coming in a strong second, the Texas Congressman, smiling under the bright lights of the media, stood at the podium of his campaign headquarters in front of a mass of chanting supporters and responded to being labeled "dangerous" by Rick Santorum and others. He said, "I have to chuckle when they describe us as being dangerous. That's one thing they are telling the truth [about]. Because we are dangerous to the status quo in this country..." while a loud and raucous audience clapped, chanted and hollered.
What is it that makes Ron Paul so "dangerous" to a field of Republican hopefuls and re-treads? Is it because he is garnering more airtime as the race continues - bringing his platform to voters who, in the past, may not have heard him speak - a platform which includes a promise to cut the budget by a trillion dollars in his first year and balance the budget in three? Is it because he will bring our troops home from all over the world, allowing other countries to live their lives as they see fit, without interference from the U.S? Or are they afraid that Ron Paul is waking up Americans with common sense and a simple truth?
Why not Ron Paul as president? Why not this gentleman from Texas? He stands for everything that America strives to be and what Americans want from this great country - Liberty. If he was 6'4" and wore a cowboy hat, he would be the quintessential American Cowboy - Quiet, humble, honest and loyal with a fierce sense of right and wrong. A man of peace, who doesn't look for a fight, but who, when the fight comes his way, meets it head on, with honor - just as he did when called to duty during the Vietnam war - asking no quarter nor hiding behind his wife and two children. When all other Candidates are telling you what you want to hear, Ron Paul looks you in the eye and tells you what he believes in - take it or leave it. Very simple stuff here.
Many are put off by Dr. Paul's foreign policy, labeling him an Isolationist. But the truth of the matter is that he is not an Isolationist, but a non-interventionist. He believes that each country has the right to live the way they desire. To defend themselves in whatever fashion they choose. Have whatever political system they decide upon - without everyone and their brother putting their nose in. But, should there ever come a time when our country needs to defend itself, he believes you follow the Constitution, have Congress sign a Declaration of War and then go in, finish it quickly and get out.
Ron Paul is a man of ideas, but these aren't new ideas. These are the same beliefs that our Forefathers had when they first set down to draft the Constitution. He is the only candidate that will stand up for the American people and end the madness in Washington. Term limits, End the Fed, get rid of the IRS, Capitol Gains and Death Taxes (the more money in your pocket, the more you have to spend and the better the economy).
So, is Ron Paul Dangerous? Only if you work for the IRS, the Fed, the Senate or the House. No more free rides in Washington.
The bottom line is this - Ron Paul is a statesman in a room full of politicians. Do your due diligence when deciding who to vote for. Vote for the candidate that stands for what you believe in, and who, in turn, will stand beside you to fight for that belief. Win, lose or draw, you will know you have done the right thing.
