Chris Peden loses, Mike Huckabee is a liar, Ron Paul continues the race
Mar 7, 2008 Ron Paul, politics
In this chaotic and corrupt election year, we have seen just about everything. From ballot box tampering to Louisiana state GOP last minute rule changing, to election software being “lost” in transit, to the mainstream media censorship and extreme marginalization and ostracization of Ron Paul, it has become exceedingly obvious that the neoconservative establishment will do anything in its power to keep Ron Paul from succeeding.
Ron Paul took time off of his presidential campaign to defend his seat in Congress. During his Congressional campaign, the media and the leftist wing of the blogosphere were ever hopeful that his opponent, Chris Peden, would defeat him - and thereby invalidate his entire political philosophy and movement. Peden was handily defeated, sending a message to all that Ron Paul still has a place in the American political arena. His revolution carries on. Strangely though, in district 14, 37,220 people voted for Paul for Congress - and only 6,697 of those voted for him for President. The discrepancy has stirred some controversy and public doubt that the numbers are correct; this compounded by the fact that the numbers cannot be verified because there is no paper trail.
Mike Huckabee’s announcement that he is dropping out of the race on March 4th, due to John McCain’s successes in Texas, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Ohio, is indicative of his superficial run for the presidency. If he has the intelligence that I give him the benefit of the doubt for, he knows that McCain still does not have the required number of bound delegates to secure the Republican nomination. His dropping out is a calculated move to lower the probability of a brokered convention occurring, much like Romney’s calculated move to drop out and endorse McCain, despite his obviously fake attempts to discredit McCain’s (nonexistent) conservatism. Romney had that right, so why would he drop out and endorse McCain? Is the war the only important issue in this election?
Ron Paul’s bottom-up, grassroots strategy will be apparent in November. Winning delegates is the name of the game. Don’t believe mainstream media headlines saying Ron Paul has dropped out of the race, because he plans to take delegates to the national convention and hopefully be heard there. Americans have seven months to realize that McCain is unfit to lead and that Ron Paul is still a viable alternative.
