The Revolution Continues: United We Stand
In 1976 outsiders started a Revolution that took over the Republican Party. It was called the Reagan Revolution. In 2008, Ron Paul supporters see themselves in a similar position. Instead of fighting the machine, supporters of Dr. No are trying hard to turn the machine in a direction that favors constitutional rights and traditional conservative values. In Massachusetts, the Paul supporters are having a big impact.
It is no secret at the convention that Tuesday's hottest tickets were for the Ron Paul rally. It was not just Ron Paul supporters who went from MA. Notably there was State Sen. Bob Hedlund from the Plymouth and Norfolk district who is the highest elected member of the MA delegation. By Wednesday night, the unity between the delegations was so strong that Paul some supporters were sporting Sarah Palin buttons and MA Republican Party Executive Director Rob Willington was wearing a sporty Ron Paul button.
Over three days, the Paul supporters, who are about a third of the delegation, have been talking about not only helping defeat Barrack Obama in November, but continuing to build the party from the inside after the election. They plan to run for local and state office (some already are), they plan to run for vacant seats on the Republican State Committee and rebuild there Republican Town Committees. Over the last three days Paul supporters who came to the convention as outsiders after credentials challenges and snide comments have largely been accepted as good Republicans who care about their country, their party and the Constitution of the United States. They have been embraced as much as any other wing of the party.
The MA Paul supporters proved their political prowess and mettle as well by shining light on National Convention Secretary Jean Inman, by delivering all 43 MA votes to Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin. If the Paul supporters started like the minutemen with rifles behind trees, they come home from the convention with experience lieutenants who have been able to bring new cannons to the fight.

A sign of a Third World country is that its systems don't work well because the government is for sale. When you can bribe anyone in the government to get what you want, regardless of the death and suffering that it causes to the population, that is a sign of very deep sickness in the nation. No society that allows a high level of organic corruption, of the outright buying of votes in its parliament or congress, will function well. That is why so many African and other Third World nations are failed states. This is happening more and more to America.
We are in a madman's race to see what kills us first, corporate food and medical nightmares or the ever increasing march to global war by the neo-cons.
so....I'm glad we are building alliances and reworking the GOP, but I wouldn't feel great about giving my vote to mccain. How was that good?
I can see clearly now the internet is here... I see all the obstacles the political parties throw our way...
Yes, the informed and educated voters are the best hope for this country. You can see how "The PARTIES" put themselves above and beyond the US CONSTITUTION and the good for the people and land.
It is absolutely apparent that almost all the politicians inside the DC beltway and throughout the individual states serve their Masters; the Corporations, The big money donors, the Wealth, the Elitist, the Zionist, the Neocons and of course the wealthy Lobbyist like AIPAC. These are identities of the string pullers of the marionettes/puppets in the Nation and State capitals.
Until covert funding, donations to "THE PARTY" and elected officials who have true morals and a conciseness to the people, this country is head to the Cess Pool. Whether it be Socialistic dictatorship of the Democrats or the Fascist State of the NEOCON Republicans, you can count on a simile version of Totalitarianism and/or Oligarchy.
The people that lose are the Upper Middle through Poor/poverty classes. But this is what happens when ignorant Americans give up their freedoms and rights to a conjured-up slick policies written by Lobbying/Special Interest groups and rubber stamped by the government.
Some points to ponder on:
The new 4th branch of government: Main Stream Media (MSM)
Notice how bills and laws are passed for the favor 1/100 of 1% of the population while the other 99.9999% suffer? Especially, when the government does it for Revenue/money.
Notice how congress packages Bills with 10's or even 100's of bills in one for a single vote?
Notice how Congress/Special Interest Name bills as Heroic or Patriotic to take or cost the taxpayers more, all to serve themselves.
Take a look at Israel, the state which land equals New Jersey... Congress gives them 30 Billion in direct AID over 10 years, but the devil is in the detitems like forgiving defaulted Loans, emergency AID, subsidized trade/goods, museums for jewish people built in other countries like Poland. Now it's adding up to $5-7 Billion each year in Taxpayers money.
How's it done? look at all the SENIOR LEVEL federal government officials in key position that are Jewish and have DUAL CITIZENSHIP. yeap... everywhere
