Thread: The Price Paid for the Republican Rejection of Ron Paul

On Sunday nights, our pastor has been preaching a series of sermons from the first and second books of Kings, which chronicles the decline and ultimate destruction of Old Testament Israel. There is a consistent theme, and that is the fact that both the Northern and the Southern kingdoms rejected the prophets who tried to bring the message of justice and righteousness.

While I hardly am going to liken Ron Paul to Isaiah or claim that the USA is Biblical Israel, nonetheless there is a parallel. Ron Paul for many years has tried to provide an example for Republicans, especially in the years following 9/11. He has called for liberty, for sound money, and for real justice.

What has been the Republican response? They first tried to defeat him by paying people to run against him in primaries. When that did not work, they marginalized him. During the campaign, they made false accusations against him, and they got the "Beltway Libertarians" to further launch attacks on him by claiming he was a racist.

The last straw came during the Republican convention. Whenever Paul delegates stepped to the mikes to make comments, the microphones were shut off and security was summoned to remove them from the premises. Paul delegates were shut out of the platform talks and from every other meaningful discussion.

Instead, the delegates cheered the "country first" mantra, with its wars and economic interventions. Today, we will see the fruits of those poisonous seeds.

You see, the Republicans still claimed the mantle of freedom and free enterprise, but in reality were promoters of the corporate state. Instead of seeing businesses as good things in themselves, they saw businesses as an ATM to be tapped for campaign cash and other "K-Street Project" activities. When Ron Paul and others protested, the Republican leadership stopped their ears. They listened, instead, to "political geniuses" Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, who truly led this party down the road to destruction.

Today, the voters will utterly smash the Republican Party for good. The Democrats will permit a small remnant to remain in order to preserve the facade of "competitive" elections. They will make sure that the few Republicans in Congress have relatively safe seats, and as long as they don't rattle their cages, they will be permitted to enjoy all of the financial and ceremonial perks of their jobs.

Ron Paul had a message that works. Had the Republicans listened, they would not be facing the massacre they face today. The Republicans had an opportunity, but they rejected it. Today, the voters will reject them.

Funny thing about truth.....it isn't right or wrong, it just is. You can't spin it or twist it for any length of time without it working back at you. Truth just is and people didn't want to hear the truth......funny thing though.....when you hear it.....even when you don't like it.....you know it. It just sits on you......and you know.

The MSM really did a number on Ron Paul, who IMO has been one of the most honest men in the Republican party. He has leveled with the American people.

The msm did a number on Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes and the rest of the good guys, it just wasnt' Ron Paul, who by the way, was against building the fence. Duncan Hunter built one heck of a fence in S Cal.

Yeah, but at least the GOP/Fox News welcomed Hunter with open arms to all the debates. Remember when they excluded Ron Paul from one of the debates and Tancredo was the only one who stood up and said that Ron Paul should have been invited?
