First they tried to ignore him, then they tried to embarrass him, and now the attack dogs are out in full- force. In a desperate attempt they are trying to dig up any dirt from his past, but Ron Paul doesn't have any skeletons in his closet. He is a model of consistency, which can't be said for most politicians. The hit pieces are mounting, and many are trying to misrepresent him and his message, but to no avail. You must be doing something right when you are getting attacked from all sides. If Ron Paul has no chance of winning and he is nothing more then a second-tier candidate, as many are suggesting, why is there such a concerted effort to discredit and silence him?

Ron Paul is a threat to the establishment, to the Republicans and Democrats, and to this whole fake paradigm. A transformation is taking place, and he represents the common-sense revolution. Many in the anti-war movement who supported the Democrats and helped them gain control of the Senate and Congress now feel betrayed. He is restoring hope to those who have given up on the political process and his passion for freedom has many gravitating to his campaign. He is the only one out of the Republican presidential candidates who opposed the Iraq war. He favors a humble foreign policy and wishes to spread democracy by setting a good example-- one that other countries will want to emulate. The good doctor prescribes a restoration of the constitution, and his message of liberty, limited government, lower taxes, and preserving American sovereignty is resonating with many voters.

Recently, Ron Paul was not invited to participate in a Republican candidate's forum in Iowa. The event was co-sponsored by the Iowans for Tax Relief. Something didn't seem right-- after all, Dr. Paul has never voted to raise taxes. It then came out that one of the key organizers was active in the sinking ship that is now the John McCain campaign. What a contrast to Ron Paul, who has momentum and is a candidate on the rise. Something had to be done to try and slow him down. Ron Paul stated, “It's the control by the political establishment to want to exclude the viewpoints, which many people consider telling the truth.â€
