Topic: Presidential Campaign 2008
Ron Paul Nov 5th Donations sign of an angry Zeitgeist

The incredible funding effort of Nov 5th 2007 will be history for the Ron Paul campaign for President. The angry Zeitgeist has spoken.

I have reached the conclusion that some people get it while others just do not. I have scanned most of the early news articles and TV News pieces on Ron Paul's phenomenal one day contribution surge. I had an immediate sense that the media is responding as if an underlying angry Zeitgeist is contributing to this whole effort. While the Ron Paul Revolution is a decidedly peaceful one and the changes we seek to be performed are hard ones but government is just simply too big. It has failed to be safe to our liberty and must be put on a leash, a crash diet, and liposuction as well as a trim to the claws and teeth while we are at it.

Ron Paul has said that government is supposed to defend our liberty not demand we surrender our liberty for our safety. This type of interventionism at home and abroad has to come to its end in this nation. The establishment can not help but be aware that the angry Zeitgeist has just spoken for all the world to hear.

Ron Paul's now world famous V-th of Nov. fund raising drive to secure our liberties and restore our Constitutional Republic may well be remembered every fifth of November from now on.

I expect we will soon hear from the mouthpieces of an angry Leviathan very quickly in retort.

You are quite right. There are many informed, responsible, reasonable, and creative visionaries trying to imagine a hopeful future to work towards rather than being angry, apathetic, jaded, and cynical. We are empowered and giving of ourselves in every way. We want others to work together with us to fix and liberate this country, returning us to value, out of a sense of duty, service, and love.

You Got It! yes indeed there is a physop campaign at work in these articles. There is a subtle manner putting a crazy face on the "Pauletts" as one peace call the patriots that support Dr. Paul. This is malicious at the very least and exhibits the depth of deception of the Media. This will not end as these organizations such as CNN that have refused to print the story on any page at all fearing that to contribute any more attention will be even a greater disaster of the mud hole pounding efforts of supporting Hillary as growing in the polls....without one mention of Dr. Paul’s long haul from the back stretch to number one...and now putting space beyond the "front runners that make every American want to puke".

There will be NO HELP from the corporate controlled/owned MSM for the Ron Paul campaign...just like all the "official" colonial papers derided the original patriots in 1775 to 1782. Why do you think Paine was handing out leaflets on the streets in New England in the 1770's?

No it will take "we the people" spreading the word person to person, building a huge army of peace, to overthrow an establishment that has been busy entrenching itself since around 1826 (the year Jefferson died).

Join a meetup group...get out and start cnvassing door to door in your town...pool your resources with your group/friends to buy campaign materials to hand out. Boots on the ground is the only way we will build a large enough coalition to bring the change we all seek. United we Stand, Divided we become slaves and/or exterminated.
