How many other top tier contenders for the Presidency have ever had the cojones to come out and flatly state that the prime reason for the right to keep and bear arms is to protect ourselves from tyrannical government? How many have stated that 9/11 only happened because of our lack of support for the Second Amendment in not allowing airlines to arm their crew? I'm not aware of anyone else. All the other guys just see the 2A as a talking point to score points with certain demographics, and they just throw out a few pro-gun soundbytes here and there to throw us "gun guys" a bone. Dr. Paul on the other hand actually has a principled stance on this issue and has held firm on it since he first got elected to the US House back in 1974.
The trouble is, he is such a humble guy... he hates to brag on himself, but he really needs to. People need to know this stuff, like how every quarter this year he has consistently gotten more donations from active duty military than all the other candidates combined. People think his foreign policy is off kilter? Well how come his biggest support comes from the people who are at the pointy end of our foreign policy and are in the best position to see what its consequences truly are?
Not electable? You do realize that a huge margin of Independent voters are very fed up with Obama, as are many anti-war and pro-civil liberties Democrats, who are hoping for ANYONE they can feel good about voting for? Ron Paul has always attracted the independent vote like no other GOP candidate has, and they are the ones who swing elections. And it wouldn't take that many defecting Democrats at all to really nail Obama's coffin shut.
Who I think is unelectable are the big-gov't neo-cons and RINOs. I know lots of people want Obama gone, but I have talked to a lot of other Republicans who are flatly refusing to vote for another RINO just because they look like the lesser of two evils. And you can forget about getting the independent vote or the Democrat vote.
