Ron Paul keeps the Revolution on track!

Ron Paul held a news conference at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in support of his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. "What kept me going ... I think it was the enthusiasm from my supporters. They just wouldn't let me go away," he told a small group of reporters. That's the point. Ron Paul has supporters across the USA determined not to let the message of change die. Come the presidential election in November, John McCain's support base will fizzle out the next day and go its separate ways. Ron Paul's support base will carry on.

By staying in the race, Ron Paul is making a statement. That the convention matters, and that his viewpoints and those of his campaign need to be heard. The other contenders all folded their tents, now trying to flog off the remnants in camping stores!

Richard McCloud, an unemployed labourer, is a good example of a Ron Paul supporter. McCloud drove two hours from Uniontown to Indiana University of Pennsylvania to see the Texas congressman and former physician. "If given a chance, he could be as great a president as Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. He does what he says and says what he does. This is a true American patriot, my man!" Now why would anybody want to impede the progress of a man who "does what he says and says what he does"? The sort of politician who has got us into an illegal war, keeps up the pretence that all is well in the financial markets, and who rubs shoulders with the lobbying classes, that's who!

Truth will out, it is said. But we also have to be on a constant vigil against the lies, the deceits, and the general spinning of political people, who do want they want, and not as they say!
