Dr. Ron Paul
Despite the media blackout, Ron Paul is still a leading candidate in the 2012 U.S. presidential election against President Barack Obama. On Sunday May 6 2012, the results out of Nevada and Maine marked a historical event in the history of presidential elections. He won overall 43 delegates in the two states, who he will be bringing to Tampa, Florida for the national convention. Ron Paul, who has run for president three times altogether, continues to de facto shape national debate and the coming presidential election.
When looked at in terms of how the election has been covered by national media outlets, one would presume that Paul was a third party candidate – say, along the lines of his former self, Ralph Nader or Ross Perot. But, the reality is Ron Paul has reshaped the image of the Republican Party in the United States. A libertarian leading, populist candidate is effectively the candidate of a mainstream corporate-party.
The intellectual awakening in the United States, largely abetted by the world wide web, has led thousands of “independent” US citizens to align themselves with a corporate-party. Moreover, they do not identify themselves with this party, but truly the general platform of a philosophically sound man who has been brave enough to use a corporate-party in his bid for president.
Of course, there is a distinction between the President of the United States and the Presidency. As Zbigniew Brzezinski made note of in his book “Between Two Ages,” the President of the United States will, in the then coming decades, represent nothing more than a personality for the entertainment of the mass public. It appears, however, that a great many Ron Paul supporters know this, and Ron Paul’s impressive results in his 2012 presidential campaign is not the revolution itself in the United States, but instead is representative of a popular grassroots movement sweeping through all facets of daily life in the United States (and globally) for many individuals.
Indeed, on May 6, 2012 Ron Paul took 22 of the 25 available delegates in Nevada and 21 of 24 in Maine. Mitt Romney should be totally embarrassed. His lackluster support left no contest for Paul. The entire establishment should be embarrassed that their propaganda has failed so utterly to hoodwink the American people. Their fore-bearers, kings, are rolling in their graves, ashamed. Expect a continuation in the undoing of civil liberties in the United States, as totalitarian forces harden against reasonable and sane people so as to maintain power.
Again, what a joke for Mitt Romney. 13 national delegates were taken by Ron Paul. And these are the official results.
The mainstream obfuscates the results in their cheesy ways, making themselves more and more irrelevant. Nobody cares about the mainstream media, and that is why Ron Paul has succeeded in Nevada and Maine. Provided that the arcane mainstream news continues to see its ratings plummet, and the people build-up sufficient defenses in the face of a very dangerous ruling class (government and transnational corporations and banks), Barack Obama’s fairy-blue campaign “Forward” should (moral imperative) be no contest.
