- HOW RON PAUL CURED MY APATHY: 5
pages
Having sworn off politicians altogether, it
was quite a surprise when I found myself drawn to Ron Paul, Republican
candidate for president. But his unconventional ideas, when grasped
in their entirety (as opposed to 30-second sound bites) have the intriguing
allure of being "just crazy enough to work."
I
had sworn off politicians. I really had. But as the primaries in New
Hampshire and Iowa bear down on us, I have found myself daring to believe
in a man running for president. Whether you've never heard of Ron Paul,
or have only heard his name mentioned as a punchline, check out my new
essay and use it as the jumping off point for you own research into
this truly unique and revolutionary candidate. You could "just
vote for Rudy" as a lot of people seem to be doing, and he or any
of the other guys from the Grand Old Party will probably do a reasonable
job. You could just vote for Hillary and experience the empty thrill
of getting a woman into office. Or you could take a few minutes to consider
Ron Paul and realize that he is proposing real and sweeping changes
to the status quo. Changes that are just crazy enough to work... even
if they make him inherently "unelectable."
Most people don't realize it, but there really is a difference between "redneck" and "white trash." Redneck really has to do with WHERE you live. White trash, on the other hand, is all about HOW you live.
