Welcome to my WordPress.com. This is my first post.
Frankly I have not been watching the election debates much this year. I’ve been registered as independent in past two elections. The two main parties and their candidates seem to have fallen into suicidal herd mentality. One remarkable exception seems to be the 72 year old Ron Paul, who is changing the conversation and direction of the election debate in a most engaging way.
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” - Abraham Lincoln
Ron Paul has integrity, wisdom and insight that is rare in politics. It is worth listening to Ron, even if you dislike most Libertarians or Republicans.
Ron has attracted large following among youth, students, grassroot activists and online Wikipedia readers. He has been described as “the mouse that roared” as the Chinese zodiac year of Rat started on february 7th, 2008. He is not shy about questioning our key economic institution the FED and IRS
Thirty-five percent of all Americans currently identify themselves as independents. Roughly 22% of the electorate are registered as such. A new non-partisan grassroot group CUIP provides tactical and political support to local independent activists, organizations and political entities, and they may choose to support particular candidates. Its strategy is essentially a fusion strategy – it is based on the recognition that independent voters can “cross-endorse” a candidate whether or not state law allows candidates to run under more than one party designation. (Most states don’t.) It’s designed to develop independents beyond the major-party category of “swing voters” to becoming a third force capable of exercising political power.
