A buddy of mine found this on google video and I started watching it. Haven't finished it but it's a very interesting view on what happened with Ron Paul.

The thing I like about ron paul is that he just defaults to what the constitution says about issues. Most politicians and people think that whatever their opinion on an issue is the right way, and the constitution is never mentioned in today's politics. But thats why the mainstream media shut him down, because they need the masses to be ignorant of the constitution in order to push their corporate agenda. Simple as that.

Truely, it takes sheer ignorance and utter lack of reasoning  to go from supporting one candidate, and within a matter of weeks, if not days, start supporting his polar opposite.

yet, barack's entire campaign was built on "change", and people clearly voted for him. whats the difference between talking about "change", and actually trying to get things changed?

The difference between those two things is 100 miles wide.  For most Americans its all very well to talk about change, but when a radical change threatens their percieved "security", they don't want to hear anything about it.  With freedom comes responsibility and most Americans aren't ready for that.

Also Ron Paul had some really good ideas, and I agree with his being for constitutionalism, states rights, marijuana legalization, and other things.  However he wasn't an amazing public speaker among other weaknesses and I don't think he could have really been a viable candidate.  But even a stronger candidate with his points of view would have no chance of winning an election until the masses have learned to free their minds from mass media enslavement and learn to truly think for themselves.
