I think that those who are pointing the finger of suspicion at Ron Paul could just as easily follow their own advice. While it is good to ask questions and remain skeptical of ALL those in positions/potential positions of power, I believe that it is also possible to be zealously suspicious. Almost religiously antagonistic to any possibility that someone like Ron Paul... or anyone for that matter... may ACTUALLY be sincere in thought and deed.

With that said, it is true that 2008 should have taught everyone a valuable lesson. It is never good to allow oneself to be swept up in the hysteria of the masses. That type of frenzy feeds lemming-esque behavior, and there's usually a cliff somewhere in the distance.

I suppose my point is that I am cautiously optimistic about Dr. Paul. He strikes me as genuine, and while I don't blindly subscribe to his every suggestion, I can safely say that were he to run for President in 2012, I'd be likely to vote for him, barring some unforeseen and unsavory revelation.

For the record, I would like to state that it does bother me the way some Paul supporters say he would be our LAST HOPE or the SAVIOR of our Nation. No one person can be that. The President's power is limited. The best we can do is choose the candidate that with all of our investigative resources best lines up with what we believe is best of the Country. For me, that is looking like Ron Paul. Someone else may step in and impress me more, or Ron Paul may disappoint me. I have no illusions that any one man can either save or destroy us. It so happens that our own cynicism and ignorance has played a big role in our fate thus far. To blame it entirely on Obama or Bush or the man behind the curtain is in some ways passing the buck as we comfortably sit in front of our computers playing armchair politics.
