Those are largely kids, going more than largely nuts, over a 76 year old dude... talking about reigning in The Fed...

Its either Ron Paul or Obama. The 'republicans' who support romney would rather vote for Obama and ensure their corrupt practices to keep corporate and Zionist interests first. The only way to get a republican in office would be to vote Ron Paul. The Ron Paul people will not support Romney that is a fact for sure. If you want R in office, vote for RP. RP will take his voters with him, if he does not get the nomination. It is looking like Obamas second term.

One of the last lines of defense in people who have come to like Ron Paul but preventing them from being hopeful or willing to vote for him, is the fear that "even if he does win, he'll be the biggest lame duck ever because he'll be all alone and nobody in congress will support him."
This is something we have been convinced of very subtly, but it's not looking at the truth of the movement. If Ron Paul doesn't get the Republican Nomination... those votes are not going to Romney. They also are not going to any other politicians like Romney or Obama. The sort of people who will vote for Ron Paul in November are the sort who are also actively looking for other candidates in their voting area that support the same principles.
In my local area I've seen significant boosts to candidate visibility once they were shown to be following the same path as Ron Paul. This is a shift in voting and involvement in government from within... not just a change of the figure head.
This is why the people who's entire existence depends on the current system operating the way it does are so adamant to convince people it's hopeless. The only media tactics that can remain are to convince people that "well even if this one guy does well, nobody else will support him"... which is turning a knowing blind eye to the truth that many will be voted in who not only support Ron Paul, but have stood up for the same principles themselves on their own.
It's always been true that a calm informed movement can peacefully and swiftly overturn a corrupt system. The system itself tries to turn it into a fight and make it a "violent" revolution as one last shot. We are connected and aware enough to not let it happen this time and have the means to do it.
Namaste.

Good post but just a note, a significant amount of Ron Paul supporters will vote for Obama if Paul isn't the republican nominee.
