Maybe someone that actually cares about things other than stadiums and county and city government consolidation will get the job.
“It has to be more than a Ron Paul revolution.”
Not really a concession speech, but a call-to-arms of the pro-liberty movement. The “next phase” of the “revolution” that he speaks of gives me pause. Is this a sign that Ron Paul will go the way of Bob Barr? Is he hoping to create a new political party, or a coup in the Republican Party?
Paul, references his Liberty PAC and FREE Foundation, as well as a shameless plug of his to be released book. He also tosses out a prospective date for a march on Washington, DC which he may or may not be a part of.
There’s lots of ambiguity here that can be read into. Lets hope this movement wasn’t just a flash in the pan.
Is this just the beginning? I hope so. I agree, this is bigger than Ron Paul.
