Ron Paul Supporters Work Hard in New Hampshire

The mainstream media never fails to include with its reports on the Ron Paul campaign some variation on the phrase, "he can't win." In an exclusive for The New American Online, well-known New Hampshire columnist Jack Kenny points out that the Texas congressman has more support than the media will admit.

The December 14 Wall Street Journal carried an interesting article by Kimberly A. Strassel on Ron Paul. From the way it starts out, one might conclude that there is no way anyone can stop the Ron Paul juggernaut from ending up in the White House in 2008.

"If there's been a phenomenon in this Republican presidential race," Strassel writes, "it's been the strength of a fiery doctor from Texas and his message of limited government. As the GOP front-runners address crowds of dispirited primary voters, Mr. Paul has been tearing across the country, leaving a trail of passionate devotees in his wake."

From this, it sounds like this guy might be the front-runner. Strassel continues:

"Paul rallies heave with voters waving placards and shouting "Liberty! Liberty!" Money is pouring in from tens of thousands of individual donors — so much cash that the 10-term congressman recently admitted he wasn't sure he could spend it all. A fund-raising event on Guy Fawkes Day (in tribute to Mr. Paul's rebel persona) netted his campaign $4 million, the biggest one-day haul of any GOP candidate, ever. He continues to inch up in the early primary polls, and even bests Fred Thompson in New Hampshire."

Wow. It sounds like Ron Paul is the real deal.

But wait just a minute. He can't win: "Mr. Paul isn't going to be president," Strassel says. In other words, don't waste your vote. Besides, she says, Paul has "kooky ideas."

Those ideas, of course, only sound "kooky" to doctrinaire leftists who have never cracked the cover on a history book, who have never read the Constitution, and who never met a government program they didn't like.

While the eastern establishment that Strassel and the WSJ represent may be quite too obtuse to ever comprehend the freedom message, American voters around the country do get the message, and, as journalist Jack Kenny illustrates with numerous examples from his home state of New Hampshire, they are willing to work hard to see that the message translates into electoral victory.

Whatever happens with the Ron Paul campaign, as a result of its activities a long slumbering giant may have finally awakened in the form of Americans dedicated to the founding principles of this great nation. From this point forward, electoral contests may never be the same. Though the internationalist establishment may not yet know it, the Ron Paul campaign is a herald announcing that the era of big government is soon to be over.
