This evening, Ron Paul will no longer be a member of Congress.
It has happened before. At the end of this day in January 1977 he was no longer a member of Congress. He had lost by 268 votes out of over 180,000. At the end of this day in 1985, he was no longer a member of Congress. He had resigned to run for the Senate. He did not get the nomination.
Twice he came back. There will not be a third time. He has other fish to catch.
I was on his staff in 1976. I saw Congress close-up. Once was enough. I explained why in 1977: "Confessions of a Washington Reject."
Ron Paul never fit in on Capitol Hill. There are reasons for this. Four reasons.

Ron Paul is a great man. I think he was the only chance we had for America.
ReplyDeletei didn't agree with some of paul's ideas on geo-political issues and i knew he didn't stand a chance to win, but he was a good man who couldn't be bought. a wonderful lifes lesson in this story.
ReplyDeletei pray his son does very well and stands firm while serving.
Money, Sex, Power...and Booze.
ReplyDeleteTrue not only of Capitol Hill, but Salisbury, too.
This is why honorable people like Debbie Campbell, Terry Cohen and Tim Spies get beat to hell by people like Ireton, Dunn, the Daily Times, the slumlords, etc.
They are real people who aren't into the sick plays of politics. Debbie, you will have my vote again.
Too bad there not 436 of him running our "government".
