Our View
Ron Paul
In the race for the Republican nomination for the president of the United States, the one candidate we feel offers America’s best hope for much needed change is Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
While candidates in both parties have seized upon the message of change, in reality, with the exception of one candidate, the change being promised is a shift from one special interest group to another.
In the race for the Republican nomination for the president of the United States, the one candidate we feel offers America’s best hope for much needed change is Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
While candidates in both parties have seized upon the message of change, in reality, with the exception of one candidate, the change being promised is a shift from one special interest group to another.
Ron Paul is the only true candidate of change.
Largely ignored by the mainstream media, he has trailed the GOP frontrunners in the initial primaries. He has been labeled as a “radical” by the established political guard in Washington. They fear his message because they know, if Paul is elected, things will change in D.C.
When Thomas Jefferson framed the U.S. Constitution, he envisioned a limited, representative form of government that served the general needs of “we the people of the United States.” What we have now is an ever-growing bureaucracy that is slowly stripping its citizens of basic freedoms and wealth to pay for federal programs that benefit special interest; a Congress too busy pandering so it remains in gridlock and an executive branch that continually exceeds its power as outlined by the Constitution.
In one sentence, Ron Paul wants to give government back to the people.
The Democrats don’t like his message. The established Republican guard doesn’t like his message. Certainly, the Washington Beltway doesn’t like his message.
Yet Paul’s support grows. It is gradual, to be sure, and may not be enough to overcome the mainstream political machine. But as Americans hear his platform of limited government, lower taxes, secure national borders and a return to the constitutional form of government our founders built this nation upon, he is energizing the electorate. In state after state, Paul’s campaign is building momentum and empowering citizens to reclaim their voice in the American political process.
Many political pundits place Paul’s chances of winning the nomination a long shot — if there is any shot at all.
Perhaps. But we still believe that, in America, anything is possible.
Should he be elected, there is little question Paul’s initiatives for change will be stymied by those in Washington who are prospering on the status quo. At a minimum, with a Paul presidency, our federal government will not grow, our taxes will not go up and only a declaration from Congress will send our armed forces into harm’s way.
That, in itself, is a “change” worth voting for.
If we, the people of the United States, truly want to reclaim a more perfect union, Ron Paul is not only our best hope, he is our only hope for real “change.”
In the Republican primary for the president of the United States, the Daily Light strongly endorses Ron Paul.
