In spite of attempts by the efforts by Michigan state Republican leaders to have Ron Paul’s name left off the panel for a debate, Paul took his revolution message to the party, amidst a maelstrom of unexpected support. His presence was unwelcome by the party leaders due to his consistent anti-government message, but he appears to be reaching the voters.
His numbers on polls have not shown the same optimism he carries to campaign meetings and rallies, according to the figure on the presidential poll site, www.usaelectionpolls.com, as he continues to be consistently located near the bottom of the numbers at about two percent or lower.
While come other top tier Republican candidates are beginning to realize that the need for change message is working for the Democrats, Paul has been preaching that sermon since the start of his campaign. The large number of dock workers that showed up for his appearance is a testament to his potential, considering that perceived front-runner Rudy Giuliani chose the ferry as his mode of transportation to the debate location.
He spoke about the killings being conducted by the government: the federal reserve blamed for killing the dollar and the war in Iraq killing soldiers. He also blames the income tax and government intervention for killing the economy and Americans’ freedoms.
His message is being aimed at independent voters, many mostly Republican who have become jaded in their view of Republican politics, as well as those who want more control taken from the federal government and given back to the states.
