A Lonely Ron Paul Supporter Speaks

Filed under: News, Supporters — Admin @ 11:09 pm

Shimshon Weisman is possibly the loneliest Ron Paul supporter on Earth… at least he thinks he is. Shimshon lives in Judah, in Israel. I guess that makes him isolated from America, but probably not lonely. He should live in my town in Australia and try being a Ron Paul supporter.

Shimshon has written a letter in support of Ron Paul that deserves repeating, copying and sending to every breathing American. Here is an excerpt from it with a link to the full letter… 

If there is someone better qualified to accept the mantle of leadership, stand aside and let him do so. But if not, if you are qualified, it is not just permissible, but obligatory for you to do so. Dr. Paul didn’t seek this race. He was reluctant. He was skeptical. He knew it would get ugly. He knew about his skeletons. Yet when his supporters drafted him, he assessed the situation and saw there was no one else, and rose up and accepted the challenge. Is he the ideal candidate for the job? Maybe not. Is he too old? Possibly. Is there anyone better prepared to run? No.

After the stinging fifth (but not last) place finish in New Hampshire, and the wide dissemination of the embarrassing old newsletters, I thought it was time to call it quits. Dr. Paul has decided to continue the fight. He has learned from his mistakes and grown from them. His performance in the South Carolina debate shows that. No longer will he let the media steer him off to irrelevant and mocking lines of questioning. I’m sure next time he’ll be prepared when they pull a stunt like turning off his earpiece to make him look foolish. As he said, not at all amused, “make fun buddy.”
