The Ron Paul Pandemic
Whether you like him or not, Ron Paul has become a worldwide phenomenon. His banners fly in the skies over US cities. His signs are springing up alongside our nationīs highways. Bumper stickers are appearing on cars, it seems almost spontaneously. Certain days of commemoration are set up to donate on his behalf. His supporters show up in droves to wave signs and inform the uninformed of Ron Paulīs message of peace, hope and freedom. He even has a blimp to rival Goodyearīs paid for by private citizens to help spread his rEVOLution. It is a spontaneous campaign that depends not upon a flashy candidate who attracts supporters through his cult of personality, but rather depends on the supporters to follow their own gut feelings on how to best spread the message of the campaign. It is exactly this kind of spontaneity, this kind of freedom to act as one sees necessary, attracting many Ron Paul supporters not only in this nation, but in countries across the planet.
One might ask, what is it about Ron Paul that causes such excitement and devotion? After all, he appears to be just a nice 72 year old grandfatherly type gentleman. Heīs not particularly well spoken or sexy. In fact, with the rampant ageism prevalent in our society, Iīm surprised he gets any support at all. I like to say that itīs the message, but certainly there must be more to it than that. Well, I have to admit there probably is. Ron Paulīs message is the most powerful asset of his campaign as he propels it forward, but there are some things about Ron that make him appealing to a variety of people.
