It is increasingly obvious that the only thing that the pseudo-Conservatives attacking Dr. Paul have to offer is aspersions and insult. In the past two days, there has been a virtual absence of any intellectual content in the attacks. Generally, they misrepresent what he says, then oversimplify the issues involved, and hurl sloganized rant in response to the straw man created.

Ironically, or maybe not, the general public, call them Joe six-pack, sheeple or  whatever, the general populace understands the difference of what you said -- enough to side with Ron Paul and shun the pseudo-conservatives. Why? See tag line?

You make a good point. When I was more directly involved in politics, years back, I found that plain and ordinary blue collar types were easier to persuade, with a traditional Conservative message, than many of the pseudo-intellectuals with a degree; people who had a need to sound trendy. It is the psychology of the crowd, fawning over the Emperor's New Clothes, that drives most of the talking heads in the media; as it does much of the political crowd in Washington.

It does not take a super genius to understand that if your Government was created by a written Constitution--that it had no existence, as such, before that Constitution;--that you had better look to that Constitution to understand the functions and duties of that Government. Nor does it take a genius to understand how political office holders may grasp for power they do not have.

The history of the earth is replete with the history of the overreaching, the grasping. It was with that history in mind, that the Founding Fathers sought to strictly limit the Government that they were creating. Ron Paul has become their voice in the 21st Century.
