Ron Paul Slides into Top Tier and Wins Debate States Thomas Woods

Trading blows with Santorum, Ron Paul comes out in front of the talking points to lead the pack in Ames with clarity and solutions.

Ames, Iowa (PRWEB) August 12, 2011

“Within two hours of last night’s Republican presidential debate, Ron Paul was the number three search on Google Trends ““ well above any competitor, with only two others even in the top 20. As usual, he had said things Americans weren’t used to hearing,” stated Thomas Woods of Revolution PAC

“Once again, Ron Paul distinguished himself in a Republican presidential debate by telling Americans the truth,” said Woods, “answering the questions he was asked, and refusing to treat his countrymen like ten-year-olds who should be spoken to in bumper-sticker slogans.”

“On the economy,” Woods continued, “everyone talked about lower taxes, cutting spending, and a balanced budget ““ the usual boilerplate. Only Ron Paul sought to explain why we have recessions in the first place. Only Ron Paul mentioned the critical role of the Federal Reserve System in blowing up the bubbles that have popped in America over the past decade. Only Ron Paul explained that the monetary system we have, whereby money can be created out of thin air whenever the political class wants it, is a recipe for the very kind of disaster we are living through right now.

“To be sure, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had some critical words for particular Fed policies, but surely his recent criticism of the Fed is one of the exceedingly rare times, if not the only time, he has made serious mention of the Federal Reserve in over three decades in public life.

“The only reason any of them will even talk about the Fed is Ron Paul, who took the issue from the depths of obscurity and turned it into a live issue for the first time in the nearly one hundred years of the Fed’s existence.”

The most contentious issue of the night involved Iran. Congressman Paul reminded Americans that such a war would be a sixth in which the country was engaged, and that the country was in fact bankrupt. Dr. Paul suggested that the same kind of “war propaganda” by which Americans were sold on the Iraq war, perhaps the greatest blunder in the history of U.S. foreign policy, was now leading them down the dangerous and unwise path of war with Iran. Our own CIA disputred the claims of the other candidates about Iran, Paul said.

As with Rudy Giuliani during a debate performance in 2007, Dr. Paul spoke of history that is unfamiliar to most Americans. “Dr. Paul explained that the history of U.S. relations in Iran did not begin with the hostage crisis in 1979, as Senator Rick Santorum tried to pretend,” said Thomas Woods. “It began with the U.S./British coup in 1953 that brought the oppressive shah to power, and it was resentment over his police state that turned Iranians against the U.S. Before the U.S. government’s interventions in the Middle East, Americans had an excellent reputation in that part of the world ““ another piece of history our political class ignores.”

“Our delicate ears are not supposed to hear the kinds of things Ron Paul told Americans tonight.,” Woods added. “We’re supposed to hear “˜USA! USA!’ We are supposed to be flattered, told our leaders have infallible judgment, and urged to believe that anyone who questions that judgment, or who thinks anyone around the world might have a legitimate grievance against the American political class, “˜hates America.’ Given how many grievances we Americans have with our political class, is it really so hard to imagine that other people might, too?”

The economy was the other big topic of the debate.

“It’s hard to imagine one person being so consistently and thoroughly vindicated as Congressman Paul,” Woods observed. “On the economy in particular, he has been warning for decades about the certain outcome of our monetary system and economic policies. The world is now beginning to undergo the exact convulsions he predicted would result. Meanwhile, the other candidates can only repeat predictable talking points about taxes and spending.”

Woods said Revolution PAC intended to inform the American public of Congressman Paul’s prophetic warnings on the economy and his unparalleled voting record after twelve congressional terms.

“Dr. Paul, who is often too humble even to say “˜I,’ rarely points out in such a setting that he, along among the candidates on stage, had been so prophetic about all this. That is where Revolution PAC comes in. We’re not humble at all. We intend to brag about Ron Paul like crazy. It is a scandal that Americans could even consider another candidate when a man of the intelligence and integrity of Ron Paul stands before them. He alone told us what was coming. He alone can point the way to a better future for America.”
