What Ron Paul Knows That Your Company Doesn't

It's Not What Dr. Paul Did but What He Stands For

I'll tell you how it worked. Get a massive informed, intelligent, well-read, group of Americans who actually studied history and know why our country had a Revolution to begin with. Next, make sure this massive group has had their own personal unconstitutional run-ins with the law or have families/friends who've had run-ins with them (mine was due to a fiance being harrassed- with no due process of the law mind you - on a child support arrearage case that was caused by a small county court clerk's office screwing up his records). If they haven't had a run-in, then make sure they know their rights and aer open-minded enough to see what is going on with our current laws and lawmakers. All these disenfranchised people (millions of them) know there is something wrong with this country and our leaders but until now, there hasn't been an individual who was outspoken or bright enough to really pull them together. My respect for Dr. Paul came when I heard he had never taken part in the lucrative Congressional Pension. Congress never asked Americans whether they wanted to give around $70,000 to each member in Congress when they left, no matter how long they served, no matter how poor a job they did. Between that, other unconstitutional laws I had learned about, and the terrible treatment given to my fiance when they wouldn't even give him his right to due process...........that's the type of person who understands what Dr. Paul is talking about. They knew right away that he was telling the truth. And the treatment by the mainstream media and other Republican candidates was a clear indication they wanted him to go hide in a hole somewhere. The question one had to ask was "why". That meant something he was saying was indeed significant. So your article is trying to compare what Dr. Paul did with a company and it really wasn't what he did but a mix of what our govt. has done, the truth finally being told, and the unhappiness of many Americans. Put it together right and there you have it.

Give me a break

Trying to compare the freedom movement to the business world is like wiping your buttocks before you defecate. It just doesn't make sense. I scoff at your silly attempt

create a vaccum

Ron Paul is only so popular because he is so rare. There used to many Ron Pauls in Washington. But like any supply vs. demand equation, it is so truly simple that you can't spot it and are trying to make it more complicated than it is.

1. What do the people want?

2. Provide what the people want.

3. The people will shower you with (insert desired here) for supplying/being what they want.

That's it. No mystery.

you sooo missed the point

GL - you have sooo missed the point of the Ron Paul movement. You cannot motivate people like the Ron Paul people with money. There's plenty of paper debt-based currency floating around. It's about having the freedom to do what one wants with ones own time and talents. This is what motivates them. Good luck trying to capitalize on it.

You may have a point

Marketers can slight Ron Paul to sell their blog products. That much is clear.

Watch as Ron Paul predicts the Georgia conflict in 2002.

it's not duplicatable

Ron Paul's revolution is powerful because he preaches something so precious and beautiful that no company can duplicate it. He leads an army to take back our country from corrupt law makers in Washington. Our constitution has been hijacked by domestic terrorists for their own selfish gain. Ron Paul's revolution is of such a serious nature it simply can't be reproduced in the business world.

I should know because I work with a company whose culture is so strong that we were recognized by Yale and Stanford's school of business as a course requirement for students to study our company culture model. I work with Keller Williams Realty International.

You don't get it

You really don't understand anything about Ron Paul or his movement. You want to inspire motivation? Try telling people they have the freedom to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt other people and that no one is going to tell them what to do or not to do, but that with that freedom comes the responsibility of facing the consequences of their actions as well as getting to keep whatever it is they gain from those decisions. Its the same message everyone should be teaching their kids. If you can't see how that message is motivational then there is no hope for you.

Ron Paul goes to the dogs?

106 comments already on a relatively innocuous post like Mr. Hoffman's is further proof of the incredible grassroots following Mr. Paul has. So how about it: should my website, www.thedogvote.com, include Paul as a candidate on the Doggie Electoral Map? What about printing a RON PAUL dog bandana?
