Confessions of a Defecting Democrat -- Why Ron Paul is the Perfect Candidate, and How Left Media Will be USED to Attack Him

by Bill Douglas

On the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, I donated to my first Republican candidate. I officially joined the Ron Paul revolution!

Ron Paul is threatening the American military empire in ways no Democrat of our time has ever been able to do. I don’t diminish Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel’s efforts, they have been courageous. However, they are limited by their party.

Of course the Democratic machine got rid of Gravel (the man who ended the draft during Vietnam) early, and with the Iowa Democratic Gestapo (I mean Party), we’ve now seen them do the same with Kucinich excluding him from the debates. The party lamely blamed it on the Des Moines Register, but I think we all know that the Dem Party could have insisted, if they wanted to have all their candidates present.

I doubt I could vote for another Republican, unless Ron Paul is the candidate, because I think we all know the GOP is completely corrupted, except for the shining knight that is Ron Paul.

However, my disillusionment with the Democrats began long ago. Many years ago former California governor, Jerry Brown, decided to run for the State Chair of the California Democratic Party. I was hired on his campaign as a professional staff member. We won. He got the Chairmanship.

Years later, I became a full time volunteer for Jerry Brown’s bid for the Democratic nomination for President. I came back to politics as a volunteer because Brown had the revolutionary idea of not accepting a donation over $100.

He traveled on a budget and stayed in ordinary people’s homes. He said when he was state chair of the California Democratic Party, he’d raised more money than any chair in history. But, no matter how much he raised, they always needed more. He said you lose touch with ordinary people, when you can only take time to sit down with those who can write a multi-thousand dollar check.

Brown was made fun of by corporate media. Sound familiar? Ala Kucinich, Gravel, and Ron Paul? THEN, Brown won the primary in Colorado, defeating candidate Bill Clinton. It shook the foundations of the power structure that runs this country. The acted fast, and with a sledge hammer.

Immediately Ted Koppel of Nightline, a huge influence in the nation before cable news dominated . . . had on several “masked men” who would not reveal their identity. They “claimed” to be former Governor Brown’s body guards when he was governor. They “claimed” he’d held wild pot parties at his Laurel Canyon home back then.

When I saw shocked friends, cooks, housekeepers, etc. of the former Governor going on television to vehemently deny that such “wild parties” had ever occurred, I knew they were telling the truth. Anyone who knew Brown or worked with or for him, knew that the allegations were lies. When I worked for him, I had to walk away from his house to smoke a cigarette, a tobacco cigarette, let alone anything else. He’d trained to be a Jesuit priest before entering politics and was the straightest arrow I ever met. Someone wanted Bill Clinton to get the nomination, because they wanted big money to continue its reign in America.

When I went to the Orange County Democratic Party headquarters to get precinct maps for our Brown for President campaign, I was denied them by smug party officials. I was ordered out when I began yelling the fact that the Clinton campaign was being given preferential treatment by the party hacks.

So, the Democratic Party sold out long ago. If the chosen ones, Obama or Hillary, and maybe Edwards gets elected, they will slightly change spending priorities but leave the American military empire fully intact. Corporate globalist money will remain completely in charge.

However, if Ron Paul gets elected, all US troops from worldwide will be ordered home. The oppression of developing country workers by corrupt governments backed up by the CIA and US military will die a timely death. Workers will organize, and slave labor markets, which drive down the US worker’s standard of living will be no more.

Since over 50% of US federal discretionary spending goes to military, President Ron Paul’s actions will result in a deluge of savings that will dramatically improve the standard of living in America. Democrats would NEVER make such a change, at least not the ones the Party doesn’t silence with their many dirty tricks.

However, the “liberal” or “left” media will fight tooth and nail to damage Ron Paul in any way they can. They’ve already began smear campaigns. They’ve tried to character assassinate him with pathetic guilt by association campaigns, such as “white supremacists support Ron Paul,” or “Ron Paul will outlaw abortion.”

Tucker Carlson “of the right” did his best to smear Ron Paul as well, when he personally picked up a brothel owner, and took him to a Ron Paul rally, so he could then release a media report that said “brothel owners support Ron Paul.”

The fact is that President Ron Paul will not affect abortion rights because he doesn’t believe that is the President’s role. A President is incapable of outlawing abortion, only the Supreme Court and/or Congress could do so. The GOP really never wanted to outlaw abortion, oh some Congresspeople or Senators may really feel against it, but the Party machine needs it to get poor whites, some poor blacks and Hispanics to vote against their own interest election after elections. The GOP had absolute control of all three branches of power during Reagan and Bush II. Did they outlaw abortion? NOPE. They never will. They need it.

However, they will use it to manipulate liberals and progressives into being against Ron Paul and they’ll spew this misinformation out through the liberal media. I’ve grown suspicious of the “liberal” media that I once believed in, since I’ve seen them attack anyone who questions the official story of 9/11. William Colby, a former CIA Director, once admitted to America, “there is no media of any significance in the US that is not controlled by the CIA.” That would include significant left media. Why would they leave liberal media un-infiltrated? They wouldn’t.

Ron Paul’s supporters are a very diverse crowd, some of whom I disagree with on many issues as a liberal progressive. However, Paul’s commitment to the constitution, the limits of government’s ability to spy on me and to use my taxes to attack poor people in other nations so that corporations can loot their resources and/or use them as slave labor to force my standard of living farther down, down down . . . is something that many people who disagree with me on many other things can agree with me on.

Ron Paul is the perfect candidate. He is pro freedom. He does not believe in the Washington running our lives. He cannot be attacked by the gun lobby. He cannot be attacked by the anti-abortion lobby. Because he doesn’t believe that Washington is the arbiter on such issues of personal freedom. I have been a supporter of gun control for years. But, after I’ve seen what I’ve seen since 2000 and 9/11/2001, I realize we have much more to fear from the dissolution of democracy and the emergence of a totalitarian torture state, than we do from people owing guns.

The GOP uses the gun issue like they use abortion. To get poor people to support Republican candidates that absolutely do not represent their interests.

Ron Paul is the Teflon candidate. He is a candidate that threatens the very foundations of the American corporate militaristic empire that is causing misery worldwide, and is the only person who can really do so. Because any Democrat who does so, is so dependent on gun control and abortion rights lobbies that they must take Washington power positions on those issues, ensuring that middle Americans will vote against their own interests because of fear campaigns on these other issues. Same thing with gay rights. Ron Paul will not sanction or diminish people’s rights. He believes people are endowed with rights, not awarded them by Washington. He doesn’t believe that Washington has a role in people’s bedrooms.

Ron Paul is a man that can alter the future of humanity in a way that will enable a human renessance. When you hear him speak on corporate media, the corporate shills sound shrill and abrasive. Ron Paul sounds calm and clear. He extols freedom, peace and international cooperation.

He has broken all fundraising records, $18 million this quarter. Only HE hasn’t raised it. Individuals have raised it for him. Ordinary citizens, many who’ve never voted before. A revolution is occurring.

As a lifelong liberal Democrat who has worked professionally and as a full time volunteer, as I told the Iowa Democratic Party in a rancourous phone conversation a few days ago . . . I’m sick of your politics. I’m sick of your charades. I’m officially leaving the Party and joining the Ron Paul revolution.

Of course I’ll vote for Democratic Congresspeople and Senators, because . . . well because we know most Republican candidates are completely devoid of soul. At least with a Democrat you could be surprised. However, for Presidential candidates, Ron Paul is the ONLY choice.

My old friends may be shocked and cringe at my decision. But, I think in their hearts they too know the Democratic Party establishment has used them, at least in Presidential politics.

I hope they will see the light, while Ron Paul can still win. A mass defection from the Dems to Ron Paul is a powerful message we can all send.

If the GOP and powers that be somehow stop Ron Paul from getting the nomination, I pray he’ll hook up with a real Democrat like Gravel or Kucinich, and run as a third party candidate.

Americans are sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, as Michael Moore once said. I know I am. How about you?

Join the Revolution!!
