Only Ron Paul Can Beat Hillary Clinton

Only Ron Paul can beat Hillary, so says Gambling911.com Special Contributor, Jennifer Reynolds. Hillary Clinton remains the even favorite to become the next US President.

"All the Republicans I have spoken to would vote for Hillary Clinton if they were not happy with their own party nomination," Tyrone Black of Gambling911.com stated. Black is an active member of the Republican party in his home state of New York.

And just as Republicans would be willing to vote for Hillary, so too would Democrats be willing to vote for Ron Paul.

This became a hot button issue here at Gambling911.com following Reynolds piece regarding new voting rules particularly with the controversy surrounding New Hampshire.

One thing that struck me with the Michigan debate the other night was just how afraid all of the candidates seemed to be of Hillary Clinton. They brought her name up over an over. As Joe Dumas writes: If it comes down to Hillary Clinton vs. any of the "establishment" Republican candidates, she wins by default. Ron Paul is the only man who can list numerous supporters who from Independents, to Democrats, to Libertarians, and Undeclareds and that large group of disenfranchised people who haven't voted for anyone in years. Ron Paul draws supporters from all over and as the Democratic leading contenders back away from their promises, Ron Paul appears to be the only viable candidate who will actually end this awful war in Iraq.

Once again for two hours we were subjected to a biased debate put on by MSNBC, CNBC and the Wall Street Journal. The moderators let their favorites go long on nearly every question, came back to them again and again, and even gave them follow up questions. Meanwhile, all of those contenders have campaigns that are on the down slope. The man the people want to hear from, the man who has increased supporters, the man who speaks to the hearts and wallets of the American people, Ron Paul, was given barely seven minutes out of a two hour debate. I don't have the exact figure, but it wasn't much.

Third quarter figures show that Ron Paul's campaign is on the rise. He raised over double what he had in the second quarter, coming in at just over five million dollars. It is funny to watch the pundits try to spin this as a totally shocking figure, meanwhile, the news came as no surprise to the Ron Paul supporters who always knew they were real and not just a few spammers. In fact, the Ron Paul campaign is claiming that they are receiving over 20,000 new volunteer offers a day.

Sadly, once again, the man of the people, the man for the people, was not given much time to speak to the people. As the debates go on, the difference between Ron Paul and the "others" widens. When discussing the Constitutional requirement to go to Congress to get a declaration of war before attacking a country, most of the men on stage said they would have to consult their lawyers or ignore Congress all together. Congress represents us, the people. Congress may not be doing a very good job of it right now, but they are supposed to be our voice in this political process, which is why they have a say when a President wants to go to war. The war mongers on that stage seemed to think that the American people work for them, not the other way around, and had no interest in letting the wishes of the people stand in their way when they want to act.

Only Ron Paul had the strength to to call out the others on the war issue. He said, you don't need to ask your lawyers if you can go to war, you just have to open the Constitution to see that you MUST seek a declaration of war from Congress. This country has become upside down, with the people being there to support the government and the government being free to do anything it likes.

It was quite amusing to hear another common theme among the candidates. I call it the Annie theme. When asked about an economy that is rapidly going down the drain for the poor and the middle class, about the only repeating message was that you have to have hope and believe that the "sun will come out tomorrow." We don't need rosy phrases when we are losing our jobs, we don't need to be told to smile while prices are going through the roof (you try buying groceries these days) we don't need a bunch of people who are doing just fine to tell us not to worry our pretty little heads about things. We need a man who will tell us the truth.

Ron Paul dared to speak that truth in the debate. He spoke about a failing economy, the reason it is happening, and the financial crisis on the poor and middle class. But more than that, he actually had a real answer for it. He didn't speak in pretty little phrases, he spoke cold hard truth. He explained how as our foreign policy spreads further and further across the globe we need to find a place to get all that money to pay for it. That money gets printed out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. The consequences are the same as if an illegal counterfeiter were dumping trillions into our economy: our money becomes worth less and less and prices go up more and more. Oh sure, some folks on Wall Street are doing great because they get the dollars as they come off the printing press before they have lost their value, but as soon as the money begins to circulate, those of us that didn't get sixty million dollar bonuses, start to discover that we work harder and it buys less.

Ron Paul is the only man who seemed to understand what the job of a President is - it is to protect the American people from foreign invaders by having troops on our soil; it is to protect our savings and our livelihoods by having a currency that is worth something; it is to keep the American people safe from prying eyes and to have government be the one that has to let US know what it is doing at all times instead of the other way around. Ron Paul is the only man that believes in the Constitution and would follow it.

The Constitution was written to protect the people from the government, not to give the government unlimited powers. Our founders knew that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and so they did their best to hogtie the Federal Government from taking away our rights and freedoms. All that is slipping away from us and no amount of singing a cheery song will change that. We are not idiots. We know who tells truth and who tells sound bites. Most of the night I would replay the answers over and over trying to find anything that constituted an actual answer. It is amazing how these men are so good at saying absolutely nothing over and over.

Too bad the American people only got a tiny taste of Ron Paul. Once again, we will have to turn to the Internet for the real news and find stories where he is given more than twenty seconds to respond. Once again, we are left clamoring for more information from the man with integrity, the man who actually wants to work for the people instead of figuring out more ways for us to work for him. CNBC had a poll after the debate that asked who won the debate. They pulled it off the Internet after Ron Paul ran away with it with 79% of the vote. Perhaps they were afraid if they left it up their servers would crash will all the Ron Paul Support. And people wonder why Ron Paul doesn't appear to be doing well in polls? The polls he is winning are removed or called unscientific and the scientific polls don't offer his name as a choice. It is hard to do well in a poll when your name is not listed.

Ron Paul offers the only chance to change the course and return to the basics that this country was founded upon. He offers freedom from government interference, freedom from global domination at the expense of those here at home, and freedom from government spying on all its citizens. Isn't it time we got back on track? You have a choice, vote for any other Republican and Hillary Clinton becomes President. Vote for Ron Paul and we return this country to the great land of liberty and prosperity that millions have died to protect. Support the troops by supporting the candidate who receives the most donations by the troops. They want him as President and so should we - unless you are a multi billion dollar hedge fund manager, then you might not be too thrilled with Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is the Thomas Jefferson of our time. The only man for the people, not the corporations, and certainly not for bigger government. He wants to return your money to you instead of giving it all to Washington D.C.

Dare to dream. It can happen. Register Republican today and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. The government still has to listen us a little, vote for him while a vote still counts for something.

"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto." Thomas Jefferson
