The timing of the "primary election blitz" known as "Super Tuesday" may be slightly premature, and could perhaps have been a little bit better.

On the one hand, the country is in a recession, the dollar is tanking, the Iraq war drags on, our future is uncertain. It hurts to get on an airplane, it hurts to pay taxes, it is increasingly painful to fill our gas tanks, and it hurts to watch American servicemen die in Iraq. There are plenty of people in pain already, laid off from their jobs and hard-pressed to find another, with the strong prospect of more and worse economic trouble looming on the horizon.

On the other hand, perhaps not enough actual voters have yet begun to truly feel the squeeze. The pain is still somewhat at "arms length" and hasn't hit home yet. The more savvy economically may even be profiting off of the stock market plunge through clever investing. The powers that be pretend to take action with "stimulus packages" and interest rate cuts - fraudulent measures that will just temporarily postpone the inevitable crumbling of the American empire.

Maybe if the primaries were happening just a little bit later - maybe if more people were already actually out on the street - maybe if they cared a little more about their children and grandchildren who will soon be out on the street - then maybe, just maybe, voters would wake up, look around, and listen to what Ron Paul has to say about root causes.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who offers anything remotely approaching a well-reasoned solution to our burgeoning economic disaster. He is the only candidate who truly understands economics and inflation and who is prepared to say precisely why the measures proposed by other candidates are doomed to fail.

Are you afraid of what is about to happen in our country? Are you in enough pain yet to do something about it? "Stimulus" packages are no more than band-aids on top of patches. Tax rebates? Yeah, they'll give you back a tiny fraction of your own money, money that you have already earned by the sweat of your brow. More likely, they'll just give it to someone else who didn't earn it at all.

Will it be too late when voters finally do wake up? Will they discover to their horror that they've put another tax-and-spend self-interested lying politician into office, one that will ride America's demise straight down the broad road to hell?

We are doomed unless we heed Ron Paul's advice. Pain is a warning signal. You should act on your pain now. I urge you to respond to your pain before it is too late, and vote for Ron Paul! We'll all be glad you did!
