Ron Paul can win both the Republican nomination and the general election if he can persuade his followers that economic policy compromise is necessary if the libertarian cause is to be advanced at all, and if his followers, in turn, can persuade enough progressives that Ron Paul will really make necessary economic policy compromises once he is elected president. If either of these conditions are not met, his campaign will be a flop and the libertarian agenda a dead relic forever.
This blog, written by a progressive who still hopes for change, seeks to persuade readers that the progressive agenda has been put on hold until 2016 except that by electing Ron Paul in 2012, we end endless wars and bring troops home to eventually have resources to build the peaceful green economy.
