"GOP should ask why U.S. is on the wrong track." - Ron Paul

CNN has published a great commentary by Congressman Ron Paul. Click here to read the article.

Excerpts:
"In the rise and fall of the recent Republican reign of power these past decades, the goal of the party had grown to be only that of gaining and maintaining power--with total sacrifice of the original Republican belief in shrinking the size of government."

"The problems are easily understood and the answers are not that difficult. Abusing the rule of law and ignoring the Constitution can be reversed. If the Republican arty can grasp hold of the needed reforms, it can lead the way and regain its credibility. If power is sought for power's sake alone, the Party will never be able to wrench away the power of the opposition."

"To ignore the political struggle and only 'hope for the best' is pure folly. The march toward a dictatorial powerful state is now in double time."

"All those who care--and especially those who understand the stakes involved--have an ominous responsibility to energetically get invoved in the battle of survival for a free and prosperous America."

-Ron Paul, Nov 2008
