Ron Paul Proposes Voting On the Internet for US Presidential Election

Telling a standing room only crowd at Georgetown's Gaston Hall he did not understand why his massive Internet support base had not translated into votes during the Primaries and Caucuses, Republican US Presidential candidate Ron Paul said "There’s only one law I’m proposing … From now on we’re going to have our elections on the internet.”

Paul called the nature of his support “a two-edged sword for us. It was an independent campaign but it was laissez-faire,” he said.

William Galston, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, said that Paul lacked relevance to the 2008 election because of his failure to expand his base or effectively use the money he raised.

“This guy has been flying solo all his life and the idea of building an organization and actually making strategic investments in a campaign is just not the way he’s ever thought,” he said.

Paul dedicated the majority of his speech to criticism of “big government,” including the war on drugs, the U.S. government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Reserve and America’s interventionalist foreign policy. He often contrasted his views with what “they,” the mainstream establishment, believed.

“If we don’t support the war, they’ll say we don’t support the troops,” he said. “What about supporting the troops by keeping them out of these no-win wars?"

Paul has vowed to stay in the race until the bitter end, even proposing a "March on Washington" at a soon-to-be-determined date.
