So Ron Paul hasn't done so well in the primaries. One thing is obvious from the campaign; an outsider faces many obstacles in a stacked system. While Ron Paul should run as an independent recent experience should tell us that it's going to be hard for him to receive coverage, particularly given the fovefest that's the media's coverage of Obama. Then there's the likelihood he will split the republican vote and be accused of handing victory to the Democrats.
The Paul push for nomination is intriguing not just for the online phenomenon. Anyone with an interest in politics should be studying the internat driven developments in the Paul campaign. |
A successful Ron Paul campaign for office could have as much impact abroad as in the USA. With the United States maintaining over 100 bases on foreign soil and taking an extensive military interest in world events a renewed focus on trade and economic cooperation over military and diplomatic alignments will potentially lead to a new era of prosperity. People tend to think military might has made America the world's superpower. |

From an Australian perspective a successful Ron Paul campaign would lead to major changes in American foreign policy. While wrongly described as an "isolationist" Ron Paul believes in a limited international military role and avoiding government sponsored international alignments. Rather than policing the world the Paul philosophy is for US citizens and corporations to freely trade and connect with all nations, relationships being driven by mutual benefit. While Australia has recently staged our own mini revolution; disposing of the a government which had strongly aligned itself with the current American administration's world view the Paul philosophy would see an end to complex military alliances and treaties such as ANZUS with our relationship instead focussed on trade and personal associations.
