Today’s Political Quote of the Day…

… comes from a Ron Paul supporter in this well-written Salon.com article by Michael Sherer:

But perhaps the best explanation of the Paul phenomenon came from Rammelkamp, the young man from Long Island who had taken on significant credit card debt for the Paul campaign. He told me that to understand Paul, I had to think of the American people as a baby elephant, chained to a tree. “It realizes that it can only walk 5 feet in each direction. It realizes that it is a slave. When it grows old enough, it is strong enough to break away from the tree. But it doesn’t know.” He pauses, to let this sink in — the American people are a captive animal unaware of its own power to claim liberty. “When was the last time you tried it?” he asks me of breaking free. “Maybe you are strong enough.”
