EXCITEMENT DOES NOT FIX AMERICA

Is anyone else getting tired of the Ron Paul supporters shoving in your face, about the crowds that show up at RP events? I was watching a conversation between Romney and Paul supporters. When the following comment was made by a Romney supporter the Ron Paul people all shut up :). Feel free to pass this on, I removed the name of the person that commented in order ...to protect their privacy. ......

The average Paul supporter may be more excited about Paul than the average Romney supporter is about Romney, but there are obviously millions more "un-excited" Romney supporters than excited Paul supporters. If excitement was all that mattered Paul would be winning and be ahead by 630 delegates - he's not, so it must not matter that much after all. That's OK with me though. I'm a Romney supporter and I'm not much excited about him either - but keep in mind that I don't get excited about much of anything, especially people and politicians. People that get excited about other people scare me. People that get excited about politicians are usually naive or have a hidden personal agenda.



Gov. Mitt Romney / Rep. Ron Paul

 There's been a few CEO's and bosses that I've worked for that I liked, respected, and I thought they were brilliant people, but I was never "excited" about them. In the military I had the opportunity to meet the now retired General Peter Schoomaker - commander of the special forces with Joint Special Operations Command, former Army Chief of staff, and an absolute amazing man. I also served under his younger brother, the then Colonel Eric Schoomaker (now Lieutenant General and Surgeon General of the Army). The latter was one of the smartest most dedicated individuals I've ever met or worked for in my entire life, and would have marched into war with him in a heartbeat. But again, was never truly excited about him either. I don't put my excitement into many other people - with the exception of my wife and family.

President Barack Obama

Excitement scares me - people that get excited about other people (especially politicians) scare me even more as they tend to be blinded by ideology and don't think everything through. Millions were excited about Obama as well - enough said.

I'll admit that Romney is a boring, calculating man - hell, he's a stiff. That being said, the most effective people I've ever worked for or worked with were the same way. They were generally boring, but self-motivated, driven people - but they got stuff done and they didn't need the excitement and cheerleaders to give them pep talks, when things didn't go their way. I like boring - boring is good.

As to faith - I have faith in no man. If you have faith in any man (especially a politician), you are destined to suffer great disappointment. No matter who wins, we need to keep up the pressure on anyone and everyone that gets elected or we are doomed as a country.
