Barack Obama & Ron Paul: The REAL Dream Ticket

[Help spread the dream… DIGG THIS ARTICLE!]

Political analysts have pondered the possibility of a “dream ticket” that would include Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The same could be said for a John McCain and Mitt Romney Republican ticket. Both are unlikely to happen because of the bitter rivalries and egos involved.

But since we’re dreaming, we’d like to pose the most utopian dream ticket possible… Barrack Obama as president with Dr. Ron Paul serving as Vice President.

Choosing a Republican running mate would be considered political suicide for Obama, although NO choice would better illustrate his inspiration verbage about ending partisan politics. Both Paul and Obama captured national attention by sending a message of change and peace that was embraced by a youthful America.

Besides their thoughts on bringing the military home from Iraq, Obama and Paul probably don’t agree on a ton of issues. But, Ron Paul is a champion of the constitution who, when it all comes down to it, just wants to make America a better place for Americans.

Would it be so bad to have an honest Republican as your right hand man who can bridge the gap between the huge philosophical divide? With our foreign policy (including the War in Iraq) being the top issue in this election, and an issue on which they agree, the timing couldn’t be better to shake up the two party system that has ailed our nation for too many years. New ideas are silenced, new concepts are closeted, new contributors are suffocated and the mainstream media is a co-conspirator in holding down these new opportunities.

A bigger statement couldn’t be made than an Obama-Paul election ticket… it would say loud and clear, “We want change. We are all Americans. We can work together.” It would send a message to the world. It would expose the existing political infrastructure for what it is - an imperfect system susceptible to corruption, private interests and greed. But it would show that what’s good about America and overcome what is not.

An Obama-Paul ticket would say we do NOT have to succumb to the norm. We do not have to be pigeon holed into a system designed for only left and right. We do NOT have to follow a political path that seems written in stone, edited and maintained by only Republicans and Democrats. And all it would take is one Democrat and one Republican, with similar philosophies and equally desired results, to come together.

It will never happen. But we can dream, can’t we? And if we stir up enough attention about it, perhaps we could even get the media to speculate the possibility. Senator Obama? Dr. Paul? What do you think?

Unfortunately the President and Vice President don’t have all the power in the world. The congress is still responsible for creating, passing and/or denying the vast majority of laws that are put into effect. But if you’ve ever heard of “the trickle down” effect… the dream of an Obama-Paul ticket could mark the beginning of an American Revolution that rivals the one which gained our countries independence… without the bloodshed.
