article image'The Revolution: A Manifesto' Hits No. 1 on NYT Bestsellers List

Ron Paul's new book entitled The Revolution: A Manifesto has hit #1 on the New York Times bestsellers list for the week of May 18, 2008. Paul has proclaimed that he will not drop out the race for president as long as he still has supporters.
He may be a long-shot for the presidency, but that did not stop Paul from becoming a bestselling author. In fact, it might have helped just a little bit.

Paul has proclaimed over and over again that he will not drop out the race for president as long as he still has supporters. And, if book sells are any measure of support, he has plenty of it. The Revolutionaries love The Revolution.

Most politicians -- especially those who have virtually no chance of winning the presidential election -- could only dream to be the #1 bestseller. In fact, most campaign books are doomed to failure. But don't tell that to the supporters who managed to catapult Dr. Paul's book to the top spot.

The book has also reached #1 on the popular one-stop internet shop Amazon.com.

The Revolution is not the first time Paul has put out a book and it will not likely be the last, but it is the first to sell so well. Previous books include A Foreign Policy of Freedom which takes an in-depth look at America's foreign policy and entangling alliances in the Middle East.

Barry Goldwater Jr., son of the famous Conservative Senator, had this to say about The Revolution:
The real truth about Liberty. This book takes a wrecking ball to the political establishment. Senator Goldwater would have loved it.


Even though it is nearly impossible for Paul to become president his "Revolution" still has the support of many.

Viva La Revolution!

Sorry, I just had to say it.

    I know that there's a certain someone who has the Beatles come to mind when they hear Ron Paul mentioned; personally, I tend to have a song by the Who that comes to my mind...

    We'll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around me
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again

    The change, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We were liberated from the foe, that' all
    And the world looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around me
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    I'll move myself and my family aside
    If we happen to be left half alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    For I know that the hypnotized never lie

    Do ya?

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

    There's nothing in the street
    Looks any different to me
    And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
    And the parting on the left
    Is now the parting on the right
    And the beards have all grown longer overnight

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around me
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    Don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss

    Thank God some people are still interested in liberty and are not so afraid of personal responsibility that they're willing to allow a paternalistic state to run their lives...
