It looks like the \u201cliberty man\u201d is not going to be given an official speaking slot at the Republican National Convention in Tampa at the end of the month. Texas congressman Ron Paul is missing from the RNC\u2019s list of announced speakers, The Blaze reported Friday.<\/p>\n

Although this is hardly an unexpected omission, it has served to heighten the tension surrounding the event. Delegates from all over the country will meet in Florida on August 27th to nominate the Republican Party\u2019s presidential candidate and Barack Obama\u2019s opponent. Paul supporters, which comprise a hefty number of the delegates, will certainly be making their presence felt, as they have been doing for months.<\/p>\n

The Ron Paul Campaign has planned a rally to be held on the afternoon of August 26th, with the theme \u2018We Are the Future \u2013 A Rally for the Liberty Delegates\u2019. Another rally organized by Paul\u2019s supporters will run simultaneously in Tampa.<\/p>\n

These events are expected to draw huge crowds and put a spotlight on Paul\u2019s gigantic influence, despite the Republican Party\u2019s snub.<\/p>\n

Paul supporters, of course, are still holding out for a Ron Paul presidency. Although it is becoming increasingly likely that the party will nominate Mitt Romney at the convention, it is theoretically possible for Paul\u2019s delegates to pull off a last-minute takeover next week.<\/p>\n

This possibility may shed some light on the Republican Party\u2019s seemingly dangerous and unwise decision not to humor Paul supporters by giving their spokesman a speaking slot. Perhaps the RNC organizers know that Paul shines on a podium when given a reasonable amount of time to explain his views and that when his remarks are not limited to sound-bite-length statements in a televised debate, his fact-based arguments are fascinatingly convincing.<\/p>\n

Paul supporters are weary of seeing their man ignored and cheated out of his votes. Many are fed up with the party and some have taken to wearing buttons which declare boldly, \u201cNo One But Paul: good luck winning without us!\u201d They understand something the GOP doesn\u2019t seem to grasp. They have become a massive electoral base, and if they abandon the party this November, Mitt Romney and his supporters will be in a sorry state.<\/p>\n

But what about the man himself? Where does Ron Paul come down in all of this confusion? Although he can\u2019t help but be aware of the injustices done to his campaign and of his supporters\u2019 frustration, the congressman is showing remarkable foresight in paving the way for a future generation of liberty people, even as he himself begins to see the end of his own road in sight.<\/p>\n

In a message to his supporters, concerning the rally his campaign has planned in Tampa, Paul said, \u201cI\u2019m sure it will not only be a great time, but it will also go a long way to proving you and I are the future of the Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ron Paul\u2019s dream is to see his supporters take the message of liberty into the heart of the GOP and transform the Republican Party. He wants to see his dedication to fair play, his passion for the Constitution, his commitment to push back on the overreaching US government, and his enmity towards the Federal Reserve reach the utmost corners of the establishment.<\/p>\n

He wants the Republican Party to radically redefine its idea of government authority.<\/p>\n

Paul continues to urge respectful discourse. He know his supporters are inclined to get excited, and he wants them to fight their battles courteously, bearing in mind that kindness and patience are more effective than threats and taunts. He is paving a way for them to take when he is gone.<\/p>\n

Ron Paul still has hope for the GOP. He has a vision of what the GOP can become.<\/p>\n
