Ron paul revolution or civil unrest?

Is the Ron paul revolution/movement a sign of something much bigger to come? Growing anger towards the US government that is manifesting itself with the Ron Paul revolution will it grow into a complete and all out rebellion against the establishment?

1. No. Ron Paul may have done some good by highlighting issues that other, viable candidates have incorporated, but even saying that is a stretch.
2. Ron Paul has 6% support in the national polls... that is hardly a revolution......
3. Us against cops and guards? No organization anymore, too many immigrants. No real country left anymore. Who cares.
4. Nope. Just a handfull of tech savvy people complaining. Hardly even noticed. They should take a page from Hillary's staffers. Hillary's campaign staff was caught sending out mass e-mails claiming Obama is a Muslim out to destroy the US. The proof they cited was that Obama refused to say the pledge, put his hand over his heart for the pledge, and put his hand on the bible. All Lies. Now these idiots are trying to pass the buck and blame the republicans? Go Hillary go, Blame everyone but don't look in the mirror.
5. It's great that so many young people have gotten involved in politics because of Ron Paul, but they need to understand that he'll NEVER be elected to the presidency. Why? Here's an analogy: Suppose your only car runs "okay" if not great. It uses a little too much gas, emits a little smoke, and the steering pulls, but over time, you've learned how to drive and maintain it satisfactorily. Then, a guy comes along who says "I can make it run GREAT, but first we have to take it apart, and reassemble it differently. Are you going to say "Sure, go ahead an experiment on my car," or are you going to say, "No way -- at least it runs now. Who knows what it will be like after you get through with it?" See what I mean?
6. Ron Paul's supporters are a relatively small bunch dispite the large sums of money he has received. And his supporters are a very diverse bunch, from "legalize-it" potheads to "anti-federalist gun nuts" and everything in-between. Getting Paul's supporters organized (or to agree on anything other than "more government is bad") would be a bridge too far in the near future. The "revolution" is figurative, not literal. Orson Scott Card's "Empire" is as close to non-fiction as a grass-roots violent revolution from Paul.
7. Who knows, I don't think Paul is advocating that. But I think many people who are tired of the corruption in government are talking about it. People don't want the multinational corporations running our country. And that is what has been happening, all of the mom and pop business's are being attacked with regulations and the system is designed for the biggest companies and if it continues their will be only a few choices of were you can shop or do business with. Maybe its time for a new Teddy Rosevelt. Time to bust the big companies up and only allow so much market share to each company, and get rid of all these regulations so freedom can flourish.
8. He has no movement at all right now! I think people are seeing right through him. Even his home district in Texas plans on ousting from him position. The new buzz word is change. But we can not change overnight and all those that say yes we can are fools. Look how many years it took to get this far. It will take years to be independent of foreign oil etc.
