Ron Paul

October 23rd, 2007 | Posted by Smithers at 12:24 pm in Politics |

Polling better than Giuliani and Thompson among 30 years old, actually beating Hillary among 40 year olds.

What does it say about a party that keeps a guy with these kinds of numbers at arms distance?

    I’d vote for him if he and clinton got the nod.

    Quoting Ron Paul’s fundraising letter:

    I don’t need to tell you that our American way of life is under attack. We see it all around us — every day — and it is up to us to save it.

    The world’s elites are busy forming a North American Union. If they are successful, as they were in forming the European Union, the good ‘ol USA will only be a memory. We can’t let that happen.

    The UN also wants to confiscate our firearms and impose a global tax. The UN elites want to control the world’s oceans with the Law of the Sea Treaty. And they want to use our military to police the world.

    As has been said elsewhere, consider the fact that this guy often seems like the most sane guy on the stage at republican debates.

    They’re all whacked out, and Ron Paul’s only so much whacked out he doesn’t even know it.

    Democrats agonize over finding the perfect candidate. Republicans will take any chump that can take orders and that they can build a good campaign around.

    Obama is still my guy, here’s hoping Colbert makes the SC Republican ballot to “Nader” Ron Paul.

    Ron Paul is simultaneously the most insane and lucid candidate in either field. It all depends on how much you care about reproductive rights, or the sorts of evolutionary policy likely to be implemented.

    Obviously, there are quite a few things that are fucked up, but his clean slate just ain’t gonna happen. We already went through something quite similar with Jesse Ventura, who couldn’t piece together enough consensus from either party in the legislature for anyone to trust him.
