No matter how bad it will get, and I’m sure it’s going to get bad, we still have 40% of the country paying no federal taxes, and/or on the dole, food stamps etc. A considerable percentage of the rest are fools who will vote liberal no matter what. The Republican establishment is not the group to challenge this and a third party is doomed from the start. Candidates like Ron Paul will get no chance until they have an organization powerful enough to crack the surface of national politics, especially fighting the media to get his message out to the few voters who actually think. Well, anyway I’m for you.

We could very well see a legitimate economic and currency implosion between now and next November. When consumer prices and interest rates are shooting to the moon and unemployment breaks double digits by even the government’s doctored statistics, such an environment has a way of focusing the otherwise pliant majority into thinking about an alternative to the presidential puppets being proposed by the banking/corporate elite.

You can stand by and watch the country implode, or you can start educating people about the only candidate that can possibly restore our country’s liberties. It’s really that simple.

He is such a crackpot that he would probably clean out the corruption and Democrat collaboration within the Republican establishment. I’m not totally sold on him yet but it doesn’t really matter. He is relegated to the same ash heap as Sarah Palin by both parties. Maybe he’s more presidential than Sarah but both have been marginalized and we’ll never know.

He’s a left-leaning classical liberal. It’s not so big a stretch. He respects integrity & honesty & he agrees with Paul’s position on idiotic foreign wars. I would dare to say that Jon, like myself, is probably closer to a classical liberal (albeit left-leaning) then anything else.

The NUTCASE who wouldn’t allow poor and minorities to own homes they couldn’t afford:

The NUTCASE who opposed President Bush’s effort to stop Saddam Hussein from reducing the US to rubble in 2002:

http://www.antiwar.com/paul/paul51.html

That NUTCASE who hates our children by opposing the Leave No Child Behind Act:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2001-145

which was not only supported by those great conservatives John McCain and Rick Santorum and Fred Thompson and Sam Brownback:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2001-192

but was sponsored by that immaculate Prince of Republicanism, John Boehner himself with “Tea Party” Dick Armey and “Libertarian” Bob Barr as co-sponsors.

The NUTCASE who hates America by voting against the Patriot Act:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h107-1

supported by every Congressional Republican save 3.

The NUTCASE who hates seniors by voting against the Prescription Drug Plan supported by House Republicans by 207 – 19:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2003-332

The last time the Republicans ran a NUTCASE who claimed that “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”, he was declared psychologically unfit:

Goldwater was then opposed by Governor Romney who supported moderate Lyndon Johnson in 1964:

seen here with his “leader of the pack” son, Mitt Romneycare:

P.S. I’m “nuts” too !!!

[Bless such nuts as My Ron Pauli. Both of them.]

If, instead of being generally in the service one political party, he were at the throat of both, he could write his own ticket.

Michelle on the other hand, might change things if she and Ron together start building a grass roots constituency that is too big to ignore.

What a disgraceful and patently transparent attempt to marginalize a candidate. If there’s anyone left on the planet under the delusion that the TV talking heads are even remotely objective, this weekend’s coverage should enlighten them.
