Ilana, have you heard the Washington Post's allegation that Paul was accompanied by "Imperial March"? The mainstream is getting desperate...

HERE’S ANOTHER REASON WHY LIBERTARIANS MUST HAVE INFLUENCE IN THIS ELECTION:

Gary Johnson is there to carry the usual 0.5% of the vote for the Libertarian party. Thanks to Ron Paul, it might be up to 2%.

If Dr. Paul ran in 2012, he might get 5% with a lot of luck, help re-elect Obama, and kill any chance of Rand Paul in the Republican Party. For pragmatic reasons, he needs to state his case like Reagan did in 1976 and then quietly let Romney and Obama (and Johnson etc) duke it out.

Sure. “Rand Paul in 2016”. We don’t have until 2016: bullets, not ballots, well before then. And the “platform”? Are you joking? The Party platform is forgotten before the ink is dry. Ron Paul needs to go Third Party. But, with each passing day, that looks less likely. Too bad, so sad.

Speaking of 2016 – this is interesting reading:

Careful there Myron. Not ALL of Einstein’s theories are “not so stupid.” Read his very ‘progressive’ views on economics.

Ronald Reagan LOST 8 of the first 9 contests against Gerald Ford in 1976 but stuck it out to the party convention and nearly won the nomination:

The CBS survey of January 8th (which allows for “none of the above” and “someone else”) showed Mitt Romney with an overwhelming 19% support nationwide:

Now, I do not believe that Ron Paul will win but he could get 25% of the delegates, prime time speeches at the convention, and help in writing a pro-liberty party platform.

Ron Paul was clobbered among the over 65 Medicare-dependent types but carried the under 44 generation. The battle for liberty is not going to be won in 2012. It will be up to others (Rand Paul??).
Romneycare economics or Obamacare economics will help convince others that
Wolfgang Pauli’s characterization of Einstein’s theories “not so stupid” is also applicable to Ron Paul’s “out of mainstream” views.
