Ilana, in all fairness to the humorously bloviating actor/senator Fred Thompson, he was not in congress in 2003 when the idiotic American Dream Downpayment Act of 2003 (sponsored by infamous Katherine Harris of Florida recount fame) passed so overwhelmingly that there was only a voice vote. However, he voted with McCain for McCain-Feingold. Thompson also supported (as did McCain and alleged “libertarian” Bob Barr) the Department of Homeland Security, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the No Child Left Behind Act and the Patriot Act.
Ahh – those small government “conservative”/”libertarian” republicans… Ron Paul voted consistently no. Best yet is to read Congressman Paul’s dissent on the obscene “American Dream Downpayment Act
of 2003”:

Ron Paul’s alias, Dr. No, is well deserved because he constantly refuses the false choice between “republican” socialists dressed in shepherd skin or “democratic” socialists dressed in sheep skin. In a word, he honestly represents “real change”. Obama and Bush, as the living examples of their existing parties,actually come closer to representing the old FBI television series with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., where the names were changed to protect the innocent. Except of course in contemporary American politics,we voters keep changing the names simply to protect the guilty. One principle that organized crime apparently shares with the current political duoploy is when it comes to matters of life and death, “it is strictly business.” Thoughtful, intelligent, citizens of good will like Ron Paul,Ilana Mercer or Pat Buchanan — folks who speak their mind with courage and conviction or defend their loves against the creeping (I could have said creepy)socialists are considered armed and dangerous by the duopoly, as indeed they are. Thank G-d for them. The Old Testament required the worst of decadent cities to have at least ten of them before justice and mercy could spare the whole, and of course the New Testament began with only twelve with one,the treasurer,being a traitor. Keep up the good work, Ilana, small is still beautiful and truth is still powerful.

What is rather pathetic is the attempt to continually apologize (and this goes on decade after decade by the deluded apologists) for a group of people who violate the so-called “principles” that they are supposed to stand for. E.G. – the Bushes (who were nominated on 5 G.O.P. national tickets) are not “real” Republicans. Or Stalin the mass murderer was not a “real” Communist. And Bin Laden and the numerous terrorists are not “real” Moslems. Ahhhh, yes – the ideal Republican cuts spending and obeys the Constitution, the ideal Communist is a non-violent utopian angel, and the ideal Moslem is a peaceful pious monotheist. It is just all them Fake Republicans, Fake Commies, and Fake Moslems who have messed things up. Sadly, we might add most modern day businessmen to the mixture too – more have “learned” (at Harvard MBA programs like G. W. Bush) how to make short-term fortunes by eminent domain abuse, bribing politicians, and near-term Ponzi-esque hustling than have actually figured out how to honestly produce a useful product at low cost. {William Buckley said “the worst thing about capitalism is capitalists”}

It’s a mystery to me how Ron Paul can tolerate being surrounded by the most vile and cretinous human beings our country has produced.

As for the Republicans, their conduct during the recent presidential campaign was appalling. They openly mocked and laughed at Paul about the perilous nature of our economy and of the prospects of a Democratic rout if they did not change policy. Who is laughing now?

Good riddance to the pathetic GOP. And once the Democrats drive the bus over the cliff, maybe Boobus will wake up and realize how they were sold a bill of goods.

It’s always amazing to watch the Republicans find the handle on free market economics when they are out of power. With history as our guide it should be clear to even the thickest Republican Kool-Aid drinker that once returned to power the GOP will immediately, “Leave No Child Behind”.

“The dog commends himself to our favor by affording play to our propensity for mastery.”
– Thorstein Veblen

Party parrots or party lapdogs, their very disregard of Ron Paul indicts them. It is not inability to see or understand, it is a willful disregard in the name of the state and its (their) power.
