Ron Paul: The "Just Don’t Look” Candidate

An excellent two-parts article by Roland. Just read it.

Paul well may win Iowa, then be forgotten. Huckabee did, IIRC. 

OTOH, fewer and fewer voters (as opposed to loudmouths who don't vote) pay much attention to our pretend media's political reporting. The bias has been too obvious for too long.

OK, I an hopeful so far you are right on that.

This didn't do much for swaying me, although I want Obama to be president too!

That was confusing, Matthew: do you want both Obama and Ron Paul be presidents together?

The problem with Paul is that he rationalizes libertarian positions with arguments that overlap with the more extreme leftist positions. If he would just derive everything from libertarian principles we would at least know where he was coming from. (And there is nothing in libertarianism that says you have to be hostile to Israel.) And then there is all the Bircher baggage. If it comes down to Paul vs. Obama, I won't know who to vote for.

What splendid idea. If it were only possible. Two wackos would cancel each out. Instant impotence.

Oh, in that unlikely scenario, I'd vote for Paul in a heartbeat. Heck, I'd vote for a syphilitic camel over Obumbles.

OTOH, everybody changes and here's no reason to assume that Paul's current convictions match his earlier ones at a younger, more excitable age. Unless you deny politicians the right to grow up.

Nope, thank you, and happy New Year, Roland.
