Ron Paul wins it all
John McCain will be the Republican presidential nominee. The Democrats have whittled the field down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Republican Congressman Ron Paul is still running against McCain, right? His quixotic libertarian quest for the highest office in the land is purely dramatic at this point. Still, Paul was the only Republican candidate who wants an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, decriminalization of marijuana, etc. Amazing.
I just checked the best sellers over at Amazon.com and was stunned to see that the new #1 book on Amazon is Ron Paul’s THE REVOLUTION-A Manifesto (Grand Central). Wow! That’s Barack Obama territory when you have the top seller on Amazon.
Clearly, Ron Paul has an audience. What do you know about him? What do you think of him?

In Vick’s defense, Obama doesn’t have a body of writings from the last century that are quite as virulently racist as Ron Paul does. Worse, Paul knew how objectionable his beliefs were, and chose to write them anonymously… . I also like a lot of what Ron Paul says, but that doesn’t mean I like Paul, or his dog whistle racism.By prose

Met Ron Paul during the Iowa Caucus season and found him quite sane. Too sane for the R’s. He scared them and they trivialized his candidacy. The same thing the Dingbatocrats did to Kucinich. Anybody who has the audacity to rock the 2-party system is toast. The tyranny of the majority is killing this country. No surprise you found a way to praise Obama in a story about Ron Paul. You just can’t help yourself can you?
