NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Ron Paul has America hungry.
The former presidential candidate and 11-term Republican congressman from Galveston, Texas, seems to be doing what few have succeeded at: rallying support for radical change in Washington, on Wall Street and in the world.
Paul, who rattled the Republican base with a strong showing in several primaries and caucuses last year, is upping the ante. He has a new and timely book, "End the Fed," and has been making a big media tour, including a stop on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last Tuesday.
"It's hard to enforce the laws when the government participates in fraud," Paul told Stewart.
It's hard not to get excited or encouraged about the way Paul gets people fired up about politics. It's not just the politics, though, it's the kind of politics Paul is talking about: strict lawmaking derived from the constitution, ending trade agreements and national monetary policy.
Anyone would be challenged to get young Americans to care about matters so complex and dull, but Paul does it in the same way Stewart sells world affairs to college stoners: he makes it entertaining -- and he offers hope things can change.

I hope he aligns with Sarah Palin and DOES NOT TRY TO RUN AGAINST HER!
Hm on her team would be brilliant.
He MUST KNOW he is not electable, and she has star quality- but needs people like him behind her.
Ann Coulter for Press Secretary too.
And all you rabid anti-Paul nutcases can pucker up and approach my behind with reverence.
Ditto.
Mmmm...no. Just no.
Ron Paul’s campaign accepted $500 from the Stormfront White Nationalist Community . There are no circumstances under which I would vote for Ron Paul for anything, just as I would not vote for anybody like Obama who appeared with Al Sharpton and sought his endorsement. Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright are simply Black versions of Stormfront and the KKK.
I agree with Ron Paul on the audit but he is going to give congress control of the money. He must be the first guy over 25 years old that Barny Frank has salivitated over.
Ahem. Coulter is a Constituttional Lawyer, I can think of several better positions for her. Attorney General, for one. Justice of the Supreme Court for another.
Smarty-pants Michele Bachmann will take over for Ron when he retires.
In this interview he clearly states that he "does not want white supremecist support". As all major campaigns recieve both money from individuals who they don't agree with and would not agree to meet, socialize, worship or uplift. It's seriously myopic to claim that Ron Paul's actions are in any way equivilent of Obama's support for Wright, who he called "his spiritual mentor". If you find a clip of Ron Paul saying that Don Black, William Pierce, or David Duke is his "spiritual mentor" then you'll have a point.
Hold on while I try to get my give-a-darn working. It doesn't respond to Charles Johnson talking points very well.
No good. I guess I'm stuck judging Dr Paul by his actions and his supporters' accomplishments.
Brevity is the soul of wit... You get an 'A'.
Precisely on target... You get an 'A'.
In before the knee-jerk haters... Another 'A'.
Funny... And another 'A'.
Dude, you got a home run in this thread!
Ah, first in line! Remember, with reverence.
Which he immediately used to push his agenda, not theirs.
There are no circumstances under which I would vote for Ron Paul for anything
So apparently you don't give a feces about free markets, gun rights, and a strong national defense that protects only our interests.
just as I would not vote for anybody like Obama who appeared with Al Sharpton and sought his endorsement.
Your criticism of Paul could have been lifted from an Al Sharpton speech by the way.
Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright are simply Black versions of Stormfront and the KKK.
But Paul has never been in bed with Stormfront or the KKK, so your comparison is both a non-sequitur and a strawman.
It’s the equivalent of a racist writing a check into a Salvation Army kettle. But facts don’t matter to the Paul bashers.
You certainly ARE a comedian. We should deport the Galveston treasonweasel to the Islamotyranny of his choice.
Did he send their tainted money back???? Why not?
Something tells me that Michelle Bachmann favors AMERICAN interests over Islamofascism. That alone clearly distinguishes her from the Galveston treasonweasel, Baghdad Paulie.
It must be driving them nuts to see Dr Paul’s success with his second bestselling book, and extremely popular bill to audit the fed.
Some say he’s the most (or only) powerful Republican in Congress.
Dr. Paul is a conservative libertarian.
Gov. Palin is a libertarian conservative.
Rep. Bachmann combines the best of both.
Hope that clears things up.
Amen! The rabid stupidity of some of the anti-Paul posts is stunning! Liberty can only exist in the absence of a powerful state.
I guess all candidates better seek your approval before accepting money from anyone in case someone else’s view offend you.
$500? Sheesh.
That is only an excuse to not support Ron Paul.
What is your real reason?
They'll come out now. The scream of the free living draws the brain-dead anti-Paul zombies to us...
Hmmm...is that picture from a McCain/Mitt/Rudy rally?
Generic followers led by instinct, I can't tell the specific genus.
The constitution authorizes only Congress the power of printing money. Kind of settles it for me.
If the Fed was such a great idea, why was it passed after midnight on the last session before a Christmas recess?
Rahm, your limo is here.
I agree, but I don't think it matters. He has to understand how (un)happy his supporters were with how he campaigned last time. If he actually campaigned and got the message out, that would be a Good Thing. Anything that pushes the campaign away from RINOs like McCain, Romney, Giuliani ... is good.
Secretary of Treasury under a President Palin would be a good combination.
Outstanding simile. Of course, it won't stop the illiterate anti-Paulite brigade. Hate is their fuel, stupid is their engine.
Besides that, at least if congress screws up we can technically vote them out. We are powerless against the unelected, privately controlled federal reserve.
I agree with about 90% of Paul’s positions. I disagree with him on foreign policy, severely.
I think far too much of Sarah Palin to see her associated with the Galveston treason weasel. Likewise Michelle Bachmann. This really is not nuclear physics. We are at war. The Galveston birdbrain cannot even muster the manhood to vote to criticize Iran's brutal suppression of Iranians much less their march to nuclear weapons capability. He is actually proud to be the only dissenter. Did Michelle Bachmann join his latest defection from Western Civilization??? Of course not! Did Sarah Palin raise her voice to lionize paleoPaulie as a hero? Hell, no!
Ergo, stop smearing conservative heroines as though they were somehow associated with the cornucopia of mental illnesses afflicting paleoPaulie.
PaleoPaulie should be sent permanently in a straitjacket to Happy Delusions Rest Home along with his supporters.
Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann should continue their careers and hopefully lead the way out of the current disaster of Comrade O.
Secretary of Treasury for Osama bin Laden is more like it.
Pauls thing with the Fed is loony; the article nailed it:
|
"...eliminating the Fed would be tantamount to handing over the keys of our financial system to the European Union, China or any foreign economic power with a strong central bank." |
Ordinarily I prefer to eschew name calling, but your offerings seem appropriate and useful exceptions to my rule.
Re: “I guess all candidates better seek your approval before accepting money from anyone in case someone else’s view offend you.
$500? Sheesh.
That is only an excuse to not support Ron Paul.
What is your real reason?”
He knew that the $500 had come from Stormfront, and he knowingly and willfully refused to return it. I held him to the same standard to which I held Barry the Cokehead and Hillary Clinton when they appeared at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (the Black version of the KKK and Stormfront).
yes- Supreme Court for certain - next opening AFTER she is press secretary and scares the bejeebers out of the washington ‘press corp’
Thank you and God bless you and yours.
But you see, that reasoning is screwed up and he addressed it. Why should he give the $500 back so that they can spend it promoting their racist agenda? No, take the money and put it to good use promoting liberty.
Keeping the money is nothing like going to a racist event, as you used in your example. Going to such an event is endorsing the viewpoint. Somebody GIVING you money is not.
What does one get by giving the money back? Nothing. It is just grandstanding.
Align with Sarah Palin? Maybe there was once a chance of that but now it is impossible. There is no way he would do that given the fact that has been completely captured by the neocons on foreign policy.
Good rant. The extra rabid froth is a nice touch. But how do you really feel?
Just kidding. You might want to have a stiff drink and be seated comfortably before watching this:
Rep Bachmann's Intro To Ron Paul
Be sure to read this on an empty stomach, so you don't get cramps:
Has Ron Paul Converted Michele Bachmann To Libertarianism?
And take your heart medicine before you read this 280 post thread:
Really foolish to shoot your mouth off like that. - Were Ron Paul not a public figure, he could sue you for libel. Actually, if he could prove that you knew the info was false, he still could.
We all know that the allegation is false, and anyone that utters it is open to action.
Then why doesn’t he sue MSNBC? It has plenty of money.
I recall calling his campaign about this, and they did not deny it.
