....."I think, given the direction the Obama team intends to head with their campaign theme, we would be crazy not to reconsider Perry, given how effective his biography and life story would be combatting that theme.

If Perry performs well in Iowa, expect conservatives to tout him as the real alternative to Romney. Of the candidates, he’s still the best positioned to challenge the former Massachusetts governor."

A reminder:

No matter which candidate is ultimately selected, the team he bring to DC with him is much much more important. Past associations are an indicator.

We are in dire need of sane, experienced, ethical and honest leadership.

That will not come with the usual Washington Drone Crew.

Ron Paul is a serious anti-Israeli politiican and has been for some time. I was unaware of the extent of that until recently. See here: (Anti-Israel) Ron Paul: Blame Israel First He has had the terrible sense to even call Israel, a nation of Jews, an "agressive national socialist" state. We all know that the "national socialists" are the NAZIs. If nothing else, that is extremely cruel.

Newt has serious baggage problems.

But anyone who would vote for the kook Ronpaul needs their head examined.

Btw, where's the link? ;^)

Ron Paul could borrow Newt's "Enough Lying About..." as a leitmotif of his campaign.

O you must be joking as you have that the other way round. Gingrich & his agenda is a threat to America. Ron Paul is at least pledging to scrap the Federal Reserve which is the root of the main threat to America. This is a no brainer. Paul is the only reasonable candidate & the only one who can actually beat Obama as he does not come with the same baggage & carbon tax agenda as the rest.

Wanna see the typical Ron Paul supporter? Watch “That 70s Show.” Then look at Steven Hyde.

It's in Post #6.

The mod removed it when she/he snatched it out of "extended" news and "edited" it down to the first few sentences.

Like I said in in Post #4 when I saw the "surgery" done to my post, be sure to read it all, as it takes an interesting turn.

The sleeper agents are Mitt Romney / Rick Perry & Newt Gingrich not Ron Paul as he has been campaigning on a consistent small government message for 35 years now.

You posted it without the link, and I didn’t feel like hunting around a lefty website to find it for you.
