Someone is far too delusional.

I suppose if Barack Obama could be elected then anything is possible, but I also think the author makes the mistake of believing that because he likes Ron Paul's politics that makes him a good candidate. I just don't see it. There are a lot of people out there with a great ideology (I'm not sure Ron Paul's ideology is great) that are not good candidates. If 2008 proves anything it's that elections are, first and foremost, beauty contests, like it or not. A candidate who says that 9/11 is America's fault, even tangentially, is not going to win any beauty contests.

Besides, watershed events are just as likely to go against us, as the author's example of Churchill proves. I, for one, don't look forward to them. The reality on the ground is that Ron Paul won't win in 2012 and probably never will. We'll see Hillary Clinton first.

Ron Paul = Ross Perot = 4 more years of a Democrat president

I don’t mind the Paul supporters, but the Democrats who keep pushing Paul to split the Republican vote are skunks.

"Waiter! I'll have what he's drinking!"

That was one of the greatest lines from one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

The prior reply set the stage for introducing a relevant quote. "I suppose if Barack Obama could be elected then anything is possible.."

The following quote is attributed to Churchill whose election was the prototype illustration used for describing a paradigm change: "America will always do the right thing, but only after exhausting all other options."

The real point that most people miss or fail to see is that the United States is at the end of an epoch. Since 1912, the US has been becoming more socialistic and more democratic. There are a couple of quotes from the Founders that touch on the current state of affairs in America:

Unbelieveable changes are coming to the United States, probably sooner rather than later. These changes will be both economic and political. If Mises is right, we may follow someone who understands what is correct, Ron Paul, or some other alternative.

History has not been kind to nations in our present status. We can only hope that Churchill proves to be correct, "America will always do the right thing...", because all the other options have already been exhausted.

SO that’s what a Paulestinian suicide bomber looks like?

It’s a reall shame she couldn’t have been detected and deprogrammed before blowing herself up.

Now there’s a huge mess all over the internet that’ll take pressing a small X to clean up. Such a needless waste of electrons.

I would be more optimistic if there were more citizens of the USA that were capable of reasoning. There aren’t enough of them.

Heinlein was of the opinion that we must expand the species beyond earth. His reasoning was that the people that had the nerve to pack it up and move to another continent had a great impact on cleansing the gene pool for the new country. Few of the infirm, timid and weak ever made the trip. The smartest and most capable emigrated.

If not space, at least colonize the oceans.

Someone who says he’d put Dennis Kucinich in his cabinet is not right in the head.

You say all that as though you think Paul is the answer- he is not. Paul is no champion of the Constitution or Conservatism- no matter how many times his followers repeat that lie over and over. He is just another old career politician.

Paul is no Conservative- he is a moderate libertarian.
Paul is no non-interventionist- he has no problem as a representative of the US government going to Iran’s state media and denouncing both the US and countries of whom we have binding defense treaties with.
Paul is no economic champion- as chairman of the house monetary policy (ie the catbird seat) he has done nothing about any of the economic issues he claims to lead. At that, he sabotaged his own end the fed movement. He also believes in and uses the earmark process more than most- the most unConstitutional way of spending there is. Add to that, the ‘never voting for a tax increase’ is also bull. Just this past December he voted for Pelosi’s tax hike bill.

I can keep going and going but here, very few are fooled. He is to the Constitution in the same way Fred Phelps is to the Bible and his followers seem to act the same as Phelps’ followers.

No, wait! I did see a bed sheet with the words, 'Ron Paul' written on it hanging from a highway overpass, once! So, I think there may be some kind of movement building! /s
