Here’s the thing about Ron Paul.
Even if I thought that Ron Paul advocated an important set of principles and beliefs as regards liberty or freedom (rather than, say, a portfolio of proposals culled from a state of immense dementia), um, I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS believe that any of his ideas could be enacted via the democratic process, even if he were elected president.
Do you see what I’m getting at here?
It’s not just a matter of “he can’t win.” It is more like, “if he did, so what?” This is kinda like Huckleberry’s “Fair Tax” (oxymoron for sure). Exactly how many votes does the Huck have in Congress at this point for the abolition of the federal income tax? Name five. Um, well, um, maybe.... Well how about Ron Paul...?
Why do people like Paul run for president? Only through a cataclysmic and likely violent revolution is any of what Paul is advocating ever going to occur. Why isn’t he skipping the presidential thing and just asking his followers to grab their pitchforks, light their torches, posse up....? And, sure, there are days when any of us might want to do this, given how bad things have become for conservatives.
But Paul runs for president instead. He is either too dumb to know that nothing he proposes can ever occur, or he knows this and just wants to be president anyway and doesn’t care what he says to get there. Kinda reminds you of Rodham et. al., doesn’t it?
“wants to be president anyway and doesn’t care what he says to get there.”
Name just ONE thing that Paul is saying different now than before he started running for President.
I already know you’ll never reply to this post.
