Which shows the stupidy of blind ideology. He withdrew his candidacy, and people still voted for him, and affected nothing. Paul had good ideas, but he is completely unable to translate those ideas into a format with broad general appeal.

As Reagan put it, "Most men move to the center, great men move the center". Or at least, words to that effect. I don't have time to look up the exact quote.

The center has been moved. Leftward. Big time. Of all the GOP candidates for POTUS, there was maybe a full fluid ounce of charisma between them. It wasn't until Palin was injected into the McCain campaign that I saw a glimmer of hope.

At best, the next 4 years will be a sharp slap to the face of the morons who voted themselves bread and circus'. At worst... well... Picture a boot stomping on a human face... Forever.

Amen to that...and well said.

"Paul had good ideas, but he is completely unable to translate those ideas into a format with broad general appeal."

I agree. I hate to say it, yet I will. I found it very hard to take Ron Paul, and his supporters, seriously. Even one avid supporter who is a very dear friend.

Maybe the questionable character that is our President-Elect (i just threw up a little in my mouth, for real) will be the kick in the butt the GOP and/or the Libertarian party needs to make it's way into the new century.

Anyway, don't blame me... I voted for Fred Thompson in the primary!
